-Broken-

Three weeks later

He didn't leave them out of spite; he had to leave them because they were in grave danger from him. That idiotic vampire, thought Deidre, he ruins EVERYTHING, I had everything perfect, but he just had to kill the one man I loved. She took a quick look at the paling young man sitting next to her nursing a small cup of tea. Well, she thought, now he's undead. She chuckled a little. She made a joke, how unbecoming of her. Itachi looked over at her.

"What's so funny?" She looked at him with a soft look. The look of his pale skin, and his beautiful dark eyes just gave her a feeling of euphoria.

"Why don't we skip this place, grab a bite to eat," She chuckled again, "and go to our hotel room." He gazed into her eyes, and then he nodded. They got up and headed out. After they had drained a lowly criminal they headed to their hotel room or motel room as they wanted a cheap and private place to conduct their business.

Deidre's head lay on Itachi's hard chest, and sighed. After having hard sex she was tired, but yet so many things were going through her head. Like her explaining this to her mother, and her father. She sighed. Itachi was snoring, and pretty loudly, too. She got up, put on a robe, and headed out. The moon was full, just like she liked it, the magic flowing through her old bones. She wasn't really that old. Only 250 years old, Deidre was in the prime of her life. The oldest vampire alive was her grandfather. He was 5,266 years, and the Grand Elder. She took out a cigarette, lit it up, took a puff, and blew it out.

"You do know that that'll give you cancer." She suddenly turned. Braxton, her brother, stood in the glow of the moon. She'd never been so happy to see him.

"Oh, Braxton, I don't know what to do." He nodded his head, thick auburn locks swaying.

"It is rational for you to feel this was, Deidre." She looked towards their room.

"He is everything my heart desires and yearns for. I just couldn't let him die." Braxton nodded, his emerald green eyes glimmered. He was so caring.

"I don't know what to tell Mother or Father." Braxton chuckled.

"You don't have to; the Oracle already told them everything." Her head snapped towards him.

"You mean Lucas is in Prison?"

"Err, no, unfortunately they didn't see anything Lucas said before he killed Itachi." She silently cussed.

"He's planning to overthrow Mother." Braxton nodded his head.

"Wouldn't surprise me, Lucas has his own agenda." Deidre shook her head. Damn it, Lucas should pay for his mutinous plans. She just had to tell her mother. A subtle breeze tickled her nose and she sneezed three times. That was a promising sign. She took one more puff from her cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stamped it out. She turned to face Braxton.

"I have to go, we have another three weeks until we get to Vampire Manor, then the real test shall begin." He nodded.

"I'll tell Mother what you just told me." Deidre nodded. That would be great, if she could get the news to Mother. Lucas will pay.

Braxton left, and she turned to go into their room, but Itachi was standing there. She gasped.

"How much did you hear?"

"I heard 'he's planning to overthrow Mother' then I listened to the conversation from there. Who was that man?" She chuckled.

"He's my Brother, Braxton, and you shouldn't eavesdrop on people like that." He held up his hands in defeat.

"Sorry, I just didn't want to interrupt you." She smiled at him; it was a soft smile glowing with sweetness that encompassed her sapphire blue eyes as well. He smiled, too.

"Come on, maybe I can get some sleep, I'm beat." She went into his opened embrace. He leaned into her ear, and softly said, "I love you so much, and thank you for giving me a second chance at life." She balked and looked up at him, "what is it?"

"I love you, too, and you're welcome." She had a very strange, but happy, look on her face. He chuckled.

"I've been thinking about our conversation earlier, and what I am now isn't as different as if I was human, but there are a few changes to my anatomy. Like my fangs, for instance, or my retractable claws, and my eternal thirst for blood. I can go out in sunlight, but it'll be very irritating, though. I'm not a monster." He opened the door. She felt a tear escape and roll down her cheek.

"I'm so proud of you, Itachi." He chuckled. Praise from his Maker, and his lover. Maybe this second life won't be so bad after all. He wasn't broken.
