CHAPTER FOUR
They decided to rise and dress, straightening the best they could, before someone decided to come looking for them. Sara just finished buttoning her blouse, and was turning to exit the cover of the willow branches, when Thierry grabbed her wrist, pulling her back to him.
Finding her lips again, they kissed a short, but loving kiss.
"We can make this our spot, if you want. It's really beautiful in here. I know you come here alot." he suggested.
She got the feeling he escaped here many times before, also.
"Yeah. I think we definitely found our spot." she agreed, wrapping her arms around him. "This is another first."
Thierry pulled back to look at her, an eyebrow raised quizically, "What do you mean?"
Sara shrugged, "Well, we were each other's first. Now, we have a spot. We don't have a song, yet, or a place. You know, like other couples, how they have a song, a place, a favorite movie.." she explained,when he looked confused.
Thierry nodded, "Ahh, okay, I see." he answered, understanding what she meant, "Well, this is definitely our spot. And, anytime we hear music together, we'll pick a song for us. And, I think we picked a movie, remember?" he asked.
She shook her head.
"When you were on bed rest after, you know," he said, gesturing at her stomach, and continued, "That 'Moonlight' movie, we both actually liked it."
She thought a moment,"Yeah, I remember. But, that wasn't technically a movie. It was the series on dvd. But, it kinda describes us. A vampire in love with a human, even though I'm not a blonde, you're not a smart-ass."
Thierry gave a short laugh and kissied her gently, "Oh, by the way, didn't you have something else to show me?" he asked, his voice gentle, but his tone had a bit of edge.
She nodded, knowing why his demeanor changed suddenly.
He released his hold on her waist and grabbed her hand, pulling her out of their private place.
"Well, come on. You might as well show me."
They strolled over the grounds, walking towards the practice area. He stopped and turned to her questioning. She looked around, spotting the twenty square foot storage that stored the weaponry when it was not in use. She walked to it, pulling Thierry along with her. She slid the wide door all the way open, so he could have a clear view.
She walked in, stopping and standing in the middle of the building, facing the direction of the door, feeling the concern start to creep up in him.
Trust me, please. she sent to his mind.
He let out a breath and nodded.
Sara took her stance and closed her eyes, concentrating. She was starting to gain more control, the radiating light started glowing on demand, spreading over her, surrounding her.
She grinned, slightly, as the golden shimmer wrapped her in the cocoon-like shield. Thierry watched unnerved, still in awe by the sight of her powers being revealed. Then, he heard the building starting to rumble and saw dust falling from the ceiling. He looked back at Sara seeing her eyes narrow and focus, her face tense in concentration.
Sara..., he started to say with his mind, hearing the building creek, knowing it was coming down.
Trust me, she replied back, her mental voice tense and rugged.
It happened so quickly that all he could do was cover his head, ducking from the falling debris. The roof caved in, then the walls collapsed, the building crumbling around them.
Thierry noticed he felt no pain or anything landing on him. He looked up and saw the debris was bouncing off the shield. They were safe, nothing was penetrating it, nothing could touch them while they were in the lit forcefield. The building was on the ground, demolished. Sara dropped her shield and it snapped back into her again, making her falter and fall to her knees.
Thierry knelt beside her as the light dimmed, melding into her. He took her chin in his hand and lifted her face up. He saw that, thankfully, her eyes were only slightly pink and watery, however, her nose was bleeding again. He took his handkerchief and brought it to wipe her upper lip, as he stared at her in amazement.
She was breathing heavy, her chest heaving, "I guess, that the consequence no matter how I try." she stated.
Thierry nodded, "Yeah, I guess it is." he said, agreeing.
He pulled her to her feet, bracing her, for she was weak-kneed. She leaned into him fully, not trusting her strength just yet. He steadied her for a moment, then put his arm around her waist, helping her, as they made their way back to the mansion. They were rounding the corner of the house when the rest of the Daybreakers came rushing towards them, firing questions.
"What the hell?"
"What was that?"
"We heard a noise!"
"What's going on?"
"For crying out loud!"
