Trying Not To Get Killed (Open)

[aubrey]

Aubrey sighed softly as he kissed her. She had been slightly surprised that he didn't push her away. She had been so familiar with being denied lately that his affection made her off guard. She slid her fingers over his lips. "Shaden, I didn't make him call you just so I could talk about Massimo." She had just wanted to see him. She had wanted to make sure he was okay.

Aubrey kissed him softly. She could offer him more of herself now that she was a vampire. She didn't want him to hurt. She wanted to be able to give him the comfort that he gave her when he was fighting to protect her. She was sure that had she not given in and allowed herself to be taken that he would have continued to fight for her. Just like Colette would have.

She pressed her face into his chest. She loved the way he smelled. She breathed him in deeply. "You don't have to stay with me right now. You can leave and we can meet when it would be easier and more convenient to talk." She didn't want him to leave. She wanted him to stay with her. She wanted to feel something other than Xavier's way of expressing his emotions.

She trembled at the thought of him. Xavier scared her. She was bonded to him, she loved him, but only because he was her master. She had tried to show him love, but he had turned her away. She didn't want to spend eternity having to mix pain for any type of pleasure.

[Shaden Grace]

Shaden was taken back a bit, he had truly thought she was simply using him to get to Massimo, but now that turned out to be false. He was only slightly confused but he didn't allow for that emotion to show. Everything he had ever been taught told him he should leave now. That he should turn around and walk away, and not even look back.

But he couldn't do that. Not with her lips touching his. Shaden slightly smiled into the kiss, before deepening it, lightly biting at her bottom lip. Shaden pulled back again, to stare into her eyes. He couldn't help but wonder what Xavier would do to her when she came back with Shaden's scent on her. It worried him slightly and he might have stepped away if Aubrey hadn't pressed her face into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her to comfort her.

It was a while before he said anything but finally he lifted her face up to look at him "No time could ever be more convenient, sweetheart, I want to stay with you." He smiled when he called her sweetheart. He hoped she wouldn't mind. It was after all, just one of his many habits. He really would have to come up with a new name to call people.

"Won't..." He paused, and looked away for a second. He hated to even say the mans name, "Won't Xavier be upset with you though, when he finds out you've been with me?" He didn't want to upset her, but Shaden had always tried to be honest and say what was on his mind. Tonight was no different.

Aubrey smiled softly at Shaden. Xavier would be furious. But he had left town for a few days. He didn't even tell her where he was going. He hadn't told her that she couldn't see other people, they had never covered that in her studies or training.

She clung tightly to Shaden. She wanted his scent all over her. She loved the way he smelled. "Xavier will be angry. But almost everything I do makes him angry. He made me kill someone that first night, after i had turned. I went to find you afterward, I ran from him. He didn't like that." Aubrey mindlessly traced his jaw with her finger as she thought back to that night. She shuttered again.

"I will not be the monster that he is. He is just my Sire Shaden, he doesn't control my every move. I can have a separate life, outside from him." She kissed his temple. She felt safe with Shaden. He wouldn't beat her or torture her. She didn't have to be afraid all of the time. She looked past Shaden, to the human she had threatened. She blushed. "Do you want to take me somewhere...less public?" She inclined her head towards Troy.

[Shaden Grace]

"Poor Angel, He doesn't sound like a very good sire." His arms around her tightened a little. Of course Shaden knew it would only get worse for her, "I should just steal you away. Take you back to New York with me." He said half joking. He smiled at her. The thought was nice but he wasn't stupid. Xavier would come looking for her and if Shaden caused anymore trouble for Massimo... well it just wouldn't be good. Not that Massimo could kill Shaden, but Max new someone even older then Shaden who could kill him. So it was best to stay on Max's 'good side' for now.

Shaden looked away from her at her next comment. How odd she would say she didn't want to become the monster Xavier was, when Shaden himself often called himself a monster. He wasn't so different from Xavier, just Shaden could show his emotions better. He could care for something, and in a way Shaden thought that he was better because of that.

He glanced over at Troy and then back to Aubrey. He smiled softly, "What? And deny the public a good show?" He teased and then nodded, "We could go to my place. I bought a house here two days ago. And don't worry, Massimo doesn't even know about it. In fact I do believe he's been working on business." He shook his head. Massimo was always working.
"Massimo's going to be pissed when he finds out Troys here. He should be in New York. But he just doesn't listen very well." He glanced back at Troy. Shaden really shouldn't leave him out here but he was going to. He really care what happened to him.

[aubrey]

Aubrey would let Shaden take her away, but Xavier would follow. Not only because Aubrey was gone, but because she had left with someone else. Xavier would kill Shaden, and probably decide not to be as lenient with her training.

No. Fleeing to New York was not an option for her. She pulled away from Shaden and reached inside of her pocket. She retrieved a pair of leather gloves. She put them on to hide the ugliness of her nails. She would never be able to forgive Xavier for that.

She then took Shaden's hand. Public didn't bother her, Troy did. If Massimo was going to be pissed at him for being in London Troy might try to rat out Shaden. She had already told Troy that she planned on killing Max. The last thing she wanted was for Troy to let him know that Shaden and herself would be plotting together. She used to trust anyone she met, but now she trusted very few people. Troy was not one of them.

She pulled at Shaden's arm. "Lets just go. He can take care of himself.' She didn't want Shaden angry at Troy. But she shot him a cold look. If he ratted out Shaden and Massimo hurt Shaden again, she would kill him. She was sure she got the point across.
