"Here" the tall vampire woman spoke softly, wrapping her cloak around the deer girl, shivering as she sunk into the cotton fabric.
They were sat in Valencia's safe house.
It was pretty empty, the girls that were there at the time upstairs sleeping.
"Thank you" the woman whispered, her eyes gleaming in awe of the vampire infront of her.
The deer woman, Silver Deer, had shoulder length night sky blue hair with little strands of white mixed in. Three single yellow stars under her own bright yellow eyes. Her tan skin was soft, scars up the back of her legs and all over her feet too.
Her chest was slightly exposed, not wearing a shirt or pants, only a silk kind of skirt thing wrapped around her waist, now Valencia's cloak over her shoulders, pulling it over her body and snuggling into it, twitching her nose.
"... So, would ya tell me your name?" Valencia sits back into her armchair, taking a deep long breath, before scratching her chin "If you don't want to then... I'll make one up for ya. Of course, that is if you don't mind."
The deer says nothing, her lip quivering, her hands snaking around a mug of hot chocolate.
"... I... Don't want to..."
Valencia nods, rubbing her jaw and resting her arms on the chair arms, sinking into the cushions for a while, staring at her, taking in her little features.
Especially the stars under her eye.
And the night sky hair.
"Little Star" the vampire speaks up after a while.
"What?"
"I'll call ya Little Star" Valencia smirks, raising an eyebrow "If that's okay with ya."
"..." Star pauses, opening her mouth to speak, but quietening down "I... I... I guess so. Yes."
Valencia nods "Good."
They're sat in silence for a while, Valencia looking around and mouthing to the younger girl by the door for her to go to bed. Little Darla!
Star whips her head around, her hair falling in her face as she does so, pulling her legs up to her chest and snapping her head back to look at Valencia.
"You said I'd be safe-"
"Ya are" Valencia begins, yawning and touching her fangs for a moment, thinking "Those are the other girls I'm keeping safe. Unfortunately, alot of gal's are needing protecting."
"... What does that mean? What about... Boys?"
"I can't expose the location of the males safe house. Just like nobody can expose the location of the female safe house. It's the rules."
Star blinks "Rules..."
"Rule number one, no exposing locations of safe houses if you find them out. There are three in this region. The males, the females and the childrens" Valencia explains "As ya guessed, ya in the female one."
The blue head nods, glancing over her shoulder back at where the young girl was "... Shouldn't... She be in the childrens...?"
"She is scared of other children. Only connects with older women."
"I... I see..."
She smirks "Well, ya safe now. If ya would like to speak about what has happened... What brought ya here... Ya can" she shrugs it off as nothing as she sips a glass of what seems to be a red substance.
Obviously blood.
But it isn't human blood.
Star gulps as she glances at the glass "I... Thought you'd kno-"
"I do."
They go silent again, Valencia eyeing Star, intrigued.
"Then why do you-"
"I want to see whether ya wanna talk about it or not. We save gals we think are in need, and clearly, by the state ya were in. Ya were in need."
"..." Star winces, rubbing her arm "I-I know... She loves me... I love her t-
"She doesn't love ya."
Star snaps her head up, her eyes widening slightly "Wh-What?... But... No... No she does!"
"No. No she don't, Star" Valencia groans softly, placing her glass down and moving closer to Star, crouching infront of her.
Star tears up, blinking as she stares up at the ceiling, refusing to listen to Valencias soft voice asking her to look at her.
"Star... If she loved ya, she wouldn't of locked ya in ya room. Made fun of ya, caused ya to... Hurt" she hesitantly grabs her hand, turning her hand over to look at the back of it, looking at all the burn scars on her arms.
"I'm assuming ya did this to yourself. She didn't, did she?-"
"NO! N-no he... She didn't..." she quietly admits, running her fingers over the small scar bumps.
The brunette nods, clasping Stars hands in hers, planting a soft and delicate kiss on her scarred skin "Ya safe here... I promise. She can't get ya here. I know ya think she loves ya, but you need to remind yaself, ya deserve better than to be treated like this."
Star chokes out a sob, quickly pulling her hands infront of her mouth.
