At the question his smile faded and he sighed. For a moment he thought of stroking his hair back, but as he moved it he remembered the girl he was still carrying and held on to her instead.
"It was never my choice..." he thought for a moment if he should mention Sarah or not, but then again, she was gone and it wasn't like mentioning her name would bring her back.
"Sarah...I guess she found me annoying or something. For some reason she turned me and then left me...so...that's how it is" He sighed again and fixed his eyes on the road ahead of them, very much wanting to get home.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Leo.. I didn't know.. I'll be quiet now."
Isola fell silent.
She couldn't imagine how difficult it had to be to wake up every night and realize that you probably would kill someone.
Ashamed and with really bad conscience, she wondered why she couldn't just shut the fuck up sometimes.
Isola looked at Leo, she could see from his facial expression that he wished to be somewhere else and then turned her gaze down on the ground infront of her and kept quiet.

Leo stared in the distance and mumbled.
"You were lucky last time we met, you know..."
He then noticed her falling mood and added with a smile
"But I've changed now"
He looked at her for a short moment as if to show that everything was fine.
Not that it was, but still, he didn't want to make her sad.

Isola thought back to the first time they met, how attracted she had been to him then and returned his smile with a nervous smirk.
"Yeah, I'm lucky that I'm not your type."
She got some mixed feelings because although his smile got her in a better mood again, Isola felt less sure of Leo, he was actually able to kill her if he wanted to..
"How far is it to your apartment?"
She rubbed her hands discretely and blew on them to get them a bit warmer, the only thing Isola was wearing was a long sleeved top, jeans and flat shoes.

He laughed ever so slightly and remember with mixed feeling how he used to feast on little girls.
"Nah, you were my type alright. I just had a lot of problems at that moment, so..." he just shrugged, not feeling like he needed to explain anything, then marched on, feeling rather cheery actually.
At the question of where the apartment was he gave her a look, reminding himself that she might not be as used to walking or as numb as he was.
"It's...not very far" was all he could think of saying, not knowing what she thought was far or not. Seeing her slightly freezing made him raise an eyebrow.
"You can borrow my jacket if you like, it's not like I need it" okay, it might not have been all that fresh after the fights, but all and all is favorit short leather jacket would still be wearable, he thought.

She wiped away a lock of hair from her face and glanced at Leo, he sure had an infectious smile and when she thought about that she had been his type her cheeks got warmer and Isola quickly looked away, aware of her attraction to him.
Although it wasn't surprising, Leo had actually saved her from an almost certain death, but she still cursed her hormones, teenage infatuations and that kind of stuff.
Isola nodded towards the half-dead girl.
"I was just thinking of her, she has lost a lot of blood and need all the warmth she can get."
Quickly rummaging through her bag Isola found a pair of old, worn mittens to warm her own cold hands.
"If it's not that far to your apartment I can manage a while longer.

Leo didn't eye her, but made some notifications thru the corner of his eye. Maybe he was too busy doing that, or simply not human enough to realize that the body he held in his hands was indeed decreasing in temperature.
"Oh...right" he said, putting her down to put his leather jacket over her. It wasn't like he didn't care about her, but he just couldn't seem to think of what was best for her. He was actually kind of frightened of what would happen when she woke up. Not only would she be crazy, but she would be crazy in his apartment, probably at daytime. What a mess...
"Good" he just said, not really listening, slightly grinding his teeth...maybe they should have killed this girl.

Isola was concerned for the girl's health, they had customers the night before and all of the girls had been visited in their rooms. Although Isola herself hadn't lost so much blood, she knew that the girl had lost much blood before her body had time to recover from the night before and she was at risk of circulatory failure as a result.
Luckily Isola knew first aid and checked her skin, it was bluish pale and the girl's breathing was rapid deep breaths, even her heart rate had increased.
Isola felt hope sink and her throat tightened when she turned to the vampire and said in a low voice.
"Leo, I don't think she will survive much longer without medical care.."

