He only held her in his arms so gently and carefully that nothing else mattered but helping Alice recover. She was his life and love but nothing else would try to harm her again. He only held her close from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist as they look out from the roof together. The city was still being fixed up but at least their was no fires and screaming. They only kept close to one another while looking silent.
For that time, near afternoon. He was sitting and helping her. Alice and Tomas stayed near one another but also saw that they were just staying close with him holding her close. She didn't move not saying much but her eyes were closed trying to relax in his arms. Tomas knew she was still recovering that he was seeing where he would normally feed from. True, her neck healed but he grew worried knowing the bastard fed from there too.
".................."
"....dose it still hurt?" she opens her eyes a little as he asked the question.
"What still hurts?"
"Your neck. I know he bit and drank from you there. Dose it still hurt?" He asked again but kept hugging her into his body that Alice remembers that night again. She grips the sheets in her hand, trying to stay calm when she talks. She still or barley heard the laughter of the enemy in her head before letting out a shaky breath.
"It really just burns; not sting. I know it's recovering as well after you gotten the poison out of my blood. Even my blood is recovering from what happened. I still know it's not as bad w..when it happened but I should be alright after a while." even from her voice he could tell it must have hurt. Feeling something so sharp stabbing your skin to make it bleed. He slowly reaches to hold her hand feeling her shaking again.
"Shhhhhhh, just relax. I'm here Alice. It's fine now..." he mutters holding her gently in his arms.
"I know.." she whispered softly into his neck but didn't move away from him as they lay there together. He looks at her still keeping her as close to him as possible, running his fingers through her hair ever so slowly.
"I know it will take a little while before you feel better again or your self but..if something is wrong..let me know. I'll help you however I can. I want you to be as happy as possible again. Nothing else is more important than your health." he carefully lifts her head by the chin, looking at her eyes.
She looks back at him as well not saying anything but they just look at one another with the silence surrounding them. He really was worried of the love of his life but he carefully pulls her in close holding her once more. However, all she did was close her eyes relaxing in his arms while they lay in bed together. For now, this was just fine. He did help her if she felt that fear again in a little while brushing her hair that evening. He held the brush while moving it through her hair. Still soft even after washing it.
She just sat in front of him while he did this for her, looking down at her lap while the news played on Tv. They just took a shower to get clean again so he was just staying to take care of her even if she was still recovering. He did notice the neck was slightly bruised but he knew it was one of the side effects. Maybe the venom was rewriting her body motion? No, she would have shown it but that was fine. Can't be too sorry and not careful either way.
He held up some of her hair and brushes it slowly as she was sitting still like a good girl while he did. When he was done, he sets the brush down on the night stand and she reaches feeling her hair. Fingers run through it before he feels her sit back into his chest while he held her again. They watch Tv together again while she was resting on him. Their eyes were focused on the Tv again.
He did notice her reaching up to rub her neck feeling a slight ache there again. Tomas wonders if she needed some ointment but she already told him she didn't. She still get some aches and pains from her neck during that time. It's nothing too serious. It goes away later on that he still grew worried holding her other hand.
"You still doing alright, love?"
"I'm alright....." she mutters for him to hear as the still watch the news together. Today began as a little angry but things have calmed down for a while. He just held her gently in his arms while they were seeing the news then she sighs shutting her eyes for a while. He looks down seeing that but he only was careful in hoping she was fine. Now, they were just laying together on their bed while he was more concerned about her. Was the venom really messing with her? Was she having Aches and pains without telling him? He didn't want to get it out of her but he just held her more making her look at his arms then up.
"Something wrong?"
"No...nothing's wrong." he said kissing her forehead as she relaxed from the gentle care. She just moves her head back again to look at the screen again. They just kept watching Tv till later that evening. He was already done washing from the shower while she was getting ready for bed. He didn't know if she wanted to sleep in her own room tonight or with him like before.
"Are you getting ready for bed or are you done?" he sees her turn around to face him hearing that.
"I'm ready for bed now. I just came out of the shower myself. I don't want ot be a bother so I could go and sleep in my own room. I figure I already took up your time today. But at least their is tomorrow." she mutters.
"Are you sure? You know I have enough room to have you sleep here with me. I don't mind the company." she looks at him while they remain silent for a while but Alice looks down at her feet to sigh and look at him.
"It's fine. I will sleep in my room. If something happens, I'll be fine." she said to him that Tomas understood but didn't want her to be alone in her room. He didn't know what she might do if she got that scared feeling again. However, she didn't argue with him about it. Turning to leave for her room, Alice opens the door and leaves.
He shook his head but reaches to grab her wrist stopping her. Alice turns to look at him seeing the same worry on his face. He didn't want her to be alone right now. He didn't know what would happen if she tries to sleep. All he wanted was to be sure she was alright.
"Tomas?"
"You can sleep here. That way I'm close to you and you won't be afraid...Please..I don't want anything happening to you or you having a night terror."
"......B..but isn't it too much? I know I'm here then you won't get any sleep.." he carefully moves her from the door but shuts it behind him. Looking at her as she was still feeling his gentle touch on her hand now.
"Never. Please, I'm begging you Alice. Stay here with me...I'll protect you. I promise."
"..................." she didn't answer him right away but she knew he wouldn't let her go to her room or just leave moments later. He was just really worried and wished to help her either way. Letting out a sigh, he carefully pulls her to him that made him hug her. She didn't move from his embrace then lets out a sigh relaxing.
"Okay.."
Hearing that, he carefully pulls back and heads to the bed so they can lay there together in each other arms. She was quiet looking at his chest that he cuddles her up close to show he was right there. He held her when saying good night to have them fall right to sleep after the lights were turned off. She dozed off to sleep in his arms while he did the same holding her in his own.
