Chapter 8: Questions and Answers

Eric looked down at the woman he had craved for many years, the woman that made his still, cold heart feel warmth. Abigail Winslow changed his vampire life, and now she was asking him to change her human life. Eric sat up and pulled Abigail with him.

"You've never expressed to me that you ever wanted to be a vampire."

"Well now im expressing it to you." Abigail smiled at Eric and got up on her knees so she could be eye level to the tall vampire. "I know I always said I didn't want to be a vampire, but Eric I was a girl."

"Abby, you are still a girl."

"Eric, no I'm not. Im 28 years old, and if we really want to be together then I think you should change me."

"Well I really want to be with you, but we should wait at least a few months to make sure you really truly want this life." Eric brushed a stray piece of Abby's hair from her face. "You are so beautiful my darling Abigail."

Abby's cheeks redden from the compliment. "I love you Eric." Eric's gaze soften as Abby's whispered confession. He shook is head slowly and gently placed a kiss on her lips.

"I think you will make a stunning vampire alskare." Tears weld up in her eyes and she stood from the bed, she picked up Eric's button up shirt from the floor and slipped it on.

"Vackra, why are you upset?"

"I'm not upset about anything."

"Now your just lying to me."

"Do you love Pam?" Eric shot her a strange look.

"Abigail, Pam is my progeny there is no need to be jealous of her. Plus she has taste for things much more feminine then myself."

"I dont mean to sound jealous Eric. I understand that you two have a very special bond, like you and Godric did." Hearing Godric's name was like having a gallon of ice cold water being poured on your body. "I just want to know if you love her, the way that Godric loved you."

"I love Pam as any maker loves their childe."

"So if you were my maker you would love me?" It was like the light bulb went off in Eric's head. Abigail was just trying seeking out his affection and love by being turned into a vampire.

"Come here alskare." Abby walked towards Eric, she stopped directly in front of him he body standing in between his long muscular legs. "Come closer." Eric's arms came around her body and gently pulled her down onto one of his thighs. "Do you want me to turn you into a vampire because you think it will make me love you?"

"Thats not the only reason, but its what originally made me want to be turned. Russell told me that the only way you'd ever be able to truly be with me, to truly love me was to be a vampire."

"You listen to the words of the man you killed?"

"Well he was a crazy maniac but he was a very old vampire so I figured he knew what he was talking about."

"Abigail i'll make you a deal."

"Alright."

"In one year if you still want to be turned into a vampire I will be more than pleased to do so."

"Why a whole year?"

"Because once I turn you thats it, There is no going back, it will be you and I for all eternity and for someone who claimed to hate me three days ago thats a awfully large 180."

"I know but I was just angry at you. Ive loved you since I was a teenager, I cant stop loving you even why I try too." Abigail wrapped her arms around Eric neck, tears slowly falling from her eyes "I just want to be with you and for us to be happy."

"Dont cry my little one, your tears can bring me no happiness."

"I'm sorry Eric, I just want you so bad it hurts sometimes." Eric whipped her tears away with his thumb and rubbed the salty tear on his lips. He pulls her head to his and slowly kisses her. The mixture of her tears in his mouth was delicious and left him craving for more of her, her body, and her blood. Eric pulled away from Abigail who moaned in displeasure from their kissing ending so soon.

"One year and we decide?" Eric asked

"One year."

"Good now that its settled tell Santa what you want for Christmas." Abigail shot Eric a confused look. "Well you are sitting on my lap, I saw at a mall once that children lined up to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas." Abby through her head back and laughed.

"Well I've been very naughty so I doubt Santa will bring me anything this year."

"Yes you have been a naughty naughty girl this year, might as well continue being naughty." With that Eric tossed Abby onto the bed with his vampire strength and crawled on top of her small framed body. "Just because Santa doesnt reward you for being bad doesnt mean I wont." And with that Eric thrust himself into Abby.
