Persona - Mask of Origins

"Come on, let's get you inside for now."

 

He sighed, "Yeah, okay. Did he...say anything to you, Yuki?"

 

"He acted like he wanted to bite me too. It really creeped me out."

 

Zain closed his eyes for a second and groaned, "Well that's Callen for you. For those that don't believe in vampires, he certainly is the shadow version of them. Lady Shiv...used his blood to make me what I am. It's why he can find me wherever I go. He...he usually just bites me and leaves. I guess seeing you...he must've thought you were a Shadow too."

 

"I don't think it was that, but he can definately tell that I'm not human."

 

"Hmm, well I'll ask him when he comes back. Right now....I guess fixing myself up should be number one on the priority list."

 

Yuki took Zain back to Toji's.

 

Zain bandaged his neck and slumped against the sink, "Stupid Callen...he's always making me look like a fool."

 

Yuki stayed downstairs. She had injured one of her wings and was patching it up.

 

Zain snarled at his reflection and punched the mirror. Pulling his hand away, covered in glass and blood, he cringed from himself, Dammit, dammit, dammit! It's not even my house....great, I'll pay for it, I swear! He realized what a mess he was again and picked glass out of his hand.

 

Yuki finished patching her wing up.

"Are you ok, Zain?"

 

"I'm fine Yuki. I'll be down in a minute!" He controled himself with deep breaths. "I gotta calm down."

 

Yuki winced in pain as she flexed her wing.

"Can't believe I let that happen..."

 

Zain wrapped his hand too and hopped down the stairs. He picked up his guitar, though wincing slightly from his hand, he still played Yuki's song for her.

 

Yuki listened, putting the pain in her wing out of her mind for now.

 

Zain decieded to pick Yuki's brain for more about Callen, "What else did Callen say to you?"

 

"Nothing much, really."

 

Zain broke a string again and it whipped him across the face, drawing a thin line of blood. Ignoring it he glared at her, "What did he say, Yuki?"

 

"All he said is that he'd be back with the blood for you after he took care of something."

 

Zain still seemed eerily still, "Oh...okay. Was that so hard to tell me?" He vowed he'd never let Callen anywhere near Yuki again.
