Kaneko busied herself placing the napkins on his wounds until she ran out then she fumbled around for her cellphone, she needed an ambulance. "Dad, I suggest you leave now or else I will have you arrested." She hissed. Her hands were trembling, she was shaking from the fear. Her ears were ringing from the sound of the gun going off and she was sure she would never forget what had just happened in front of her. Allen was dying and her father was just standing there, watching. He had done his part. The man smirked, the vampire would die and he would drag his daughter back to their house. He would tell her the truth, and he would make sure she quit her job.

Kaneko's free hand gently squeezed Allen's in reassurance. It would be okay. He would be fine. He had to be. She couldn't believe her father was just standing there, he was going to watch Allen die. Why did he hate him so much? What had Allen done to him to deserve this anyway? Kaneko looked down at Allen, her cellphone in her other hand just ready to dial the number for help. Her father attacked him, but why? There had to be a reason why he would do such a thing. "Afraid? Afraid of what?" She asked, her voice just barely above a whisper. She didn't trust her actual regular voice right now. The more Allen said, the more confused she grew. "But...y-you're a human too." She let out a weak chuckle. Kaneko couldn't even bring herself to chuckle properly. His last comment made her heart skip a few beats in her chest. He...fell in love?

"Oh please, he's incapable of loving anyone Kaneko. He's a killer. He will only hurt you. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but one day the killer in him will take over and before you know it he'll kill you for no other reason than to feed himself." Her father interjected, finding what Allen was saying repulsive. "He is right though, he doesn't deserve you. You deserve much better. Someone that I know you will be safe around. Allen here, is a vampire. I'm sure he must have told you right?" He asked, knowing already full well the answer.

His daughter looked at him, her eyes wide, tears on the verge of spilling over her cheeks. A vampire? "I...they don't exist." She whispered, shaking her head and shutting her eyes tightly. "They do Kaneko, and Allen is one of them. You mean, he didn't tell you this?" Kaneko didn't say anything. How was she supposed to respond to this? The only thing she could do now was going to be difficult to do, but she had to. She called the ambulance first, explaining the situation and then, while trying not to cry and scream, she reported her own father as the shooter. Even if he did go into hiding, they would know it was him. She was the sole witness. When she had hung up, her father gave her a disappointed look. "Really Kaneko? You're going to throw your own father in prison? After all I've done for you?" Kaneko couldn't speak. She hadn't wanted to, but it was the only way she could protect herself and Allen. "You wanted to k-kill him." She said after a while, her throat burned now and after a moment, sirens were heard in the distance. "Run, I know you will." She whispered, dropping her phone in her purse and looking at the gun as the sirens got louder making her head hurt. "I'm sorry, but you gave me no choice dad."

The beating never came, slowly she opened her eyes to see that her father was now on the ground, Allen looming over him. It scared her because even though she was mad at her father, he was till her father. The only family she had left and she didn't want to hurt him either. He was never able to hit her as he had planned to, the stupid vampire had intervened. It brought an interesting idea to the man's mind. The vampire fancied his daughter. How idiotic. his daughter would never be allowed to see him even if he had to lock her up himself. She didn't need a job either so if she was fired, he wouldn't care. The man's gun fell out of his hand when he hit the ground and he frantically reached for it. "D-dad! D-dad don't!" She screamed but it was too late. Her father took hold of the gun tightly in his hand and aimed it once again at the vampire's chest before pulling the trigger, quickly readying the gun again and aiming again. "Dad no!" She cried now. Rushing over to Allen's side and looking around for something to stop the bleeding. She couldn't find anything but her purse! Quickly, with trembling hands Kaneko reached into her purse and pulled out some napkins. nothing fancy but hopefully it would help with the bleeding on both his arm and chest.

