He did not wear his scarlet coat; for blood and wine are red...

"Wh..." He mumbled, realizing the good portion of his face was bleeding. "It's fine. I didn't even feel it." He mumbled putting his hand over hers, enjoying the closeness. He blinked hard, looking over his shoulder. "This isn't the best place." He commented not looking back at her yet, but when he did he forgot what his point was.

Danger? What danger? This was perfect.

"Best place...? For - for what...?" Her eyes were wide and confused, but she couldn't help but enjoy being in his presence again. Her heart was pounding; her breath was coming faster, and she realized that she was feeling fairly - excited. With a slow motion, she moved closer to him, her hand moving to touch his other cheek. "Where are we going...?"

If any part of his mind was working before, everything froze. He was even sure his heart wasn't working correctly anymore. Just feeling her this close was almost enough to make him explode because of so many different things. He didn't realize what he was doing until he felt the warm heat of her skin along the length of his arm after he had pulled her against him, wrapping his arm around her waist.

But then he heard the shouts those several hundred yards away and just a tiny fraction of his brain unfroze and reported that she was still in danger.

So in the same moment he lifted her up and moved to the side of the jeep and slid her into the passenger seat. He quickly moved around the front of the vehicle and climbed into the drivers side, shoving the key into the ignition. The jeep roared to life and he quickly backed out onto the road and drove towards the city.

The surprise was enough when his arm wrapped around her waist, but she didn't mind. It felt ... good. Hungrily, she tried to move closer - but she heard shouts. Taking in a deep breath, she looked around, trying to figure out what to do, panic growing in her mind. Then...

She blinked as arms swung under her legs and she was lifted into the car. A blush slid over her cheeks, and then they were driving, but she was staring at him, her heart pounding. Did he - he just lifted me - it - oh...

He kept his eyes plastered to the road in front of him. He didn't know if very well and his speed was reaching above fifty. No need to follow the speed limit with armed hunters chasing along behind him. He glanced into the rear view mirror several times, but no headlights appeared.

The turn for the interstate came faster than he remembered and he turned, easily sliding the pedal down until they reached ninty miles an hour. It was a little fast for the highway, but he was just take precautions.

"...Is...there anywhere you...would like me to take you?" He asked, the city lights dotting out the sky in front of them as he sped on. It was a big question floundering around in his head, what now? He saved her. But...she couldn't want to stay in his company any longer. It was his fault she was even there in the first place.

She took a breath at his question, unhappily looking aside.

"... I don't have a home - I'm a forest creature, rem--remember?" She swallowed - he didn't want her around. Her body throbbed - was she hungry again? Or was it something else...?

She felt so strange around him - she never knew what he was thinking, what he wanted - she knew nothing about him. With a deep breath, she shrugged. "Just let me off at the forest's edge, I supposed."

He shook his head once. "Not smart." He said through his teeth, his mind on the two men. "They'd start hunting again tomorrow. Maybe even tonight." He said glancing in his mirrors again. "I can't justify doing that." He said, his voice almost breaking. She must hate me.

"I-I'm so sorry, Nimue. I had no idea-- I never would have..." His voice broke at the end, he was unable to continue. He felt like going to get 'jackass' tattooed on his forehead. He was such a horrible person. He almost got this wonder, beautiful creature next to him killed. He wouldn't ever be able to forgive himself for that. Not after seeing the hurt expression on her face. Both when she was an animal and like she is now.

"... I have nowhere else to go," she informed him softly, looking away at the concrete walls holding the highway where it was. "So you might as well just let me be." How had the hunters even known about her? She was careful - very careful, about who she let see her. In short - no one was allowed to see her. Darren had been an accident - an accident she'd thought that would end happily.

She was very wrong, it seemed.

"I..." How could he word this without sounding so utterly pathetic? "These past few weeks...I've tried to move on... it was a one time thing, I tried to tell myself. But I just couldn't get over you. The idea of you. I even tried telling myself that I just dreamed you into reality--that I had gone crazy. But Jerry.... he demanded about you, frustrated I didn't really know anything..." He trailed off, looking at her in the longest glance he could spare without swerving.

He looked back at the road and let out a slow breath. "And then I hear these men talking about this creature...a kumiho I think they called it. Said that a few people had gone missing into the forest and only bones were found. I remembered the thing that might have eaten me... I told them about it and then I was following them into the forest."

"Even then, only going on what I saw and what they told me, I couldn't let them kill it-- kill you. And...when you changed in the cage..." He blinked several times and let out a sigh. "I swear I never would have told them a thing if I'd known it was you. Just the thought of hurting you is..... I am so sorry." He said again, looking at her.

She laughed bitterly as he spoke, although she was almost touched at how he couldn't 'get over her.'
"Well, you were wrong. I'm not... not that. Kumihos don't eat people that way - they - uh - they eat something else." She winced, blushing lightly.

"So - I'm - I'm not. I'm ... only half," she mumbled. "And when you - when you first saw me... The man was dying anyway. I killed him faster than the hawks would have, ended his suffering." She wished he'd stop the car - although technically, she could probably get out and land only a broken leg at the worst. "Please stop the car," she practically whined, not wanting to hurt him - or herself - anymore.

As she spoke he was instantly curious. Half? What all was she? How did it work? Was she the only one? What was it like? What could she do? And most importantly...why him? He, this ordinary man fresh out of college, was blessed with this amazingly different creature. Why was he so lucky? And why was he seriously screwing it up?

When she asked him to stop the car, he was worried. But, of course she didn't want to be with him. He should know that. It was understandable, he just confessed to condemning her. Of course she didn't want to stay any longer with him than she could. But then...that kiss... the warmth.

He was fighting with himself as he pulled off of the interstate, he pulling into a gas station parking in a far spot on the back side of the parking lot. He put the jeep in park, wondering where this was going. He knew where he wanted it to go, but he had no idea what she was thinking. Would it be okay if he...pried for some information. To help him understand it more. "What are you exactly?" He asked, his voice more level than he thought it would sound. He was calming down better and faster than he thought he would. He was very surprised at himself for taking this so easy.

She was prepared to step out of the car when he spoke. At his question, she paused, glanced back at him. Flatly - although sadly - she answered, "Evil." With a slow motion, she slid out of the jeep, fighting to keep her tears in check. "I'm sorry - I wish it could have ... worked..." She whispered as she tried to look around, find her way back to the forest.

Evil? No. He didn't believe it. She couldn't be evil, she was to...nice. She had led him out of the forest in stead of eating him. She went out on a date with him. He had gotten her captured and almost killed. When he opened the cage door...she should have jumped and killed him for what he did. But she didn't.

She wasn't evil.

He had his hand on the door. "How...how does in not work out?" He asked, his own hurt seeping into his voice. "I--I am...willing... to make it work... to be able to see you." He words spilled out before he could think of something more...less pathetic to say. But what he did say was complete honesty. He was willing to do about everything in his power to keep her in his life.

She was still, unsure of what to do. She didn't want to leave. Could she trust him?

It was true - Nimue had nowhere else to go. I... don't want to leave him. I want to be with him. I like him a lot. She felt tears prick her eyes. "... I want to make it work, b-but I don't know if I can. Not without being ... what my mother was..." She swallowed, heart pounding. "I - just don't know..."

Her response confused him as much as it pleased him. She wants to make it work too. His happy side was elated with joy, but the more aware side of his mind, what was her mother like? It was a question he would be ashamed to asked, because of her reaction.

"Then know." He offered quietly. "Try....please..." He mumbled, a little ashamed at how much begging he was doing to keep this woman in his life. Even if this was only the second day he met her... It was something he didn't really understand, but he was not against following along with.
