Chapter One
Stay With Me, Please!
Erin woke up with a start, she was wrapped around something fury, something warm. She blinked a couple of times, trying to figure out where she was, her hand shifted across the fur she was laid on, it was cold, lifeless. With a sudden and harsh jolt, she remembered the night before.
"Beowulf?" She asked, softly. She traced her hand across The Great Wolf's fur, no movement followed. She shifted until she was propped up on her elbow, and looked into his big, beautiful eyes.
"Beowulf, please, wake up!" She wailed, burying her head once again into his fur. "Please, I need you, please, please don't leave me, I-" She struggled to find the words to say.
"Please, I need you, you and me, we were supposed to beat The Dracula's, please, please, I can't loose you, not you as well, I've said goodbye to too many people. I've lost my best friend, I've pushed my boyfriend away from me, Vlad hates me, Ingrid has gone, please, please, wake up!" Big heavy tears were rolling down her cheeks, a waterfall of emotions flooding out of her at rocket like speed.
"Baby-bat!" A soothing voice burnt into Erin's earlobes like hot candle wax. She spun around, her face still buried in Beowulf's fur.
"Bert!" Erin shot up, and ran with inhuman speed towards her lover. He picked her up, kissing her and spinning her around like they do in those cheesy romantic movies. "You came back! You came back!" She repeated, kissing him as much as she could, wherever she could.
"Of course I came back, Er, of course I did!" He soothed, relieved to be back with his Erin at last. He had taken rather longer than he had wanted to away from her and it had just about killed him, Vampire or no Vampire.
"I thought I'd lost you, I thought you'd gone, I thought.." She babbled, not quite knowing how to express the relief that was now flooding through her freely. "I thought I'd driven you away as well."
Bertrand laughed, not an unkind laugh, not even a soothing laugh, he just laughed in awe. "Baby-bat, I will always be with you, by your side, no matter what, I could never leave you, I hate myself for leaving you, I really do." His eyes drifted across to where Beowulf's now lifeless body was laying. "Er, who's.. who's that?"
"That's-" Erin released him and ran back towards Beowulf. "Bertrand, can you help him, please, can you?" She pleaded, begging him.
"Erin, he's gone, there's nothing I or you can do, Beowulf's gone, baby-bat, let him rest."
Erin wasn't listening anymore. "Bertrand, how do you know his name?" Wonder was etched in her voice like a stone age carving. "I never said his name."
"I know of him, Er, I used to look after him when he was a cub, he hasn't changed, one bit." Tears welled up inside his eyes and spilled onto Beowulf's shiny fur. "I used to look after his Wife and Children too, but then-"
"Then The Dracula's killed them." Erin finished, sadly.
Bertrand squeezed her shoulder protectively. "Er, there together again now, they can be a proper family again."
Erin shrugged away from his hand. "That's not the point I was making, Bertrand!" Anger suddenly surged through her. "The point, Bertrand, is that the family we loved and trusted slaughtered his family, and his own family rejected him. Me and him, Bertrand, we were like the same people, he was the only one who really understood my pain, and now, he's gone, and I swore to him I would avenge him." She paused, gathering her thoughts. "Vladimir Dracula has submitted me to torture and humiliation over the past few months, married that bitch, chained me up like a dog, kept me in a cage, turned me into a monster, I will have my revenge." Her eyes were an eerie shade of red, her fangs had dropped, and a hint of power could be detected in her voice.
Bertrand, wary of the power that suppressed his Girlfriend's body, stepped away from her. "Erin, calm down, calm down, baby-bat." He stepped towards her again.
"Get away from me!" Erin spat, flinching at his touch. "You left me! You can't tell me what to do anymore, nobody can! I am my own person, for the love of garlic, I am going to finish Vladimir Dracula-" She shouted, her tongue rolling on her pronunciation of Vlad's name. "I am going to finish him like he did me. And I will destroy anyone who gets in my way, I mean it, gone is scared, pathetic Erin, I have lost too many people, too many people, Bertrand, too many!" She sunk to the floor, cradling Beowulf's paw in her hand.
"Erin, please, stop. This isn't you, please, stop." He crouched down next to her, she had never, in his eyes, looked more beautiful, more vulnerable than she did now. She peeked up at him through her wet lashes, black trails of mascara slithered down her cheeks like a serpent looking for it's prey. "I know Vlad hurt you, he hurt us all, he lied to us, but you can't just decide to kill him, baby-bat, it doesn't work like that, you know it doesn't, please, calm down, come here!" He held his arms out for her. She crawled over to him and clambered onto his lap like a schoolchild wanting attention. She began to sob, sob and sob, her eyes were a constant stream of water, her nose all red and blotchy from the crying.
"I love you." She wailed in between sobbing. "I really, really love you, Bertrand." She snuggled closer to his chest. "I'm sorry."
Bertrand raised his eyebrows at her. "Sorry? What are you sorry for, baby-bat, I should be the one apologising, not you. I love you too, forever, forever and a day." He kissed the top of her head, and using his index finger, trailed his finger across her sodden cheek, black streaks stained on his fingers, making Erin look like an Indian Chief. "You're beautiful, I mean that, please, calm down, I love you so much!"
Erin said nothing, just bit down on her lip, trying to disguise the tears that were still falling. Bertrand shifted underneath her, trying to communicate without words.
"Stop them tears now, you're safe, I've got you, I've got you." He soothed, kissing a tear away from her mouth.
"I love you." She said, simply. "I really really do." She laid down on his chest, and he cradled her like a newborn until she fell into a contented, soothing sleep in his arms.
