Guinevere sighed. Vampires... She shook her head a little and looked away, to the wall behind Mara. She shrugged a little, and lowered her head. "Yes. I do, of course. Who doesn't? Wake up on a fresh bed, the sun illuminating your lover's body, his arm around you, his lips against your hair. The scent of coffee. The never-ending buzz below your flat, the cars, the voices. The mudane things, the routine. I never thought I'd miss my routine.", she smirked and shrugged a little. "I miss everything. But I don't regret anything.", she lay her hands on her belly.
She stood up and walked to the other side, slowly, so that Mara wouldn't grab her, thinking she'd might want to escape again. Instead, she went up to the altar, touching the broken knee of the statue held up in a cross. "I used to go to the church when I was a little girl. Always wondered why we couldn't, shouldn't touch this statue. Jesus wouldn't like to be a famous figure, would he?", she turned around, to Mara. "I never liked the Church. The Bible. But I've always believed in God.", she shrugged a bit and turned around, to the Vampire. "And now, I even miss the church.", she laughed a little, shaking her head. She pulled it up, looking at her. "You come from a Nordic country, right? Finland? Sweden? Where?"

"Sweden" the vampire answered. "And I've never been to church and I consider religion a waste of time. Though then I'm from another country, another life style, it's not common to attend church in Sweden unless you have to during weddings or funerals. Either way there's lots of alcohol involved. Or in my parents case there were lots of alcohol and pills"
"We gave up on God a long time ago, though the nordic Gods are still lingering around where I belong. When I was a child I was taught not to anger the Gods that lie dormant and to honor them at the right time of the year."
Mara suddenly smiled, a much softer and prettier smile than she'd done before. "I miss my brothers though, my twin brothers that I alone could tell apart. I miss my own blood"

She smiled and lowered her gaze to the floor. "I never had siblings. My father left home when I was very young and my mother was never there. I guess we are opposites. The last thing I miss is my own blood. Never missed them, never really cared."
Guinevere sighed and looked up, before closing her eyes. "Until now.", she smiled and looked down at her belly, caressing it with her hand a little. "Until now...", she repeated in a whisper, crossing her legs at her ankles while leaning back against the altar. "It was sudden and unplanned. But I don't have regrets. Sure the morning sickness suck, and all the crap that comes with pregnancy, but... Ah, I can't explain. You don't understand love.", she smiled and shrugged a little.

Mara chuckled to herself. "We were three children living with two mentally ill parents that tried their best even with the demons in their head, in the middle of nowhere up in the coldest parts of Sweden. When my brothers disappeared here my mother, one day, simply walked out barefoot into the winter and never came back. She probably drowned herself somewhere, who knows" she lazily shrugged as if it was no big deal. "My father hasn't said a word since my mother left, he's probably still sitting in the big mansion silent and alone. Well, as alone as someone with severe schizophrenia can be"
"So" she began, crossing her arms across her chest and studying Guinevere. "What will you do when your secret's out? It won't be long until you start showing more and more. I highly doubt they'll be stupid enough to believe you're just getting fat."

Guinevere blinked and looked up at Mara as she spoke about her parents. She wanted to say she was sorry, to apologize if she forced her somewhat in bringing that up, but sympathy was probably the proud Vampire wanted. Thus, she simply closed her eyes and tipped her head to the side, only pulling her head up when she asked her question.
"I still have a some few months.", she answered, glancing to the once majestic ceiling, that now was the home for spiders, dirt and darkness. "... I really don't know though.", she shrugged and sighed, looking at her feet. "Probably disappear. Hide myself somewhere. I can't let myself be the target of any twisted plan a Master or Mistress comes up with.", she shook her head a little, that light brown hair swaying softly. "I don't know for sure. Yet. But I couldn't tell you if I knew, now, could I?", Guinevere looked up at Mara and her lips' corner twitched a bit in a smile.

