Because you love her……by jersey girl in oxford (sue)
This is a departure from what you're used to from me. My sci-fi/horror roots were calling, and I became possessed. This is not a Babe or Cupcake fic. There is language, angst, and is kind of a sick and twisted love story. This is dedicated to one of my best friends, Karyne, whom I've recently gotten back in touch with. She was the friend I had mentioned that we wrote fan fics together before that's what they were called. Standard disclaimer….don't own or make money from JE's characters. Hope you like it. If not….shit happens.
Prologue
It was only by chance that he saw the news report. Trenton's hottest celebrity's latest car came to another explosive ending. The reporter gave a brief background on Stephanie Plum, the Bombshell Bounty Hunter. Even from the black and white still photo, he knew it was her. 'S'…..he knew it would be another 'S'. She was known as Stephanie now. He finally found her.
It became increasingly harder and harder to find her over the past two hundred years. Apparently, absence did not make the heart grow fonder. He had done some research on Stephanie Plum. She had actually married this time. There were two other men in her life. One was a cop, and the other was a mercenary. Neither man was good enough for her. She was his. She was always his.
He still remembered her pain all those years ago when he was taken from her. He remembered it like it was yesterday. The creature that turned him had long since been destroyed. He resisted turning Sabine. He refused to condemn her to the same life of darkness to fulfill his selfish need for her. He managed to stay strong for the past four hundred years. He could track her soul every time she was reborn. He found a way to be part of her new life each time. Sabine always remembered him. Having her back in his life gave him the courage to continue. Then, he suffered the tremendous pain and loss upon her death…each time. He was able to maintain this existence….until now.
He could no longer live this lonely life. Live. Life. Poor choice of words. Existence. This was closest to the truth. He just existed. It was time. He finally came to the decision to turn Sabine. Make her immortal like him. Then, they could be together forever. He feared chancing another life time and losing her for good. She had strong feelings for the two men in her life. This weakened their connection. Having Sabine come to him again and again was the only thing that made this hell on earth close to tolerable.
His heart and mind were dueling over the morality of his decision. Sabine loved the sun. She could never intentionally harm a living thing. The sun would be fatal. She would have to feed to exist. She would struggle at first, but would be there to help her. No, he had to have her.
Standing in the parking lot of a small, three story apartment building, he watched her pass by a window. "Soon my darling, Sabine," he whispered into the darkness.
