 Regret is such a pointless emotion
Playing defense had never been Silas’ strong suit. He liked to be in the lead, in control of the situation, whether it be fighting or flirting. His half-human companion had taken that option away from him and now Silas was scrambling to regain the upper hand. Dark eyes confirmed Kit and the feeder were on the stairs, heading toward freedom where they could apparate away from danger, but as Silas turned to follow them, he felt a strong hand grab his shoulder and pull him back, slamming him to the floor. “Ooh, do we like it rough? Sorry, you’re not really my type.” The vampire lunged at him, fangs drawn, but Silas countered, grabbing the bloke by the back of the neck and slamming him face first into the stone floor. Silas leapt to his feet, hopping over the fallen vampire and dashing toward the stairs, the others hot on his trail.
He was on the stairs, climbing upward faster than Kit’s half-human abilities should have allowed, but Kit had the head start. Silas would surely have been left to deal with the vampiric horde while Kit played hero and carted the feeder off to the hospital only to find out there was nothing to be done to save for poor sod. Much to his surprise, Silas found a little party happening at the crypt’s entrance; Kit on his back with a vampiress towering over him, another vampire lunging toward the not-so-rescued feeder who was slumped against the wall. Silas dove for the female, knocking her away from Kit and tackling her to the ground. The force had pushed them both out into the open night’s air, damp grass beneath them as they wrestled but it was brief. A hand placed perfectly on each side of the woman’s head. A quick snap. She was limp and Silas was instantly on his feet, pulling Kit out of the mausoleum and disapparating the pair of them before anymore chaos came up through the crypt door.

 But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder Suddenly, the female vampire was flying through the air and out into the graveyard beyond the mausoleum doors. Silas. Free from her grip, Kit forced himself up, the male vampire still going for the feeder. Kit gripped him by the back of the shirt and plunged his dagger through the vampires neck, severing the bone with a sickening crunch. The feeder was back on his feet, wandering towards the doors, and Kit moved towards him as the vampire slumped to the floor, dead. He was about to grab the feeder and hoist him back over his shoulder when he felt Silas' hands grabbing hold of him. "No!" Panicked, Kit reached for the feeder as Silas began to disapparate. He felt his stomach pull, the familiar spinning sensation like his limbs were being torn apart, but the feeder's wrist was clasped in his hand as they spun through time and space, landing in the dark. Kit immediately looked down to see if he had managed to bring the feeder with them. He was there, alright, but he was badly splinched, his arm hanging off at the shoulder. "No!" Kit dropped to the floor beside the man. "No, no, no, this wasn't supposed to happen!" The man barely noticed anything was wrong with him, but there was blood pouring steadily down his shirt. _______________________ tag: Silas Zhang words: 257 notes: <3 outfit: You have to earn the smile.[googlefont="Rock Salt"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

Regret is such a pointless emotion
A sturdy floor replaced the soft, muddy grass beneath his feet as his living room came into focus around them. Damn, he had tracked mud on his rug, though it appeared a little dirt would be the least of his tidying up problems. Stupidly, Kit had still tried to save the feeder upon their exodus from the graveyard and now the sod was laid out, splinched and bleeding out on his expensive Persian rug. The smell of nickel hit Silas’ nose instantly and he felt a craving roil inside of him. The adrenaline pumping through him wasn’t helping him any as it heightened his already keen senses. Silas snarled, internally fighting between sudden hunger and empathy. Not for feeder, there was no point in empathizing with the dead and this bloke would be dead shortly, but with the poor misguided halfling who was sobbing at the dying man’s feet. “And what was it that was supposed to happen tonight? Surely it wasn’t gathering intel…” Silas sneered at the short-sightedness of his ‘partner’ and turned away from the delicious sight of the bleeding man laid out before him like Sunday tea.

