We might have issues - Johnathon's Haven

She walked into the house, closing the door and locking it.

"John!  We need to talk!"

"What is it my love?" He said meeting her and taking her in his arms

She wrapped her arms around him.

"Okay, take this in the manner it's meant. You haven't been randomly cutting women's throats in PSL have you? Or have large blank spots in your memory?"

"No " he said in horror. "Hell no. "

She nodded.

"I thought so. But you should know, there's a man doing this that has been described as you."

"I see. And I suppose your people are up in arms "

She held him close.

"Yes. But not entirely in your direction. Rai will not judge unfairly."

He kissed her hair "so she will say nice things as she kills me ? When did this start ?"

She shook her head.

"No, she will only kill you if it is you. And there have been two deaths. One just in back of the Regency."

"Since when did killing mortals become a crime ? Tell her to get her tight little ass here and we will settle this now. "

She looked up at him.

"The Masquerade could b being broken. That is why she's annoyed. But I came to you first because you are my love. I did not believe that you were capable of this, but it could have been something in your body doing this. Thus asking about the blank spots in your memory. With that information, I will make sure you are left alone."

"It will never be enough. I am easy to blame, and none save you will care if I take the fall. The more this happens, the easier it will be to blame me. "

She shook her head again.

"please, trust me. You will not be blamed. You do not control shadows, do you?"

"No. The praetor does, as does the new keeper in town "

She shook her head.

"No, it was male. This makes it bad. Keep an eye out?"

"I want a sworn oath from your sheriff that I am cleared " he growled. "I trust this naught. It reeks of a setup "

She nodded.

"I understand that. But trust me, please. I will not let this harm you."

He nodded and gave her a passionette kiss. "I love you. Come, let us hunt. See who dares impersonate tall hat. "

She smiled.

"Can't I just hold you for a moment?"

He smiled and held her close.

She seemed to want to meld with his chest, she was holding him so tight.

"You were worried weren't you?" He whispered

She just nodded.

"My poor little razor " he said holding her close. "Another drink ? Make us closer "

She leaned back to look up at him, meeting his eyes.

"That is as close as I can go. Are you sure?"
