Vampire Romance

Completely stunned he staggered to the huge gate. He reached

for it and remained a moment to breathe, as a deafening howl
resounded close. Ian gripped the iron bars in panic and pulled it.
What luck! With a loud creaky noise it could be opened. He
quickly slipped through and closed it quickly behind him.
Suddenly he lost his strength and collapsed. The world began to
spin, a low groan escaped Ian's lips. The towers and battlements
of the huge castle that loomed over him seemed to dance around
him. Far away he heard soft footsteps through the pleasant
darkness. Then, at last he fell into the long-awaited
unconsciousness. A gentle female voice came into Ian's
consciousness and brought him slowly back to reality. She
hummed a wonderful melody. He opened his eyes, flickering. The
first thing Ian saw was a pair of emerald green eyes that looked at
him lovingly. The lovely melody had ceased, but the gentle voice
now spoke to him, 'Here, drink this.' A cup of water was given into
his hand. Ian sat up carefully and drank so quickly that he choked.
'Careful.' The voice sounded caring beside him. Ian looked at the
young woman. She looked so delicate and lovely as her voice
sounded. Her hair was black and fell in thousands of corkscrew
curls over her bare shoulders. Her eyes glowed in the most
beautiful emerald green and her lips were full and soft. 'Where am
I?' Ian asked with his voice still scratchy. 'You are in the castle,
you fainted-' 'Oh my God,' Ian interrupted the young woman and
retreated back in panic, so he bumped his head on the wall. 'You,
you are!' He stammered, staring wide-eyed at the long canines of
the woman before him. She looked a bit concerned at him. Ian
grabbed, still completely appalled, at his neck and checked it
frantically, made sure there weren't any wounds. The young
woman took his hand to make him calm down. 'Nothing happened
to you. I have saved you and I'm watching over you. You really
don't need to be afraid, no one will do anything to you.' Finally he
calmed down a little. 'But you are-' 'In reality I am not much
different to you!' She gave his hand free and filled his cup with
Water again. Ian was watching this very closely. A vampire! A real
vampire sat there and took care of him! It seemed absurd, he had
had an entirely different picture of these creatures. Ugly and
brutal blood-suckers, he had imagined them, not so lovely and
graceful as the young woman infront of him. She handed him the
cup again. Ian hesitated for a moment but then he grabbed it, did
not drink but kept the cup holding it with both hands in front of his
chest. 'You live alone in this big castle?', he finally ventured to
ask. She laughed, amused. What a wonderful laugh she has., Ian
thought. 'Do you really think so?' She asked. Her eyes sparkled at
him. Ian was confused. But then she further talked: 'No, this is the
castle of my father. There are a fiew of us living here.' 'And are
here even more -' Ian hesitated for a moment. 'Humans?' He
asked. She shook her head slightly. 'No, you're the only one. And
you are allowed to stay here only because I begged my father for
it.' Ian took a sip of water, then he put the cup away. 'But why?
Why did you do that?' She looked at him a bit embarrassed and
kneaded her hands nervously. 'I don't know exactly. I guess I felt
sorry for you. And maybe I thought you look kinda like a nice
guy...' He was amazed. Suddenly she looked into his eyes again
and grabbed his hand. 'You will stay here with me, right?', she
asked and her eyes seemed to begg him. Ian looked at her a little
frightened. His eyes wandered, without him noticing it, down to
her dekoltee. Her round breasts pressed themselves with every
breath against the dark red corset which she wore over her dress.
'I, uh.' he stammered. 'I'm actually not so sure-' 'Please!', she
begged and came a bit closer. Ian's view still stucked on her
breasts. 'I beg you! It can be so great here, you'll see! Please stay
with me! No one will harm you!' Ian nodded just totally hypnotized.
