you
through that.’
    Daniel leant in
and kissed her softly on the lips and once on each cheek, and Sarah
let herself enjoy it, feeling instantly warm and fuzzy at his
touch.
    Daniel leant
back, making himself comfortable against a tree that had been
close. Sarah moved closer and leant against his side. She reached
up and stroked his gorgeous dark, messy hair. It was so silky, and
to her enhanced vamp vision she could see all sorts of colors
reflected in it, making him look utterly beautiful. She kissed his
firm jaw, before smiling ruefully and making it clear she was concentrating.
    Daniel
continued and Sarah listened, not just to his words, but to the
sound of his voice as his southern drawl sent tingles through her
body right to her core.
    ‘I’m not sure
what you remember . . . ?’ he said.
    ‘The last thing
I remember is you shouting for me to run and then a sudden pain
wrenching through my neck,’ Sarah answered.
    ‘Yes well, that
would have been when Sebastian snapped it. Then you fell, you
died,’ Daniel said.
    Sarah’s heart
ached as he said this, not so much because it was her death he was
speaking of, but because of the pain evident on his face, in his
clenched jaw and in his eyes. She placed her hand on his chest as
he carried on.
    ‘I was so
angry, and my heart, well – I retaliated. I killed the body he was
in. Dark energy materialized from it and it took on the shape of
Sebastian. I attacked him using the magic Heather had taught
me.’
    Sarah
remembered Daniel talking about Heather before; she was the witch
Daniel had gone to see recently. That had been when Sebastian had
attacked her. Daniel had known Heather for years and she had taught
him magic before. That was how he had killed Sebastian’s real body
the first time round.
    ‘I fired energy
at Sebastian, weakening him, and then I did a binding spell. I
bound him into an urn, which I left next to you while I was burying
the bodies. It must still be there now, or I hope it is, as that’s
the most important thing we need to do. We need to go back and find
it and bury it. That’s what Heather told me.’
    ‘Can’t we
destroy Sebastian completely?’ Sarah asked.
    ‘Apparently
not. Heather said it’s because he’s such an old vampire. She said
he’s become tied to the Earth. His form now is extremely weakened,
but if someone with powerful magical abilities found him and wanted
to resurrect him it would be possible. They would need to be
stronger than I was when I cast the spell – and I was strong then,
performing it has weakened me – so they would need to be very
strong. That is possible though. There are no-doubt both strong
vampires and witches out there somewhere, and who knows if
Sebastian knew any. He may have. That’s why we need to bury him as
deep as we can, and hide any trace of the burial. It didn’t seem
right somehow to bury him with the bodies that he had possessed,
and anyway I didn’t bury them as deep as we need to do for this. So
that’s what we need to do. Then we have to get rid of the spade so
it’s not tied to the bodies I buried, put it somewhere in the woods
far from here. We can do this tonight, well, we should get on with
it and do it now. Then we can go and see your family first thing in
the morning when your kids are up, and before your parents get too
worried.’
    ‘They’re
probably pretty worried as it is – they probably won’t sleep,’
Sarah said.
    ‘Yes, they
probably are – but I will influence them in the morning and they
will forget,’ Daniel reassured her.
    Sarah wasn’t
sure though. She was worried her parents would be VERY stressed,
they might call the police or something, and then Daniel would have
even more to deal with in the morning. The more people who knew
there was a problem; the harder it would be for her to return in
the future.
    ‘Daniel, please
can you go and influence them now, before we bury the urn. We can
go back again in the morning when my kids are up, so I can see
