Erinion sewered her connection to the Network and stood up. 
"Oh no, not [i]again[/i]." 
"I have to go check it." She replied to the room behind her, slim fingers nervously tapping the perfectly clean glass table. She could feel the paranoia taking over and it was just the matter of time before she would do something silly. 
[color=DarkGray][i]"Kill it."[/i][/color]
"Silly like going out while there's a vampire leaving a trail of bodies, you mean?" 
Erinion frowned as she glanced through the high windows, the night lights softly glimmering floors below her. The view was the reason she bought this apartment in the first place; being miles above everything else helped her to clear her head a bit, she felt like she could pick and choose which human she is going to play with next. 
"Exactly, and since you can have anyone you like, why go out [i]now[/i]?"
"It's mine." She spun around to the room, frown still gracing her features. "[b]Mine.[/b] I'm not having anyone touching my toys." 
"Sure thing lovely."
[color=DarkGray][i]"Drink it."[/i][/color]
"All I'm saying, you can find another one. They're all yours to play with." 
Erinion nodded as she strolled through the room. "Of course they are." 
[color=DarkGray][i]"Tear off its limbs and let us play."[/i][/color]
"Stop it!" She snickered behind her back. "We're keeping it safe until it finishes the painting. You know that. I know that." 
"Stay here lovely, screw the painting, screw the artista. It's safe here."
[color=DarkGray][i]"Stay."[/i][/color] Soft whisper in her ear almost made her change her mind. Paranoia levels were at maximum and if she had the choice she would've stayed here, locked the door 'till someone deals with the idiot leaving his victims around like that. 
"Stupid." Erinion muttered taking one slow step closer to the door. "I want that painting. It needs to be alive to finish it."
"The last three times you went out, he was okay. Breathing." Her hand was at the door knob already when a pinch of suspicion entered her thoughts. Really, she could just stay here. There were enough blood bags secured in the fridge, just in case something like this happened - she could stay cooped up in her apartment for days if it came to it. "There's no need to put yourself at risk, again."
"Need to check the toy." She replied to the empty room.
[color=DarkGray][i]"Risky."[/i][/color]
Erinion sleeked her hair one last time before opening the door and heading out.
