Jhin sat alone on a cliff, perched upon a rock. He had worked harder than usual, saving up his paychecks, so that he could get his guitar fixed. Because of her, he could sing again. He looked up to the moon, closing his eyes, as if he were feeling the suns rays caress his cheeks and skin. His hair blew slightly in the breeze as he strummed his guitar softly, singing his heart out. He felt free, as if he had wings here, looking out over the City. His words spilled out from his lips, deep and full of emotion.
" Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow..."
His eyes were closed, as he moved and almost swayed with his song, so full of passion. His flame had been re-lit.
Song he is Playing:

Celest have just woken up from her sleep. She have just taken refuge in an inn just by the city limits. She had no choice since she got too wild from her last hunt it took her farther from her apartment. Next time, get a hold of yourself, Celest...
She checked out of the inn and proceeded to hunt but then her keen sense of hearing picked up a familiar sound. Feeding her curiosity, she dashed off towards the source of the wonderful music.

Jhin stopped a moment, and changed his tune, playing something more heavy, something that seemed more.. angry in a sence. Lately he had been feeling.. Lost, as if his existance were fading away, as if he were invissible to the world around him. He was filled with sorrow and anger, and needed some way to channel it, so he decided to use his music. And for a moment, tears bgan to fall, as he shut his eyes tightly, his voice loud and angry, hurt, but still.. beautiful, in some way. Jhin was so lost and confused... Why was he here, what was his purpose.. Why did he feel so hopeless?Song: "It's in this wake that I find myself
Losing the will to resume this Hell
When every breath is a dying wish
It's harder to follow the point of thisThis broken place that I call my home
Has deepened the sorrow that I have sown
And I can't erase what is in my heart
I want it to finish before it starts
My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky
I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist
So now I've come to the final sleep
I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep
I know it's hard to forget this man
Driving the failure into your hands
My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky
I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist..."

As she ran past the foliage, she heard the music change into a heavier tune, angrier this time. As she drew nearer, she can now catch the scent of the person, but just then stopped as she was a couple of meters away from the human.
She was still hidden the trees by the cliff but she could not believe she saw him, again. The person was the young man she met in the cafe in the city.
Jhin?

Jhins eyes were closed, and he was sitting at the edge of the cliif, singing his heart out, pouring his emotions into the song. He was so sick, so lost and so confused with what he was; who he was. Ever since he lost his brother, he had nothing, nothing to live for. There was no light in his night, nothing but the moon and its soft, comforting glow. He opened his eyes, small sparkling streams slipping down his cheeks.. Tears? They felt cold, no doubt he was crying through his music for a sign, something to change his world. Something to light it up, to stay, but never go away. He needed a reason to fight, something to give him the strength. Sometimes, he wished he could live for eternity, but other times.. Just wished to cease his existance. Foolish and selfish, even if he had no friends. It was then that it crossed his mind.. It was time to release his new Album..

Celest could feel every emotion in Jhin's voice as he sang. It was full of anger, confusion and loneliness, it almost tore through her being.
Somehow, somewhere within her almost numbed out emotions, Celest felt something stir inside her. She wanted to go out there and comfort Jhin, not because of pity, but because she just wanted to relieve him slightly of the pain he felt inside.
But somehow, she hesitated. She leaned back on the tree and sighed out. She took a step back but then her foot stepped on a twig, making a sharp snap to tear through the quiet night.

Jhin suddenly froze and set his guitar down, walking to the edge of the cliff. He jumped down, grabbing the large branch of a tree, swinging himself around, landing roughly on his feet behind the vampire. He blinked, because there was that familiar scent, roses and lilies.. with a coppery undertone. he scowled slightly, unhappy with himself for being so bitter and angry when she was here.. looking for him?
"Celest..?" He asked softly, his voice hushed, for the night was so quiet, besides the occasional sound of a siren here and there within the city. The vampires were becoming active again, how odd. He looked at her, leaning against a tree branch, using his wrapped left arm to brace himself as he ran his fingers through his messy hair. He sighed and spoke, seeming embarrassed and exhausted.
"What are you doing here..?"

Celest knew that one snap was loud enough to wake even the dead. She mentally hit herself over and over. Great, nice going...
She knew she will be detected now and sure enough, she heard Jhin's low quiet voice. "Celest...?"
"What are you doing here...?" he asked.
Breathing out, she stepped out of the shadows and remained cool and composed, saying, "Oh, I've been going around and I happened to pass by... What brings you here?"

