I took Antoinette's hand and we went walking into the street.

" You didn't tell me you were taking vervain, maybe I should take some too.

- I put some into your morning coffee, she smiled.

- Damn. Keeping secrets are we ?

- Say the one who made research of her past life without telling me, she said sarcastically.

- I didn't think it was important. It doesn't matter who I was in New Orleans. My life is here, with you, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

- I believe you Y/n. I just need to know who are Hayley and Freya to you ?

- I think Hayley was a close friend or something like that, maybe more. And Freya is someone Y/n y/l/n used to love, once upon a time. But right now the only one I want to marry is you. So we're getting that champagne ? I smiled.

- Of course we are."

A few days passed and I saw someone following Antoinette and I. At first I didn't say anything until I saw them in a heated discussion.

" Who is he ?

- He's here for me, to take me back.

- Bring you back to where ? I asked worriedly.

- It doesn't matter, she said sternly.

- Then why are you packing ? I'm confused, Antoinette.

- Remember when I said that they were things in my past I'd rather forget... this man, he's part of it.

- Then we kill him, problem solved.

- They'll send a replacement, she shrugged.

- They ? Who the hell are they ?

- Look I have wanted to tell you more about my past but I was afraid of how you'd react. I was thinking of heading east, she added changing the subject. Someone told me Shanghai is a safe place to hide out.

- Feel free to send me a postcard.

- You gave me a ring, Y/n. You asked me to marry you.

- And you spent the last seven years lying to me. Do I even know you ? I asked, hurt.

- That's not fair, you lied too, she said, offended.

- Because it's irrelevant, it's a few years of my life, not hundreds of years like you. Why didn't you tell me ?

- Because you are sweet and caring. Your hand still shakes when you take a life to feed. I have done terrible things, been a part of monstrous groups. And I'd rather keep my secrets and you walking away and telling you the truth and having you hate me forever.

- I could never hate you.

- Look, my father had antiquated notions about the supernatural, and I followed him for centuries by fear. When I finally could I left and found my peace into being a vampire, leaving into the night brings me peace. And I want to share my life with you, I want to marry you. I love you Y/n. So yes I will be packing because I can't go back there. But I hope that you'll come with me."

Before I could add anything someone knocked at our door. Antoinnette vamped to it, opening, while I walked, taking my time and calming myself.

" Mother ? What happened to you ? Antoinette said, seeing the bloody woman.

- The path to redemption is long and winding...but worthy, she answered. Y/n, yes ? What a pleasure to finally meet you, I'm Greta.

- And you, I said, simply staying a bit behind Antoinette."
