Chapter 24

I snuck back into Saryia's room to get some clothes. I had no more reasons to stay here, and I wasn't dragging Odin back into this. I won't allow him to get hurt because of me. So many thoughts raced through my head, most of them about Jamie. Saryia came into my mind, I didn't want to leave her, but I wasn't going to stay so Mercy can rub this in my face.

I stuffed my clothes in a duffle bag. I looked into the mirror and started to cry. I didn't want to go, I had to go. What will Saryia think? She will be so upset, she can get over me. I just hope she doesn't hurt Odin. The door groaned then closed.

"And where do you think your going?" Saryia's voice made me shiver. I kept my back turned to her.

"I can't stay here anymore. I need to leave." It was silent for a few minutes. Saryia started walking towards me.

"Your just going to leave me?" She said in a somber tone. I clutched my collar slowly turning to face her. Tears fell down her angelic face. This was the second time I have ever seen her cry. I didn't think it was possible for my heart to shatter anymore than it already was. I tried to say something, but when I opened my mouth no words came out. A river of tears went down Saryia's face.

"You can't leave me. I won't let you!" She buried her hands in her face, her shoulders shaking. I couldn't take this. I took her face out of her hands. The pain in her light blue eyes seemed to radiate into my dark brown eyes. Her hands reached out to dry the tears that ran down my face.

"Please don't break my heart this way." Saryia sobbed into my shoulder, I sobbed with her. I hugged her tight. I didn't want to leave her, I love her. If I had no other reasons to stay, she was the only person that could keep me here. Her lips touched my cheek and I held her tighter. I made my decision. I may not have Jamie any more, but I still have Saryia. She really loved me, and I will be with her for the rest of my life.

"Okay, okay, I'll stay." Saryia raised her eyes to mine. I cried and rested my head on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Saryia. It just hurts so much." Her hand stroked my hair pulling me close to her chest. The steady beat of her heart made me calm down a little. My legs gave way and I almost fell. Saryia caught me holding me tight in her arms.

"I will never hurt you Hatspehut. I love you." I nodded weakly clinging on to her. I leaned forward kissing her beautiful lips. It didn't take long for the kiss to deepen. Her strong arms wrapped around me so tight she almost squeezed the life out of me. We caught eachother's gaze. I felt a new presence in Saryia, as if she has been renewed. It felt like something deep in her that has been broken and twisted for so long has been repaired.

Saryia started pulling off my shirt. I shook my head and she put her finger over my lips before I could say something.

"There are certain times for pleasure and times that it is not necessary. It is not necessary at the moment. Let me show you another way I know how to relax." She gently pulled off my shirt and hers. Saryia removed my pants and hers, then picked me up taking me to the bed. My head rest on her bare chest as we made our way across the room to the bed. She laid me down then got in with me.

She rested my head on her chest over her heart. Saryia arms wrapped around me as she hummed a song. It was the one that Jamie sang for me.

"Sing me that song. In English please." Saryia smiled and kissed my head. She started to hum the beginning, then the most heavenly sound came out of her mouth. Her voice was the matched her angel like features.

"Baby mine don't you cry, baby mine dry your eyes. Rest your head close to my heart never to part baby of mine." She swayed me to the soothing beat. My muscles relaxed into her warm body. The warmth coming form her body was so relaxing, I felt better as she sung the next verses.

"Little one when you play. Don't you mind what they say. Let those eyes sparkle and shine never a tear baby of mine. If they use sweet little you, may they end up loving you to. All the same people who scold you, boy what would they give just for the right to harm you." My eyelids became heavy as she went on. I stared into her eyes. So much kindness and compassion shined in her eyes. I realized in that split second how much I really loved her. She is the one my heart yearns for, the one I have been waiting for. Saryia is the love of my life. Saryia stroked my cheek then sung the last verse.

"From your head down to your toes. Your not much goodness knows. But your soul is precious to me, cute as can be... sweet love of mine." Her lips lightly touched mine before I lost consciousness. I fell asleep in her loving arms. I couldn't be told in the beginning that I would fall in love with my father's killer, that I would fall in love with a vampire. I would have laughed in your face and called you an idiot. Now that I look back I don't regret any of it.

****

I woke up the next morning and Saryia wasn't next to me. I was still naked. I heard the bathroom door open and there she was. A towel covering her body. Saryia gracefully walked over to me. She let go of her towel letting it fall to the floor. Saryia's body glistened in the sun light. I smiled and let her embrace me.

"Good morning my love. Did you sleep well?" Her lips met mine in a passionate kiss. She got on top of me straddling my lap, our faces inches apart.

"I slept fine as I could." She sighed and got off my lap sitting next to me. I put my head on her shoulder. The tag on my collar hit her chest. She looked at it then sighed. Her hands gently put me in her lap. She twirled the tag in her fingers.

