Carolyn Sequel

I hope you like the new chapter and please leave a review!

Chapter Four

The argumentative couple headed away from the hallway and into the living room. So much had passed over a few months, but everything was still in the same place as it had been when Carolyn found out about the state Andy's body was in. They had planned to have a DVD day and the film that they had chosen to watch was still lying on the coffee table. It brought back memories for Carolyn, but she refused to cry in front of Andy. He would be well within his rights to think she was being stupid.

"What do you want to know?" Andy asked, wrapping his arm around Carolyn's small body, playing with the long locks of black hair. She let her rest on his shoulder, forgetting her vow to be simply civil with Andy until she found out the truth about why he turned her.

"Tell me about what happened to Jake when that human died" She whispered up to Andy as he nodded slowly. She knew how hard it was for him to tell her about what happened in those weeks when she knew nothing, but she needed to know if they were ever going to move forward on their relationship. Not knowing was killing her. She would have to put Andy's feelings aside for a while until she had figured everything out.

"I'm not going to hold back on the details of the girl's death" Andy warned. He still thought Carolyn was squeamish about everything to do with blood. Carolyn had been a vampire for some time too. She could handle being told about a gruesome death.

"Andy, I'm a vampire too. I can handle anything you need to tell me if it means we can get through this" Carolyn reassured. He was dreading telling her about this particular conversation he had with Jake, but he knew that it would help her, so it was no use to try and protect her from it. Andy didn't doubt that she would find out another way.

"Don't say I didn't warn you..."

Flashback

Andy had managed to avoid Carolyn for the whole day. It was quite hard since they lived in the same house, but Andy knew that Carolyn was scared to talk to Andy. Good, that's how it should be forever. If Carolyn doesn't go near Andy then he should be able to stay away from her too. He can keep her safe.

When the sun set and Andy was free to roam around the house without the sun attacking him, Andy began to get fidgety. He needed another drink of blood and Carolyn's pulse seemed to be like a drumbeat in his head, constantly reminding him of his secret. The few hours that he had to wait to meet Jake were a living hell. Each minute that passed, he got thirstier, but it was soon time.

He didn't bother to say goodbye to Carolyn as he left the house. Andy knew she would say nothing back to him. Why should he be set up for rejection?

Andy started his repetitive walk to the woods, anticipating his second drink of the rich blood that Jake promised him. Finding out about what happened to Jake when the human was murdered had become a niggling feeling in the back of his head. All that mattered was quenching his thirst.

Andy hit the woods and took a few steps in. He could feel Jake again, but he didn't need to, anyway. He had a thought that Jake would be at the same tree that he was at last night. Sure enough, Andy was right and Jake was doing the same cheesy move. He was a silhouette in the darkness, terrifying to anyone other than Andy.

"Have you got the blood?" Andy asked, his voice gruff since he hadn't spoken since last night. Jake noted this as he pulled something out of his pocket. It was a smaller amount than yesterday and Andy couldn't help but be disappointed. "Why did you not bring as much as yesterday?"

Jake scoffed as he handed Andy the blood and began to pace. "Do you want to become a blood addict?" Jake asked. Andy found that he wasn't as desperate for the blood as he was yesterday, but it was still a sweet relief when it slipped down his throat.

"Can you even become a blood addict?" Andy asked between sips, not once taking his eyes from Jake. Just because he finally had his blood, didn't mean he had to be stupid and let his guard down around Jake. Andy didn't trust him yet, but he was happy to take the blood from Jake.

"Of course you can. If you drink large amounts everyday then you'll become crazy for it. Every minute of every day will be taken up by thoughts of blood" Jake explained. "It's best to have small doses every night."

"Why did you give me so much, yesterday?" Andy asked, throwing the empty baggie to the floor and kicking some dirt on it so it couldn't be seen. It would be easy enough for a kid to discover it when they were playing with their friends.

"Your thirst was really bad. You needed a lot to quench that" Jake explained as he kicked a little bit more dirt on the baggie, concealing it better than Andy had.

"You need to explain about when the human died" Andy reminded since his mind could now focus on things that weren't just about blood. It felt good to be full, but it was the best feeling to be in control again after a day of not knowing if you would give in a kill the person who you could be in love with. Jake sighed, but nodded anyway, ready to launch into his explanation of the horrible events that unfolded that day.

