|  Arianna's Room
 |  Late Morning


She felt horrible when he came in and she heard people whispering and he shut the door, but she refused to look at him. Falling apart was only going to make her emotions more unbalanced. There was also the fact she wanted to growl at him and almost had. It wasn't his fault and she didn't want to hurt him but her natural reaction was to try and scare him away. Get him to run so she could either chase or let him go. She was hoping she could let him go, but then she suspected he would never run. Part of her wanted to see what it would take to get him to, though. She hated that part of herself but it was all she had right then.


"You're right." She said and let the shirt she was holding in her hand fall to the floor. She stood there motionless for a whole second and then moved vampire speed to the window and opened it, but didn't lean out or even get out. She just stood looking out into the morning glow and warmth shining through and melting snow. "I don't need to pack, because I don't need these things." She concluded, realizing she didn't need clothes because they were all memories of a person that she knew she wasn't and never going to be.

"It's stupid to pretend and that's what we've been doing." Arianna moved farther away from him and opened the only other window on her 7th floor room. She figured the farther she was from him the less likely she'd have to look at him, smell him, want to touch him. Change her mind. "I'm not going to be anymore human and you are going to die. Whether it's by my hands or not, you'll die, and chances are it'll be an accident and my wrong doing. I can't do that to you, and I can't do that to your family, and they need you and deserve you. Not me. So ... fuck off, Reid. I'm leaving."
