Rico could tell by Marissa’s reaction to what he said that taking someone’s life was going to be hard for her. Rico had to admit that he could understand what she was getting at because in the beginning he felt the same way.  Rico sat up on the bed next to her and took his hand and was rubbing her back trying to let her know he understood.  “Most people have trouble with that part, but once you are a vampire you begin to understand the need for it sometimes.”<br/><br/>Rico moved a little and pulled her between his legs so she was leaning against his chest and he reached over and pulled a hairbrush out of his side table draw and began to brush her hair.  This was something he learned to do a long time ago when his mother was still alive.  “My mother used to let me brush her hair all the time.  She told me it used to calm her, and offer comfort.”  Rico once again gave her a piece of her life.<br/><br/>Rico knew that when he offered her a choice on people to kill it would not make it any less painful to do, but he looked at it like he was doing the world a favor because the person he killed was going to kill someone anyway.  “Would it help any if I told you that the people that I have killed deserved it?”  Rico stated as he continued to brush her hair.  “A lot of my victims have been people who have killed people before and not been caught, or people I know have it in mind to kill people.  I have even killed those that rape woman.”
