Episode 18 - Part 25

Chris closed his eyes, waiting for the end, wondering if it was true that a vampire's soul died with his body. He wondered if there would be a light. But instead of light, or even just a simple loss of sensation, he felt warmth and heat, first in his shoulder where Mary's stake had grazed him, pinning his shirt to the floor, then through the rest of his body as she settled onto him, pressing her lips against his own.

He kissed her back, resting his hands hesitantly on her hips. The sudden, unexpected brush with death had left him awash in confusion and uncertainty, and he still wasn't entirely sure that Mary hadn't obliterated his heart - he certainly felt like he was bleeding out - maybe this was some trick the brain played whilst one was in the throes of death.

As Mary took off her shirt and began tugging at his belt buckle, the absurdity of the situation hit him full force. His last coherent thought was to completely ignore any further thoughts. After all, terrifying was simply a synonym for exciting, and this, right now, was the fuel time burned to keep the whole world going. To start asking questions would be downright blasphemous. Instead, he closed his eyes and let sensation after sensation wash over him, finding his way around Mary's body on instinct and the map of her he'd been drawing in his head for so many months. Even the lust for blood, awake inside him as always, had been quieted enough to slip away with everything else.

The tires screeched as James slammed on the brakes outside of Chris Peterson's house. It was the last place he'd thought to check - it had seemed unlikely that a vampire would bring someone into his home, to where he slept. What if Mary had managed to survive, to get away? All she would have to do is wait until sunrise, and that would be that. And why would Mary, however irrational she'd been, allow Chris to take her to completely unfamiliar territory?

With a sinking feeling he realized he was wrong - neither one of them would have come back here. He had missed them, Chris had already disposed of her body, and now he was back home brushing his teeth and slipping into pajamas. Mary had been right about one thing at least- Chris would die tonight.

James' heart jumped when he saw Mary, alive, well, and sleeping. Sleeping? Maybe she couldn't find Chris' car keys after she killed him. She would have been tired, and she'd had several drinks earlier in the night. Staying the night here had probably been the best option she had.

James: "Mary?"

Mary: "What are you doing here?"
James: "I was looking for you."
Mary: "Oh. Good. Can you give me a ride home?"

*ahem*

Thank you, for not having Mary kill Chris.

aikea_guinea fessed up and told me it was you who made the final decision on that.

Are you trying to give a girl a heart attack?!? I was getting a little nervous there.

Okay, carry on, lol.

Hehehe!! Yes, Chris is safe (for now). We were actually going to kill him way back in one of the first episodes, though. But he was too hot.

To be fair, Chris was never truly in dager this ep (well, maybe for half a seconds worth of pondering). All I was responsible for is not having the cliffhanger ending at the part where you think Mary's killed him. ;) (And I didn't even do that out of the kindness of my heart; I just didn't have enough planned for afterwards to justify ending it there).

It's true, you know, we really do try to torture everyone as much as we can.
