Standing up and dumping the broken pieces into the trash bin, Celest breathed heavily and tried to compose herself, her back turned on Kathrine. She was sweating coldly and pinched the upper bridge of her nose while she tightly closed her eyes.
This is bad... This bad... This is bad... she kept repeating inside her head.
She was not thinking clearly, the smell of the blood still making her go into bloodlust, heightening her thirst. Despite of this, she managed to utter out, "I'm just... scared of blood." Pathetic excuse. What a lie.
"What about my eyes?" she asked, acting as if she was clueless of the changes happening to her.

Kathrine pointed. "They're red...the irises are a blood red color..." Kathrine didn't show it, but she didn't buy the "afraid of blood" story. After the way Celest had threatened to kill the man who had tried to rape Kathrine, and then when she had tended to the cut, Kathrine had serious doubts about this explanation. "Are you sure you're alright?"

Celest placed her hands on the counter and took slow breaths. She could feel it, Kathrine was sure to be doubtful now. What will she do? If ever she revealed herself as a vampire, she will surely frighten the girl out of her wits.
She lifted her head, tilting it back, letting her hair flop clumsily behind her. Celest then answered, nodding, "Yeah, I'm alright... Really..."
Celest avoided the girl's observation of her eyes, hopefully she would just forget it.

Kathrine looked concerned, but she nodded and dropped the issue. "Sooo...what kind of music do you listen to?

Celest held back her thirst and faced Kathrine. She rubbed her arm and looked at her, her eyes in their normal hues, almost like liquid steel on her left and swirling water on the right.
So thirsty, so thirsty... she thought.
"M-Music? I listen to any kind of music really... From classical to rock, I guess. And what about you?" Celest glanced for a brief moment at the girl's neck, but looked back into her eyes.

Kathrine smiled a little. "That's so wierd, I listen to that stuff too. I mean, there are some songs that aren't rock that I'll listen to, but mostly I love rock." She caught Celest's eyes on her neck, but ignored it. "I'll listen to it in class too, but I get caught most of the time." Without meaning to, her thoughts strayed back to the incident only a few hours ago. She sighed, looking a little sad and disgusted.

Celest chuckled when Kathrine told her about getting caught in class. "You get caught, eh? I guess it's a reminder that you need to focus on studying, no matter how boring it is." she said.
She then noticed the change in the girl's disposition and tilted her head slightly. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Anything wrong, love?"

Kathrine shook her head. "I was just thinking..." She looked at Celest. "What happened today...well...it's not like it's an uncommon thing. It happens every once in a while..." She felt a tear in her eye. "This is the first time someone's actually helped me though..." She wiped away the tear. "Such pigs..."

Celest frowned at the girl's story. The world can be very cruel sometimes; in every corner, there can be people that can do harm to anyone. True, some people can be quite pigs, never caring, as long they get what they want. Although what surprised her was the fact no one helped Kathrine before.
"I guess we can never really remove those kind of people in this world that's why we need to learn to defend ourselves. Seriously, no one has helped you before? Why, are they too scared to get too involved and get hurt themselves, maybe?"
She then asked a little awkwardly, "Those who, er, attacked you, haven't gotten their way with you, I hope?"

"N-no..." She lied, but it didn't show. There had been one man. But she had been drunk, so it was hardly a fair fight.

Celest was not sure whether to believe the girl or not. She seemed sure of her answer, but when she heard the slightest of quiver in her voice, it made her doubt that. She decided not to push the question too far, feeling that she might re-open some painful past Kathrine does not want to remember.
She checked the time and sadly said, "Unfortunately, it seems I have to cut our chat short, love. I still have a gig somewhere in the city and I can't keep the bar manager waiting."
Slipping past the girl, Celest put on her black trench coat, packed her guitar up and slung it over her shoulder. She faced Kathrine and said, "I was enjoying myself too much in our conversation I didn't want to leave, but music, and work, calls. I hope we can have another chance to talk again, Kathrine."

Kathrine nodded. "Ok. If you ever want to talk again, I'm upstairs, room 32." She smiled And went to the window, waving good bye to celest before climbing out onto the fire escape and back into her room. She yawned and stretched, locking the window and going to the bathrom to take a nice hot shower.

Celest nodded, waved back at Kathrine and waited until the girl was out of sight. When she knew the teen was gone, the vampire opened her window again, climbed out, closed it and breathed in the night air.
She smiled and gripped her guitar behind her. Now, she can hunt a quick one before going straight to her gig. Jumping off the fire escape, she landed gracefully on the ground before finally going off into the night.
Nice to have a sort of 'friend' near at home, she thought as she disappeared into the darkness.