'Great!' She shouted in youthful enthusiasm, jumping up. Ian
shook his head like when he was suddenly snatched from a kind
of trance and looked at the young woman who had turned around
and was now walking toward the door. 'I'll just tell my father!', she
exulted. 'Wait!', he called after her. The hand on the doorknob,
she stopped and turned with a bewildered look on him. Ian had
been thinking to tell her that he would not stay with her, but this
sweet face! 'What's your name?', he finally escaped from the
situation. The bewildered expression in the young woman's face
turned into a soft smile. 'Anna.', that was all she said and then she
disappeared through the door. One moment Ian was still staring at
the massive wooden door. The urge to jump up and flee just
gradually disappeared, somehow, he suddenly had the feeling
that something great awaited him here. It had probably been his
fate that he had ended up here. Anna ran through the vast
corridors, which were illuminated only by candles. As she passed
a door she stopped. The door led to one of the many balconies
and there stood a tall man, slim with narrow hips. He wore fine
material to the body and leather pants. His hair was white blond
and with silver streaks in various shades of gray, it was long and
he wore it as always in the neck tied in a braid. His face was
turned to the full moon, which was enthroned at the starry sky.
Anna leaned against the frame of the open door and folded her
arms over her chest. 'Are you dreaming again, brother?', she said
teasingly and almost reproachfully. He looked at her over his
shoulder with the same emerald colored eyes, as her own. 'What
do you want?' Anna tosses her curls behind her shoulders and
also enters onto the balcony in the fresh night air. 'I have him so
far, Gabriel!' It did not seem to interest him and he looked up
again. 'He begins to trust me.' She leaned back against the stone
balustrade beside her brother. 'I'll wait until he has fallen
completely for me and gave me voluntary surrender.' She raised
her right hand and ran her finger over her lips with relish. 'Then
his blood will taste so delicious that I will nearly burst in sensation!
And I'll enjoy it to the last drop till his heart stops beating!' She
laughed madly. 'Why are you telling me, Anna? You know very
well that I think your doing is disgusting! You are so dastardly!'
Anna grinned and looked at him. 'That's exactly why I tell it to you,
Gabriel! Because you are such a tender little soul!' Suddenly
Gabriel turned around, grabbed her by the collar of her hooded
cloak, and showed his teeth furiously. In his eyes flashed anger,
but Anna just laughed at him. 'Don't you dare to say something
like that again!', he hissed angrily out from between his bared
teeth. But Anna just laughed even more. 'You do not have your
emotions under control, brother.', she said badly grinning and
looked him straight in the eyes. Gabriel pushed her disgusted
away. 'Get out of my eyes, crazy woman!' Ian opened his eyes,
wild dreams had haunted him, but he could not remember their
content. He looked to the side. There she sat again and looked at
him lovingly. 'Anna.' He said, still a little confused. 'Have you been
dreaming bad?' She asked anxiously and laid softly her hand on
his forehead. Ian took her hand and led it to his lips. 'Now it is
much better.' , he said, and looked into her eyes. She looked
embarrassed at the floor and pulled her hand back. For a moment
she remained so, but then again she seemed to grasp. 'You are
certainly curious, I will show you the castle!' Ian said nothing, he
simply got up. Anna also stood up. She was standing quite close
to him and looked up at him. He sank into her eyes, was
enchanted by these sparkling jewels. After a few seconds she
took his hand and pulled him gently to the door. The castle was
huge! It was dark, but that changed nothing of its beauty and
splendor. The walls seemed to rise up to infinity, with ornate
windows. Everywhere were stone figures, gargoyles grinning
down from above on Ian as if they knew anything, that cheered
them up in a cruel manner. The impressions seemed to flood Ian,
so he was not even able to hold them all. There was so much to
see. And Anna showed him everything. Outside the castle there
also was a lot to see, the courtyards were at least as impressive
as the Castle itself. Abandoned, small houses, large gardens
which stretched into the darkness. Then she led him to a small
lake, surrounded by trees that stretched their crowns into the sky.
And here they stayed at last. 'You like it?', she asked smiling. Ian,
still overwhelmed let slip from his lips a pleasant sigh. 'It's
incredible!' She smiled at him, then she grabbed softly into the
material of his shirt and leaned her head lovingly on his chest. 'It's
so nice to finally, after all this time have someone at my side.', she
sighed. Ian raised his arms and wrapped them around her
delicate shoulders. Then he suddenly discovered a figure in the
darkness. It was a man, leaning his back against one of the trees.
