Vampres Will Never Hurt You- Part sixteen

Life was better than it had ever been! Soon I would have a kid, that Rogue was out of the way, and Bandit had no idea what happened to him!

I hated to even look at him, he killed Rogue! I didn't think Mikey could, or would do something like that! I spent a lot of time in the library maybe I could find something there to help me bring Rogue back.

She spent more and more time away from me...But I blamed that on hormones or the fact her stomach was well....large.

I sat in the middle of the empty library....Nothing, I found nothing to help me but that didn't stop me from going back day after day. As the days went by my stomach grew. I guess I would give birth to my boy or girl soon....That meant less time to find a way to keep them away from Mikey...

Wow was my 'fiancé' growing by the day! I noticed what she was reading up on..About death and ways back from it...Impossible. "You avoid Mikey. Yet your carrying his child..If I didn't know better you disliked him."

I didn't even bother to look up at him. "Look James I'm not in the mood. What do you want?" I hated him...He tricked me into poisoning Rogue! I didn't even want to see his face.

"What I have always wanted. Your child, so I can be gone from this place. And I know that you want Mikey gone. I can arrange this."

I shut my book after a second... "How? Last time I trusted you, you screwed me over."

"It's quite simple really. Dismember his head and leave him in the sunlight."

I thought about it for a second, if he was telling the truth then it be easier to keep my child safe but he would have it..."Why do you want to help me, If your even going to do it...Last time we had a meeting like this you tricked me in to poisoning my fiancé."

"A fiancé you cheated on. It's not like he meant that much to you, I was doing you a favour. You know why I want to help you. I need to pass a kid from you off to your father."

"It was a stupid mistake cheating on him...Look, just do what you can about Mikey then I'll give you my child." That was a lie, if I could help it he would never get my baby.

I stepped forward, caressing her cheek. "Good. You should know, if you go back on your word, I have ways of making those you love suffer." I put my hand on her second for a second and then started to leave for Mikey. "I give it....10 seconds before you scream in pain." And then left.

What the hell did he mean by tha-That's what he meant... I screamed. My water broke, I was giving birth! I didn't know what to do, I was all alone and no one came to help me I really was all alone now. I gave birth to a baby girl that I named Rain...But that wasn't all I had TWINS! A girl and a boy. I named my baby boy named Ember. They were Rogue's kids they both reminded me of him already!

It was easy to think Mikey. He thought he was so high up here. "You think you can kill one of fathers favorite sons kids and no one would notice? Pathetic." He didn't have time to respond as I put a stake through his heart, and twisted his head. Then using my blade cut it clean off. Now I would have to clean my blade. Such a pain.

I wrapped my children in my jacket it was better than nothing. I would have to be fast and do this right. I ran in to the room where all the pills were but I was looking for one special bottle, blood thinner. I grabbed it and my knife then ran out the door. I hopped that James couldn't tell I was gone and so were my kids. I went home and left them on the door step, they'd be taken care of here. I went to the old tree where me and Rogue use to meet up at. I stared down the blood thinner and the knife....I wanted to be with Rogue again.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Remember the pain you felt as a child of not knowing your parents...If you do this, they can never know of either of us..." I had always watched over her...As much as I missed and loved her...I never wanted her to end her life for me.

"I know...They at least have a picture of us and I know our parents will tell them we loved them...But I want to be with you Rogue." I took all the blood thinners easily. I was crying by now, I just felt like there was nothing left to do I wanted to, no had to let Rogue know how much he meant to me. I cut my wrist and the blood started to flow. It was done. I laid down looking at the perfect blue sky. Just like when we first meet each other.

It broke my heart to see her slowly dying, I had never wanted this...Knowing I caused her death. I lay beside, her, and as her life slowly faded, I was able to touch her again; I wiped away her tears, trying to let her know it would be ok. "We'll always be together Bandit. I promise."

"I know we will be....Rogue?" I said slowly. I could tell my time was coming. "Remember when we first meet? It was right here and right here is where it will all end for us..." I reached into my pocket. It was the small music box we found. I placed it next to us. I stopped crying, I wasn't scared to die now. My eyes fell just as I blew a kiss to the sky. I was finally gone...

I remembered that day well. I reached over, and amazingly could now open the box...The most beautiful melody came out, I held her tightly until I felt her life completely slip away...I prayed she would come back as I had...I stayed there, tears in my eyes, until she did.

I could see him holding my body..It was sweet. I tapped his shoulder and as he looked at me I could see his eyes brighten and smiled. "Rogue, we can be together forever now.." I kissed him, oh how I missed kissing him. "It was always you..." I whispered in his ear.

It felt so good to have her in my arms once more. I kissed her cheek and held her close to me. "I just wished I realized that sooner.." We kissed a bit more, before going to our home, making sure our kids were safe, and then a curtain of light appeared behind us. "Looks like it's time to pass on...Wherever were going. We'll go together." I said holding her hand.