"You know the reason for the collar by now?" She looked in my eyes. I slowly nodded, even though I wasn't really sure why she put this stupid collar on me. She sighed and unfasten the collar putting it in my hands.

"I forced you to wear it in an attempt to break you down. I tried to humiliate you through this collar. I don't want you to feel like a pet or a slave. I want you and your brother to be free here. You decide what you want to do next, and I will agree with it fully." I looked down at the glittery collar. I griped it tight.

"Someone very close to me once told me that love sets us all free. I am free, as long as I have your love Saryia. I will stay here, no longer a pet or slave, but as yours for the rest of my immortality." Her eyes lit up in excitement. I looked over at the fireplace. I smirked and threw the collar in the flames. We watched as the collar was engulfed by the red flames. I turned to Saryia stroking her cheek with my thumb.

"Saryia, I love you." Her eyes lit up even more. The sun could not out shine the light in her eyes now. Her lips crushed into mine as she quickly got between my legs. I couldn't control myself any more. The love that I was feeling for her flowed into every part of my body telling me to show her my devotion and love. She trailed kisses up my neck. Saryia stopped and looked into my eyes again.

"I love you too Hatspehut." Her kiss was the most amazing one that we ever shared. The sparks flew into the air. Our bodies merged into one. This kiss for once had nothing to do with lust, it was only pure love. Real love. Her lips parted from me, staring deep into my eyes. My hand stroked her face. She kissed my hand, then laid down on me.

"Saryia, I never answered your question." Saryia chuckled and kissed my chest.

"What question was that my love?" I kissed her forehead.

"I never said that would be yours." She chuckled and kissed my breast.

"You just said it earlier." Saryia moved her hand to my breast. I panted as she groped them. My hands went around her neck pulling her closer.

"Oh yeah I did." We both giggled as she rolled over taking me with her. When she stopped I was on top of her straddling her. Saryia sat up moving my hips over hers. My eyes slightly rolled back. The everlasting flame of desire burned inside of me. I kissed her full lips biting her lower lip asking permission for my tongue to enter. Saryia allowed it then we were caught in a tongue war.

Someone knocked on the door. Saryia sighed caressing my back.

"Who is it?" She said in an annoyed tone. I smirked then started kissing her neck.

"My lady, breakfast is ready." Exous said through the door. Saryia looked at me then pecked my lips.

"Bring my breakfast and my love's up here to us!" She yelled back. Exous briskly walked away she sighed and looked back into my eyes.

"I imagine that you don't want to see Jamie or Mercy right now, so is it okay that we eat in here?" I nodded then got off her. I put on some clothes then sat in front of the tv. She plopped down next to me rubbing my thigh. I smacked her hand away then kissed it.

"Don't you get started Saryia. It's a miracle we got out the bed the first time." She chuckled putting her lips to my ear.

"What about after breakfast? We can do whatever you like. We can go to the bed or the garden or the bed or the lake or the bed." She kissed my earlobe sending chills through my body. I squirmed away, yet she pulled me back.

"How bout we eat first then we talk about that... The bed is looking pretty good though." Saryia smirked and started to nuzzle my neck, trailing kiss after kiss up and down it. I inhaled loudly as I let her lips wonder down to my chest. Another knock made her stop. We sat up and acted natural.

The door opened and the maids came in with our breakfast. Saryia waved her hand to shoo them out of the room. My stomach started growling when I saw the bacon. Saryia raised her eyebrow. I blushed laying my head on her shoulder. I started eating and Saryia turned to the history channel. She ate while she watched the last few minutes of battles b.c.

"You like history?" I said with my mouth full. She smirked drinking the blood in the glass.

"I was alive for some of it, so yes I do adore history. I find it useful, if you lean from the ancient one's mistakes then you can improve the future. Humans were too late to this truth." I tilted my head.

"The humans were like the once great Roman Empire, strong and incapable of over throwing. Then politicians and other twisted leaders corrupted and weakened them, leaving them open for attack. Besides the leaders, illnesses, famine, and war broke out, giving us an opportunity to take over. If they just understood that their history was repeating itself, then this may have never happened." Saryia was right, the humans were not paying attention to history, so it repeated itself. I cuddled up with her then kissed her cheek.

"I'm glad they didn't remember their history, none of this would have ever happened. We wouldn't have happened." She smiled then kissed my forehead. I ate everything on my plate then called the maids to clean it up. After they left Saryia wrapped her arms around my waist.

"So where did you want to go today?" She whispered in my ear. I rubbed her arms thinking about it for a second.

"Let's go to bed." Saryia turned me around and picked me up wrapping my legs around her waist. Her soft lips touched mine again sending electricity through my body.

"What ever you say my lady." She whispers in my ear. We go to the bed passionately making love for the rest of the day.
