Vampire Strikes

Lucretia slowly extended her hand but stopped leaving her arm slightly bent 'you... you want me to?'




'you dont have to' Halo whispered handing her the rose 'if you want to stay... i can make it so you can...' his voice was slightly sorrowful 'though it goes without saying that i wish for you to come with me, a woman like you, ive never met before' he touched her face 'one who resists my charms, who smells so sweet, who is not afraid of me, a woman i could meet once in a lifetime, and mine is a long, lonely life'

"Of course i do" Damien smiled slightly, " just dont want to hurt you"




Pandora looked down, "such sweet things you say, its just hard for me to leave a place i have grown up in" she replied opening the window fully so he could get in.

Lucretia closed her eyes for a moment 'i want.. i want to come back' she was sore and cold and tired and hurt



Halo stepped inside 'sweet things i say, have meanings, sweet things i do' he picked up her hand in his and kissed the back of it 'are proof'

Damien held out his hand for hers to take, "Then let me take you back"




Pandora blushed, "I have set it all up... so i guess i am ready" she whispered.

Lucretia fully extended her hand to touch his, looking up at him with her tired, bloodshot eyes




'my fair lady, you dont have to give up all' Halo reassured her 'we can stay like this if you truly are not ready' he kissed her hand again 'but what i have, is a gift, i want to share it with you, a lonely life it may have been, though not with someone to share it with'

Damien picked her up in his arms and her stuff and headed back to his home.




"I am ready to come with you.... anytime now one of the maids will read the note i left so i cant turn back now" Pandora replied.

Lucretia clung to him enjoying the warmth that came with it, she felt like she might cry out of relief that she was not abandoned


Halo wrapped her up in his arms 'and are you ready for this life i lead?'

Damien moved back inside the house smiling slightly.




Pandora nodded.

Lucretia sniffed she had been out in the cold all day


'shall we go?' Halo asked

Damien layed down on his bed with her in his arms not letting her go, but he moved the quilt over her so she would warm up.




Pandora nodded, she wondered what his place was like.

Lucretia shook her head 'im muddy, ill dirty your bed' she whispered



Halo sat down 'have you gathered things youd like to take?'

"It does not matter" Damien replied keeping her there.





Pandora nodded pointing to her bag.

Lucretia gripped at him harder as she started to cry slowly showing him again her vulnerable side, she was pretty silent and she buried her head in his chestt



Halo picked up her bag and slung it over his shoulder before he held out his arms for her 'are you sure thats all?'

Damien played with her hair gently keeping her close.



Pandora looked around her room and nodded.

Lucretia gripped at him biting her lip as she stifled her crying


Halo moved, he would take her back to his place 'now this may well be your last look'

Damien just kept her close playing with her hair.




Pandora looked around one more time, she didnt think she would miss it.

Lucretia looked up at him slowly, her eyes still watery 'have you.. not eaten?'



Halo waited patiently for her, smiling slightly at how easily she had come

"I have" Damien replied, "Before i came o get you"




Pandora walked over to him she was ready.

Lucretia smiled slightly 'good' she touched his face looking into his eyes, seeing no hint of the flash of red she had witnessed




Halo picked her up gently 'hold on tight my dear'

Damien smiled at her and hugged her tight.




Pandora hugged him tight in her arms as he said to hold on.

Lucretia closed her eyes slowly, and her cheeks still damp with tears she moved slightly closer to his face



Halo moved off quickly to take her back with him

Damien just kept her in his arms not doing anything but playing with her hair.





Pandora burred her head in his chest clinging onto him tightly absolutely petrified.

Lucretia bit her lip slightly 'i ... eh.. i..im..sorry'




Halo soon had her outside his house 'there all done' he kept her close, smiling slightly at how cute she looked

"For what?" Damien asked.





Pandora still didnt move she stayed clinging to him.

'when i,... made you angry' Lucretia whispered her eyes glazing again as she remembered how he had scared her




Halo held her with one arm as he opened the door for them
