"Thankyou, Really" Lucas mumbled as Danni returned from speaking to her father. Moving slightly he winced as a large cut on his back rubbed against his shirt. Swallowing a lump down into his throat he spoke clearer this time "would it be allright if i got cleaned up, i dont really want these cuts to get infected. So i'll probably need your help again" Sitting up he grimaced in pain, Rolling up his shirt partly up his torso reavealing a gash running vertically for about two inches. close to the gash was a large bruise ranging in deep colours.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 4:49 am

Danni tensed as Lucas uncovered a deep gash and a series of bruises. The smell of his blood hit her, as it had back at his house, square in the face, and she visibly recoiled. She'd been able to deal with it before, but apparently moving him from his cupboard to her living room had pulled at something, because the gash was shining with fresh blood. She battled with the temptation to lose control, and if she hadn't mumbled something about needing bandages and all but ran from the room, she would have lost.

Bolting into the kitchen and slamming the door behind her, she clutched at the nearest work surface, grateful for the sudden exposure to clean, clear air. As soon as she'd managed to quell the frenzied urge to slaughter the boy in the living room, she noticed that her dad was still shouting about having a human in the house. She had to admit that she was starting to see flaws in her plan, but she wasn't about to be proven wrong so early. Pushing open the door on the other side of the kitchen that led to a small bathroom, she got what first aid stuff she needed out of the cupboard above the sink and went back through into the living room - holding her breath.

***

The next week passed with ease. Danni's father had eventually calmed down enough to warn the rest of the family that a human was going to be staying with them for the unforeseeable future, and so far everyone had acted with extreme care. Even her brother had managed to restrain himself, although he did spend most of his time in his bedroom. They had staggered their hunting trips so that one person left each night, they made sure that they kept out of Lucas' way as much as possible without arousing suspicion, and they even managed to remember that, every few hours or so, humans need to eat. So far, all their precautions seemed to be paying off, and Lucas remained oblivious.

Danni came down the stairs one morning and pulled open a cupboard in the kitchen, contemplating its content of carefully half-eaten cereals with disgust. She wasn't in the mood for eating that tasteless crap today. Lucas wasn't awake yet, so maybe she could just skip breakfast this morning... She closed the cupboard.

Her dad walked in, towel-drying his hair, and gave her a disapproving look. "He'll be down soon," he told her.
She sighed. Her father had always been able to read her. "Humans skip breakfast all the time," she answered him curtly.
Her dad merely shrugged, and fixed himself a bowl of Shreddies. "Sure. Just be careful. We can't have him finding out what we are."
"I know that."

She followed him to the table and sat down, pulling the morning's newspaper toward her and reading the headline with mild interest. After a while, her father broke the silence. "I don't think you do. If you realised the dangers of him finding out, he wouldn't even be here."
The paper was thrown across the table, where it fell off landed on a chair. They'd been through this a hundred times already, and she hated repeating herself. "I couldn't just leave him there, Dad. He would've ended up dead."
"It was none of your concern," her father snapped, apparently forgetting the oh-so-important charade as his spoon clattered noisily into his bowl. "He's only a human, what does it matter if one of them dies? You've seen stuff like that before - we all have - and you walked away. What's so important about this one?"
Danni stood up so abruptly that the table moved a few inches away from her. "He's important!" she shouted.

The look her father gave her jolted her back to reality, and she closed her eyes in defeat. She should probably apologise, she realised, but she was still far too angry to say anything that wasn't an insult. Waving her hand dismissively, she turned and left the kitchen - and walked straight into Lucas.

Lucas grunted slightly as Danni crashed into him, he smiled lightly "Hey, sorry 'bout that i should look where im going really" he said. Scanning her face Lucas cocked his head to the side she looked a bit upset. "Are you okay? i heard arguing just. I hope im not becomming a burden on your family, but i can't thank you enough for what you've done for me" He added.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:33 am

Danni sighed, a sad smile on her face, as Lucas proved himself to be a lot more perceptive than she'd given him credit for. She shook her head. "No, Lucas, you're not a burden at all. I chose to have you here and they're gonna have to live with it. They know they don't have much choice." Her eyes searched his. She was going to have to tell him, she realised. He'd probably already worked out that there was something strange about them - and even if he hadn't, she didn't want him thinking her family hated him for no reason. "...But we do need to talk."

