Authors Note: Although I have rated this a T, there hasn't been much of a T theme, thats because it's all about to kick in in the next few chapters, nothing too bad though, I rated it a T for valid reasons, Enjoy :-) xo
Vlad wasn't sure how long had passed.
He was frozen to the spot. He couldn't move, which, in this case was a good thing on Jasper's behalf.
He stumbled and fell on the floor, sobs racked his body like an angry werewolf on a full moon.
"Erin?!"
He used his voice wisely, knowing Erin wouldn't like his tone.
"Erin, come here!"
Erin swayed into the room.
To Vlad's annoyance, she was attached to the arms of Jasper.
"Jasper, if you value your unlife, get off her, now!"
Jasper laughed.
"I'm going, Erin, see you around midnight at the archway?"
He blew her a kiss and whipped out of the room.
"What?!"
Erin shuffled uncomfortably on the spot.
"We're just meeting up for a catch up, Vlad, I have missed him, no matter how hard that is for you to understand, he was my One Tr-"
Vlad snarled.
"Yeah, so you said."
"Vlad, please..-"
"Goodbye Erin, I trust you have business to attend to?"
"You know what? Vlad, I love you, I love Jasper, I love you."
Vlad gazed at her.
"But that's not enough, is it?! I love you with all my undead heart..."
Erin pushed his hand away from her shoulder.
Vlad stepped back, confused and affronted by her reaction.
Rejection was not something he was used to, being The Chosen One and all...
"Erin? What's happened to you? Where's my kind, considerate, loving Erin gone?" Vlad's words hung in the air like a bad odour.
"I'm not the person you should be asking, Vlad.-" Vlad looked at her confused.
"-You should be asking that question, to yourself, no one else. You made me this way!"
She looked at him, pure hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Erin, please don't leave me...-"
Erin laughed unkindly.
"Oh, Erin, please don't leave me...blah, blah, blah, Vlad, now Jasper is back in my life, maybe I should leave, maybe I should leave with Jasper. After all, he was my One Tr-"
Vlad's eyes flashed red and he dropped his fangs.
Erin laughed again.
"Oh, did you not know? I can do that now!"
She bared her fangs and her own eyes flashed red.
Vlad stepped back, scared and confused.
"Erin, why didn't you tell me you slayed a vampire?! I mean, did you forget to mention it? The amount of times you've told me that you hadn't been a true slayer, that you only have 'slayer blood'... why did you lie to me?!"
"Because, okay? Because I didn't want to tell you. Because I did it to avenge my One Tr... Jasper, because Malikai meant nothing to me."
Vlad wasn't listening anymore.
"You slayed one of my own to avenge one of my own?! He raged in disbelief.
"And how was that going to help?!"
Tears welled up inside Erin's eyes as she thought of an excuse. Vlad saw straight through her.
"Before the excuse, just go, Erin."
"I have fifteen minutes, then I'm going to see Jasper..."
"Talk about him again, I dare you!"
"Vlad, stop being such a baby! You can throw your rattle down anytime you want, just go do it somewhere where I don't have to listen to your patheticness!" Erin stomped out of the room.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Vlad screamed after her.
"To find my Jasper, now bat off and leave me alone!"
Vlad physically heaved with rage and hurt.
Fine, he thought. If that's how she wants it.
Good bye Miss Noble and your One True Love.
Vlad let his fangs drop, his eyes blackened and he shot out of the room. He had a plan.
Erin waited for Jasper under the archway.
She waited for ages.
Jasper was late.
"Erin, hey!"
Erin spun around and leapt into Jasper's arms, kissing him fully on the mouth.
"Jasp! I've missed you so much! I thought I'd never see you again! How did you escape?!"
Her words all bubbled into one.
"Erin, baby, I'm back, I'm here."
"I have missed you, so much! I can't believe it's you. I-" She kissed him again, this time with hunger, with want, with need.
"So, do you have anywhere we can, you know, I want you baby, like I wanted you all those years ago, I love you so much."
Erin didn't say anything. She took his hand and flew up to her room.
Once they were inside, they couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Erin knew what she was doing was wrong, yet she couldn't stop herself.
After all, Jasper was the one she gave herself too...
"Erin, I love you so much, I always have and I always will."
He ripped at her shirt, the buttons flew off in every direction possible, but neither of them noticed.
Neither of them cared about anything other than each other.
They kissed, and they kissed, and they kissed.
They positioned themselves in the coffin and let go, drinking in each other's vampiric states.
Erin loved how he was making her feel, she gasped as he hit a sensitive spot.
She could get used to this...
Outside on the corridor, sobs echoed the walls.
Vladimir Dracula was outside Erin Noble's room, and he heard everything.
He heard how happy they were together, he heard how she laughed when he did, he heard what his girlfriend was like in a relationship, the trouble was, it wasn't his relationship.
It was Erin and Jasper's...
