"You mean it hasn't already?" Connor asked as he let his head plop gracelessly onto the table. "It'll be better once some food's in my stomach." Without raising his head, Connor began to fumble around in his pockets for his wallet.

"Look bub, I was fine before your DNA came along into my system. The problems I am experiencing are a direct result of your kind's twisted existence. So don't give me any of that death and were-wolf crap. I'm a were-CAT. Our kind have long served as counselors and guardians. We take our shape to learn that which others would hide-- not to kill and destroy."
As Aurora finished talking she knelt (still facing him somewhat) and began to wash her arms in the cold water.
"So tell me again why the hell I should drink your blood? As far as I know that will only introduce more of this plauge into my system."

Jonas sighed. "The dna that was injected into your system has an enzyme that attatches it's self to your own dna, it mutates your dna for a short time. My blood straight up kills this enzyme. Normaly, anyone drinking my blood who is perfectly healthy has only the side effects of quicker reflexes and heightened senses for only a few days. Obviously, since you, my dear, are a were-cat, the blood will do little to change you." Jonas didn't want to make her angry so he stood perfectly still, just like a statue, not moving a muscle.

"And what happens with the DNA still floating around in my system after the enzyme is destroyed?" His motionlessness made her wonder if maybe he was lying to her. The best poker-face is the one that says nothing.
She finished washing her arms and began to splash water on her face.

"It will just be dead. Your body will dispose of them as if it were an infection. White blood cells will get rid of it and you will be perfectly healthy." Jonas continued his statue esc state but his eyes followed her evey movement.

Kat's phone went off and she slowly became consiounce. She was laying on the piano in a practice room and her phone was jammed into her leg. She ripped it out of her pocket and flipped it open. it was her alarm for her next class. She turned it off and yawned. Kat wasn't really any more awake than she had been when Curtis had first woke her up but she had enough energy to drag herself from the practice building over to the music building. She shuffled into the piano lab ten minutes early and sat down at one of the electric pianos. With in seconds she was out like a light, sprawled over the paino.

The both ate rather copious amounts of food and so the walk back went rather slowly. Upon arriving, they discovered that they both still had access to the building and Connor's room was completely untouched. They spent the rest of the afternoon moving his stuff down to Luka's room. After hauling the last bit of stuff Luka threw several hotpockets in the microwave and collapsed on the bed. "Damn boy, for someone who doesn't really settle down, you have a lot of crap."
~~~~~~
"Don't be late on my account, or everything my mom warned my sister about dating boys might actually have merit." Yakov smacked Jeff's thigh. "I'll be here when you get back, now get yourself outta here."

Aurora stopped washing as he spoke and watched him carefully.
She contemplated this. He still wasn't moving any... it made her a little bit nervous really. Sort of like she was talking to a ghost.
Aurora thought about this...
"I'm sorry," Aurora told him, finally standing again. "But I think I will take my chances out here. I still don't see reason to trust you."

Jonas couldn't beleive it. Even after he spent the entire day not sleeping so he went out of his way to find her, she still didn't trust him. He figured there was only one way and he wasn't going to enjoy it if it failed. Jonas suddenly appeared right next to Aurora. He shoved his hand in his pocked and pulled out a small wooden stake.
"If you don't trust me now, then I don't know what else to do." He handed her the stake then took his shirt off. "I give free reign to stake me and put an end to my life. If that isn't trust I don't know what is. All I want to do now is help you, I wouldn't let anyone else hold that power of me. I have no intentions of hurting you or whatever you think I'm doing. So, either let me give you my blood or stake me."
-----
Jeff groaned as he tore himself away from Yakov. He quickly put his clothes back on and grabbed his goggles and the notes he was going to need for lab. "I'll be back as soon as I can possinbly can." He planted a quick kiss on the top of Yakovs head.

When Curtis entered the piano room, one of his students was already there. The scent told him immediately that the unconscious pupil sprawled over the keyboard was Katra. He walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Still sleepy?" he asked.
***
"Well, it usually stays in the truck," Connor pointed out with a raised brow. He had pulled up a space of bed beside her. "It just seems like a lot because of all the trips we had to make. If we weren't trying to hide me from the Residence Hall Association, we could have borrowed a hand truck."

"Don't go and blow yourself up on me. I may just cry." Yakov rolled over and pulled the covers over his head.
~~~~~~
"You and your excuses. Maybe you should start owning up to things." Luka rubbed her temples. "I provide a great confessional environment. Better then most curches provide. All the secret keeping, non of that crazy moral stuff."

Kat groaned softly and lifted her head off the piano. The hand felt oddly like..."Curt...I mean Professor Burnell, uh, yeah..."She took a quick scan of the room and found they were the only ocupants. "Where is everybody?" She asked rubbing her eyes and yawning.
-----
Jeff nodded, "I promise I wont blow myself up!" And he was out the door in a flash.

Aurora looked at him. "You know what? Now I know you're effing crazy. Vampires move like lightning. Even if I tried to stake you I would never manage it with your full attention like this. So either you really hate your company and your life as a whole or you're planning on shoving your blood down my throat and brain-washing me into submission. Either way pretty much sucks for me... So I'm outta here!"
Aurora waved a short "tah-tah," still holding the wooden stake in her hand, and did a backflip upwards into the nearest tree. (Style was always a must for scenes like these.) "Oh! And I'm keeping this stake," she told him from her lofty perch amongst the branches. "It might just come in handy."

Jonas couldn't beleive it. Nothing he was doing was working at all."What must one do to gain your trust?"
He was going to be in deep s**t when the company found out about Aurora, and she was going to be too. He suddenly had a feeling of protection over Aurora, althought she was anoying in every possible way, he didn't want any harm to come over her. He backtracked his thoughts and was utterly confused. Why would he want to protect a dirty were? Were cat but a were none the less.

"To make me trust you?" Aurora thought about that. "Well... my first question would be, can you fly?'

"I think you're a bit early,"Curtis answered with a shrug. His hands moved up to her shoulders and he began to rub them. He did consider the fact that this might not wake her up, so while he massaged he peered over her shoulder enough to kiss her cheek. If someone approached, he would hear or smell them in plenty of time and be able to stop.
***
"Honestly, how many interesting secrets do you think I have?" Connor asked, gazing at the ceiling with his arms folded under his head.
