Terezi successfully made it to the kitchen without being mangled or worse, noticed. She then noticed Tassek had been cowering behind the counter this entire time. Shit. He was as scared as he was.

Spyders turned. Well looks like that was taken care of. "Awe, now don't hide from me again Terezi. I just want to talk." He moved forward and into the home.

🌀

Tassek stared up at her, the knife trembling in his hands. "I-Is he coming?" he whispered.

Outside, Zane was pacing with his hand on his mouth, trying to think of a way to help indirectly. He could always call the police, but that would probably lead to more innocent deaths. No one could physically defeat a vampire of his experience and strength. Maybe if he caused a panic they could get out in the commotion. This seemed like the most logical course of action. People were starting to give him weird looks.

She looked down a him. "No matter happens, do not let him near you." She quietly spoke to him.

"Oh there you are!" Spyders immeditly grabbed Terezi before she could react by the wrist. "Now what's this about you keeping a human around." He glanced at her neck. "And I see you've tried covering them up again." He reached over and rubbed a bit of makeup off her neck with his free hand to revealing a small bite mark scars, the color of the makeup rubbing off onto his hands. Clearly Spyders hadn't noticed Tassek yet.

🌀

He froze. Would he be noticed if he tried to move? This would definitely happened if he stayed where he was for much longer, so he tried to scoot backwards along the kitchen tiles towards the door, as quickly and silently as he could manage.

Zane reentered the lobby of the building and approached a fire alarm. The security guard was eyeing him. Maybe this wasn't the best idea. ......

"Now honestly what am I going to do with you." Spyders glanced over and saw the male try to crawl away like the helpless worm he was. "Oh. Is that him? I have no idea what you see in these mortals, but honestly, he is a certainly a new low."

"Don't touch him!" Terezi snapped. Though the fear was laced in her voice. "This doesn't involve him. Let him go."

"I honestly think I can do whatever the hell I want Terezi."

2015-04-11 22:03:38

🌀

He'd be offended if he wasn't so scared. He raised the knife shakily. "St-stay away...f-from..." Then the fire alarm went off, blaringly loud, and the sprinklers along with it. There were shouts from other apartments as the sleeping tenants were woken up with an unexpected shower. He stared in shock up at the ceiling as his hair was plastered over his eye.

Zane ran for it. That had most definitely been illegal.

2015-04-11 22:08:29

●

Spyders let go of the girl, walked towards the male- and the fire sprinklers had gone off. Fuck, he couldn't do much now without royally fucking off. He took one more glance at Terezi. "Next time, my pet." He growled before promptly fucking off.

The second Spyders left, Terezi rushed to his side. "Are you alright?" She asked, still shaken from what just happened.

2015-04-11 22:14:40

🌀

He seemed on the verge of passing out, but the streaming water kept him awake and some measure of alert. "I....I think so?" The knife fell to the floor with a clatter and he wiped his hair out of his face. He was very confused. Were vampires hurt by water too? Or maybe it was loud noises. Why had he left? Not that he wasn't grateful for it.

2015-04-11 22:22:56

●

Good. He was okay. Tassek was alright. He wasn't passing out on the spot. He wasn't-

She immediately grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Not enough to hurt him, but for reassurance that he was in fact, okay.

It was only for a brief moment before she let go however. "Lets get out of here before something worse happens."

2015-04-11 22:27:39

🌀

His head completely emptied of his worried questions for the moment as he sat there in shock. When she let go he wasn't sure if he'd imagined the whole thing. "....uh...okay." He picked up the knife and returned it to the block on the counter, still a little speechless. "Are...are you okay?"

2015-04-11 22:35:56

●

Terezi thought for a moment. "Yeah. I'm fine. A bit shaken, but fine." Could the loud buzzing shut the fuck up for five minutes? She looked at the door. "Lets just...get out of here."

2015-04-11 22:39:33

🌀

He peeled off his sweater, heavy with water, and tied it around his waist. "...that's probably a good idea." He had a collared shirt and tie on underneath, as he'd originally been expecting to have a job interview for a paper route. Obviously that hadn't gone as he'd expected. "Where would we go, though?"

2015-04-11 22:46:00

●

Terezi stood there in silence. Where could they go? Staying here was a terrible idea. Spyders was going to eventually come back, and next time it will probably be much worse. She rubbed the bite mark on her neck. If there was once place she didn't want him touching, it was there. She hated everything about that area. Everything about him.

"I don't know, really."

2015-04-11 22:51:32

🌀

He thought about it. There weren't many places he went himself, aside from here, his own apartment, school, and the library. "We could go to my apartment. I don't think he knows where that is."

2015-04-11 22:57:47

●

"That...actually sounds like a good idea." Obviously Spyders didn't know where Tassek lived. Unless Cale fucked up once more and told him, they should be fine. Then again, it was probably how he found her in the first place.

2015-04-11 23:01:27

🌀

He smiled just a little, happy that he'd had a decent idea. "Well then, let's go. Unless he's still outside." He squeezed out a sleeve of his sweater.

2015-04-11 23:05:28

●

"He's gone. Trust me." She opened the now broken door for Tassek. "After you." Obviously Terezi couldn't give two shits about her being soaked. She acted as if it didn't even bother her.

2015-04-11 23:07:26

🌀

Backwards chivalry. Okay then. He went into the hallway as the sprinklers finally turned off and glanced backwards to make sure she was coming before heading for the stairwell. "Are you sure you aren't cold?"

2015-04-11 23:13:54

●

Sure enough, Terezi followed him to the stairwell. She couldn't help but laugh at the cold comment. "Tassek I've been dead for over two hundred years. The only time I ever feel the slightest bit of heat change is when the sun is out, and that's because I'm slowly dying."

2015-04-11 23:16:53

🌀

His eyes widened as he glanced out the window. "Wait, the sun's out. Maybe getting to my apartment isn't worth you slowly dying." He thought it was a sort of limbo state, not literally 'undead'. Huh. But anyway, the sunrise might screw everything over for their escape, though it also meant Spyders couldn't come back for now.

2015-04-11 23:22:37

●

She looked out the window too. "Huh. You're right." The sun was out. Yep, it wasn't worth dying over. "You should probably get home,at least. I'm sure you're safe there."

2015-04-11 23:25:56

🌀

He looked worriedly at her. "Are you sure? He might come back for you with an umbrella or something...it's not that hard to block out sunlight, really."

2015-04-11 23:27:44

●

She shook her head. "Don't worry about me. You just need to be somewhere safe. I can handle him." She has before.

2015-04-11 23:28:49

🌀

"...well, if you're sure..." He opened the door to the staircase, looked at her one more time, and then went down to the lobby, where all the inhabitants of the building barring one were standing around in their pajamas and the security guards were yelling about a blonde tall guy with a guitar pulling the alarm and running. Okay, so maybe that guy wasn't so bad after all. He avoided the subway and instead walked the entire way back, staying in the sunlight both to dry himself off and for protection.

2015-04-11 23:31:12

●

Terezi watch as the descended into the lobby. It looked like they had come down just as the police and fire department were finishing up. Once again she rubbed her neck, and returned back to her apartment.
