Augusta, Me – Friday Night
After making sure that the final preparations were ready for tomorrow, including making sure that Johnny Cash was settled in at the Collinsport Inn, Brian had picked up Susie after she had cleaned up and changed for their date. Brian then drove the two of them up to Augusta, ME to have a good time.
They had dinner at a local place that some of the people told about for great seafood. They went there and had a great meal of Lobster Rolls, Crab Cakes, and Fries and Soda's to go with everything. They then caught the next showing of 'True Grit' and 'Change of Habit'. While they enjoyed the movies, they were also kind of bored by them as well. When they left the theatre, they headed to the bar across the street to get to know more about each other.
"So your family have been in Collinsport for a long time then." Brian said while taking a drink of his Budweiser.
"Most of them anyway. Not sure how long, but from what I was told, it has been a long time. I think since the mid 1800's." Susie told him while taking a sip of her Screwdriver.
"That long. And I thought my father's side of the family had been in Queens for a long time." Brian told Susie with the necessary lie about his family.
"What was it like to grow up in New York?" She asked him.
"It's big, noisy, and full of people. I miss it, but at the same time, I don't because of that. I'll visit every so often just to get the feel for the city again." Brian said while smiling at her.
She smiled back at him, and then heard a slow song being played by the local band on stage. She then got up and grabbed his hand for a dance. They danced close to each other, and it felt right for both of them. Susie gave Brian a kiss on the cheek and telling him that she felt safe in his arms now. Brian told her the same thing and started to kiss her on her neck. Brian then felt the need for Blood as he was kissing her on her neck! His eyes started to turn Blood Red and his fangs started to reveal themselves!
He shook himself out of what he was going to do before it was too late! Susie then spoke to him.
"Hey, why did you stop? I was enjoying that." She said to him with a hurt look on her face.
"Guess I am tired, and didn't realize it. Say, let's get a couple of rooms here in town and leave in the morning. How does that sound to you?" He wanted to know.
"Are you sure about that? After all, Collinsport isn't that far from here." She reminded him.
"Yeah. We're both going to need a full night's sleep with what's happening tomorrow, and then the dance tomorrow night." He said while smiling at her.
"Alright then. You're sure two rooms, and not one?" She asked him with a smile on her face.
"I'm sure. And besides, this is our first date now. I have my reputation to keep you know." He said before laughing.
She joined in the laughter as well. Brian had found a hotel with two empty rooms, and they went up to them. Brian gave Susie a kiss before heading to his room. He watched her go into her room before heading into his. Once the door was closed, that's when he get angry with himself!
"IDIOT! YOU ALMOST DID THAT NOW! HOW COULD I BEEN SO STUPID TO LET MY OTHER HALF GET THE BETTER NOW?! I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL FOR NOW ON BEFORE I ACCIDENTALLY BITE HER! I'M GOING TO EITHER HAVE TO TELL HER THE TRUTH ABOUT MYSELF OR LEAVE COLLINSPORT ONCE AND FOR ALL! I CAN'T TAKE THE CHANCE OF HARMING HER, OR ANYONE ELSE THAT I MAY COME ACROSS THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE JILL DID SO LONG AGO! I HAVE TO CALM DOWN AND STILL TAKE MY INHALER AND DO MY BEST NOT TO TAKE THE BLOOD FROM ANY PERSON!" Brian told himself more times than he could remember.
He finally got himself calmed down and went to the minibar and found a small bottle of Vodka and drank straight out of the bottle! He then got undressed and hopefully have a decent night's sleep now.
Susie's Room – Middle of the Night
Susie woken up from the same nightmare that she has had since that night back in Ancient Egypt. She was cursed to live forever, but not like Imhotep was as a living Mummy, but that as an Immortal! She could not die no matter what she tried! If she had not followed Imhotep as one of his servants, she would not be the way she is now!
She had fallen in love before and had children, but for some reason, Brian was the one that would finally bring happiness to her life! They would make the perfect couple, but she had to wait for him to make the right choices and hopefully they would be together! She felt they belonged together for some reason. She wondered if there was more to Brian than what he was telling her. She was happy that he came into her life, and that he was happy that she came into his.
There was the problem that she would have to leave him one day once he becomes too old while she stayed young looking. If he only knew how old she really was, he would not believe it! She would have to change her name and hair color everyone few years when she did this along with a fake Birth Certificate and other papers that she needed. She was going to do her best to make a life for the two of them. He didn't, she would have to live with that then and leave Collinsport.
She then went to the minibar, and found a bottle of Gin, and remembered when Eli Whitney first patent his machine! She raised the bottle to him, and saluted the man for this now. She then went to bed and tried to get some sleep because tomorrow was going to be something that everyone in Collinsport will not forget!