"I can't wait." I said as we started walking in to the light hand in hand. I didn't care that it had to end this way, I was still with Rogue and that's all I’ve ever wanted and now no one can ever hurt us again.

I could feel something was wrong, so asked the girls to stay inside while I and Winter went to check it out...Never in a million years did we expect what we found... "Bro...Please tell me you’re seeing this to."

"I'm seeing it..." There were two babies on the doorstep! We picked them up and a picture fell out of the jacket, a picture of Bandit and Rogue. "I think we can guess who the parents are."

"But where are they?" I looked to my brother; in silence...I think we both knew what this meant....What do we tell the girls? As I thought that, the little guys started to cry..

I looked at my brother again..We both knew this would the best place for them. We took them in the house there was a little note it read; the girl is named Rain and the boy is named Ember. There was nothing else on the piece of paper. This would be hard to explain to the girls...

We held both of the kids, eventually they calmed down. Luckily we kept the nursery for when Rogue and Capri were kids...And now Rain and Ember would be raised here. We heard the door open and shut....time to explain.

Me and Rachel walked back in the house. We both heard a small noise so we when to see what it was, instead we found Ray and Winter looking very nervous...

"Baby? What's wrong? It's not our anniversary until next week?" Me and Sam laughed, but they didn't...."What is it?"

"I..Uh..." I didn't even know how to say this! How do you even tell someone you found your grandchildren on the door step!? "Me and Ray..Found two babies on our door step.."

I looked at my sister confused and she did right back at me. "But we are so far out! I...I know we wanted another kid Winter...But we can't just have 2 kids here. We need to give them up."

"Rachel, I don't think we can..." I handed her the photo of Bandit and Rogue. "This was with them....There our grandkids Rachel."

I looked down at the photo, and then to the babies...The little girl looked like a clone of me! "Bu...But...They wouldn't just leave their kids here! Rogue..He wouldn't..." And then I burst into tears.

We all knew what it meant. I held her, stroking her head. "We have to keep them; they should at least know some of their family." I knew if they left their kids here they couldn't be too far from here...

I couldn't speak, if he hadn't have had a hold on me, my knees would have given way...My little boy....Gone. I didn't think I'd be able to survive this..

"Rachel...We’re going to look for them, they can't be too far from here...I'm not saying you have to go, but if you want to you can." I knew all of this was so sudden and hurt her, it hurt me too but I wanted to try and stay strong for her.

I nodded and wiped my tears, holding on to my husband like he was my last lifeline to this world. If my baby was out there, somehow we'd find him and bring him home.

We all left the house. Sam wanted to come so we took the babies with us. At first we couldn't find any trace of them then it hit me. That old tree...It was special to Rogue and if we’re lucky that's where there at so we all went there hopping to find them.

Me and Sam both feared the worst...We both huddled together, each with a child in our arms...When Winter said that it made sense..The boys went ahead while we stayed back....The look on Ray's face said enough to Sam...And she just broke down. Deep down I knew the same fate came for Rogue..Though I'll never find him..Never get to say a proper goodbye.

I was on my hands and knees crying....My baby girl was gone. Ray didn't say how she died but by the time they found her she was as cold as they are. He held me for a while before it started to rain. We made our way back home when I tripped on something...It was a suitcase, what could that ever be doing out here? I opened it up and screamed, I never would have expected what I found.

Winter was walking ahead with me when we heard Sam scream. We thought she was just having another panic attack so only I walked back...And oh god, I wish I hadn't...My baby...I can't believe someone would just do that...This time it was my turn to break down.

When Rachel or Sam didn't come back me and Ray when to look for them, they were in front of a suitcase crying their hearts out. We walked to them and found out why they were crying, Rogue's body was in there. He had hand prints all over his neck someone murdered him. I held Rachel but I couldn't take it anymore. I cried right along with her just as Ray did with Sam.

I felt like it was my fault....That's what parents do right? We....Took them home, and gave them a proper burial...They didn't deserve this...They were just kids! And now we would need to raise there’s...Every day we will speak of their parents...Our kids. Our sweet perfect kids

The more Rain and Ember grew the more they reminded all of us of their parents. Rain looked just like Rogue and Ember looked just like Bandit. As toddlers we could tell they would be very different. Rain was the one always getting into something while Ember was a good boy and played with his toys.

I had spent my whole life wanting a kid...And then my son was killed. It stings..It always will. Me and Winter’s relationship suffered…We don't kiss, or sleep in the same bed...I think we blame each other..But I can escape all of that with the kids. Little Ember was very clingy, while Rain a handful.

I knew sis and Winter were having problems ever since that night while me and Ray stayed as close as ever. I tried not to talk about it too much with sis, I didn't want to upset her or anything. But today I was cooking a meal like it was thanksgiving but it was Bandit's birthday she would have been twenty-one…..I had my back turned and I guess Rain crawled in. I turned around to see Rain crawling in the oven! She really was a bad girl…..

