Night Time Walk (Seras)

[era]

Era opened her mouth as Hiro bit harder into her neck, she was trying to draw a lot of air into her lungs but it wasn't really working. Not with his fangs buried deep into her neck, her human side came back into control from the pain that he gave her; when Hiro pulled away Era gasped for air. Thinking he had finnished drinking she started to move slightly but stopped mid motion when he reached to the bottom of the shirt and just ripped it off, Era gave a small squeak of suprise as he threw it too the blood soaked floor. She had a feeling Hiro would hate himself when he snapped out of the state he was in, as Hiro placed a hand on her breast and the other supported her head as he pushed her backwards Era shivered at the feeling of the cold glass against her skin.

Feeling the glass break Era gasped in pain at the feeling as some of the glass pushed into her skin as she moved slightly as if trying to get away from Hiro but it was just her wolf coming back into control again, as he pushed her back more Era smirked slightly; her wolf currently was liking that Hiro was hurting her and the human inside had gone to sleep and was quiet. As he bit into her neck again Era arched her back a little in slight pain, feeling his hand on her thigh she moved her leg a bit so then it wasn't so uncomfortable.

As he stroked his hand up her body to her breast Era shivered slightly at the feeling a wiggled a little making the shards of glass dig deeper into her back and bite into her skin, her back was numb to the pain and her neck was going numb to the pain that was there from Hiro but she was staying with it. For now. As Hiro touched her cheek gently Era smiled slightly before he pushed her head sideways and bit down hard into her neck. Giving a light growl once again she opened her mouth slightly as the pain slowly slid to pleasure for her, when he left her neck again she took a few deep breaths of air; she was happy her body was keeping her blood count up with little problems she was more then happy to be feeding Hiro.

Era just wanted to move onto her side and get more air into her lungs but she watched as Hiro savoured the taste of her blood like it was some beautiful wine, when Hiro looked back down at her Era smirked softly. Turning her head slightly for him when he licked her blood from her neck Era let her eyes close for a moment before he kissed and nibbled his way to her breast before she could even brace herself for the bite she knew would be coming he bit into her making her gasp and arch her back a little. The wolf inside of her was enjoying herself a little too much as she arched her back a little again and rested back against the broken mirror sending the shards of glass straight into her back leaving blood on the mirror as she moved a little more as she raised a hand and dug her fingers gently at first into a small bit of the wound on Hiro's shoulder that was left from her. Feeling his blood on her fingers she bit her fingers in deeper until she touched his bone and she smirked again.

[serasalcaste]

Era's body was beginning to react perfectly to the pain Hiro was bringing it, and he too noticed it well. Her back arching to every ounce of pain he could muster short of killing her swiftly, it seemed the wolf in her was now in complete control of the lady and it was enjoying every bit of this. It made the vampire strangely happy. Hiro slammed the girl back against the shards of glass, the broken mirror piercing her skin and tearing it apart. But when she dug her fingers deep into his shoulder, Hiro could only lean into her more. He too was enjoying the pain.

As the vampire took its fangs out of her petite breast, he licked his lips clean and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. Something strange happened then. As he leaned away from her just a little, the most stunningly beautiful smile crept across his stained lips. It almost could have been mistaken as Hiro's smile, but the moment the vampire opened its eyes, it was evident the creature of the night was just absolutely ecstatic. The pleasure Era's taste brought to him was like no other. It was something nobody could ever understand unless they were a vampire. It wasn't simply about satisfying a taste. Every last fiber of his being craved Era's blood, and its brilliant taste brought such a tremendous satisfaction it would keep him as a monster.

Without letting her rest for maybe more than just a few seconds, Hiro bit into what was left of her precious neck. Her red blood was flowing steadily down her pale skin, covering them both. But still he didn't stop. Hiro was so far beyond himself it would surely take a lot from Era to get him to stop. If she didn't stop him, the vampire in him was certain to kill her off. Though to stop a creature like Hiro would take much more than anyone would typically bargain for. The last time, they nearly had killed each other. Perhaps she would have to get even closer this time. Especially because right now, he was enjoying himself and her far too much to stop. The kind, caring gentleman she knew was so far gone there wasn't even a hint of anything hurt or remorseful inside him anywhere. He truly had forgotten who he was, given up and taken over by the terrible vampire.

