Vampire Hunter - Let's Stake Them All

Chapter Eight: New Beginnings?

I sighed as I woke up the next day. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him still leaving. My heart nearly broke when I thought about what I was about to do. I kissed his forehead softly and said some things I never wanted him to hear when he was awake.

“I love you,” I whispered as I left the room quietly. I couldn’t stay, it was my worse fear. I could feel the tears leave my eyes as I left his house. The night air welcomed me. My eyes darted back and forth, searching for any danger. When nothing seemed to be immediate, I ran as fast as I could.

I got as far as I could, a few cities away. I got myself a room at the hotel in town. When I was alone, the tears flowed more, unwanted. I cleaned myself up in the bathroom and made a warm bath. My hope was the bath would calm me. It almost did but it was entirely relaxing. I couldn’t help but think about how he would feel when he woke to see me gone. I closed my eyes and took in the smell.

I promptly grabbed for the towel when I was finished. I wrapped it around me and headed to the main room. I stopped dead in my tracks when I noticed I had a visitor.

“Cyrus,” I simply stated his name, not hiding the anger I felt.

His face formed a smirk that I wanted so badly to knock off. “Why so much hate for me, love?”

“It’s because of you I’m vampire. Please forgive me for hating you for it,” I gritted through my teeth.

He simply shook his head and walked towards me. I was unable to move my feet, something about him captivated me. I’m sure if I had a beating heart it would be beating rapidly.

“You left him, why?” He asked as he continued to walk to me. My mind felt so invaded at that moment.

“To be with you,” my voice sounded so robotic and I couldn’t stop the words from leaving my mouth. My mind pleaded that he’d stop but he didn’t. When he reached me, he placed on my cheek and kissed my lips softly. I kissed him back unwillingly, my arms wrapping around his neck. His kiss was intoxicating, addicting. My mind continued to scream at him.

Just stop fighting it, he voice breaking through in my mind. And as soon as he said it, my mind eased and I was no longer fighting it. I felt so drunk on his kisses, wanting more and more. When I thought he was going to continued, he stopped and pulled away.

“I want you but I don’t want to have to control you to do so,” he said leaning his forehead against mine. I felt him let go of my mind and I had control of my body back. I didn’t move away from him. I didn’t feel like I was in danger, plus he seemed so sincere when he said he didn’t want to force me to be with him. It made me smile a bit but then I thought of Andros and the smile faded. I just left him because it’s what I had to do. And there’s no way I can be with a werewolf.

I took a deep breath and looked at him. He looked so much different than he did the other night. The other night, he was going to kill me but now he wanted me? I didn’t understand it. My mind couldn’t grasp it. Something didn’t seem right.

“How can you go from wanting to kill me to wanting to be with me?” I inquired.

He raised an eyebrow at me. “Who said I was trying to kill you?”

I gave a perplexed look. “Wait, so you weren’t trying to kill me?” I asked, at this point I had forgotten he had killed my family. I had a feeling he had a part in that.
