Dock was empty for once, no worries of having to work through standing people waiting to leave and come into the city, the usual tang of nasty fumes burning one's nose no matter how long one's lived there or visited. Maybe one would get use to it more if one remains there, but Nerissa finds herself unable to remain long anymore. There were no sounds of gun shots going off. No clang of blades striking against one another somewhere down some secluded alleyway. She stood and waited, as if afraid to go further, pupils a sliver of black in a field of winter cobalt. In the end she ventures outward and passes out of the dock house to walk towards the library. Such an old habit and she caught herself just as she was ready to set a boot down on the first step. Her eyes lifts and stares at the door then her shoulders fall and she turns away to venture around it, through the alley that comes out infront of Haven nearly.
Standing. Waiting. Slow deep breaths. She was so intent on staring ahead, through windows that's been broken so many times leaves one to boggle why not invest in bulletproof sooner or later. But she's seen the strength of others. They had no trouble, most likely, ever being kept on one side of that glass. Its the voice that snaps her out of her daze, that familiar drawl that makes her body clench up unconsciously, gaze falling slowly to the street before her after hearing, "Can't stay away, eh?"
Nerissa refuses to look up or at Omega, before saying, "....guess I'm a sucker for punishment..."
The vampire put her slightly on edge, still unsure what to think, inspite of reassurance that the harsh words spoken not long ago that made the demoness weep without control for several days. She didn't understand what Nerissa was going through. The decision wasn't easy nor was she wanting to but knew what was best. It didn't take long for Omega to say, "Sucker for attention more like." Her crimson head shaking back and forth.
She couldn't stop her limbs from trembling or her stomach to feel suddenly as if there was an iron ball in it, the one woman she'd looked up to..her words cut her like a knife once more. Already, the vampire walked away from her, the CEO of Omega Institute..her home for so many years before...Her thoughs close up and she shakes her head with a sigh and turns, Neri's heart in her throat and the demoness again in that state of wanting to give up.
Never had she come for attention from anyone. Toxian City had been her home for so long, where she grew up practically for several years. She come in hopes of something familiar again, seeking what she missed so much. The wedge of pain lodged into her soul, loniness squeezing so tight that her body ached from it. She didn't seek attention..she only hoped there were still a few..even one..friend left she could trust. Talk to..but only one seemed to be there for her and the thought of him eased the pain. Her fallen angel. Her heart's keeper.
It was this last thought that had her head back to the dock to go and seek out her heart's desire, the one that fought to keep her when she tried to even let him go to end the pain and torment of her mind. Refused and held so tightly with whispered words of his need to have her, the desire to hold her small body even as she tossed and turned in a tormented sleep fueled by fears and emotions. Here, she returns not to her home but to Dreams...a new haven...and his arms does she seek, for he is the only one that wants her and refuses to give up on her as she feels so many have done with her already.
