Jinxx opens her mouth, closes it again before looking around the room. Everything is out of order except for one thing, her back pressing against the chest of her mate. Amos was lying on the couch, his cheek resting against the cushion. His cheeks have a slight pinkish tint to them.
Tor writhes in pain on the floor, his eyes darting beneath his eyelids. Soft groans escape from his lips, stained red from the vampire's blood he had chugged. His eyes stop darting beneath his eyelids, his breathing returns to normal. He has passed out from all the pain his body was forcing him to experience. Jinxx's eyes dart to Amos, "I didn't know you long but it was interesting..."
Jinxx's voice trails off, Blaze's arm tightens around her.
Star's gaze is set on Amos, who's eyes are drifting close. Star's lips flutter as she whispers her final goodbye. Amos' chest ceases movement, he's dead. A thin trickle of blood from his mouth rolls down his cheek. A tear makes its way down Star's cheek, dripping from her chin onto Amos.
There was nothing they could do to save him, his skim was warm to the touch. At that precise moment, Tor shots up. His eyes wide, blood red irises. He screams out, "Anima, who's forte vivere. Vital dedit. Nescienter."
((Translation: The soul, for the chance to live. He gave his life. Unknowingly.)
Star and Jinxx share a look. They were vampires almost as old as time itself, they knew the language Tor had just spoken. It was Latin. They each knew enough to figure out what he had said, after all they all had the same teacher. Accius.
Accius was long dead, but he had been the one to take in the young vampires. No one else would take the first Turned children. They were terrified the kids would kill them out of fear. Accius was over 5,000 years old when he took them in, he had been around when Latin was the only language still spoken.
Star opens her mouth and almost jokingly says, "Seems like Tor remembers Ace's lessons."
Tor blood red eyes look around. His voice is weak and raw, "I-i I'm alive..."
Star grins at Tor, "Congrats you made it, Tor."
Tor's eyes locked on Star, "It's nice to be back...did I miss him ?"
Star's eyebrows knitted in confusion and then she realized something. Tor didn't know what he had said. Star licked her lips before talking, "Tor... do you remember what you said when you first woke?"
Tor's eyebrows knitted in confusion and he shook his head. He opened his mouth, "I was saying I'm alive. That's all."
Star shook her head, her eyes darted to Jinxx before turning back to Tor, "You were speaking in Latin. Do you remember Ace's lessons?"
Tor shook his head once again, "That was decades ago, Star."
Star's eyebrow rose, "Well that's not what it sounded like. You literally shouted in Latin, Tor."
Tor sighed and glanced around, "I... I don't know any Latin. I don't remember it, Star."
Jinxx spoke up, "Well truth alert Tor, you did shout in Latin. We all heard it, Tor."
A knock interrupted the conversation. Blaze looked up, growled softly. His voice hard, "What the heck is he doing here?"
