Welcome to Gaia! ::

Justin's eyes slowly opened again. He could feel her body against his, her head resting on his chest. He wanted to resist further, not make her go through the pain. But her words made Justin's mind a bit more clear of those thoughts. He stared at her, still heavily and quickly breathing. Slowly, he used the strength he still had in him to make the couple sit upright. He brought his mouth to her neck. He then quickly sunk his fangs into the flesh. His eyes closed as he began to drink the precious liquid. It's...really sweet...much better...than ours... But then, a tear fell down his face. I'm hurting the one...who just told me...that she loved me... However, his strength was returning to him and soon he would be able to travel back to his kingdom. But the prince had lost a lot of blood since he last drank, so he had no idea how much the princess would have to lose for him...

Justin continued gulping the blood down his throat. It warmed him in a kind of way, and his body was feeling refreshed. His mind calmed and cleared of thoughts. All he needed was her blood. After a few more moments, his heartbeat slowed down and his chest stopped pounding. The prince removed his fangs from Alaina's neck and he sat upright. Head turned away from the princess, he licked the remaining blood from his fangs. She probably wouldn't want to see that. He then removed a glove from his hand, covered the spot where his fangs had gone in, and applied pressure. He then grabbed Alaina's hand and had her hold the glove in place. "Keep it there for right now," he told her with a gentle voice. "When we get back to the kingdom, I'll give you some bandages." I need to put on some new ones too. He looked around and found his top hat. He quickly put it on and then put the hood of the cloak back on Alaina. He then stood and reached his hand out to her. "Ready to go?" he asked with a smile.

Justin smiled and lifted Alaina in his arms again. "Just hold on." He went to the nearest shadow by them and began their travels to the vampire castle. The prince kept an eye on the princess during this trip, in case she fainted from the blood loss or something. He tried to find the right shadows to take them home. The time of day had changed and so had the shadows. Eventually, they made it back to the vampire kingdom and into Justin's room. Without uttering a word, he gently made Alaina sit upright on his black bed. He then went to a cabinet and pulled out some cloth bandages. He walked to the princess, removed his glove from her neck, and treated to her wound. He wrapped her neck and didn't speak. I don't think she would want to think about it. At that moment, he remembered his own wounds. I guess I better look at these too. He removed his trench coat, then his shirt, and examined the damage. There were still bruises and cuts from last night, plus the stab on his arm. He quickly started to apply the bandages to his arm.

Justin had finished wrapping his arm. He examined his cuts and figured that they would heal on their own. He heard Alaina sigh and looked over at her. She was swinging her legs with her head down to the floor. He walked over to her and stood above her. "Bored already?" he teasingly asked with a smile. "Don't worry. You have plans for tonight, remember?" He walked to the window and stared out towards the vampire village. He let the cool wind brush against his bare chest. It's great to be back here. He gazed up at the sky to see that the sun was lower in the sky than before. I wonder what time it is. I hope that night will come soon. He merely stood at the window, enjoying the scenery around him that so contrasted the human's environment.

Justin felt Alaina's head on his shoulder. He looked over at her and smiled. "Yeah, all that's really different are the people and atmosphere," he replied. He gazed up to the sky again. The sun appeared to be slowly setting. There's still a bit of time left before tonight. I'm becoming restless. He smiled to himself as he continued to look towards the village. Not that many people were moving at that time. Vampires can move around during the day, but most prefer to move around at night though. That's when the Violinist of the Dark Mist comes around. The princess was still resting by his side. "Do you need some sleep?" he asked her. "You did lose a lot of blood just a few minutes ago. Maybe you shouldn't be moving around all that much right now."

Justin had noticed Alaina's clumsiness and helped her stay upright. He looked concerned for a moment, but then smiled at her. "Careful now," he told her. "We don't want any injuries." He still was a bit worried for the princess. I wonder if I took a little too much blood. It has been a while since I drank from an actual being... He supported Alaina and guided her to his bed. He gently made her lay down on the bed, making sure that she was comfortable. He took his shirt and put it back on his chest, covering his wounds. Then he grabbed his trench coat and made his way to the closet. He tried to open the doors, but they were locked. Quickly Justin rummaged through his pockets and found his skeleton key. Good, I didn't lose it. He unlocked the door, opened the closet, and placed the coat inside. He noticed his assortment of weapons on the back wall. The prince reached in and grabbed a shuriken. After gazing at it for a moment, he placed it back inside. He then closed the closet and walked towards the window yet again.