He was tall and slim, wore beautiful clothes. His long hair
shimmered in the moonlight. 'Who is that?' Ian said quietly. Anna
raised her head and followed his gaze. 'That's my brother,
Gabriel.', she said suddenly in a very different tone. Ian looked
down at her. 'You seem not to have a good relationship with him.'
'That is not really important.', she said, and took him back to his
hand. 'Come, let us go back in, I'm getting cold.' They stepped
back into the room and sat down side by side on the bed. Anna
now seized his other hand and looked deep into his eyes. 'You
are so dear to me. I am so happy now that you're with me.' She
leaned closer to him. 'Although I do not really know you, you are
doing something with me, you resolve a strange but pleasant
feeling in me when you're near me. I feel so comfortable with you.'
Ian suddenly grabbed the desire to kiss those tender lips from
which these words were breathed sweet. His fears by now were
completely forgotten, had simply vanished into thin air. And he
bowed his head down to her soft lips to caress them . A sweet
sigh escaped her. But then she drew away from him and stood
up. She put her finger to her lips as she could not quite believe
what had just happened. Then she turned quickly and hurried out
the door. Ian remained. Had he acted too hastily? He got up again
and decided to seek her to apologize to her. Gabriel was still
leaning against the tree and looked at the reflection of the moon
dancing on the restless water. He thought about his wicked sister.
Even for one so ruthless vampire love should be the most sacred
commodity on earth. No, no one should play with love, not even
for the ever so delicious taste of blood, the only something they
had remained out of life. A gust of wind caused the leaves on the
trees rustle. Gabriel breathed in the clear night air as he suddenly
noticed an incredibly sweet scent in the air. He looked where this
scent was comming from and then he saw him. This mortal man
Anna had brought into their castle. He looked about searchingly.
His hair was slightly shorter than shoulder length and brown. He
was slim, but his body was reflected again in spite of all the result
of long hard work. The sweet scent of his blood was surounding
him. He had noticed him and came up to him. Gabriel tried to
ignore him, but it did not seem to bother him, he just came closer,
until he finally stood beside him. The smell was now so intense
that it almost robbed Gabriel of his other senses. But it probably
just seemed to him so strong because he had not been drinking
blood for at least two weeks by now and his body longed for it.
'You are Gabriel, aren't you?' Gabriel was back to reality. 'I am.
And you should better disappear, you have no business here, that
is not a good place for you!', he said in an indifferent tone of
voice. Then he looked at him. His eyes were dark blue, like the
deep sea inviting you to sink in it. But he seemed not to
understand what Gabriel meant to say. 'Have you seen your sister
here somewhere?', he just asked. 'Don't you got what I just said?',
Gabriel said angrily and grabbed him by the shoulders. But this
had been a mistake. He pulled his hands back quickly and turned,
overwhelmed by his sudden feelings to hastily. 'I have not seen
her! And now disappear!', he said. 'Is something wrong with you?',
asked the man, 'I said you should disappear! Leave me alone!'
Gabriel began to shiver. At last the man turned around and went
back. Gabriel looked back and watched him a moment before he
disappeared into the mists of the night. But his' sweet smell still
remained a few seconds longer hang in the cool night air and
Gabriel inhaled the delishious smell deep. He still stared at the
spot where the man was gone. What had just happened to him?
