Veroen's words seemed to rejuvenate her broken heart and more importantly they shattered through her mind's barrier and managed to touch her on a level she'd allowed no one to touch her since Tokeru. Edith wrapped one of her arms around Veroen's neck while her other hand came to rest on top of his own and eventually prodded between his fingers in order to lace hers through with his. The cold contrast of his hand against her warm temple didn't seem to bother her at all though her cheek was slightly colder than it normally would have been due to the winter chill. However, despite the fact his hand was cold it didn't manage to make her colder and sent chills throughout her for an entirely different reason that had nothing to do with the coldness of them.
After a few moments of time stopping for both of them, Eden gently pulled away from their kiss, thus ending forever.
"You sure," she asked with a playful smile, "about that, blood sucker?"
After she asked her question she turned around and laid her back against his chest, taking his arms and wrapping them around her, resting her head against his chest, looking up into his eye with a smile. It was clear she was comfortable with him despite the fact they were still virtually strangers to one another. She felt like she'd known him forever and yet she'd only known him a matter of days. She felt their bond and she now understood why she hadn't been able to shoot him when he'd tried to take her blood from her in the car; she wouldn't have been able to if she'd wanted to. It would have been akin to shooting herself though on a much deeper level.
Despite the relief of everything she was still somewhat frightened but not so much because of her doubt anymore. She was concerned about Veroen after what Lily had done to him and after Lily had given him a look that said she was indefinitely not going to just let something like this go. After all, it really would have been too good to be true if Veroen loved her and his former love would be willing to accept it. However, she knew that they'd somehow managed to get through the roughest things to come so far but there would be more bumps in the road they would have to tackle but together they'd hopefully prove to be a formiddable duo.

Veroen felt weightless as he held her in his arms after the prolonged kiss. He smiled down at her, though she was extremely tall herself, he was taller. Everything seemed crystal clear to him. The smile on his face seemed to be tattoed on, as if it would never go away. He answered her playful question with a playful answer of his own.
"Yes I am, blood bag." Veroen chuckled at his words, for they were comical in alot of ways, though he would never view her as such, ever again.
His attention turned to Lily, who gave him a look that sent a touch of anger throughout Veroen's body, which immediately tensed up in reflex to anything that would be considered a threat. Veroen simply glared at Lily with the one eye he had left, knowing that it would not be the last time that he would hear from here, but wishing it would be the last.
After she disappeared from the area, Veroen turned his attention back to Edith, and gave her a reassuring look, as he slowly untensed his body.

Ceon stood on the sidewalk looking into the alleyway at Eden laying against the vampire's arms and clenched his fists. "........Sneaky b***h....." he said silently to himself as he felt a powerful urge to take out his guns and open fire on the both of them.

"You got a lucky once in a life time treat," she said as she stuck her tongue out at him and gently shoved him with her own body.
When Veroen tensed up, out of reflex Meredith held him closer to assure that he was safe and out of Lily's reach. She didn't want him to be harmed by her again the way he'd already been harmed and if she wasn't going to put up with Lily's s**t when Veroen was her friend it was probably ten fold when they were a couple. She wasn't going to allow Lily to harm him ever again for if she came within contact with him and started yelling at him and everything she'd done then Edith would be the first to put her down. Of course, it would be nice to be on a more equal playing field but for now she would wait but this incident had probably made Eden's mind up for her about Ceon's question. Of course, that was if he would still be willing to help her out after he found out that she was nothing more than a vessel for his child to him.
Never again ...
This time those words were echoing out of her protectiveness of Veroen as opposed to herself. He would not suffer for making a choice that he believed in and if Lily intended to make him suffer for it she would only bring out the worst in herself. A vampire bent on harming mortals as well as the vampire she'd fallen for, that was two strikes against her and had Meredith not forced herself to take the night off she probably would have been tailing Lily this moment. Of course, she knew that Veroen probably wouldn't like her butting in and trying to help keep him safe from Lily but she felt it was her duty and beyond that this was personal.
However, for now she didn't want the hateful vampire to ruin their evening and Meredith gently grabbed Veroen's hand when she noticed Ceon on the sidewalk. She sighed and knew that he would be angry with her but she hadn't promised him anything so there wasn't anything to feel guilty about. Meredith hadn't promised Ceon that they would be a couple and a happy family and quite frankly, they probably wouldn't have been. She would have their child and she would allow Ceon to visit but things weren't going to be all lovey dovey between them. They'd been drunk when she'd been knocked up and Ceon didn't seem to understand that. However, she wasn't a coward and she decided to go talk to Ceon, letting Veroen's hand go and turning to him as if to say 'one moment'.
She emerged from the alleyway and walked up to Ceon on the sidewalk, placing her gloved hands in her pockets, looking at him directly with her hazel eyes. "I guess you probably saw that judging by the fact you look like you're about to punch me in the face. Whether you believe me or not I really didn't plan on having the blood drained out of me and coming close to being his blood packet and then figuring out I loved him but that's how things worked out. I know you felt some 'connection' between us but as I said, I didn't promise anything other than you'd be able to visit our child because it's your right. I didn't want to hurt you but ..." She looked back at Veroen with a small smile. "I love him. I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive me but I don't expect you to. I'm still willing to be on friendly terms for the sake of our kid but also for our own sakes so yeah. I'm around and you've got my contact number."

