against his leather
jacket.
    ‘I love you so
much Sarah,’ he said back.
    Sarah still
could not believe she was hearing it, that it could be true. She
felt he was too good for her. She would not let herself dwell on
that though, there was no point, he was here and his actions proved
his words. She smiled to herself as she snuggled into him, and felt
safe held tightly in his arms.
    She lifted her
head to look into his eyes and to see his face as they talked
more.
    ‘What can we
say to my family? What are we going to tell them?’ Sarah asked him
pleadingly.
    She thought it
was not long ago she had asked him a similar question. That was
after she had been taken by Sebastian, and had been missing for a
couple of days. She was human then, and had thought she was
returning to her family for good. She had had such a short amount
of time with them before this had happened, before she had been
killed and had awakened as a vampire.
    This time she
would hardly get to see her children at all. Still, at least she would see them, and maybe – a hopeful thought occurred to
her, if they could leave on good terms, well – under good influence
– she would be able to keep in touch. She could talk to her parents
and children on the phone, maybe via Skype. Then she could see them
grow up and they would still recognize her when she returned. She
swore to herself that she would. She would develop enough control
that she could be with them again – she had to – she could not miss
their lives and she didn’t want them growing up with no parents at
all. After all, Jo was dead now too. Their life was going to be so
different.
    Daniel spoke,
startling her; she had been so absorbed in her thoughts.
    ‘Let’s think it
over for a bit. There are some other things we need to do before
going to see your family,’ he said.
    ‘What things?’
Sarah asked.
    ‘Well, two
things really. Before you, errr, woke up, I took a spade from your
house to bury the bodies Sebastian had possessed,’ Daniel said.
    Sarah looked at
him intently as he spoke. She was shocked that she had forgotten
about the bodies, the life she had taken when fighting Sebastian.
Sebastian had come back from the dead as some kind of spirit after
Daniel had staked him. He had taken possession of a teenage boy who
had then attacked Sarah while Daniel was away trying to learn
enough magic to make sure Sebastian could never come back.
Sebastian attacking her had triggered the enhanced strength that
she had developed from Daniel’s blood, after he had saved her the
first time Sebastian had hurt her. God – all she had been through –
it was mind boggling. Sarah shook her head to clear it.
    She thought of
the boy she had killed instead. Daniel had told her there was
nothing she could have done differently, that once someone had been
possessed in that way there was no saving them. That really the boy
had been dead already. Sarah could not help but feel guilty though
as she had never hurt anyone before, not seriously, and now she had
killed someone. She had nearly killed someone again tonight, she
thought, becoming distracted by the thought of blood. . . .
    ‘Sarah!’
    ‘Sorry . . .’
Sarah said, snapping out of it, forcing herself to concentrate
again, ‘. . . carry on please.’
    ‘That’s why I
wasn’t with you when you awoke – I was burying them.’
    ‘Them?’ Sarah
interrupted, thinking there was so much she had missed out on while
she had been out of it, and adjusting, ‘The second body – you mean
you killed the woman who had been possessed by Sebastian too?’
    Daniel
nodded.
    ‘What about
Sebastian? God, sorry I didn’t ask sooner, what happened? And also
– thank you Daniel – thank you for burying the body for me,’ Sarah
said, feeling her eyes well up at the thought of him dead. She was
glad Daniel had buried the body and that she did not have to face
what she had done.
    ‘Sarah, don’t
worry, I was glad to do it for you. I wasn’t going to put
