Queen of Darkness

Chapter 21 Get Away

Chapter 21 Get Away

We park in the basement and I look at the time on my watch.

Me: "My time with you has come to an end... And I have not even told you all of it... You have to decide if you're going to write my auto biography or walk away"

Alex: "If I decide to walk away... Will you let me go?"

Me: "That was the agreement"

Alex: "I know that was the agreement but will you honor that agreement"

Me: "I have not given you any reason not to trust me Alex, sure I will be disappointed but I will honor our Agreement"

Alex: "I don't understand"

I have been staring in front of me the entire time but with Alex last comment I can't help but look at him, waiting for him to explain what it is that he doesn't understand"

Alex: "If vampires are all about keeping their existence secret, having all those laws and going to those extends to ensure it... Your auto biography will reveal everything, it will expose thousands and thousands of years' worth of secrets and conspiracies... It's against the council rules"

Me: "And you've only come to that conclusion now?"

Alex: "No!" his tone sarcastic.

Me: "Well like I said... I'm tired of running. If I'm going out, might as well go out with a bang. What better way as being the one to expose the whole truth.

Everyone wants to leave some kind of legacy right, to be remembered in history, to make a difference... I've lived for 304 years and I've accomplished nothing"

Alex: "Most people don't accomplish anything... They go through life just existing, just surviving and when your times up, that's it... It's over"

Me: "Yes well, maybe that's precisely why I want to make a huge impact before I go... I want people to remember my name years from now like people remember Hitler and Ganges Khan"

Alex: "They were killers, you do know that... People remember them for the wrong reasons. You're not like that"

Me: "You don't know that"

Alex: "I think I do. For the past two and a half weeks I've sat and listen to you tell me about your life. I've heard about all the awful things you went through and you still helped people where ever you could, to me that shows you're a good person... Or vampire "

Me: "Didn't you think all vampires were monsters, just a few days ago?"

Alex: "Maybe not all vampires, right?... Tell you what, I'll give you another week to tell me more, besides I want to know more about the werewolves"

Me: "You figured that out huh?"

Alex: "Well yeah, it's kind of obvious"

Me: "You needed so much convincing about vampires but you can call out werewolves within a few hours... Go figure...

Well I didn't know they were werewolves I've never encountered the beasts I was warned against since I can remember... "

Shadow had laughed at me admitting my fear of wolves and I didn't understand why... He also didn't tell me why, he just shrugged it off and offered me some of the food on the table.

I had some toast, eggs and cheese to take away the edge but I was still hungry...I wanted blood.

Shadow told me to get some rest, they had to tend to business that night and in the morning we would go to the station.
