"Are you sure...? I mean I could just stay a-and sure Granny would get angry but... "She looked at him, even if he did feel... 'safe' by himself here..... she didn't want to leave. Still she would be back as soon as she got the chance. Red bit her lip, deciding that it would be best if she left," Thanks Victor...."
Red went over to him and hugged him," When I get back I'll try and grab some of those old Horror flics- or maybe something a little more light-hearted?"

Whale pulled away so he could nod, but his hands had somehow found their way to her waist... and lingered there for a few beats. His eyes meeting hers.
He finally pulled completely away. "Uh, yeah. That sounds good. I think I'll just raid the internet and my bookshelf and see what I can find... on the whole... you know... VAMPIRE thing."

"Okay, sounds like a plan," She had to admit, she liked his hands there on her hips... Red blushed a little and then stood on her toes to kiss his cheek- but this time she missed, landing on the side of his mouth.
"Um.... " She blushed even brighter," I'll be back tonight" then she took a step back and started towards the door

Victor followed her to the door. He opened it for her and leaned against the door frame.
"I'll be waiting... Ruby Lucas." Whale said, putting on a brave smile. And then she was gone.
He watched her go down the stairs to the lower levels of complex before he slowly closed his door. He let out a breath that he didn't realize he had been holding.
The warmth of his apartment seemed to have left with Ruby's departure. He turned up the heat and went back to the kitchen to monitor the meager packaged dinners.
After he had eaten and cleaned up after himself, he tried browsing the internet to educate himself on 'Vampires'. But the more he read, the more he felt he was not alone in the little apartment. Every little creak, every little water drop from the facet... sent his heart racing.
It finally escalated when a bird thudded against his kitchen window.
"SCREW THIS..." Whale said, jumping up from the table, packing up his laptop. He would go to the Library. They finally had wifi up and running and it was a public place. He wouldn't feel so... alone... but would be LEFT alone. This idea sounded appealing. More appealing then nearly crapping his pants every time a bird hit a window.
He grabbed his coat and keys and headed out the door.

Well, she hadn't been lying, as soon as Ruby had left it had just been PACKED and it remained so for the next hour and half.
Finally Ruby flopped down in the corner booth, completely exhausted and wishing she had just stayed with Whale.....
Her phone was going off again, she glanced up making sure Granny wasn't around with her crossbow(she might need a new phone if she did) then flipped it open," Hello?"

"RED." David said, sounding very stern and agitated. "Snow just called me. She said she showed up at Whale's apartment with the cloak, but that YOU WEREN'T THERE... AND NEITHER WAS WHALE. What the HELL is going on?"

Ruby groaned,"James, I have a JOB... I didn't want to eave but-" She blinked,"Wait, Vict- Whale isn't there??"
She sat up a bit and leaned in on the table, much more concerned than she had been initially," How long ago did Snow go to the apartment?"
Oh Gods, she knew she shouldn't have left....

"Nope." He curtly. "His car is gone... which would be a good sign... IF HE HADN'T BEEN BITTEN BY A VAMPIRE. You were supposed to be there to keep him safe and CONTAINED. We don't know if..." David sighed. He didn't like being this hard on such a close friend, but this was the safety of the entire town that was at stake.
"Find him... you're the only one who can, and fast. Please PLEASE call me when you find him." He hung up.

"Hey, talk when your NOT on the floor, Red!" Granny barked, seeing her granddaughter sitting in a booth on her cell. "Tables 4, 5, and 7 are ready to be cleared." The girl KNEW better then that. What was WITH her today?

'I will, I promise and I'll call you...." She hung up the phone and swallowed, dammit whale, can't you just stay in on place for a few measly hours??!?!
She ran her fingers through her hair, internally screaming something very angry as she picked up her coat and started for the door.
She turned to Granny, her expression was a mix between terror and frustration,"Look I'm sorry Granny, but I gotta go, I'm doing the best I can to keep up......" Granny had no idea what she was talking about most likely, but Red wasn't gonna sit around and explain everything to her jut yet,"... I'll be back when it's over"

"GOTTA GO???" Granny asked incredulously.
She followed Red towards the door. Her granddaughter went on, and Granny would have gotten more furious and shot something back, but she could see genuine concern on Red's face.
"Be back when it's OVER?" She leaned in. "Are we in trouble Red?" Always 'we'... because she promised herself that her granddaughter would never have to face anything alone again.

"I.... we might be, not now but... there's somebody I have to find someone who probably is.... again"
Red took a deep breath, on he verge of tears," I'll make it up to you I swear"

"Then go!" Granny said, but then she had a thought. "Wait, Red!"
She went behind the counter and retrieved her crossbow. She held it out to Red. "Take it... go on now, TAKE IT. You've still got a few hours before nightfall."

Red gave a weak smile and took the offered crossbow,"Thanks,"
She turned on her heels and ran down the sidewalk, only pausing a moment on the corner to listen and find his scent.... he was... close?

Belle went over to the man at the table her arms full of books.
"Here you go Sir all the creepy books I could find on monsters." She told him setting the books on the table.
"If I can help you find anything else please let me know. I'm Belle by the way."