I had been playing with the kids, they were 2 now and really getting personalities. Little Ember had to be held by someone at all times, today it was me. It was so hard to look at the little guy, he was such a sweet kid, but reminded me of MY boy...Maybe I need to leave for a bit...

Rain and Ember were still so different...We always had to watch Rain but not because she need to be held, oh no! We had to watch her to make sure she didn't get into anything. I was on the other side of the room when I heard a loud thump and crying. Rain got out of her high chair and fell! I picked her up and tried to get her to calm down but that didn't work...I swear she drives me a bit mad!

I walked into the kitchen and got a bottle made for Ember and sat on the kitchen table; with him holding me with one hand and the bottle on the other...Yeah the twins had favs. I felt awful. I sort of envied my sister. "Is she ok?"

"Yeah, she just won't calm down!" I got a bottle for Rain too. This time I was lucky that she didn't throw it at me. Ember was such a good boy and so much easier to deal with then Rain. I knew Ember was alright he didn't act anything like Rain!

I smiled weakly. "Yeah...Hard to think there twins right?" I looked over at her. It was so hard to...She was a female Rogue. "Listen....I think it's over between me and Winter...I'm going to be moving out."

"WHAT?!" I said it so loud I made both Rain and Ember cry. "Why? I didn't think that things were that bad! But please..Don't go sis..."

"I-I can't do this anymore Sam. We don't talk, every time I look at him I see Rogue. I..I just need to get away from this."

I nodded my head but I didn't accept it. I knew they were meant to be together, I know I don't look like it but I can be very sneaky, Rain had to get it from somewhere! "Well...Will you at least stay for the rest of the day?"

I nodded at her and burped Ember. He was such a sweet kid as she smiled and kissed my cheek. "Yeah, I'll stay for the rest of the day."

"Good." I hugged her and laid Rain down for a nap. I made the food as I do every night (as I’m the best cook.) and everyone as at the table. "Hey Ray? Come with me...I need you to check out something..." I said getting up and grabbing Ray leaving Rachel and Winter alone. They would make up, even if it meant locking them in.. (Which I did.)

I should have known..Why can't my sister just leave well enough alone? I could barely look at him without a tear forming. "...I'm leaving tonight."

I looked up from my plate of food. "Leaving?" I didn't know what to say to her...We hadn't talked to each other in a long time...

I nodded and put my fork and stuff down, looking anywhere but at his face. Shifting nervously like I always did. Some habits will never change. "Moving out. Maybe I'll go back to the town of my birth."

She was avoiding eye contact...How could I let things get this bad? "Rachel...I'm sorry, for everything." If she wanted to leave I couldn't stop her but I could at least say I was sorry. "I still love you no matter what..."

Hearing him say that was the thing that tipped me over the edge. I cried into my hands, not daring to look at him. "You have nothing to be sorry for." I couldn't bring myself to say it back...I felt like I COULDN'T love anymore. It would just hurt more.

Even after this seeing her cry broke my heart.  I put my arms around her as she cried and kissed her cheek.

I didn't pull away, instead I crawled into his strong arms and wept. It had been so long since we had been so....intimate. "I..I miss him Winter."

"I know you do, we all do." I told her. I wanted her to know she wasn't alone on feeling this way.

"It's different...I brought him into this life...And someone took him out of it...I feel like I should have protected him..."

"What could we have done? We did everything we could...He's in a better place now.."

"HE'S NOT WITH US!" I cried and moved away from him. "...I'm all alone again...No one looks up to me, or depends on me..."

"That's not true! I know for a fact that Rain and Ember need you. Ember always says he wants his grandma Rachel and Rain I can already tell she looks up to you! She tries to do things just like you!" I didn't try and hold her again,  I knew she would back away.

I noticed how he didn't say that HE needs me. I guess our 'forever' just wasn't long enough.. "Samaria, I mean it, open this door!" I used her full name, it meant I meant business.

She was mad...She used Sam's real name.. I tried everything I could....I noticed realized something..Sam left, and the door was still locked. But what did I do that made Rachel so mad? "There not the only one's that need you Rachel....We all need you...And most of all...I need you." I blurted it out. I thought she knew it, I guess not...

I stopped and looked at him....He said it so quietly, but I still heard. I felt tired. I was tired of this fighting, "...I need you to."

I hugged her. We stayed like that for I don't even know how long. I told her I loved her like I should've been doing in the first place. That's when the door opened up and there was Sam smirking at us standing in the door way. I guess her plan went well after all...

I never said I would stay...But as I relaxed in his arms, I guess it meant I still wanted him. "...I'll stay. But we have to take things slowly."

I nodded. I could understand that.... I let go of her again....I wouldn't let this happen again whatever the cause was...I couldn't let us fall like that again.

"....Thanks Sis."  I hugged her, and then kiss Winter quickly on the cheek, before going into 'our' room and slept.

"Come on Ember, are you coming or not!?" I yelled out to my brother, we maybe twins but I’m way more fun than he is!