She glanced behind her at the closed kitchen door; her father could be heard slamming cupboard doors and cursing in his anger - she'd have to apologise at some point if she didn't want the house to be destroyed, but not now. She turned back to Lucas and impulsively took his hand. Looking down at their entwined fingers, she smiled softly; she liked the feel of his hand in hers, it felt like the most natural thing in the world. But it couldn't be.

Shaking her head to clear it, she led him into the living room and pulled him down to sit next to her on the sofa. "Listen..." But where to begin? How did she say this? She'd never had to before, she had no idea how he was going to react. But she had to try, at the very least he deserved that. "Lucas, you're not a burden, don't ever think that. But you shouldn't be here, and my dad does think its going to start causing problems, for you as well as us. I don't know how much you overheard in there, but we're not exactly normal." She closed her eyes, waiting for him to either laugh or run from the house screaming. "We're... How can I put this? Well, we're vampires." She watched him carefully, trying to gauge his reaction. If he responded badly to this news, she knew that her father and brother would most likely tear him to pieces - literally - and she couldn't let that happen.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 12:08 pm

Lucas allowed Danni to lead him into the living room. He listened carefully as she explained to him that he wasnt a burden at all. But it was the last thing that she said that made Lucas lean forward slightly. "W-What, your a vampire..but they dont exsist. Anyway your way to attractive to be a vampire." Lucas said but quickly closed his mouth, turning his head away he could feel his face tingling with heat. "I didn't mean that, no, i mean i did but..." Lucas said quickly looking down at the floor in pure embaresment. Looking back up at Danni he smiled lightly "your really vampires?" He asked queitly.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 12:44 pm

Danni bit her lip to hide a smile, watching Lucas fall over himself as he tried to deal with what she'd told him. "We're really vampires," she said softly, her eyes searching his face. He appeared to be taking it quite well - he looked... Embarrassed, rather than frightened. But all in all, she was glad that he seemed to believe her. She wouldn't have liked to have to prove it to him - then he really would be frightened of her, and that was the last thing she wanted.

She moved closer to him, cautiously taking his hands in hers. "Look," she murmured, looking down at their hands, as if afraid of what she might find in his eyes should she meet his gaze. "I told you because I felt that you deserved to know. We're not a very nice bunch - vampires as a whole - but my family are better than most of them. My brother's not very used to controlling himself around people, but the rest of us are okay." Her gaze flickered to his. "I would never hurt you, you know that right?"

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 1:24 pm

Lucas nodded slowly "yeah" he mumbled. Looking at her his sighed quietly to himself. Watching as her head dropped slightly. Untwining one of his hands from hers he lifted her chin and leaned forward slowly. Pressing his lips againsts hers softly. Not really knowing how she would react. He really didn't know why he was kissing her but it did feel right.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:47 pm

Danni gasped but didn't complain as Lucas' lips met hers, and her arms wound around his neck as she returned the kiss. A few days ago, she would never have allowed this to happen - it was far too dangerous for both of them - but now that he knew what she was, and seemed to have accepted it, was there really any harm? It was, after all, what she wanted. Her mouth left his and she began to send soft kisses along his jaw line and neck. His neck... The sound of the blood rushing through his veins was dizzying, and an insatiable hunger enveloped her. Her lips parted and she sank her teeth into his flesh, relishing the metallic taste of his blood on her tongue.

"No!" she cried, pushing herself away from Lucas with surprising speed and ending up on the other side of the room. Her hand was covering her mouth; her face was a mask of horror. "Lucas, I--" But what could she say? What words were there to make this better? She'd promised him she wouldn't hurt him. There was, it appeared, a lot of harm in allowing that to happen. He may have known what she was, but that didn't make it any less of a lion-lamb situation. "Lucas, I'm so sorry," she eventually managed to choke. "I don't-- No. I can't." The smell of his blood was making her lightheaded; she had to leave. She was through the living room door in a flash and bolted up the stairs.

Slamming her bedroom door behind her, she sank to the floor with her back to it and buried her face in her arms. What had she done? More to the point, why had she expected anything different to happen? She hadn't wanted Lucas to be afraid of her, she'd wanted him to see her for who she was, not what she was - but she'd just thrown all that, and everything else they could have potentially been, out of the window. "God," she moaned, leaning her head back against the wood of the door. He'd probably leave now, which meant that he'd be completely defenceless when his father eventually caught up with him - and it was all her fault.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 5:29 pm

