Hello thans for the reviews….but honestly you need to read Roses and Pearls…I'm honestly liking it a tinsy (just a tinsy) bit better. But I'm getting "Oh I like Vincent, make her go with Vincent" and then people who go "I like Vale…make her go with Vale….Vincent's evil" This makes me happy, these two guys are complex….if I set out one straight couple in the beginning this story would be boring. I like to hear your opinions….just back them up! Both men have bad qualities, Vale's a sex fiend, and Vincent has a very bad temper problem…but both men want her. And the one who truly loves her would do anything to keep her safe.
Vale was pulling me down the stairs with my suitcase in his hand.
"Vale," I yelled but it didn't seem like he heard me, "what in the hell are we even running from? VALE!"
"What did that fortune teller really tell you?" he asked pulling me out onto the sidewalk and opening the door to his car.
"I already told you." I lied getting in and in a flash he was in the driver's seat putting the key in the ignition.
"No you didn't." he snapped pulling into traffic and frequently checking his rearview mirror, "she gives death fortunes Kallie…..she wouldn't candy coat anything. She predicted your death. What did she say?"
"That one of you would kill me," I whispered looking down at my lap, "that I had two beaus and one of them would kill me."
I was crying now, what the fortune teller said finally sinking in. Vale or Vincent was going to kill me….
"Stop thinking that!" he yelled pounding his fist against the steering wheel.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?" I asked looking over at him and seeing his normally pale face look flushed.
"I can read it on your face Kallie," he said looking over at me, "don't you ever think I would hurt you Kallie. I would never let anyone hurt you, only over my dead body."
But what if he killed you first?
"Why would Vincent want to kill me?" I asked meekly playing with my finger nails.
"I don't think he would purposely Kallie but he's angry. Angry that I get to have my Happily Ever After with you while he doesn't Kallie, he wants you back. And I won't let that happen!"
The last line of what he said scared me, it was then that I realized I had no way to escape this. The only way for me to escape was my own death, and even then I wasn't guaranteed to stay dead in peace.
"Where are we going?" I asked we started traveling further and further away from the city.
"There's a cottage out in the country," he turned on a dirt road, "about an hour away from the city. Vincent doesn't know about dad's cottage out here."
"So we're just going to keep running away?" I asked peeking out of the corner of my eye and noticing that he was frowning, "you have forever to run Vale. I don't. I want to spend my life doing what I want, not always running."
"You won't have to run forever," he said a small smile playing on his lips, "not if we can be together forever. Then Vincent won't have anything to stop…he wants to be the one to change you. That's all he wants Kallie, but if I do he has nothing left to want from us."
"I don't want to be bitten," I tried to calmly state but my voice was wavering, "no Vale. I won't do it!"
"Kallie," he sighed getting agitated, "do you want to keep running?"
"What if none of you could have me?" I asked avoiding the question. I knew if I said no he'd get the answer he wanted.
"No," he scolded, "that's just ridiculous. One of us has to have you Kallie, I love you. I won't lose you."
"You hardly know me to love me!" I interjected. I've only know you for like 9 days!
"What do you think about love at first sight?" he asked taking his eyes off the road and I could feel his eyes looking at my face.
"It's a fairy tale saved for naïve princesses who can't keep control of their emotions." I snapped looking out the window. I'm sick of always being pushed around. I'm sick of my heart being played with.
"You might be right," he mused, "I don't think I can control my emotions."
"Quit it!" I yelled whipping my head away from the window to face him. "You and I both know that you'd say that to any girl just to get her to sleep with you! God Vale, do you think I'm that stupid!"
"No," he said tearing his face away from the road, "but you're stupid if you think that I don't have feelings for you. Kallie would you look at me!"
"Vale," it seemed like time stood still. A man with a cart was coming across the road with his sheep and we were heading right towards him, "VALE!"
"What?" he said turning his gaze back to the road in front of us, "oh SHIT!"
Even though he had super speed powers the car didn't. As he turned the wheel sharply the car hit the ditch on the side of the road and I felt lifted up into the air before the car made a CRUNCH as it landed upside down on the ground.
"Kallie! Kallie!" I heard Vale yelling my name but he seemed like he was so far away.
"Vale," I murmered feeling my one arm go numb, "are you ok?"
"Just stay still Kallie," I heard him say. Of course he was ok, he was a vampire for Christ sake. It was the fact that maybe I wouldn't be. I thought as my head throbbed and I felt the blood running down my face.
"Vale," my voice quavered as I could feel his hand graze my neck and I knew what he was planning, "no don't. Please Vale I don't want to die."
"Now you won't have to." I heard his voice whisper in my ear.
"Don't Vale," my voice was stern but I coughed up blood with the effort, "just let me go to the hospital Vale. I don't want it to happen this way…not now."
I heard a knock against my car door and I could hear a voice asking if we were alright.
"I just called the medics," I heard the voice say and I guessed he was the farmer with the cart, "what were you youngins' doing out here?"
"We own a cottage," I heard Vale answering, "please my fiancé, I think she's hurt pretty bad."
"Just hold in there mademoiselle," I heard his voice say but it sounded like a buzzing in my ears. I just wanted to sleep but Vale kept shaking my arm, "the medics will be here soon."
"Kallie," I heard Vale's voice sharp in my ears, "don't go to sleep!"
It was too late, I felt myself slipping into darkness once again.
