Beth sighed. She stared intently at her laptop trying to figure out why she was being denied access to her BuzzWire account. All day she had been working on her account with a new story and was waiting for her boss to reply. Suddenly she felt two slightly cold arms wrap around her shoulders and a whisper in her ear.
"Your birthday" stated a man with the smell of iron on his breath.
Beth jumped at the warm breath on her ear and neck. She turned to face him but was met with a passionate kiss. She was surprised but melted into it. The only break was to take a breath. Beth loved him, Mick St. John, so much and they had come so far in their lives, it seemed like only a few years ago that she found out Mick was a vampire. At first she was a little scared to be around him but warmed up to him quickly. They had been living with each other two months, yet they have never slept in the same bed all night. Mick slept in a full length cooler in the next room.
"How did you know?" Beth asked with a slight smile on her face. " Well you can't keep everything from a Vamp", Mick playfully sneered.
He was madly in love with Beth. He had known her since she was only six. He had been her "Guardian Angel", ever since he rescued her from his crazy ex-wife Coraline. He loved her so much that he would give his own life for her when ever needed. He couldn't think of how his life would be with out her.
" I have to run over to Joseph's place. I will be right back. If you would like to come with me you can." Mick looked at her with hopeful eyes.
" Ummm….I think I am going to go to BuzzWire and make sure Andrea got my story. If you don't mind." She was afraid that she was coming off rude. Hopefully he wouldn't ask why.
" S-sure. That's ok. I- I was just making sure." he looked hurt but wanted to make Beth happy. He did, though, want to ask her why she didn't want to go. He thought she liked Joseph and they were starting to warm up to each other. Maybe she was still a little scared of him. He was a little scary at times.
"May I ask why you do not want to go with me?" he looked at her with questioning eyes.
"I-I'm umm.." Beth's cell phone rang.
"Hello? Yeah, I'll be right there. Yes I'm sure. Ok, bye." She hung up, " I'm sorry I will call you later and we can talk then." She kissed him quickly on the lips and was caught by the arm by Mick.
"Please stay and talk now." Mick asked, almost pleading to her. "Please?"
" I can't. I have to go. I promise we can talk later." She pulled away and walked out the door and closed it gently. She leaned against it and sighed. She felt like she had pushed her self away from him at that moment. She felt that her life was slowly but surely changing.
Mick could see her. Her face twisted in sorrow and worry. He knew that she was, for some reason, pushing her self away from him. Why? Why was she doing this to him after all she was the one who stayed with him after he was found in the alley was out side Joseph's house. He loved her and he knew she loved him but why would she so this?
Mick walked out the door and decided to go a head to Joseph's place and talk it over with him. To see what he thought about Beth acting the way she was.
He was two doors down from the elevator when a flash of silver light plunged it self into his heart. He was paralyzed and couldn't breath. He looked up and saw a dark shadow cross over him. He blacked out. He tried to pull his eyes back open but there was a warm tingling feeling creeping into his bones. He felt a pull on his arms. Then…..nothing.