As Hiro slammed Era back into the glass she gasped in pain, clenching her eyes close as the skin on her back was torn open she opened her eyes after a moment. They were still silver but the human side of her back back in control, as Hiro bit into her neck again she without warning she shoved her hands hard against his chest and growled at Hiro in a low threatening way. Without saying anything Era continued to growl at Hiro as she wiggled out from under him her back ripping open more from the shattered glass and more of the glass going into her back.

Getting from under him Era hit the bathroom floor hard a loud cracking sound came from her right foot which was under her at a funny angle but ignored it and got to her feet and faced Hiro shaking her head slightly she watched him "I'm sorry" she said softly backing away from him she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself as she moved out of the bathroom and shut the door. Moving quickly she grabbed a chair and propped it under the door, she was going to give herself a little time and give Hiro some space until he calmed down. Wiping most of the blood off of her with the towel she walked into the closest and quickly got changed into a pair of skinny jeans and a tank top she wasn't going to bother with shoes and her back was killing her with the glass digging and ripping open her back more with every step, walking into the living room Era walked over to one of the couches and sat down carefully on the edge of it and placed her head in her hands.

Her skin was more pale then normal and she was letting the pain her body was going through just wash other her, with a groan of pain Era got to her feet looking around she found a piece of paper and wrote a note for Hiro telling him she had gone for a walk and that she would be back soon. But she knew when Hiro was back to his normal self he would come and find her and with the glass in her back ripping her skin open everytime it healed it would easily lead Hiro to where she was, breathing carefully she placed the paper when he would see it when he got out of the bathroom. Walking too the front door she pulled it open and walked to the lift bare foot it was taking her effort she stay upright and wake, getting into the lift Era leaned aginst the wall heavily as the lift took her too the lobby.

She knew she must look disgusting, ignoring the looks she got Era walked out of the hotel in pain and slowly started walking in the direction of her apartment; keeping her head bowed Era looked at the ground to stop herself from looking at people and to hite the bites on her neck away.

[serasalcaste]

The gentleman Hiro heard era's little whimpers of pain as she then growled a deep, mean growl and glared at her with not the eyes of a wolf, but those of a human. They had still been silver, but there was enough emotion in them that it confused the vampire for just a moment long enough to begin to wake himself up inside. When she pushed him away and fell to the floor, it only helped Hiro to further regain himself. But still, he was mostly just a lustful vampire, completely consumed by urges. However, for whatever reason, as Era left the room in a hurry and propped a chair under the door, Hiro tried to turn the knob instead of just breaking through. As the door didn't open, he took a few steps back and glared at the blood covered bathroom. Then down at his hands. They were pale, and drenched in Era's blood. His own lover's blood was all over himself, her taste still lingering in his mouth.

Finally, it hit him. Completely. His shaking hands out before him, Hiro took a gander around the room. It was horrific, and disgusted him beyond words. The terror he now felt towards everything, especially himself was extreme. Had he really done all of this? Why was Era's blood all over everything? Where is she, is she okay? Was she the one that had locked him in here alone? Hiro had a million and a half questions bouncing through his trouble mind, and everything always led back to what he had done. Hiro then figured it out. His vampire had let itself out, and this was the aftermath. There was no way Hiro could have been more devastated. It felt as though cut off all his air, chocked off his heart, and made the world silent. He could hear or feel nothing in that moment than a guilt so strong it drove him mad.

Again, he wasn't himself. The only way he would let himself use his vampiric strength to get through the door was because he felt there was one single thing that had to be done once and for all, and a simple door and a chair wasn't about to stop him. Hiro wanted to kill the vampire more than anything. He had never felt any stronger about it. Not once in his long life. It just so happened the vampire and himself were the same person, but he felt he was more than willing to make the sacrifice. Right then, all he knew was that his Era was missing. She had left him. And more importantly, he must have hurt her in some unimaginable way. Afterall, there was blood darn near everywhere in that restroom!