Ian ran to the small lake, there still was this man. Something told
him that he absolutely had to go to him. He called his name, but
he did not seem to hear. Ian had almost reached the sea, when
suddenly someone grabbed him by the hand and withdrew. Anna
was standing behind him. And suddenly shot its head forward,
and her teeth dug into his flesh. Ian screamed full pain. Awakened
by his own scream Ian almost fell out of bed. But two hands kept
him from falling. 'My goodness, Ian!' He looked to the side and
looked directly in Annas wide-opened eyes. 'This indeed must
have been an incredibly horrible nightmare!', she said and sat
down beside him in bed. Ian breathed rushed in and out, his heart
still raced. When he had finally calmed down and realized that it
was only a dream, he took Annas hand. 'You always seem to
watch over my sleep.' He said, not knowing whether he felt this
was a good or a bad thing. Then it suddenly growled loudly. Anna
laughed. 'Well, no wonder that you are afflicted with nightmares.',
she said amused. 'You're hungry!' Ian sat on the mighty table in
the dining room. Was there in this castle for nothing in a normal
size? Obviously not. Even the food brought to him shortly after by
Anna was a real feast, so much that he certainly could have it five
times a full meal! He resorted to grateful and filled up the empty
stomach. Anna just sat by and watched him. 'Don't you want to
eat as well?', Ian asked her. She opened her mouth for a moment,
as if she wanted to say something, but then closed it again and
slightly shook his head. She looked at him with a slightly pained
smile. 'I think I should not eat here ...!', she finally said quietly. Ian
had to think a moment about the meaning of her words, until it
occurred to him suddenly and painfully again. He passed the fork
on the edge of the plate and swallowed the last bite down
painfully. He suddenly became ill. 'Is something wrong with you?',
asked Anna worried and touched him shy on his shoulder, but Ian
jumped up. 'I need some fresh air! I think I ate too much!' With
these words he hurried out of the dining room and let Anna back
alone. He hurried down the aisle in search of the next balcony to
grab some fresh air. Then he suddenly hit with someone.
'E-excuse me.', Ian stammered and looked up, as Anna's brother
stood before him. His expression was at first as surprised as
Ian's, but immediately gave way to anger. His green eyes flashed.
He pushed Ian to the wall and held him there. 'Didn't I told you
that you shall disappear?' Ian squinted in anticipation of another
outbreak, but it never came. Gabriel's grip in the material of Ian's
shirt dissolved. One moment his fingers glided over and then he
removed them again. Carefully, Ian opened his eyes. He was still
standing infront of him and stared him with a thoughtful and
confused expression on his chest. Ian's heart was racing. Then
suddenly Gabriel saw in his eyes, but his thoughts seemed to be
still somewhere else. His face seemed carved out of ivory, pale
and smooth. He had opened his lips slightly, breathing heavily as
if his thoughts were pretty hard to handle. Suddenly he pulled his
look away from Ians eyes and looked away. 'You should not stay
with my sister', he said and just went away. Ian, with his back still
pressed against the wall, looked after him. Something wrong with
this man, he acted very strange. But Ian was quite confused. And
so he stayed a few more minutes before he went to his real
target: the balcony. The cool night air took all his confused
thoughts away. He breathed in and out deeply grateful. Then he
leaned on the balcony railing and looked down. In the darkness
he saw some figures, the other vampires which Anna had told him
about. Until now he had not seen any of them. A hand was laid on
his shoulder. Ian was terrified, and drove around. Anna looked at
him anxiously. 'Sorry if I scared you.', she said shyly. 'Is all right.',
he said in short supply. Anna looked up from below. 'Do you hate
me now?' She seemed near tears. 'No.', said Ian now warmly and
held her in his arms. She sank with a sigh eased into his
embrace. After a while Ian broke the hug and looked up at the
stars. 'The night is beautiful', he said dreamily. 'It sure is.', said
Anna, looking up as well. Then he remembered the encounter a
short time ago. 'Your brother behaves very strange.', he said.
Anna sucked in her breath sharply. 'Did you talk to him about
me?', she asked somewhat brash. Ian looked at her again, she
seemed not at all enthusiastic about it. Then she turned her gaze
back to the distance. 'You'd better go out of his way. Gabriel is not
happy about the fact that I'm with a mortal! He certainly has
mentioned such a thing, didn't he?' Ian nodded, lost in thoughts.
'It is certainly not the best thing ...', he said quietly. Anna threw her
arms around his body. 'Don't say that!' Gabriel was sitting on a
chair before a large mirror and stared at his not existing reflection.
Suddenly the door opened the cracking noise tore him from his
thoughts. He saw Anna come furiously rage stormed at him.
Angrily, she showed her teeth. 'Why are you interfering in my
affairs you dirty bastard!' She grabbed him with tremendous force
on the collar and pulled him from the chair into the air. He said
nothing and looked not once at her. She shook him roughly.
