CHAPTER 22
Jakob and Gabriel were sent to their rooms, and Jonathan ordered Sonia to her room.
"Sit down," he told me, and I obeyed. He sat down across from me at the table and looked at me.
"I still haven't forgiven you for that little incident ten years ago, you know," he said.
I nodded slowly, "Yes, I know."
"You threatened to kill Sonia, then you fall in love with her. That, in my opinion, is confusing," he stated.
"Most relationships don't start in the most friendly manner," I said slowly.
Jonathan nodded, "Yes, so I've heard and seen for myself. She claims you two are in love. Is this true?"
"Yes," I said quickly, "I'm the Dhampire. If I didn't love her, I would have killed her already, would I have not? And why would I have slept with her unless I loved her?"
"Good point, although you could have threatened to kill her, then she offered herself to you to save herself, but I doubt Sonia would ever do that."
"If that were the case, I would have killed her anyway," I said slyly, "but I've stopped killing. You should have noticed that there have been no known Dhampire attacks since just before Sonia's birthday."
"I have noticed that," he said, then changed the subject, "Do you want her to go fight Dracula?"
I looked up at him, and stayed silent for about a minute before shaking my head, "No... I don't. But I have no choice. She's destined to go after him, and not even I can stop her. She wants to go after him."
"So I see."
We stayed silent before he spoke up once more, "I will allow you to train her, and love her, either here or where you took her. The decision is hers where she wants to train. You do realize, however, that if she is killed, you are to take the blame."
"I understand."
Jonathan nodded, then stood, "Sonia, you can come here now," he called out, and Sonia came out, standing next to me. Jonathan explained everything to her, and her face seemed to light up.
"I want to train where Alucard took me," she said quickly, and Jonathan nodded.
"Very well. You may leave whenever you like."

That night, we left. Sonia shooed me on ahead of her, and stopped to say goodbye to Jonathan. She hurried up to me quickly, and I grinned, picking her up off of her feet and lightly spinning her around. She laughed and put her arms around my neck, kissing me, "So what happens now?"
I carried her to Mother's cabin, and on the way, I shrugged, "I don't know... we stay together and live our lives as normal, I guess..."
She smiled, and kissed me again, "We can do that..."
I took Sonia inside and sat her down on the bed, kissing her softly, "I love you, Sonia..."
"I love you too..."
