Chapter Two: Can I Trust You?

"Vlad, can I trust you?" Erin asked the Vampire who sat in his comfty chair reading a book on Shakespeare, he couldn't get enough of it.

"The question should be if I should trust you, Erin, not the other way around." He replied never taking his eyes of the book. Erin shuffled uncomfortably from foot to foot. "Never mind, yeah, I guess so, you can trust me." Vlad said.

"I need you to be honest with me." Erin said, she now had his full attention.. "Do you love me? I need to trust you because last time I trusted you, I ended up dying, waking up to see my blood on your shirt. I need to be sure. Do you love me?"

"I don't know. No. Yes. I'm sure I love you. Why do you need to trust me to answer this?" Vlad said.

"I don't know, I trust you with my life again. Well, unlife. Just to let you know, ok?" Erin said, with this, she walked out the living room and started crying.

"Hello, Ingrid? I need your help." Vlad said over the phone, he was in his room so Erin couldn't hear their conversation.

"What?" Came Ingrid's solemn reply.

"It's Erin, she keeps crying, I haven't done or said anything to hurt her. When I ask her what's wrong she turns her back on me. Can you come, please?" He said, if his sister was in front of him, he would have got on his knees and begged her.

"Fine, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Just keep an eye on her." Ingrid said and with that, she hung up.

"Typical Ingrid..." Vlad groaned to himself. He walked out of his room and went to Erin's. He walked in without her permission to find her undressing, her bra still on. "Oh my...I am so sorry I thought you were still crying so I wanted to check up on you." Vlad said desperately, trying not sound like he wanted to do this.

"It's ok. It's your house. I'm not crying so you don't need to check up on me, ok?" She turned, she forgot she had no top on, she realised at the way Vlad was flinching away. "Oh for bat's sake Vlad! You're going to see all this one day, don't be sad" She teased. "You can look, I'm not going to take my bra off in a company of a man you know." She said, he opened his eyes and stared at her face, not going below that point.

"You probably did for Malick" He said. Ouch, that hurt. He immediately regretted what he said and apologised, "Sorry..." he mumbled.

"No, it's ok. You have every right to be upset." She slipped her top on. "So why's Ingrid coming over?" She asked.

"I thought you two could talk to each other. About why you have been crying a lot lately." Vlad admitted.

"Right... Ok then. Will you be there?" She looked at the ground.

"If you want me to be." He replied.

"You can be there. After all, I trust you. When will she be here?" She asked.

"Any minute...now." He said and the door rang.

"Wow!" Erin exclaimed. They both shot downstairs to let Ingrid in. "Hi." Erin greeted the stern Vampire.

"Hello. Vladimir, Erin." Ingrid greeted. "Erin, I think we should have a chat, is that ok with you?" Ingrid asked. She looked at Erin who was staring at her blue converses.

"Yeah, I guess so...Can Vlad join us?" Erin asked, her eyes never leaving her feet. Vlad looked at Ingrid who looked at Erin.

"Erm...Sure, if he wants to?" Ingrid asked her brother, who shrugged in reply. They sat down on the sofa, with Erin in the middle of them. "Why have you be crying lately?" Ingrid asked her.

"I don't know, to be honest?" Erin admitted. Ingrid stroked Erin's shoulder in comfort ignoring Vlad's expression towards this.

"Has it got something to do with Malick's death? It's ok, you know." Ingrid said, Erin immediately shook her head, she didn't want to insult Vlad. "Ok. Has it got something to do with Vlad?" Ingrid asked, looking at her brother. His face was scrunched up in confusion. Erin tensed a bit and Ingrid nodded. "You still love him." She smiled. Vlad shot out of the room. Erin following him.

"You already know this. Why is it such a shock to you?" Erin asked him, he had his back turned to her.

"I know. But if you still loved me, why did you do all that?" Vlad asked. He was referring to her kissing Malick and betraying him. "I thought love overuled loyalty...I guess I was stupid and wrong to believe that you ever loved me. We've only ever kissed once but I bet you kissed him loads of times." Vlad said, he now had the strength to face her. Erin felt hurt at his words.

"I only ever loved you!" Erin pleaded with him. She could see the hurt in his eyes and she started crying.

"If you loved me, you would have forgave me for biting you. I swore a promise to you that I'll protect you, how could I do that if you were dead? I would have let you down!" Vlad screamed, he started to walk away.

"I never knew that. I'm sorry." Erin said, wiping her eyes and going after him.

"That's because you never saw things from my view." He said and stopped to face her. She nearly bumped into him due to his sudden halt. "Oh yeah, and one thing, I stopped loving you months ago when I knew there was no hope for us." Vlad said and walked away again. Erin couldn't stop herself from breaking down completely and falling down scrunching up into a ball, Ingrid saw her and went to hug and stroke her hair.

"It's ok..." Ingrid said, "It's ok." She looked up from Erin to see her brother's face stern and angry looking directly at her before walking away again. "She loves you!" Ingrid screamed after him.

"Oh yeah? Well, it's too late." Vlad said, over his shoulder never stopping to look directly at Ingrid.
