Mina nodded feeling a little better now that she was leaving the circus grounds. She let out a small sigh as the car started to move, though she knew that eventually the workers would come and try and take her back.
Though by the way Pavi was looking down at her it was obvious he wouldn't give up without a fight.
"They won't let you keep me," Mina said looking up at him still shivering a little, "I'm to valuable to the circus, one of the money bringers. I'll have to go back there eventually."
As Mina stretched out she was surprised when her legs hit something. She sat up to see what it was and was shocked to see that she and Pavi were both sitting in a wheelchair. And that both of Pavi's legs were in casts.
"What happened to you...who did this to you?" Mina's fear was replaced with hot anger at whoever did this to Pavi. Her mind went instantly to Luigi, knowing full well how much his brother hated him, and that Luigi had been the one to scar up Pavi's face so it wouldn't be a stretch that the older Largo would break his legs for fun.

Let them try and stop me, Pavi thought bitterly to himself. He was a Largo, for fuck's sake. He got whatever the hell he wanted and everyone else could get over it. And this time, he was willing to give up whatever it took to keep the thing he really wanted.
The moment Mina finally noticed the wheechair, however, Pavi winced, cursing inwardly. He hated to have the attention of the conversation be shifted to his own problems, when Mina was obviously in need of more attention than he was at the moment, but it wasn't like this was something that he could just play off as not a big deal. Regardless, he waved his hand, as though to dismiss the issue.
"I assume-a the same person who did-a this to you," he said, a bit of edge to his tone at the memory. He'd intended to tell Mina..how could he avoid it? But he hadn't thought that it would be quite so difficult. He was ashamed of how weak he was, now more than ever. He didn't want someone he cared so much for to know that he'd been hurt in an attempt to fight for her.
"Hyde," Pavi spat the name, scowling deeply. Shifting his eyes to Mina, he took her hands into his, concern masking his anger. "Is-a he the one that-a did this to-a you? I will-a kill him. Forget about-a me, if-a he did this to-a you, I will have-a him killed. I...was not-a so successful myself...but my men will-a be."

Mina felt her heart go in her throat, when Pavi said the person who hurt her also hurt him. If that was the case...neither of them were safe. But she felt her fear and panic turned to shock and anger.
Hyde was the person who harmed Pavi, not that made her feel any safer.
"Hyde wasn't the one who hurt me, it was someone else...someone even more dangerous than him. She said a sharp edge in her voice, she lowerd her eyebrows into a scowl thinking about Hyde hurting Pavi. Now that she had calmed down somewhat, she noticed bruises and cuts on Pavi. No doubt sustained from Hyde as well.
"I will never forgive him for harming you, Pavi. Any love I felt for him, or may have felt for him, is dead." She stroked one of his wounds with her thumb as if to sooth it. "Did he hurt you...because of me?"

Pavi was suddenly confused. If Hyde wasn't the one who'd harmed Mina, then who was? A new anger filled him suddenly, at the thought of some stranger, someone even he didn't know, hurting Mina when he was away. He cursed himself inwardly at the thought that he might have stopped it, if only he'd been there. What if it had been when he and Hyde were fighting? If not for his own gallant stupidity...
As Mina began stroking his wound, however, Pavi was momentarily distracted. Frowning, he brushed his fingers beneath her chin, pulling her closer. "No...not because of-a you, amore," he said, sighing a little. "Luigi told-a him...about us. And I...it was-a my fault. I tried to...to defend-a you, and...acted like a fool in-a the process," he sighed, looking down for a moment. "I tried-a to fight him...not a wise-a move on my part," he added, rolling his eyes.
Suddenly, he brushed his fingers farther under her chin, staring intently for a moment at her throat. Gently moving his hand towards her neck, he asked quietly, with a frown, "It was-a the one who gave-a you these, wasn't it?"

Mina was about to ask Pavi what exactly had happened during their fight, how badly he was hurt, and why he felt the need to defend her. But then he brushed his fingertips against her throat, on her scars.
And instantly the fear and panic of her attack, of her attacks, came flooding back. The fear, the pain, the way the vampires cold mouth and flesh felt on her. The smell of death. It was like it was happening right at that moment.
Mina flinched away from his touch, hot tears stininging in her eyes, letting out a sharp cry of pain and panic. She trembled in fear, trying to supress a scream. She felt like her life was in danger.
"No..No...I-I-I don't want to die!" She said in a panicked sob, for a moment forgetting that Pavi was there with her, that The Count wasn't there with her. All she could think about was dying or worse at the counts hands.

Pavi's eyes widened sharply, and he quickly withdrew his hand from her neck. The woman's sudden flinch made her neck more visible to him, and he was now alerted to the fact of the dried blood and the reopened wounds that lay there.
"Mina..." he was able to said in disbelief, wishing he he hadn't been right, hadn't been so brusque. He immediately wrapped his arms around the vampiress, minding her neck, and attempted to sooth her. "Shh, shh, calm-a down, amore! I am-a here! You're safe-a with me!"
He hoped. He knew that whatever, or rather, whoever, had come for Mina had come with a purpose. And, with what little she'd told him of her past, he was able to piece together that the one to do this to her had been the same to give her the scars in the first place...and hurt her beyond imagining. And he would make sure that whoever it was would pay dearly for it, or die trying.

"I'm not." Mina sobbed into his chest. Her whole body shaking."I'm not. He's unstoppable, immortal, and one of the most powerful beings to walk the face of the Earth." She started sobbing again harder this time.
"Pavi..wants me. For whatever reason he wants me, and now that he's found me again there's no escape. He'll rip you to shreds if you try and stop him."
She looked up at Pavi her eyes swollen with tears.
"I have seen him do the most unspeakable things to men. Rip them apart with his bare hands. And that's not the worst if he...somehow changes someone into what he is. They become monsters, souless, and there is no turning them back. The only way you can save someone is to kill them before they kill anyone, kill him, or try and bargin with him to let them go."
She paused. Trying to, but failing, to hold back tears.
"I....I've seen what happens to someone when they get turned, Pavi...."
She tried to tell him more, about her best friend Lucy being turned. About her losing any sign of her humanity, about her kidnapping, feeding, and killing children. But she couldn't. It was just to difficult to talk about so soon after that monster showed up again...and attacked her.
"I would rather die than be that." She finally managed swallowing back her sobbing. Mina looked up very seriously at Pavi. "I mean it Pavi, if I was turned into a real vamprie you would have to kill me, I wouldn't be me anymore. Even if you wanted to believe a part of me was still down in there, I wouldn't be human anymore. And I'd try to kill you."