'Listen to me kindly!', he turned his face, but still said nothing.
Anna seemed somewhat confused. Suddenly she released him
and stepped back. She looked at him in disbelief and shook her
head. 'Oh no. I know what's going on! You better banish those
thought out of your head!' And she gestured wildly with her hands
in the air. 'Forget it!', she screamed at him. 'Do not even think
about it!' She breathed in and out stunned. Then she grabbed him
by the collar and shook him again. 'I warn you not once you
interfere in any way again! Do you understand me!?' He still kept
quiet. With a furious outcry she pushed him away. Still furious she
rushed out of the room and struck with a mighty crash the door
shut. 'Don't you dare!', she screamed in the corridor again. Then
her steps withdrew from the door. Gabriel grabbed the screaming
young woman by the arm and pulled her to him. She struggled
frantically, trying to escape his iron grip. He dug his teeth into her
neck and began to suck her blood from her trembling body.
Gabriel swallowed, but it seemed to taste bitter. He did not want
her blood. He stoped and turned the young woman that she had
to look at him. The last drop of her blood he spat out and wiped
his hand across his lips. He saw into the girls fear-filled eyes. 'You
should not walk around at night alone.' With these words he
pushed her away and looked after her as she ran away. What was
the matter with him? Gabriel was completely dissatisfied, however
nothing seemed to help. He had not been drinking for more than
two weeks by now and he did not want to. Although he was nearly
mad with thirst, he was not satisfied when he drank. Completely
absorbed in thought, his feet carried him back to the castle. Ian
just came out of the bathroom, his hair was still wet and he had
tied it back in the neck. Anna had asked him to come to her after
the bath, she wanted to tell him anything obviously. And so he
went through the corridors in the direction of their apartments. As
he rounded the corner he cought someone in the eye. There was
a man, he leaned panting against the wall. The silver-blonde hair
was long and loose and fell wildly over his shoulders. Ian went
closer and saw that it was Gabriel. What was the matter with him?
Ian was worried so he went up to him. When Gabriel arrived, he
laid his hand gently on the shoulder. 'Is there something wrong
with you?' Gabriel suddenly grabbed Ian's wrist, pulled him
around and pressed him against the cold wall. He pressed both
wrists hard against the stone. 'Gabriel!', called Ian out a little
frightened. But he just saw to the ground and was breathing
heavily. The long hair hung down. Both were silent. Only Gabriels
heavy breathing could be heard. His body shivered with each
breath. His grip on Ian's wrists grew stronger and stronger, until it
was almost impossible for Ian to bear. 'Gabriel, I-' Suddenly
Gabriel looked up. Ian was shocked when he saw his eyes. They
were blood red! His mouth was slightly open, so Ian could see his
long canines. 'Ian.', he pushed out from between his clenched
teeth still breathing hard . Then he came closer to him. He laid his
head on one side and led his lips so close to Ian's neck that it
almost touched him. A strange feeling transit Ian's body, he began
to tremble and his heart was pumping his blood through his veins
like crazy. Gabriel inhaled his smell. What was happening to
himself? Ian could not move, he was rigid. Because of fear? As
Gabriel opened his mouth, his head bent a little further. With the
tip of the tongue he licked the skin. Ian's whole body trembled.
When the tips of his sharp teeth touched his skin Ian finally found
control of his body again. He tried to free himself from the grip,
but he was adamant. 'No.', he whispered softly, squinting his
eyes. He could do nothing. Suddenly Gabriel stopped. Ian felt his
breath on the skin Then he loosened his grip and pulled back
from Ian's neck. He looked into his eyes. The red was gone from
his eyes and they shone again in emerald green. 'Forgive me.', he
said, and let Ian's wrists finaly go. For a moment they stood still
and looked just at each other. Then Gabriel looked away and
disappeared. Ian stood and rubbed his wrists. Had that really just
been happening? His thoughts were confused and he could not
collect them. Completely confused he just stood there and stared
at the spot where Gabriel had disappeared into the darkness.
'Ian?' A voice echoed through the corridor. Whose voice was that?
