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…..
