Chapter 6

Jamie

I knew not what I just did, but I could feel that this night would soon put a barrier between Blume and I. I knew not what it was, but something seemed different now. I knew not if it was Blume or within my own soul. Something just felt different about the entire situation. I must say it did feel good, and Blume truly does look beautiful when she lets her guard down like that... Why do I think in such a manner? I just cheated on my wife with my beloved best friend. To make it even worse I consider Blume like a sister. I hold my head trying to think of the crime I just commited against Mercy. I have betrayed her. How will I tell her what I have done?

 I get out of bed and look through the witch's cabinets. I smelled something earlier that I felt like I desperately needed. I rummage through and finally find a bottle of rum. I pull the cork out and drink. I hath never had a drop of alcohol in my life, I made a great mistake. This is delicious! This even has some of the taste of blood. Interesting, this could possibly be used in my substitute for blood. No one need ever know the ingredients. As long as it helps vampires who feel the same as I. Tis not fair for us to have to be so barbaric. We should not be this way. If that is what they want to be so be it, but I know there must be some out there who wish to be more than this monster. Some that are more enlightened.

As I put my dress on I stare at Blume who is still sleeping soundly. She is beautiful, truly she is. I feel horrible that I took her so. Yet she said it was okay... I know not what to think. In any way I should get my wife from that cabin. I put my cloak on then leave quietly. Perhaps I should have woken Blume. I will wake her when I get back if she still slumbers. I do not wish for Mercy to see. That would be an absolute disaster. As the cold sun starts to rise I put my hood over my head. The clouds bring shade, but the punishing rays still harshly beat my skin. I walk faster to the cabin. When I arrive I knock a few times before entering.

I find Mercy there sleeping peacefully against the wall. I shake my head and pick her up in my arms. She feels as light as a feather. She stirs some then her green eyes open. She looks up at me then cups my cold cheek.

"Good morning." I smile down at her and kiss her palm.

"Good morning indeed my sweet. Time to come with me." She smirks then I let her down. She grabs her cloak. I notice that a certain part of her dress were missing.

"No corset young lady?" Mercy giggles and lets her hair out her bonnet. Her fiery hair falls beautifully over her shoulders.

"I am no longer tied to Salem, so I can be free at last. Tis how a woman should live." She comes back over to me and starts kissing my neck. I gulp as her hands run over my chest.

"I missed your touch at night. It were hard not to weep for you." I put my arms around her. She sighs and kisses my cheek.

"I swear to you... Salem will burn for what they hath done to us. I shall make sure of it." I look down at her then kiss her. The witch was right about Mercy. She would take vengeance on the town. Deep within me there is something that would not dare stop her, yet there is still apart of me that does want to at least protect my parents.

"Soon my love we will never have to see Salem again. Stay your hand for now... Perhaps I can turn your rage into something better." She tilts her head to the side.

"What would that be?"

"Love, I am hoping tonight that we may finally seal our marriage vows." Her face brightens up and her arms clench tightly around me. I laugh and rub her back.

"I that as an aye." She laughs and kisses me. I hold her tight to me. When she looks back up at me she cups my face within her soft palms.

"I love you." I kiss her palms.