Valencia shuffles back, moving her hands and resting them ontop of her knees "Love hurts... But not like that, Star. Love... Hurts ya heart... In a 'I love them so much I'd do anything for them' not a 'I need to change and hurt myself' way..."
Star listens in silence, moving her hands to her neck, wincing "I-I... We were go-gonna raise our child together... She... She... She never hurt me... Physically... Only once-"
"Star... Darlin' we'll protect ya here. Nobody will ever lay a hand on ya again, aright?" Valencia promises, gently taking hold of her hand and kissing it "Ya don't have to trust me... But trust this safe house, alright?"
Star nods slowly, her fringe falling in her eyes as she shakily stands up, running her hands up and down her arms.
"Come, I'll show ya, ya room" The vampire woman smirks "Welcome to the Safe House."

Star plops herself down on her bed.
It was quite a small room, a pale pink coloured wall, a queen sized bed with pink and white floral patterned covers, the curtains plain white.
A white closet in the corner next to some white shelves, a few books and a music box placed there.
Stars little bag with few things inside was dropped abruptly by the door by her.
She lays back into the bed, closing her eyes as she sinks into the mattress, the soft feeling so comforting on her bare skin.
She turns around, laying on her front as she looks around, up at the painting of a sunrise above her bed.
She slowly pulls herself up, opening the closet and blinking in surprise as it reveals silky white pajamas with floral patterns on.
She takes hold of it, slipping off her skirt, standing there bare naked as she touches the silk, her eyes widening.
She never knew something could feel this soft and comforting, so gentle against her skin.
She unbuttoned the shirt, slipping it on and buttoning it up all the way, adjusting the collar and frowning as she pulls the bottoms on too.
It was quite long and baggy for her small body, but she looked adorable, a small smile coming across her lips.
"... Pretty..." she whispers as she rests her hand on her stomach "I hope... You grow up liking clothes like th-"
"Sorry" a squeak is heard from under the bed.
Star jumps and screams, panicked as she hears the sudden noise, backing up into the closet, blinking rapidly as she watches a little girl crawl out from under the bed.
She looked about eight years old.
She had long curly black hair tied into messy plaits and pale almost white skin, big brown eyes, quite a small body.
She wore similar pyjamas to Star, except they had red, pink and white floral patterns.
Valencia threw the door open, gun in hand, holding it to her chest "STAR WHA-"
"I-I'm sorry" the little girl, Darla, squeaks.
Valencia sighs loudly, putting her gun away as she paces over to her, picking her up and putting her on her hip, tutting quietly.
"I'm sorry for that... Darla don't like strangers, guess she just wanted to know more about ya?" she rolls her eyes, but flashes Star a nervous smile "Darla ain't no harm."
Star slowly nods, hugging herself tightly, glancing at the window.
Valencia notices her gaze and raises an eyebrow as the young girl hides her face in her neck "Ah, don't ya worry about that... The windows are bullet proof. Also constantly locked from the inside, ya safe. Right... Ya should get some rest. It's really late! Sleep well."
The door closes after Valencia steps outside with the little girl.
Star silently steps to the door, pressing her ear to the wood.
'Darla, honey, ya ain't meant to-'
'I-I just wanted to know... I thought she l-looked familiar'
There's silence.
'... Did ya recognise her?'
'No'
'Lets get ya to bed'
The deer woman steps back, sighing shakily as she closes the curtains, crawling into the bed and curling up slightly, gasping in surprise as she sinks into the pillows, letting out a small giggle.
"I... Didn't know things were this soft?" she whispers to herself, throwing her arms out, squirming around in her bed as she squeals quietly.
Excited like a little child who got given ice cream.
She eventually settles down, her eyes becoming droopy as she pulls the covers over her, touching her antlers and frowning slightly as she lays on her back, yawning.
"This... Isn't... Too bad... I think?" she whispers, scratching her nose, then moving her hand to her stomach "... Goodnight baby..."

The vampire wife opens the door quietly a few hours into the night, glancing at Star.
She always checks up on the girls while they're sleeping, to make sure they're safe. Never goes in unless they haven't got a blanket on, which she goes in, puts a blanket on them and leaves.
She smiles sweetly as she realises she's sleeping, turning the night light on.
"Goodnight, Little Star."
