Chapter 4
You are what you are
"So tell me how you have been spending your eternal existence?" I asked.
"I would tell you mine, but I've been stored in box for the last millennia" I joked.
"The one your rage-ah-holic brother Klaus, carted you around in" Said Sage joined in.
"Uh yes, that the one" Shaking my head disapprovingly.
We looked at each other. Then burst out in laughter.
She snuggled closer to my side as we walked and I had my arm relaxed around her shoulder.
"My goodness how long have we been walking around for? I can see the sun drifting out of sight" I suddenly said looking at the sky as the light faded and was less bright.
"This day shouldn't end yet, NO, our time together should be endless" Sage said.
"I agree. Too much time has been stolen from us. But we have here and now" I assured her.
"Hmmm" she muttered.
"What is it Sage?" I said.
"I've got an idea" Sage smiled with glow.
She took my hand tightly and we drifted in a blur with speed.
We were soon outside a building with the front sign saying in slim italic letters 'MYSTIC GRILL' and another sign beside in bright colour saying pool.
I smelled from the outside, from what I could tell food and drink. Definitely a place to dine.
"You're hungry or thirsty" I chuckled. I pulled her arm closer to me so she swung back into my hug. So I could hold her longer and have my arms rested on her waist.
"You don't need to humour me. I enjoy us just talking" I whispered leaning my lips beside her ear while holding her.
I pulled my head back.
"But thank you for understanding me" I said as I looked down into her eyes.
"Of disliking myself of what I am" I finished.
"Why do you hate being a Vampire, so much Finn?" she said softly gazing up to me.
"Because when I turned, none of my family knew what was going to happen. We didn't know we would become monsters, and being taken over by our lust for blood. It was out of our control, until we were satisfied and came back to our senses."
Sage did not speak but just listened so I continued.
"The only thing I soon understood then was after I turned, was that I often gave in continuously to my hunger and forgot all my morals. "
Going back it is still vivid in my mind.
"I killed my own kind, people I used to be like. An ordinary human being. Beating heart. No sense of killing others. No violence."
"I was innocent just like those people, but I'm no longer innocent, as I killed and caused destruction everywhere I went..."
Sage pulled away and was looking at me very upset.
"Finn! It begins that way, but in time we gain control..." Sage protested.
"You mean when I fought to stay away from you when I was turned a Vampire" I interrupted.
Sage stopped and closed her lips. Her face of belief in her own words disappearing.
"I'm sorry Sage."
I hate it when I take their smile away.
Especially hers.
I turned my back to her.
"I'm ruining this moment together aren't I?" I scratched my head.
"No it's ok" she replied when she got her voice back and took my left hand and held it, and walked over to my side and I turned my head as she did.
"I think we can talk about this another time, you need to forget that for now and relax."
"Have a drink with me" and let go of my hand and walked over to held the door open of the 'MYSTIC GRILL' so I could join her.
I sighed and joined her as we went inside and the door slowly moved closed behind us.
Note from Writer
Yes I made a mini fight happen. I wanted to change the tension and get inside Finn's mind. I mean why does he hate what he is? Hope you liked it , review if possible.
