A Promise

Sorry it's a little late just started back at school! So getting into the swing anyway hope you enjoy this! ;)

"Barnabas" I asked concerned "What have you done?"

My heart was pounding in my chest I thought it was about to tear it open, I felt sick to my stomach and couldn't breathe, my body was lifeless apart from my mind all I kept thinking about was, What if I said something wrong, would he kill me? Could he actually kill me? What am I going to do?

"Julia?" Barnabas looked confused, "What's wrong?" He moved forward leaning in.

"You" I shouted and pushed him back, "Now stop playing games and tell me what you have done!" I could feel the tears filling up in my eyes.

"Okay", He leaned in a took hold of my hands, "I...I killed...I

"Oh for fuck sake Barnabas will you spit it out already", I pulled my hands out of his.

"I killed some hippies in the forest", he held his hand down (in shame I hope)

"Are you fucking insane!" I started pacing up and down, "Do you have any idea how-" but suddenly I was interrupted by his lips crashing down onto mine I pushed him back as hard as I could.

"Madam you are extremely sexy when angry" he smile but I however was not amused

I pointed, "don't even try it, you" I started pacing again, "What if the police make the connection, what then Barnabas?"

"Madam I'm so-" he pleaded.

"You're what, you're sorry?" I interrupted "Here take of your shirt, we need to put in the washing machine" he did as he was told, he slowly began un-doing the buttons even though I was mad at him I couldn't help but admire his slender figure, his pale chest but of course he caught me staring at him.

"Like what you see?" he said cockily before handing me the shirt.

"No" I said confidently back before walking away down the hallway into the kitchen and setting the shirt off to wash, I turned round to find him in the doorway, shirtless, "One thing Barnabas, why did you do it" I could feel the tears filling up in my eyes again.

"I-I-I was hungry madam, hungry for some blood, hungry for human blood and those hippies no one will even notice they have gone!" He pleaded with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"They are still people Barnabas, innocent people that you have now killed and their bodies are rotting in the forest soon to be discovered by police, and-"My voice trailed off.

"And What Julia?" he sounded angry

"Nothing", Shit, I thought.

"Yes there is, tell me Julia" he sounded both angry and irritated as he was walking toward me, I was walking back until I felt my back hit the wall.

"And I worry that if I say the wrong this or do the wrong thing, you will kill me" my voice weak.

"Julia" he place his hand on my cheek, "I couldn't and wouldn't do that to you ever, I love you Julia" his voice kind, gentle my knee's felt weak and the tear began to fill in my eye again.

"I love you too Barnabas, but I am not willing to cover up for you everything you go on a killing spree" I cried tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Then I'll stop, just for you, I won't drink human blood, I'll drink animal blood instead" he said sounding hopeful.

"Would you really do that for me?" I cried.

"I would go to the ends of the earth for you Julia!" and with that he kissed me softly on the lips and I just stayed in his arms for a while.
