1 PART 6: Making up
Connor ran up the stairs and along all the corridors. His vampire speed and senses helped him find Chloe faster than any other person would have be able to. When he got to her door, he just stood there for a few minutes, not really knowing what to do. If he went in there, what would her reaction be? Would she throw something at him and tell him to leave? Or would she just stay there and ignore him completely?
Connor decided to play it safe and knock on the door before entering. "Chloe?" He said softly, opening the door. "Can I talk to you for a minute?
"I don't care," she said in a life-less voice. "You vampires just seem to do whatever you want anyway. Why should you need my permission?" Chloe was sitting on the window seat staring out at the world beyond. When she turned to look at Connor, he almost wished that she would yell at him, because the torment in her eyes was too much for him to handle. "What do you want?"
"I just want to talk to you for a while. About things that happened before." Connor said walking into the room and sitting on the bed.
Chloe looked at where he was sitting on the bed and her mind was suddenly filled with images of their one and only night together. The passion that they had shared was inconceivable and was something that she would never forget. "I know what you're going to say," she said softly. "Sienna probably told you all the little details on my life, and now you feel sorry for me. Well, guess what? I don't want your pity. So if that's what you wanted to say then you can just leave now."
"Can you let me tell you what I was going to say? You have not idea what I'm thinking right now, so just shut up for a moment. Okay?" When she nodded he continued. Connor found that he couldn't sit down anymore do he got up and paced around the room. "Do you have any idea how long I looked for you? When you were gone that morning, I almost fell apart, and then I really did when no one could find you. It was like you disappeared off the face of the earth. It felt like someone had ripped out my heart and put it though a blender or something. And what I did next I'm not proud of, but you need to hear it anyway. You need to know all about me, because as you have pointed out, I know about you. I went on a killing spree."
"I don't want to hear this." Chloe said getting up and walking to the door.
"Well you're going to." Connor said cutting her off and taking her back to her seat and resumed his pacing. "For weeks I just went around killing anything that got in my way. Human, vampire, witch, it didn't matter o me, I just wanted them dead. Finally Christian decided to do something about it. It took four vampire and two powerful witches to knock me out. I don't really remember that much, but I kind of went into re-hab, and the only thing that kept me going was knowing that I would find you." He walked over and sat next to her and took her hands in his. "You have to know that what I said that day wasn't true. You are my soulmate and there is nothing you can do to change that. Not even going and dating a witch that I happen to despise." Connor kissed her of the forehead, opening up the soulmate link. He let her see him. Everything. The good, the bad, everything. And she didn't pull away from him. Chloe sat there and took in all the information that Connor was giving her.
She saw how upset he was when she left and what he did after that. But more of all she saw how much he really loved her. And because he let her see him, Chloe opened up her mind so he could see and fell her feelings. I'm sorry, he whispered when he saw the pain that he had caused her. I'm more sorry than you could ever know.
I'm sorry too. Chloe said back to him. I shouldn't have doubted you. You showed me everything that was you that night, and the next day I just ran out on you. Mostly because I was afraid. You were a vampire and I was just human, I guess I figured that you wouldn't want me in the light of day. But if I didn't have those doubts then I would have come in and kicked your ass.
Connor laughed inside her mind. From what Sienna's told me that would have been the case. But I'm glad you've finally come to your senses. Now the fun can begin. He moved his lips down to her throat and then to her mouth where he kissed her deeply.
Chloe sighed into her mouth. Ahh, heaven.
He lowered her back on the bed and did what he had wanted to do for the last eighteen months.

"What do you think they're doing up there?" Sienna asked a bit hesitantly. She was worried about Connor, not Chloe, because she knew that Chloe could handle herself. Even more so now after joining Daybreak. So she wouldn't be surprised if Connor came back down with a black eye.
"If I know my brother, probably not something that could be said in a polite company." Christian said chuckling as he flipped though the channels on the television.
Sienna spun around and looked at him. "Do you really think that's what they could be doing? I don't know, I just can't believe that she would just jump into bed with him after all this time."
"Who jumped into bed with who?" Jasper said walking into the room.
Sienna jumped about three feet into the air. "My god!" She said placing her hand over her heart, which was beat erratically. "Do you have to sneak up on people like that? It's really creepy."
"Would you expect anything less from my father?" Christian said not moving, he had know that his father was coming and therefore was not startled by it one bit. "But she talking about Chloe and Connor dad," he explained. "I think that they're upstairs getting… re-acquainted and Sienna thinks they're trying to kill each other."
Jasper chuckled. "I have to agree with my son on this one. Connor has been known to do things like this in the past."
"But she's his soulmate!" Sienna protested.
"All the more reason for him to do it." Jasper said putting his arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry about it Sienna. My son has everything under control."
"That's the problem." Sienna said wryly.
