Okay. I made these dates as accurate as possible. The blitz (AKA when Elishia was changed) was in 1940 and this chapter is set in 1945. And Roxie was born in 1906. So, if she was seventeen when she was changed, it was in 1923. Thank you to anyone who reviewed. Also, I'm just curious, when Berto was talking about Re- something. Who did you thinking he was talking about?? Anyway, enjoy!!

Chapter 13: Sweet Sorrow

1923 / Roxie's POV

I know he's here. I thought. I've seen him so many times around here. My breathing had become harsh. My heart was thumping inside my eyes. I was sure that he could hear it from in the apartment. I clenched harder around the wooden hammer and stake in my hands. Images of my mothers cold lifeless corpse flashed into my mind. I'd heard so much tails and folklore about his kind. They only come out at night. They're eyes change colour. Inhuman strength and speed. Feeding off the blood of the living.

A Vampire.

And he's killed my mother.

The tight hallway wasn't helping my nerves one bit. Damn claustrophobia. Damn Edward Mason. Damn WORLD. I turned to face the door and, with sweat rolling down my brow, I opened it.

"Wow. Would you believe you're the first person to come and revenge your family. So brave" The velvet voice startled me. He was lanky, with musky black hair, like chalk. And Blood red eyes. Oh how fitting. I ran towards him at top speed. The stake went straight to his heart, but then it did the one thing I wasn't expecting. It snapped.

"No!" I screamed. He had me on the wall, by the throat. " Get the hell off me. You ugly soul sucker" I spat. He took away one hand to wipe his cheek of spittle. He was holding me with one hand! Impossible.

"My, you're a lively one. Aren't you? I'll enjoy drinking your blood" He lowered his teeth to my neck. And paused.

"Then again, it would be suck a shame to waist such a brave human…and pretty too"

"Up yours, leach"

"See you in three days, Roxanne"

"Wait! How do you know my-"

He bit me.

1945 / Elishia's POV

"Jasper! Jasper, Where the hell-"

"I'm here Ellie" I ran out of the Alley and into the cold streets of London. No one comes out this time of night. The war's been raging for just over five years now and showed no signs of stopping any time soon.

"Ellie! Are you okay? I saw Felix and Alec. I didn't think they would come here. I-""Shhhhhh" I whispered "Calm down, Jasper. It's all under control…sorta'"

"What do you mean 'sorta'?!" I could feel the waves of stress leaping off of him.

"I'm- I'm going to go alone…to Volterra"

"No!" He yelled. I heard a small yelp. We tuned to see a young girl gazing at us through a window. "Let's go back to the Inn"

When we arrived back, I saw that Peter and Charlotte weren't in; probably still looking for me.

Jasper spoke "Elishia, I'm not going to let you run off to the Volturi to executed"

"Well, If I don't you'll all be killed. You, me, Charlotte, Peter-"

"Please don't. We can run away. All of us"

"You know Felix would find us. Find you" I moved closer and touched his has. His dark black eyes staring into mine.

"Jasper. Will you let me use my ability on you. Just this once, before I…" He hated me using my power on him. He nodded so I let the powerful double-timbre roll into my voice. "Do you love me as much as you know I love you?"

"Yes, Elishia" He gasped "I love you". I could have cried. I slowly felt his lips catch mine in a deep passionate kiss.

Ado, Ado. Parting is such sweet sorrow
