Julius accepted the embrace but did not return it. That was how it all started for him. On one day all that he had said happened. It was that memory that made him hate his kind so much. It was that memory that started it all. If only he could of went back to that day he would of changed everything. No one had ever cared about him before as she did. It was something he was not used to. And it was the reason why he froze when she embraced him. The tears had stopped not long ago. "I..." He said trying to face his words, but none would come. He was speechless. How could he react to a kindness like this. There was no way that he could... So he tried to place together words that sounded a bit funny in his mind. "You are the first person to have done this..." He said refreing to her sympothy. No one had sympothy for vampires.

Sanet looked at him, but did not let go of him. "Really?" she asked. She was genuinely surprised. "... Well, there's a first time for everything." She returned to her light-hearted tone, and gave him a small smile. She didn't want to smile normally, he had told her the most sobering tale she'd ever heard, she couldn't act too happy. Just enough to make him happy. She rested her head on his shoulder, yawning to the rising sun, the light catching on her fangs like gold. She was yet to release his from the embrace. Partly because since she was the first person to do give him sympathy, she wanted it to last, and partly because it comforted her as well. There was another part to it though, that she just didn't want to let go.

Julius couldn't help at smile at her surprise expression. "Yes. But you should get some sleep." He said as he seperated from her embrace. He still had his arm around her waist. This time though he let her head fall onto his lap. He figured she had to be tired. And he didn't see any problem with her sleeping out here if she wanted to. He would stay like this for hours if need be. He didn't really want to leave the sunset, but if she would rather sleep in her dorm he would not stop her. He just offered his lap as an alternative. Julius was pretty much a trust worthy person. He couldn't help but notice his heart speeding up just be being with her. This was something not normal for vampires. Julius had always been under control of his heart rate. For it to move so uncontrollably confused him. Another one of those emotions he just didn't understand. He was sure he felt these feelings before when he was a human, but as a vampire he had no clue as to what they were.

Sanet dropped her head into his lap, and turned onto her side, so she was facing out at the sunrise. She always slept on her side. Her legs curled up against herself a little, like a cat curling up. "Good night," she murmured, closing her eyes. Her tail curled around her body, and her ears drooped, in a relaxed state. Slowly, her breaths became even and measured, and she fell asleep. She dreamed about Martin, Daddy, and this time, Julius as well. This time, no one died in her dream. Martin and Daddy were back, and Julius was with her, making it an overall happy dream. A smile crept across her face in the waking world, and occasionally she'd let out an odd little sound, a purr. She rarely purred, only in her sleep.

A smile crept up on Julius's face as Sanet drifted into slumber. He couldn't help but smile as she lay there. Julius could feel every breath she took under the spell of slumber. Julius would probably not admit it, but he actually liked the way she slept there. He felt as if this was where he was supposed to be at this moment. Right here watching this sunset, while Sanet slept. As the time went by Julius thought of many things. Most of the thoughts were pleasant, as he remembered the various times he had either saved a human's life or killed an evil vampire. So as the sun retched the part of the sky where the sunset was no more he brushed his hand through Sanet's hair. He had never before felt something so soft in his hands. Actually this was the first time in a very long while that he had so much contact with someone other then a human. So as he waited for Sanet to awake he just touched her hair.

Sanet quietly stirred, feeling something run through her hair. In her dream, she was running free now, as the feeling in her hair made her think she had wind running through it. She was on a grassy hill, racing over them with Julius, Martin, and Father, not a care in the world, every so often getting a glance of an gang-mate, as she called them. In the waking world, she let out a happy sigh. Her eyes fluttered open, and she turned so she was looking up at Julius. "Hello," she said with a smile.

Julius let out a small smile as her eyes fluttered open. His smile showed contempt and he was indeed very happy to be here. "Did you sleep well?" He asked after a small laugh had escaped his lips after her hello. One might find this an awkward situation. For a prey to sleep on a predator so calmly would sound an alarm in the wild jungle. At first Julius had questioned himself as to if he was doing the right thing. Was it really right for him to act this way to her. He had thought about this to as she slept and as she awoke he had come to a conclusion. Even though it might be odd he was in fact doing the right thing. After all this was the first time Julius had followed his feelings. Perphaps he would do it more often.

Sanet let out a yawn, and stretched a little. "Best sleep I've had in ages," she replied, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Do you know how or when we might regain possession of my necklace and skeine?" Her voice wasn't nagging, it was light and carefree. She was smiling happily. Her eyes were sparkling with a pure and innocent joy, and her tail was flicking with contentment. Quite bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, you might call it. She looked up at the sky, trying to estimate what time it was, when she realized she was hungry. Her stomach growled audibly, causing Sanet to laugh briefly. "Scratch the looking for the knife and necklace on the priority list. I think I've got to eat first."

Julius honestly had no idea just when they would be getting her things back. Actually he hadn't even thought about just how he would track this vampire down. He knew it would not be all that hard for someone like him, but it would take time. Everything always took time. They could go ahead and begin the search for it, but Julius was a bit hesitant. He knew there were other things they needed to do first. Such as get something for her to eat. For him he would have to go hunting. Julius would of invited her along, but he was not so sure that she would want to see him hunt. "I think that is a good idea. I need to hunt anyway." He said to her as he stood up after she had sat up off his lap.

