Romulus looked around. He was in the Hospital Wing, that would explain the bright cleanliness and the incredibly sanitary smell. He could vaguely remember being taken up here by Headmistress Nefas. He still felt emotionally numb... He hated the monster within, but he had let it escape and attacked Nora. But the blood pooling around Laurette... He couldn't stand it, it was almost as bad as seeing Remus so pale and cold after being sucked nearly dry...
He shuddered. If the Headmistress hadn't intervened he knew he would have killed Nora the first chance he got. Which, remembering how the fight was going, wouldn't have been too much longer... Tears stung his eyes and started rolling down his cheeks. He buried his head into his pillow and sobbed. Why did he have to be the way he was?

Laurette woke up moments later. She had no idea where she was. She looked around. Hospital wing? How did I get here.... she asked herself. Laurette looked over toward where she thought Romulus would be. Her vision was still bad because for some reason Nora had gotten her claw like nails very close to her eyes. "R-r-romulus?" she asked hopeing what she saw was him.

Romulus wiped his face on the pillow, and turned to look at Laurette. "L-Laurette," he said hesitantly. "Oh my goodness, she... Nora really got you..." He stood up slowly, testing his own feet, then walked the short distance to her bed and laid down next to her, taking her hand. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "So sorry..."

Laurette looked at him. "N-no its not your fault." she said softly. Her voice was weak. This time weaker then it had been when her father attacked her.

Tears started forming in his eyes again. "You were unconscious, you-you d-didn't see me, I..." He trailed off, staring off at nothing over Laurette's shoulder. He shook his head slightly. "I was almost worse than last time, because this time, I..." He stopped. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to say it and get it over with. "I let the wolf go... I had perfectly good control, enough so that I wouldn't do anything, but I knowingly let the wolf go and attacked, it was like... like I wanted to do her harm, and that scares me..." Tears were still falling freely from his cheeks, and he was shaking slightly from fear of himself.

Laurette shook her head as best she could. "N-no I-I a-actually w-wanted to..." she felt the tears rolling down her cheaks. "I wanted to f-fight her.... to prove I'm not a whimp... thats not like me..." she said closeing her eyes and blocking more of the tears.

Romulus hugged her to him, careful not to touch her wounds as he did so. "Damn moon," he murmured into her hair. "Didn't help any today..."

Laurette whimpered as he hugged her. She knew he had not meant to hurt her when he was hugging her but it did hurt. "Stupid Vampire Traits.... I hate being a vampire....I hate..." Laurette muttered.

"Shhh," he said calmly, smoothing her hair gently and comfortingly. "I know, I know... I may not be a Vampire, but I was born with a curse of my own too, and it sucks... I can't tell you one time that I've ever been proud to be a Were, only times when I've tolerated it..."

Laurette cried silently. Her life was not what she wanted. Her curse wasn't exactly what she wanted. "I-I don't wanna be a vampire... I don't wanna be here sometimes." she muttered into Romulus. "I-I'm sorry... I I am."

"It's alright," he continued to speak in a soothing tone. "I know, this school doesn't help much when your own species taunts you, but you're a mage too, remember? You haven't had a chance to meet them yet, but I'm sure they'll be kinder and more understanding than the Vampires are..."

"B-but if my f-family has its way I won't even live after going home for the summer..." she said still crying. Laurette turned away and stared out the window. Her scratches on her face clearly had left scars. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Hey dad look at me Think back and talk to me Did I grow up according to the plan? And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do? But it hurts when you disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it I just want to make you proud I'm never gonna be good enough for you I can't pretend that I'm alright And you can't change me
'Cuz we lost it all Nothing lasts forever I'm sorry I can't be perfect Now it's just too late and We can't go back I'm sorry I can't be perfect
I try not to think About the pain I feel inside Did you know you used to be my hero? All the days you spent with me Now seem so far away And it feels like you don't care anymore
And now I try hard to make it I just want to make you proud I'm never gonna be good enough for you I can't stand another fight And nothing's alright
'Cuz we lost it all Nothing lasts forever I'm sorry I can't be perfect Now it's just too late and We can't go back I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said Nothing's gonna make this right again Please don't turn your back I can't believe it's hard Just to talk to you But you don't understand
'Cuz we lost it all Nothing lasts forever I'm sorry I can't be perfect Now it's just too late and We can't go back I'm sorry I can't be perfect
'Cuz we lost it all Nothing lasts forever I'm sorry I can't be perfect Now it's just too late and We can't go back I'm sorry I can't be perfect "
Laurette sang softly as she stared into space.

Romulus listened to her sing softly. He knew she was sad, he could sense it even though it was incredibly obvious otherwise. "Do you have to go home for the summer?" he asked. "I mean... Mistress Nefas knows about your father, maybe you could stay here, or... Even better, maybe you could come and stay at my place. We have a guest room."

"I can't stay here at the school my sister Vanessa is here.." Laurette said still looking out the window. Or you could maybe stay with me. Laurette thought about those words. "Do you really think a full family of Weres would want a mixed up Vampire Mage living with them?" she said. "But if I can I will."

Romulus kissed her forehead. "They already promised to trust my judgement, remember? My family always keeps their word... Plus, it will give my parents a chance to get to know you and stop being so hesitant. Remus won't mind at all, the little Squirt... He knows I know what I'm doing." He grinned softly as he remembered his little brother over in the hospital. Being a fast healer, Romulus guessed he'd be home in a week, maybe less.
