The sun was a few hours from rising, but the streets were pitch black. Just the way a vampire liked them. Michael had just been brutalized by Sevanni just a few hours before. He still bore heavy wounds from the fight. He had made his way to the streets by way of a local subway. There wasn't many people around. Thank god, Michael was in such a bad shape, he could probably fall prey to a human.
"How could this have happened?" He whispered to himself. The defeat had really messed with his head. It was his only defeat, he had so much to learn.
His hunger for revenge had subsided but it wasn't truly gone. He still had hurt pride. He was really dragging himself through the streets. He could only put weight on one leg. He was like a wounded animal. He couldn't hunt a meal so he could be done for. After a few more minutes of walking, he collapsed to the ground, much like he did a few moments ago. He crawled over to a wall and rested his back against it. He could not stand up at all.

Aubrey finally caught up with him. She looked ta him slumped against the wall and sighed. After Sevanni had dropped her off she quickly showered and let her room to go find Michael. He was ridiculous and arrogant and just like every other male in her life. It was beginning to grow tiresome.
She hurried to him. When she reached him she knelt down beside him on her knees. "Oh, God Michael." his knee needed to be popped back into place. It would heal faster that way. "Don't watch me do this. Look away." Aubrey's worried eyes flicked up to him momentarily. "Ready?" She didn't wait for his reply. She placed her hands on his knee and jerk. It snapped back in place and she winced.

While buried in his own sorrows, Aubrey made an unexpected appearance. Another person Michael didn't want to see him like this. She had already witnessed his injuries, she was present at the fight, but he hoped that she thought it was nothing and that he could heal himself. All that hope was gone now. He felt her hand on his knee and braced himself for some pain "AHHHHHHHHHHH!" His second yell of pain for the night.
After this act was done, he looked her in the eye "Hello fair-" *Cough* Cut off before he could say lady. That didn't matter right now. He wanted to say I didn't need your help, like an attempt to save face. She helped him though and he owed her "Thank you" He said in a whisper.

Aubrey sighed. "Don't thank me Michael, this is in some way partly my fault." She ripped the bottom of her tee shirt and wrapped the cloth around his knee. "That should make it easier for you to walk."
She leaned back and looked at him. He was lucky. It could have been much worse. Sevanni would have kept blundering him had she not stepped in. She attempted a smile. "You know better than to think I am a fair lady."

Pride was being hurt when Aubrey bandaged up his wounded knee, but he was happy, he could not even stand before. He just wondered if Aubrey would think any less of him. He liked her, he doesn't fully understand how he feels about her but there was something there. His mind once again drifted to Sevanni, the vampire who robbed him of his pride not that long ago.
He leaned hard against thewall while attempting to get back up. It was still hard to stand but much easier than before. He looked at Aubrey, the way she helped him, you would think she was his gaurdian angel. "Maybe you are not fair, but maybe I don't know any better" He said with a light smile. He owed her a favour, she may need one some time. In brash and thoughtlessness he whispered these words "I'll get him back"
He knew that Aubrey wouldn't like such an action but he felt that the words needed to be said. He looked her in the eyes again and said "Its not your fault. It was mine"

"You have alot to learn before you could face him again and expect to win." She smiled and gave his shoulder a tender squeeze. "You should know better by now." She smiled. At least he was attempting humor. That was a good sign.
"It was foolishness on both of our parts Micheal." She touched his cheek. "What were you trying to prove?" Sevanni was not someone that you wanted to make an enemy of.

He really did have a lot to learn, but he was too impatient for that. He would instead just assume himself ready for anything. He smiled when she squeezed his shoulder. It was the best thing that happened to him all day. "I missed all my TV shows while out here" A laugh escaped his lips.
When she told him they were both to blame, he felt a little happiness. That means that she doesn't completely blame him for it, though she could just be saying it. Her hand felt nice on his cheek, it may only be a small act but good enough for him. He ignored her question of what he was trying to prove. She knew and he was embarrassed to say. He looked her in the eyes "I did it because of--Its not important" He was still pretty beat up. "I need to restore my energy"

Aubrey looked away from his eyes. She wasn't sure what he might have said, but she had an odd feeling that she could guess. Great. She was turning into Anita Blake. She cleared her throat and looked around. She couldn't very well drag someone over to him.
"Okay. You need to feed. How do you want me to help?" he wasn't going anywhere at the moment, and given the circumstances, sharing her blood was not an option. This was already too difficult as it was. He let himself get clobbered because of her. That would only make matters more difficult.
She looked around. Maybe she could grab a little animal or something. Either way. He had to have blood and he had to have it soon.

