Penny raised her eyebrows in surprise. What a guy, asking a girl out who is covered in vampire blood and surrounded by rolling heads. It was almost comical. [color=f49ac2]"Oh. Um,"[/color] Penny didn't have a reason to say no and Charles wasn't a bad-looking guy. He was actually pretty handsome, but Penny didn't think she had the best judgement in character. She supposed his sudden shyness and awkwardness was endearing? She sighed and gave a small smile. Why not? He clearly was interested in her and Penny wouldn't mind a little distraction. Perhaps he'd help her get started in the hunter world too and give her more details. [color=f49ac2]"Sure, I don't see why not."[/color] Penny glanced at Christian and she felt heat rise to her face that he had witnessed that. Her heart quickened a little bit, but she brushed it off as being nervous for going on a date with Charles. [color=f49ac2]"I, uh, I'm gonna head out. You have my number."[/color] She gave him another smile before walking out of the house and towards her car. 

The sun was still between midday and sunset, so not much time had passed while inside. She rushed to her car as fast as she could in an attempt to avoid looks from pedestrians. A woman covered in blood leaving a house and rushing to a car? Not suspicious at all. She got into her car and started the engine. Her face heated up again when she remembered what she told Christian before she ran in to fight the vampires and she groaned, resting her head against the steering wheel. What was she doing? Telling Christian she cared for him and then going on a date with Charles? Penny stared at her dash through the big hole of the steering wheel and frowned. She only told Christian she cared about him as a friend. A pang of guilt and uncertainty throbbed in her chest and she furrowed her eyebrows. If that was true, then why did she feel like this? [color=f49ac2]"Christian?"[/color] She called out. She saw him at the house, but it didn't seem like he followed her to her car. Maybe he was giving her space? Even so, she wanted to see him and celebrate her victory.
