Chapter 4
Mary-Lynette was drinking. She didn't know what she was drinking. All she knew was that she was thirsty. And she was having a hard time remembering what had happened in the past few days. She was trapped in a mind... hers.
Ash... Ash... Ash...
I'm right here.
Huh?
It's going to be okay. I'm here.
How'd you get here? In Briar Creek, I mean. I'm pretty curious on how you got in my mind, though, too.
It's a long story. The amnesia will wear off in a couple minutes, though. You'll remember.
Okay. I'm happy you're here, though.
I'm happy I'm here, too.
Okay, Mary-Lynette. When I pull away memories will come flooding back. Don't do anything until I explain, though, okay?
Okay.
Ash pulled away. He stepped back to look at her. Goddess, she's beautiful. And he knew that how she looked before she was a vampire was preety hard to top. Boy, was he wrong.
Mary-Lynette now remembered everything. "Ash! I can't believe you turned me into a vampire! After last time you tried to turn me into a vampire I thought you would learn! BUT YOU DON'T LEARN FROM ANYTHING, ASH, DO YOU?"
"Mare....."
"I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT!!!"
"Mary-Lynette, you said that you would give me a chance to explain."
"Fine. Explain."
"How would I explain that I love you?"
Mary-Lynette was quiet.
"Because I do love you. And I've tried to change. For you."
"I know that, Ash. But you tried your best to change and maybe..."
"Maybe what?" Ash asked as the silence droned on.
"That maybe your best just isn't good enough."
"Mary-Lynette. What you see is what you get. Take it or leave it."
"Take."
Neither of them were sure who moved first, but they did and they were kissing and the silver cord was singing. After a while Ash pulled away.
"Come back to Vegas with me."
"Wouldn't dream of saying no."
The next day she packed and she knew it was only the beginning.
