see your animal side Let it all out! (Cat,Patrick,open)

[Kate Stump-Way]

     As soon as she fell she'd attempted to put some distance between her at the bloodthirsty vampires, pushing herself backward until her back was to a tombstone. She had no where to go, she was trapped and outnumbered. She wasn't even sure her message had been heard before the phone was sent out of reach. Her fate was certain to her, her back being against the tombstone was some form of grim irony. A fitting end to her life she thought as one of the vampires, a tall male with a sickening smile and a mocking chuckle, advanced toward her. I'll end the way I lived... The punchline of some bad joke the universe keeps telling. She couldn't help but smirk at her own thoughts. But at least I gave Patrick a chance.

     She was almost ready to accept whatever gruesome death happened next when the last thing she thought would happen did. She was saved. She saw it out of the corner of her eye at first, a flash of red on the roof of one of the nearby mausoleums. She wasn't quite sure if what she'd seen was real, but then it all happened so fast. Again there was a flash of red and the vampire intent on making her his next meal fell, then another was sent flying. She heard a voice asking if she was alright, but she was too surprised to answer. Then she saw his face, so full of genuine concern for her wellbeing. He was a complete stranger to her, but something in those hazel eyes-

     The moment was short-lived as the man took on yet another vampire. She was snapped back into reality in the moment he snapped the vampire's neck. She had to get up. She had to survive this. "I'm alright." She said as she got to her feet. She pulled out her knife and kept an eye on the snarling creatures around them, waiting for one to make the first move. She looked over to him, his fiery hair catching the moonlight in a most peculiar way. She'd never seen anyone like him. "Who are you...?"

[Gerard Way]

"My name is Gerard." He said as he punched another vampire. Then quickly staked him. Not wasting time he kicked another as it came close to her. "Look alive sunshine."  He thought he would be alone. He deserved to be alone for all he had done. 

His weakness was starting to catch up with him. The other vampires were stronger.  He was only on a steady diet of animal blood. They had human blood running in their veins. One grabbed him . He struggled to get free. The vampire had his arms wrapped around him, pinning his arms. "Kill the girl." He growled. 

"No!" Gerard fought harder.

"Traitor." The vampire said as he squeezed him harder. 

"Take me just let her go. Take me." He looked over at her. His eyes locked onto hers for a moment. 

"Your kind discusses me."

"Well if that is how you feel." Gerard said. Then used the vampires weight ageist  him, causing them both to both fall forward. Gerard landed on him but then the vampire exploded in a swirl of black dust. This caused Gerard to get slammed down hard on the ground, just missing the branch that the vampire had fell on. 

His face was scraped but he jumped back up to take care of the few that remained. 

[Kate Stump-Way]

     Hearing his words, look alive sunshine, struck a nerve. Why should he have all the fun? No, she told herself, time to fight. She pulled out her knife and went right back to work on the vampires around them. Her back was turned when he was grabbed, focusing on keeping her attackers at bay. When she heard him scream out no though, she spun around quickly, seeing only the very end of the struggle. Her face displayed that of concern as he landed on the ground, face scraped with black dust - what was left of the vampire that had just attacked him - on his jacket and in his hair. She was about to offer a helping hand back up when he got to his feet and went right back to fighting.

     She was certainly relieved to see he was alright, but she could also tell that the fight was wearing him out. The two were back to back with 10 vamps left by her count. "The name's Cat. And it's a real pleasure tah meet ya Gerard. Really appreciate the saving." Another vampire charged at her but quickly crumpled to the ground, it's head severed by her knife. "How are you holding up? You good?" She asked, sensing the exhaustion taking its toll as time went on. "Listen, I got your back. Okay?"

     Why was she so concerned about this stranger? He'd saved her life yes, but it felt almost like something more. She pushed it to the back of her mind for the time being, less thinking and feeling, more fighting and surviving.

[Gerard Way]

"Holding up as well as expected Ms Catherine." He said staking another vampire. Two more tag teamed him as one jumped on his back, as one started punching his front. He bent down causing the one to his back to flip into the other one. "It is nice to have so lovely a back up." He smiled. He felt at peace with her. Even though they were fighting a group of vamps. But what was he thinking. He could never give in to that happiness. He was a vampire. He drank only animal blood but still a vampire.  He turned his thoughts back to the fight. He took out three more. "Catherine how about we wrap these fucking vamps up. Send them back to hell with a fucking silver bow." 

[Kate Stump-Way]

She smiled at his words, never having agreed more with such a statement. Back to Hell with all these bloodsucking bastards, God knows they deserved it.

"Oh I'm right there with you on that one, Red." She chuckled, her knife at the ready, just waiting for the rest to make a move. When they seemed to hesitate, she couldn't help but laugh. Maybe it was pride, maybe it was the strange yet subtle sense of security she felt fighting alongside him, but she started getting a little cocky.

"Gerard, if I didn't know better I'd say they were afraid. The two of us might be too much of a challenge." She mocked. At that, the few remaining vampires ran forward, their anger making them a bit sloppy in their abilities to fight back, something Catherine took to her advantage. Her other half made the art of killing almost a graceful dance of death, but while her attackers fell, she kept an eye on her new friend, frequently making sure he was alright out of the corner of her eye. Try as she might have, she couldn't keep her thoughts off the topic of contemplating her rescuer.

She'd never had much luck in romance and was hardly deserving of such things. Her dark side making certain of that. But in the heat of battle, whether she was aware of it or not, she might have just found something she'd scarcely ever known.

Something impossible. Something worth fighting for.

Love.

[Gerard Way]

Gerard dusted off his last vamp and looked around. "I think that is the last of them.  There are never that many vampires at one time here. Something is going on."  He looked over at her. "We did make a great team."  For the first time in a long time he didn't feel like a monster. He was looking into the eyes of a women who did not have fear in them.  But he knew he needed to push those feelings back. What ever they where. He was a monster and had to be alone.  "You got some kill with that knife." He smiled at her.  He wore a old rock tee and skinny jeans.  Unlike the well dressed vampires he used to run with.  

[Kate Stump-Way]

With a tired yet very much so relieved sigh, she nodded her head. Looking around, seeing the ashes of dusted vampires, she couldn't help but agree.

They did make a good team. "Take some of the credit. I'd be dead over by that tombstone if it weren't for-" She looked up, catching a glimpse into the eyes of the man before her. For just a second, she was lost in those eyes. "...for... Saving me."

Part of her wanted to get to know him, wanting to learn more about this stranger that had risked his own life to save her`s. But part of her knew better. Getting too close to anyone put them at risk.

She was a monster. Monsters didn't deserve anyone. They deserved being alone.

"Thanks for saving me. It means the world to me. What were you doing in the cemetery ayways?"

[Gerard Way]

"I.I live here." He looked down shyly. "In that mausoleum over there." He didn't want to say it but he just did. Now she will think he is some creep who lives in a cemetery. Then again he was some creep in a cemetery.  He quicky changed the subject. "How about you? Morning a loved one?"