I hung back, not daring to leave the house. "But were not allowed to! Are you sure it's safe?" I shouted.

"Have I ever put you in danger before? Trust me on this, I am your older sister after all!" I was already outside now if my killjoy brother would come out then the fun would start!

"...." I carefully stepped outside, and then ran after her. "You're only older by a few minutes!"

"Older is older little brother!" I loved to remind him that I’m older I could make him do anything with that line! We walked around for a while but Ember kept asking me where we were going, it did get annoying after a while. "That's where were going." I pointed to the city, I’ve always wanted to go there but no one would take me!

"...The city?" I squealed. "But...That's a long way away from home! Everyone will worry and...What if mean men come for us?"

"Then big sissy Rain will take care of it m'kay? We won't be there very long and we'll be back before anyone notices were gone, just stop worrying so much!" See what I have to put up with? Its hard having this kid for a brother.

"Um....Well ok...And if you get in trouble, I'll kick butt sis!" No matter what, we would stick together...We are the only thing to remind each other of our mummy and daddy,

"That's it Ember! Now follow me!" We made our way closer to the city and then we were in the middle of it all! We had a good time!  I was able it sneak up in a movie theater, I got us some hot dogs (coughstealcough) and everything was going great until some old fart stopped us on the side walk!

I hate to admit it, but I moved closer to my (sigh) big sister and took her hand and whispered. "Maybe we should go back?"

"Not yet.." I whispered back. I wanted to see what this guy was all about first...I tried to be nice but he started getting weird so I told him we had to go. As we were walking I looked over my shoulder and the dude was following us! I grabbed Ember's hand and ran. Hopefully this dude would lose us in the crowd of people...

I was out of breath, I don't run as much as my sister... "Rain...He's still coming, just leave me."

I looked at him; I couldn't believe he said that! "No way am I leaving you bro! I'm your big sister and it’s my job to look out for you!" I lead him in a pizza place. "We can stay here until its safe." Or until it closes...Whichever one came first. It was a good thing this place had a lot of kids in it so we blended in.

I sat down, gasping for air as she stuck by me looking around. "What was with that guy?" I was so scared, but tried not to show it.

"I don't even know....But while we're here we might as well make the best of it!" There were games all around this place! There was a bounce house a ball pit and best of all....Free food! It couldn't be too bad hiding out here!

She enjoyed it here...I didn't. I kept looking at the door..I wanted my grandparents. I wanted to be safe.. Rain always drags me into situations like this!

I looked at Ember and he was stressin’ out about that creep! To get his mid off of that I climbed to the very top of the play set with a hand full of balls from the pit. "Ember Cholly! You need to let go and stop acting like such an oldie and play!" I started throwing the balls at him. "Oh yeah and protect yourself from my attack!"

Ow! She hit me right in the face...But still I laughed, grabbing a tray to protect me. "Oh yeah? Bring it Rain Cholly! Or do you need to run home before it gets dark and put your nightlight on!" She acts tough...But she cries at night.

I started to blush, if he wanted to play dirty, I’ll play dirty! "Don't get too scared now baby brother we don't want you running home to get your blankie!" I was so tempted to just off the top of that thing but we would really get kicked out so I made my way down instead. I got the ball blaster and loaded it, it was on!

That was personal! "Yeah....Well...At least I don't wet the bed!" I knew I was going to get killed now, so ran outside!

"I don't wet the bed you dirty liar!" I yelled running after him. When I got outside my smile faded....I didn't see Ember anywhere.. "Ember? You out here?" I started to panic, what if that creep took Ember!?

Vampires Will Never Hurt You- Part fifteen

I still felt confused but smiled and took her hand. "I know you do. You wouldn't be marrying me if you didn't!"

I laughed. I still felt bad and once he was able to come home I would tell him everything. I had to leave so he could get some rest but I told everyone he woke up and that I would be back the next day to see him.

I slept on and off for most of that next day. You wouldn't believe how lonely it got there. I kept trying to remember what she said when I woke up the first time. I heard her say something...But I didn't think it was to me....Weird.

First thing this morning I went to see Rogue. I was really lonely without him and i'm sure he'd be happy to see me. "Hey there Rogue! You feeling any better?" He looked a little better, he wasn't quite as pale.

I smiled eagerly as she sat beside me. "Yep. Loads. Especially now you're here." I may be down, but I can still be my cheeky self. "How is everyone doing at home?"

"Well...Everyone misses you like, a lot. But there all happy your awake. I'm just so sorry for all of this.." I knew he still didn't know I had anything to do with his poisoning.

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do this! Unless that meal you made 2 days ago was undercooked." I smirked, if I was well, she would have hit me.

I looked down.. I didn't want to lie right n his face.. "Yeah...But I do have good news,I was told you could be home as soon as today! Well once they get some tests back that is." I smiled. I knew he wanted to be back home and we all wanted him back.

