1x1 Silent Symphony & Of the Falls

[Falls]

Sigma didn't really know how hard she could scream until that point. The pain that she felt as Lucien stitched her lung up was like nothing she'd ever felt before and she half wished that death would follow soon after and save her from this pain. Everything else after that dimmed in comparison to the little stitch-up job on her lung and she fell into quiet sobs as Lucien finished. "L-Lu-Lucien... P-please..." she whimpered softly. She wasn't sure what she was begging for specifically. A halt in the pain. Assistance. Death. Anything but this. Her eyes were squeezed shut as she spoke, squeezing even more tears from them.

[Veins Of Opal]

Lucien frowned as she begged and whimpered his name, and his quickly, but cleanly, stitched up her side. He stood and opened the drawer, taking out a bottle of pain medicine, the blood on his hands smearing on the orange bottle and white label. He opened it, dumping to pills into the palm of his hand. Leaning down beside Sigma, he said; "Swallow these." as he plucked her mouth open with a bloody hand, dumping the pills onto her tongue.

[Falls]

Sigma closed her mouth and swallowed the pills after one or two unsuccessful attempts. Her pale skin was quite a few shades paler due to blood loss. Her blood was everywhere, smeared across her legs and torso and even over her face. In this state, she looked almost like some sort of grotesque ghost out of a horror film. She opened her mouth, coughing up crimson spatters of more blood for a moment before speaking. "I'm tired... C-can I sleep now?"

[Veins Of Opal]

"No... not yet." Lucien sighed. He was afraid she'd die if she slept. He grabbed the wet rag, wiping away the blood on her legs and on her torso. He brought the rag up to her face, hesitating for a moment. He'd seen many of his victims look like this in death, and it was shocking to believe she was still alive. He leaned forward and kissed her, gently this time, before leaning back and wiping the rest of the blood from her face.

[Falls]

Sigma was limp and tired under the kiss, but that didn't mean she didn't enjoy it. She watched Lucien's maple eyes wearily as he wiped away the blood from her face. "I'm sorry," she murmured quietly, her gray-blue eyes sliding away from his eyes and over the rest of his face as she spoke. "I bring in a lot of trouble for you and Vicente."

[Veins Of Opal]

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Lucien replied. He could remember when he'd first met her, within that hotel. She was a "rich businessman's daughter", and he had attempted to kill her. Because the similarity the one he loved, he couldn't. They had left the hotel and drove half-way across the country. She had read his confidential journal, been sorry. They'd wrestled playfully in the woods as they took break between rides to the Fort.

Thus he went through the trouble of bringing her to his Fort, killing Artyom, and now he had practically preformed surgery on Sigma. And that was just the thing. She was Sigma. Not Allison. He frowned as he thought of something. "Tell me your name..." he said softly. "Please." he added in. He knew she may not make it through the night, and thus, he truly wished to know her name. Not some alias.

[Falls]

Sigma was silent for a moment. She didn't tell people her name. That had always been a big no-no in her life as a wanted hacker. But after everything that had happened, she knew she shouldn't be having trust issues with the guy that had saved her life three times over now. Once when he'd spared her. Once when he'd killed the man that wanted her dead. And now this. "Tessa. My name is Tessa Jane McClaire." She wished she could've given Lucien something more exciting. Something like Victoria ExoticLastName or whatever. But that was all she had. A normal name and the usual potato-ridden Irish ancestry to go with it.

[Veins Of Opal]

((LOLOL, I've got Irish, Scottish, and Welsh in my ancestry. XD ))

Lucien pursed his lips. Tessa. It was a pretty name that suited her. He glanced at her, and gave a soft nod. He took off his shirt, peeling off his own bloody bandage. His bullet-hole was healing, and it looked very small and insignificant in comparison to Si-Tessa's wounds. He tossed his bloody bandage into the trash, wiping his own cuts with the wet rag.

[Falls]

[lawl, so do a ton of my friends xD We have so many inside potato jokes, it's ridiculous. Look out, i might start throwing them at you too now!
But ya, no offense intended.]

Tessa watched Lucien, her eyes gravitating to the bullet wound the moment his bandage was off. "You know, I was just about ready to have a heart attack when you dropped in all bloody like that. It was pretty scary lookin'." She looked back up at his face, not quite able to muster the smile that was suppose to be accompanied with the statement.

[Veins Of Opal]

(( ))

"Get used to blood, dear." Lucien chuckled. Of course, he had traveled across the country with his bullet hole injury, so he had been decently worn out. Lucien glanced to the ghostly-pale Tessa, and gave a soft sigh. "I'll tell Vicente he can come out of his room, now." he said, standing up and going to the Vampire's room. Opening the door, he saw Vicente pacing, his crimson irises their deeper colour, his pupils mere slits once more. Lucien sighed. "Vicente, if you need to feed, go. It should be dark out." he said. Vicente hesitated at the doorway. "Is she still alive?" he asked, and Lucien gave a nod. With that, the Vampire took the back entrance to exit the Fort as Lucien went back to the Living Room.
