She looked up at him for a moment before turning to the driver and pulled out her wallet and then some money she held it out to the cab driver. She was going to pay him off to not say a damned thing about this. "This is yours if you keep your yapper shut about where you're taking us. I don't care if you say you took us somewhere else or if you say you never picked us up, but don't you dare tell them where you dropped us off." She said cooly pulling the money away from him when he tried to reach for it. "I have a deal then?" She asked watching him cautiously. The man nodded, and with that Tori told him where they were going, handed him the money, and got into the cab next to Troy.
She glanced at Troy for a moment taking in his appearence as the cab started to move. He didn't look too great and it had her worried. That had to have been his first feeding when he stole some of the newly acquired energy she had taken from that drunk moron earlier. It seemed as if he hadn't been aware of what he was doing to her. She reached up and rubbed a hand along where the scratch from the window glass had been. On any other person that little joker would have required stitches, but since she had just fed it healed a little quicker than most scars and scratches usually did.
She looked out the window in thought. She glanced at Troy once again. She was going to have to take care of those wounds. She wasn't so sure how long it would take them to heal. She was debating on weather or not she was going to dig the bullets out. She found it ironic that the man ended up getting shot by his own damn gun. That's when something else registered. "Was that gun registered to you?" She asked turning her head back to him.

(Sorry I took so long)
Troy climbed clumsily into the cab. He didn’t know what the fuck was going on. The past few nights seemed so surreal and yet the dream just didn’t seem to be coming to a conclusion. This all couldn’t be real… It all just seemed so… unbelievable. This was the sort of thing that only happened in fictional stories. He meets some devil-girl who gives him superpowers and then he starts losing the plot and a couple of nights later he just happens to meet some other girl with similar abilities. As he contemplated this it occurred to him that the two girls had two things in common apart from their strength and resilience. Firstly, neither had wanted to fight nor had they wanted him to die and secondly both had been pretty; far too pretty for him to plausibly be real. Attractive women had never met his gaze, never wanted anything to do with one such as him. Perhaps he was in some sort of coma. Maybe this was like that show ‘Life on Mars’. Troy had never seen the ending and had wondered whether the guy had been in a coma and only dreaming or whether the world really had gone completely bonkers. Or maybe super-humans had infested the city… or the planet… Like invasion of the body snatchers, or… No, Troy was going mad… It was the only logical notion that made any sense. He was delusional. No doubt they’d locked him up in some mental asylum somewhere and this was just shit going on in his head.
Was that gun registered to you?
Troy looked at Tori. Too pretty to be real, he concurred and smiled suddenly. Troy then concluded that this world was much better than reality. Why would he want to wake up?
“No,” he replied hoarsely. “I picked it up off of a dead man.”
He glanced at the cabbie, wondering whether he would have to kill him, just like he had the original owner of the gun. There hardly seemed much point. The other two had got a good look at him and Troy was a hard man not to remember. Plus his prints were all over the revolver - but so were the truck driver’s … and the demon girl’s…

She looked at him and frowned softly. Just perfect. She just had to prey to God that the cabbie would keep his trap shut and not say anything to the cops on the matter if he did. If they were discovered though she didn't plan on pressing charges. The cops would probably thinks she's crazy, but they didn't know what her or Troy were going through. The both of them were faily knew with being vampires, and the large man next to her probably didn't even know what he was yet.
She looked out the window making no comment as she watched the buildings go by. When they pulled up to the apartment complex she pulled out the cash she owed and just a little bit extra to help encourage the cabbie to keep his mouth shut. She then glidded out and reached out to help Troy out of the cab. He may have not been very trustworthy at the moment, but she didn't exactly care at the moment. She just wanted to get Troy into her apartment and help him out.

