When Darkness Falls

[Ithica]

Amelia

"It's been a long night. I agreed to meet my boss at 10:00 and I have no idea what I'm going to tell him." Amelia said. "The guy who was questioning me at Leola's called me earlier tonight."

 

[rengadeirishman]

"The one who broke your fingers?!" Dahmnall said rage flaring in his eyes. "He is a coward, and when I find I'll cut out his heart and cut off both his hands and give them to you!" Dahmnall said. "Now about your boss, If you want, i can arrange to have something bad happen to him." Dahmnall said, taking Ami's hands in his ever so gently, to avoid hurting her broken fingers. He raised her hands that were folded in his to his mouth where he kissed them softly.

Amelia

"No, DeSoll is fine."Amelia laughed, "I'm just worried about your Uncle saying that the police are working with the vampires. Your contacts in the police department, would they be able to find out who is working with them?"

Amelia smiled as he kissed her fingers and was touched by the gesture. "It's late, we should probably go back to sleep. I'm sorry about waking you up but thank you."

 

[rengadeirishman]

"They've been trying, occasionally theyll catch one and "have him transferred" as they tell the other cops." Dahmnall said. "Your right it is late, we should go to sleep. Dont worry about waking me, it makes me feel needed." Dahmnall said with a slight chuckle that said he was only half joking. "If you need me, you know where i am."

Amelia

As Dahmnall turned to go Amelia grabbed his hand asked, "Would you stay here?". Amelia was a little embarrassed and laughed "It would save you from having to run across the hall again."

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall felt her grab his hand and he turned. "If that is your wish Ami, I would be happy to." Dahmnall said, sitting next to her bed and crossing his legs with the sword on his knees.

Amelia

Amelia pulled back the covers and crawled under. Amelia looked up and laughed at him and looked pointedly at the sword he had. "I don't think you will need that. I promise to behave myself."

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall put the sword down and leaned against the side of Ami's bed. "I want you to know Ami, I will always protect you." he then lit a cigarette and puffed away in the darkness.

Amelia

Amelia rolled over and turned on the lamp then roll back over to the side that Dahmnall was sitting beside. She looked at him and said,

"When I asked you to stay, I didn't mean for you to sleep on the floor. If you are more comfortable that way then alright, but if not, then finish the cigarette, and get into bed."

She leaned over and gave him a kiss, then rolled over and turned off the lamp. Unsure of what hit her first, the pain killer/whiskey combination or the exhaustion, but her head hit the pillow and she had fallen asleep.

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall finished his smoke and got into bed beside Ami. She was already asleep. he got behind her carefully so as not to wake her. He then put his arm around her and kissed her softly. "Goodnight Ami." he said quietly. He then fell asleep

Amelia

Amelia woke up in the morning to find her head on Dahmnall's shoulder and a leg flung over one of his. She rolled over to try and find out what time it was. Having no luck but deciding that it wasn't anywhere near 10:00 she rolled back over and looked at Dahmnall.

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall felt Amelia stir and opened his eyes to see hers looking into them. "Good morning love," Dahmnall said.

 

[Ithica]

Amelia

Amelia had been checking him out before he woke up. It was interesting seeing him in only sweatpants rather than the dark clothes and the trench coat. She heard "Good morning, love" as she had been about to giggle about his messy red hair.
"Good morning. I hope that beat the floor. How did you sleep?" Amelia smiled.

 

[rengadeirishman]

"Better then ever I have, how about you?" dahmnall said brushing her cheek with his hand and leaning into kiss her.

 

[Ithica]

Amelia

Amelia smiled at his answer and replied,"Good. I believe you owe me breakfast." She felt him run his hand along her face and moved up to kiss him back.

 

[rengadeirishman]

"Aye, that I do." dahmnall said getting up. He got out of bed and stretched to his full height and cracked and stretched his muscles. Yawning he opened the curtain and light flooded into the room, glaring through his red hair and off his pale skin, higlighting his many tattoos, all of which done in a celtic motif. "Sunny side up love?" he asked ami.