Thierry held up a hand to silence the tirade of questions. He said he'd explain it all inside and continued into the house, taking Sara to the living room and laying her on the loveseat.
The Daybreakers followed them inside and took seats, waiting impatiently, as Thierry poured a glass of water from the picther on the coffee table. He handed the water to Sara and moved her, so he could sit with her and let her lean across him. Then, he looked at the group and explained what Sara had done. They stared at him, shocked, then at Sara.
Ash spoke first, "So you tore down the storage with your light thing?"
Sara looked at him and shrugged slightly, "I..yea."
Ash looked at her a moment and then around the faces that mirrored his own amazed expression, "Great. Now, we have our own personal demolition crew." he said, jokingly.
Sara gave a short laugh, grateful that he could joke about it. Everyone else laughed with him, relaxing.
Thierry spoke next, "Do you realize what this means?"
The crowd sitting with them, shrugged, some shaking their heads.
"This means that no matter what, no matter what dangers there are, we could be safe. We'll have protection from attacks, and the humans could be healed." he explained, "I don't know about vampires, though. And, I sure don't want to test that theory, just in case." he said sternly, making it a point.
"What about weres?" Lupe asked
"Or shifters?" Galen and Keller asked in unison
Thierry shook his head, "I don't know. But, like I said: no testing those theories."
Blaise then spoke, "I'm sure Sara could heal us, I mean, witches are human, just humans with powers." she stated.
Thierry nodded in agreement, "But, we have to remember that it makes Sara weak." he pointed out, "So, regardless, we still have to remain vigilant and be careful."
Everyone nodded, calling out in agreement.
"I think the more I practice, the more equipped I'll be. I think I'll be able to handle it." Sara spoke, suddenly.
Thierry shook his head again, "Sara, I don't want you pushing yourself to much still." he answered, sternly, but in a gentle tone, "I'm so proud of the progress you've made and the control you developed, but it weakens you still. The only thing that doesn't is when you shot your..'light' out and stunned Quinn." he said, thoughfully, glancing in Quinn's direction.
Quinn nodded, "Yeah, and it did sting, by the way." he said, looking at Sara with a crooked smile, "But, you know the weird part is that: when Sara ran towards me, it stopped. Like, it released me." Quinn revealed, throwing Thierry for another whirlwind.
"Sara..?" Thierry started.
"I didn't know, Thierry. I didn't pay attention, but I think I felt it. Sort of like, I lifted the the 'stunning' hold over him. I just didn't realize it, cause so much was happening, until now." Sara answered.
Thierry shook his head again, it seemed that was a normal action now. It was alot to take in one day. He didn't know if he could be shocked anymore than what he already was. He repeated his statements on being careful, and no testing theories, then dismissed everyone, so they could get ready for dinner.
When they were alone, Thierry asked Sara if she felt strong enough to stand and walk upstairs. She nodded and they walked hand in hand to their room. Thierry shut the door behind him and Sara headed for the bathroom, while Thierry stripped his shirt off, getting ready to change. Sara looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. How nobody noticed her appearence was beyond her.
They probably thought it was from when I demonstrated my powers to Thierry, she thought.
Her hair was slightly messed and there were bits of grass and leaves stuck in it. And, she knew where and how that happened, and she blushed. A tremble radiated from in between her hips, up to her abdomen as she remembered.
She closed her eyes, stifling a moan, as the tremble moved over her. She opened her eyes after a few seconds and saw Thierry's reflection in the mirror. He had been standing in the doorway watching her and she felt self-concious. She turned to face him, her cheeks reddening.
Thierry walked towards her and pulled her into his arms, "Don't be embarrassed, love. I was thinking of it, too." he admited, leaning to kiss her lips.
"Do you think they noticed?" she mumbled against his lips.
"No." he replied, kissing her again.
He reached with one arm to start a shower and pulled his lips from hers. He brought his hand back to her and unbuttoned her blouse once more, letting it slid down her arms and to the floor. He did her bra the same way and smiled as she trembled openly. He knelt and unzipped her boots, slowly. She lifted her legs so her could pull them off, followed by her socks. Still kneeling, he reached up to her waist and pulled her skirt down her hips, letting it fall also.
