Luna was oblivious to what the vampire behind her was thinking. Of course, it wasn't like she read minds. Then she stopped and turned around, not from some weird empathy sense, not to see if Casper was following her. Actually it had nothing to do with Casper, she had very nearly forgotten to hide the body, or at least mutilate it a little more to insure it looked like an animal attack.
Not that anyone other than a Hunter would know anything different.. She jogged back to the corpse and slung him easily over her shoulder, then deposited him in the bushes quiet roughly, although she wouldn't inflict any more wounds on him. He was already dead and forensics could figure out which wounds were inflicted when. It wasn't as if they would examine the homeless guy though.
"Alright, now we can go." she said, nodding her head and finally looking at the shocked and guilty Casper. Her face was filled with concern for her self appointed charge, "What is it Casper?" she asked gently.

This was just so terrible. Casper didn't even know what to do with himself anymore. Oh and now she was disposing of the body! He had ******** up for sure this time. He felt like a monster, was a monster, no, he was worse than one. He was such, such a disappointment, to everyone right now. He had killed someone, stolen their blood! It wasn't even like eating a hamburger, or hitting up the Colonel at KFC...because he hadn't eaten an animal, he had killed a person. A living breathing person was dead because of him! The person he was supposed to protect, was dead because of him. The person he was supposed to protect was swirling in his belly and running through his veins.
He felt like a stranger in his own body! Thank God he didn't have a reflection because Casper couldn't stand to be in his body let a lone try and look at himself!
What was he supposed to do? He had to punish himself somehow. He couldn't go on like this without some sort of repercussions. A human life was nothing to ******** around with!
Homeless, family-less, job-less or whatever, that man's life was still important and still worth something.
Casper grit his teeth, fangs popping out instinctually before he sent them back in.
Wait, there was a way he could pay for his crime...but he had to play it cool for now.
When Luna asked him her question, Casper simply looked up and said evenly, "I think I'm understanding this whole vampire thing now."
He then started back to the house.

Luna watched as his fangs slid into view, then retracted.
Obviously there was something wrong, but she didn't know what, and she didn't want to intrude. The poor girl really was too nice for her own good. She opened her mouth, then closed it slowly. She didn't know what to do to comfort him, clearly he loathed being a vampire, not even she had hated the fact she was a vampire. She had hated the man that had turned her, but not for turning her.
He began walking back to the house and she sighed, now she would sleep horrible and be up all night worrying about him. How did she get into these messes? Once again, she was too nice for her own good, she bought girl scout cookies even though she couldn't eat them, then gave them out for free at her ice cream shop for crying out loud!! The whole hating life thing just didn't register in her brain any more. She sighed and followed him.

Well, Casper most certainly had a plan. He managed to get back in her condo quickly, thanks to vampire speed of course, and walked to his new room. He opened the door but before stepping in turned around to say something.
"I'm just going to go to sleep...I'm exhausted...and, well this has been a big day."

Luna nodded, having kept up with him on the way back to her house. She walked past him up to the stairway up to her room. "I'm sorry you have to go through this Casper." she said softly, trying to express that she understood. She stood at the bottom of the steps for a moment and then trudged up the stairs to her room, closing the bedroom door softly behind her.