'Ian?', it echoed again. He turned and saw a woman coming up.
The black curls bounced with each step up and down. She had
the same eyes like he had. 'Ian, there is something wrong?', she
asked. Suddenly everything came back and he touched his head.
He was still dazed a bit. 'I was worried because you have been
taken so long. Are you feeling bad?' Ian shook his head slightly. 'I
think I bathed only a little too hot, sorry.', he said with a gentle
smile, laid his arm around Anna and they walked together to their
apartments. 'You should lie down a bit.', Anna said to him, but Ian
was not in the mood. He began feeling better and he had decided
not to think about what had happened again. So he sat on the
edge of the bed and saw Anna in the eyes. She smiled warmly
again. 'You always smile,don't you?' She just smiled even more
and laid her head on his lap. Ian she gently stroked her tresses
from her face. He wanted to see her beautiful eyes. Anna enjoyed
it for a moment, then she began to speak: 'My father gives a ball
tomorrow.' She took his hand and stroked it gently. 'Everyone will
come. Will you with me?' She looked into his eyes. 'Everyone will
come?' Ian said softly. 'Yes.', Anna said, frowning slightly. Ian did
not know why he had asked that. 'Of course I'll go with you!' He
took her hand and kissed it gently. 'You will come!' The door was
slammed infront of Gabriels nose. He had no choice. He had
asked his father not to have to come to the ball, but there was no
point. Gabriel didn't want to see Anna ending her disgusting
game. If he already could not stop her, he really didn't want to
watch it. But his father was adamant that the ball was tradition.
Gabriel went to his room and began to dress himself. For him,
there seemed to be no happy ball with dancing and singing to be,
it seemed more like a cruel execution. What was the matter with
him, normaly he was not like this. Gabriel recalled the last night,
when he had met Ian. How had this been happening? Normally
he could resist his blood-thirst. But when Ian had been comming
he had suddenly lost control. Did he really just wanted his blood?
There was a knock on the door. 'Gabriel, your father sent me to
bring you to the ball.' A voice came in from the outside. What?
Was it so late? How long he had been sitting there and had been
thinking? 'I'm coming!' He got up and walked to the door. There
was anyway no point to think about all the thoughts. This man
was almost dead anyway. Ian looked around. The ballroom was
huge and beautiful. Everywhere people were standing in the most
beautiful gowns. And there were children, but they where not
running around laughing and playing , they were with the others,
talking lively. A strange image when children were treated like
adults, but they were of course no children for long anymore, they
were only caught forever in a child's body. A shudder came over
Ian. He did not really feel comfortable in his skin, He could clearly
feel the vampires watching him from the side clearly. 'Is
something wrong, Ian?', asked Anna next to him. Ian swallowed
hard. 'I'm not welcome here.', he said quietly. 'Oh.', said Anna and
took him by the arm. 'I think you're imagining things.' Perhaps she
was right.. She moved on. Ians eyes wandered around searching.
What was he looking for? Even though he knew the answer he
did not dare to admit it. As Gabriel walked into the hall, he had his
hair tied back in the neck with a band together again. On the
upper body, he wore fine fabrics in several shades of gray, plus a
leather pants and boots. All flattered his body so much. Ian could
not take his gaze away from this charming man. In a strange way
he put him on. What was it? Ian behaved in his presence always
so strange. Then Gabriel looked in his direction for a moment
their eyes were sticking together, but then he turned away and
disappeared into the crowd. Gabriel leaned against the wall. He
could watch Ian through the crowd. When their eyes had met for a
moment a strange feeling had let his body tremble. But now while
he was watching him talking with Anna, as they laughed and his
sister embraced him, another feeling took possession of his body.
Was it jealousy? No, it could not be. He was sure just mad
because his sister was playing with this person. And yet, why it
bothered him at all what they did? The music began to play, Ian
was thrilled. It was music he had never heard before, but it pulled
him into its spell. He watched the dancing vampires. It was an
incredible sight! They moved so gracefully, and yet supple
rhythmic. It was a dance he had never seen him before. 'You
should be lucky, Ian.', said Anna and with talking to him she tore
him out of his trance like state. 'Not many people can experience
something like that.' She looked at him, smiling. 'Are you happy?'
