Aries lay in the building he'd been left in the night prior, his wounds had healed after half a day of sleep, and for the first time since parting ways with Luca it was a sleep filled with chaos. Was Luca okay? Was he safe? Even if he didn't want to see Aries again, even if he was afraid fo the vampire and hated him for what he was and what he had done... Aries still worried about him. But as he whimpered the other's name in his sleep, watching him being torn to shreds by another vampire, Alex returned to fetch him and glared. It had been days and with the state the vampire had been in when he took him he was sure he would have forgotten all about Luca... Yet, he was still clinging to him. How annoying.<br/><br/>Alex walked over and gave the vampire a sharp kick to his stomach, Aries lurching awake. He blinked up at Alex with misty eyes, but soon stood and fixed his hood before following him, he didn't mind being treated poorly, rather he thought it was the right thing... But it made him miss the chatter he shared with Luca. Traveling with Alex was quieter, the hunter ignored him when he spoke or snapped at him, and so Aries spent his time delving into the darker corners of his own mind. Death, pain, fear, hate... It was a never-ending cycle, something without a reprieve. How much longer before he died? Could he count it in days? hours?<br/><br/>"We are leaving town today." Alex suddenly said as they walked towards the slums of the city, the early evening sun just beginning to dye the sky pink. Aries blinked, surprised, but he nodded. He didn't realize it was because Alex thought that going somewhere else might help Aries forget Luca sooner, Aries was used to moving around. "Stay here." He commanded, the two standing outside a building that looked like it should be condemned... But Aries could smell foul things from inside and simply nodded as he found a place to curl up against a wall and rest his head against his knees. He was tired... Tired of walking, of moving, of living... How much longer? Weeks? Years? He didn't think he could wait that long... Hadn't he waited long enough?