But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder The man's heart stopped. He'd lost too much blood. Kit ran a bloodied hand through his hair, heart thumping wildly in his chest. What had he done? He should never have agreed to go to that vampire lair in the first place. He had worried about it, taken it on if only to keep his siblings from being asked in his place. He should have refused Dumbledore. So he hunted vampires, that didn't mean he was equipped to go into a feeding den and come out in one piece, without wanting to end whatever horrors he found there. He had been foolish to think otherwise, he knew that now. Now that this innocent man had died because of him. He would have died at some point anyway, but it didn't have to be tonight. Silas' snarky comment snapped Kit out of his tormented thoughts, and he stood, turning fast and closing the gap between himself and the vampire, anger tainting his handsome features. "You had plenty of time to gather intel without me," he snapped, his face inches from the vampires. "If you didn't need a babysitter to make sure you're actually on our side, I wouldn't have needed to be there tonight at all." Yeah! If Silas was trustworthy, then he could have gotten whatever information they needed by himself. Kit was just a tag along now that he thought about it. Dumbledore had just been using him to keep an eye on the potentially shady vampire. And now this had happened. Kit felt like shit. Guilt, anger, desperation, and funnily enough, desire, all churned inside him in a tumultuous cocktail. His eyes burned into Silas' as he waited for the vampire to say something. Anything. _______________________ tag: Silas Zhang words: 323 notes: <3 outfit: You have to earn the smile.[googlefont="Rock Salt"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

Regret is such a pointless emotion
The slowing thump-thump of the feeder’s heart finally stopped completely. The blood flow would be next to halt, and then the corpse would grow cold. He was becoming less appetizing by the second. Small blessings, thought Silas as he moved further from the bloody scene, waiting for some half-cocked retort from the emotional half-vampire. In a flash Kit was standing before him, the air having parted against the younger man’s speed and the sound of his footsteps amplified by the squishing of blood underfoot. Kit scowled at him, handsome features contorted with rage and a false sense of superiority. The ignorant look of youth. “Albus has never questioned my loyalty and I’ve given him no reason to do so now. You, on the other hand, appear to be well-versed in killing creatures you disagree with on principle and it is clear why Albus wanted someone to keep you in check.” Silas brushed past Kit and headed for the kitchen. He needed to not be in the same room as fresh blood and a good drink would certainly not go amiss in this unpleasant moment. “Foolish me for thinking you could be trusted to go to the loo on your own. Next time I’ll have to escort you.”

But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder Silas snapped back, giving Kit the distraction he had been wanting. He needed to think about anything other than the dead man on the floor behind him. His jaw clenched when Silas tried to flip Kit's argument on him. It was childish, something one of Kit's siblings would have tried when they were younger and pettier, just to annoy him. Well, it did annoy him, but Silas brushed past him and left the room, leaving Kit to stew on his own. It took him a minute to realise that he had no idea where he was. Golden eyes flashed around the room, and he realised that he was standing in the middle of a living room, the rug on the floor ruined with blood. Was this Silas' home? Kit hoped the rug was expensive. He turned on the spot, examining his surroundings. The vampire definitely had fine tastes. Kit might have admired the room under different circumstances, but he was so pissed off he couldn't bring himself to even consider admitting that a vampire had good taste. Instead, he rubbed at his temples and moved to the door Silas had walked through, finding himself in a kitchen. "I have every reason to hate your kind," he said quietly from the doorway. "You know nothing about me."_______________________ tag: Silas Zhang words: 252 notes: <3 outfit: You have to earn the smile.[googlefont="Rock Salt"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