Lucas groaned slightly as Danni bit into his neck. But she pulled away quickly and ran out of the room, reaching up to is neck he felt a small bite mark. I didnt really hurt it sort of felt numb. He stood up slowly but was meet by Danni's father his arms folded, clearly not happy.
" I think you should be leaving Lucas, its not safe for you to be here" Danni's father spoke slowly.
"B-but its not safe for me to be at home either, w-where am i supposed to go?"
"I'm sure you'll figure it out, your a smart boy"
"But i have no where to go!" Lucas said clearly getting upset.
"You dont understand, i CANT go home. He will kill me!"
"Rather him than one of us"

Lucas stammered for a while before walking around Danni's father and out of the front door. Walking down the street slolwly he sighed heavily not really caring wher he was going.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Mon Jul 20, 2009 7:28 pm

The sound of the front door closing brought Danni back to her senses, and she looked up. Who had left? She glanced at the clock, confirming her assumption that it was far too early for her mother to be taking her turn to hunt. There was no other reason for anyone to be going out, unless... She stood up abruptly, left her bedroom and ran down the stairs to find her father standing in the middle of the living room, looking extremely satisfied.

"What did you do?!" she demanded.
"What I should have done when you first brought him here," her father replied coolly.
"You kicked him out? No! Why?"
"Yes, I sent him home. He was becoming a liability, Danni."
"Dad!"
"You told him what we are, and then you attacked him - after kissing him. You're lucky he's still alive."
"You might as well have killed him, Dad!" she shouted. "His father will do worse than that when he gets his hands on him! He's got nowhere else to go - even if he doesn't go home, his dad will find him eventually."
"His father would have found him here, you know that."
"But we would have been able to protect him!" she insisted.
"But we wouldn't have," he snapped, irritated. "We've got no business protecting humans."
"He's not just a human, Dad!"
"What is he then? Your human?"
"No, of course not. Don't be ridiculous. He's... My friend." It occured to her that he might not even be that now, but she continued anyway. "And I want to help him, okay?"
"Why?"
"His dad quite happily beats him to within an inch of his life every day. Excuse me for having a heart."
Her father had seen her beginning to edge toward the door. "Danni..." he said in a warning tone.
"No. I'm going after him, Dad, and I'm bringing him back here, and he's not going anywhere." Without waiting for a response she left the living room, slamming the door behind her, and then there was a brief pause before the even louder slam of the front door.

Despite the length of the argument she'd just had with her father, Lucas had hardly reached the end of her road by the time Danni raced out onto the street. "Lucas!" she yelled, hastening after him at what she hoped was at least close to a human pace. He had already stopped walking and turned to face her, but as she reached him she grabbed onto his shoulders all the same. "Lucas, you're not going anywhere," she told him firmly. "I don't care what my dad said, I'm not letting him kick you out." A sudden thought occurred to her, and she released his shoulders. "That is, unless you want to go. After what just happened, I wouldn't exactly blame you." She smiled sheepishly. "Listen, if you don't want to be around us anymore then I won't make you stay, but I think we'll both agree that you can't go home. I'll find you somewhere else to go if you want. Somewhere... Human."

Danni sighed and looked at her feet, feeling embarrassed. "I don't want anything to happen to you, Lucas. Despite what I've just done--" she glanced involuntarily toward the bite on his neck, which appeared to be healing. "--I do care about you. I'm really sorry that I messed everything up." Still refusing to meet Lucas' gaze, she half turned to walk away, but hesitated. "It's up to you, Luc, but there's still a room waiting for you if you want it."

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:23 am

Lucas turned around as he heard his name being called. When Danni held him by the shoulders, explaining to him that he had to stay. Which was true, Lucas couldn't go home he'd be dead by the end of the night. Watching her as she turned away saying that it was up to him what he did.

When she turned away Lucas grabbed her hand pulling her to him, plating a kiss on her lips.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Tue Jul 21, 2009 5:24 pm

Danni breathed a sigh of relief with the rest of the school as the bell ending last lesson sounded. Had she been forced to sit through another minute of History, she felt she would have killed someone. Gathering her books up as quickly as she could, she forced her way through the crowds filling the halls to meet Lucas outside his Maths class. It wasn't that she was being the possessive girlfriend; on the contrary, they'd hardly said two words about the kisses they'd shared in the three days since they'd shared them. No, it was mere circumstance that made it necessary for the pair to be together at the end of every day, because they knew that if the one day his father took it upon himself to get his son back was the one day that either of them were a little late leaving the school, Lucas was as good as dead.

"Hey," she smiled, pulling her bag into a more comfortable position on her shoulder as Lucas walked out of the classroom she'd been stood outside since about thirty seconds after the bell had rang. Despite the desperate desire to, she didn't slip her hand into his as they made their way toward the main entrance, but perhaps it would have been in his better interest if she had.

