Love in the shadows🩸🔪 (Kirk Hammett one shot-Part 4-Finale)

The night felt like it was closing in, my scream still hanging in the air. My heart raced, my pulse weakened where the vampire had gripped me. I only did my job... But a shadow appeared and with inhuman strength and speed he took the vampire off me. And putting himself between me and the vampire. He turned around and looked at me. It was Kirk, the man I saved on the road. His red eyes glowed with fierce determination. "You're safe now," He said, with a deep voice. "Get away from her." The vampire started laughing "Kirk, what a pleasure to see you again! I thought you were dead." He said, continuing laughing. "This ends tonight. You touched the wrong person, and you will pay for it." Kirk said angrily. "Let's see if this time you'll die" the vampire said and threw himself to Kirk with inhuman speed. The fight was immediate and intense, the street became a battleground.

"You think you're stronger than me?" The enemy yelled as they grappled. "You became weak!" "In your dreams" Kirk retorted, blocking an attack with a swift, powerful movement. "I'm here to save her and kill you, your time has come." The vampire hissed in frustration as he tried to land a blow. "Kirk, you're weak. You lost your force!" Kirk's eyes darkened. "You're so full of yourself. This will be the reason for your downfall" he snapped, launching a powerful counterattack. His blows were precise, each one filled with a force that pushed the enemy vampire back. "You think you're gonna kill me? The enemy spat, struggling to keep up with the ferocity of the attack. "Yes, and it will happen soon." With a final attack, Kirk blocked his neck between his arms. "It's over" he said with a mixture of grim satisfaction. The vampire, trying to escape his grip, but failed. "You can't protect her forever! If they know that she knows our secret, they will come for her" he spat, with a weak voice.

"Then I will kill whoever tries to do it" Kirk said firmly and then he twists his neck causing it to break. Kirk turned to me, his eyes filled with concern. "Did he hurt you?" He asked, pulling me in an embrace. "No, I'm fine" I said but I was still shocked. "What will you do with his body?" I asked. "Don't worry, I'll take it. But now we have to get you somewhere safe" he said. "Don't worry Kirk, I can-" I didn't even finish the phrase that he lifted me into his arms, carrying me swiftly through the darkened streets to his home. The house was big and ancient, furnished with antique-style furniture. He laid me gently on a large, comfortable couch. "Thank you," I said. I looked at him but what I saw made me skip a beat. His eyes were red now and made me scared.

"Kirk, are you okay?" I whispered. "Y/n, you are hurt. I can feel blood" He said, stepping away. I checked my body if I had some injuries. I lifted my shirt and I found a cut in my wrist that was bleeding. I hadn't even noticed. "Kirk, why are you pulling away from me?" I said. "I haven't fed before saving you" he admitted, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I don't want to risk hurting you..." I looked up at him, my heart aching at his distress. "Kirk, if you need blood, you can take min-" but I didn't finish the phrase that he yelled. "NO! I can't drink your blood. What if I can stop and I kill you? I can't do this" he yelled but he became pale. "Kirk, you're becoming pale. Please drink my blood. I trust you, I know you will stop" "No, Y/n. I can't do it" he said in a whisper. I stood up, reaching out to touch his cheek. "I trust you. Do it, please" I whispered.

He gazed at me, his eyes searching mine for any sign of hesitation. Finding none, he nodded slowly. "Are you sure, Y/n? He asked one last time, his voice barely a whisper. "More than ever." He nodded, his expression softening with a mix of gratitude. He leaned me to the couch where we sat. Carefully, he lowered his head to my wrist. At the beginning it was painful, but then I didn't feel anything. As he fed, a deep, comforting sensation spread through me, connecting us in a way that was both intimate and reassuring. When he pulled back, his eyes returned his natural colour. "Thank you" he murdered, his voice filled with gratitude. "I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable" "Don't worry, it's okay. I wanted this."

"Kirk, can I ask you a question?" I asked him, "Of course, what do you want to know?" "How did you know I was there?" I asked and I saw him smiling. "Well, I never lost sight of you since that moment you saved me. I watched you from afar to see if you were safe, " he confessed. "Why did you do that?" "Well, because I couldn't forget about you. When you saved me, I fell in love with you. You know, when a vampire falls in love with a person, he will love that person forever" he said leaning closer to me "Then why did you leave?" I asked and he caressed my cheek. "Because staying with me it's dangerous. See what happened today? I don't want something like this to happen to you again" he confessed.

"Kirk," I whispered to him. "But you saved me. Please Kirk, I never forgot you. When I saw you I felt a connection between us. I want to stay by your side. I don't care if you're a vampire or I can be in danger, I trust you Kirk" I confessed. Then he leaned in, capturing my lips in a passionate kiss. The kiss felt like a promise, a promise that we both made to each other. When we finally pulled away, I saw the conflict in his eyes. "You deserve more than this," he said quietly. "If you stay with me, I don't need anything else" I whispered, closing the distance between us once more. He kissed me again, longer and more passionately. I found solace in his embrace. "Then you will stay by your side and I swear I will protect you even at the cost of dying" He said, kissing my forehead. I rest my head on his shoulder. For once, I didn't fear the shadows, rather, I found love in them.