By then, she was so filled with wanting that her legs shook, her breath growing heavy. He gazed up at her, passion filling his own eyes, a smirk on his lips, knowing he was driving her to her boiling point. He reached for her panties and pulled them down, as slow as he could, letting the torment linger.
She had all she could take, her knees gave out and she started to fold, when Thierry suddenly caught her, bracing her, his vampire speed coming in handy. He had a smug smile on his lips as he sat her on the edge of the marble sink, her legs on either side of him, as he fixed himself between them.
She gasped at the sudden motion and at the fact that the marble was cold on her bare bottom.
Thierry only had his pants on and her hands went to the belt again. She yanked it off, throwing it to the floor and jerked the button of his jeans apart.
He let her take control, watching her fierceness as she pushed his pants and boxers down as far as her arms could reach.
Then, he grabbed her hips in his hands and pulled her towards him. She looked for the part of him that needed to be satisfied, wrapping her hand around his cock and guiding it to her opening.
He growled lowly as he entered her, pushing until he filled her all the way to the hilt. He let out an 'uh' of pleasure, and began moving in and out of her, his hands still gripping her, moving her into his rhythm. Sara had raised her legs and wrapped them around his waist, pulling him closer, making it to where he rubbed her most sensitive clit.
She leaned back on her hands, her head thrown back, moving with him. He lifted one hand to reach up and caress her breasts, running his hand up and over them, cupping one a bit roughly. The motion made her cry out, the pain was slight, but pleasurable.
He reached his climax seconds before she did, grunting out her name. She followed closely behind him, moaning softly, gasping for him. Thierry leaned over her, laying his head against her breasts. Sara leaned back against the vanity mirror for support and grabbed Thierry's head, holding it to her.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.." he whispered, his voice hoarse.
"Don't be. Neither could I." she whispered back.
He rose up, straightening, pulling her up and letting her down from the sink. He stepped out of his pants and pulled Sara into the shower with him.
One thing, that no one knew, about Thierry was his gentle side, because he rarely showed it.
Of course, most of the time he couldn't, what with being Lord of Night World, and the first of his kind.
But, with Sara, he was different. He turned her, so that she faced the back of the shower and washed her hair for her. He worked his fingers through her black strands, shampooing, rinsing, then conditioning. By the time he was done, her hair was untangled and grass-free, silky from the conditioner.
They finished their shower and crossed back into the room to dress. This time, Sara didn't bother with dressing up again. She went to her dresser drawer and pulled out a pajama set: a t-shirt with shorts. She put on socks and slippers and brushed out her hair, while Thierry dressed in jeans and a plain t-shirt. He sat to put on his shoes and turned to her.
She ran the brush through her hair once more, then held it out to him. He smiled and took it, and she turned her back to him. She let him take over, as he brushed and braided her hair for her.
When he was done, he kissed the back of her head.
"Are you tired already?" he asked, pointing out her clothing.
"No, I just already changed twice today and that was my third shower, so I just wanna dress down and be comfortable." she answered.
"We can have dinner here if you want." he suggested
"I'm fine Thierry. It's okay." she smiled at him, assuringly.
He smiled back and held out a hand. She took it and he pulled her to her feet and they descended the stairs to join the others in the dining hall.
While they ate and the vampires drank, they talked and chatted with each other. The group of Daybreakers were like a big family, joking, telling stories and laughing. Then, after they visited with their friends well into the evening hours, Sara started to grow tired from the long day they just had. They bid everyone goodnight and Thierry led Sara back upstairs to their room.
Usually they would fill the night making love before falling asleep but, that night they just collapsed in each others arms. They held each other tightly, falling asleep quickly, dreaming only of each other.
A/N: In case anyone's wondering the reference was to Moonlight, a syfy tv show that was cancelled after one season. Even though that season was extremely good. It is, of course, about vampires and the main character falls in love with a human girl. Thierry mistakes it for a movie, because it was on dvd and he never really watched it before. So, yeah. Well, if you have anymore questions, message me. Don't forget to review and comment please! Thanks!
