Three

He looks at me and clucks his tongue again. "Your purpose is three things. Two are some what easy and the third may make you, panic. It will make you panic." I nod my head urging him to continue. He nods back and looks at my hands seeming like he was ashamed of something. Then he spoke. "Your easiest purposes are. One is to help me make peace on the world. Two is keep me in line, because I get very protective over things that belong to me, or are in my life. You wonder why I have brought you to this forest, have you considered the peace it has, well that's because I charmed out the bad, to keep it away from you."

He took a deep breath and looked into my eyes, pleading for me to understand. The weird part is that I felt like this was the easiest things and that the hard ones were just around the corner. I grab his hand and clench it allowing him to know we were in it together.

"Ok and the hard part is… obviously hard to explain to you. Uh, well, the thing is you already know that I am a vampire, and the reason that is, is because you are alive and I am basically dead. You are the reason of peace for life and I, for death. If we work together, life and death would be at peace. The world would finally rest, we all would rest, then wake. But, the hard thing I told you about is getting to the peace. We need to defeat the ones who look to destroy the love between all. We must stop it. We can stop it."

He pulls me onto his lap and kisses my cheek. I lay back against him wondering how all this could be true. How this could make me true. He looks into my eyes making me momentarily stop in my tracks. "You must understand without you, I, us, we cannot save the world from the darkness. We must save the world, because without us it will all end up in chaos and destruction."

It was my turn to speak but I couldn't find myself to speak. So I just sat there on his lap mystified. I felt him nudge me so I glanced up. His eyes were looking at a deer and her little baby. He was trying to walk to the grass on the other side of the meadow, but his little stick legs kept wobbling underneath his fragile body of fur.

I look back at Axel and his eyes seemed glued on the deer and her child. He looked sad, upset about something. I laid my head against him and he seemed to snap back to me. His hands around my waist he pulled me back towards him so that I could really lie on his shoulder. He spoke softly in my ear. "Do you want to live at my house, or at the one I recently bought for the both of us?" I yawned and licked my lips while I thought. "Our home, and when will we get there because you may have a blood meal where ever you go but I don't so I may need to get a bite to eat…" He waved his hand in the moonlight. "None sense you think I wouldn't be prepared for your arrival. Ha I have enough food stocked in the cupboards to last years for you. Oh, and I hope you don't mind the red when we get there." He looked at me again and then I saw it again, the regretting face, ashamed. "I have to see red before I fall asleep. If I don't I wake with a temper. I don't want you to see that side of me." I laughed and kissed his forehead. "Don't look so, I DIDN'T DO IT! We all have our flaws, mine our a little bit smaller, but I have a lot more."

Axel laughs. "You are pretty klutzy." He suddenly tenses and turns to me. "Airina I am so sorry but if I don't eat soon I'll get very cranky, but don't worry I will be right back." He kisses my lips and gets up to leave, but I stop him and pull him back to me. I look down at the ground while saying this because I felt embarrassed. "No need to, you can bite me again. The last time felt quite overwhelming; I loved it. I felt like I was over my head. I felt like you took one look at the world and saw it backwards the next. It was so warm and I could hear all your thoughts in my head."

This seemed to have taken Axel back, because he started to pace. "You said you could hear me in your head, you could hear my thoughts. You said you felt warm, no stab of pain?" He looked at me like I had lost my mind, or that he had lost his. I shake my head no. "It was so comforting. I was lost in lov-"I stopped I said too much already and he heard me.

He looked at me and smiled a wide smile that made me think I have never seem him happier, which I really haven't. "Finish what you were about to say." He said urging me to continue. I said it in breaths. "Well. I. Said. I. Was. Lost. In. Love. I am in love with you. I'm in love with you Axel."

And that's when I blacked out from all the stress and possibly mentioning Axel my crazed love for him.
