Chapter 37
Brian took Angelique into town to try to enjoy themselves, but Brian could not really do that. Angelique saw the look on his face, and it was not good. She hooked her arm into his, hoping to make him feel better.
"Angel, what if the injections don't work. What do I do then? I can't keep going like this. I just don't know. There is something that you should know." Brian was telling her.
"What is it that you want to tell me? I will always be there for you. I will help and support anything that you do." Angelique told him.
"Ever since I found out what I am, I've tried to kill myself, but this morning the creature wouldn't let me. Do you know how scary that is? I'm afraid that nothing will work after a while. I'm just scared." He told her while fighting back the tears that were forming in his eyes.
She wrapped her arms around him, and told him to let it all out, and that soon everything will be fine. She reached up to his face with both hands, and kissed him. She knew that he needed that, and soon she was going to do more with him when the time was right. She was going to have to talk to her master again to find out when the curse will be lifted from him. She felt herself being kissed back with a passion that she had never felt before, not even with Barnabas. She told him that they should continue walking before they put a show on in front of everyone. Brian told her that he didn't care about what the passing people thought of what they were doing. She told him that she did, and that he should respect her wishes. He told her that he would, and soon he would have her even more once the curse was lifted. She reminded him that when the time was right, the time will be right, and give herself to him. With that, they continued walking around Collinsport.
Alondra and Will had gone down to the docks to see the ships come and go. Will was happy to see the boats and told his mother that. She had bought a loaf of bread to feed some of the birds that were there. Will threw the bread on the ground and in the water for the seagulls to get. When they were done, Alondra and Will walked a little more, when she spotted something that she thought that she would have never thought to see.
She had seen Brian with a blonde woman that she did not know, but had seen her wrap her arms around him, then bring her hands up to his face and then kiss him. She then had seen him returning that kiss back to her with passion. She thought that he was still in love with her, and that he was going to be with her and their son. Will looked up at her, and asked if she was alright. She told him that she was, and that they should go somewhere else. She turned the two of them around, and left the area.
Brian and Angelique went into the Blue Whale for a couple of drinks. They got a table, and Brian asked Angelique what she wanted. She told him that she would like a glass of white wine. He told her that he would be right back. He came back with their drinks, and sat down. He had got himself a rum and cola, along with Angelique's wine. A drunken man came over to their table, and asked Angelique if she would go out with him.
"I certainly will not. I'm here with my boyfriend, and I don't think that you should be asking me that while he's right here! And even if he wasn't, I would not still go out with you! You are a drunk! I would greatly appreciate it very much if you leave me alone right now!" She told him very angrily.
"I don' care if e's or not. You're going on a date wit' me now, and I won' take no for a answer." He told her quite drunkenly.
"I believe the young lady told you to leave. I would take that advice right now. Because you don't know what can happen. You don't want to get me angry! You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!" Brian told the drunk low and threatening.
The drunk just ignored him and continued to bother Angelique. Brian told him again to leave, but the drunk refused to do so. Brian then got up from his seat and told him again to leave. The drunk turned around and swung his fist at him. Brian was able to dunk that one, and swung his own fist at him, and hit the drunk in the face.
The drunk managed to land a punch on Brian, in which he fell to the floor. Brian had got up off the floor, and jumps up at the drunk, and landed some punches on him till the drunk was on the floor. Brian then started to make a low growl from the back of his throat, and then started to punch the drunk some more. The drunk was trying to tell him to stop, but Brian could not hear him. The smell of blood coming from the drunk was getting him into a frenzy. The creature wanted the blood coming from the drunk, but could not change. It was making Brian go crazy for the want of blood. Finally the fight broke up with the arrival of the sheriff and a few deputies.
The sheriff asked what happened to get the fight started in the first place. The bartender told the sheriff that the drunk had started the whole thing and would not stop bothering them. He also told her that Brian was only defending the two of them. The sheriff took statements from everyone that saw the whole thing happen. She then got the statement from both Brian and Angelique and left.
Angelique got Brian out of the Blue Whale with an angry/concern look on her face. She turned to look at him and said to him "What were you thinking of by attacking him like that! You were about ready to kill him! I would have taken care of him without hurting him like that! Now tell me, what came over you like that."
"Angel, I really don't know. One minute I had landed a punch on him. He lands one on me. The thing is that I have not felt that type of strength and fury before. As he is on the ground trying to protect himself, I wanted to blood that was coming out of him. I could not hear him telling me to stop. I just wanted him dead. I would never have done that before." He told her while holding himself.
"I know that, but you have to be careful in a situation like that. The creature wanted the blood, but could not get at it because it was not a full moon. Let me take you back to my room, and clean up that cut above your eye. I'm surprised the sheriff didn't ask if you wanted a doctor or not. Then again, this is Collinsport." She told him.
"I know. At least in New York, the medic would have been there to do that. Say, while we're up there…" He started to say.
"No, not yet. How many times do I have to keep telling you that. I'm not ready yet for that part in our relationship." She told him while rolling her eyes in exasperation.
"Alright Angel. You win this time. But one day, you will come around to my charms, and let us be together for evening time. I can't wait for that to happen. The two of us at night, in our bed. Damn! Great, now I'm starting to sound like dad. Great, now I can't get the image of the two of them at it." He told her.
She smiled at his embarrassment of his parents being alone like that. But then again, if it wasn't for her, they would never have been together. She took him up to her room, and cleaned the cut out, and he fell asleep in the chair. She put a blanket on him, and let him sleep. She decided that she needed to talk to her master, and find out why he wanted to cure Brian.
