When they Whisper

Nightfall

Vincents POV

~That night~

The night air felt great on my face. Especially with my adrenaline pumping. I paced down the side walk quickly. I had to hurry before Scarlet notices I'm gone.

I was right, that promise I made to Scarlet might be to hard to keep. I needed to satisfy these urges somehow. Before you ask, no I'm not killing anything. Or anyone. I simply... Rough them up a bit. Nothing that wont heal.

I smile at tonights victory. I giggle to myself thinking, oh his confidence must be shot now. I've never seen such a pitiful excuse of a man. His blood wasn't even a nice shade of red.

I clutch my fist and felt my knuckles throb. All of this beating is making them sore and scabbed. I was getting close to my home. Scarlet should be in bed.

As i got closer i noticed the kitchen light was on.

Scarlets POV

The spirits were back, playing around the house. Just like they always do when Vincent isn't around. The small blonde one came up to me and looked at me sadly.

"What's wrong?" I ask. He sighs and looks down.

"He is out there right now, setting his future in stone, you know that right?" He raised his eyes back up to me woefully. I looked at him with worry.

"What do you mean? He isn't killing anyone is he?"

"No... But he is feeding his urges instead of fighting them."

"What does that-"

Before I could finish my sentence, the door creaked open and all of the ghost disappeared. Vincent peeked in through the door. He smiled at me like he did something wrong, which i know he did.

"Hey Scar, why are you still up? Shouldn't you be in bed?" Vincent asked taking his shoes off at the door.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"Fair point."

He continued to make his way over to me. I felt dread rise from the pit of my stomach. I clutched the counter.

"You okay babe? Your looking rather pale," Vincent asked placing his hand on mine. "Your so tense."

I looked down at his hand and saw his busted knuckles. I felt like vomiting. He must've noticed me looking and yanked it away. I felt absolutely sick.

"Where have you been?" I asked, feeling the dread and anger raise. I watched his eyes flick to me and his face fell. He crossed his arms and leaned on the counter. He looked expressionless for a second. Suddenly his eyes became cold and laced with the blood lust. A smirk crept onto his lips.

"My dear rose, does it bother you that much?" His eyes were unmoved from mine. He moved closer to me and touched my cheek. I flinched slightly and responded.

"You have been worrying me lately and I think I have the right to know." The words came out more shaky then planned. He smiled at me and slipped his hand onto my back and rubbed it.

"Aw your such a sweetheart, you shouldn't worry about me. I just needed a late night walk that's all." He kissed my cheek and hugged me from behind.

"Then what happened to your hands?" I asked placing my hands on top of his. He was silent for a second but finally responded.

"I seen some jerk roughing up someone else so i stepped in." He tangled his fingers with mine. "Don't worry baby im ok it will heal." He said kissing my neck.

I felt all my anxiety go away. I don't know why i was so worried. I turned around to face him and his eyes were still filled with blood lust. My heart began racing and i bit my lip.

Vincents POV

Good. She believes me. I brushed my hand against her face and i seen the look in her eyes. As long as i let her keep thinking that I am just as innocent as before, she will stay. And that's all i want. I kissed her passionately.

"Good night Scarlet," I said as i pulled away. She grabbed my hand and gave me that look again. I smiled. "Cmon baby."

Hunters POV

"Chase, can you move any faster?" I asked impatiently. I wanted to bolt off running, but Chase was taking his time. I didn't want to wait another to day to be where i needed to be.

"Hunter, chill out dude. We will get there no matter what pace we go at." He said kicking a rock at me. "Besides, you don't have to wait on me you know."

"Well you helped me escape, and you came with me. So it would be rather rude to leave you here alone."

"Like a criminal should care about being rude."

I half laughed to myself. I didn't really like being called a criminal. The word didn't really seem to fit me that well. Even though i am one.

I started thinking about Scarlet again. I love her so much. I am so close to seeing her again. I want to wrap her in my arms and kiss her soft rosy cheeks. This day dreaming went on for a while. I couldn't help myself.

Suddenly, i felt Chase hit my shoulder. I glared at him but soon realized why he did it.

We made it.