Michael did need to feed, desperately. He placed his hand on her shoulder, just to keep himself up. He closed his eyes in exhaustion "I can't very well drink from the air love" He didn't mean it the way it came out. He was irritated with Sevanni. There didn't seem to be any humans around at all "Well this is a real pickle isn't it?"
She was so close to him, insticts told him to just bite her, but of course the man that lives inside the monster wouldn't allow that. "DAMN! I really hate Paris!!!!" Once again he was lashing out at Sevanni without speaking his name. He wanted to slit the mans wrist and pour the blood into a glass, drink that.
He looked Aubrey in the eye "What do you suggest we do love?"

Aubrey growled in frustration. She couldn't just leave him here like this, not even to go find an animal. Anger seethed from her skin. She should leave him here and let the sun urn him alive. She pushed up her sleeve.
"I know this is going to bite me in the ass later." She held her arm out to his face, pressing her wrist to his lips. "Justdo it Michael."

As she held out her wrist, a whole lot of things went through his mind. Should he drink it? Should he just say(Yeah I'm helpless I need you to survive) Right now though, his top priority was survival. He opened his mouth and his fangs came out, but before he drank, he had to say something "I owe you a drink kid"
He bit into her wrist, drinking her blood, maybe he would see something while drinking from her. He just cared about getting back in tip top condition.

Aubrey closed her eyes and waited. Yeah, you sure do. She hissed softly when his fangs sank into her wrists. Euphoria swept through her. Memories of sharing blood with Chloe filled her head.
The pink dress she was wearing, the way her hair felt like silk when Aubrey dug her fingers into it. Chloe's delicate hands wrapped arounf her neck. Aubrey moaned softly. As another flashed slammed into her. Her body wrapped in Shaden's as his face nestled into her neck. They way his hands seemed to be touching her everywhere.
She wanted him to stop, but at the same time her memories were flooding her filling her with intense need and longing. Seh was suddenly pressed against Xavier. She was naked and beads of water dripped off of her skin she she clung to Xavier and took his blood to heal herself.
Aubrey moaned again and pressed herself against Michael, entwining her fingers into his hair.

As he tasted her blood on his tongue, he could see flashes. If he was at 100% he could probably see these images as a film. This wasn't the case, he struggled to see anything clearly. He saw images of Chloe, Shaden and Xavier, the order was jumbled and it seemed to switch back and fourth for him. The brought a slight pain to his head. Nothing serious but enough to feel a shock.
The images eemed to disturb Michael. Since his mind wasn't calm it could be seriously effecting how he see's everything. He didn't like Chole one bit, he didn't like Shaden either, but he liked Aubrey. So he thought these images were like nightmares. He knew that Aubrey was not quite right, her thoughts seemed to be all over the place. If he could see all this, then he dreaded the idea of ever having to share his blood.
He bit in harder, trying to get more blood. He could just be greedy. As she gripped his hair, he felt the images grow stronger in her head, the feeling was so intense that he wondered if the memories he was seeing now were replacing his own, so in great fear, he pulled away after an unusual long bite.

Aubrey gasped as he pulled away. Her breathing was out of control and she crawled away from Michael. She cuddled in a little all and began to cry. Sharing blood had never been anything like that. She had took blood from Xavier to heal her wounds, she shared blood with Chloe to share power, and she shared blood with Shaden because she had loved him.
Aubrey cringed away from Michael, embarrassed and ashamed. She didn't know why she felt so badly. The images were still flashing through her head. She began rocking back and forth, clinging to herself and squeezing her eyes shut. She wanted Shaden and she meekly cried out to him.

When he pulled away he felt an unpleasant migraine come on. He held at his head trying to focus, but right now all he could see where white flashes and loud noises. He placed both hands on a wall to keep him held up before the effects wore off. He still had those images in his head and he didn't like them, he didn't even know if they were real.
The pain slowly but surely began to drift away, leaving him with a clear head. When he turned he saw Aubrey having a panic attack or light fit. He hadn't even noticed this with the migraine he had. He wasn't sure what to do, he thought she hated him. When he heard her cry out for Shaden, a small part of him wanted to go find him and bring him here. He was probably back in London. He kept his stance where he was and looked over to Aubrey "You ok kid?"