"Don't worry, it's not like it's your fault." With that he shut the door behind him.
The reality of it all was this: Casper had lied. He wasn't going to bed and he didn't plan to go to sleep ever again. No, he had a much darker agenda planned.
In every religion it was a sin, but Casper didn't care. He had analyzed the situation and come to the conclusion there was but one great solution.
Casper was going to commit suicide. He was going to do it right now too.
Quickly he went into the bathroom and started washing the blood off his hands. He didn't want to be dead with some poor man's blood all over him. He couldn't see the blood on his face, but he figured it was there and washed that off too. Finally clean, but only physically, Casper moved back into his bedroom area.
He wanted to take pills and overdose, but that was probably impossible at the moment; vampires weren't affected by human medications after all. Slitting his wrists would have been nice...but now that he had fed the cuts would close up right away and be worth s**t.
Casper thought back on how he had always killed vampires. Beheading himself would be wayyyy too hard to do. In fact Casper didn't even know how to attempt a self beheading unless a guillotine was present.
So how?
Oh, it was so obvious now. He just stab himself right in the head. His suicide weapon would just rip through his brain and it'd be all over. He could rid the world of one more evil.
Make the world a better place.
But what to use what to use? His eyes, now back to their original blue, darted around the room. He now had super strength so he didn't rule out breaking apart furniture.
Finally Casper had figured it out. The frame of the bed seemed to be made of some sort of casted iron so he took one bar of it between two hands, and snapped off a 1 and a half foot piece.
The bed hit the floor with a loud, thundering crash. He jerked at the noise but overall nothing broke his resolve.
Casper gripped the iron bar so tightly it started to dent where his fingers were. He got on his knees and leaned over the now lopsided bed. Casper raised the pointed iron above his skull and shut his eyes.
This was harder than he thought it would be. He knew he wanted to kill himself, he just, was having a hard time letting go of life. Memories flittered across his consciousness and before he knew it, Casper found himself shaking. He was shaking from the inside out. He felt scared, genuinely scared...but at the same time, he wanted to end it all. He was so guilty, felt so evil and ashamed. The world would be so much better off without him. So many people would get to live with him dead and dead for good...but then, why was he crying?
He wasn't...bawling, or even hiccuping. The tears were just, running down his face now. Silent tears, and a silent heart.
Casper turned his head to the side to give himself a softer target. The side of his skull was much thinner, it'd be easier to drive the iron through.
It's be easy now, to do this. His vampire strength would give him more than enough velocity to destroy his brain for good. Why was this so hard then?
No, he had to get this over with. He had to just do this quickly and get it over with.
He was ready, so very ready.
It had only been six seconds from the time he had broken the bed, but already he had made up his mind. He was going to be dead in a minute, probably less.
In fact, he was going to have successfully killed himself in the next three seconds.

Luna had just begun to take her clothes off and change into her pajamas, when she heard the sound of the bed crashing to the floor. Casper didn't strike her as the type to jump on the bed and she sighed, knowing he must be doing something he shouldn't be. She grabbed her robe and, despite not knowing anything, ran to his room. Something just didn't feel right.
She opened the door and saw exactly what had made the crashing sound, as well as what he was doing. "Casper!!" she yelled bolting at him and grabbing the piece of iron raised above his head, jerking it upwards and away from the newborns skull. "What- no!!!" was all she could manage to splutter out, she had about to ask him what he was doing but it was obvious.
Luna had indeed bitten off more than she could chew, but now she couldn't get out of it, her conscious would kill her, knowing that he would find another way to kill himself if he were away from her. Poor poor Luna.
"You don't have to resort to this. There are alternatives to killing Casper." she said, which didn't make much sense as a sentence, but what she had meant was why she thought he had tried to off himself. Obviously his hunter past made him hate himself for killing a human, therefore he could get the sustenance he needed without killing. From those willing humans who wanted to believe that vampires actually existed.

Casper couldn't believe it, yet another one of his plans, was destroyed, literally ripped out of his hands in an instant.
He was sort of surprised. He knew he was supposed to be dead by now, and the fact that he wasn't, was a huge shock.
He looked at Luna, his eyes open and his lips curling. He didn't know what he felt towards her this very moment. He couldn't even tell if he had waned to die, or if he had wanted to sacrifice himself.
Because even though it was the same outcome, they were two very different desires.
She was trying to..help him, he supposed, but Casper had to wonder why she would even care. He wasn't anything anymore. He wasn't promising, he wasn't useful, he wasn't famous among a small group of people or even remotely on the radar. He was so damed creature without even a heartbeat to his name!
And here she was saying he shouldn't go ahead and end his pitiful existence as one of the undead?
Casper herd her voice, and understood what she was trying to say...but there were some things she clearly didn't understand.
"Alternatives? Don't you get it?" He snapped taking a snarl like tone. "Don't you see it?!" He gripped his hair with both hands and thrashed his head around wildly.
Casper stopped all movement in a split second before staring right into Luna's eyes.
"I liked killing him!" The truth was coming out, and it was indeed a disturbing reality. "I liked how he squirmed and how he tried to struggle! I like biting harding and digging deeper! I was so...so drunk on his blood." He quieted. "I loved feeling his chest go silent as the last drop of blood swam past my lips and down my esophagus." What was worse, what Casper was so ashamed of he couldn't even tell Luna, was that the whole experience, had really turned him on. It made him want to go after other people. Even now, even two seconds ago as he prepared to drive an iron rod through his brain, Casper was lusting after blood and itching to kill.
A lot of it was just his first taking to being a vampire. He was a predator now so thinking like one was only natural...but before he had been a vampire, Casper had been a killer. He had killed vampires, every day. Though they weren't really alive, and Casper had never thought of them as such, they were still...human like. There was still that drive to kill, and if Casper had killed so often as a hunter, and so successfully, there had to be apart of him that had sort of liked it, or had been okay with it.
What inevitably had happened, was that just how his physical features were amplified by becoming a vampire....his muscle tone, jaw line, eye color, etc., so had his personality traits. His drive to kill had multiplied dramatically. That combined with vampire traits in general, had produced a dangerous mixture Casper was having a hard time containing...and coping with.
"How could I just not kill someone when I've already got my teeth in them?"