Regret is such a pointless emotion
The kitchen was a stark contrast of dark wood and white marble counters. A few lighter canisters of cooking utensils and a bowl of decorative fruit softened the room only slightly. Silas drew his wand and summoned a few bottles from one of the higher cabinets, and with his free hand he pulled down two cocktail glasses and a bar shaker. Movement signaled the half-vampire’s presence in the doorway and although he was muttering, Silas heard him perfectly well. “I’m sure. Supremacists always have their reasons…” His voice was flat, factual. He did not even bother to look up at Kit as he spoke, instead he busied himself with his drink, ignoring the woes of the younger man who only wanted to be absolved of his sins; ruining Dumbledore’s chances of obtaining vital information for the Order and for essentially killing the man who’s body still lay in Silas’ living room. “Are you expecting me to ask? I’m sure I know enough.” Nimble fingers pulled a lime from the bowl on the counter and began slicing it into evenly sized wedges. “Law enforcement. Vampire hunter. Order member. You’ve a savior complex, my dear.” Silas put down the knife and squeezed the lime wedges into their respective glasses, dropping them in when he was done. “But you were so busy trying to save one man who was already dead, that you risked the lives of nearly every other witch and wizard – and vampire – in Britain. You probably need this more than I do.” He had crossed the kitchen to the doorway where Kit stood brooding and extended one of the cocktail glasses to him. The other glass rose to Silas’ lips and he paused just before taking a sip to add, “after all, I at least managed a bit of useful information for Albus before your heroics interrupted things.”

But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder Kit was about to tell Silas that he wouldn't tell him anything if he did ask, when the vampire made an astonishingly accurate appraisal of him, making Kit grit his teeth in annoyance. He had been rash, he had let his emotions get the better of him, and he had messed up. He knew it, but he was no hero. He never tried to be. He had issues with vampires for good reason, and he worked as an Auror because he was good at it and it made the world a safer place, but a hero? No. Kit clearly was not cut out for that role, not when it came to the crunch and personal wounds were poked and prodded. All he could think about was whether or not his mum would be proud of him for at least trying to save someone like her. He had failed, and the man was dead, but by pure accident. If they'd gotten away cleaner the feeder would still be alive. But the fact that he had tried, that he had stood up and done something to fight back, surely she would have been proud of that... Kit would never know. The drink that Silas placed in his hands barely registered in Kit's mind, but he took a gulp of it automatically, pulling a face as the unfamiliar taste of alcohol burned his throat. It didn't burn as much as his mistakes did. After a shudder, he downed the rest of the glass, handing it back to Silas. "What information did you get?" he asked, voice gruff. He couldn't bring himself to meet the vampires gaze. He was pissed off at being judged by a killer. He was pissed off at himself for letting his emotions get in the way of a mission. He was pissed off at the man on the floor in the next room for getting involved with vampires in the first place. He was pissed off with his mum for damaging him so badly. And he was pissed off that he was pissed off with how good looking Silas was. He contemplated asking for another drink. _______________________ tag: Silas Zhang words: 393 notes: <3 outfit: You have to earn the smile.[googlefont="Rock Salt"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

Regret is such a pointless emotion
Silas watched Kit down his cocktail quickly, his eyebrows raising in an impressed expression. This was nothing like Kit nursing his drink earlier in the evening, which honestly had Silas wondering if the handsome play-hero was one of those sober sorts. Apparently not. “Another?” he asked almost tauntingly, sipping his own drink as the half-vampire’s empty glass was pushed back into his hand. “Generally my house guests say ‘thank you’,” he turned away from the Auror and moved toward the counter where the bottles and mixers were set waiting, “and they don’t leave temptation in my living room.” Silas could smell the dead man’s blood from here, congealing on the fibers of his rug and seeping through to the hardwood floor below. Though he had no intention of feeding on the corpse, it was in poor taste to throw a warm body at a vampire who had abstained for as long as he had. With another wave of his wand, Silas sipped his drink as Kit’s glass was refilled, a little stronger this time, and he turned to look at the still brooding man. “He’s offering the vampires something that is too good to pass up. Many of them are joining his ranks, though not all.” Another sip. “We are not all of a single hive mind,” he remarked pointedly.

