...Luna? Luna! [Sam Merlotte scratches his way up from the dusty ground, smearing still-hot blood and entrails into the soft earth of the diamond. He gains his footing and looks about, a monster at first glance, all wild blue eyes and a thudding heart. He's still naked, coated in his kill, but these are just details, beneath notice. Luna's face sears across his mind, pale and sweaty, her eyes rolling up. Luna, the woman a universe away.]

Goddammit! [he roars it at the sky, pulling something long and slippery from his matted hair and throwing it at the ground, where it falls with a wet 'plop'. The shifter stares at it and catches his breath, then uselessly swipes his bloody forearm across his bloody face.] Fuck.

Comments

[Lucifer watches him intently the way he has for so many other dark conversations. But this time there is no comforting hand, no welcoming voice. If Sam has lost the person he loves most at home, then he knows what Lucifer is going through. A microcosm of it, anyway, which is enough for now.]

I'm glad you killed the vampire.

[shifting]

[more importantly, for Sam, it means he feels even more alone here, and needs Lucifer all the more.]

Me too. ...It felt good. [finally able to do something against someone threatening what he loves.]

[thelightbringer]

Yeah? [Lucifer smiles and pulls Sam back over against his chest.]

Tell me about it.

[shifting]

[a little smile in return, and he scoffs, turning over so they can face each other, still lying on his chest]

Which part?

[thelightbringer]

All of it. Anything that comes to mind.

[He'll just be carding his fingers through Sam's hair, as if he can coax the truth out of him if he relaxes him enough.]

[shifting]

[oh, that's good. Keep that up. Sam relaxes into his touch, closing his eyes again]

...Well, we were there in the first place 'cause some vampire bastard took Emma for his pet. Things just went downhill from there. And it was just... one more incident where people were tryin' to take advantage of shifters, of me and my family [and the word is out smoothly, without doubt or notice] and I was fuckin' tired of it. We aren't fuckin' pets or freaks for humans to take potshots at or someone for the goddamn werewolves to kick around whenever they want to throw their weight around. And here was one more goddamn fanger lookin' at my mate and her daughter like they were just some problem she could do away with.

[thelightbringer]

...He took Emma for his pet? [Vampires are disgusting. Never mind that Lucifer has essentially taken people to be his pets here and at home...]

You don't feel regret for what you did, do you?