He heard her fluent, smooth voice "What brings you here?"
Jhin shrugged his broad shoulders, he wasnt wearing a jacket, and the wind blew right through his sleeveless shirt, chilling his skin to the point of being as cold as that of a vampires. Maybe a little warmer in comparison. He smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling in the moonlight.
"I come here.. when Im alone..." He looked to the moon. "I like to pay a visit to my friend.. up there.." He almost whispered his words, as if his very heart was breaking. What was it that hurt him so? Even he didnt truly understand. But he somehow found comfort in her being here, even if she was just passing by. It was like his hideaway, his place to.. relax, be himself, to spill out his heart without anyone looking down upon him.

Her eyes fell for a second on his fine-muscled arms but then went back to look straight in his emerald-green eyes. She blinked once and walked, or almost glided, near him, stopping by his side, looking over the cliff.
"You have a lot of your mind again, Jhin. You can tell me, y'know, maybe I can help."
She heard the slight strain in his voice when he told her of his friend, and she could not help but want to help him out.

Jhin chuckled and closed his eyes. He could smell the rain, it would fall soon, and it always fell the hardest here. He wondered what water would do to a vampire, not too much, otherwise he'd have to find a place for Celest to take rafuge. A single tear slipped from his deep, thoughtfull green eyes as he opened them slowly.
"A year ago.. today.. My brother died in my arms." He whispered softly, lokoing down as he shoved his hands in his pockets. He had never opened up to anyone before, and he surprised himself.
"My parents.. They threw me out, they thought I killed him because when the police found me, He was dying in my arms, bleeding. There was nothing I could do to save him. I tried to stop the bleeding... But the wound was far beyond my skill." He looked back to the sky, his eyes sparkling with misery, the pain.. never truly went away.
"I spent the rest of my time alone, always. It was better that way, no one could hurt me.."

She listened to his words, which were filled with sadness. She thought, How cruel of his parents to immediately come to the conclusion that he killed his own brother. Why didn't they hear him out first? Maybe if that didn't happen, maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't feel this... miserable...
Celest then asked, "Who was at fault then? Who really killed your brother?"
She paused, almost regretting letting the question slip from her mouth. Just then, she smelled the rain collecting in the dark clouds. Oh no...

He looked at her, his eyes glistening with tears, the words slipping from his lips, so full of sorrow and resentment. Full of hate, anger and misery.
"He was attacked, by a drug crazed man." He figured the words were self explainitory, besides, what else was there to say? Not like she'd want him to go into detail about such a.. painfull topic. He then walked over to a boulder, grabbed his heavy leather jacket and slung it over her shoulders.
"The rains coming, lets make sure you dont get wet." He murmured softly, kindly. He wrapped an arm around her hesitantly, loosely, as not to make her uncomfortable. He then lead her quickly down a path to a small wooden structure.
"Refuge from the rain." He smiled weakly, pushing open the door for her. He felt safe here, and wouldnt mind letting her learn his secret place.

Celest stiffened and clenched her fist when she heard the reason why Jhin's brother died. No one deserves to die that way, but then she was hit in the face by the fact that she was also a killer. She may not be like the drug-crazed killer but she was like him. Who was she to feel anger towards a killer when she herself was one?
"I'm sorry..." was all she could reply.
He then told her of the coming rain and they should seek shelter, she just let him steer her off. When his arm went about her shoulders, she stiffened a little but then relaxed. It was nothing... nothing at all...
She was led to a small wooden building; it was not much but it served its purpose as shelter. When he opened the door, she slowly went inside.

Jhin leaned in the doorway, wanting to give her some space. He had felt her tense beneath his arm, and figured that she felt a little uncomfortable. After all.. She was a vampire. Jhin just stood quietly, waiting for the rain to fall.
"No need. Whats done, cannot be undone. I suppose it was.. his time. It was fate's will." He murmured softly, his posture relaxing greatly, almost lazily as he leaned against the door frame. Staring out into nothing, the memories flooding his mind. The sounds of sirens and angry cries echoed within his mind, but he didnt stir, not one bit. But his sense of confusion, and hopelessness became overwhelming again, causing him to close his eyes. He was so confused, why did his parents hate him so..? And.. just why couldnt it have been he who was killed?
