"Tallulah," Kate said, not entirely sure why she even bothered to answer that question. This sad bitch wasn't gonna meet Lully, why would he need to know who she was?
Keep watch? Didn’t sleep? Why hadn’t he guessed that in the first place. He knew nothing about Kate and corpses, but corpses not sleeping seemed to make worlds of sense. Why would you need sleep if you were already dead?
James listened. He thought about saying something in reply, but his mind didn’t make it very far past the vaguest impression of a thought. With permission to rest, his eyes sealed shut without a second though and James was out like a light.
Kate shifted James's big - surprisingly heavy - head off of her shoulder and onto a patch of moss on the ground. She sighed and adjusted her glasses. James was a good guy. Not everyone would slice a vein for a vamp.
Still, he almost definitely had some kind of blood poisoning from his garbage lifestyle of drinking, crying, and drinking to stop crying. Was it possible to get diseases from drinking other people's diseased blood?
She hadn't really paid that much attention in class before she was kicked out of school, but from what she knew, the vampiricy would cancel out other ailments. The big scare disease would chomp up all the little pathetic diseases. The cure for cancer was found. Turns out, the answer was to get sicker.
Her thoughts wandered about like this as she stared out into the woods. A deer walked by at one point.
By the gods, was she bored.
And then, suddenly, she heard something. Another deer, maybe? Something rustling the dead leaves and branches. No....no, this was different. A person.
Kate glanced at James. She wouldn't be able to wake the poor sap up if she tried.
So, with great effort and aching limbs, she pulled herself up using the tree and surveyed the trees, waiting for the person to step out.
Eventually, a familiar face pushed through the trees. James had been right. Hoss was quick to run after them, and he looked rougher for it. With a hastily wrapped bandage around his bitten shoulder, Hoss stalked towards them with his gun in hand.
When his eyes landed on James, passed out by the tree, his eyes lit up and he lifted his gun.
Kate pushed herself fully to her feet and stepped between Hoss and James. She was still kinda dizzy, but she did happen to remember that James couldn't exactly survive a bullet to the brain.
She drew her sword, her gaze lingering on the bloodied bandages on Hoss's shoulder as she used her free hand to take off her glasses and tuck them safely away in her inner coat pocket.
She heard an ear-poping bang, and her vision went white with pain. Half a second later her hand was pressed to her forehead where her newly acquired blood now had a big, gaping hole through which to escape.
"FUCK!" She leveled a glare at Hoss, "I need this blood inside me you glitter-licking asshole!"
Hoss's face, just a second ago a picture of confidence, went white as a sheet. With fumbling fingers, he moved to reload.
At the base of the tree, James's eyes shot wide open. The moment he heard the gunshot, his heart started racing, despite the fact that he felt like all of the energy had been drained from him.
