You can bite me

You can bite me part 17

I paid the bill and thanked the cook. It was still dark out, but the sun would soon be coming up. We returned to our cabin. The twins had already slid into their sleeping bags that rested on their beds.

Lillian and I stripped naked to get into our night clothes. We were both tired from all that we had done. I kissed and hugged Lillian, then helped her get into her sleeping bag.

"Good rest my darling," she said to me.

"Good night," I said to her.

She closed the leather flap and fell asleep. I closed all the curtains in the cabin so I could sleep. After pulling the covers over my head I fell asleep too. Some time later the train had made a stop. Peaking out the window I learned that we had stopped for water, fuel and other travelers. I turned over and fell back to sleep.

The next thing I knew Lillian was waking me up with a kiss.

"Did any thing happen when we were asleep?" she asked.

"They stopped to refuel the train and took on passengers." I answered.

We closed up the beds and sat up the table. Looking out the windows, I saw the lights from the farm houses, they twinkled in the distant. Last week if you had told me that I'd be on a train with a beautiful vampire hunting a holy silver chalice and heading to Tibet, I wouldn't have believed it.

"Would you like to read one of the books we brought for the trip?" Lillian asked.

"Not right now. I need to check all of my weapons, especially the explosives ones." I said.

I sat my large suitcase on the table and slowly opened it. Everything was still in place, even the insulation on the exploding tips for the arrows of the mini-crossbow. All the silver bullets and knives were in place, even my crucifix.

"Why so many weapons," Lillian asked.

"I'd rather have more than not enough, plus I have to be ready for Count Vondrake " I said.

"I've heard that he's a ruthless fighter," Lillian said.
