Go ahead and play dead, I know that you can hear this, Why can't you turn and face me
this day again. just once i'd like to go back to it being a day i didn't have to try and survive without losing more of myself to the room in my head where no one's allowed to go. but that would be worse, to have it back for one day, only to lose it again. i couldn't sleep today, and i don't think i'll sleep tonite. i'm afraid the dreams will come

*watches the pain flash in his eyes enough to make him turn away*
there, right there i hurt you again.
*moves back into his line of sight and grabs his chin, making him look at her*
lie to yourself all you want, but i do know what i'm talking about, and you know it.
*softens her grip at what she sees and moves closer, setting the axe down and reaching up with her other hand to cup his face, speaks quietly*
i know it hurts baby, and i'm sorry. i warned you that i am not good company tonite, you should've just listened.
*lets go of his face and steps back, picking the axe up again and turning from him*
go home to your wife, Ralph. all you'll get from me tonite is pain and trouble you don't need.

What Ev? I ain't ly..you ain't hurtin me.
*standin there tryin to stay in control, even though when she says she knoe I believe her*
You're such an expert on me now? What makes you think I'm hurting. She was my bartender, she's dead. End of story.
*she lets go and picks the axe back up*
I ain't goin anywhere, Ev.

You can say her name all you want. I don't know what you think you saw or know aside from someone I knew dyin on that field, but a lot of people died that day.
*watches as tear spring to her eyes only to turn to rage as she spouts out a lot of shit. she backs me into a tree. She whisperin in my ear, I grab her by the wrist and spin us so her back is up against the tress. through gritted teeth*
I'm here cause you're in bad shape. Obviously you're dealin with loosin someone. I'm tryin to be a friend. That include not lettin you do somethin stupid to fuck up your life.
*letting her go walkin away puttin a little distance between us*
Reply
oooh, you want it rough, baby?
*growls and lets her eyes flash red at the fucking up her life comment*
and who the hell made you my keeper? i didn't ask you to follow me, and i didn't ask you to make sure i don't do something stupid. i'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.
*pushes off of the tree and picks her axe back up*
go back to your safe little world on the good ship denial and leave the messy reality to those of us that can handle it.
*spots movement out of the corner of her eye and sees a Jla'jda demon lurking across the street, races towards it, throwing her axe at the same time and catching it in it's upper arm*
Reply
Jesus fuck, Wait Ev!
*she only catches it in the arm and looses her axe at the same time. The Jla'jda comes chargin at her*
Look out for his claws, they got poison on 'em.
*catchin up to her pushin her out of the way, catchin the claws across his side. Fallin to the ground.*
Reply
god damnit, Ralph! you should've stayed home!
*lets herself vamp and gets in between the Jla'jda and him, dodging as it takes a swipe at her*
good christ, and you were worried about me?! i'm a fucking vampire, a little poison isn't going to kill me!
*feigns to the left and grabs her axe, yanking it free of the demon's arm and kicking it back away from them*
stay the fuck down and don't you fucking die on me, you hear me?
*storms off after the demon, managing to avoid it's claws when she takes a hit, gets up with a roar and beheads it quickly before jogging back over to Ralph and dropping down next to him*
what the hell were you thinking? jesus!
*sets her axe down and sighs while checking his wounds*
how badly are you hurt?
*looks at his face when he doesn't reply right away*
Ralph? oh fuck me, Ralph?!
*taps his cheeks lightly*
come on, talk to me Ralph...
Reply
*slowly gettin up off the ground. woozy*
And what the hell was I thinkin? Do you know what kind of demon that was? The poison from that thing woulda fucked you up for weeks, babe. Before you go attackin random demon for the fuck off it cause you're in a mood you might wanna do your homework.
*lookin at her like she's nuts*
Is it just cause you're havin a bad day that you're acting like this, or is it the whole "I'm a vamp therfore I'm indestructable bullshit?" Either way its a fuckin stupid way to spend the night.
*lights up a smoke" exhaling looking up at her*
Don't go lookin at me like that. This wasn't your fault. I didn't need to fuckin go play hero. You probably would have figured a way out of it. "side, I'll heal up fast, I always do.

