Teeth Jenlisa AU

Slayer

Jennie shut her eyes tightly as she sighed in pain and stepped backwards off the ledge onto the roof, not wanting to give the vampire the satisfaction of witnessing her suicide "why won't you leave me alone?".

"I could" Namjoon replied casually, "but that wouldn't be a very satisfying way to end things between us would it, if I simply...left you alone". Jennie looked out over the town again, "and what makes you think I even care about that?". Namjoon leaned against the ledge next to her, taking in the same view, "because I heard that it requires a vampire to satisfy you" he mocked cruelly. "Fuck you!" Jennie spat venomously. The blond smiled arrogantly, "temper temper" he continued to mock and belittle the girl, "I may not be an attractive Thai with plump lips but I'm sure I can be of some use". Jennie turned her head slightly towards the boy, "you know Lisa?".

He nodded slightly, "we met yes, she's a friend you could say of one of my clan members. I tried to recruit her to mine but she wasn't keen on leaving hers". "Her clan is much, much more powerful than yours" the girl replied as she looked back towards the streets, "they'd crush you". Namjoon placed a cigarette between his lips, letting it hang from them as he removed a metal flip-lighter from the inside pocket of his suit jacket, he one hand over the end of the cigarette to protect it from the cold wind as he lit it with the other. "You know I never understood how you guys do that" Jennie said, "vampires don't breathe so how do you smoke?".

Namjoon nodded as he blew the smoke from his mouth, "we can draw air into our lungs and blow it out again but inhaling and exhaling isn't a natural process for us because we don't need to do it, but we can do it manually if we wanted. A lot of newly turned vampires do it a lot to relieve the sensation of suffocating. You know that feeling you get when you hold your breath for too long and that desperate need to gasp for air? We feel that all the time, you get used to it eventually".  

"What was he like?" Jennie asked as she turned around so her back was leaning against the ledge, looking at the vampire. "Who?" the blond replied. The black haired girl pointed at him, "the man whose body you stole". "Ah" he replied as he also turned himself around, matching Jennie's position, "Kim Namjoon". She nodded. The tall vampire brushed his hair back, "he was intelligent, sociable, a very charitable kind of person. He worked in IT, computers and the like but he was also a keen activist against poverty and in support of equal rights etc. Loved and respected by everyone that knew him, always destined to be a leader" the man drew in smoke and then blew it out again as he flashed Jennie a sinister grin, "just perhaps not in the way he would have expected". 

That's all Jennie needed to hear to bury any existing thoughts that Lisa might be anything more than an evil demon. She wondered what the Thai was like before she was killed and turned into a vampire. On seconds thoughts, maybe she'd rather not know.

"If your girlfriend and her clan are so dangerous" Namjoon said, interrupting the girl's thoughts, "then why aren't you out there staking them". "I'm not a slayer anymore" she replied, "didn't you get the memo?". Namjoon smiled, "I did actually, I was there when they fired you. But all that means is that you don't work for the Order anymore. Being a slayer is who you are, it's what you are, that doesn't go away because you left the Order any more than I would stop being a vampire if I left my clan". "I'm here to kill myself " Jennie said without emotion, "I'm not a slayer, I have no reason to fight anymore. No reason to live".

The vampire flicked his cigarette stub over the ledge and onto the street below, "what if I gave you a reason" he said confidently, "what if I told you something about your former employers?". Jennie sighed, "more games Namjoon? Can you really not see that I just don't care anymore?".
