"If only I were human or animal, things would be better." Deichi murmured. I hadn't meant to overhear him talking to Phyllis, but my great hearing really picked up on it. I wasn't going to say anything, but that last part really upset me.
"Well, you know what? You aren't either of those things. You aren't totally one or the other. So you know what? Deal with it. I have," I turned to him and mouthed off. Man, I was insensitive today. But, I guess that was me everyday. I wasn't a very compassionate creature. I hated it when other people had little pity parties.
Deichi glared at me. "What, so killing people is dealing with it? Are you suggesting I go on some mass murdering spree? Is that going to make me "fit in"?" he asked.
I crossed my arms. "Look, we all deal with things differently. That just happens to be my way of life, and I don't suggest it to anyone. All I'm getting at is that everyone has a burden to bare. Might as well deal with it and move on. No sense getting all sissy like on us," I smirked down at him.
He stood up to his full height, now a few inches taller than I. "Are you suggesting I'm weak? A sissy?"
I shrugged nonchalantly. "You said it, I didn't." A smirk followed again.
He turned away, probably fighting the urge to attack me. Like I cared one way or the other. I looked over at Aki, such a pitiful creature. A fallen angel. He wanted to die. To be sent to the void beyond this life.
I wondered who had betrayed him. I shook my head, why did I care. Being around all these people was confusing my emotions. I was always alone and here I was surrounded by four more people.
I changed into an emotionless vampire and stared at everyone surrounding me. Interestingly enough, we were quite a group. We didn't quite compliment each others' strengths and weaknesses, but a group nonetheless. It would be interesting to see where we were headed from here.
