Kill them.
It was the first thought that filtered into her mind. It was the only one that made sense to her, as well. He hadn't planned to show her mercy, why should she be as kind? Her mind raced to piece together everything that had happened, to try and find some sort of structure in the sudden chaos. When she came up empty, she shook her head and scratched her nails lightly against her cheek. He deserved death. He deserved worse than death. He deserved to be ripped apart, to have his insides strewn across the city as a warning to all other females, he deserved -- "Yes," she heard herself whisper, and then instantly shook her head. What was she saying? What she she doing? The rage had taken her by surprise, feeding into her hunger, her desperation. She couldn't allow that to happen. She had to be strong, it was all that she knew. "I mean no, I don't. Just... no." She couldn't - wouldn't - ask that of the woman. Despite the way the words had begun to form a picture in her mind, a violent, bloody picture - she refused to allow her friend to help her. She had known from the moment they had met that she valued human life, and when she had learned of her secrets, that hadn't changed. Becoming a vampire hadn't entirely wiped out the tender heart the other held.
Neither would she.
Shaking her head again, she stepped back from her and shoved her hands through her hair, the blonde curls falling messily around her shoulders. When the other turned from her to head for the fountain, she dropped her gaze to the floor and sighed quietly. "I'm hungry. I'm starving, and it's not going to be enough. The bloodpacks, they're just not cutting it for me." She hadn't meant to sound ungrateful, but she hadn't wanted to lie to her, either. She knew more about this **** than she did, so who was she to try and pick and choose what to reveal? After a moment of silence, she moved to stand at her side and mimicked her actions, fingers twisting through the water.
"Thanks, Mora. For... you know, saving me. You didn't have to."