"Thank god! It's so boring in here...And there is this nurse here that keeps flirting with me. Can you imagine! I told her I was engaged to the most beautiful women in the world, but she just wouldn't take no for an answer! So I had to compel her."

I laughed. "I can't blame her though; you are 'the sexiest man alive.'" I smirked and laughed again. Just then the doctor came in and said they got the tests back and everything looked fine, that meant Rogue could come home!

I smiled, and knowing I was ok, I had the strength to stand and take her into my arms. "I can't wait to get back home with you." I nuzzled her nose and walked out, hand in hand with my love.

Once we got home I sat him on the couch and sighed. I really didn't that it would be this hard. "Rogue, there are something's I need to tell you...I poisoned you but on accident! I would never try anything like that..." I sighed again....It would only get tougher from here.

It took a moment for it to register....Bandit had poisoned me? How? But she said it was an accident. Those happen all the time! "Well I'm ok now right? And we're both still here, so it's ok!" I pressed my lips to her, it had been so long since I could kiss her like this. Hot and heavy.

I took a second to let him kiss me, to enjoy it. I knew very well that this could be the last time I kissed him. "Wait...Rogue there's more...Remember when I said my 'husband' came here? I found out that I don't need to marry him but just have a kid with him...I said no but he said he would tell father and he would kill everyone here....So I had to sleep with him." I couldn't even look at Rogue.

"What?" I felt crushed and moved away, but only a little. My uncle and father had told me of that place, of father and his evil intent....And if he was in a position that could save his entire family from that evil he would take it to... "You were going to have a child with him? What if it was my child? Would you still allow them to suffer?"

"No! I...I.." I didn't know what to say or how to even help myself so I just kept telling the truth. "Rogue you’re going to hate me.." I looked up at him; I had to say this to his face. "I...I slept with Mikey, Rogue..." I turned away and felt tears roll down my cheek. I wanted him to hold me, tell me everything was going to be ok but I knew that wouldn't happen.

Her words made me feel like she had stabbed me in the heart...Several times. She...She cheated on me? With her 'father figure' this...This was too much! "Before or after I proposed?" I said as a growl.

"A...After..." I said in a whisper. It felt like someone was choking me. I couldn't breathe hardly and I couldn't even look at Rogue...I couldn't take seeing the pain in his eyes.

My world just collapsed. I couldn't say anything, my body was trembling... I didn't want to shout, I wasn't raised like that. I slid the ring off my finger, put it on the table in front of us and left the room, slamming the door.

I looked at the ring in front of me, it was over. I couldn't move I was just crying, he could never understand how I felt, about how guilty I felt. I slid my ring off and put it next to his. "It was good while it lasted.." I whispered.

I had to go as far away as I could. Damps have good hearing...And I didn't want her to hear me cry my heart out. I had done so much for her, given her everything I had. And it wasn't good enough. Instead she would rather be in another man’s arms.

I got up. I couldn't stay here, it just wouldn't work. I started to pack my bags, I knew he would want me gone, hell even I would want me gone. No matter what would happen I will always love him. I looked around our room and imaged what could have been. We would have gotten married and had kids but none of that could happen now.

I felt dead as I sat against the tree in the grove we used to call ours. What could I do with my life now? Going back was too painful, I would have to see...her with HIM everyday... But I knew one place that always accepted dhampires.

I walked out of the house and I wondered where could I go? I could go back to 'father' and teach there instead of kill, they knew I would make a great teacher. Or I could live somewhere in the city....I knew going with father would be my best bet and there I could learn something's about what's going on and maybe even stop it... Looks like i'm going back to the hellhole I use to call 'home'.

I had made the decision, I told the guards there my intentions, and I had to await a meeting with my 'grandfather' to see if he could trust me. I thought it was so he could see if he could use me. Whatever stopped the pain.

The guards were glad to see I was back and so was 'daddy' I told them I had killed a nice number of humans but now I wanted to help those in training. Father told me he had to go, something about a new dhampire but whatever.

It was obvious he recognized me. He even laughed, but it was an evil laugh. "Let's cut to the chase old man. Can you train me so I can be of use to you or not?"

Humm we would have to work on him but he could be of some use. "Yes we can train you...But considering that your older it will be much harder. It can be done..." I didn't trust him seeing as he was raised by my weak son but I know just who can train him...

"Fine, I'll take whatever you've got." I didn’t' have compassion or love anymore. I feel sorry for whoever gets stuck with me.

"Send her in." I sent some guards to go get her. She'd been out of here for a while but I knew she still had the skills to teach this boy. "Ahh there's my girl, Rogue meet your teacher, Bandit." I knew only she could teach him, she is the best at killing.

Oh terrific, I leave to escape her and she comes CRAWLING back. "Are you for real? Run out of guys to fuck at home?"

What the fuck was this?! Why the hell would he even be here?! I didn't say a word while we were in there but the second we walked out of there that wasn't the case. "What are you doing here?! Trust me this is NOT a place where you want to be!"

I pushed her away from me. "Like YOU care what's good for me? That's rich, you never gave a toss about me, so don't pretend to now!