Luna looked at him, his blue eyes boring into her green ones. She understood, knew exactly what he was saying about killing the human. She still remembered what it had been like, the rush she had used to feel when she fed. She shuddered for a moment, something that Casper could have taken as revulsion, but it was really just longing, she hadn't actually killed a human in a very long time. She swallowed and looked at him. "I don't know how to stop Casper, I can show you how to survive without it, but you will always want to kill." she said, knowing it wasn't helpful in the least, but his own description had fogged her rational mind enough for her to not really be able to come up with an alternative.

Well that wasn't encouraging...at all!
"I just, I can't deal with this!" He shouted closing his eyes together so tightly tiny wrinkles appeared in his skin.
"I'm!...I'm dangerous now...to everyone. Hell I'm even dangerous for you." He said opening his eyes again. "What if I kill more people? Because, I already know I will. What if I expose myself and ultimately you? What then?"
This wasn't good, he was working himself into another suicide attempt.
"Maybe I just need to go to sleep."

Luna looked at him sternly "That is a risk I am willing to take." she said calmly and stepped closer to him, wanting to comfort the newborn but not knowing how. She did however know that he needed to be watched, for his own well being. "I'm sorry, I don't trust you to just go to sleep, not after that." she gestured to the ruined bed. "Your coming upstairs with me, it's not as if you could sleep in that mess anyways." she said, her voice all final like, although she still sounded a bit like a dandelion. But she was serious!

Well now he really couldn't try again! He had been secretly thinking about a second attempt anyway....that idea, however, was the one to die.
"Fine." He said standing up grudgingly. This was easily the second worst day of his life! The only thing that was more terrible was that day his family was killed....which understandably was traumatic.
Casper moved to the door and opened it quickly.

Luna blinked, a bit surprised by his lack of protest. But that didn't stop her from following him to the door, then passing him in the hall. She would need to put pajama's on before he could come in though. Because sleeping naked with another person in her bed was not an option, especially because she was the type to cuddle in her sleep, which was why she had a body pillow. She would have to stick that between them, otherwise Casper would wake up with her all snuggled up to him.
She walked up the stairs and paused at the door. "Just give me two seconds." she said with a blush and opened the door, tossing her robe the floor as it shut and grabbing the pair of pajamas on the bed. She actually wore very sensible pajamas considering the body she had. And she didn't even know it really, she had been a looker when she was human, which of course had been amplified as she was turned, and she had never seen her reflection. Made sense, as she pulled on her cotton shorts and tank top and opened the door in the promised two seconds. "Alright." she said and smiled.

The door opened to reveal a pajama clad Luna.
Well that was fast.
Casper moved through the door swiftly with all the finesse of crow atop of a gravestone. He clearly was not a happy camper. Casper was not coping well at all. He just wanted his old life back at this point. He wanted his tiny apartment, and his grandma, and all his hunter friends and troops. He didn't even care about his rise to power anymore, he just wanted his companions and his humanity.
Speaking of which...he'd be pronounced dead in a day or two. It'd be official then. What would happen then? What would become of his troop? Oh his grandmother? Would she be devastated? Of course she would be. This was all so depressing it was unbelievable.
Casper trudged up to the bed and looked longingly at the frame of the bed. Stupid iron bar had failed him.

Luna rolled her eyes and pushed him onto the bed as he eyed the frame. "If you break my bed I will be quiet upset with you." she said in explanation. Luna? Upset? Yeah right. There was no need to turn the light off, it had never been on. She climbed into bed next to Casper and tugged the covers up over her, remembering to put the body pillow between them, then as an after thought she leaned up on her arm and looked at him "Sorry in advance if I use you for a teddy bear... I like to cuddle..." she said, blushing a bit in embarrassment before slipping back down and hugging the pillow next to her lightly, her eyes closing.
