She had watched him, quietly confused about what he was doing. Finally she followed him from his duffle bag to the bathroom. By the time she pieced all of his intentions together, she realized he completely missed what her intentions were. She looked down at the syringe on the desk/table. yes, she was sure that would be plenty for her experiments but...she imagined dosing herself through her veins, or sucking on the needle....no, she didn't want to do it that way.

As he was going to withdraw his hand from the syringe, she grabbed it lightly. "Thank you...I appreciate that you are so willing to do that...but if your blood is the cure...that's not how I want to end my vampire days.' she looked up at him, "I was hoping to be a bit more intimate...I've lived many years by not feeding enough to kill someone...but if it makes you feel better, I will drink another packet. I wouldn't mind, really." she paused for a moment, "you can even have some reassurance in hand...if you need it..." she said the last part quietly. He had said he trusted her...she had refused to bite him even when she was on the edge of her mind...so, she personally hoped hee wouldn't feel like he needed that much to feel safe with her...but she left it as an option anyways..

His racing heart entranced her slightly, being able to hear it and feel it everywhere she was touching him. intoxicating for her really...and then -

"You want me to give you my blood"

"Yes." she said earnestly before blinking back to trying to be able to think beyond her persistently loud thoughts of just wanting his blood. She swallowed again, willing her fangs not to come out from excitement alone. "It would not be much, but if you are the cure...and if that's why you're being stalked, I want to find out...and..." she looked away...kinda...she tried to look away but her eyes just plastered themselves to his neck instead. So many reasons to bite him...it was a good thing he loved her or this would be difficult...as in she might be dead already for asking level difficult.

Finally she smiled a bit sadly, "You know how obsessed I am with feeling heartbeats...and wanting my own back."

She sighed slightly and pat him, "Connor...you don't need to be bitten though. besides, if a vampire wanted to bite you for the purpose of turning you, they'd get up close and cling onto your torso so you couldn't shake them off." she said that last part sort of flatly. That was how vampires did it alright, a very good reason they went for the neck despite there being a few other places with easy access.

"what if...instead of biting you to turn you...they were planning to bite you for your blood? Look here." she peeled back the bandage a little bit for him to get a peek, "If this was just a little lower...it would be on your vein, where humans cut themselves to die via exsanguination. Blood loss. You being a hunter, it would have been an excellent way to get a few drops, since you guard your neck more than your hands." She paused, replacing the bandage and letting his hand go if he should want to. "Marl thinks you have anti-bodies to fight off the vampire infection." she said quietly, looking at him more directly, "That you're a living...breathing...walking...cure."

Elizabeth shut her laptop shut suddenly, the wave of nervousness and hope growing to almost overcome her as her eyes travels back up to Connor. But another sensation was also there. Determination.

She smiled sort of nervously at him in return for his attempted half-smile. "Just a talk. " she said, 'I wanted to ask some things about the uprising and confirm a theory of mine. And then he gave me his own theories."

She swallowed, setting aside her laptop and going over to him. "Connor...he has a most interesting theory, and I'm really the only one who can test it right now." she sighed, motioning that she wanted to sit on is lap. "I have his permission to ask you about it..." she looked down at his newly bitten hand and took it gently in hers.

"...why do you suppose they bit you, if they want to turn you?"

She wasn't pleased to hear that there was no real reason to hope for another cure, but she only seemed mildly disappointed as she was still distracted by her computer at the time. A silent nod would have to do.

When the email came back, however, her response was more pronounced. Her eyes widened a bit, and she quickly stole a glance back up at Connor, and then back down. A moment went by as she registered what it all could mean. Soon enough her fingers were flying as she typed back as response with all of her practiced typing skills.

If she had a heartbeat it would be flying off the charts right now. A sudden mix of nervousness and hope flooded her.