asshole, you shouldn't of jumped in there to begin with!
*reaches over into his pocket and takes his cigarettes, lighting one herself before handing them back*
and you know what? piss off, i needed to work out some anger and i DO know what i'm doing! you don't see any claw marks on me, do you?
*gives him a sideways glance as she exhales*
and i tried to find a better way to spend the evening but you turned me down. at least your pain would've been good then.
*raises an eyebrow*
you're damn straight it's not my fault, i told you to go home but again, you turned me down. really Ralph, i'm going to get a complex if you keep doing that.
Reply
Bitch, that hurt! Hittin an injured man! The fuck?
*smiles to let her know he's kiddin. doesn't gripe when she steals one of his smokes without askin*
The fuckever! You ain't got claw marks cause I pushed your ass outta the way.
*raisin an eyebrow at her*
Ain't you like married or some shit? You really wanna fuck all that up cause of me?
*tries to shrug non chalantly*
I got a thing about watchin women get hurt or killed in front of me. Didn't want to see it happen to you.
*snorts*
You get a complex?
Reply
please, like you're that injured. besides, you like me hitting on you.
*smirks at her word play*
yes, you did push my fabulous ass out of the way, but i still saved yours.
*sighs and leans back onto the grass, looking up at the stars*
the mood i'm in? i'm going to fuck something up and i'd rather have it be with you than some random fuck with a nameless person. but you're right, i'm practically married and it would be badness all around. for you and me both, you're all Mr Hubby now yourself and i shouldn't have put you in that position. but you did good, your wife would be proud for resisting so well.
*looks over at him, resigned*
and i love Michael, i do. so thank you, for not letting me self destruct because i'm in this mood.
*takes a drag off her cigarette and smiles*
by the way? thanks for not wanting to see my oh so fabulous ass dusted.
*crushes her smoke out and rolls her eyes*
not as bad as my crazy sister Eva, but with you always turning me down, i very well could start to get one.
Reply
Yeah you did save mine, thanks.
(flickin my cigarette out into the grass away from them. shruggin*
Heh, theres irony in there somewhere. Used to fuck anything that caught my eye, married, datin, single, on their way to the covent, it didn't matter. Now you're havin a bad night and I'm the safest guy you could be with. And thanks, but I doubt my resistance is gonna amount to much, speakin of which I gotta get cleaned up before I go back. Think you can drive me somewhere?
*lookin at her*
No need to get a complex. If I wasn't where I'm at now, I would definitely find you more than interestin.
And you don't need to point it out so much, I'm well aware your ass is fabulous.
Reply
ah, always a dollar short and a day late. but it's good if you've found some happiness, i hope you find some peace as well.
*holds her look for a minute before rolling onto her stomach and standing up, shaking and brushing the leaves off her butt*
but you could do me a favor and quit turning me down before i start to think you're using your being involved as an excuse and maybe my ass isn't so fabulous anymore. it's been a long time since i've seen it in a mirror.
*turns to look at him when she's done, offers him her hand*
and yeah, come on, hero. i'll give you a ride to wherever you want to go. i somehow think driving is safer for me right now than looking for physical activity to take this mood out on.
Reply
Why do you keep insistin I ain't at peace?
*smilin at her watchin her shake the debris off her clothes. Quietly*
Trust me, Ev. It's got nothin to do with you ass not bein fabulous.
*grabbin her hand, leetin her pull him up. Fellin lightheaded agin. takin a moment to steady himself*
Thanks. I got a safehouse on the outskirts of town. I can clean up and change. I don't want Joey to freak. It's gonna be a pain in the ass explainin things as it is.

because you're not, not completely. i guess you never maybe can be, my behavior tonite's proof of that. but i don't want to argue about your status as captain of the Denial. i can understand that it's something you probably don't want to share with someone you're not close to, but have the possibility of running into often.
*shakes off the melancholy that's begining to creep in and smiles at him*
good, i thought maybe i needed some lipo or something back there and Michael was too nice to tell me.
*supports him with an arm around his waist, not wanting to let go til she's sure he's okay*
and you're welcome. but you think it's going to be a pain in your ass? try explaining who's blood i have on me to a man that can smell it as soon as i walk in the door. if it'll help, i can come and back your story up about how you tried to save me.
Reply
I ain't the captain of denial, Ev. I just don't think we can compare any feelins I might have to what you're goin through here.
*waits for her to open the car up*
Got a towel or blanket or somethin?
Theres plenty of clothes at the safehouse. You can clean up throw on some clean clothes and no one will know the difference. Unless he's the type to notice that you're comin back wearin somethin different?
*laughs a little ruefully*
Ah, yeah. Thanks, but you bein my cover story probably wouldn't help.
