The Tour Life Bites

Chapter 26: schemes and anger

My apologies for taking so long to update. I've had tremendous writers block and have also been hit with a serious case of laziness and little drive to write but I really hate leaving you all hanging so I finished the new update for y'all. This story has also been getting neglected because I started up the sequel to The Doctor and that has been at my full attention recently. Thank you all for hanging in here with me and my laziness and continuing to read and love this story. Without you and your support this story probably would have ended a lot time ago so thanks for reading and commenting! I always love to read and reply to your thoughts so keep them coming! <3

I took the potion and held it delicately in the air, examining it. 'How odd something so simple and small could kill so easily.' I thought to myself but suddenly the vial was ripped from my hands. I jumped and looked up to see a very pissed off Daniel shoving it back at Rem.

"Do your own dirty work, she isn't going to help you." He growled, wrapping an arm around my waist and hastily pulling me away.

"Let go of me!" I said, angrily twisting until he let go but then I fell into a bus where he trapped me against it, putting his hands on either side of my head.

"What the hell are you doing?" He hissed.

"None of your business." I hissed back.

"You have no idea what you were getting yourself into back there!" He growled angrily as if talking to a naive child. "Why do you want to become a vampire anyways?" He asked, lowering his voice and becoming more sincere.

I bit my lip and looked away from his eyes but he caught my chin and forced me to look back.

"This better not be about me..." He said, slow understanding starting to spread across his face. Suddenly he pulled me into a tight hug, wrapping his arms around my waist and shoulders. I stood stiffly in his arms for a moment, unsure what to do but finally melted and wrapped my arms around him too. I buried my face in the crook of his neck and felt so overwhelmed that silent tears of frustration started to escape. He held me closer, "I love you and I love the way you are. I don't want you to ever feel like you have to change for me." He whispered in my ear. I just nodded, unable to speak. I felt myself being picked up, I didn't care why or where we were going, anywhere with him was okay and safe. He carried me across the lot then stopped, propped me up on his knee so he could use a hand to open the door and carried me in.

He laid me down on the couch and retraced his steps to shut the door then came back and laid down with me. It was an awkward silence we sat in. Neither one of us dared to move or talk, afraid of the subject matter that could come up. We just wanted to sit in blissful ignorance for a little while longer. I watched him staring up at the ceiling, clenching his jaw and then relaxing it over and over as if he was about to say something but then never spoke. I turned on my back again and sighed but then turned and crawled up to him and laid down on his chest. He watched me with a guarded and slightly cold gaze but still wrapped his arms around me as I laid down. We both sighed heavily in unison and smiled slightly because we were doing thing at the same time again but even being this close it didn't feel like this moment was allowed to be happy, we were still grappling with words neither could say. I felt him take up a lock of my hair and start twirling it around a finger deep in thought. I on the other hand was to afraid to be alone with my thoughts. My head was a wild card and I was spending my time trying to blank thoughts out.

"Look..." He said trailing off and taking a long moment before he finished the sentence. "I'm not mad about you and James anymore. It was a stupid thing you did in the moment but stopped before it was to late. It doesn't change how we feel about each other and I'm sorry for being so mad." He said quietly, rubbing my back. I nodded slightly,
