Salem Town

Ariana bled and saw Rai. *No....I....can't be near him...*
"Thanks Rai.." she ran back to her house.
The man got up and punched Rai weakly.

Rai got punched in the face but punched him in the stomach to knock the wind out of him

The man couldn't breathe and growled at Rai. "Stupid....Vampires..."

"That 'vampire' happens to be the woman I love. So next time you think of attacking her, remember the beating I gave you, because if you try it again, you'll get one ten times worse"

The man only got a smile from that. "Then you know everything about her....why don't you tell me about her?"

"I'm really not in the mood to play any games. So you have ten seconds to get the hell out of my sight before I give you that ass kicking right now"

The man got up and left

Once he was sure he was gone Rai panted a bit. He looked at his hands which were still bleeding a bit and flexed his fingers a few times before he started to walk

Ariana ran outside with a mask on. She cleaned and wrapped up his hands without scenting his blood.

Rai pulled away before she could and walked off despite it being obvious his hands were in immense pain

Ariana took it as a sign. She looked down her heart broken to the point where it felt it could never mend.
*....I...only hurt when i help..* She turned around and went inside her house. She laid on the couch and cried falling asleep.

Rai didn't let her see his tears as he pulled away. He walked home as a trail of tears replaced the trail of blood. His heart was just as broken as hers

Ariana woke up the next morning.

Rai didn't sleep at all that night

Ariana still had the stains from her crying all night to sleep.
She looked down at her tea. "Maybe....why....why did he pull away..."

Rai sat on his bed lost in though, almost all of it about Ariana

Ariana went outside and sat under a tree thinking of him.
She kept think about how he pulled away last night when she was trying to help.

Rai thought about her trying to help. He loved her for wanting to help him but he wanted her to move on knowing she wouldn't change her mind so he had to be distant so she would hate him and forget about him

Ariana thought for a bit. "He....probably moved on."

Rai stood up and wrapped his hands then went for a walk

Ariana sighed and got up. She looked at the sky. *Moved on....I guess its for the best*

Rai found the park and sat on a bench

Ariana was across him from behind him and watched.

Rai knew she was there and looked down and sighed

Ariana walked over and sat down next to him.