"But 'Flickan min'" she purred and leaned forward, her face mere inches away from Guinevere's. "If I want to find something, I find it ..and if I want something, it's mine for the taking"
She moved her head slightly, the top of her nose brushing lightly against the area between Guinevere's jaw and ear. "I always find that which I want" she whispered before moving back with a smug look on her face. "And playing cat and mouse is one of the things I enjoy the most. I love to hunt"
She blew a small kiss before turning her back towards the other woman, once again staring off into nothing-ness.

Guinevere didn't flinch with her approuch. She kept only very observant. When Mara pulled black and blew that kiss, she kept her eyes on Mara's every movement. She kept quiet for a few moments, as if carefully thinking of an answer. Maybe she wouldn't reply. But, alas, she finally opened her mouth.
"Don't play the game with the wolf, then.", she said with a warning touch on her tone, pulling herself away from the altar and walking back to the benches, fixing her tunic a bit. "I'm not a game. I'm not a prey, nor am I a predator. I just am.", Guinevere frowned. "I have no interests whatesoever in games or ridiculous bets. You Vampires can bet your life in whatever you may like, but I am not betting mine. I have a child inside me growing. It's way more important than anything in this whole world."

Mara didn't turn around but from the tone of her voice you knew she was smiling. "Oh but if I don't play 'cat and mouse' with a wolf, then what fun is there? Everyone needs something to keep them on their toes, to keep them wanting to live. It's at the moment of death, the dying realizes that he's never wanted to live as much as he's doing right then and there"
"And you forget something, it's not the Vampire part of me that loves the hunt ...it's the human in me. It's the part that was born out on snowy frozen wide open spaces" she began and spun around, her eyes burning into the back of Guinevere's head. "It's the little girl that found an undying thirst for blood when she watched the first human she'd ever killed die at her feet"

Guinevere didn't turn around, even with the weight of those icy eyes upon her head. She sighed and shook her head, straightening up. She turned her head a little, so that she could see Mara over her shoulder. She was a daring person, to turn her back on a Vampire.
"I don't care what you did.", she began, shrugging idly. "I haven't killed anyone. Yet. If anyone tries to harm my baby, I will have no hesitation. Anyone at all. Even you.", she turned around this time, slowly. "So I'm now walking out that door and you won't stop me. Because, if, indeed, this was a game, you would be the mouse.", Guinevere frowned.

Mara snorted and picked out her packet of cigarettes, tapping out one of them into her hand. "I'm the mouse 'flickan min'? I'm not the one running for her life, scared shitless that someone might find out her dirty little secret"
"I am not the one giving birth to a baby in a world where people like me can suddenly pop up inside every church" she continued while lighting her cigarette.
"I'm not the one creating innocent life into a world that the Devil created while God was sleeping"
The vampire inhaled deeply and a small, delighted sigh fell from her lips as smoke escaped her lungs. "I'm simply the one that hasn't once told a lie since entering the house of God. Wish you could say the same 'flickan min'"

Guinevere frowned and took some quick steps towards Mara. She stared at her feet for some moments before, suddently, like a wolf attacking his prey, she brough a hand up and slapped Mara's face hard.
"Don't call it dirty little secret. It's not dirty. I won't stand here and let myself be insulted. I might be a simple omega, but I am not afraid of an Hunter such as yourself. Don't think of me as helpless; I don't want nor need your sympathy. Take it elsewhere, to your angstfilled Mistress and Beta, take it to the mirror, where a girl stands lost. You are more afraid than I am, for you can't even name your fears. And don't even dare to tell me you have no fears, for that is a lie. You are probably more scared than I. So don't... Don't you dare to tell me what I do or didn't.", she was pratically hissing these words, standing close to Mara, her hand stinging softly from the slap.

