Genevieve --- I sigh and shake my head, "How are you going to live with it, Jack? All my presence ever does is torture you." I gulp and turn around. My hand runs through my hair nervously. What am I to do? What can I honestly say to him that will not reveal the feelings for him that I've tried so very hard to conceal. I'm a vampire, it is as simple as that. Maybe if I told him that particular secret he would be scared off. No. Gah. This is exactly why I have never let myself get close to anyone! Ever since Erik...before I was turned into a vampire, I have not allowed myself to look so deeply into another's eyes and fall in love. I turn once more and look into the eyes of Jack. They strangely remind me of Erik's just before he was killed. He had looked so wounded as my maker tore his heart out and threw it to the ground. This memory pains me and I have to close my eyes. I open them and immediately look down at the ground, "I can't be anymore than just friends with you, Jack. Its just the way things have to be. Please understand." I practically whisper this to him. I don't want to see the pain in Jack's eyes anymore. To many memories. Maybe it is time to move on from this life I had made for myself. Its almost been long enough...I'm not fooling anyone, not even myself. --- Andy --- I couldn't help it, even in the face of impending sadness, a wide grin spread across my face. "Oh thank god." I say as I wrap her up into my arms. I stay this way and just hold her for a few minutes until she starts to squirm. "i'm so sorry." I say as I stare into her eyes, "I've done something really really bad and I only hope that one day you will forgive me for this. Do you feel the change?" I ask her. Maybe my blood only healed her, but did not turn her into a vampire. The paleness of her face tells me otherwise and I gulp. "I...I turned you into a vampire Katy. I'm so sorry." It all comes out like a jumbled up mess. I say it so fast I'm unsure that she even understood what had just came out of my mouth. I gulp. At least I am no longer tormented by the smell of her human blood when I am this close to her.
