Re: New York City Sanctuary
Gwen sighed as she took the shirt from him, putting it on. It fit surprisingly well on her, not showing too much, while not being overly big on her. She laughed slightly as she did.
"Well you should feel honored. You and that other guy that left are the only two guys who've ever seen any of my body naked that I haven't given a good zap to afterwards."
She laughed slightly, though she turned serious after Zale's comment.
"Wait ... you did the surgery Chris? That means you had to touch bare skin ... and you didn't get zapped?"
Chris hesitated for a moment until he was sure she was dressed again before turning to look at her, nodding.
"Yes, and while I could feel the electrical charge present within you, no, it didn't harm me at all."
Gwen blinked for a moment.
"Uh OK. Pardon if it sounds rude but ... what the hell are you? Zale was the first person I've ever encountered who didn't get zapped to death from touching me, and now you? I have an idea as to what she is but ... you?"
Chris sighed again before responding.
"For lack of a better description overall ... a teleporting vampire, specifically Sanguine Vampirus."
Now it was Gwen's turn to look shocked.
"I thought they were completely extinct. Whatever. Still ... that's kind of awesome, and I have to admit, that kinda turns me on."
At Chris's sharp look she laughed.
"I'm kidding, I wouldn't try anything, even if you're probably the first guy I've ever met since before I was 16 who could even survive doing anything with me."
Chris grumbled something under his breath, then paused as he looked at her.
"So you weren't born always like that, it didn't show up until ...."
"Until I turned 16. My first 15 years I was completely normal, or so I thought. Then on my16th birthday ..."
She trailed off, a dark cloud over her lovely features, unable to continue. Chris however seemed to get the idea of what had happened from this, and her earlier comments, his features softening somewhat.
"I'm sorry about what happened to him. Gwen ... you couldn't have known, it wasn't your fault."
"Yeah, well tell his family that. I had to go into hiding and give up the life I knew because of that, and because they blamed me for being a freak. Said I was too dangerous to be allowed to exist, tried to have me murdered. That was my first taste of killing someone and planning to. The assassin they sent after me, I jolted him and killed him defending myself. Ever since I've mostly kept to myself, rarely have contact with anyone if I can avoid it, though I do what I need to in order to survive. When I ran into Kate again ... I thought she'd be afraid of me, she knew what had happened. She told me about this place though, and after letting her leave without me, I gave it some thought. Decided if I was going to come join you folks, I needed to have something worth my entry. So I may have stolen some information from the Cabal. And then they started hunting me."
((Gonna give Zale a chance to reply before I have something real fun and awkward happen lol))
