Rin smiled, reminiscing about how far they’d come together. It all felt like a strange dream. At one point, Rin was afraid that he’d die hunting. And in some ways, he did. In the vampire dungeon, Rin lost himself completely. And somehow after all of that, he could look at Josef now as a friend. The first time they’d met, he despised the man. Now he had nowhere near the same amount of disgust. In fact, he enjoyed his company. Rin was just noticing now that this would be the first time they’d gone anywhere, just the two of them, as friends.

He put his arm around Josef’s shoulder, wrangling both towards the door. He stepped out first, then Josef. The clank of the car door against wood followed them. ”What do you like to drink brother?” Rin mentioned over his shoulder towards Josef. They made their way down the unpaved road towards the slightly illuminated town center. It felt humble being here, warm and homely for some reason. Rin wasn’t sure if he wanted to risk anything anymore. Maybe he just wanted to be somewhere safe for once. Was he changing?

Drishe laughed, noticing Ashi’s confidence in their joint power. ”Of course we’re not trapped. Nothing will ever trap you again, my friend.” Her eyes were radiant with the red of bloodlust. When the voice snuck out from behind the wall, Drishe’s eyes darted towards that corner. She followed Ashi towards the voice. Her eyes were green and she smelled like smoke. She wondered where that smell originated from, and wondered if this person was the source.

Drishe ducked down to meet the eyes herself. ”They are keeping you like animals here.” Drishe purred. ”So, how did your body react?” She wanted to know what the hell was going on here, and why the humans were so freaked out.