Would it be alright for me to test your theory? I mean, it is just a theory, and knowing their intentions for sure would be a great help. Also, I've had my breakfast, so it shouldn't pose any danger to him. If I'm human by this time tomorrow, we'll know how to cure vampirism without the need of old magical items that may or may not work only once.

Elizabeth warmed up her blood as usual and watched him s he geared up, looking almost like he was going straight into a vampire den. She smiled, nah, even he would need more gear if he were to do that. She frowned slightly as she wondered how many more there would be in the next tail..because she was sure of two things right now. They were after him for a reason, and there would definitely be more.

Sipping at her breakfast, she went over to her laptop and turned it on. After a surprisingly quick log in, she opened up her email account and started an email to Marl. Then she sighed and drug it over to her bed and sat with it there. This was more comfortable, but a more important perk, Connor wasn't going to see what she was writing.

"Tell me about those other vampire cures you've researched." she said quietly, distractedly, and she continued making her email.

Marl, this is Elizabeth.
I have regained myself. I know about the dreams, too. There is much I feel I must talk to you about but I am uncomfortable letting Connor know any of it.

First off. I hope you are doing well...I know you're probably not back into the city yet but I'm sure things will be hectic there with all of the new vampires and increase in hunters, most of whom are there looking for me. I apologize for my part in it, though I of course wasn't putting much thought into what I was doing. I was only trying to keep my humanity and not get noticed so much as to have you come after me.

As I'm sure you've gathered from Connor's message, he has been followed and attacked. I'm growing concerned with what this may mean, and why you needed to get to him as much as you did.

At first, I just thought it was you taking responsibility for letting him live but now I'm getting a new picture. He's a hunter trained to be above normal skills so that he may be on par with the supernatural and superhuman. If he were to be turned, his strength and abilities would only get better, and if its whomever is creating all those new vampires, they could force him to use his skills and knowledge to create much damage to humanity and your cause.

Connor is a liability, isn't he?

Taking no pleasure in my thoughts,
Elizabeth

With slow, graceful hands, she peeled off the bandages on his older wounded hand. Once they were off, she gently tended to the wounds, making sure they were clean. She nodded, listening but seemed thoughtful and somewhat somber. "If you think so." She replied quietly, starting to replace what she had taken off.

"We can both contact him. I need to practice the internet still, and I can ask him questions....I am worried for my human friends." she added on. It was true, she had occasionally wondered and worried for the church and those working at the soup kitchen. Surely, any vampire uprising would find a way to rid themselves of the church at least...but there was more to it. Something she needed to talk to Marl about - before she returned to human.

She stopped moving all together for a second. Maybe now wasn't the right time to turn back, after all.

Pushing the thought aside, she finished up tending to Connor. "There you go, finished and bandaged. Anymore injuries though, and I'll tell the local museum that I've found a new mummy."

She picked up the old stuff and threw it away, grabbing a bloodpacket for herself. Breakfast would be a good start to what she felt like was going to be a long day.

Blood in our veins

I'm going to be nice and give you a two day warning, since I see that you are currently online.

Her sleep had lightened enough to the point that she awoke when she heard the door closing behind him. She could tell right away that something was wrong, but it took a moment for it to register what it was that she was seeing. Even when it did, she found herself strangely calm about it.

"They have medicine."

She sighed quietly, taking a closer look at him. He was ruffed up a bit, his hand injured. But she also saw that he had already dressed the wound. She gestured for him to sit down as she rummaged through her stuff. "I'm glad that you took care of your hand. It shows me that you're being careful again....but you forgot to take a look at your other hand while you were at it. I can take care of that without biting you."

She pulled out some of her own wound treating stuff - hey, even a vampire needs to deal with their wounds.

"Maybe we should contact Marl again. He'll probably be ornery about it, but he shouldn't be back at the city yet....and it might be good to make a team to adjust to..."she paused, "....to our situation."

Elizabeth turned over under the covers, indicating that her sleep had lightened and was not so heavy. Still, she was technically asleep.