Breaking through the door and pushing the chair aside, Hiro had the world's most melancholy expression. Walking into his bedroom, the vampire just passed the note Era had written and missed it as he now had a one track mind. In the far wall of his walk in closet, there was a little space that would come open as a hide away, and it was where Hiro kept his guns. Taking his favourite pistol out along with a box of ammunition, he made his way out to a table slowly. Hiro was so convinced this was what he had to do, he didn't even notice a note sitting on the table when he put down the box of bullets. After loading 8 bullets into the gun, Hiro put it to his heart and closed his eyes slowly.

Slowly, thoughts ran through his mind. They were only faint memories of what had just happened, but brutal enough. It was like watching someone else do such terrible things to Era, then realizing it was in fact only himself. She must have gone through excruciating pain because of him. It wouldn't be right for him to take only one bullet and be done. Thankfully for everyone, Hiro's suite was relatively soundproof because Hiro fired off all 8 bullets into himself. A few in his stomach and chest, nearly piercing his heart, and enough in his arm for it to come off. They were really huge bullets, pure silver, the kind that sort of explode when they hit something and break everything apart. Typical for any vampire hunter to have, Hiro always kept them secretly in his arsenal. Writhing in pain, with one of his own arms blown off and large holes in him, Hiro was barely able to put two more bullets into the gun before he noticed blood splattered onto a white piece of paper sitting in front of him. His vision was getting blurry, the sight of his limb sitting on the floor beside him was heaps disgusting. Being a vampire he could prolly keep it and have it heal back together, but Hiro wasn't in the mood for that. Before he decided to read the note, Hiro put the gun to his face and pulled the trigger.

It was a good thing he had taken in so much of his lover's blood, his healing kept him more than alive, but never stopped the pain. With his one arm off, his body full of holes, and now half of his face gone, it would take a while for him to heal if he even wanted to. It was hard for him to read the note, but Hiro could make out that Era had left to go for a walk, and after looking towards the door he noticed little droplets of her blood making a trail. Doing his best to get up on shot legs, Hiro left his suite and then the hotel.

Somewhere down the street, Hiro could barely see what looked like the silhouette of a long girl walking with a bit of a limp. She wasn't wearing shoes, and her jeans seemed to be sticking tighter to her body than usual. Hiro forced himself to walk a little bit faster, pushing the limits of his vampire body. As he approached Era, he couldn't even bring himself to say anything. He kept a safe distance and stumbled after her, holding wat was left of his arm and scaring everyone who might have seen him. He was beginning to look like swiss cheese. Hiro was glad that the sun was setting because most people wouldn't immediately notice his situation in the dark, but he was enjoying the horrible burns the last of the sun's rays was bringing.

[/size][/center]

[era]

Era raised her head after a moment of walking and saw some men just leering at her which made her pull a disgusted face as she continued to limp along her way, noticing she wasn't too far Era could hear a few people gasp behind her. Not really paying attention to the noises Era leaned against a near by lamp post her back resting against the cold metal which made the piece of glass tear her skin agian as she sunk to the ground with her eyes closed, ignoring the pain in her back Era could feel the blood running down her skin and the feeling disgusted her and made her want to get off of the cold pavement and have a hot shower even though it would hurt badly with the glass in her back.

Turning her head to the side Era slowly opened her eyes and looked at the trail of blood she had left and looked up, seeing someone stumbling towards her and frowned a little; at first she thought it might be a zombie then the lamp light caught the person and she realised it was Hiro. Forcing herself to her feet Era bit her bottom lip hard making it bleed as she stood upright making pain just throb through her body, leaning against the lamp she watched Hiro for a moment before she wrapped and arm around the lamp just to make sure she stayed upright.

A few people were looking at her in a disgusted manner like she was drunk or something and everyone else was staying as far away from Hiro as they could get, though really he did look at mess. Shaking her head a little she was going to scold Hiro when she had enough energy to do so for doing such a thing to himself, "Why did you...do that?" she asked softly when Hiro had gotten closer it seemed to be taking Era effort to keep standing and to even talk.

