L'appel du vide

{''« Meraki Chapter Two »''}

At least 2 weeks had past. Semira had died, Selene defeated Marius and became a new type of hybrid. Angell had some how gotten involved into the fight at the coven. Her wounds were caused by Lycans, the wounds from Semira had healed from the blood she received. Her Lycan wounds showed pretty clearly. She couldn’t use her other side from all the vampires around, which led to her being weaker.

She let out a grunt, pushing the door open. The entrance of her new house was like a cave, two spruce doors as the entrance. She closed them behind her, blood trailing down her body. Her hands shakingly above her pelvic bone, almost resting on her hip. She let out a loud whimper as she pulled the shirt which was wrapped around the wound off slowly. She gasped, feeling the wound open a lil wider. She cursed out loud, biting down roughly on her bottom lip. She stared down at the wide wound on her pelvic bone, close to her right hip. “Always the right..” She spat out, stumbling over to the bathroom. She opened the cabin behind the mirror, pulling out a med kit. She slammed it shut, pulling her pants down slightly to get a better sight at the wound. She breathed heavily, placing her hands firmly on the sink. She placed her head against the mirror. “Cmon, you got this.” She tried to distract herself from the pain. “Everything or nothing.” She said with a wince quickly following. Her bones were shaking, Angell trying to ignore. Her eyes shot open, being the eletric blue color. She breathed heavily, almost in a panting way. Her fangs extended, almost leaning against the sink. She moved her head away to look to the direction of the entrance, hearing the doors swing open.

She spotted Val and Kelin, watching Kelin quickly appear in front of the bathroom door, moving her off the sink. “Fuck-” She grunted in pain, feeling him move her quickly. He immediately went slower when he walked her to the sofa. “The one time I decide to leave you be with Semira!” He hissed, his eyes the same color as hers. “I can’t-” Val interrupted her. “You need to keep still, your really hurt.” He had a worried tone, rushing over. She immediately did as he said, trying her best to keep still. “I thought you were with Haro or safe.” Kelin looked at her wound, moving her hand from it. The two stared, Angell scoffing. “It’s a Lycan scratch. Scratches don’t turn you if it’s a Lycan..” She quickly added on. “That’s not the point. If it was a bite, you could’ve died. I’m still confused how you aren’t screaming.” Kelin almost shouted. “Don’t shout at her for something she can’t help.” Val growled. “I’m not shouting at her, I’m just angry.” He quickly replied, kneeling down. “Go get her a shirt as well.” Kelin mentioned. “I didn’t even-” Val looked. “Oh-” He murmured, walking off, suddenly stopping. “Why are you allowed to look?” He asked. “Because I’m her-” Kelin stopped himself. “Oh, get off me, pathetic men.” She hissed, whimpering when she lifted herself off. She walked with a slight limp to her room. She grabbed a cropped shirt, slowly putting it on. She walked back out, sitting on the sofa when she got close to it. “See?! It was just me in a bra.” She groaned out. “Yeah but you know.” Kelin stared at Val. “I don’t want him staring at you, your like my daughter.” Kelin muttered to her. “I’m a mommy’s girl.” She smiled, trying to lighten the mood. “I’m not gonna stare at her though-” Val mentioned, standing behind the sofa and behind Angell. Kelin glared at Val, squinting his eyes slightly. “Yeah, you won’t. Either way, you both know he won’t see you like that, again.” Kelin smiled. “Obviously.” The two sighed. “Plus-” She stopped herself, eyes widening slightly. “Plus what?” Kelin purposely asked, knowing what it was, having a smirk.

Her cheeks suddenly went red, Val not noticing. Kelin chuckled. “Are you embarrassed?” He cooed whilst cleaning the blood. “Shut up, old man!” She groaned, using her hands to cover her cheeks. “I’m only a decade older than you, missy.” He looked at her. “How old are you?” Val looked down at her. She looked up at him, squinting her eyes slightly when she thought. “Centuries old.” She murmured, grabbing his hands. “You feeling okay?” She had a gentle tone again, moving one of the hands to her cheek, close to her mouth. “I will bite you if I get hurt.” She joked, moving it away from her mouth. “Yeah, don’t do that, bat.” He chuckled. “Surprised you didn’t call me mangy bat.” She joked, using her hand to interlock their fingers, almost playing with their hands. Val watched, Angell using it to distract herself. She felt a needle sink into her skin, immediately whimpering out and moving forward to push Kelin backwards. “My god, do you not know how to use them?!” She shouted, Val moving his hands away. “I do but, your skin is sensitive to needles or something because you had no care about the alcohol I put on.” Kelin sighed. “Well I was busy playing with Val’s hand.” She muttered. Kelin looked at Val. “Do you know how to do this?” Val looked when Kelin spoke. “...” He didn’t respond, looking to Angell. “I’ll help you. Kelin is too rough.” She said in a sarky tone, Kelin going to the kitchen to get a blood bag. Val kneeled in front of her, grabbing the needle and stitches. Angell moved her hand to his wrist, moving the needle to her skin. “Just go slowly.” She said under her breath, wincing when the needle went under her skin and leaving it. She gripped the black soft sofa’s arm tightly to hold herself back from growling. She let out a slight whimper now and then. He tightened the stitches slightly. “There you go.” She looked to her hand, still seeing it on his wrist. Val used his free hand to grab a bandage. “You need to stand.” He said under his breathe. “Not really, just wrap it around.” She lifted her arms and moved her back off the sofa. Val slowly nodded, staring at the wound. He moved in between her opened legs, slowly wrapping the bandage around her. She lifted herself up slightly so he could get her pelvic bone properly. He smiled when he finished. “You did good, I’m proud of you.” She said in a praising way. “Did you think of what you want..?” He asked. She thought, slowly shaking her head. “It would hurt.” She murmured. “It would but, it could be easier for you to hide it.” He tried to help with her decision. “That’s not the point. I was strong as a pure born but-” Kelin choked on the blood. “Pure born?!” He exclaimed. “I forgot about that-” He whispered, Angell barely hearing. “How did you know and not tell me?” She said, a bit upset. “Never mind..” She huffed, looking to Val. “But, I’m stronger as a hybrid. I can take hellhounds on easily, you know that..” Her eyebrows lowered slightly. Val moved his head into the crook between her neck and shoulder, wrapping her arms around her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him back. “I’m really sorry about that still.” She sighed when he said this, feeling his ears on her neck. She smiled at the feeling. “You don’t need to apologise. It gives me an excuse to yell at Damon easier..” She murmured. “No, he’ll hurt you.” He chuckled. “Tough. Taking advantage of mine and Lucian’s relationship like that.” She huffed. “You and him were just friends..” Val sighed. “I grew up with Lucian. Some of his lycans still refuse to hurt me.” She whispered to him, not wanting Kelin to hear.