Mara, even though her cheek stung and turned red, didn't move an inch and her face never twitched. When Guinevere was done talking she calmly took another long drag of her cigarette and exhaled smoke that circled around the other woman's face. "If you want to faze me Wildcat, you'll have to do better than that" she hissed, like that of a snake stalking its prey in the darkness, her voice echoing around them.
Her free hand was clutching Guinevere's face in seconds. "And those who have nothing to loose don't fear" she hissed once more before crushing her own lips upon the other woman's. Though before Guinevere could react Mara sent her stumbling backwards, but not with enough force to make her fall. "I can honestly say, 'flickan min', that you're filled with more bullshit than most others"

Guinevere coughed when the smoke was blown upon her, shaking her head a little. She didn't even see the hand coming to grab her chin. The girl clenched her jaws together, biting on Mara's lips when she crushed them against her own, trying to free herself from her grip by pushing her away with her hands on the Vampire's shoulders. Frowning, the girl clenched her hands into fists.
"I am?! You're the one filled with bullshit! Acting so tough! Just who do you think you are?! If you think I'm scared of you - of any of you - I congratulate you. I am! Because you are all a bunch of ridiculous kids, trying to be tougher than each other. You are all crazy! Mad! You are just a bunch of children, of spoiled brats! Assuming to be better than others, making ranks! Ranks! The only reason I am a Wildcat, is because I don't want to be homeless! I don't care about Tribes and their stupid quarrels. Kill yourselves at will, but leave me the hell out of this! I am scared of you all, because you are savages pretending to have any kind of respect, of social ability. The only honest people around here are officially insane - Pixie, Poet and Berserker! The rest of you, liars! Bastards! You are just stupid teenagers lost in your own personal dramas, and blaming the others for your misery!"
She was going to go on with her rank, but the stress of the situation and her own state made her so dizzy, that she had to hold herself up on a bench, the other hand over her mouth, as if she was going to throw up.
"There is a reason... for me to be here. But it concerns no-one but myself.", Guinevere gasped a little, weakly. Feeling dizzy.

"Are you done now?" she camly asked and slid her arm across Guinevere's back, holding her up. "I'm not here because of ranks, I am simply here to find my brothers and for the thrill of the hunt. I was brought here because I'm good at what I do and never once have I blamed anyone else for what I've done or become. Don't think you know me 'flickan min'"
Her grip was stern as if proving to Guinevere that it was no point in resisting and she carefully helped the pregnant woman to a close by altar. "Sit!" she ordered.

Guinevere did sit, but probably only did it out of concern for her baby. She rose her hands to her forehead and sighed, nauseated from the stress. Even so, she looked up at Mara and frowned deeply.
"And don't think you know me.", she whispered in an almost hiss.
Guinevere turned her head away, proudly, like a wolf that, even if she had been beaten of sorts, she still carried the dignity and pride of a hunter. Her right hand lay on her belly, while the other was massaging her forehead.
"Damn. Two people already know of this time-bomb secret. It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to be the fat, lonesome girl until I found what I came here to look for.", she frowned, talking to herself, as if the Vampire Hunter wasn't there.

"Well, you can't be the fat weird girl too much longer" the vampire frowned. "I hardly doubt your clan is THAT stupid, though you'll never know I suppose"
Mara inhaled once more from her cigarette and placed a hand on her hip. "I remember once, my dad had me and my brothers crawling armed across the kitchen floor. I think I was around 10, or possibly even younger, can't remember now and it doesn't really matter anyway. He was sure there was someone out there, out to get us, to kill us all and my father was ready to do everything necessary to protect us. What I mean is that you do whatever it takes to make sure you keep that which is worth protecting, safe. In the end, that is all that matters"
The vampire wasn't looking at the other woman, but up at the roof, just as Guinevere wasn't looking at Mara. "In the end, the only ones that are worthy to stand side by side with you at the end, are the ones you love enough to sacrifice your own life to protect"

Guinevere smiled, more to herself than to Mara. She slowly stood up. They were about the same height. She stood awfully close to the Vampire Hunter, looking at her in silence. Danger was sure by that closeness, nose almost touching, but never tauntingly so. The pregnant woman smiled again and touched Mara's chin with her long index finger, the thumb under it, pulling her head down a little, so she'd look at her.
"Listen to yourself, Snow White.", Guinevere arched her fine eyebrows and her lips curled into a motherly smile. "What you speak of... What you are saying... How can you say what you did about love, all that bitterness and thorns that you speak of so acidly, when you know exactly what love is inside your heart?", the hair that had been pulled behind a ear, slipped away, curtaining her face with its silken, coffee waves.
