Raelin cleared her throat. She had not meant to reveal her abilities to him, but obviously, he would have found out soon enough with that mind reading trick he kept pulling on her. "I can...I feel emotions, I guess..." she answered. Honestly, she was embarrassed. These new powers, or whatever they were, made her feel even more freakish.
Almost as soon as she explained this to Blake, she felt him grow suddenly tense, fearful. Then he grabbed her wrist. She finally sensed someone else near them. They were annoyed. Great. Raelin had no desire to come upon another hostile person.
Obviously, Blake had met this man before, and Blake did not seem to have liked their last meeting. His tenseness was now joined by anger. Raelin examined this new stranger; her blue eyes searched his face, translated his body language...He was not human. But then, what was he?
"Blake...There's no need..." Raelin did not want to see any more dead bodies, especially if they were the bodies of people killed for her sake. Even if he was a threat.

William tutted shaking his head, "I was never going to bit your head off what do you think I am? An animal?" he laughed with a twinkle in his eye. "Honestly." he stepped into Blake's personal space "How's Eva?" he asked with a wide grin putting an ice cold hand on Blake's shoulder. "I haven't seen her around lately I worry you know?" he stepped back and gave Raelin a small smile. "She's such a sweet girl" he said with fake sincerity as he took a cigarette from his pocket. He was genuinely curious about Eva if he was being honest with himself. He'd had a few minor scuffles and tumbles with her brother but hadn't seen the girl herself which was odd they were rarely apart after all.
"Now now there's no need for that kind of talk" He said as Blake fired himself up, William was still slightly fascinated by that, "I'm not going to touch her" he rolled his eyes and moved froward again just for a moment putting his cigarette to the flames "Thank you" he smirked. "As I was saying I'm not going to touch your friend" he smiled again at Raelin "I didn't catch your name darling" he said to her "please don't judge me by Blake's harsh words we had a small misunderstanding I do get so cranky when I'm hungry." Couldn't have ran into a human could he, I could do with something more to eat but a guard won't do he thought to himself and then turned back to Blake "Simmer down" he flashed his sharp canines and then took a drag of his cigarette. "Trying to kill me would not be a smart move.

Blake smiled at her "Neat trick, but um, between you and me, no matter how you trust people I wouldn't tell well...anyone else that. I mean I told you what I could do but there are two groups of people, the ones who'll want to exploit you for it and the ones who'll want to kill you for it" Blake told her, voice soft and calm before he smiled "But don't worry I wont hurt you, and the only reason anyone else is either....dying drove 'em a little mad and well, um, there scared. Can't blame em, you loose your whole family and now an unknown amount of parasites are parading about, who wouldn't be scared?"
"Well pretty much" Blake smirked, glad he was able to actually speak this time, as he rose an eyebrow leaning back a little in half a nonchalant gesture, but more so to block Rea if William did attack. It wasn't really Blake's place to go being the hero of all the girls he came across, but Rea seemed, well, fragile and he was finding it hard enough to forgive himself for hurting Eva, he didn't want someone else to be hurt on his accord.
Blake shuffled back a small bit as Wolfe stepped closer, his heart twisting and jumping to his throat at the thought of Eva...he really did miss her, he hated lying to her, all at once all those feelings of love and regret hit him, but other than a slight frown he wouldn't allow himself to back down infront of Wolfe, besides he should really have been consentrating on protecting one girl at a time.
"There really is" Blake said to Rea in a soft growl. He was far from intending to kill William, hell, he wasn't really able to kill anyone, this was still nice happy cheery love everyone Blake, unless William forced his hand, Blake never really believed anyone had the right to take a life
"I wouldn't know" Blake said to William simply, even if he did know he wouldn't have told the other guy, "You stay the hell away from her you little parasite" Blake growled, there was certainly no love loss on Blake's side anyway
Blake glared at William, unfortunately his shortening tempter wasn't exactly helping with his control of the flames and he had to let go of Rea for fear of burning her as all his skin began to heat more than a little unnaturally "You think I couldn't?" Blake growled "Piss off before I lose my temper" he hissed, okay so Blake was almost incapable of losing his temper, particularly when he was scared half shitless, but couldn't blame a guy for trying to bluff someone he was scared of and act like some Hero for a pretty girl could ya?

