Innocent Darkness

Emotionless Beasts

I sat on the floor against the bed sobbing into my knees.

"Please, Nadine, I love you." Brent pleaded from behind the door.

I zipped to the door and opened it, looking at him with a hard glare. "Don't say that to me."

Brent tried to take a step closer but I gave him a soft shove on his shoulders with my hands. I started to step towards him, making him back up from me.

"Don't ever say you love me. You lied to me. You could of told me EVERYTHING!" I started to yell at him as tears continued to roll down my cheeks.

"WE WERE MADE TO BE TOGETHER! TO FIND OUT I WAS DESTINED TO BE YOURS FOR FOREVER IS SICKENING THAT YOU LIED TO ME!"

My shouting had caused Issac and Charles to come upstairs to see what the commotion was about. Master Liam had gotten dressed and was standing behind me in the bedroom doorway.

"I didn't know I needed you in my life until you came into it! I didn't know that a piece was missing until I found that piece. You could of TOLD ME about you, what you all, ALL OF THIS!"

Brent tried to take a step forward but both Issac and Charles put a hand on either side of Brent's shoulders to hold him back. I had also stopped moving forward toward him and Master Liam was standing behind me as well.

"You willingly pushed me out of your life for no reason. You could of told me when you spent days away from me. I felt alone when you were gone like I didn't know if you'd actually come back home or not."

I was choking on my own tears at this point. I was monologuing like those girls in chick flicks that pour their hearts out their love interest. But I deserved this moment for everything I went through, I was entitled to monologue for once.

"Since I became a vampire, I've been around death and I've caused death. And I thought that Trent was different because he was straight forward the moment he turned me. And maybe he didn't know how to train me with this 'inner vampiric side'." I said making sarcastic air quotes.

I started to collapse to the floor as I continued to cry even more. Master Liam caught me and gently sat me down, as well as sitting with me trying to be comforting. I continued to sob before I turned and buried my face into Master Liam's chest. I felt him wrap his arms around me trying his best at soothing my heartache.

"I feel so emotionless towards him." I said out loud about Brent but my words were being directed to Master Liam.

"I feel as that empty feeling of losing him was never there. I feel like I never had a connection to him in the first place." I said between my sobs.

"Brent, come on, lets give her some space." Charles said in an attempt to dampen the situation.

I pulled myself out of Master Liam's embrace and he held onto my arms to help me back onto my feet. "I should go too. I don't belong here and I really am a burden here."

"Young one, you are far from a burden here. Your presence and cheerfulness is enjoyed by this household." Master Liam tried to say with some comfort and enthusiasm in his voice.

I started to pull away but he quickly tightened his grip on my arms. "Please, I really should be with other vampires. Maybe Lady Delilah will take me in, since in some odd way she's like a mother-in-law to me."

Master Liam wouldn't release his grip of my arms as I fought to pull away.

"Please let me go, I have no reason to be here and I am not going to stay here against my will. You can not ke--." I quickly felt one of his hands take a firm grip on my neck and I was suddenly pinned against the wall.
