I've Fallen For A Killer

Chapter 16

Chapter 16:

It had been a couple of days now since the incident Elizabeth and Damon had in the living room.

Another boring day at the station for Elizabeth as she sat at her neat and tidy desk after a full day of cleaning and organising her draws and her entire work space. She had sorted her computer files, her paper files, pens, pencils and absolutely everything that lay upon her once cluttered, now immaculate, desk.

She sat at her desk, simply writing a couple notes before she left for home at 7pm. Elizabeth twirled her pen in her hand as she was delievered yet another file from a colleague.

"The boss wants you to do some background checks on the suspects we have now in the murder case, have it done by tomorrow will you?" He muttered in a grumpy tone as he then began to walk away, not really bothering to wait for Elizabeth's reply. She simply nodded and looked through the small file...

'No!' Her thoughts exclaimed, her jaw dropped as she looked at the picture, the name... Damon...

With one deep breath she collected her things, shoved the file into her bag and made her way out of the station, acting as normal as she possibly could, given the current situation, and began to walk home.

'Shit! I can't believe I decided to walk!' She rushed home as quickly as she could, and just as she seen the house in sigh, she bolted for the door, ripping it open and slamming it shut.

"DAMON!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, seeing him run in she flung her arms around him.

Damon was in shock, his eyes wide as she held her close to his chest.

"Hey babe... What's wrong?" He asked in a plea, his masculine tone masking the worry and concern that was hidden deep within his voice.

Elizabeth looked to him with an apologetic look, her eyes wide with fear and her bottom lip trembling and quivering, trying her best not to cry.

"They have leads on you... I'm so sorry." That was it, she broke, her eyes now pushing the tears out, as she hid her face from Damon.

It took a while to process what Elizabeth had said. Damon soon looked to her, pulling her closer and placing a finer under her chin, making her look up at him as he placed a gentle, loving kiss on her trembling lip, attempting to calm her down; which finally worked, he smiled at her and pulled her into a warm, tender hug.

"Baby girl you knew this would happen at some point... I guess this is where I have to leave you.... I'm so so sorry." He whispered, his heart breaking, tearing slowly apart at each word he spoke of having to leave her.

"NO! You aren't going alone! Screw my job! I'm coming with you!" Elizabeth said, clutching onto his shirt for dear life, her tear stained face now giving a look of pure determination. She was going with him, and that was the absolute end of it, Damon knew that, which is why he chose to smile rather than protest to her outrageous plan.

"Fine..." Was all he could say in a simply tone with a simple shrug.

"NEVER MIND NO! I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO PROTECT YOU WITH MY LIFE! SO I WILL AND THAT IS THE E-" Elizabeth was shouting, until what he said finally registered in her brain.

"Wait.... What? You aren't gonna protest to it?" She asked, her face filled with shock.

Damon shook his head, indicating he was going to raise no fight over this matter.

"I won't win if I did, so go pack and lets get out of here~!" Damon said with a slight chuckle, turning her around and smacking her ass, receiving a small yelp from Elizabeth.

"Go on~!" He ordered, she followed his orders and ran to go pack, just as he did the same.

~~~~~~~~~

After an hour or so, they had packed the essentials and set off on the car journy, getting as far away from London as they possibly could.

"Where are we going to go?" Damon asked as Elizabeth was driving along the motorway. Her eyes fixated on the road ahead as she gave his question some consideration and thought.

Elizabeth shrugged slightly, but thought of only a few ideas.

"I wouldn't mind living in the country side, like the Lake District~?" She suggested, giving him a quick glance with a sweet smile. Damon smiled back and nodded.

"I like that plan~! We could hire a Caravan... And stay there at a quiet campsite... It will take a day or so to get there, but we have all our money so we should be okay... Right?" Damon asked as he put a CD in, the song 'Send me to Hell' by Our Last Night came on.

She smiled and nodded, listening to the music she couldn't help but smile.

"Yes... We can do that~! We have plenty of money to last us the whole year~!" Elizabeth chimed, tapping her hand on the steering wheel as she listened to the music.

'So this is where my life as a criminal begins... Hiding a wanted man for murder, oh how ashamed people would be of me... But do I really care? Since when did anyone really care about me? Never! That's when! I have Damon! Damon loves me and he knows I would do anything for him, just like he would do anything for me, our love is too strong... We are now are in this together, till the very end~!' Elizabeth, smiled at the thought of her and Damon being together till the end, she didn't care if she went to prison, as long as he was there... Nothing else mattered to her.

Damons smile was bright, he couldn't believe Elizabeth was risking all of this for him, her life, her job... Everything was going to be lost... For a murdering low life like himself... He couldn't help but feel guilty now, that he had ripped the chance of her having a normal, happy life, and replaced it with a one or running and hatred.

'How could I be so selfish? Ripping away everything she had worked so hard for... What kind of monster am I? Oh a murdering one... But I would regret turning her away... I protest and she won't listen... I never forced her to come with me... It was her choice... So why should I be bothered? Is this love? Is that caring? I have never felt this before... So why now? Why to her? I must have really fallen for her... I do love her.'

After a small while of silence, Damon finally spoke.

"Elizabeth..." He said in a gentle tone.

"Yeah? What is it?" Elizabeth asked softly, her eyes still fixed on the lamp-lit motorway.

"I love you~!" Damon whispered, causing Elizabeth to smile shyly, a small red blush creeping onto her cheeks as she drove the car.

"I love you too Damon~!" She replied in all honesty, knowing now... Is where their relationship, began.