[serasalcaste]

As Hiro took a small step forward into the light of a nearby lamppost, Era could completely see what had happened to him. A few people that were left on the street saw how the vampire was missing one of his arms and part of his face and they fled. Hiro couldn't have blamed them if he wanted. He felt horribly disgusted with himself and the waning pain from the dying sunlight made him frown. It was the only expression he could even wear. Just then, the vampire wanted nothing more than to be crucified on a silver cross under a hot sun. But he shouldn't be so lucky.

Stopping dead in his tracks, Hiro didn't take any more steps closer to Era. He was honestly afraid of her, of himself. What he had done to her again was too terrible in his mind, and he didn't even remember the details. When she asked him why he had done such a thing to himself, Hiro couldn't bring any words to answer her. All he could do was stand there in a puddle of his own blood. The silver left in him was eating away at his body and soon one of his legs crumbled away on the inside and he fell. Pulling himself back up, Hiro sat up against the lamppost and stared out into the street. The pavement felt cold, his body felt colder than usual, and the blood running along his skin was never warm like a human's. It was his constant reminder that he wasn't human no matter how much he wanted to be.

After everyone had run away, the streets were pretty empty with only Era, Hiro, and maybe a few brave people that had to go about business. Hiro still couldn't even speak to Era, or look at her. He didn't have any answers for her, like he always had, he couldn't even hope to protect her with the shape he was now in. But he also knew that maybe, just maybe, she would be her usual self and instead of hating him for everything, she would feel bad and hurt to see him like he was. It made him feel so selfish, and conflicted. His thoughts were only driving him into a further depression, and his pain must have been unimaginable.

Hiro slowly reached into his coat and took out his pistol. There was a single silver bullet left in it. He carefully slid it across the cold pavement to where Era was sitting. Hiro knew she was still bleeding from whatever he had done to hurt her. Her scent was intoxicating and it upset him greatly. Every moment longer he was next to her, Hiro began to hate himself more and more. Era was such a lovely lady, and the vampire that he was ruined her. Hiro wanted her to despise him, and gave her all the power to do it. With one bullet he could finally be killed.

[/size][/center]

[era]

Watching Hiro Era sighed softly, looking at the pistol she moved and sat down on the ground beside him; looking at the bullet that was in the gun she frowned. Without uttering a word for a second Era held the gun in both of her hands for a second before she easily broke it in two holding the two parts up for Hiro to see she shook her head again "I'm not going to kill you" she said simply as she threw one part of the gun over Hiro's head and down the pavement away from them; turning sharply Era cringed in pain slightly before she threw the other part of the gun into the middle of the road. Looking back at Hiro she sighed softly and gently touched the side of face that was still intact "I hate it when you tourture yourself....because of me" she chocked out trying to stop herself from crying.

Her neck ached, her breast that Hiro had bitten hurt and her back was killing her; but still she didn't hate Hiro nor want him to do anything more to hurt himself even if he wanted to. Closing her eyes she sighed "I am going to be selfish and...ignore any protests you have" Era said softly as she opened her eyes and bit into her own wrist and held it out to Hiro "I can't live without you and I will not be the one to kill you" she whispered as she moved much closer to him, moving her arm slightly she made sure her now bleeding wrist was facing him fully. "Please, I cannot bare to lose you too...not like I have lost everyone else in my life" Era whispered tears welling up in her eyes and they threatened to spill down her cheeks at any moment as she looked at Hiro.

Keeping her free hand on his cheek she bit the inside of her bottom lip, blinking a few times Era's tears spilled down making her look like an innocent child like she used to when she was back in London and she used to cry at her window whenever she was in trouble with anyone in her family.

[serasalcaste]

Hiro let out a soft sigh, blooding running down his chin. He was completely drenched in blood but no matter what, no matter how horrible he looked or what he did, Era still wouldn't hate him and never held anything against him. Perhaps that is what it meant to truly love someone, but Hiro just couldn't understand how she could possibly feel that way about someone like himself. Not only was he a gross monster, she was now inhuman as well and since the day Era had lost her humanity, Hiro blamed himself for not having been there for her. He could have stopped that stupid were from turning her. She could still be human if only he'd been there for her when it mattered most.

