Love or Blood
Main Summary
Authors Notes: I have been working on this story for sometime now. It's a bit confusing so I think a summary is needed. This story does follow a quest line but it's really of little importance. This will be at times a bit of a dark fic so in later chapters the rating may be pushed to M. (It is still a bit sketchy though.) Just please let me know what you think of it.^^ I'd also like to add that I'm no good at romance stories. Truth be told, I don't really care for them. This whole story is really just a big experiment for me. XD

Everyone who has ever played Oblivion is aware of its vampires or the Vampire Cure quest, and so should know of Janus Hassildor. (If you haven't than look no further! I don't want to spoil this awesome game for you! XD) This is a story based off the Vampire Cure quest line (but that wont show until later chapters) and is mainly about the Count himself.
I felt awful bad when playing the game and discovering the Counts secret wife. The story is so tragic that I'm really surprised no one else has created a story similar to this one. (If you are the author of one sorry for that last line. I have just never seen your story)
This fic is a story about a young girl: Abigale Lynn, who becomes indebt to Janus Hassildor. He then makes her his newest servant. The story is told through first person and third. The parts entering third person let know what the Count is thinking without going directly into his head. The story takes place at the time when the Count is finally thinking of letting Rona have the rest she desires. But that is what makes this a story: the Count is indecisive over many things. Mainly over Rona and his new maid. XD
If you decide that this story is interesting and want to read it, I'll ask you to put yourself in Abigale and Count's shoes. Abigale Lynn is very naïve and does not understand the Counts feelings or motives (naive not stupid XD). Abigale is blind to the Count odd affections and kindness, she only goes on what she knows and feels. He is a vampire, she is blood. But as the story proceeds she comes to think of him as a friend, the closest one she's had in years. But what does the Janus Hassildor really think of her?
The Count is at first skeptical of Abigale because of what she had done to earn her place in the castle, but soon grows fond of her. Although she has a rough back round she is smart, pretty and sweet. Sooo, Janus soon starts to 'like' her. But when he registers these feelings he becomes guilty and slightly annoyed by them.
With Rona in eternal slumber and hidden away in the Chamber of Fate, his sudden compassion for the girl makes him more than confused. Everyday his feelings grow stronger and so does his guilt. In this story he begins to unravel (what I would think anyone in his position might do) and his thoughts and worries torment him. Poor guy. I'm so mean huh? XD
Janus does not want to let Rona go but he knows it is what she wants. Nor does he want to stay simply friends with Abigale. But does she share the same feelings for him? What happens if Janus tells her of his affections and she says no, no she does not feel the same way.
And what are these odd affections anyway? He has not felt anything but sadness and displeasure in such a long time that when this all begins to happen he does not yet know what he is really feeling. Is he really in love with this girl or is it simply lust?
No, he knows it's love, but what is he in love with more: her love or blood?
(Dramatic BUM, BUM, BUM!^^ )

Sadly all of my silly little quotes and sarcasm will be for the most part left out of this fic, it's a bit more serious, confusing and long. Let me know what you honestly think of this. The next chapter will be the prologue of Abigale (how she gets herself into his debt) and is as all my prologues -- a bit short. But after that the real, long story begins. There wont be really much of combat action in this story, it's more of an angst/romance… well kinda romance. Abigale can be as dumb as a post sometimes. Some familiar faces will pop up (hehe D.B) but that's enough spoiling.
