Shameless Backstabbers

[Cooliomafia 399]

      In the midst of the night, a young 'Ame was travelling the streets of Celein with one thought on his mind, "Get her blood." He hurriedly traversed throughout the streets of Celein, his emerald green cloak concealing his nimble form. He finally reached the home with a deep breath, his emerald green gaze washing over the structure with guilt beating down from above, he brought a meek hand to begin knocking on the door, "P...Poppy?" he called out with a quivering voice.

      A few moments later, a small statured Mali'aheral opened the door, the corners of her lips began to curve into a gentle smile, "Karin'ayla, Solan." she greeted him quietly. She then tilted her head before she inquired, "What are you doing out here... so late?" Suddenly, a small sound of branches cracking was emitted from behind Solan, yet neither took much notice of the noise.

      Solan narrowed his gaze at Poppy, "Erm... well I have a small inquiry..." he mumbled, a sly smile creeping upon his lips, his emerald green gaze meeting hers, a small silence was met between the duo before it leaped out. Abruptly a hand was gripping Solan's meek form, as everything began to blur, his limbs began to fall limp as he could hear the bewildered screams that Poppy emitted, his surroundings began to spin, as his eyelids began to droop. "P...Poppy... run..." he mumbled quietly, the Darkstalker keeping hold of him as he fell completely unconscious, the last noise he heard was Poppy's door slamming shut and her horrified cries that echoed throughout the silent city. 

      Solan's eyelids began to flutter open as pained groans began to escape his lips, everything seemed to ache as he shifted his gaze around him, taking note of his surroundings. Poppy was seated beside him, a half empty potion seemingly sitting upon the table, it glowed with unknown powers, she let out a relieved sigh as he awoke. She reached for a damp cloth as her gentle hand placed it on his forehead, "Wh...wh-where am I? Wh...wh-what happened?" he murmured, before he sank into a coughing fit.

      Poppy's visage was overwhelmed with worry, "Shhh... shh... you're safe here..." she soothed the man, "They're gone now..." she reassured Solan as she reached for the half filled potion once more, bringing the potion to his lips as she tilted the bottle. The contents rushed into his mouth as his eyelids began to droop once more, inquiries, questions, and issues raced through his mind, yet his malnutritioned form began to drag him to sleep, his eyelids fighting to stay awake, before he fell asleep once more.

Now get me what I asked you for

As Solan slept, Poppy sat in wait for a time, watching with dark-rimmed and tired eyes to make sure that he didn't pass on. Having seen this kind of condition before from being drained as he was, she knew that it was perilous to be left alone and untreated. Every so often Poppy would rise from where she sat to check the windows, keeping an ever watchful eye out for the mysterious Darkstalkers, fearful that they might return.

After a time.. the woman fell asleep sitting besides him on her knees, doing much the same as she had for another who'd almost died just a couple of days prior.
