Chapter 11: Love At Crossroads

15 4 3
                                    

In silence, we reunited, a month's chasm to fill, 

Tension crackling, an unspoken bond, a test of will. 

A journey to a distant realm, our hearts suspended, 

An awkward hush engulfed us, words left untended.

Desire surged within me, urging me to hold him near,

To bridge the gap between us, to quell doubt and fear.

As we halted 'midst tranquil woods, a cottage came in sight,

Orion's refuge, where he battled his vampire's plight.

His insatiable thirst for human blood, an unquenchable need,

Had led him to this isolated haven, a place where he'd plead.

For release from immortality's grip, a harsh and cruel fate,

Yet in his vulnerability, I found him, and it wasn't too late.

Our lips met, igniting a passion, familiar and divine, 

Time melted away, in that kiss, our souls did entwine. 

Breaking away, I looked into his eyes, no falsehoods to impair, 

"I love you as you are, Orion," my whispered vow in the air.

Summoning courage, I asked to share his endless night,

To be a part of his world, in darkness and in light.

Orion hesitated, conflict etched in every line,

"V," he sighed, "this path, it isn't benign."

Yet, I was resolute, prepared for the unknown ahead,

To walk beside him, to share the immortal thread.

A question lingered, a plea in the stillness of night,

"Don't you wish to be with me, for our love to take flight?"

The weight of that query, an answer unspoken,

Orion turned away, silence heavy and unbroken.

Uncertainty loomed, in the air it hung and swayed,

As we faced the crossroads, our future yet unmade.
