people were always weak, frail, slow, they could never amount to lucifer were they faced with him and the times of st george have long since passed. they had more empathy towards them now than they used to, however. “who kills them? gods or the devil?” now they were slipping more towards curiosity about the other. there was much to be learnt from talks with strangers that only ever started for leaving a bloodtrail behind.
ky wished that he could say that it was gods or even devils, but the reality of the matter was exactly the opposite, ❝ usually themselves. ❞ it was harsh statement, but in all reality, it was the truth,
❝ sometimes it’s disease, but nine out of ten times, it’s humanity. they don’t even need a reason…they just enjoy ending each other’s lives. ❞
“I hope you mean Taco Bell when you said that just now.” Stiles could not remember the last time he had a crunch wrap and now he REALLY wanted one. “Really?” That wasn’t something he expected to hear at all. “What kind of freedom we talking about?”
❝ i was going to say a little place down south —– great taco’s, but if you want something more easier to handle? taco bell it is. ❞ not that he was complaining, but then again, it was rare that ky actually ate anything. at least with a human around.
❝ do really think i CARE? ❞ a harsh tone to match just as harsh words,
❝ do remember you BROUGHT this on yourself. ❞
‘AH. that’s good. they make you form alliances yet? i hated that the most. ’
❛ so far it’s JUST been staying out of TROUBLE. plus, i don’t think ANYONE really APPROVES of my presence. it’s EASIER to stay away from that shit than try to get INVOLVED. making ALLIANCES is crap —- even more so when they WANT to tear you apart before you even ATTEMPT anything. ❜
❝ y’know that’s a pretty bold thing to admit to a hunter, even if he just told you he’s a bit open minded. i’m hoping to keep my head the way it is, though, ‘till i’m a bit too slow on the uptake with a monster. don’t want to become reckless and stupid like most guys that survive this lifestyle too long. ❞
❝ i’ve admitted many things to hunters : even slept with a few of them, but at the end of the day, we can’t change who we are. ❞ not that ky’lar ever wanted to —- he enjoyed what he was… even if half the time he would have given anything to not be a demon, ❝ you, a human hunter, and i…. i wasn’t given a choice. ❞
“When you have a price over your head, things change.”
The demoness was never much for helping people to begin with, but she really didn’t feel like getting herself into trouble with more people. She had enough to worry about, after all. However, she would listen. Then decide whether she felt like helping or not. She crossed her arms over her chest, cocking a hip to the side.
“Give me a name and I’ll consider it.”
while her words were quite true, he honestly doubted that she would do anything; with a price on someone’s head, things were different, and putting their neck out on the line for someone else could complicate matters. a reason to why there was part of him that didn’t want to say anything else.
that way, he wouldn’t inconvenience her any more that was needed, and maybe he could find a way to fix this situation himself. it was doubtful, but all the same, he already could tell that no matter what he said, he wouldn’t get closer toward his goal —- at least quickly.
❝ it’s a bit more complicated than that. ❞
he bit his lower lip for a few moments : just long enough to strike blood as he moved to speak again.
❝ I always have a plan. ❞ Though, in truth, most of his best plans were limited to making it up as he went along, and rarely did he ever think anything through days or hours in advance,
❝ You just have to trust me. ❞
“No one’s preventing you from doing ANYTHING, I JUST —” She pauses, eyes closing as she heaves out a sharp breath and counts to ten. It’s fine. It was fine. She was safer with him there than she was anywhere else. She could handle the fighting if she had to. “Nevermind, can we just – act like normal people for a day and go do something stupid and touristy, or not …”
he was going to suggest that he make a few DEALS before they could do something STUPID, but at the same time, ky knew that it WOULDN’T be worth it. maybe in a few hours, but NOT now or.. anytime soon if he was being honest with himself,
❝ ——fine. one day, we’ll visit all the tourist sights, and i’ll not kill anyone, deal? ❞
usually, ky’lar had his gloves on to hide things like this : blood and cuts were the norm for him, but he didn’t actually think anyone would mention them. then again, he tried to stay away from everyone —- it was safer that way,
ky didn’t believe her : no one ever was alive around him — not for long at any rate. she just was the one exception to that little fact and yet… he had fallen for a good reason. no matter what he was, he cared for her —- a reason to why he wanted to get as far away as possible. that way, there was no way he could ever mess it up,
❝ —- i don’t care. ❞ maybe it was harsh, harder than he absolutely needed it to be, but he wasn’t going to change his mind….he couldn’t care…it would only cause far more pain than necessary.
