Aries let Luca begin leading them, following him as they went down the street, the vampire also a bit more on guard. While the sun was still up the streets were dim, and a desperate vampire might be willing to run between the shadows of the buildings and risk the bit of light. The scent of blood was growing stronger as they walked, his heart thrumming in his chest as they went. What would they find? Would they be able to save the hunter? Or was he already…?<br/><br/>Aries nearly bumped into Luca when the man bent down and checked the dark puddle on the pavement. Aries didn’t need to get closer to know what it was, and his fingers coiled in the hem of his sweatshirt as he watched… They were probably too late if he was bleeding, other vampires would have found him no matter where he hid, so the only hope was that he managed to get somewhere that they couldn’t get in or that he wasn’t hurt enough to be unable to fight them off.<br/><br/>He watched Luca as the man stood and when asked if he could follow it he nodded. “Yeah, everyone’s blood smells different, so… I can follow this one so long as he was still bleeding.” He assured him, it was how he had found Luca, though in that instance Luca’s blood was so sweet that he could pick it out easily, most other people smelled a bit more similar to each other.<br/><br/>He pulled his hood down and smelled the air before glancing around, trying to find where the scent was stronger. It was faint but… “This way smells stronger.” He said, glancing back to Luca. “But… If the person who hurt him has more on them than him….” He wanted Luca to know that he couldn’t necessarily pinpoint the person, just the scent but… It was their best bet. He led Luca again down another street until finally, he paused at a smaller building. The bottom floors were boarded up, but the top row of windows only had sheer curtains. “It’s strongest here… It goes up to the door.” He told his precious human, though now he was worried… He didn’t want Luca in danger but… He wanted to try to help people.
