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?

It was Todd who winced when Marty slapped his brother. "Marty, it was me who turned you," Todd stated. "So if you want to be angry with someone, hate me."

Staring into Todd's eyes, Marty felt her anger begin to fade. It wasn't in Marty's character to stay angry for very long. Taking his hand, Marty apologized to Victor for slapping him.

"I'm sorry," she said sincerely. "I shouldn't have slapped you, but it was such a big shock; to wake up and discover I had become a vampire. It wasn't what I was expecting."

She then turned to look at Todd. "I forgive you, Todd. I could never hate you. You did what you had to do," Marty said.

Todd tugged her into his arms and held her tight. "I love you, baby... and I am glad you can forgive me," he told her. "I only did it because we were losing you."

"I know that," she said as he tenderly kissed her.

"What will it be like now that I am a vampire?" Marty asked. "Will I start craving blood?"

"We'll show you everything you need to know," Victor promised. "Now that you are a vampire, you'll heal from our daughter's birth very quickly. As soon as you are well enough, we'll show you how to use your powers."

"I can't wait to learn," Marty told them.
