*Lefu*
I am in a great mood as I roll up the driveway to my home. It had gone much better than expected and I am happy I didn’t chase her when I had the chance. My girl will come willing, when she realises that a life with me is forever. She still loves me, I had felt it clearly.
This plan is much better. I like how she has made me see everything from a new perspective. I had been egoistic all of my human life, and well my vampire life too. I have always had everything handed to me, so how can I know differently ?
Never have I wanted anything as much as I do now. I had been ashamed for a while when I realised I am in love with a cow. And it has kinda infected all of my life. I have had no desire to hunt or fish.
*Luca*I get off the bed with a bitter sigh and walk into the tiny dirty bathroom. While I look at my tired reflection I pull out my pills.She did it again, lied to me. For fucks sake I have super senses here, I Can hear it in her voice so easily. Why is she doing it ? Doesn’t she love me anymore ? Am I too much ? Am I smothering her with my need ?Another huff escapes me as I see the desperation in my pained face in the mirror. It is like she is slowly slipping away and I have no idea how to stop her.Sometimes I feel like grabbing her and just shaking her or something to make her see that she can trust me. I love her no matter what, even with … well, even if she has a pa
*Luca*“Damn, this is rural”. Twigs laughs as we get out of the car.Just like the last time at the vampire-pigs' place, this is also in a barn that has been outfitted for the event. This is just a lot less fancy and well much older.I give the rusty metal plates on the walls a skeptical glance, several places there are holes that someone tried fixing with plastic covering.As we step inside we are met with the stench of sweat, stale beer and cigarettes, even if it seems like they tried to hide it with cheap perfume.There are piles of huge balls of straw along the edge for the audience, or what the sad collec
*Luca* Finally a medium tall and sturdy man steps into the rink and I turn towards him. We are standing for a moment, measuring each other, but nothing really happens. I turn to look at Twigs who indicates that I should just attack. “Okay”. I shrug and move towards this Torstein guy. The man has finally raised his arms up in front of his face and starts moving in a circle around me. Just hit for fucks sake so I can figure out what kind of fighter you are. But Torstein just keeps circling me, forcing me to turn too. In the end I lose patience and hit first.
*Luca*Suddenly Harold is standing in front me. With wide legs and arms crossed the man gives off a superior attitude. I tense my body, but do not make any notion to appear provoking. One thing is to play with the muscles, it is something else to start a direct confrontation. I do not want to fight with Harold in here and risk people getting hurt, however I am unsure whether the man in front of me has the same sense of responsibility."Good evening”. Harold’s gaze moves to Twigs, who instantly withdraws behind me."You are far away from London, huh ?""Tonight we are". I reply. “Yes, we heard about a good party up here. But you are not happy to let go off the money".
*Luca*Harold freezes as he meets my half-transformed yellow eyes, growling warningly. I stop and raise my upper lip slightly so that my still human teeth appear."The rule is simple”. Harold mutters bitterly. "These people must not be harmed. They are my friends, and I'll break your neck if you as much as think of touching one of them”. He points with an annoyingly arrogant index finger towards me. “And no matter how many beatings you get, you remain yourself. If there comes as much asa canine forward, then you have lost, and I rip your head off. Are you following me ?""What makes you think you can rip my head off ?""Do
Chapter 12*Luca*"So this is your place ?" I catch up with Harold in front of a farmhouse.He had to assure Twigs that everything was in order before I left, despite the fact that I am actually not quite sure. It had helped, however, on the persuasion, as two ladies had tailed past us, and Twigs, like the Dario he is, sneaked after them.“Yes, but unfortunately I am not as good at being a farmer as I thought. I have had to supplement with fishing, and then there is no one to look after the fields or the house”. Harold laughs. "I'll just find you a towel”. He shows me out on a small toilet in the hallway and disappears upstairs."Damn !
*Luca*The alcohol seems to put a light anesthetic on me. Finally, I am able to escape the constant gnawing of unrest that always lays below the surface. The fear that something will happen to Soleil. I can not really do anything from here anyway, so for a single night I might as well forget my miserable life and drink myself into oblivion."Where did the booze go ?" I aske. "I'll pick up the first round”."Isn't there a place where we can be more ourselves ?" Twigs winks at the blonde after we have poured a few drinks inboard.It seems that the blonde is just as keen on privacy, because she nods and leads us down behind where the big balls o
*Luca*While we are crossing the courtyard the wind changes and the fog starts disapparating from my brain. Most of Michala's scent is out of my nose and when I reach for the handle I am clear enough to hesitate.I turn to apologise and send her off, but she basically jumps me, throwing herself around my neck and we tumble into the hallway. In here there is no wind to blow away that scent and her intense aroma is pulsating right into my face. The Wolf goes crazy and I lose all control of myself.Next I know we are in an ice cold room. Even I feel the difference in the temperature.“I can’t do anything in this cold”. Michala pulls away from me, laughing softly.
