The walk was a little quicker back to the apartment complex for the pair of them, but Varus was actually reluctant to leave the woods. His blood was boiling even as he pushed open the back gate to the complex and stepped through with the body, knowing there was still a psychopath on the loose. What he couldn't understand, however, was why he was so enraged by even the thought of the murderer.

He wasn't aware that what he truly was and what this creature was were natural enemies, which was why he was being driven mad by sheer hatred for whatever had done this. He was out of sorts, although he didn't show it, but as he glanced down at the body in his arms he grimaced, knelt down and laid the body in the grass. He then stood slowly, knowing that by morning someone would find this corpse and the hunt for the killer would begin, or the case would be brushed under the rug. Either way, he'd given all he could to this nameless victim and he was done.

Without a moments hesitation, Varus turned and started back towards his apartment, glancing over his shoulder at Vivian as he said, "You're staying with me? I was unaware that was your privileged to make such a decision."

You think he would be more concerned about my well being, Vivian thought sarcastically. But at the same time Varus had a point, what made her think she could just stay? Even though they had just witness her sister bleed one of Vivian's co-workers to death Vivian was very capable of going home. But, I want to stay with Varus... Vivian thought. Varus gave her this sense of security and she wasn't eager to give that up.

Vivian caught up to Varus and stood in front of him. She hated having to stare at his back, she would much rather see his face. "I know that I have no right to ask to stay. I am no one to you, but..." Vivian paused. Be brave, she thought and took a deep breath, "I want to be. I want to mean something. I don't know why I do, I just do. Everything feels so much safer when I'm around you. You're a mystery that I want to solve..." she finished her sentence and found herself pressed up against Varus.

She ran hands up his arms feeling his muscles. Her heart was racing. Once again Vivian was able to steal a kiss, but she didn't quit easily. Her hands found their way up his shirt as she kissed Varus. She moved her lips from his to his neck, kissing it softly.
