Chapter 6
Allegro stood by the entrance of the cave they were staying in, Lia looking over at him noticing how silent he's been since they escaped and split apart from Blake and Barnes. "Allegro.."Lia says walking over. He turned, perking up when she held out a jar of blood. "You're running low right?"Lia asks looking concerned. "Yeah..thanks"Allegro nodded taking the jar from her. She went over and sat down by the fire, Conny curled up asleep. He stared at her, holding the jar tight enough to break it. Lia almost died earlier because of him, because he left to search for her without thinking instead of gathering enough power for him to be able to keep her safe from vampires like Viola. He looked down, remembering Blake's words to him, now wondering if it was better to let Lia be with someone of her own kind, instead of him. "Here Conny, doggy treat"Lia beamed Conny waking up in an instant letting out a happy yip.
"Lia, how far until the springs?"Allegro asks walking over, his eyes narrowed. "If we go now we can be there in about an hour or two"Lia responds. He stared down at her, pursing his lips together. They were so close to the springs, part of him wishing they were back at the cottage just being happy with the company of each other despite it being rough for them both at first. He sighed and turned away, Lia looking curious now. "Allegro, what's the matter?"Lia asks standing up once again. She placed a hand on his arm, tilting her head to the side to see his face better. "Don't worry, I'm fine"Allegro says. He downed the blood and handed her the empty jar back, hiding his face. He scowled at the ground, Blake's words replaying in his head. "Lia needs to be with someone of her kind, she could never be with a vampire." He closed his eyes then flinched when a hand grabbed his cloak. "Allegro...talk to me, you know communication is key right"Lia says.
He slapped her hand away, Lia stepping back stunned. He lowered his hand, guilt eating away at him but he knew what he had to do. "I don't need your help...we'll go to the springs together, then we split up"Allegro says coldly, turning away. "But-"Lia starts. "But what?! You thought we were friends??!"Allegro yells glaring at her, startling the human. "I only kept you alive so we can get to the springs and go our separate ways afterwards! I would never care for a warm like you, one day you're gonna get killed by one of your so called patients and I'd just smile!!!"Allegro spat. He glared at her, Conny trembling from beside him. Lia stared at him in disbelief, tears falling down her cheeks, sending a bolt of regret through him. "Or did you think I was in love with you, a mere warm who helps both vampires and humans....you're stupid, I've never met someone as dumb as you"Allegro scowled stepping closer to her. He glared down at her, the woman trembling. "I hope a vampire kills you"Allegro gowled.
He turned away, lifting Conny onto his shoulder. "I'll go without you, I don't need your help anyway"Allegro snorted. Lia fell to her knees stunned, Allegro glancing back at her. His arms shifted into wings, Conny barking as he took off into the air. He looked back at the cave entrance, then shook his head knowing he couldn't go back. "Allegro!" He perked up, Viola flying over to him, feeling a bolt of relief go through him that Lia wasn't here. "You idiot, why didn't you let me kill her??!"Viola snapped the two hovering in place, beating their wings. "Where is she?!"Viola demands scowling. "...I killed her...I snapped her neck and left her body to sink to the bottom of the frozen water"Allegro answers narrowing his eyes. "She was getting in the way and now that the springs are just up ahead I can focus on more important matters"Allegro says. "Wait for me here, I'll be quick!"Allegro orders not wanting her to attack Blake and Barnes. "Alright, but hurry up!"Viola grinned.
Lia walked down the snowy slope, tears falling down her cheeks, her cloak wrapped tightly around her. She touched the tip of her nose, stopping in her tracks. She should've noticed the signs that this would happen. How quick Allegro changed after a single week together in her cottage before they left. The way he went from being hostile towards her because she was human to a curious vampire that laughed at her whenever she mixed the wrongs herbs together. Yet, he always seemed to care for her, even if he was just using her wouldn't there have been times where he'd attempt to leave her to fend for herself but never did and always jumped in to rescue her no matter what. "Jerk.."Lia mutters rubbing her eyes. She turned, walking up the snowy slope, deciding to give him a piece of her mind. The sounds of gun clicking startled her, making her turn around, her eyes wide. "Lia, you're under arrest for treason and murder"Nobara glared.