"When I was first turned, a guy helped me a lot like I am helping you, but he was a bad person. One night when he told me to meet up with him to learn more about controlling my thirst, he had a girl about nine with him. She looked terrified, her hair was matted and a cut was made on her cheek. One earring had been ripped out and the soul of her shoe was starting to hang off. I could smell the blood from her cheek and then I remembered how he hadn't let me feed for a few nights. This was all a test. He told me that it wasn't a test. He told me that he was teaching me how to kill a human appropriately and then he killed her. He ripped out her throat and she was still alive. He told me that keeping them alive for as long as possible was the way to get them to taste the best. I shouted for help and it worked. Police arrived, but when I next turned back, my tutor was gone" Jake explained.

"What happened?" Andy asked, his fascination and disgust in the situation getting the better of him. Jake looked at him with annoyed eyes, but carried on with his story, hoping that Andy wasn't going to interrupt again because he knew that he would lose his temper.

"The police thought it was me who had left the little girl defenceless. They thought it was me who had left her neck mangled and bloody. I knew they were going to arrest me, but they could have run tests and found out that I was a vampire. It would have meant a vampire – human war for everyone and I couldn't do that. If a war started, the vampires win, so I ended the lives of everyone at the scene. It was the only way to make everyone else stay safe. I put the girl out of her misery and buried everyone there. I ran to the blood bank and have been doing so every since" Jake explained. Andy felt horrible for him at that point. Jake had had to finish what his tutor had started and he had only just been turned. Andy didn't know why, but he felt that Jake wouldn't do that to hi. Not after everything that had happened when Jake had just been turned.

"Was everything okay after that?" Andy asked. He knew that it was since Jake wouldn't be teaching Andy. He would be as good as dead if anything happened after that.

"No one ever found the bodies" Jake admitted, guilty at the fact that he had covered up so many murders. "My tutor was an original and I didn't even know" He shouted, punching one of the trees by him. Andy didn't want to get Jake any angrier than he already was, so he didn't question what an original was then. He simply left it hanging as Jake collected himself and became the arrogant vampire that he was before he indulged all of that information with Andy.

"Is this all we have to cover for tonight?" Andy asked. He was eager to get out and let Jake cool down some more. He knew that Jake needed to take his anger out on something and Andy believed that it was going to involve a bar.

"Meet me here, same time" Jake said before stalking off into the distance. Andy sighed in relief before running back to the house, eager to patch things up with Carolyn. He wanted to try and get on with life as a vampire even if it meant that he would have to put Carolyn's life in danger. If he didn't then Carolyn was going to be alone again.

He pulled the handle of the door down and stepped inside to be greeted by Carolyn standing in the hallway again. She was tapping a foot on the ground in a very angry away and it would have been comical if it wasn't under these circumstances.

"Where've you been now?" She ordered. Andy couldn't explain anything to her, so he simply walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her, breathing in her scent.

"Can we please stop fighting?" Andy asked. He knew that she wouldn't to get to the bottom of everything, but she never knew how to confront him about it. She always simply let everything happen right under her nose and she pretended she wasn't bothered.

"Things better change" She sighed as she hugged him back, missing the feel of his body pressed against hers.

"They will, I promise" Andy whispered as he kissed her cheek. His lips lingered their longer, wanting to kiss her properly, but knowing that he couldn't.

"You need to stop kissing me as well."

End Flashback

"Did you really want to kiss me then?" Carolyn asked as Andy continued to play with her. Was she honestly asking him that question? Did she not know how much Andy loved her?

"I was desperate to kiss you and tell you how much I loved you" Andy whispered, pressing his lips back to hers. She grinned into his lips, but managed to pull away from him and sigh. He wasn't angry at her for ending their kiss, but he wished she hadn't done it. He needed every part of her right now, but she had no intention of giving it to him and it killed him inside.

"If we want to get the past then we need to stop all of this kissing, so we can actually get some work done" Carolyn explained when she saw the hurt expression on his face. He sighed, but nodded, knowing that she was right. She wouldn't rest until she knew about everything.

Again, I hope you enjoy and please leave a review for me.