Leo watched as Isola had a look at the girl. He blinked a few times as she delivered her diagnosis. If they took her to a hospital she would be out of his reach to control and calm when she woke up. They would probably lock her up right away. Poor thing, poor fucking girl. He really felt sorry for her in that aspect, but it also made him not feel sorry for her. If she was already fucked, then why try to save her. He gave Isola a troubled look.
"If I take you two to the nearest hospital, will you be able to stay with her and keep an eye on her? Because I don't want to go in there. They'll probably think that I've beaten you up or something. I don't want them to start investigating me"

"Trust me, I would if I could, but they won't let me stay with her unless I can prove I'm her relative and well.. I don't exist.. Not on paper anyway."
Isola paused and took a deep breath, her voice became a pitch higher as the panic was closing in on her.
"And how were you planning on getting us both to a hospital, cause there aren't any ones near here!"
She sat down on the ground next to the girl, stroking her hair softly as the tears came down Isolas cheeks, thinking Hold on, sweetie when the girl on the ground opened her eyes, letting out her last breath before closing her eyes again. It happened almost too fast, it was so surreal, her heart had given up due to loss of blood.
Isola began to rock back and forth with the girl's head in her lap, crying and repeated a plea to the girl.
"No, no, don't die. I take it back, I'll be at your side at the hospital."

"oh" he let out a sigh, neither of them existed on paper and he couldn't afford getting a medical exam, afraid for what they might find. And if he went in there with these girls he was bound to be investigated. He stayed still and watched Isola as her anxiety rose. Sure, he could carry them both while running, fucking twilight-style, but he didn't want to. It was probably too late anyways and then girl was probably not going to recover mentally even if she did so physically. He placed a hand on Isolas shoulder and spoke softly.
"Maybe this is for the best. She was out of her mind anyway, I couldn't even get her to leave her room. What life could she ever have, after what she had been thru?"

Isola dried her tears when she felt Leo's hand on her shoulder and looked up at him, but the tears continued to flow and Leo's face was completely blurred.
"I'm out of my mind too and have been through the same as she has.. What am I gonna do now? And what are we gonna do with the body?"
She might not have been scared shitless like the girl in front of her and she had been mad before she ended up in Sarah's basement, but Isola had nothing to do or anywhere to go.

Leo nodded, it was true, he hadn't thought about it since she'd acted pretty calm, but it was true.
"Well..." He looked at her as her eyes filled with tears and he gave her a big hug.
"You can stay with me for as long as you like, I promise I wont harm you" he said with a calm voice. Truth was that he was pretty much just lonely, so why not? She seemed to need somebody. He could have asked Bazz, but it felt very strange to just push her onto him like that. Plus, it might be nice...who knows.
He glanced at the body, then at the sky, the sun wouldn't be up for some time.
"I'll take care of the body" he just said, trying not to sound too cold.

Isola was very surprised by the hug and let Leo hold her a little while until she calmed down and stopped sobbing, she put her arms around his waist, resting her head on his shoulder and for a moment she felt safe and close to him, close to someone and it comforted her a bit.
She let go of Leo and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
"I'll stay with you as long as you want me too."
Isola smiled quickly, she knew that she could be a bothersome person and couldn't help but wonder why Leo was so nice to her. Maybe he was just as lonely as her and wanted some company, someone to talk to? She decided not to ask if she might say something stupid and he would change his mind.

He smiled slightly at the shivering little girl in his arms. Poor little thing. Then he just felt sorry for himself since he almost felt aroused some how. Can't this bloodlust ever get turned-off? He had however decided that Isola was not food, and that's that.
Her reply took him slightly by surprise and he let out a very light laugh and stroke his hair back.
"Well, then I guess we're roomies" he just said, without much thought. He looked at her with a smile, though rather puzzled inside. Then he once again acknowledged the body of the dying girl. She wasn't dead yet, but close. Leo released Isola from his arms but kept her from looking back at the body by placing his hands on he shoulders.
"Keep walking up this street for three more blocks. I'll catch up with you" he just said.