"You know what? I do care about you! I will ALWAYS care about you! So yeah I made mistakes and I would trade my mistakes but you’re freaking out about this? I thought you said I could tell you anything, I mean I did tell you I was a murderer remember?!" That sent me over the edge he knew I would always care about him!

"Yeah, and I also remember you saying you'd marry me. That you'd be my only and be faithful! How long did that last?"

"Look, I can't justify my actions ok and I won't try to. I was a whore and i'll be the first to say it. But you have no idea how guilty I felt and still feel."

I had to fight back the tears. Especially when we were here. "Are you going to show me to my room or not?"

"Fine just follow me." I walked down the hallway. He wanted to cry, I could read people just that well. "Here it is." I stopped in front of a wooden door. I looked at him but didn't say a word; how this could work out I had no idea.

I ignored her and walked in. So this was the hellhole that I walked into? Looking back, it was probably a stupid decision.

I was able to get a look at his room. It was nothing compared to mine. My room looked like one fit for a princess while his...His looked fit for a prisoner. "Don't go to sleep or anything, your training starts in thirty minutes." I said while I was in his door way. I was going to have to stop being so nice to him, we could never happen again.

"Didn't plan on it." I said sitting on the bed, not flinching as I spring sprang up. Clearly I wouldn't be sleeping. "You're still here? "

"Just leaving." I said walking away. His tone bothered me and I couldn't do anything about it. Just walking down the hallways reminded me of everything I ever learned, what I saw, and not to mention the assholes that are still here. Now i'm just wondering who's going to tick me off first.

When she was gone, I could finally cuss in frustration. What the fuck have I got myself into? But I went to where she told me to, and I was early. Just to show her up.

I was surprised when I got to the training part of the building Rogue was already there. I groaned when I saw him. But I was the teacher and had to get everything ready. The guns the swords whatever you name, I had it.  Soon others came too, I wanted to see how having a bigger 'class' would work seeing as there are so many dhampires now.

I had heard dhampires were a dying breed. Clearly daddy dearest had been misinformed. I would be the most difficult student ever to her. But I still listened, trained in my own time.

I picked up the swords. I wanted them all to know i'm in charge here. "Hello everyone I'm Bandit Cholly but your all welcome to call me Bandit." I turned around with the swords in hand. "I am in charge here and if you don't listen and do as I say.." I did a trick I was thought when I was younger and it ended up having both of the swords under Rogue's neck, "Let’s just say it won't end well for you." I set to swords back and i'm pretty sure I scared the shit outta Rogue too. Oh well!

I was impressed yes, scared? Not so much. I had been rid of all emotions the day she tore my heart out and tore it to shreds. "That the best you've got 'teach?'"

"No the best I got is quite..Disturbing and its better if you don't try and push me.." I smirked. Thank god I could still turn off my feeling when I did this...

I had grown up alone; I snuck out a lot, no one, not even she knew what I did when I did that. "Face me. One on one. With all these dhamps as witnesses."

I turned around and smirked. "Fine if that's what you want..." I didn't understand why he would want to face me. I know I didn't look like it but I was strong, and knew how to fight. I could fight off twelve humans at once. I've done it before.

I could read her like a book. She underestimated me, and was confused by my request. I nodded in respect, and took my weapon and standed opposite her. "When ready. Call it."

I didn't care if he wanted this or not. I wouldn't hold back, I wouldn't even try to hold back. I grabbed the swords again (my personal favorite) I looked in his eyes. They were soulless, hollow even which meant I was ready for a good fight. "I'm ready."

"As am I." We both bowed, and then the lightning fast paced combat began, she had knowledge in offence, and I had become very agile, being able to dodge all and any move she made. Like we could read each other’s moves. We were even matched.

How he learned this, I had no idea but he was good. I would have to change how I fought to win. He dodged everything I did. So I ran towards him he moved and had his back facing me, big mistake on his part. I kicked him in the back so fast I didn't even see it coming. He was on his knees and I had my swords in his back read to stab him. "Looks like I win." I whispered in his ear. We'd have to do this again.

I hated to admit it to myself, but I enjoyed it. The closeness of it, of knowing we were matched, and feeling her warm breathe on me. "We will...You'll need to win once after all." She looked confused, as I grabbed her arm, and pushed her to the ground, me leaning over here. "Looks like I'm the winner this time. You're disarmed."

I laughed a little. It was fun, sure I can tell he still hates me but it was still fun. "Fine Rogue, you win but I do want a rematch." I got up and smiled. They all looked at me like I was crazy (might be because of my arm bleeding) but I really didn't care. In a twisted way I remembered why I loved doing this.

I realized I was smiling and then looked away. No way would I warm back up to her. The others were speechless. "Does this mean class is over? You might want to get that looked into."

I looked at my arm, it really was bleeding badly. "Uh...Yes for now it is but tomorrow the rest of you will learn something's rather than watch a fight." I walked away and I could hear the rest of them leaving too. But I couldn't forget that smile Rogue shot at me, maybe there could still be a little hope left.

