If it's you
your love I make a home in
your sweet soft tender body
I make love to
your kisses I tangle my soul in
let thoughts slip to bliss slip away
If it's you
your sudden deep love that ties you to me
frightens you and frees you
so you will follow me everywhere I chance to go
if in my skin you find release
my smile you find my soul beauty
let me know
let me see
lose yourself
your everything
in me

Darien took Serena to see all the oceans of the world. They walked every shore together
at sunset and sunrise. They saw every mountain and stayed in the hidden, sacred villages
tucked in their midst with the kind townspeople still living life in the natural way.
Serena grew healthier and happier before his very eyes. Her smile and laugh returned.
Her cold numbness dispelled. He was glad that his travelling had sparked her spirits
back to life.
He never realized it was his love.
He knew he would eventually have to release her. Perhaps to one of these villages, to
live out her life. There could be no other way. The temptation was too great.
Such as one afternoon, as they walked through endless wheat fields in some magical country
along the journey. Serena looked curiously at him,
"How are you still able to walk during the day? It must be past the Harvest Moon..."
He raised his eyebrows, "You impress me with your knowledge. It is past then indeed
but I am powerful enough to walk about whenever I please."
"You must be very old to be so magic." She said softly.
"I am." He replied.
"How old?" She asked curiously.
"Time has no meaning for me Sere, remember?" He smiled.
She frowned so he added, "I was twenty-five years old when I was bitten and converted.
It was a long, long time ago....thousands of years it seems....."
His voice grew faraway, "Did you know Sere, that when I was mortal, everyone was
natural?"
She nodded, "I studied the ancient times."
"They all had spirit and kindness and compassion like you."
She smiled, "And love?"
He caught her up into his arms, "And love. But I have never known love before
you my Sere...."
She kissed him then, he had been evading her lips since they began travelling.
Beloved.. She murmured tenderly, wrapping her arms about his neck.
The kiss deepened and he pulled her tightly against him a moment, an incoherant moan
breaking from his throat.
Sere.... His minds voice caressed her, enchanted her....seducing.
His lips trailed down to her throat and then suddenly--and quite violently--he pulled
away. Turning from her and hiding his face. Breathing hard.
"What's the matter?" She cried in alarm.
"I can't! I can't!" He cried brokenly. With her spirit so fresh and alive, it was
she that seduced him....and he could barely resist. His blood lust overwhelming his
body's desire.
She tried to touch his shoulder but he jerked away, "No! Go! I will be fine in
a moment--but leave me now!"
She watched with sorrowful eyes and attempted to sooth him with her mind's voice,
Beloved, I--
But he cut her off desperately, No! Please Sere! No! I cannot resist you if you
do! Leave me now!
His voice was shaky and fierce.
She backed away and then dropped to her knees, burying her face in her apron.
And long moments later, she felt the touch of his hands on her shoulders. She tried
to pull away but opened her eyes and met his own sorrowful ones,
"I am sorry Sere...." He gathered her tear-streaked face in his hands and pulled her
into his arms, "I am sorry.....sometimes....you are too great a temptation....and I never
want you to see what a monster my blood-lust makes me...."
"I forget you know....that you are....are.." She trailed off as he stroked her hair
and kissed her softly, "I promise it will not happen again." He vowed.
But it did.
In fact it began to happen far too often. And it broke Serena's heart. This man that
she loved, possessed by such evil that he could not let his body love her.....
Finally, one night, he asked her where she wished to go, now that she had been everywhere.
"If you could go anywhere Sere, where would your heart wish to go most?"
She smiled, stroking his face gently, "When I was a girl, I wanted to go to the moon. I
studied the rebel civilization there as much as I could. I used to pray every night
that they would come take me away....but they never did."
He watched her face surprised. He had assumed she would choose one of the sacred
Mountain villages. He'd forgotten about the Moon people. They were mystics. Beautiful,
sentient people. They were perfect for her. A place to live her life.
"Then, to the moon you will go." He promised.
"You mean we will go!" She laughed, cuddling closer to him.
"No Sere," He said seriously and her breath caught, "Just you my love."
"No!" She cried in anguish, "I will not go without you!"
"Sere! This cannot continue! I am vampire, and loving you, keeping you, it makes
it inevitable that I will lose control and bite you! And I cannot! I will not!
You must go on without me. We cannot stay together!"
She had known, in some small place inside her, that these things would come
to the surface. He was Immortal and she was not. He was Vampire and served
whims and hungers she could not fathom. But desperately she ignored all this.
Her eyes were fierce and determined, "I will not go ANYWHERE without YOU!"
He shook his head sadly, "Sere, go to the moon, start your life, without me...."
And in a blur of dark light, he flew her to the Mountain Village that smuggled people to
the moon....and left her there....
"NO!" She cried out in agony....and her minds voice cried out, reached him and
echoed into his aching body....making him burn....and regret.....
Beloved!
"I am so sorry.....my Sere....."