They left the school and had just turned onto the street that would lead to Danni's when a black car that she didn't recognise sped down the road, pulled into a sharp u-turn and stopped a little way down the street, blocking their way. She might not have recognised the car, but she recognised the driver, and she blanched. "Lucas..." she murmured, but the warning was drowned out as another car drove past in the next street, blasting music from its stereo. At last, Danni's fingers found his and she held onto him tightly, trying to pull him the opposite way down the road, but by then it was too late. Lucas' father had stepped out of the car.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:46 am

The colour drained from Lucas's face as he came face to face with his father. His eyes cold and dark "Get in the car" he said through his teeth. Lucas shook his head quickly "no.n-not anymore" he mumbled quielty but was grabbed by a handfull of hair and dragged to the car. Lucas's father stopped mid step and looked back to Danni "you too.Get in" He jerked his head towards the car.

- A few minutes later,Lucas's house -

Lucas was tied to a chair sobbing lightly, his father was across the room handcuffing Danni to a water pipe. He watched as his father walked toawrds him, Looking away his body visibly tensed knowing what wwas going to happen. The first blow was struck a sharp slap to the face the a hard thump to the side of the head causing Lucas to emmit a groan of pain. His head was pulled back sharply as his father beant down next to his ear. "I'm dissapointed in you Lucas, running out of the house without my permission. Dissapearing for a week now your going to get what you deserve. But i think i'll take my time. One thing ive always hated is those snakebites of yours, i think its about time we took them out since you wont be needing them anymore" Pushing his head forward he walked around in front of Lucas. Grabbing a pair of pliers he pinned Lucas's neck down with his forearm he placed the pliers on Lucas's piercings "No, dad please. don't" Lucas sobbed trying to pull his head away. But his father held it in place, apllying pressure to the pliers Lucas's father sharply yanked out Lucas's piercing like it was a piece of string.

Lucas cried out in pain as blood dribbled down his chin. His father stood up putting the bloodied plier sin his back pocket for further use later. Slapping Lucas hard sent the chair he was on crashing to the floor. "After everything i've done for you Lucas. This is how you repay me. Ive feed you, clothed you. Looked after you" Lucas's father hissed kicking him in the ribs and stomach repeatedly. "your worthless, pathetic, a horrible excuse for a son. Of course it was different when your mother was here, but it was your fault that she left" he added.

Walking over to a large bottle of wisky he drank half the quantity of the bronze colour drink. Pulling Lucas's up he drew a small pocket knife. Showing it to Lucas before cutting the ropes that bound him to the chair. Pushing Lucas to the ground he coninued to kick him incredibly hard.

Smirking to himself he left Luca's on the floor in a slowly forming pooling of blood mainly form his head and stomach. Sitting down with the bottle of whisky he downed the rest of the liquid he left the room in search for another bottle.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:23 pm

((Just cause I love ya))

Although they didn't seem it, the handcuffs that Lucas' father used to chain Danni to the water pipe were tough, and it took her a good while to break through them. By the time the metal finally gave way, Lucas was in a heap on the floor and his father had left the room, probably to find another bottle of whisky. She raced across the room and dropped to her knees beside his head, holding her breath while she checked the extent of his wounds and felt for a pulse. She found one, but it was faint.

Cursing under her breath, Danni straightened up and hesitated, wondering what the best way to get him out of there was. If he'd been even semi conscious, it would have been much easier - and quicker - to leave the house, but in this state, bringing him round seemed unlikely. She'd need time if she wanted to get him out - time that she didn't have.

She'd just decided on going to find Lucas' father and knocking him out like she had last time when the door opened. "How did you get loose?" he growled, staggering slightly as he advanced on her.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Danni muttered distractedly.
"You'll both pay dearly for this." But she wasn't listening; her eyes were flickering around the room, trying to find something she could use as a weapon. But there was nothing - apparently Lucas' father had spent a lot of time preparing for their arrival, and had removed all sharp and heavy objects from the room. Oh well, she'd have to use her hands.

