Make Me, Bite Me, Taste Me

Chapter 14: Our Past

"You and I have met many times before" he begans.
"We have always known each other and no matter how many times I tried to stay away, our paths crossed and all the love we had for each other came rushing back" he says with a sad smile.
"Why did you try to stay away" I ask confused.
"Because everytime we met, we fell in love. It would always end the same.....with your death" he says in sorrow.
"Then why come for me now" I ask not quite sure if I'm ready for this.
"I wasn't planning to come for you but you made that impossible" he says looking at me pointedly.
Me...how" I asked offended.
"Let me start by saying that all the times we have met it has been random. The first few times yes I actively seeked you but once I realized what happened everytime we got together so I stopped. Some how we still managed to cross paths and I couldn't seem to stay away once we had. The vision that you seen was the last time we were together and that was over a hundred years ago" he says sending my body into shock.
"So we haven't crossed path's since" I asked wanting to know.
"We have but I fought my instinct to come to you and stayed away from you" he says.
"Why" I ask if we were together every other time what was so different about that one time. Judging by the look on his face I could tell he was reading my thoughts.
"The difference between then and all the other times was that time I had vowed with everything in me to keep you safe and by my side. The longer we were together. I guess you could say I became more comfortable thinking that finally after all that time and nothing had happened I believed we were finally safe. I believes that all that suffering and heartache was over with. When we discovered you were pregnant it was as though the world seem brighter. As if all was right in the world. As if this time we actually were going to get to stay together. The day I found you bleeding in the grass and watch as you and our baby died in my arms I made a vow that day to stay away from you. So that you might actually have a fighting chance. I seen you once after that incident and it took everything in me to walk away from you. I didn't see you again for decades. A few years ago word spread through the community that there was someone out there killing vampires. I sent orders to seek that person and bring back all information to me. The second I received your photo I knew it was you" he says.
"How though" I ask.
"Because no matter how many centuries we have met or how many different ways you looked. One thing stayed the same and that was the one thing that always help me know it was you" he says secretly.
"What was it" I ask curious.
"You're eyes, you're eyes always gave you away. I've never met someone with the color of yours" he says placing a hand on my face.
"My eyes really. I always thought they were creepy" I say which is true I mean who has purple eyes even if it is light purple. No one does that's who except me.
"No you're eyes are beautiful and unique" he says with a smile.
"How fitting" I mumble.
"So let me get this straight we've been together a lot in different times only it always ended in my death. So finally you decide to stay away. That is until I make myself known" I say trying to sum up what he just told me.
"Yes" he answers.
"That still doesn't explain why you came for me now" I say.
"I came for you this time because unlike all the other times there was something different about you. Not only that with the circumstances surrounding the situation it was time for me to actually have you" he says being criptic once again.
