Reaching the 4th floor of the building she walked down the hallway trying to see if anything was out of place. She passed the 3rd door from her own it quickly opened as the vampire who claimed to be Jennifer stepped out. For a second Cheyenne couldnt move or breathe.
"Dont worry hes fine I cant sense him so hes either asleep or he got smart and left." She said full of arogance.
Cheyenne didnt bother turning around to face the woman as she talked. She just quickly ran to her door as she tried to control her shaking hands long enough to unlock the door. As she struggled she heard her heartless laugh flow down the hall.
"So cute the mortal seeing if her vampire is still in one piece. I swear if this was just a little bit more pathletic I might actually take pitty on you." She taunted.
Finally unlocking the door Cheyenne jumped inside and slammed the door, she could still hear that laugh outside. She turned around expecting to find a crime scene but she saw nothing everything was fine. She checked all the rooms to find the same result. Taking a breath she arrived and opened her bedroom door. No blood, no body parts everything was fine, but she knew she wouldnt be content until she checked under the bed. Poking her head under the bed her mouth dropped as there was nothing there nothing but her black tile floor. A rush of relief came over her as she concluded that Chris was gone therefore safe. Slipping into her nightgown she traveled back to the main part of the house as she stopped by the kitchen to fix herself a drink. Opening her cooler she grabbed a bottle of strawberry banana juice and her bottle of vodka. She probably put a bit more vodka in her drink than normal but what the hell she needed it after the past day and a half. Finding her spot on the couch she sorted out the letters for her advice column. She focused on relationships in this edition hoping that their questions could help her with her own. Nothing of the sort happened as most of the questions were the classic "How do I get my boyfriend/husband to stop snoring in the middle of the night." Amazed that she'd done the whole column just a few hours she went ahead and sent it off for approval even though she still had whole week to do it. She also decided that if she were to see Chris again then she would just confront him, that seemed logical enough. Enjoying the last of her drink she layed down and let the sounds of her Sirius Radio sing her to sleep.
"I'm sorry." She said tears flooding her face.
"I rushed you I didnt give the time you needed to adjust to this."
They held eachother as the both cried for the other.
"Dont leave me."
"I'll never leave you."
Their moment was interupted by a voice that she had forgotten but knew all to well.
"Maybe you'll be together in another life." It said as gunshots tore through the air.
"No! You said you wouldnt leave me!" Her voice screamed through the air.
"Come on Cheyenne wake up." Chris begged her as he shook her.
Waking up Cheyenne grabbed him and held him close never wanting to let him go. Chris just sat there and held her until she calmed down. It didnt take long as she found the peace and security in his arms. The fact that those same arms could tear her into pieces never entered her mind as her rapid breathing returned to normal. Realizing who was holding her she went back into her panic and leaped off the couch.
"How the hell did you get back into my apartment?" She questioned.
"I never left the bed wasnt working so I went into the bathroom." He answered.
She never checked the bathroom but it didnt matter now as she remembered the hunters threat.
"You need to leave right now." She stood next to the door.
Chris looked at her strangely almost hurt as just a few minutes ago she apparently didnt want him going anywhere with the hold she had on him.
"Why do you want me to leave Cheyenne?"
"Its not safe for you. Theres a vampire hunter 3 doors down from.." She tried to said before Chris cut her off.
"I know shes here I sensed her yesterday. Shes not here now though because I cant sense her. I wouldnt still be here if she was because that would put you in danger." He said.
"Yeah but she could be asleep she told me she cant sense you when your asleep isnt it the same for you?" Cheyenne said running her fingers through her head clearly stressed.
"No I can sense her doesnt matter if shes awake or asleep thats why I have the upper hand, I promise shes not going to hurt me and sure as hell isnt going to hurt you." He said trying his best to keep her calm.
"What are lifemates Chris?" She asked suddenly turning around to face him.
He didnt expect this atleast not now which only made his theories about her more true than they allready were. She stared him down as he tried to come up with answer.
"Lifemates are the ideal mate for a Vampire or any immortal most of the time its a mortal thats their mate since theres more of you than there are of us."
"Ideal mate?" She said not satisfied.
"You know the perfect person someone you can love forever and not have to worry about anything coming between them and in immortals case not even death can stop the bond between their lifemate." He explained looking down at his feet.
"Do you think I could be yours?" She asked biting her lip.
He looked into her eyes knowing full well she probably didnt need him to answer she knew deep down he was. Closing the gap between them he grabbed her by the hips and pulled her against him. Acting on instinct she placed her hands on his chest as his forehead met hers.
"Do you trust me?" He asked.
Cheyenne nodded as he grazed his lips against hers before claming them in a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck as lost all feeling in her legs. All she felt was waves of what could be classified as electricity and even that wouldnt come close to what she was feeling. She didnt care though all she knew was this was the way it was supposed to be to hell with the logic. Chris broke the kiss must to her displeasure and looked at her.
"Did that answer your question?" He smiled slightly.
"Yeah." It was all she could manage to say.
