"Not a bad thing? Not a bad thing?! I'm a creature of the night! An undead freak! Everyone's gonna hate me! I don't even remember who I am or what I've done and people are gonna hate me just because of what I am! I... I'm scared..." [b]She looked angry at first. He didn't understand. He didn't know what this was like, having a hope of something good coming out of this torn away. But that anger turned into terror as she spoke. She was so scared of what people would do now... Would they hunt her? Try to kill her? She was just a little girl... She couldn't do anything to help herself... How would she survive in this place.[/b] "I don't know what to do... Where to go... Where I am... If I have parents... What if I do? What if they're worried about me?" [b]She began to cry again now, saddened and terrified.[/b]

"Uhhhhhh...." Ike rubbed his head. He had... well, absolutely no clue as to what to do. There was somebody crying right in front of him, it was probably his fault, but he didn't have a clue as to why or what. He thought that the best way to comfort her was by answering her questions, but then after realizing what the answers would be... he decided against. "Well... I s'pose that I can help you with finding those answers," He responded softly, expression showing concern. "And we can also find a way to cure the vampiracy... I think."

[b]She sniffles, and the look behind her eyes goes from grim to slightly hopeful. A cure? Could it be true? And he would help her find the answers to the questions she asked? This guy was nicer than anyone else had been so far. She looks up at him now, the last of her tears running down her face.[/b] "Y-You're serious? You'll help me do all that stuff? I... I don't know what to say..." [b]She stands up slowly, brushing the dirt off her dress. She looks at him for a second, then hugs him suddenly. She hugged him rather tightly as well.[/b]

"Wh-whoa there." Ike gently hugged the girl back, before rest his hands on her shoulders and softly pushing her back a small bit. "Yeah, I'll... I'll do what I can," He replied. "Although I'm not exactly sure of how much I can do." After all, Ike knew next to nothing about vampires, and if he told the girl what Sabine had told him, then the girl likely would never've wanted Ike to tell her about herself. So he decided to just play along with the fact that they'd just met, cocking his head slightly to the side.