But Era was right. Hiro had promised her, and above all else, he wouldn't let Era be alone anymore. She didn't seem to want him dead, and now he'd forced her to see him in such a horrible state. He'd brought tears to her eyes, something that was profoundly hurtful to his heart. To some people it wasn't such a big deal, but making Era cry was one of the most horrible things in his mind.

Hiro tore part of his shirt off and tied it gently but tight enough around Era's wrist that she just bit into. He wiped a tear from her eye, blood smearing across her cheek. It took every ounce of his will not to fear the girl, and he felt incredibly unsuited for her. But Hiro understood her decision to want him of all things, and so no matter how uncomfortable it might make him feel after what he'd done, Hiro would remain with her. The vampire would keep his silly issues to himself and feel horrible on his own time. Still, he was afraid to speak, not knowing what to say and with alot of his face gone it was hard to talk.

"I... I've taken enough... I'll... I'll be alright. I promise... Just give me time..."

With his free hand, Hiro gently plucked a few larger shards of glass out of Era's back after reaching up underneath her shirt. he then took his shirt off and wrapped it tight around her body to stop the bleeding sooner. Though it exposed his body and let her see just how much damage he had done to himself. And the fact that they were healing slow told her they had been silver bullets. They stopped bleeding, though the bullets were still in him. His wounds had already healed over and he would just have to deal with the bit of silver pain like any other. it wasn't a big deal.

"Let's get you home... Miss Era.."

Hiro stood slowly, forcing himself up, and held out a hand for Era.

[/size][/center]

[era]

Letting Hiro bandage her wrist up with a bit of his shirt she didn't argue against it, sniffling slightly she let Hiro wipe the tear off of her cheek. Making a small nod of her head when Hiro spoke she gave a small frown when he reached up under the back of her shirt, when he pulled out a few bigger shards of glass she gave out a half cry half sob of pain. Clenchind her eyes closed she stayed sitting on the pavement for a moment as she breathed deeply as Hiro took his shirt off and wrapped it around her which made her wince slightly, looking up at Hiro she took his hand and carefully got to her feet and right ankel almost giving out under her weight but she made herself steady by using Hiro and the lamp post.

Looking at Hiro she made another small nod of her head "Ok" she said softly as she reached up to her face and wiped the blood off of her cheek as best as she could which only made it spread across her cheek more, ignoring it she looked at Hiro for a moment and nibbled on her bottom lip. There was no way Era was going to forgive herself for letting Hiro do so much damage to himself, she knew it was silly of her to think like that but she didn't want to be forgiven for driving him to the last straw when he hadn't wanted to bite her.

Still holding onto his hand gently Era bit down hard on the inside of her bottom lip to stop herself from crying again, after a moment she slowly started walking towards her apartment even though she knew it made Hiro uncomfortable and it was closest to them. "I-I'm sorry...for making you do...that" Era whispered only loud enough for Hiro to hear as she bowed her head and looked down at the pavement like a child who was being scolded for doing something wrong.

[serasalcaste]

Hiro followed Era down the street as they made their way to her apartment, only looking at her a few times. He felt so incredibly horrible the vampire didn't even feel as though he should even set his eyes on her ever. No matter what, Hiro would never blame even a single ounce of anything on Era. They were one in the same when it came to that sort of thing.

Seeing her limping because her one foot couldn't hold so much weight, Hiro let Era lean against him, even though it was on his side with his bad shoulder and not much of an arm left. It was probably heaps gross for her, but he said nothing.

"You haven't a reason to be, Miss Era. Its alright." Hiro reassured her when Era put her head down. "Come now, keep your head up, you're a lady afterall." In truth the vampire was in no position to even suggest what Era do, much less tell her, but he was right. She didn't need to be sorry. Maybe Hiro shouldn't have been either. Though Era didn't MAKE him do anything. The lady only ever meant to help him. Her love was always so endearing.

With every step further that Hiro took, he felt as though his body would break apart and leave him in a pile of dust, but they both knew that wouldn't happen. Already his face was healing back his body stopped bleeding for the most part, except his arm. He would have to go back to his suite for that sometime later.