I returned to my room...Or hellhole as I called it. There was nothing for me to do here. I should have packed some of my things. I never got to tell my family goodbye....I was so stupid!

My arm was bandaged up and alright now! For some reason I was feeling better after my little fight with Rogue, strange but I am! I was able to take to my old friends that were still here when they all left. I wonder what or who could make them leave so quick?

I fell asleep in my first night of that hell. I don't know how I did. I was basically living in a shithole. My dreams were dark and horrid, but still. Least I didn't feel emotional pain.

I walked back to my room,I needed all the sleep I could get. I heard footsteps following me the whole time. I thought I was going crazy at first until I remembered where i'm at. It could be a stalker or something...Or it could be James the person that i'm sure has been following me around for weeks. "What do you want?" I said in an annoyed tone.

I put my arms around her, and put my head on her shoulder, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Come on baby. You didn't think I'd let you return down here without me did you?"

I sighed. I was not in the mood any more today. "I hopped that you would....What are you even doing here in the first place?" I turned away so he couldn't kiss me again.

"It seems like you don't want me? You're my soulmate Bandit, of course I came back for you."

"I'm sorry Mikey, today just hasn't been very good. I told Rogue everything and we’re not together anymore. Somehow Rogue is here and this happened when we go in a fight today." I pointed to my arm so he would see it.

I gently caressed her arm and then kissed it. "So we can finally be together now that idiot is out of the way? Don't worry, I have influence here. He won't bother us anymore."

I pulled him into my room so we could talk and no one could hear us. "Mikey, I came here on my own. I'm a teacher here and maybe if i'm lucky I can find out something’s that have been going on around here and see if there's a way to stop it. You can stay and help me if you want but i'm not leaving, not yet. And us..I need time to heal before I can be in a relationship again, I don't want to hurt you."

"Of course you don't. You don't want to upset anyone." Being a full vamp had advantages. "Don't worry about Rogue." I put my hand on her tummy for a moment. "I'll take care of him." And then I left.

What the-? Why would he put his hand on my stomach for? I didn't want to worry about that but I was worried about what he meant by 'I’ll take care of him.' But I went to bed anyway. I needed sleep.

My dull dense dreams were interrupted as I realized I couldn't breathe. Sometimes dhamps slip into a trance like vamps do, and I had done, so it was harder to wake up. But I realized strong hands were around my throat.

I saw his eyes flutter open then he realized what was going on. His eyes got wide with fear but I didn't care. He deserved this.

I knew who it was...I knew he was an asshole the whole time! If I could just get enough strength to get him off me, he laughed as I tried, the oxygen being taken from my lungs....I knew this was the end of me... I knew this was it. "Bandit..." And then my heart stopped.

I couldn't feel his heart beat anymore, I killed him. I let go of his neck I couldn't leave him hear. The hand prints on his neck were too visible I would have to go out and hide his body. I put his body in a suitcase and buried him in the woods.It felt good to know he was down there, gone. Never to be seen again. I don't know who's kid she's carrying, and I don't care. We WILL be together.

I woke up feeling sick. I didn't know what it was,maybe I just ate something bad. That could explain why I threw up three times in the middle of the night. But I couldn't help thinking...No, I couldn't be pregnant, I just couldn't be!

I changed clothes, freshened up and went to see her again. "You don't look to good. Are you ok?" I asked concerned.

I shook my head. "No, all last night I was throwing up! I think I ate something bad..." I hugged him. "Thanks for caring about me."

"Of course I do. I have only ever thought of your happiness your whole life...And speaking of that, I have to tell you...Rogue is gone."

I looked up at him. "W-What do you mean 'gone'? Did he get kicked out of something?" I knew what he meant but I didn't want to believe it. I was holding back tears, I didn't know why I was acting this way already!

"It's not what you think...He just told me to tell you he had enough of being around you and left." I loved tarnishing his name; she'd never know her name was his last words.

"Oh..." I looked down. I guess he really couldn't stand me after all. "To think...I thought we could have been friends again." I kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks for telling me. At least you have enough balls to tell me in person.."

What a gullible idiot! Still, at least she was mine. "And now nothing is between us my love." My hands drifted lower. "Allow me to make you forget him?"

I got closer and kissed him. I think he knew the answer to that. I didn't think that Rogue hated me that much but oh well. He's just a memory now; I won’t see him here again. But I have Mikey...Maybe he was right, maybe we are soulmates....

Everything was falling into place, we made love again, and she was always by my side, everyone new. Father reinstated me; if I came back from the dead I was clearly useful!

Everything seemed to be going fine. My classes were making progress and Mikey was reinstated. I was happy with him. But one day, I had enough of being sick all the time. I was able to get a test and..Looks like I'm expecting a baby!  I knew Mikey would be happy to hear he was going to be a father soon. "Mikey, I have some good news for you....I'm pregnant!"