"Allen! Allen l-look at me. D-don't worry you are going to be f- H--hey!" Her father was on his feet now and had cute her off by grabbing her arm and pulling her up with him. "We are going home now." He hissed seriously, pulling her along even though she resisted. "L-let me go! You're hurting me!" She exclaimed, looking at her father who only waved the gun in her face. "You should know better than to raise your voice at me." He hinted. Kaneko instinctively shrunk back and looked at Allen with a hurt expression on her face. She couldn't just leave him there, so she fought and yelled until she managed to pull herself free and ran towards Allen then pulled out her cellphone and glared at her father. "You get close and I will call the police." She warned, taking the napkins and pressing them to Allen's wounds. Her father laughed, "You would actually turn in your own father? Are you not loyal to your own family?" He asked. "I'm not loyal to people who hurt others for no reason." She spat back at him, angry.

"Oh, so you don't know? He didn't tell you?" Her father started. "Just a moment ago Allen was begging me to kill him. Weren't you Allen?" The man said with a sick smile on his face. It was pitch dark outside, everyone was probably asleep and if not, someone was bound to have called the police if they heard the gunshots. Kaneko looked scared at this answer and she looked down at Allen. "Y-you were?" She asked. "I...b-but why? Why do you want to hurt him so much? W-what are you talking about?" She asked her father. "D-didn't tell me what?" This wasn't the right time to ask such questions though, she needed to make sure that Allen would be okay. She needed to get the bleeding to stop.

"Come on, keep running!" Kaneko was tired already. She had worked a very long shift, she wanted to get home and get some much needed sleep. Food didn't even interest her right now. Her foot buckled and she had to hold out her hands in front of her to keep herself from falling.

The old man laughed softly. "You want to end the fight? Really? So soon? Oh Allen come now, you're the one who asked me to kill you. Trust me, I'll be doing everyone a favor when there is one less of you running around loose." He said, readying the gun again and aiming at the vampire's cold chest. Right through the heart, that should kill him. He thought so anyway. "Kaneko is at work. Even if she were out, she would be on her way home, she's not coming down here. She knows better."

Kaneko's lungs burned, begging for her to stop and take a few breaths but she couldn't and wouldn't. She ran and ran until she spotted her father pointing a gun at something. "D-dad?" She said, sounding confused. Her running slowed to a walk and coming closer, she saw Allen holding on to his arm. "Allen!?" Her eyes widened and she looked at her father. "Dad...you...you shot him?!" She felt herself start to grow angry. Her father only looked at her, he looked surprised to see her there. "You should be at home, now go." he ordered, ignoring her completely and focusing on his target instead; Allen.

Kaneko couldn't believe it, her father had shot Allen, why? "N-no! No...if I go you'll hurt Allen and I'm not going to let you!" She replied seriously. "Leave Allen alone!" She warned, getting in between her father and Allen, her face held a serious and hurt expression. Why was her father doing this? Why wasn't he at work? Her father looked at her again and narrowed his eyes again. "I told you to go home. This has nothing to do with you Kaneko." He warned. Again, Kaneko only shook her head and remained where she was. "I am not going anywhere and there is nothing you can do or say that will make me change my mind. I will not let you hurt him!" Kaneko replied seriously. Her father, now angered by her defiance, raised his hand to hurt her but Kaneko only braced herself and closed her eyes.

"You're right. It isn't. At least I know some mortal is looking out for him." He said. It sounded mean but he hadn't meant it that way. A best friend? Well now, that was good to know. They were only friends, there was nothing more going on. Good, this was good. His son didn't need any distractions. "Vent to?" Ares repeated and raised an eyebrow. However he would never get an answer because right at that moment, he was being summoned. "I need to get going. You mortals sure enjoy praying." He muttered and vanished.

Back at work, Eros was finishing up working along with her father. They were just about done getting ready to walk back to their homes. Eros had a lot on his mind, mostly just stuff about the war. Were his parents mad at Sapphira still? Had she apologized to them? Had they accepted? Would it be okay if he asked them? Maybe he could pay a quick visit to the temples and have a talk with his parents or visit Sapphira and talk with her first.
