!shelved, day 21, location: clock tower, open, remus lupin, selene

Who: Selene, Remus and OTA.
What: Vampires, werewolves and zombies, oh my?
Where: The clock tower.
When: Day 21, around 1pm.
Rating: R for violence.
Status: Active.

At the first mention of guns Selene had it in her mind to go searching. She didn't care what kind they were, so long as they were in working order and had ammunition she would be happy. That smell that filled the air bothered her something fierce but eventually she pushed it aside and left the safety of the rooftops. She had been reading, and while zombies certainly weren't anything she imagined as real she was somewhat familiar with the lore. She was a vampire. Of course she was familiar with other undead creatures of myth.

And yes, part of what pushed her to wander further was the somewhat frightened tone she got from the young werewolf.

Thinking about Remus had started to remind her and make her think of Michael, and while that was dangerous in several ways it also kept her thoughts quite far from killing him. Of course, the Doctor had more or less threatened her should she try to harm the werewolf, and though that didn't bother her she knew there were others that cared for the boy as well. And spending part of that day with Rose trying to find somewhere safe for Remus, followed by the chats with Tonks, had fairly erased any thoughts of doing the boy harm from her mind.

It was a fairly straight shot, from the gas station to the clock tower. At least going through the forest it was, and that was the path the vampire had taken. She ran at an accelerated rate until she was within sight of buildings and then slowed slightly, only dropping down to a human walk when she was within a few yards of the clock tower. The vampire wasn't worried about anyone seeing her and wondering at her speed. That, and she imagined they might hold back questions given her new accessories.

The shotgun from the gas station rested easily against one shoulder, the box of ammo safely inside one of her coat pockets. One of the axes was in her other hand. Selene wasn't being greedy, she simply didn't know if anything had popped up at the clock tower and she wanted the boy to have some means to protect himself. If Rose hadn't mentioned the presence of weapons at the gym Selene would have brought her something too. The vampire didn't exactly have many friends and she fully intended to look out for those she did.

That was exactly how he'd taken it. She'd only reacted that way once he'd asked her not to kill the creature, and she had anyway. So, immediately, he'd thought that she was trying to protect him because he was just a child. Then she'd tried to send him away. That had been when he thought she'd been trying to get rid of him, because of the above reasons.

But then she said she didn't want anything to happen to him, and he lowered his eyes to the ground, staring for a long few seconds before they lifted again. "Thank you." For caring enough to not want anything to happen. A little smile formed on his face, when she said that he was the first. "I hope I'm not the last. We're really not bad all the time.. we're just a little furry, sometimes." A little furry and a little murderous.

Selene looked back over at him at his words, and found herself giving him a small smile, even if it didn't quite reach her eyes. "No. No, you're not. Just some werewolves. Some types, perhaps would be better to say." She brushed her hair out of her eyes with her free hand, taking a look around to stay aware of their surroundings. Now that the vampire knew what to look for, she wasn't about to let any other zombies somewhat sneak up on them. "But I suppose we all have our good and bad sides. It's just a matter of which it is that people see and choose to focus on."

Remus let out a slow breath and lowered his eyes briefly, before lifting them back up to her and nodding. "I think you're right." About the good and bad sides, that was. But then, after a moment, he was holding out his hand again, this time allowing her to choose if she wanted to take it or not. "Let's go to the gym. There are others there." And they might need their help-- well, her help. Remus wasn't sure if he'd be doing anything with that axe or not...

She glanced at his hand but didn't hesitate to take it. The vampire told herself she was doing it for the boy's comfort, not for her own. This way she would know exactly where he was... ignoring that her senses were quite capable of telling her that no matter how dark it was, and that he was highly unlikely to go running off on his own.

"That sounds as good a plan as any. We can make sure everyone's safe." More for the well-being of the two of them than because she was actually concerned for the people as a whole. No, so long as they didn't turn into creatures she had to start killing, Selene really didn't care about them, save for a few.

	And I think that's finis! the_five_signs 2009-09-13 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Good." He replied quietly, and keeping hold of her hand, would gently begin tugging her towards the gym. Hopefully, towards others and relative safety. (Reply to this) (Parent)
