I woke up feeling strange honestly I was surprised I got any sleep at all, I pushed my body out the bed and got dressed for the day ahead of me, as soon as I finished up Martin opened the door
"The master of the house requests your presence miss" he says
I nodded and followed him out into the house I felt so on edge the whole walk down to the kitchens.
Once we arrived I noticed the smell of cooking, I saw the table sat with various items and Thomas stood cooking, Martin left me there locking the door behind me
"Ah good morning darling,"
"Morning thomas." I answered nervously
"Take a seat breakfast will just be a moment" he says
I nodded not want to go against him taking a seat at the table looking over the various items
"Help yourself to a drink" he says as he cooked, I stared at the large jug of red liquid and I didn't touch it at all, he then came over with two plates in hand each with some french toast and pancakes with strawberries laid on top he sat one plate across from me and the other Infront of me he saw me looking at the jug and chuckled giving my cheek a kiss "it's just blackcurrant juice darling" he smiled pouring me a glass "I'm not going to serve you blood relax a little" he says sitting down to begin with his own breakfast, I nibbled at my own admittedly nervous but it was delicious
"So you can eat human food?"
"Hu? Oh. Course I can. It's just not that nutritionally beneficial for me. Blood and meat is most of our diet"
"So it's not all blood?"
"Blood and flesh but that's not sticky humans, I do enjoy a good steak or a nice bit of bacon" he smiled "I can eat human food it just doesn't do much for my hunger like empty calories, like a McDonald's or a bag of Cheetos. Then again in the bits of my hunger I have been known to devour both of those" he explained"I'm not going to force you to eat like me, we have a bit of human food about mostly for you and Oliver."
"Oliver's human?"
"Yes. I told you marriage before process. He'll go through it next week" he explained "I should bring you along, but you at ease a little bit of you see it done to someone else" he smiled "that is... if your staying here. But we would discuss that till after breakfast" he explained
"It's nice" I smiled
"Umm your sweet" he smiled sipping his coffee"no matter what the outcome of our discussion there's no reason to be horrible to you, might as well let you have a nice morning"
"Thank you" I smiled as I finished up breakfast
"So?" He asks already unable to remove his eyes from the table his breaths slow and solemn
"Well, I thought about It all night, I wasn't sure of my answer at first but I think it's best" I said and he nodded seeming upset "I'd like to stay, if you'll let me"
"You- you what?" He asks picking his head up seeming surprised by my words
"I'd like to stay here with you,"
"You... you mean it?"
"I do" I nodded "I can't turn down a life like this, to be free of sickness and fear of death, to live a life with you would be sweet even if it means being a monster too"
He bolted from his chair hugging me tighter then I'd ever been hugged before pressing kisses all over me muttering over and over that he loved me
"Thomas" I said pushing him back "I would like to stay, but I have some conditions"
"Name them my darling"
"I don't want to be attacked again"
"Aww" he smiled giving me a kiss "no need to worry about that, I've had a word with her we would have any more troubles like that I promise" he smiled
"And"
"And?"
"I'd like to make some changes to the house"
"Changes?"
"It's a very big beautiful old house Thomas but... the lights are old and dangerous, the kitchen still has a wood burning stove, the only heating is the fireplaces"
"I suppose it could do with some... modernization"
"But of course we'll keep originally features and things just maybe update the wiring and... central heating"
"Alright, if that's what my darling wants" he smiled
"And"
"And? What else?"
"And I'd like to see you"
"See me?"
"Your true form before were married"
"That's fair. When the time is right my love" he Cooes "ummmm I knew first moment I heard your voice that you were perfect my sweet beautiful y/n" he smiled holding me close so I could nuzzle into his chest "just a moment my love" he Cooes kissing my head "Martin!"
"Yes sir" he nods as he arrived back to the kitchen
"Gather up y/n's things, she won't be staying in the guest suite any longer, take her things to my room we'll be Sharing from now on"
"Yes sir. Please come with me miss"
"OI! No more miss. She's the lady of the house now, make sure all in service address her as such"
"Thomas it's alright -"
"No no no. You're my lady now. Anything my lady wants she can have and people need to make sure they address my lovely lady correctly"
"Apologies my lady, please" he nods so I have Thomas a kiss and followed Martin up to my room beginning to pack up "if I may say so my lady, I think you did a very brave thing."
"As you said Martin the life I knew is gone. I may as well be dead. If I can prevent more suffering then I will. Besides I like Thomas he's sweet and I wouldn't mind this life."
"Thank you my lady, come I'll take you to the masters suite"