The truck driver hadn’t been dead at the time, Troy recalled. But he hadn’t killed the man with the revolver. So far the revolver hadn’t taken a life that he knew of. One of the men had been shot and the other was holding the gun. With any luck they would think he was mad and arrest him for shooting his mate. Too many witnesses… It had all been so very sloppy, but he’d been out of control. Troy knew that he’d have to learn to keep his cool. He noticed her frown but looked towards the cabbie. He had questions and he had a feeling that the girl could answer. He shifted in the seat, something hard and heavy digging into his back. He remembered what it was and subtly readjusted himself hoping that the girl wouldn’t notice. Likely she’d just think that he was uncomfortable.
She gone quiet and Troy looked around, once more wondering where she was taking him. She’d given the cabbie an address. He didn’t know the street. Finally the cab pulled over outside an ordinary-looking apartment block. Her place, he mused as he watched her pay the driver. He looked at the back of the man’s head and resisted the impulse to break his neck. No, too much blood had been spilled in the past few nights. Besides, he was curious to find out who she was and where she was taking him.
Troy didn’t take the hand that she offered, but she helped him anyway. Pain seared through his torso as he climbed awkwardly from the vehicle. He glanced at the cabbie once more before he drove hastily away. His look had told a thousand words – and clearly spoke ‘talk and you’re a dead man’.
“Where are we?” He asked Tori as he turned to face her.

She watched the cab driver for a moment in thought. "Well, I think it's safe to say he'll keep his lips zipped." She said softly as she turned reaching into the beaten up fleece coat she had on. She rummaged in her pockets until she heard the jingle of her keys and and pulled them out. She turned to him when he asked his question. Her head tilted gently as she examined him for a moment. "My place." She said leading him to the door. She unlocked it and led him in and she was greatly thankful that no one was around at the moment. It would have been very hard to explain what was going on.
She carefully led him up the three flights of stairs it would take to get to her level, and she would have to pray to God that neither Angie or Suzette were hanging out in her place for the night, or she was screwed. She led him to her door and looked through her keys and found her apartment door key and unlocked it and led him in, shutting the door behind them. Her appartment, though sparsley furnished, was furnished with modern pieces of furniture. She'd recently gone out and bought herself black blinds to keep the light out during the day so she could move around her apartment. Unfortunately her friends noticed this sudden change and were, and Tori thinks still are, worried about her.
She looked up to Troy then led him to the couch and motioned for him to sit before stepped a few feet away and stretched, arching her back. She let out a content sigh when she felt the coloumb of her spine popping and cracking. She then took off the fleece coat and reached to her neck when she saw the blood on the collar. She had a scratch that was slowly healing. It would probably be healed by morning. She laid the fleece coat down over the back of a chair before looking to Troy. "I'm sure you have a ton of questions." She remarked leaning against the chair crossing her arms watching him.

Would you stake your life on it?
Troy didn’t actually vocalise the question and even if he had he would have been completely oblivious to the pun he’d have accidentally delivered. Despite everything, it hadn’t actually occurred to him that there were elements of truth to the legend of the Nosferatu and specifically that he was now one of them.
Given sufficient incentive Troy had no doubt that the cabbie would spill his guts. But what did he care? This wasn’t…
Her place…
Why? Why on earth would she be taking him home with her after he’d just tried to kill her? Feeling listless and dizzy, Troy didn’t even bother to question her motives. In his current condition, short of collapsing where he stood, what choice did he have but to follow? He closed his eyes, feeling the world spin as she fumbled for the keys and opened the door. He felt hungry… so hungry, but he’d gone past the point of hunger, now he was so weak that he could hardly stand – barely think straight. Typical… it was like a massive comedown.
The staircase was a mission in itself. Three flights felt like thirty and he stumbled often, but Troy had a lot of mental resolve when it counted – If anything he was stubborn. Weakness was for women and he would never show that he was weak in front of a woman. Leaning against her he would subtly draw upon aroma, breathing in her scent. The scent of her was the only thing that got him up the stairs.
The rest was a blur. He barely noticed the apartment and when she gestured to the couch he half fell into it and sank into its embrace.
“I…” Troy went to say, but struggled to summon the words. He looked down and then suddenly tore at his shirt, ripping it from his torso and peering at three circular pools of crimson on his chest. They weren’t bleeding he noticed, but neither did they appear to be healing. She’d told him that he couldn’t die… was this to be his punishment?
“I’m so… hungry,” Troy managed, wheezing slightly with each breath. His eyes then rolled and his head lilted to one side.