Ceon walked into the alley a few steps, his grin ceasing to fade, "Life just seems to be a b***h like that....but you know....I'm not surprised to see this. You're weak, and fall for anybody that'll save your life, instead of giving you one. But since your so inclined to start a new one with this vampire....I may as well take away the one that I gave you." With that Ceon whipped out two fully loaded uzis from his inside pockets, clips filled with UV rounds. His grin turned to a malicious grin as he began unloading the guns on the two alley-way lovers.

Prometheus walked towards Las Noches, not waiting to see if Wolf was behind him. That's when he heard gunfire. "Damnit!" He yelled, unsheathing his Katana as he saw Ceon opening fire on somebody hidden from view. "Ceon!? What the hell are you doing!? Humans and Hunters will show up any second!" He threw himself at Ceon shoulder-first. He wanted to stop this before any bystanders showed up. No immortals needed to be killed, they needed to bond. It was the only way to survive in this time of need.

Veroen was silent, noticing Ceon in the area, said nothing, but knew deep down that this was a recipe for disaster. He kept his steady hands on the hilt of his sword and the other next to his holstered pistol, which had silver nitrate bullets loaded into it. He turned after she went to approach him, revealing his newly reconfigured face to Ceon. He glared at Ceon with his one eye, the other eye socket covered by a black eye patch, feeling his malovent intent. Hi body turned toward Ceon, as Edith approached him, and spoke to him. Veroen watched Ceon's movements carefully, watching for any signs of retaliation.
He eyed Ceon's posture, looking for anything out of the ordinary. he noticed the outline of two weapons in his pockets. Veroens eyes narrowed as he very slightly crouched, ready to do what was needed.
Everything after that seemed slow motion.
Veroen's eye widened as he saw Ceon dig his hand into his pockets and pull out the two automatic weapons. Veroen's teeth clenched as he pushed his weight forward, rushing with a mix of Vampiric and Assassin speed toward Edith, the girl he loved.
He then pushed himself to his limits, an adrenaline rush powered his movements. He came up behind Edith, and grabbed her by the waist, then kicked the wall next to him, the momentum pushing himself and Edith, who was in his arms, towards the wall of Las Noches. He straightened his body, and kicked himself off the wall of Las Noches, straight up this time, and landed on the roof of Las Noches.
He gritted his teeth from the effort it took to do this before they could get shot. He quickly set Edith down, and pulled out his two Silver Nitrate loaded weapons, and quickly leaned over the edge and aimed them at Ceon.

As Prometheus barreled into Ceon, Ceon maneuvered into a roll and threw Prometheus off of him in a second. He heard the police sirens blazing, and figured there was no need to hide his true self. He threw off his jacket and turned to his lycan form, growling as he dug his claws into the brick and ascended to the rooftops in no-time.

Prometheus growled as Ceon threw him off and changed into his Lycan form. Prometheus' teeth grew sharper as he bared them, the wolven side of him waiting to be released. He leapt up and grabbed hold of the furry legs. He heard the police sirens in the distance, knowing that trying to stay hidden was a failure. Prometheus looked up to the two, recognizing one as a Hunter and the other a Vampire. There was something about the Hunter, something different... wolven. She was pregnant with a baby Lycan. He couldn't let a Lycan child be killed. "Fly, you fools!"

Veroen's attention turned to the police sirens for a split second, before he saw Ceon transforming. Veroen clentched his teeth as he holstered his right weapon, keeping the other drawn, and drew his Katana which was made of pure silver, with his right hand. He saw Ceon begin to ascend the wall, and began to transform as well. his eyes instantly grew dark, into black pits of darkness, and his fangs grew, as well as his muscles. He let out a growl, his face full of anger.
He then threw off his heavy leather trench coat, revealing his body which was wrapped in black cloth, save for his right shoulder, where a tattoo lay.
He then readied himself into his Assassin's stance, which was where he held out his sword to the right, with his arm extended in front of him, and the left arm held straight forward as well, which held his pistold filled with Silver Nitrate bullets. This was a stance he picked up long ago, which he found to be useful against lycans.
He stepped back, and crouched, still in his stance which was pointed at the area where Ceon would appear when he would come into view. He stood in front of Edith, ready to risk his life to save hers.

The claws from Ceon's feet scratched up at Prometheus's face as he gained speed from the climb, and brick began flying everywhere. As he drew close to the roof, he dug all of his claws into the brick and launched himself up, flipping over Veroen and landing behind him. Ceon began barking visciously at the vampire.

Veroen turned and hissed at Ceon, stepping in front of Edith, blocking her from Ceon's view. He was still in his stance, pointed directly at Ceon.
"You're making a big mistake, mutt." Veroen growled through his teeth, a furious look creeping onto his face.

Prometheus let out an ear-piercing snarl as he flew into the air. It brought back painful memories. The Tainted freak who fought him in the city. He snapped back in to reality. He turned, landing in front of Ceon and behind the Vampire. His clothes began to rip and hair slowly started to grow as he grew more into his Lycan form. "Snap out of it! There are several lives on the line!" He barked out at Ceon. Prometheus turned to the Vampire. "Grab the girl and go! Save the child's life!" He had been around enough pregnant women to know when someone's pregnant.
~~I've got to go, try not to get too far without me!~~
