Welcome to Gaia! ::

The voice she had known long ago. A smirk crossed her lips as she spoke, not looking at him. "Counseling, Jack?" She spoke as if counseling or therapy was pointless. In her mind, she was too far gone to be helped. Now her voice was a mere whisper. "You of all people should know what I've been through... The deaths of so many friends. The defiance of so many allies... Now... This..." Takiko's hair fell in front of her face as she looked at the ground. She remained sitting on the hood of the car, watching a few of her tears roll down the hood she sat upon.

So many times has Takiko been in a moment like this. To her, crying is her biggest weakness. She could never control it. Yet she could hide it. When she spoke, there wasn't a single sign in her voice that she was crying. If there weren't tears rolling down where she sat, it would seem like she wasn't crying. "I.. I just..." At first, it was difficult for her to explain. "Deo. He left me. He thought I was in love with the vampire elder and I'm not... Then I got attached to another being. Who later killed himself... And now I thought this time would be diffrent... But I was wrong. He told me he would come right back..."

Takiko looked up when he offered to stay with her. It was the nicest thing anyone had offered to her in a long time. It was now clear how much she was crying. Her cheeks were dripping with moisture. "Are you sure? You know, I'm not the same old Takiko I was before... I'm not even a demon anymore..." The last sentence was only a mutter. She was not sure if he knew or not. It was why the entire demonic race hated her.

It took a while for Takiko to answer. "Physically, I am fine. Emotionally and mentally I will never be the same... For better or worse, I am not quite sure." When she looked back at him again, it was clearer how diffrent she was. Before her eyes were a pale blue when she was a demon, now as a vampire, her eyes remained a dark crimson. Her usual tan skin was now white from lack of sun. It was even more amazing what kind of vampire she was.

It would definatly help her. She had not slept at all since John left her. "A drink sounds nice." Even though it had been a long time since she had any blood or any sort of food or sleep at all, it had been even longer since she had a drink. All she needed to do is relax. And he could probably help her.

Takiko did not know who to trust. Though her cold heart told her she could trust him. That it would be safe to follow. If she ran into a trap, someone was going to die in the most horrible way.

Ghorkel woke up, blinking... he yawned, sitting up, then coughing uncontrollably, his hood falling. He was in his 'hidey-hole'... a wreaked, mangled car that was only big enough for someone of his size to fit within... about waist-height, like a child. When he was finished coughing, he swore softly, "Damnit, I thought demons couldn't get sick... figures, hanging around garbage all day there are diseases even for me..."

He began to get up, greeting wit ha squeak and a twittering of a rat. He smiled down at it, his mangled, burnt and twisted face crackling with the effort, "Hello there, friend." He reached forward, patting the rat on the head... he held out his hand, letting the rat eat the dead flesh that was on it... he sighed... he had lived beyond notice in the city for some time, getting money and other items... lycans, vampires... so many odd creatures...

...And him, alone. He put on his hood, getting out of the car and climbing on top of it, his hooves clopping slightly as he climbed on top of it... He looked upwards at the sky with longing, the rat resting on his shoulder. "Friend, have you ever flown before...? Like an angel...?" His head tilted to the side. "I wonder what it's like... not that we'll get the chance. Still, though..."

"Yeah yeah, Aislann, we know this is your favorite spot to be, so show yourself, cuz me and Dessik gotta talk to you," he yelled out, hearing clear cut echos.
