"Chris! Stop!" I cried out.
Chris didn't stop beating up Legato. He ignored my pleas and threw Legato to the side like a piece of trash. I stood up and sprinted towards Chris. "Chris! I said stop!" I yelled.
He turned around and caught me, his strong arms coming around me. "Nicole...I'm doing this for you!" He exclaimed as he tossed me up.
I flew through the air and soon began to fall back to earth. Chris waved his hand and I floated to a rooftop. I was a vampire too, my powers had to be useful. Legato stood up with blood dripping from his mouth. "Chris...I will kill you," he said.
Chris turned around and blinked at him. "Legato...you have hurt Nicole enough. I'm sending you to hell. Think about what you have done to her. Do you think you can always say it was because you were deathly hungry? How long will it be before you do it again? And then what happens when you kill her?" Chris inquired.
"I would never-"
"You know you can't stop the hunger, legato. You can't stop yourself, as you showed when you were going to tear her throat apart. But, I was there. I saved her from your jaws, but at the price of getting seriously injured. But vampires heal, but in hell.... they are just dust particles, legato. And, your time is over."
Chris picked up a rod and thrust it forward. Legato jolted and I felt my whole world shatter. "No!!!!" I screamed.
Legato looked at the rod which had imbedded itself in his chest. He exploded into a large dust cloud. Chris fell to his knees, coughing up blood as his features went back to normal. I leaped down and fury left me when Chris looked up at me with those eyes. They were drained of color and he held the wound. "Nicole..." he said with barely a whisper before falling to the dirt.
"I.... Legato..." I said with a choked voice.
Tears slid down my cheeks and dropped to the dusty ground of Legato's remains. I took hold of Chris's hand and vanished, shaking with sorrow.
I dressed Chris's wound and tucked him into his bed. My whole world seemed to collapse, I had nothing. Legato was gone. I couldn't believe it, but he was gone. Chris used the last of his energy to kill Legato, for me. He wanted to save me. But at the cost of...
"Mmmm.," Chris moaned.
He opened his eyes and sat up. "Nicole...I." he stopped, finding words.
I shook my head and put a hand up. "Don't say anything, you need to rest," I said.
"I'm sorry...that I killed him."
I nodded and he fell back, closing his eyes and letting out a sigh. I got up and headed for the door. It opened and a young woman stepped in. "Nicole?" She asked.
"Yes, you are?"
"Ceila, Chris's mother. What happened to him?"
I looked back towards Chris and smiled. "He killed Legato. But got hurt in the process."
"I am so disappointed in him."
"No, you shouldn't be disappointed. He saved a girl's life...you should be grateful to have a son like him," I said.
Ceila smiled. "Are you going to stay for a while?" She asked.
"No, I have some business to attend to. But tell Chris...that my door is always open."
I closed my eyes and vanished slowly as Ceila closed the door. I knew it was for the best to leave him, but I felt as if I was leaving a part of myself with him. I would never know. And I always kept the image of a single tear of red in my mind to remind me of the pain he endured.
- The End - Awww! The ending is so short! Hope you liked vampire tendencies! ^^; I worked real hard on it! Maybe you'd like a sequel? Hehehe.
