Demon Vampire

Part 4

Part 4

Over the next few nights she kept going to the coffeehouse to see if he might be there. Each and every night, he was indeed waiting for her. He was devoted to her, anything to ensure her happiness. Soon the two began roaming the city, getting to know each other a little more. He knew he'd have to explain the vampire thing, but didn't want to reveal it too soon and scare her off; or make her hate him for it. He wanted to find a way to make her remember the past; they were bonded together long ago. He waited it out, her feelings for him would develop over time and he knew it. He sensed it. Nights rolled into weeks and months as the demon vampire had been right, she was falling in love. It was pure luck that she went into the coffee shop that night. She'd never met anyone like him before. He was dark and mysterious, yet light hearted. She loved every minute they were together. Each night was like a new adventure.

When she was with him, it was as if the world shifted, somehow. She couldn't explain it. Feeling complete bliss with him. She'd loved before, but nothing like this. When they were apart, he was like an addiction to her. She needed to be near him again. Feeling that she couldn't live without him. His essence began to invade her dreams. Katrine found it a comfort when they were apart.

Syluss was overwhelmed at how well it was going in the mortal realm. He couldn't believe he'd found her, it was as if he were dreaming. He'd be able to live out eternity here so long as she was with him. Of course he missed being in the underworld, but he'd prefer to miss home than miss her. He couldn't wait to see her again, tonight. Just to touch his dark angel one more time. The thought of her consumed him. He'd rarely thought of his now thirst for human blood; unless he went without it for too long. He waited in the depths of the cave until the sun diminished for the night. Then he bolted from the cave and didn't stop until reaching the all night coffee house. He went in and waited for her arrival.

In her room, listening to music, instinctively looked to the window as the sun began to fade for the night. Jumping up, turning the music off; she grabbed the green tote bag and filled it with a few essentials. She couldn't wait to experience another night of freedom with him. It felt as if she'd never really experienced life until she met him. As soon as the bag had been packed, bolting out of the house, Katrine sprinted the mile and a half to the coffeehouse. She thought of nothing but being with him. Though she was only nineteen, knew what it was that plagued her.... Love. She was in love and refused to live without him. Young but deep down, there had been evidence of an old soul. As she rounded the corner, heart beating fast and out of breath; she stopped for a moment; only long enough to breathe normally again. Placing her hand on the door, peeked in to see that he was there already. He sat there in the back at a table for two. Opening the door, walking quickly over to him.

"Have you been here long?"

"Not that long."

"Oh good, I wouldn't want to keep you waiting."

"I'd wait an eternity for you." He replied as she kissed him. Letting go, she sat with him as they talked about everything together. She'd never known life could be this way. It was strange, she felt different with him, as if she could take over the world as long as he was there, too. Wondering if they'd known each other in a past life, or a few of them. The connection was a fierce one. She'd begun to have a strange instinct about these things recently. They were little things at first, then she noticed the intuition would get stronger during the nocturnal hours.

"Would you like to explore the caves with me tonight? It's quiet and a good place to be alone."

"I'd love to."
