Jacen sat in the chair, his hands drumming together as he watched the woman lying on the bed. He was still unsure why he had chosen to save her, and for that matter, why he waited for her to awaken. Quickly scanning her memories/subconscious thoughts, he was able to put together some interesting facts.
Jacen: Guinevere... Assassin of the Knights of the Holy Order...cute.
The facts were amusing to him, and he was sure that sooner or later, he would have to explain himself.
At least to myself...
OOC: Sorry so short, had to run.

Guenivere's dark, whiskey amber eyes slowly opened to see a ceiling above her head, and immediately, she knew something was wrong. She blinked a few times, her mind still dreary from the attack and loss of blood. But she soon realized that there was not supposed to be a roof over her head, and her heart started racing faster. She had been a forest when she had lost consciousness from Dracula's attack...why was she inside now?
She bolted upright, and her eyes scanned the room, seeing a man sitting across the room from her, drumming his fingers, watching her. He seemed far too pale, with a sort of elegance about him that was rather intimidating. Not another one She thought before speaking. "Who are you?" She snapped, curious but on the defense.

Seeing her stir, Jacen was sitting beside her in an instant. Resting his hands, he gently guided her to the bed-rest against the wall.
Jacen: Easily. I was just making sure you were safe. Perhaps a bit to forcefully. Youve lost alot of blood from Dracula.
Slowly, he reached over and offered her a glass of water.
Jacen: Now you may not believe me, but I don't want to hurt you.
He was surprised that he meant it. Whatever reason Dracula had spared her...he wanted to know. While at the same time making sure she was no danger to him. She was still a Knight after all.

As the man moved to guide her to rest on the wall, she forcefully pushed his hands away. Her muscles were still extremely sore, and she was more than cautious to say the least. "I don't need your help. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself." She snapped, glaring at him, eyes dangerous and holding a promise like arsenic.
She eyed the glass of water he offered, not taking it, simply eying it. She then lifted her eyes to look at him. "Where am I?" She snapped, tongue darting out to lick her dry lips.

She was going to be difficult. That much was certain. Placing the water on the nightstand beside the woman, Jacen stood up and made his way to the end of the bed.
Jacen: My home. After Dracula left you, I brought you here.
Simple answer and the reasoning was equally so.
Jacen: Call me crazy but I don't think anyone deserves to be a slab of meat for a pack of werewolves.
Placing a hair through his hair, he let his hands rest on the end of the bed frame, his eyes never leaving the woman's.

Guenivere cocked her head to the side and arched a brow at him. "How generous of you." She said sarcastically, looking back at him, her eyes never leaving his even as she changed her seating position and tucked one leg beneath her, now sitting up. Her eyes looked him over for a moment, sizing him up, before her lips formed words once more. "I'm Guenivere..."She said softly, not sure why she was telling him her name. It wasn't safe....
....but he did safe her life after all...
"And you are?" She asked, voice a little softer now, but it had not lost its hard edge.

"I know." He said. He had read enough of her subconscious mind to pick up a few facts about this human.
Taking a brief moment to look her over as well, Jacen felt slightly more confident in revealing his name to her. After all, if he could not trust her, he could always eliminate her. Smiling a little, he regarded her.
"Jacen...Jacen Lucifer."
He had always liked that name, and he rather like the way Guinevere's rolled off the tongue. Still, he wasnt about to tell her that.

She nodded slightly, forcing a small smile onto her lips. She offered him a slight nod of her head when he introduced himself, his name repeating in her mind. It rolled off the tongue nicely, with just the right amount of flare it was almost captivating. She forced herself to appear a little less tense, and this man surprisingly put her at ease.
Her left hand moved to her right wrist, where the first bite mark was, to find where she had bandaged it. Her hand then moved to her neck, to find that bite that had been caked over with blood. It took her a moment to speak. "Why did you save me?" She asked slowly.

He watched her as she examined her wounds. They would heal in time, assuming Dracula didnt come back for a second helping. The odds were he was back in his castle, doing God knows what.
Her question was an obvious one and they were bound to run into it eventually. Slowly, he began pacing around the room.
Jacen: Well I couldnt have a place near my home littered with bodies and bones. The next thing you know the villagers will crying out obscenities as they break down my door. Besides, I hate werewolves.
Leaning towards her while still keeping away, he regarded her.
Jacen: So why were you fighting him?

She smiled once more before she replied. "It's what I do...what I was brought up to do....all I'm good at." She replied and offered him a shrug of her shoulders. She never let her guard down to anyone, under absolutely no circumstances, but she was slowly finding herself trusting his man. Never had she allowed herself to trust someone, and now she felt as though she could tell this man...Jacen...anything.
She moved slowly onto her hands and knees and crawled a little closer to him, as a sign of trust, and then sat once more where she was a little closer to him.

Intriguing, that was the proper word for it. That described her. He didnt know why. Humanity had shown nothing but contempt for him since his resurrection. She, however, was showing some sign of trust. Well...that wouldnt take long to destroy...once she knew the truth, that is.
Jacen: Raising to be a hunter. I suppose the Knights of the Holy Order have an amazing program of training.
He looked at her then, his eyes reading hers for any reaction.

She smiled slightly. "Training?" she asked with a sarcastic grin. The first time I killed 'In the name of God', they sent me after a werewolf with a round of silver bullets and a prayer. I had no training besides what my father taught me. The second time they send me after a vampire...knowing nothing." She said with a smile. "That was the most horrible experience of my life..." She said softly.
She crossed her legs beneath her body, sitting on her calves and rested her hands in her lap. She pushed her dark hair back, arching a brow at him.

Jacen: A vampire, you say?
He asked, raising an eyebrow. So she was not only a hunter, but a rather qualified one. That made her even more dangerous, and even more interesting.
Jacen: Must have been terrifying. Was he a demon vampire? A mist vampire? Or did he have some stange power?
He asked with a hint of mischief in his eye, though he hid it rather well. Whomever this vampire was, he/she had probably met its end thanks to this woman. So, now he was just curious.

She smirked slightly. "A demon. Once I got the upper hand, it was easy to defeat him. The only reason Dracula won was because I could not get the upper hand. Now that I know how he ticks, I intend not to let it happen again." She said firmly, nodding her head to reinforce it, then spoke once more. "What about you, Mr. Lucifer? Should I be afraid of you?" She asked sarcastically.
She had a feeling that this man was a vampire, but she was not going to assume. Besides, if he was, he had not attacked her yet so she wasn't worried yet.

Her thoughts rang through into his ears. She suspected. What reason was there to lie to her now?
So... let's see where your trust goes now...
Jacen: I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, ok?
He watched her eyes as they never left his. Smiling, he leaned a little closer to her, throwing caution to the wind.
Jacen: I am a vampire...
He felt the smile reach his lips, showing some of his teeth.
