“if i was trying to do that, you’d know. i’m just— i’m done.” dark eyes close for only a moment before two fingers come up to pinch the bridge of her nose, a sigh escaping. “i’m done caring about what happened. i’m done hurting. i’m done feeling anything.”
“you’re human,” he said bluntly. “you have to feel something; maybe even a slight amount of regret or hatred.” not that it mattered to him – ky could feel nothing if he actually chose to clear his mind. “however,” he said, hands folding calmly across his chest. “i believe the only one holding onto anything right now is you.”
“Well…mi casa es tu casa, I’ve been in your shoes plenty of times so rejecting you would kinda make me feel like shit, just a little,” She added with a smile, taking a sip of her own whiskey.
“So who’s on your trail? Should I reinforce the door or something in case they come knockin’?”
“Family for one – the rest?” he let a smirk spread across his lips. “ i’m sure we’ll see in good time.” Ky may not have been detailed on all the specifics of who wanted his head for one reason or another. However, what he did know was that hiding would ultimately be in his best interests.
“They don’t seem to take it kindly when you decline an offer.”
Nate doesn’t senselessly attack people. sure, he’s heard a lot about this man and he was hired to hunt him down, but he didn’t make a move on it until he followed him long enough to come up with his own opinion of him. eh, enough of an opinion, at least. Nate doesn’t have any money right now– he doesn’t have the privilege of being picky with jobs.
“you’re aware of your reputation, huh? i’m sure there’s a reason you have one like that. or you expect me to believe your word over the word of twenty others?” that’s definitely a knife digging into the man’s thigh. not piercing, of course. not yet.
“Oh, I’m quite aware people talk.” Most of the time it was the truth, but there was no reason to admit that for the moment. “They spread their information over wide nets, altering or even exaggerating things and the truth is never cared about. Only that they spread the lies further.”
It was then a grin slowly started to spread across his lips. “So, how about we come to an agreement.” Maybe that way he could actually get some wiggle room to do something should things make a turn for the worst. “— we both agree to have a nice chat; no weapons and no trying to kill each other for let’s say… ten minutes?” That way, Ky could get on an even playing field, and maybe talk his way out of this…uncomfortable situation.
to hear those words and to know that vlad was DISAPPOINTED in him was a serious blow. he’d made sure to KEEP his head down and PLEASE the vampire. ky even made sure to STAY near vlad when all he wanted to do was leave. it was a CHOICE he disliked, but one that was NEEDED to make sure that everything went smoothly.
a deep breath escaped his lips as he took a HESITANT step back. he remained as calm as he could; keeping himself under control was slightly difficult, but not impossible. he had been learning on how to control his heart rate and HIDE his innermost emotions from vlad. It was something that he was slowly getting adept at… even though he felt it most likely unnerved the vampire.
“i didn’t think things would actually go that BADLY.” he knew it wouldn’t turn out well, but that is what happened when ky went out and DESTROYED most of a city. it was only a matter of time before VLAD had to take matters into his own hands and ky knew for a fact he WOULDN’T be allowed to leave anytime soon. not when he caused this much TROUBLE in a single day. “I just…” he glanced the ground. “I just..” as much as he tried, he couldn’t bring himself to TRULY lie to vlad. “i needed a little fresh air and AMUSEMENT – i got carried away.”
i scare people lots because i walk very softly and they don’t hear me enter rooms so when they turn around i’m just kind of there and their fear fuels me
It had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R’lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway. Some day he would call, when the stars were ready, and the secret cult would always be waiting to liberate him. Meanwhile no more must be told. There was a secret which even torture could not extract. Not even about the one who would bring it all… the herald.