Raelin stored Blake's advice somewhere in the back of her mind. Apparently she had been right to try and hide her new abilities. At least she still had one kept secret for now.
Raelin stood her ground as the man came closer. When he mentioned someone else's name, she sensed a few of Blake's emotions burst forth; obviously this woman meant something to Blake. Raelin glanced at the back of Blake's head, then returned her gaze to the stranger, still listening intently.
When he said he would not harm her, Raelin sensed he spoke the truth, but she still did not trust him, and she ignored his inquiry about her name. She did not know why until he said, "I do get so cranky when I'm hungry." Raelin had to play the statement back in her head. "Hungry?" she asked softly. She did not think he meant "hungry" in the human terms.
Meanwhile, Blake was growing more agitated. The hand gripping her wrist was getting warmer; he let go before it could burn her. Raelin really did not want to witness a fight, or see Blake injure himself...or worse. She grabbed Blake's arm without thinking. I'm not worth it... she thought, trying to send him a clear mental signal. Truly, she wasn't.

William put a hand this his heart clutching at his shirt. "Ouch" he said with a quirk of his lips. "Why do you have to hurt me so Blake?" he asked and watched the way Blake moved the nonchalance of his movements. "Oh please as if you aren't scared." He said arching a dark eyebrow and taking another drag of his cigarette. "I can hear your heartbeat" he said in a sing song voice his lips curling into another wide grin. "Come on hero I already told you I'm not going to hurt her you don't have to keep guarding her like that." he rolled his eyes. "You know you two aren't my type." "Listen to the girl Blake" He advised the other man "Really she seems smart" he winked at Raelin. He was still slightly annoyed at them for getting in the way of his feeding and his eyes flicked back to the body on the ground of a moment. However seeing how he got to Blake was really cheering him right up. He wasn't even playing with them that much he was just standing in front of them if he had been wanting to unsettle them he would be circling or staying in their personal space as it was he was more or less standing still perhaps they weren't clear on the concept of chatting.
"Little?" William growled back taking no offense to the parasite part of Blake's insult. "I resent that" he hissed "Anyway it is so very hard to stay away from something that's hunting you" he smirked. "I'm certain she'll turn up with a stake in her hand sooner or later I'll tell her you said Hi."
"I really don't think you could and even if by some fluke you did manage it kid there are some people who would not be one bit happy with you" William warned him "As amazing as it may seem to you I have friends" he said around the cigarette which was back in his mouth. "And you call that not losing your temper?" he asked gesturing to the almost out of control flame "Or are you just to weak to control your power. Hmm?"
William grinned at Raelin "Oh you're new aren't you?" he said with a small hint of amusement in his voice as he sized her up again. "But yes luckly I just had some-" he paused "something to eat before you came along" he let his mind float back to the pure bliss of the blood in his mouth and the dying heartbeat in his fading away in his ear.

Blake couldn't help the burn of humiliation in the back of his throat at Williams comment, of course he was frightened, the man was a merciless killer, picking off the last scabs of humanity, hell who wouldn't be scared of that. But it was Williams eyes which truly unnerved Blake, those bright blue eyes which told of a man who cared not for the death of the world, or the death of himself for that matter. He'd seen it before though...in those cold nights where claws would creep beneath his skin and death would hold him once again as he begged her to stay...
Blake's gaze dropped to the ground a moment the flames appearing to die out, but though their size didn't increase, their heat however did. Blake didn't trust William, but he allowed Rea to move from behind him if she so desired, though if the other made even the smallest movement of hostility toward her Blake was ready. Blake could read the other mans thoughts after all, he'd be able to know as soon as things became dangerous, or at least he hoped so.
Blake glanced down at the woman with a look of almost disbelief and shook his head with a small smile "Of course you are" he said softly, really wishing right then that their personal little lives weren't effecting their judgment, but Blake was the worst for bringing his personal stress into things. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Your the only person I actually know who wont kill me" Blake said trying to boost her moral a bit.
Blake glanced at the body almost at the same time as Will. His stomach felt ill, head dizzy, he hated seeing the dead, he was almost used to it now however, but when he saw the corpses it all seemed so horrible...but then he had to remember that simple bliss of nothing...no pain...no fear...just simple, beautiful nothing, and for some reason that made him feel a little better.
"I care." Blake retorted, not really realizing how childish that sounded, well more ignored how childish it sounded. A shot of fear ran through Blake and Will knew it! Blake was terrified, he was lying to Eva about who he was, about everything, if the other woman were to figure out who he was, she'd never want to see him again, hell she'd kill him...he definitely couldn't have her find out from Will, and for a moment he was almost begging the other man to stay quiet, but alas he knew it was futile.
"Say I don't believe you?" Blake smirked "How would they even know who did it, hell I'd have you no more than a pile of ash, for all they would know you upped and left this hole of a city"
The flame grew a little more at Will's words, the other man knew well Blake was far from attuned to his ability, but William was right, it was actually beginning to hurt Blake at this point and he was beginning to fear if he could stop it, the unnatural flames moving almost in tune with his heart as the other man spoke to Rea
"He's a savage murderer" Blake growled to Rea, eyes set on William "Evan has the audacity to state people are things"

