I Love You Both

by angelsinstead

Marty has been waiting impatiently for her vampire lover to come and take her away from her unhappy existence. She would provide him with sustenance and sex, and he would provide her with safety from the abuse and unhappiness she had known in her life. How could she have known it would be so complicated? How could she have known that HE would want her, too?

Comfort

Victor did everything in his power to comfort and console her when she cried, but Marty was heartbroken. The pain of being separated from Todd was more than she could bear. "Why did you do it?" she questioned Victor. "Why did you take me from Todd?"

"I have feelings for you," Victor admitted. "I want you to remain here... with me."

"If you don't return me to Todd immediately, then it will be you that is keeping me against my will," she said to him a steely voice. "I do not want to be your captive."

Although Marty didn't want to admit it, she was developing feelings for Victor, too. When he held her, comforted her, and brushed away her tears, she longed to remain his embrace. She began to wonder if it was possible that she could be falling in love with Victor, too. Her heart ached, because she did not want to betray Todd.

Irene had admitted the truth to her son. "Victor took Marty," she stated. "Where she is, I do not know."

Todd found no comfort in the fact that his beloved had been snatched from him. He vowed to find Victor and make him pay. "If my brother has touched Marty in any way, I will destroy him," Todd told his mother.

Irene was fearful for her favorite son, because she knew Todd spoke the truth. "Don't be too hasty, Todd," she warned.

"He shouldn't have taken her from me."

"I beg you, Todd... do not hurt Victor," Irene said in a pleading voice.

"I have a weapon I will use against Victor. I will defeat him... and I WILL bring Marty home," Todd stated.