But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder Kit would not be saying thank you to a vampire for a drink that he didn't want or like. He didn't bother telling Silas that. Instead, he took the second glass offered to him and downed that, too, another shudder running through his body at the foul taste. He wasn't a drinker. He didn't enjoy alcohol or its effects, but he needed something to help him cope with the fact that Silas had just referred to the dead man in the next room as a temptation. Would Silas have helped himself to a different kind of drink if Kit wasn't there? He couldn't bear to think about it. Between that and the news that You Know Who was recruiting an army of vampires, Kit felt like he might throw up. "We are not all of a single hive mind." The words elicited a harsh laugh from Kit. "And yet you've just admitted the dead man on your rug is a temptation." He shook his head. His father was the only vampire he knew that could resist that temptation every time, to the point where it wasn't a temptation any more. As much as he wished all vampires would choose the path his father had, Kit knew it was a foolish notion. _______________________ tag: Silas Zhang words: 247 notes: <3 outfit: You have to earn the smile.[googlefont="Rock Salt"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

This boy was not easily pleased, something that both irritated and intrigued Silas. Had he wanted to, Silas could have overwhelmed Kit and had a fresh meal right then and there, but the dashing wannabe hero was too cocky to recognize the danger he might have put himself in, were that the case. Luckily for Kit, Silas was on a diet; one that did not include sucking dry the delicious little morsel giving him lip. “You’re marveled at how brave I am for admitting it, I see.” He sipped his drink, dark eyes locked firmly on Kit’s face despite the younger man trying desperately to avoid making eye contact. “Shall I list off the other temptations in front of me, or would you rather use your imagination?”

But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder Kit's face flushed. He could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks at Silas' comment, which meant that the hypersensitive vampire could also clearly see the reaction that he had caused. Kit didn't need any kind of imagination to kick into gear right then, he needed to focus on feeling shit about the dead guy, he needed to focus on keeping his wits about him around a vampire that he didn't trust in the slightest. He did not need to focus on the way Silas was looking at him as though he were something to eat. And not even in a vampiric way. Kit chewed on his lip, avoiding eye contact at all costs. He hoped to Merlin that Silas couldn't read minds. "I think I'd rather not know," he muttered, feeling completely overwhelmed by the events of the night and the effects of the alcohol and the handsome vampire in front of him. _______________________ tag: Silas Zhang words: 190 notes: <3 outfit: You have to earn the smile.[googlefont="Rock Salt"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

Regret is such a pointless emotion
“That’s a shame,” Silas said, an amused tone in his voice. Kit’s warmed cheeks and increased heart rate had not gone past the vampire who, currently, was making no attempts at disguising his attraction to the younger man. Devereaux had fire and conviction and knew his way around a knife, which was strangely a turn on. If not for his total and obvious disgust at having to be in league with a vampire, the pair of them might have been half naked by this point but Silas restrained himself in more ways than one.
After a beat, Silas evaluating the man in front of him, Silas’ demeanor changed. “I’ll report back to Albus and let him know what we’ve discovered.” He set his glass on the counter. “Do me a favor and dispose of the corpse in my lounge before I return.” Silas brushed past Kit as he made his exit toward the door, picking up the familiar scent of adrenaline as he passed.

But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder Kit nodded in agreement when Silas said he'd tell Dumbledore about their evening. He tensed, but only slightly, as the vampire brushed past him on his way out of the kitchen. A shiver ran down his spine, but he put it down to being asked to dispose of the dead body in the other room. He supposed it was his fault the feeder was there in the first place, it was Kit's responsibility to deal with the aftermath. Sighing, he waited until Silas had left and slumped against the kitchen wall, running a shaky hand over his face. All he could think about were the other feeders in the underground club that needed to be saved, but he knew that none of them really wanted to be saved. He couldn't rescue them, but for his mother's sake, he had to try when he found himself in a position to. It had gone horribly wrong tonight, and as he hoisted the feeder's body up off the floor, he could feel the weight of Liliana Devereaux resting over his shoulder. "I'm sorry," Kit whispered hoarsely, before apparating out of Silas' home. _______________________ tag: Silas Zhang words: 225 notes: <3 outfit: You have to earn the smile.[googlefont="Rock Salt"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |
