THAT ONE WORD CHANGED EVERYTHING. Jack never knew it was possible for one word to hold so much power, until his Vampire uttered the single word. 258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYQk97s93b
Remember.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9JU9U0Qcb
Almost at once, his life came crashing back down on him, shattering the equilibrium he had spent so long in.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNC46YaezR
It was like flashes of different colours; different memories in his mind.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWY6IjytMM
He had another world; another life, in a land below the Vampire's castle. He had a mother... Someone that loved him more than anything. And a father, who had died.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkXnCm5vtz
A father, who had died when searching for the Vampire.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt3dBU9ilh
"My..."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVQMQzOzmK
"Jackson, I killed him," the Vampire whispered. "I killed your father."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtvERH5DmI
Jack braced himself. He waited for an emotion to seep into him. Anger, pain, grief - anything... But nothing came.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tiLAcStVD
It didn't change anything.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g3ywN9677
The Vampire's confession changed nothing. Jack still felt the same way about him. He still...copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JZw14MFeD
He loved him.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡovep0ISNwl
Tears coursed down his cheeks, as he gazed up at the Vampire. Never in his life, had Jack believed that he would fall in love.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUTnnwlLit
"I killed him, Jackson..." he repeated. "Now, tell me... I'm a Beast, aren't I?"copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA2NwRDfsQ
Jack didn't answer. He didn't want to. If he did, he could have easily revealed how he felt.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJiQYhSYSb
And that was wrong.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡMziWbWfrm1
"How long has it been?" He asked. "How long have I been in your castle?" The Vampire avoided his gaze.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58hfUtIroq
"Three months."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPka4fE6Eo
"I have to go..." His mother. His mother was all alone and most likely suffering. "I ought to return."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnYI2LTS3v
"I know, Jackson," the Vampire murmured. "But I don't believe that I can live without you, anymore." He was silent for a minute.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4oPxAIn41
"You will be killed without mercy."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L6dAowoFE
"Then let it be, for that is what I deserve... I am a Beast, after all."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDgYjv9SfI
"You are not a-" Jack began.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1gEauQyOC
"Besides, I would rather decease by your side, than spend an isolated eternity in this castle."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡqte7KPAio2
He placed the wooden stake in Jack's hand and fought a smile onto his face. But the Vampire didn't decieve Jack. He could see the grimace that he so obviously tried to hide.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ8zCwq7b8
So, his father had been right. The wooden stake was a weapon... It was something to be used against the Vampire.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡU43LARUUk0
And the holy water... Jack quickly glanced at the scorch marks on the Vampire's palm.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQqwVqW98g
The holy water was like acid.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAi8sM8ZRo
The stake - the wood and holy water - was definitely a weapon that could kill his Vampire.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvHdo0Lh3X
"When I die, this castle and estate is yours. I know your life was not easy before. You were tortured with poverty and loss..."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W5D3viTM0
When... Not if.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdT9ZrebLI
How did he do it? How did the Vampire had readily accepted his dark and undoubtedly painful fate without any hesitance?copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uYNWDdPYU
"I cannot possibly accept that."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsSbVAGcHr
"It's the least I could do," the Vampire said. "For, I love you."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN0HDFDwyl
I love you...copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp26qfcHnK
Jack tightened his grip around the wooden stake and gazed up at his lover, tears streaming down his face.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡGImoyuja75
"I know you do," he whispered. "And although you wish to follow me to your death, I cannot accept it. I don't believe that I would be able to watch the town people torture you to death."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKM2OEyoU8
"I..." he trailed off to silence.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJti1MIeDw
"I ought to do what must be done... You understand that, don't you?"copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA2S19blem
"I shall gladly oblige to whatever you wish for, Jackson."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO1HspUyQW
Jack leant forward, letting their breath mingle together. For almost an entire minute, he and the Vampire were both still, staring at one another in complete silence. The blonde-haired boy closed his eyes gently and felt the tears trickle down his cheek.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWi8zpsl9t
Just when it seemed that the stillness would be broken, he tenderly pressed his lips against the his.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD4TFOQ3ge
"Jackson..."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5WgjzuglX
Jack pulled away from him and softly brushed away the loose strand of bronze hair from the Vampire's forehead.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkvF6QnTgL
"I'm sorry but I can't watch you suffer."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mYgToV2bx
And without any further warning, the boy lifted the wooden stake and plunged it into his lover's chest.copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXHFwaA7oZ
"For... I, too, love you."copyright protection254ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXnv4W7k5d