'Of course I am, it's breathtaking!' Ian turned his gaze back to the
action on the dance floor. Anna took him by the arm and turned
him back again. 'Are you happy with me, Ian?' Strange way, Ian
was suddenly no longer feeling good. Like he was driven in a
corner. 'I-I think so.', he gave as an answer. Anna smiled happily
and his doubts disappeared. She wrapped her arms around his
neck and leaned against him. 'I want to be together forever with
you, Ian! I can not think of anything else.' She stood back up
straight and looked him in the eyes. 'This is my biggest wish.' She
stood on tiptoe and kissed him. Again a strange feeling came into
him. The kiss was beautiful, her lips were soft and tender, but it
really did not satisfy him. It was not what he really wanted. She
left again on his lips. Ian felt that he was being watched, he could
feel the eyes watching him from behind. Anna looked at him, she
looked at him with her beautiful, emerald green eyes. 'I love you,
Ian!', she said softly. But out of her mouth it sounded somehow
wrong. She raised her hand and stroked him gently on the cheek,
but Ian could feel her fingernails. Something was not right. 'You
do love me too, don't you Ian?' Something had changed in her
eyes. 'I-uh.', Ian gasped for air. He felt uncomfortable. The looks
from behind seemed to be getting more and more. Did he love
her? A few days ago he would have said yes without hesitation,
but now? There was something inside him that he tried to stop
him from saying it. Something gnawed at him. And suddenly it
was clear to him. 'No, Anna. I do not love you!' Ian was incredibly
relieved. 'You- what?' Anna's voice was shrill. Her face was
disfigured from fury. Ian took a step back. What was going on
here? She showed her teeth and the green of her eyes vanished
and a menacing red replaced it. Just now Ian noticed that the
music had stopped playing. He wanted to run away, but he could
not move his body nor take his eyes from her furious eyes. She
grabbed him by the neck. 'What I've done all the work for you little
piece of shit?' She dug her fingernails into his flesh. Ian could not
do anything, he could not even scream out his pain. 'I will tear you
into pieces! You're not worth it that I drink your dirty blood!' Ians
heart raced with fear, he could do nothing. He was condemned to
death, he had been from the beginning! Then suddenly someone
grabbed him by the arm and pulled him away. Once the eye
contact was broken off Ian gained his body control again. Anna
screamed with hatred, and her long canine teeth were bared
completely terrifying. 'Gabriel! I'll kill you you damn bastard!', she
screamed hysterically and was about to run after, when her own
father grabbed her by the shoulder and held her back. Ian looked
forward. It was Gabriel who had actually saved him. He ran
quickly and pulled Ian with him, out of the ballroom, out of the
castle, and far into the forest. After an feeled eternity to Ian he
stopped at last. He did not look at him. 'Gabriel.', Ian said, still out
of breath. 'Why?' Gabriel, who was still clutching Ians wrist turned
and pushed him against a tree. Ian snorted a bit amused. For
some reason it always ended in this position. 'Listen.', began
Gabriel and looked down. His hands trembled. 'It might sound
strange, but I can not change it.' Ian's heart was beating faster
than it already was doing from the effort. 'I could not allow her
doing something to you because- because I-' He took a deep
breath. 'I want to know more about you, I want to know you, Ian. I
think I've fallen in love with you.' A small smile played around Ians
lips. 'I-' he began, but Gabriel interrupted him. 'You don't have to
say anything, if you want you can go.' However, contradictory to
his words, he still held Ian. 'I do not want to go. It's the same thing
to me! 'Gabriel looked up. His stunning eyes glistened. 'Really?'
He asked incredulously. Ian freed himself from Gabriels grip and
put his hand on his chin. He went to him and kissed him. Yes,
now it was right. That was what he had been waiting for the whole
time. Gabriel put his arms around him and pulled him to the
ground. He leaned over him. Then he let go of his lips and licked
passionately the blood from his neck. Ian moaned softly. He had
taken a decision. 'I want to stay with you for all eternity, Gabriel.'
