((I'll post tomaro, nn))

(kk night night ^^ )

He looks around. "It's nice, thank you." he says seeing what he could do. "Nice house, it's a good place to get away from everything certainly."

((writers block.))

"Yeah... I've been here for years... no one even knows how old I am.... they never notice that I don't really change much... other then my hair but that's pretty much all." Bara said softly glad that she had found this nice little place... like a cubby whole in a way.

"How did you come to get here anyway, if you don't mind me asking?" he was curious. "So you really don't travel around a lot like most or half of the vampires do?" he was curious on that one too. He wanted to know a bit more about her. He also did enjoy finally having a friend that he didn't have to leave constantly.

"Well... see... I had been traveling with a friend... we never stayed anywhere for very long... he said people would notice and hate us. One day we were out though... close to here... and... he told me to run.... I didn't want to though he forced me to. I came here and waited... he never came home and I never heared from him. I went looking and... I found him... I chose to stay. If I was to become like him... I would and I would close to the same place he did." Bara sighed softly looking down as she spoke.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, what was happening, where people chasing you?" he was curious. "If you don't want to tell me you don't have to." he assured her, he wanted to giveher a hug, but he didn't know if he should or not.

"Not at that moment... we didn't think anyone had fallowed or was close..." Bara murmured softly now trying to pull herself away from how upset this made her... though it was rather hard. The man was a big part of her life... she loved him.

He hugged her to comfort her. "Do you think he's still out there?" he was curious. "He might have gotten away and escaped somewhere else, but depending on who it was that he wanted you to get away from, he not have, I am soory to hear that's how you came to be here."

"It's okay... and I'm not sure... I really don't know." Bara said softly and for a second hesitated before putting her arms around Angel and was just liking him hugging her... her friends didn't even really hug her.

This felt nice to him, almost foreign, years of no one who cared enough to even pat him on the shoulder, he felt more human, more loved than he had for years, a tear slipped past his mask of well built strength, but he felt it was strong to let your pain go, even every now and then is good, he held in his envy of the people he saw for so long, he forgot how good it felt to have someone care, even if just a little.

"You've never really had anyone care have you?" Bara asked sadly as she felt a slight tear tap her shoulder. "I'm here for you... we can be here for each other..." she murmured softly feeling a tugging at her heart... a longing for someone to love her. It had been so long since she had anyone. She hoped she could count on him to be there for her. Inside her vampiric side was screaming and crying in pain from the memories and the loss... a loss that she knew more then the human like side of her did... such a sharp pain...

"Not since the fateful day my family died, people only feared me, didn't give me sympathy, only jobs, money, and hostility, I've built a well trained mask for those times, but I feel I don't need it when I'm around you." he says. "Yes, we can be there for each other, I know how your other side feels too, as evil as she can be, she feels pain too, as well as a longing to be cared for. I've seen people get cared for, and it made me just want to go where no one was so I didn't ave to see it, I grew envious of them, but ever since I've met you, I haven't."

Bara listened to Angel quietly and felt her vampiric side tugging trying to get free... though this time not to tear Angel apart... but to cry... to have someone listen to her and to know someone was there. The human like side didn't really know her pain, didn't really know the loss, the bond that the two companions had... she just knew what the vampiric side would let her know.

He settled down a bit, havng her there helped him. "I know tht your vampiric side is in pain too, I know she wants someone to listen, I feel she's become less hostile toward me." he says looking at her. "It is hard to live with no one there for you, I've had nights where I couldn't get rested, or even rest at all, I did my job, not for the money, I gave half of it to the poor, it is good money, kept me going for food and clothes, but for the reason of ocuping my thoughts." he never told anyone this. "After my family died, I hated my job, but I couldn't stop."

After a few minutes of listening Bara was finaly unable to control Meara and she broke free changing her appearence to that of her dim shortened red hair and deep red eyes. Instead of trying to push away or hurt Angel she put her face in his chast and cried bitterly. She hadn't let her pain out... ever so now was the time to do it... she had someone to listen... someone who could hold her and tell her it was okay.... that's all she ever really needed.

"I'm glad you've come to trust me." he says hugging her in comfort. "I know of similar loses, it's going to be okay, the pain fades, but I can't say it goes away." he says rubbing her back gently. "I know how it feels, let it all out, I'm here." he didn't know why he wanted to help her so much, but he did, he forgot about the fight they had had eariler.

Meara continued to cry for some time before the cries slowly calmed to quiet sobs then to sniffles as she just leaned her head there her eyes barely opened. "I'm not supose to trust you... why do I?" she whispered her voice a bit different then Bara's... not as sweet maybe? She felt like a child crying like that... though she had really needed to let it out... over all these years she needed to let out her pains.

"Because you know I mean you no harm." Angel says letting her calm herself. "And if you don't completely trust me I can show you, Bara trusts me, why aren't you supposed to?" he reasoned with her.

"Because she doesn't know the pain... trust comes over time... she trusts so easily as I'm sure you saw... I can't... My trust was broken a few times and I'm not letting it happen again... sorry." Meara murmured softly hoping he understood. She didn't move from his arms yet though... she felt... safe there, content there, at peace... why? she didn't truly understand more or less know.

"As I understand all too well, I've had it happen too, but I think that we can trust each other." he says. "I hope anyway." He didn't know why she didn't just tear him apart, but it seemed she saw that she could trust him enough to tell him about her trust, and cry on his shoulder so he felt content with that.

"Cuz she won't let me... and I... No one has ever listened... no one cares... I feel you do..." Meara murmured quietly as she closed her eyes some. She wasn't really thinking of how she was just resting her head on his chest... or how dangerous this could be if he were lying... she didn't think he was though.

(so what do you think of Meara XD )

((SHe's the opposite of Bara, that's for sure.))

Angel knew exactly how she felt. "I'm glad to hear that, I didn't use to, I was ruthless, scared me, just killing for my job, then coming home, not caring, lossing my family opened my eyes to what I needed to change, and I know they care for me." he never told anyone this, he's kept it a secret because he was ashamed of it.

"Then why do you still kill for your job?... I don't get that..." Meara murmured quietly truly confused about that.... why would he kill if he didn't like it? Why would he if it bothered him? Why would he period?

"I did it because I felt I was riding the world of unneeded evil, I judged wheather they deserved to die, based on different things." he answers. "But I have decided as I'm sure you've heard I'm changing my career." He didn't feel like she was a threat anymore.