 

[Ithica]

Amelia

"Yes, good guess", she said a little surprised that he ended the kiss so quickly. She watched him stand in the window and checked out the tattoos that stood out strongly against the pale color of his skin. I guess he wouldn't get a whole lot of sun, Amelia thought to herself. "How did your grandparents meet?"

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall dropped into some push ups "They met in the IRA," he said "grandda was an assassin and grandmum was a supporter." he said doing 20 really quick. "Grandda was a young and dashing warrior, trying to help reunite our nation, at least thats what grandmum says." Dahmnall stood up from his pushups. he got back on the bed and put his hand on amelias waist and pulled her in for a long kiss.

 

[Ithica]

Amelia

Amelia was about to laugh and make a comment about doing the push ups. But only got as far as "Do you do..." before stopping to enjoy the view. Then he surprised her by jumping back up onto the bed and giving her a kiss.

"We should probably get going." she said and gave him a quick kiss and then jumped off the bed. The she noticed that the only other clothes that she had was the creepy white dress that she had been given at Leola's. "We are going to have to stop by at my apartment before I go to meet DeSoll."

A few hours later after breakfast, a change of clothes, and having left Elizabeth at the apartment to continue packing, Amelia found herself waiting in her car with Dahmnall, outside the church.

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall had left his cousin Padraig to watch Elizabeth, and was sitting outside the church with Ami. He had packed light, bringing only a Desert Eagle and a large knife. "This the place?" he asked

 

[Ithica]

Amelia

Amelia checked the gun that she had brought with her that had been previously under her pillow. "Yes this is the place. Dahmnall, can vampires go out in the daylight? I'm not sure if I trust the church to protect us anymore."

 

[rengadeirishman]

"No they can't, well at least they cant be caught in the light. There is always a chance they could be awake in a dark building but they generally arent." he said. "Dont worry, they'll have to kill me before, they can take you from me again." He said. "I need a smoke," he said, getting out of the car and pulling out his pack and zippo. Lighting his cigarette, he leaned against the car. Thoughts started rushing through his head. It indeed had been an eventful couple days. His thoughts went immediately to Ami. Was there really something between them now? Something real? He hoped there was, he felt it when he looked into her eyes. At least, he thought he felt it, he wasnt entirely sure what "it" was and he guarded his thoughts from getting too excited. 'What could she possibly want with me?' he thought looking into the rearview mirror, realizing once again how scarred up he was, he flipped up the eyepatch and looked at the place where his eye used to be. he still hadnt entirely gotten used to only being able to see through one. 'Ami couldnt want anything permanent with me." he said to himself 'Tis impossible.'

 

[Ithica]

Amelia

Amelia started taking a look around the parking lot and at the surrounding buildings. She didn't see any evidence of anyone but kept close to the car. She was glad that they left Elizabeth at the apartment just in case things went bad here. She caught Dahmnall taking a look at his eye in the mirror. She noticed the unguarded insecure look and walked up to him and put her arms around his waist.

"Is everything ok?"

 

[rengadeirishman]

Dahmnall felt Ami's arms around his waist, and turned to her. "Nay lass, everything is as fine as an irish mornin' " he said to her, putting his arms around her and kissing her "Are you sure about this deSoll man, Ami?"

 

[Ithica]

Amelia

"I'm not really sure about anyone at this point in time. But I need to talk to DeSoll. He's my boss. It wouldn't be an easy thing to just walk away when he thinks that I have information. I don't really need cops stopping me and taking me where ever. I need to know if he is working with the vampires. Maybe we should go inside and wait?"Amelia said and started walking with Dahmnall towards the church.

"When I go talk to DeSoll maybe hang back a bit. I don't want him questioning you as well. And with you a little further back you can watch to see if it is a trap. Keep an exit clear. Just don't stay too far back."