She winced when he just fell into her couch. She was afraid it might have broken under his great amount of force and weight, but some how it miraculously held. She watched as he tried to talk then suddenly ripped open his shirt. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath when she caught a glance of the bullet wounds. She kept telling herself he couldn't die that way. He was a vampire the only way he could die was through a steak to the heart, burning to death, or decapitation, and then there was the whole can't go out in sunlight. She didn't know what happened then, and she didn't plan on finding out any time soon.
She turned to the kitchen when he said he was hungry. He needed to feed, and she didn't mean actual food, but she tried to scrounge something up. Something didn't feel right though and she went back into the lounge to find him passed out. "Fuck." She said under breath and she sprinted over to him and bent over him lightly slapping his face. "Please wake up." She asked pleadingly. "I'm not exactly the type of girl you want to leave unattended when you pass out." She said wishing that would coax him awake, but she knew it was futile.
She looked to the wounds and frowned. He needed an energy source. She was actually considering giving him some of hers. It wasn't exactly easy for her to go out at night and find somebody to bring home... then again... it wouldn't be that hard to get herself another drunk to possibly lure to him. She hesitantly reached out to the wounds for a moment trying to think of something to do. They wouldn't heal until he got some energy into him, at least not as fast. She sat there and dropped her head into her hands groaning in frustration. "Why me?" She asked before looking back up at him. She quickly went in search of one of her books and started to look for any ideas on the matter

(Sorry again for the late reply. I sent you a pm.)
Troy entered a dreamless slumber of sorts and yet he could still hear the girl moving around so he must have been at least half-conscious. He distantly felt the slap across his face and yet he didn’t. The pain senses had disengaged now. He felt… nothingness. He lacked the energy to move; to so much as raise the lids of his eyes. Was he dead? The girl had told him that he couldn’t die, but the holes in his chest told a different story - and the bits of metal in there weren’t going to come out by themselves. What did she think would happen? Bullets killed people – three .357 rounds in the chest was pretty much a certainty. Troy could presently hear another noise but couldn’t immediately work out what it was. After a long moment it dawned on him that he was making it. His teeth had clenched and he was grinding them together. Wake up Troy! Move damn you! You’re not finished yet. Then the notion occurred to him of why… He had nothing left. What did he have to live for? Nobody liked him… nobody cared… why would they? He’d never given them reason to. In a moment of clarity, Troy’s life flashed before his eyes and he felt a moment of pity for what he’d become.
The girl muttering to herself snapped him back to reality. Once again he wondered what her motivation was for helping him. He could feel the butt of the desert eagle digging into his back and he stirred slightly.

She skimmed through the book quickly taking her time in certain spots. She frowned and slapped the book shut looking back to the giant of a man on her couch. The only way to help him was to give him energy, and at the moment the energy she had harvested earlier was the only source, meaning she would have to give up what she had taken from the man. She frowned and watched him for a moment looking down at the book. She made a point to feed every other day, which meant if she gave him her energy she would absolutely have to feed the next night.
She looked back at him and gently set down the book on her coffee table as she walked over. She looked down at him for a moment then sat on the table and quickly flipped through the book to a certain section. She red through what was believed to happen if she was to do it then looked up at him. She then stood and carefully sat in his lap and leaned foreward. "Relax." She murmured softly to reassure herself as much as him. She hoped he would be able to hear her. That he was at least some what concious. "I need you to take deep breaths." She murmured softly as she leaned up close to him.
Dear God, he wreaked, but she faught through it as her lips brushed against his ever so lightly closing her eyes. She couldn't believe she was opening herself up to such vulnerability, but she couldn't help her. She had too soft a heart sometimes. So she opened herself up bringing the energy she had taken from the man and faught to gain back from this giant up for him to take. She would just have to pray he didn't make another attempt on her life, or her dignity for that matter.
