"Nicole...," Legato sighed.
"Just tell me, Legato. It would be better than me finding out later..when we are in too deep," I said.
"I...I don't want to say this to you."
Legato set me to the side and stood up. Running his right hand through his hair, I could tell he was about to break down. His whole body had stiffened up. Like it would make him crumble to tell me. "It's me...Nicole, Legato. Come on, how bad can it be?"
Legato turned his hawk eyes to me. The caring and loving eyes I had always looked into for answers. The same eyes I had fallen in love with. He fiddled with his fingers, snapping them with an awful sound.
"Nicole..I...I..."
"Legato," I said sternly.
"I'm not at all what I seem....you know that, right?" He inquired while rubbing the back of his head vigorously.
"Yeah. You can be a true killer at times..but also very sexy," I replied with a smirk.
Legato gave out a stiffled laugh. His face became more pale. "I....oh god damnit! I've...I haven't been truthful to you!"
"How?"
Legato sat down beside me. He licked his lips nervously. "I am Legato...that's the truth. But....I.."
"Just spit it out, damnit!" I growled.
"I've been lying to you about me and the rest of the vampires. We are researching on the human emotion called love. I used you to know of this. I- "
I didn't let him finish. I slapped him across the face with as much power as I could put into the hit. He turned back around and I hit him again, tears sliding down my cheeks. "How could you DO this to me!?" I screamed.
"Nicole-"
I slapped him again.
"I'm sorry!!!!"
I hit him again. Blood was sliding down the corner of his mouth. He grabbed my wrists and I struggled. "Just go away! You used me!"
"I didn't want to! I fell in love with you at first sight!"
I stopped struggling, but not because he said that to me. I just knew it was useless to struggle against a powerful vampire. Blood slid down his chin and dropped to my bed sheet. "But....you could have told me," I murmered.
"I...I didn't know how. It was all Rai's idea. I was young...I still am. But, I want to make it up to you...I want you to forgive me. To love me as you would without knowing this truth," he whispered.
He let go of my wrists and touched my cheeks. His eyes searching mine, but I never met his gaze. I was too hurt to talk or even love him. I let the tears of hurt and sorrow go. My shoulders quivered and I pulled away from him. "Leave."
"But Nicole I-"
"Just leave," I cut in, turning away from him.
Legato reached for my hand but I pulled further away. He got up from the bed and wiped the blood from his face. "Even if you don't forgive me...I know in your heart...you love me still. The truth always hurts people you love, Nicole. I'm sorry...that my truth hurt you for the worst."
He vanished in a puff of white smoke. I turned to the drawer and pulled out a tissue, blowing my nose and wiping my tears away. A finger touched my cheek and took a stray tear. "You shouldn't cry," Chris's voice sighed.
I turned around. "Get away! I want nothing to do with vampires anymore!" I snapped.
Chris backed away with surprise in his face, but it was quickly replaced by a warm smile. "Nicole, you are blinded by hurt and betrayel. I want to help you...allow me that."
"Chris..."
He leaned over and his warm lips met mine.
I pushed him away. "You bastard! What do you think you're doing?" I inquired, covering my mouth.
Chris raised an eyebrow at me. "Nicole...it's not that I am trying to take advantage over a hurt young woman. Yet...I am trying to help you. Please, allow me to help you," he whispered.
I turned around to reach for my brush, maybe to hit him hard for what he had done. His body came over mine and he turned me over to face him. His crimson red eyes staring into mine as he held my arms tight. "Nicole...you are truly an amazing human."
His body was light, but had some weight to it. He covered me and I could feel myself start to hyperventilate. I was so scared and angry. "...Chris...get off," I breathed.
"Nicole...let me help you."
What was so important about helping me? With what, is what I'd like to know!
"Help me with what?"
Chris smiled that warm smile of his. "Everything."
He leaned down and I turned my head so his lips kissed my cheek. He laughed against my skin, making my skin tingle. "Nicole...it is not wise to evade medicine," he whispered against my cheek.
I struggled, forgetting he was a vampire with vampire powers which were way more powerful than my meesly old human strength. I stopped and let him kiss me, I couldn't stop him.
"Get away from her," a voice growled.
Chris quickly got up and revealed Legato. He held a dark scythe. His eyes were a really dark yellow. Chris was shivering uncontrollably. "But I was just trying to help her!" He protested.
Legato grabbed him by the neck and threw him out the window, which opened only seconds before Chris hit it. Legato took on look at me then vanished out the window. I quickly got up and looked out the window. Chris was struggling to get away but Legato would always trip him or hit him with the scythe. Blood marked the snow from the wounds in Chris's back. "Legato! I was just trying to help her! Listen to me!" Chris yelled.
"No excuses," Legato snarled.
His silky voice was gone and was replaced by this ferocious voice that made you want to grind your bones. Chris tripped and Legato swung his scythe upwards, then brought it down. He ripped Chris's backbone out of his body and sent it into the woods. Chris laid motionless on the snow ground, but soon vaporized slowly into a crimson mist. Legato turned towards me. "You may never forgive me...but I will protect you from now on. You may not love me...but I will always love you. Nothing can change me...except you. Nicole...," he said and his eyes returned to normal.
The scythe retracted up into his wrist and wings appeared on his back. Black, feathery wings. I covered my mouth absent mindedly and backed away from the window. Legato held his hand out and closed it slowly, probably remembering what had happened earlier today. "Please...Nicole."
He closed his eyes and a tear slid down his cheek. His face was agonizing to look at because it was so sad looking. He vanished and a single feather floated to the snowy ground. But I knew, I couldn't lose him. But I didn't know what stopped me from saying what I felt about him. I shook my head and closed the window, slid under my blankets and spotted the blood from Legato's mouth. I felt the tears welt up in my eyes, but I blinked them back. Telling them they could come another day, just not today or tonight.
-- To Be Continued -- Ooh, how would you like it if someone used you for research?! ::cracks knuckles:: oi...well, hope you liked this chapter. Poor funny Chris was exterminated. Ah well, hope you like this story so far. I put a lot of work into it! ::sniffle sniffle::. Oh, and please read X Blood No Living, I want ppl to like that ^^; because it's my own creation.
