[@Ojo chan 42] Vladimir ended up looking upwards at Sasha as she sat up. He nodded. he tilted his head as she spoke and felt himself working on getting past the pain. As she kissed him he kissed her back until she pulled away. He inhaled as she spoke more and nodded again. Deep down he knew she was right. He could also tell she was being careful with her words to him...he appreciated that. Her last part made him smile and sit up. He lightly took the small painting and put it back in the drawer. He then lightly pulled Sasha to him and wrapped his arms around her. [color=lightblue]"I love you too"[/color] he kissed her neck and then nuzzled it somewhat. [color=lightblue]"For the record...you are most certainly not a common woman. No common woman would help a vampire let alone a hybrid in bloodlust"[/color] he kissed her shoulder. [color=lightblue]"And I care for you deeply"[/color] he then gently turned her head and kissed her. He pulled back somewhat and chuckled. [color=lightblue]"I have almost forgotten....you deserve to know my last name."[/color] he shook his head. [color=lightblue]"I have not said it in so long....My full name is Vladimir Van Helsing"[/color] a name that struck fear into many a vampire and werewolf.
