Lyric picked up the book than locked herself back up in the bathroom. She walked towards the tub and sat down on the floor. She put her back against it and opened the big, leather bond book. Some of the writing as his, she'd know it anywhere. He had left her a few notes on her car before. Some of the writing wasn't. It was small, almost to faded to read. She took a deep breath and started reading.

Lyric closed her eyes and swallowed. She didn't have to read his words to know what happen. She could remember it plain as day. It was like it had happen only the night before.

After a while Jerry came back to his room. He opened the door and found her sitting on the side of the bed, her back to the door. The book was in the center of the bed. Jerry walked in and shut the door quietly. He walked over to the left side of the bed and sat down so he was directly across from her. Their backs were facing each other. He leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees.
" He was waiting under the bed." She spoke softly.
" Who was?" Jerry asked.
" Phillip. He was under the bed. She...I...had my back to the bed and didn't see him as he climbed out. I turned around just as he stood up. He rushed me and stabbed me. I couldn't breath. The pain was horrible. I think I screamed but I don't know." Jerry rested his head in his hands and closed his eyes. He had always wondered what had happen. " I moved to the bed and he went out my window. I started to cry and laid down. I knew I was dying." He could tell Lyric was crying. " I just couldn't breath, no matter how hard I tried. I was so scared." She fell silent for a few minutes.
" I smelled your blood as soon as I came into the house." He said softly.
" The day we were married when I was Julianna, I had my hair down. You always liked it when I had it down and natural. We were married in the back garden." Lyric said.
" I still like your hair down and natural." Jerry said.
" When the carriage went off the bridge, the water rushed in right away. It was so cold, it stung my skin. I held my breath as long as I could. I thought you were going to come at any minute, I was sure of it. I don't even know why I opened my mouth. I think it was automatic. My lungs were burning."
" Did you pass quickly?" He asked. She nodded knowing he wasn't looking at her. She was speaking quietly but her voice was laced with tears.
" I swallowed the water first, I think. I don't know, one minute I was there, the next I wasn't." Lyric said. She swallowed hard. " Maybe we aren't supposed to be together." She said. Jerry raised his head up. He stared into his bathroom.
" But I keep finding you." He said. When she didn't answer him, Jerry stood up. He walked around the bed and over to her side. He sank down beside her.
" But you keep losing me." She said. Their shoulders were touching together.
" That wouldn't happen this time. I'm going to change you." Jerry said. Lyric frowned and looked at him.
" What?" She asked. He looked at her and nodded.
" I want to change you." He said. Lyric shook her head.
" No."
" What do you mean no?" Jerry asked. In her other life forms she couldn't wait for him to turn her.
" You can't just make plans to change me. I don't know if I want to be a vampire." She said. They looked at each other for a few minutes before she looked away. " I like the sun." Suddenly he saw a thought slip over her and she looked back at him quickly. " How is it that I never questioned you about the sun?' It was his turn to look away from her.
" You did. I glamoured you into forgetting about it." He said.
" You did what?" She asked.
" I glamoured you. I wasn't ready to have this talk with you so when you asked about going out during the day, I glamoured you into forgetting about it." Jerry said.
" Have you glamoured me other times?" She asked. Her anger was coming back to her. Jerry nodded slowly.
" I did it to make you dance with me when we went to the bar. I can't go into a house without being invited first so I glamoured you into invite me in. When you were sleeping, I used my glamour to make you dream about your past lives." When she didn't say anything, he looked at her. Her face was pale but he could see how pissed she was.
" You were in my apartment when I was asleep?" She asked. He took a deep breath and nodded. "How many times were you in there?"
" Every night." They stared at each other for a few minutes before her mouth went tight. She looked away then back at him, then away again before she jumped up.
" You motherfucker!" She yelled, slightly surprising him. People didn't normally get angry with him or call him names if they knew he was a vampire.
" Excuse me?" He asked as she started pacing.
" What the fuck is wrong with you!" She yelled. " How could you do that! How could you just come into my house when I'm sleeping! Do you understand how wrong that is? Do you understand how fucking creeping that is?" She snapped.
" I wanted you to remember." Jerry defended. Lyric turned and faced him with her hands on her hips.
" Oh, I see, so this whole relationship just has to go the way you want it too?" She snapped again. "How the hell am I supposed to know what is real or not real? You just glamoured the hell out of me and I never fucking knew it! Did you glamour me into wanting to be with you?"
" No, of course not." Jerry said.
" Oh don't act that is so below you, jack ass!" She yelled.
" You need to calm down." Jerry said.
" No! You do not get to tell me what to do, you undead fuck!" She yelled. Before she knew what was happening, Jerry was up and had her by her throat. He growled as he yanked her too him. Her eyes went wide with fear.
" I may be a lot of things, but I am not an undead fuck, a jackass, or a motherfucker. I have had enough with your name calling." He hissed with his fangs out. " I could bite you and change you and there would be nothing you could do." Her hands came up to his wrist.
" You're hurting me." She barely got out. Jerry's face soften slightly and his hold on her lessen.
" I'm sorry." He said as he let her go completely. He sat down on the bed while she backed away from him until she hit the wall. She slid down to the ground.
" Why am I with you?" She whispered. He stared at the floor. " Did you glamour me into dating you?" He shook his head.
" No."
" Have you glamoured me into falling in love with you?" She whispered. Slowly their eyes met. He slipped down the bed.
" No." He said. He started crawling over to her. " That wouldn't work. You would only feel that way for a day or two, the the feeling would wear off." He reached out and gently touched her leg. He cursed himself when she jumped and pulled way from him. " Please, Lyric, don't be scared of me."
" You choked me and hissed at me." She said.
" I know, I'm sorry." He said as he continued to move up her. She closed her eyes when his hand came to her face. He was on her left side, touching the right side of her face. His hand slipped into her hair as he brought his forehead against her. " I love you." He whispered. She nodded as she sobbed.
" I love you, too." She admitted. He tilted his head and kissed her, just a simple, closed mouth kiss. That was all it supposed to be.
Her hands came up to his neck. She took a shaky breath but parted her lips. He groaned as his tongue went into her mouth quickly. He brought her to him when she responded to him. She half moaned, half sobbed as they made out. He gently turned her and guided her to lay on her back. He never broke their kissing when he laid over her.
As skillfully as he always did, he undressed her then himself. His hands, once again, went into her hair before he laid down on top of her. His mouth claimed hers only a second before his body did. She moaned and arched her back. His left hand moved from her hair to her neck. Lyric's eyes were shut and she was breathing heavely already. Her tongue darted out and over her bottom lip. He brought his mouth down to the base of her throat. His thrusts were slow but steady.
" Oh God..." She whimpered when he started dragging his tongue up the center of her throat.
" I've waiting hundreds of years for you." He whispered. She was still whimpering when her hands took a hold of him. " You are everything to me." He brought his forehead to hers again. She opened her eyes and they locked onto his as they moved together.
She started moving her hips faster so he adjusted his thrusts to match hers. Her eyes fluttered shut so he took the advantage and kissed her hard. His tongue moved around hers, twisting, untwisting, moaning, sighing, groaning and whimpering. They made out until she started to lose it around him. He moved to her neck and sucked on her pulse point but he was only a few seconds into her orgasm when his own rolled though him.