[/size][/center]

[era]

Leaning aganist Hiro lightly she didn't say anything about his arm instead she just made a small nod of her head and raised her head slightly as they reached her apartment building, "I'm just going to head straight on up....y-you should go and um...get your..." Era said softly and trailed off at the end of her sentence as she looked at what was left of his arm and pointed slightly not even really sure what she should say. Without saying another thing she let go of Hiro and started to climb the stairs even though it took her effort she got to her apartment.

Opening the unlocked door she turned on the light and gently closed the door behind herself and left it unlocked as she walked into her bedroom grabbing a nightgown she walked into the bathroom, pulling off her blood soaked clothes with effort she turned and looked at her back in the mirror and winced at the sight of all of the glass in her back; shaking her head she started up the shower and climbed in.

Taking a deep breath she put her back to the water, falling to the floor of the shower Era pressed her hands hard against the tiled wall and moved her fingers slightly like she was going to try and dig through the tiles; taking deep breaths she clenched her eyes closed as the pain rolled over her. After a moment she slowly got to her feet again and cleaned the rest of her body off, turning off the taps she climbed out of the shower and carefully dried herself off. Looking at her nightgown she wasn't going to risk ripping it up with the shards of glass that were still in her back, picking it up carefully she walked into her bedroom.

Sitting on her bed Era placed the night gown at the end of her bed and carefully moved under the covers and laid on her stomach her blankets were bunched up around her waist so she wasn't hurting her back more with the blankets. Era's back for the most part had stopped bleeding but hadn't healed and she was trying to limit her movements so then the skin wouldn't be pulled open again. Turning her head to the side Era got comfortable carefully laying in her bed, closing her eyes she knew she couldn't get to sleep not with the pain in her back she was just trying to relax as best she could.

[serasalcaste]

Nodding lightly as Era told him to go get his arm, Hiro took a few steps away before turning to watch Era. She was limping up the stairs slowly and it took her far too long for comfort for her to even get anywhere. It hurt Hiro like no other to see her like that. With a sigh and an involuntary wince of pain, the vampire followed her up the stairs after the girl had already made it inside. Of course it was hell for him to make it up the stairs as well, but pain to him didn't register no more. His body felt it, but his mind no longer recognized it.

Listening carefully as the sound of a running shower came from inside her apartment, Hiro slowly crept inside, making sure not to drip any blood anyplace. He hid in the shadows, not wanting to disturb her and feeling awfully unwelcome in her apartment. Though before he had felt it was a little unnecessary for Era to have a separate home from his suite, or for he to live elsewhere than her, now it began to seem pretty useful.

When Era laid herself down slowly, Hiro could see the pain in her eyes. How she laid down with her back exposed even though it was a little chilly in the room. It probably couldn't be helped. She was in such pain. It made the vampire's heart ache like no other. Soon, Hiro slowly made his way to her side sitting on the edge of the bed and leaning over her.

"Shhh... it's alright Miss Era... please, relax." Hiro cooed in her ear, running his cold slender fingers down her back. It would probably be a bit soothing to her, but the scars that might form from the glass in her back made Hiro sad. He slowly touched the first larger piece and pulled it out with a gentleness that rivaled a saint's. One by one, the vampire delicately plucked the glass out of his lover's back and soon she was free of everything. He leaned down and kissed her precious skin before immediately turning away and standing up off the bed, feeling unwelcome.

He had yet to go back to his suite, but it didn't matter to him. She may yet me irritated with him for it, but all Hiro wanted to do was make sure she was alright. Hiro slowly made his way out of the room quietly and went out on the balcony, staring out into the street at nothing in particular. His wounds were healing slowly and he would be alright, though the pain was something no human could ever imagine. The silver burned in his body but he somehow found the will to ignore it.

[/size][/center]

[era]

Opening her eyes when she felt a weight on her bed Era moved her head slightly and looked at Hiro for a second before he spoke to her, feeling his fingers runnning down her back she shivered slightly at the cooling touch before she felt his fingers on a piece of glass she closed her eyes tightly but didn't make a noise when he gently pulled it out and went about getting the rest of the glass from her back. When he placed a kiss on her skin Era smile softly but the smile soon left when he got up and walked out to the balcony, sitting up carefully there was still a twinge of pain in her back as she pulled her nightgown on.