Danni struck out at the approaching Mr. Anderson, and punched him square in the face. There was a crunch as his nose broke, spraying blood everywhere, and this time she allowed herself to inhale. Even tainted as it was with alcohol, the smell of his blood gave her a rush of excitement; a taste for the hunt. A few more hits and she had him backed against the wall, an easy target. Trying to ignore the frenzied hunger that only built with every breath she took, she drew her fist back to land the punch that would incapacitate Lucas' father for a good few hours, when--

A movement so fast, even Danni had a hard time following it. A flash of silver. A scream of agony. Danni staggered backwards, looking down in horror at the pair of pliers that appeared to be embedded in her side. She fell to the floor, and for a good thirty seconds she was the one who was incapacitated. Lucas' father laughed maliciously as he approached her, apparently moving in for the kill. She tried to get out of his way, but it was too late; his hand gripped the handles of the pliers and gave them a sharp twist before pulling them out of her side. Danni screamed again, louder this time. He raised them above his head, and if she'd been mortal the cruel sneer on his face would have been the last thing she ever saw - but she wasn't. She lunged, grabbing his wrist, and forced the pliers downwards, where they drove themselves deep into his neck. There was a look of shock, then confusion, pain, and finally defeat on his face as he keeled over. The threat was gone, and Danni allowed herself to collapse onto the floor again while she caught her breath. She didn't bother to check if he was dead - if he wasn't already, he would be soon.

Eventually, she was able to crawl to Lucas' side. He was still unconscious, but he was still alive. She waited a few more minutes while she regained some of her strength before literally dragging him out of the house. Once safely outside, she leaned him against a wall, pulled her phone out of her pocket and dialled her home number. Her father would have to help Lucas now, whether he liked it or not.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Fri Jul 24, 2009 2:39 pm

Lucas coughed roughly as his eyes opened slowly. Blinking a few times seemed to clear his focus and vision. Sitting up slowly he looked around finnaly realising that he was back at Danni's house. His eyes feel on Danni who was asleep on a chair next to him. Clearly her father had told her that Lucas was her responsibility whatever happened or perhaps she just felt she had to look out for him.

Leaning to his side slightly, he pressed his lips against Danni's softly.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Sat Jul 25, 2009 5:12 pm

Danni felt something brush against her lips and flinched, moaning in sleepy protest. A few moments later and her eyes opened slowly, blinking confusedly as she tried to make sense of what had woken her. She was looking into a pair of clear blue eyes. "Lucas." She hadn't meant to speak, and she started at the sound of her own surprised voice being used without her conscious permission, but eventually a wide smile lit her face as the fact that the boy she'd been so worried about for the last few days was finally awake registered.

"Hey." She leaned into him, the smile on her lips gentler now, to return the kiss softly, and then withdrew to uncurl her legs from under her and relax into the chair she'd apparently fallen asleep in with a sigh. "You had me really scared there. I thought he'd killed you." A thought occurred to her, and she added; "How're you feeling? Do I need to call my dad?"

Dad. Danni mentally groaned. How was she going to tell him about his dad? Her father and brother had been to the house in the past few days and had made it look like an accident, but Lucas would know better, and in any case he deserved to know the truth. But she didn't want to tell him, she didn't want to see the look on his face when he realised that she had been the one to kill his father. She sighed again, and looked down.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Sun Jul 26, 2009 1:40 pm

Lucas nodded " I'm feeling better, still a bit painfull in some places but ill be allright" he spoke softly as his throat was still sore. He couldn't remeber much of what happened becuase he had phased it out, it was something he did to try and block out the pain. Sometimes it worked other days it didn't help at all and the pain was worse than ever. Pushing himself up on the bed he leaned back lightly. Watching Danni carefully he noticed her gaze drop slightly. "Is something wrong?" He asked turning slightly concern in his voice.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Mon Jul 27, 2009 1:27 pm

((Peace Offering?))

Danni looked up at Lucas' last words, and couldn't help the wry smile that came to her lips. She was about to tell him that she'd killed his father, and he was asking her if something was wrong. The smile didn't last for long, and after a moment she nodded. Taking a deep breath, she moved slightly on the chair so that she could hold his gaze evenly, and opened her mouth to speak. But no words came out; how was she supposed to say this? She closed her mouth again, and dropped her head into her hands.

After a minute or two of thought she looked up again. "Look, Lucas, there's something I need to tell you, and you're not going to like it." She dropped his gaze momentarily while she warred with herself, and then tried again. She hadn't noticed her own father step into the room. "It's your dad..." But that was as far as she got. She couldn't bring herself to tell him; she didn't want to see the look of contempt on his face. The conflict within was showing plainly in her eyes, and before long she looked away. She knew she had to tell him, but she didn't have the words that would lessen the pain - she didn't even know if such words existed.

