Hearing Hallbjorn describe what other berserkers were like made her feel relief that he would not loose control like that. She hoped she never saw him hulk out. If he had done so tonight, she would have ran from him. As it was, she had not missed the tenderness he'd shown her, even as he was carrying her about. His shoulder was hard enough that it should have bruised her stomach, but he took care with her, and even made sure she did not hit anything. Well, other then him.<br/><br/>Kara expected to feel anger that he'd been watching her for a month, but she could not summon that emotion. While she had gone on with her life, he had protected her from god knew what kind of creatures. At least now she knew she wasn't going mad all of those times she felt like she was being watched. Though when she thought of what he might have seen, it caused her cheeks to pinken. Her sexual drive had been working overtime lately, and she really hoped he had not seen her touching herself.<br/><br/>“Oh please don't let me sparkle.” She groaned. It was bad enough that she had fangs, and that they kept growing for him. The thought of drinking blood should have disgusted her, and would have, had she not seen just how enticing it had been.<br/><br/>When he told her that eye color changed with strong emotions, she flipped down the visor and sighed with relief. While her eyes were still amber in color, at least now they weren't glowing. Kara's curiosity had her leaning closer to the mirror and curling her upper lip. When she was not tempted by blood, they looked almost normal. That is, until she smiled at the thought. Then she noticed how the tips peaked from her upper lip.<br/><br/>As she knelt beside Hallbjorn, and his large hand caressed her cheek, Kara's eyes closed. A sigh escaped her parted lips. She should not be taking such comfort from his touch, but it was something she couldn't seem to control. When his thumb brushed her lower lip, her body began to ache for more. Her warm breath fanned over his thumb in quick little pants. Her eyes opened, and she felt pinned by his gaze.<br/><br/>“I believe you.” She told him softly, though she did not specify whether she believed he would protect her or break her heart. Kara believed he told her the truth on both counts.<br/><br/>She returned to her seat to try and clear the fog of desire that was trying to overtake her. Some time later, after she had thought through what happened, she broke the silence. “I will go with you. Because whoever hired you must have some answers about me. But also because...” Kara trailed off, then frowned as she continued. “I felt that fire inside of me, and I could feel it as it spread through the room. For some reason it didn't touch you, but I'm afraid that if I was around a friend, they might not be so lucky.”<br/><br/>That was what truly frightened her the most, that she might harmed those that she cared about. She had no idea how she caused the fire, or how to control it.<br/><br/>Kara rested her head against the seat back. Her hands rested on her lap, and her legs were tucked beneath her. She felt exhausted to her bones, and nothing sounded so good as a bed to sleep in at that moment. If it weren't for the sometimes bumpy road, she was sure she'd haven already fallen asleep.<br/><br/>“Why do I feel so weak, Hallbjorn?” Even her voice sounded weaker, to the point that she barely recognized it as her own.
