"Ohh okay, hmm that's still pretty cool though. And your mother was right. It is a gift Mads. I know with everything you've been through, it probably doesn't seem like it huh?" Clint fell silent, deep in thought. Where did they go from here? "I can't make you change your mind Maddie. You have your reasons for seeing this the way you do. That being said... these people who are after you...they can't chase you forever. At some point they're going to have to give up Maddie. I know that sounds like it's never going to happen, but they're people and I like to think that they have other things to do in their lives. They can't devote all their time to chasing you. And if one of them does get here, we can have them arrested for stalking you. I think so anyway. Can people get arrested for stalking? I'm not sure." He muttered to himself and shook his head. "I'm rambling, sorry. Look, what I'm trying to say is that we'll figure this out together. One way or another. This is going to have to end at some point."

Okay well this could prove to be a big problem. Unless she ran all the way home and back. No, what if there were other vampires out there looking for her? What if they wanted to kill her or turn her into one of them? Kaneko shuddered at the thought. "The stitches..." She said quietly. "I'll be right back." She stood up and quickly ran up the old stairs to the study that acted as his bedroom as well. She remembered when she first was allowed into his home. Parts of the house were off limits, she still knew that. The study was just as he had last left it. Filled with all sorts of things. Things that he would probably need in the future. But first, the gauze. Her eyes darted around every little nook and cranny until she located it. Her hand grasped at it and she ran back downstairs to where Allen remained waiting. The stitched had to be redone, but she could probably just tie the ends of the strings together for a temporary fix. It was all she could do right now. She had no needle and thread of her own. "Okay...umm..." She tore off a bit of her shirt and walked to the kitchen sink. She turned the knob and wasn't surprised when hardly any water came out. What little water had wet the cloth, would have to do. Kaneko turned the knob back, shutting the water off and walked to Allen. "I apologize if it hurts." She told him as she knelt before him and carefully dabbed the wet cloth onto the bloody wound, carefully cleaning off the blood.

Clint looked her way, hearing her say his name. She was thanking him? He didn't help her in hopes of being thanked or getting anything in return, but it was always nice to hear someone thank you for something no matter how small it was. "Maddie..you don't have to tell me anything if you're not comfortable telling me. It's not going to change the fact that I'm going to try to help you in any way I can." Did she really think he'd just ask her to leave? What kind of guy did she think he was? No. He was not upset or offended, because he could understand. She didn't fully trust him and that was okay, it was smart not to trust someone right away. You had to watch them carefully. Trust was something you earned over time. Not over night. "Go ahead and tell me what you want to. I promise I will listen and I won't kick you out. My house, is your house too. What's mine, is yours."

And so he listened. Clint listened to the explanation given to him by Maddie about these strange people. A cult?! Those things still existed? He had heard of them yeah, but Clint never imagined that it was an actual real life thing. Aurelie... He wondered if anything came up if he searched for that name. Perhaps looking her up wasn't a bright idea. What if that lady found out somehow and like...cursed him or something? Relax Clint. No one is going to curse you. You're overreacting. This was probably true. "Okay hold on. Let me get this straight. You do palm readings, and because of that, you've been labeled as a witch by this Aurelie person and so her twisted followers are tracking you down to kill you?" He asked her, taking a seat across from her. "Jeez, sounds like my auntie. She believes all those gypsy ladies and fortune tellers are the devil's work. It's why I don't talk to her. about that stuff anymore. Hey Mads, don't think of it as a curse. It's a gift. Not everyone can read palms or tarot cards. It takes a special kind of person to be able to do that stuff." Clint frowned, she was abused growing up? Well Shite.. he thought to himself.

Kaneko didn't dare step on the clothes laying on the ground. The thought alone was frightening. She only walked with Allen in silence, quietly thanking him for holding the door for her then stepped inside. "We can grab some clothes for you here a-and then walk to the park where I can call a cab." She said quietly. That was her plan, until she saw Allen that is. He was bleeding! "The cab can wait. Umm...h-here why don't you have a seat first." She suggested and pulled up a single wooden chair then helped him sit down. Kaneko quickly shut the front door and frowned. "Do you have any medical supplies here?" She asked him. It didn't really matter though, she just needed to stop the bleeding. "I'm going to take a look at the wound now, please remain still." Kaneko suggested quietly and carefully unbuttoned his shirt so that she could see how serious it was. It was very serious.