"He's dead," said a curt voice behind her. "She killed him."
Danni's head whipped around to see her father looking at her scornfully from the doorway. As much as she wanted to reprimand him for blurting it out so insensitively, she was secretly grateful; she doubted she would have been able to say it herself. She turned round slowly and her gaze flickered to Lucas', watching him carefully, apprehending his reaction.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Tue Jul 28, 2009 3:06 pm

Lucas's heart sank slighty and his gaze dropped down to the floor. Sighing deeply he didn't know how to feel, his father was ded but he was his father after all. Shaking his head slightly his eyes flickered over to Danni. He really didn't know what to do sitting up straighter possistion his looked over at Danni's father he rubbed his hands up his arms as a form of distraction.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:35 pm

((Cheap, Tacky Cow ^^))

Danni watched as Lucas lowered his gaze, and could almost see his heart drop; if he'd been watching, she was certain he would've seen hers drop too. It wasn't like she'd been expecting him to thank her, but she hated looking into his eyes and finding little but conflict there. What had she done? She'd thought she'd had no choice, but what if there had been another option, one she hadn't seen? Had she made the right decision? She knew that it was way too late to be asking herself these questions, but she also knew that the look on his face was making her feel like crap.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, and then flinched. Her tongue had acted of its own accord, and she felt everyone in the room tense. Why had she said that? Had she expected it to help? She doubted anything would help now. After a minute that felt like an hour, she decided that she couldn't take the look on his face. Pushing herself out of her chair, she ran from the room without a second glance at Lucas or her father.

*

Richard Harper stood aside to let his daughter bolt through the door at anything but a human pace. He sighed softly to himself; even with the knowledge that the teenager in the bed across from him knew fully well what he and his family were, exposure was still his number one concern. But he forced this to the back of his mind and attempted to address the matter at hand.

He cleared his throat. "Well," he began, his tone as light as he could manage, striding casually toward Lucas with his hands clasped loosely behind his back. "I think we can both agree that that was a close call." He met the boy's gaze and held it. Despite his cool manner, Richard had no idea how to word what so desperately needed saying. "She never left your side, you know," he offered, not showing how awkward saying those few words made him feel for a second. "I'm, ah, terribly sorry for your loss. I can assure you that she feels extremely guilty about it, but she could see no other option at the time."

He made to move to sit in the chair Danni had just vacated, but seemed to think better of it, and instead crossed the room to stand with his back to the window. He took a deep breath, carefully ignoring the smell of dried blood, and continued. "I'm sure you'll want justice for your father, but I'm afraid you will be unsuccessful by going through the law. When my daughter brought you back here, her brother and I visited your house - after I'd made sure you weren't going to die, of course. I won't go into detail, but it will be very difficult to prove your father was murdered."

Richard cleared his throat again. He had barely touched on the subject he had come here to cover, and he was running out of time; he wanted to cover the same subject with Danni before she decided to try and talk to her human again. Although the most basic of logic told Richard that all feelings Lucas might have for his daughter should have been erased as soon as he had informed him that she had killed his father, he wasn't going to take any chances. Humans, he knew, could forgive the most horrendous crimes.

"You know what we are, Lucas, and although we're very unlike most of our kind, I think that recent events have shown you that just because we try to keep humans out of our diet, we aren't what you'd call 'safe'." Richard's gaze fell on the dressing attached to Lucas' neck, hiding the bite Danni had given him. "Now, it has come to my attention that you have been developing feelings for my daughter, and she for you, and I think that it is within both of your interests for me to put a stop to that right now." His eyes darkened somewhat as his features rearranged themselves to give the boy a challenging look. "She isn't for you," he said firmly. "She's a vampire. She'd only end up killing you, too."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a new opportunity that probably should have presented itself earlier came to light. He tried a different approach, moving away from the window to pace in front of Lucas' bed. "But of course, how ridiculous of me. She did just kill your father. Why would you want anything to do with her? I suppose you could argue that she did it to save you, but who knows what else she's capable of? And can you really be certain that there were no other options that could have kept the both of you alive?"

He bit his lip to stop it stretching into a satisfied smile as he watched his words sink in. He knew that he was jumping from one subject to another and probably not making much sense, but this was the closest Richard had ever come to desperate, and he would be the first to accept that he wasn't handling it very well.

"As insensitive as this may sound, Lucas, your father is dead now, and the threat has been removed, so you have no need for our protection and therefore no reason to stay here. I suggest that as soon as you're feeling better, you make arrangements to leave." There was a brief pause, before he continued. "I'll be having this conversation with Danni, and I think you'll find she'll agree with me. She knows that vampires and humans aren't meant to mix."