I smiled and kissed her. "I know, vamp,remember? Congrats to us baby." I didn't know if it was mine or not, and I didn't really care.

I forgot vampires could tell things like that...I was just too excited! "We need to get ready! We'll need a crib, and toys,-" Ok...So I’m like my mother when it comes to this kind of stuff but can you blame me? It’s my first child after all! "Say hi to your daddy little baby..." I said rubbing my belly.

"If it is mine." I grumbled. She looked at me shocked. "Well it's not like it's not a possibility! 3 potential dads."

"I know! But you'll still father it....Right?" I hopped that he would. If we were soulmates I don't think this would break us up.

"Of course baby." I said holding her face and stroking her cheek. "I love you don't I? I just like to know, you know?"

"Yeah...I get it. Maybe when its born we can get a test done if needed." I turned around to go back to bed. Even if it was early in the pregnancy it still took a lot out of me.

"Of course baby. I love you." I kissed her cheek and then left, closing the door gently behind me.

I woke up and I could feel that something was different...Everything looked the same but I still had the feeling that I wasn't alone here...

I was still so confused...No one see or hear me...I even forgot the last few hours, all I remember is having a moment with Bandit...I had to see her....I just had to, so I watched her sleep. Weird I know...But I still cared for her. Whatever happened...No one could see me "I still love you my only.."

I walked around my room and no one was here with me but I could feel it! "Ok whoever you are, show yourself creep!" I was getting really pissed when no one came out or nothing moved. I sat down back in bed. "Oh my god..This pregnancy is driving me crazy...."

Pregnancy...Oh my god.. "Bandit...I'm trying. I'm here....I miss you." My heart broke again...Even she couldn't see me..

I heard my name and looked around. "Come out already! I heard you call my name! I'm tired of your little games already!"

I tried to put a hand on her shoulder....And it just went through. "Oh my god.....I'm dead.."

I walked towards the window and took out a small picture of me and Rogue and sighed. "I miss you Rogue....I'm sorry you couldn't stand being around me." I looked at it. We looked so happy then I had to mess it up but I guess it was for the best. I'm with my real soulmate now.

She had it so wrong... "You have no idea how wrong you are my love...I couldn't stand to be away from you."

I turned around and there he was. "ROGUE?! How did you get here?!"

"Y-You can see me!" I was so overjoyed! I was going to hug her..But I can't.. "I walked through the door...Literally. I'm dead."

"D-DEAD?! How? Mikey told me you left because...Because you couldn't take being around me anymore..."

"That asshole! He's the one that did it! I love you Bandit! I never stopped!"

I shook my head. It couldn't be true! "He couldn't have! He wouldn't kill anyone!" I looked at him. He looked faded. "Why would he even want to kill you?!"

"Because he wants you....Just like I did...do. But I can't now. I can't do anything...I'll never get married, or have kids...or age. Because Mikey killed me Bandit."

I didn't want to believe it but it made sense...Mikey did say he would take care of Rogue...Bit I didn't think THIS would happen! "Rogue...I'm so, so sorry." I tried to hug him but he went right through me. "Rogue i'll make this right, I swear...."

I didn't care anymore...I broke down in tears. "What good does that do me? I'm DEAD Bandit! I won't get to do anything with my life..."

I wanted to put my arms around him but I couldn't...He was a ghost. "I'll find a way I promise...." I knew there had to be someway...He's my real soulmate so we had to find a way...

"No....This is my fate now....I just wish I had told you while I had the chance."

"No! I won't let him get away with this! I will bring you back!" By now I was even crying. "I promise I will...I love you Rogue.."

I tried to hold her hand like I used to. "I know....I think it's your most overused line....I love you to."

I smiled at him even as my tears fell. "Shut up,I say it so much because I mean it....Do you think I'll see you again?"

"I....I hope so"...I closed my eyes and focused, then smiled. "We'll meet again...Take care of our baby.."I felt myself being tugged..somewhere...and I faded.

I smiled, its Rogue's baby... I knew Mikey would be back soon so I jumped in bed and tried to make it look like I was in bed the whole time.

I crept back into the room and held her. "You awake baby?"

"Well now I am." I looked up at him and with fake feeling smiled at him. "I had the weirdest dream, it was about Rogue! Told ya it was weird." I acted like I made nothing of it. I wondered if I could see a bit of guilt in his eyes.

Again? I was starting to get annoyed. "He's gone now baby. Trust me."

"I know...Even if he hates me I still wonder about him every now and again..But he can't compair with you." I kissed him. I hated him so much it wasn't even funny.

"He can't compete with our relationship...You've known me all your life."

"I know...I just wish he could have told me himself it would make me feel like I meant something to him..Or I could have at least told him I might be carrying his child."

"Like you said. Genes don't matter. I'll be there daddy."

"Yeah and what a great daddy you'll be." I kissed him and went back to bed. I hate him soo much now and I would find a way to bring Rogue back…..