Getting out of her bed she limped out to the balcony and carefully wrapped her arms around Hiro and gently leaned agianst his back "Are you mad at me?" she whispered as she looked at the apartments across the street from her's, it was just a question that Era had to ask him.

Keeping her arms around him gently Era didn't want to hurt him more then she had already seeing as she had made him do some horrible things since she had been with him; to her it wasn't fair to put him through such peril. Keeping her head resting lightly against his back she closed her eyes as she nibbled on her bottom lip thinking about if Hiro was going to be ok.

[serasalcaste]

"I don't believe I could ever be upset with you, Miss Era." Hiro whispered, turning around and holding her close. His embrace was weak and lacking, as he only had one arm at the moment. Should he ever make it back to his suite things would be just dandy but right then, the vampire honestly didn't mind if what was left of it should heal and leave him with just a stump really. He wouldn't care that every time he moved even in the slightest he would feel a bit of pain somewhere, anywhere, the silver still burning in his body. Hiro looked a lot better than he did when he'd first caught up to her out in the street, albeit his arm, but that just showed them both what a gross vampire he had become.

"I'm heaps sorry... for everything... I don't... I don't wish to be like this no more... I can't.. I just can't keep hurting you like this." Hiro told her, his voice quiet and remorseful. As usual, it didn't strike him at all that he had damn near killed himself. After seeing the note, Hiro knew he wouldn't die, just suffer indefinitely for hurting his beloved Era. "You were lucky this time, lass. I can't even tell you how much... I-I would have killed you..." It was sure enough very hard for Hiro to admit what he had done and to even think about it hurt him so much. It was heaps difficult to have been by her side and pulled the glass out of her back, the very pieces he himself had put there.

"I'm afraid I'm not any good for you... at all..." a soft whisper escaped his pale, blood-stained lips. Hiro wasn't entirely sure if he'd even meant anything by it, but the truth was out in the open now. Vampire and human alike, he didn't feel swell enough to be her lover. When he had thrown her his pistol, he'd honestly meant for her to take the liberty of putting them both out of his misery. It was the one surefire way he know she'd be safe, at least from him. As far as Hiro knew, HE was the biggest danger to her. Even if they were to stay together, surely their relationship would suffer because of him. Hiro no longer felt most comfortable beside her, constantly afraid of what could, and nearly did happen. It hurt to be so close and to hold her, and he sure as heck didn't find himself great enough to kiss her or be her lover. Not at all. But it also tore him apart to not give her all the love she deserves and more. Hiro couldn't have felt more conflicted right then. The vampire was beginning to feel awfully foolish for having left his suite to go after her. When he regained his composure, he had been alone. Era was gone. He couldn't have felt more terrible and absolutely alone. But for whatever reason, something had convinced him to go out and find her, even though everything told him not to. If she honestly had left him right then, Hiro couldn't have blamed her in the least. After what he'd done to her, Hiro was a little bit confused why she wouldn't be appalled and despise him. In his mind, there was absolutely no excuse for what he'd done. It didn't matter if he was a vampire or not.

[/size][/center]

[era]

Era rested her forehead against his chest gently when he turned around, listening to his words Era sighed softly; closing her eyes and took her head from his chest and looked at him "You are perfect for me" she whispered as she raised a hand and gently touched his cheek as she studied his face, "But...if you really think that Hiro...maybe we should be apart for the night and work it out tomorrow...you need to go and take care of yourself" she said gently, Era hated the very idea of being away from Hiro for any length of time.

Era was mentaly kicking herself for even sugesting such a thing to Hiro, she hoped he wouldn't agree to such a thing; but he needed to some how reattach his arm so maybe in a very small way it was for the best. "I'm not sujesting that because I don't love you anymore Hiro...I love you more then anything" she added as she leaned up a little and gently kissed his cheek.

"But if you do go...just know I am always going to be here. And if you're not here when I wake up I'll come and see you...because I know we can work around this" Era said gently as she touched his cheek again, she wanted more then anything for Hiro just to go back to being himself, the Hiro she used to know from long ago; but that would mean stepping back in time and for both of them to be apart of a world that no longer existed no matter how much Era wished it did.
