“No, but we both got very close to it. I don’t know who the hell you are but- had you not saved my life, you’d have gotten pretty damn close to dying.”
Ayida was speechless, not only at his words but the memory of the last time she was saved. She was transported to a dark place in her mind, the feeling of betrayal and utmost rejection by the people who were supposed to love her. The first time she was rescued, she turned into the cursed Aicaya creature. Now- she was still the same person but quite shaken up.
“Are you okay? Thank you for being able to get me to my place,” she finally responded, then took the towel and glanced up at his bareness. Color pooled at her cheeks, a bit embarrassed by how exposed he was but, he had to get out of those rain soaked clothes. “I have some oversized shirts that might fit you. Do you have cuts or scrapes that need tending?” Humans never could heal as fast as her.
He hadn’t wanted to get involved with her too much as she was a supernatural creature but he wasn’t able to let her just die. He looked at her as he wrapped the towel around his waist and smiled when he saw the colour on her cheeks. “Nothing that needs looking at…Just a couple of scratches I think.” He told her as he looked over his bare form to see if there was anythin major. If you have pants or boxers that would be amazing.”
“So, this is just based off assumption that I will kill you? And by the way, if I wanted you dead, trust me, you would have been counting your last breaths already.” Maybe it was not such a good idea to instigate someone who was so set on taking her life, and for what? Because of who she was? If only she could transform faster and her legs would grow back faster under the heaps of kelp. Then she could run off and not bother herself with this blind hunter. “Seems unfair, to not even give me a chance.”
“Not that you will kill me…But you being here will draw hunters to my house and they will kill me. I couldnt careless if you were to kill me.” He told her, he just didnt want to be killed by the hunters that had tracked him when he was a vampire, but if a supernatural creature killed him he would be okay with it. “Its not unfair, its called keep myself safe.”
“No, but we both got very close to it. I don’t know who the hell you are but- had you not saved my life, you’d have gotten pretty damn close to dying.”
“Well thank you for saving my life….and its not like I could just leave you out there to die….I would have saved you and perished and been happy that I saved a life before finally having mine end.” He told her as he took off his wet clothing and grabbed towels for both of them.
“You sure you want to kill me?” Ayida’s transformation was not complete yet. She’d just come to mainland, far away from her Caribbean home for the sake of finding more ingredients. Her latter half was all kelp-like, from the waist down she still resembled a seahorse and that transformation was going to take some time. And just her luck, there was a Sasquatch of a man who pointed a weapon at her. She noticed the hesitance in his eyes, and believed merely talking to him will work. “Do you usually kill people who are helpless?”
“Im sure as hell that I want to kill you!” He exclaimed as he saw her and her lower half, he had never seen one of her kind even as a vampire he never came across them and yet here she was on land and a distance away from any water. “I kill people who could get me killed which is what you are doing by being here.” Axel explained to her, he wasn’t in the habit of killing people anymore, but supernatural creatures attracted the attention of hunters and he didnt want them at his doorstep.