Raelin clenched her jaw when Blake turned to her. She knew he meant what he said, but she still did not approve of him waisting his energy on this man for her, even if the stranger did deserve to die. Sighing, she released his arm. There was no use in arguing with Blake, and she had no right to stop him anyway. Apparently, Blake felt intent on causing this man some harm.
Raelin did not notice the body on the ground until the man glanced at her. The sight caught her by surprise; he heart skipped a beat. It looked like a woman, her eyes were still wide open, her face set in an expression of fear. Raelin searched for some sign of life from the poor girl, but she sensed nothing.
After a moment, Raelin looked away. Somehow it seemed rude to be staring at the lady. Then she realized that this woman and the man's "something to eat" were connected...even the same. When she came to this conclusion, Raelin looked back up at the man. She knew for sure now that he was not human. "What are you?"

William shook his head at Blake "I don't really think it's murder when I need to do it to survive" he hissed though of course that was only half true really. "Saying someone just sounds so awkward" he said with a quick smile. "I am-" he started then looked carefully at Raelin. "I am a vampire" he said and waited for the inevitable freak out. No one had ever responded very well to that sentence. "You became what you are because of the virus and I became what I am as I've told Blake before we aren't all that different."
"Fine say they don't know it's you," he started gesturing with his cigarette "you know what my friends do when they're angry? Especially if they can't get to the person who made them angry?" he asked "They take it out on everyone else and a vampire on a bid of vengeance isn't pretty at all" he said in all seriousness.
William watched the flames with interest "That's a very interesting power" he said softly "Does your friend have any special powers?" he asked curiously knowing she must but highly doubting he'd be told.

"you couldn't just, I dunno, pick on rodents or something closer to your status?" Blake hissed irritably, yeah so what if it made him sound like a little rich boy that pretty much was what he was, at least he used to be.
"We are that different, I don't go around eating people" Blake growled "And I'm not a parasite" "Won't be my problem, If I'm lucky those shapeshifters will rip them apart, or even better, they cancel eachother out" Blake growled having been jumped by a shapeshifter before, he wasn't exactly friendly to either species, he could barely stand what he was, he was busy lying to the humans and wondering what to do with Eva, tell her? Seduce her? lie to her? Ugh, why couldn't he just concentrate on just one thing for once in his life?
"But seriously, vengeance? over you? I mean I know your up your own arse but thats just ridiculous" "Like I'd tell you" Blake growled, granted he wasn't going to stop her telling the other man, though he didn't think empathy would interest William much it might and Blake had no intention of finding out if he could help it.
For a moment Blake froze, the flames turning to a near stationary blue as low growling could be heard behind their little squabble, the shapeshifters had found them...

Internally, Raelin squirmed when the stranger revealed he was a vampire. Great. Of coarse the rumors were true, that was the nature of her luck. However, Raelin remained composed, hiding her emotions, something she had perfected in her human years.
Raelin stood beside Blake listening to the two men bicker. She was not sure whether to interrupt, or to wait and let them settle it. The way it was going, it looked like this conversation would only end in physical harm.
But before Raelin could decide what to do, she sensed Blake grow very tense again, but for a different reason this time. Someone, or something was watching them. Raelin could only pick up the faintest mental signal from an unknown source, but it was growing stronger. She began searching the area with her eyes as well.

"Spoke exactly like someone who's never tried rodent blood" William spat out wrinkling his nose at even the thought of living off rats as if he was a dog. "Human blood is the only thing that really cuts it, anything else is like sticking a plaster on a bullet wound. Maybe if your lucky with will stop the hunger for a short time but it's not a real long term prospect." he shrugged and it gave the impression that even if it was a possible to live off he wouldn't anyway.
"I'm not a cannibal kid I don't eat people." He added with a chuckle "If you think I'm sick you've obviously never seen one of them at work."
He watched Raelin's reaction with a smirk. "Strong one you've got here" he said to Blake. "I'd place a bet on her lasting longer than you, you're far to emotional makes it so easy-" he circled around Blake for a moment "for those horrible people who prey on that to hurt you" he whispered with a wicked grin. "Your girl on the other hand" he moved behind Raelin and leaned in to talk in her ear "Seems like a real fighter" he moved away and then noticed the growling and Raelin's searching eyes.
"Fuck it anyway" he said and responded to one of the advancing shapeshifters with a snarl of "I'm not in the mood to fight with you pricks." he looked at them to see if he recognised any of them.