There was no sound, no scream. No signs of a struggle like she thought there would be. Slowly, she looked back down and let out a gasp. She had killed him! He was gone, only his clothes remained there on the ground. Her trembling hands dropped the branch onto the ground, she had done it. She had killed someone in order to protect Allen. She never thought she would ever kill a person for someone she cared about. She momentarily thought if this was what her father did when he was away from home.

Hot tears of fear threatened to spill down her cheeks but she held them back. She had to keep herself calm or else she would probably scream and she didn't need anyone coming to check what was the matter. Although she doubted anyone knew about this place. Allen's voice calmed her a little, the feeling of his hand on top of hers was so familiar, it slowed her breathing and helped her remain calm when she would normally be panicking. "It's...it's okay. He's gone now. He's never going to hurt you again Allen. Now....l-let's get you inside so we can grab some clothes before calling a cab." She replied, her voice just a tremble away from making her calm demeanor crumble away to show how truly scared she was. Her eyes were on the older man's clothes the entire time she spoke, then they looked towards Allen. "You're s-safe now."

Kaneko picked up a thick branch and dropped it upon hearing that terrifying yell. With shaky hands, the pale girl retrieved the branch and clutched it close to her chest. Her eyes wide in fear, darting back in the direction where both vampires were. Her feet didn't want to move, she was paralyzed with fear momentarily, but she knew that if she wanted to help Allen, she couldn't just stand there like an idiot. Kaneko took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, her feet carefully making their ways back towards the two vampires. The older one looked dead, but she wasn't sure if he really was or wasn't. What did a dead vampire look like? Don't risk it Kaneko Boa, you need to kill him yourself if you want to help Allen get better. You need to kill him. Go on, just do it already you idiot girl! Do it now! Her subconscious ordered her harshly. Right, Kaneko knew what she had to do. It would be easy, just a quick plunge of the branch and it would finally end. It would be over and she would have more of a reason to leave. Her hands gripped the thick branch and she positioned it right above the older vampire's chest, turning her head away, she raised the branch in the air then swiftly plunged it downwards towards the older vampire's chest. She didn't want to see it though, didn't want to witness herself kill anyone.

Clint nodded, he walked to the fridge and poured her a glass of cold water then walked back and set the glass down before her plate of food. "Enjoy." He told her and smiled. While she ate, Clint busied himself in washing the dishes quietly. Would she be okay by herself tomorrow while he was at work? What if she was gone by the time he got home? Would she actually just walk out and leave while he was gone? If she didn't trust him well enough, she just might and he couldn't blame her. That guy was probably still out there somewhere, looking for her. Would someone break into his own house just to get to her? Was she really that wanted by someone? What had she done to piss this person or these people off though? Despite wanting to ask, Clint knew better. If Maddie wanted to talk, she would. He wanted to get to know her, but he didn't want to force her to speak to him if she didn't want to and it looked like she preferred to keep to herself.

Kaneko couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her expression one of worry. Allen could be killed! He didn't back down though and it was admirable but she knew she had to do something before things got out of hand and someone did end up being killed. As much as she would love for the older vampire to die, she thought the older vampire wanted for Allen to become a killer like him. Maybe he didn't, but she still didn't trust him. "Allen!" She called out to him, but her cries fell on deaf ears. With much fear, she made her way over to where the two vampires were. The older one now pinned beneath Allen. "Allen...this is what he wants. Can't you see it? He wants you to be just like him. He wants you to succumb to your instincts, but you're better than this. I know you are. But..." She frowned. Maybe this was supposed to happen. Maybe if the older vampire died, then Allen would finally be free to do as he pleased. The question was: How did you kill a vampire? A silver bullet? No...that was werewolves wasn't it? The classic thing was a steak through the heart but she didn't have one. Looking around in the woods, she wondered if a regular wooden stick would work if it was thick enough. She had to find one, and quick if she wanted to try it out. Kaneko's eyes darted around the floor, looking for a thick enough branch that she could possibly use in this situation.
