Dark Love
after all. You are strong. You will be able to see them again. But you won’t be able to
live with them for a while – maybe a few years – until you can
master thorough control. We will have to go away – far from here,
so you are not discovered while you are mastering this. But you can see your kids before we go. I will go with you and I
will influence you to remain in control – and you will.’
    Sarah nodded,
she knew he had influenced her, and she was feeling better – her
pain had faded. She was not angry at him for influencing her, even
though a part of her, deep inside, wondered if she should be. But
she wasn’t, she was thankful, she could not handle feeling that
pain. Daniel had not lied. She knew he was telling the truth, she
nodded again, still processing what he had told her. They would
need to go away, somewhere far from here. Not just so she would not
be discovered, but so she would not have to face the constant
temptation to see her children – what if Daniel left her alone? He
could not constantly be by her side after all, and what if she got
lost to the blood lust while it was mixed with her love for Megan
and Bea, and she just could not help but see them? What if she did
see them and she lost control?
    Thinking it now
did not cause her the pain it had a moment ago. She knew she had
Daniel to thank for that, but she could still think it through,
reason it out. She knew they had to leave soon – as soon as was
possible.
    Sarah looked at
Daniel. She realized he was kneeling on the ground in front of her
and watching as she thought things through and adjusted to what
they would have to do. Star light reflected gently off his dark
hair, which looked raven black in the darkness, and off his cheek
bones, defining his handsome face. She looked into his eyes.
Turning into a vampire had not affected how it felt to look into
those. They were so dark, and she still felt like she could see to
eternity as she looked. It was so easy to lose herself in them. She
smiled softly at him, and he moved in closer. She watched as he
raised his hand and wiped the streaks of tears from her cheeks with
his fingers. They felt cool and refreshing, and they helped to wake
her from her consuming thoughts.
    ‘Sarah, we will
need to go and see your family soon, because there are things you
need to take away with you. We must get your passport,’ Daniel
hesitated, ‘– do you have one?’ he asked.
    ‘Yes,’ Sarah
replied softly, waiting to find out his plans.
    She was still
desperate to see her kids, yet trying to repress the blood lust
that also rose when she thought of them.
    ‘We also will
need some clothes for you, and all the everyday basics you may want
to bring. As I said before – I will influence you to keep control,
enough so you can see your family for a short while, and so you can
pack your own things. You can choose what you want to bring – I’d
probably choose the wrong things if I packed for you.’
    Sarah smiled,
relieved. She did want to pack herself, that way she could take
some photos of Megan and Bea. At least if she could not see them in
person, if she could not risk that, she could remember them. An
idea occurred to her –
    ‘Daniel?’ she
asked, ‘Could you influence Megan so that she doesn’t remember that
she saw me fight, and be killed? And my parents – please could you
make sure they forget what Megan may have told them?’
    ‘Yes, I was
planning on it,’ Daniel reassured her.
    ‘And can you,
can we, think up a reason for me going away? For us going away
together?’ Her heart sank and a moment of panic kicked in, ‘You are
coming with me, aren’t you?’ she asked.
    Daniel actually
laughed, and Sarah felt silly for doubting it.
    ‘Of course! I
couldn’t let you go by yourself. I couldn’t bear the thought of
being away from you,’ Daniel said.
    Sarah sighed as
he stroked her face and then pulled her into an embrace.
    ‘I love you
Daniel,’ Sarah said and her voice muffled
