Deacon wandered the busy, crowded streets, thinking about what he had done. On top of scaring Tina, he had basically killed himself if any of the other vampires found out. He'd be dead and that was all there was to it. A vampire and a human could never be together, it was wrong for all the obvious reasons. But something in the back of his mind told him there were less obvious reasons; reasons for it to be right.
As he walked, his shoulder smacked against a young woman and he glanced up. She looked nothing like Tina, yet she reminded him of her. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a tight pony tail and her eyes were huge and brown. She was taller than Tina, thinner too and her facial structure was more precise and tiny. Yet something about her drew Deacon's eyes to her face.
She was walking hand in hand with a young man, smiling gently at her boyfriend.
"Sorry," Deacon mumbled, then turned to walk away.
"Frost," the woman said quietly.
Deacon turned back and frowned. "How do you know me?"
Her smile grew wider and he could see the elongated canines in her mouth. "All the vampires know you. Your stupid plot to take over the world. Humans are not cattle."
He sighed. "I've begun to believe that."
The young man cleared his throat. "I think we're proof that vampires and humans can live together in peace. Look at us, we've been together for six year."
Deacon's eyes widened and he stared at the couple. "You're human?"
The young man nodded. "Yes, I'm human. And Jen's a vampire, so you would think it would be wrong."
Deacon's eyes shifted to the vampire. "It doesn't feel wrong?"
She smiled again. "How can love feel wrong?"
"You love a human?"
She nodded. "With all my heart. It is possible to love a human Frost, don't you know that?"
He sighed and glanced away. "I think I do." When he looked back both the human and the vampire were staring at him curiously. "Thank you," he murmured, then turned back toward his apartment.
He would make Tina believe it was right for them to be together. He would make the other vampires believe and if they wouldn't, he would kill them all himself.