Sanet scrambled up after him. "Can I come? I can help," she said. She used to stalk pigeons when she was in New York. In the form of a cat, of course. Of course, as a human she had little skill as a huntress. So she looked about, looking at the coloration of the woods. Quickly, she shrank slightly, and stood on all fours, her brown eyes turning brilliantly green. She produced spotted fur at a rapid rate, like a field in time lapse. Her face shape changed, and her body shifted alignment, and a beautiful, spotted leopard stood beside Julius, looking up at him with hopeful eyes. Her right foot was raised, and she limped slightly, but she managed to pad around him silently to prove she could handle it.

Julius looked at the panther to his side. He really didn't want her hurting that foot any more then she needed to. Julius sighed as he gave a small smile. "You can come." he said as he turned to her. "But I will not change my speed to alter to yours. So you'll have to keep up." Julius's hand reached over to the panther and pet her head. He really did like Sanet a lot. Heck he liked her as a panther as much as he liked her as a human. So Julius took off in high speeds into the forest. Even though he said he would not alter his speed, he did so anyway. He wanted to keep Sanet in his sight and also didn't feel right leaving her to wander off. Julius opened his senses for any animal in his range that he could feed on. He sensed a doe nearby. It had been a very long while since he had such a delicacy. And for a vampire, who refused to take the blood of a human who did not offer it, this was a delicacy. Julius did not speak aloud but sent a thought to Sanet which said, "To the right there is a doe. You flank left and I right." With that he went off to the right and readied himself to attack.

The spotted leopard blinked her gleaming green eyes in agreement, before swiftly heading off to the left. As she padded quickly, her muscles rippled in perfect balance, not too fast to spook the doe, but not too slow, either. She kept low, her head never peeking above the bushes. She paused for a moment, and sniffed the air. She could smell many things, but it was hard to discern one from another. Her tongue quickly came up over her nose, so she could use one of evolution's gifts to the feline family. The Jacobsen Organ, something they shared with snakes. She tasted the air, pinpointing the deer's location, as well as Julius. She paused for a moment longer when she found Julius's scent, drinking in the cherry blossom-like smell greedily, before forcing herself to stop. She padded towards the deer, going so that the deer was directly between Julius and her. She leapt out of the bushes, purposely landing short of her prey, but it was enough to send it fleeing. Fleeing straight for Julius. Her job done, she silently padded away, slipping into the shadows and walking away. She had a job to attend to. Hopefully, Julius would busy himself with the deer long enough for her to be able to make it back with out noticing. She looked over her shoulder, before swiftly plunging into the deeper woods.

Julius ran off to the right, traveling in an arc like manner. Julius's teeth became fangs as he very easily tore off his clothes while traveling. All that remanined on him was the necklace aroung his neck. With the clothing off his general human appearence turned more pale and even more vampireish. Julius awaited in the bushes while the doe ate. His senses took in the arrival of San as she relaxed a bit and leaped out of her hiding. When the doe charged off straight toawards him, Julius leaped out of his spot his naked body moving gracefully. By the time realized just what he was, Julius's hand had ripped through it's side killing it instantly. Julius bent down on his prey and began to feast on it's blood. He was aware of San leaving, but had no idea just to where she was off to. He trusted she would be back fast after she finished what ever she had gone to do.

Quietly, the spotted huntress padded deeper into the forest. She stopped by a slow-moving stream, and drank deeply, her muzzle growing wet. She looked up, and saw a large turtle shell on the bank. It was about the size of a soldier's helmet, and had only the top part. She sniffed at it, finding it had long since been cleared of its inhabitant by scavengers. She held in her teeth, ignoring the slight pain it caused her teeth. She ran it through the water, then turned it over so the water dumped out. She snuffed at the ground, occasionally snipping off plants in her teeth and placing them in the shell. Then she spotted it. A blackberry bush, covered in ripe berries. She immeaditely padded over, still having room in her shell. She placed the shell beneath each branch in turn, and would bat at it until berries fell off and filled the shell. Once it was full, there were still berries left, but she picked up her shell and padded back towards where she had last seen Julius. She had collected the plants and berries because she rarely ate meat herself, occasionally fish, but mostly she ate as a vegetarian, as eating meat made her feel guilty sometimes, since she was a shape-shifter and all. She saw pale flesh through the bushes. She turned away, and uttered a low 'chuff' to gain his attention, and thought, I'm here, tell me when you're decent. She hoped he would catch the thought, and she sat down and waited.

Julius feasted upon his meal drinking the blood of the doe. Doe's blood was pure and fresh due to the fact that it was a doe. Julius has had many kinds of animal blood before, but out of all the blood he has tasted the doe was the closest to humans. So for him this was a delacacy. He still needed to drink human blood here and there, but he would never take it from someone forcibly. Perhaps that was why he was generally weak as a normal human.
When he had finished with the doe he whipped his mouth on his arm and strolled back to the bushes where he had left his clothes. Not caring if San decided to turn around or not he dressed himself. Julius had a scarred body and was acustom to people seeing it. So it would not bother him if San did turn around for a 'peak'. When he had finished puting on the clothes he sent a thought to her telepathicly, "I'm decent. Let me know when you are ready to leave."
