The trilogy of Gotham.

Part twelve

Am lying on Alec laps as he moves the strands of my hair. This small intimacy makes me forget my pain, the truth about him or my current location.

Tears still flood my eyes amidst the hiccups.

"Your safe now," he repeats. "I'll always protect you Kathryn. Forever," my heart leaps by that sudden word for ever

"Is it true?" I ask him.

Catching him off guard, his hand stops playing with my hair, "I didn't want you to know it this way."

"But how could you hide search a big thing from me," I jacked away from his laps. Now thinking of the mysterious date, red wine in actual sense blood, his pale skin, very beautiful eyes and ancient house.

He doesn't reply.

But just looks at me. Am in a trance. How does he do these things to me just by gazing into my eyes. I feel my legs go cold,my heartbeat rising and in an instant, am in his hands. I could feel he too is affected, by his reaction when we're close contact. Then my hands move, holding his hair.

We kiss.

A million thoughts fly away and all I think about is Alec so close to me. Kissing me. The love of my life.

In other words he does make me feel things I shouldn't right now.

I sit on his laps now deeply engrossed in the kiss. He moves his hands all over my back, just only his touch feels like being in cloud nine. Then the kisses.

Then I hear a wail.

I jack away from Alec.

"What could be lurking within?" standing.

"No your safe now, with me."

"Am not sure about that," I reply noticing my surroundings once more. Its indeed very late except for the only light from the torch.

"Seriously!" pointing to his lips and I fake an angry face. "Fine let me walk you home."

I retrieve my contents from the ground and sling on my bag, off we go. Alec leads the way since it seems he knows every turn we take even without need for a flash light.

"Do you think it could be Vondrich behind all this?" starting the topic.

"I don't know," Is all he says.

"Isn't he supposed to be your brother?"

"Nope!"

We walk in silence after, Alec on the lead. In other words we're so deep into the woods since I don't recognize anything as yet. Probably its miles. I suddenly feel so cold due to the woodland breeze.

"Are you cold?" Alec suddenly halts.

"No am good, remember am the one with a coat here. It does help."

"Then why are you so tense?"

"A vampire is taking lead."

He turns looking straight into my eyes.
"But he could be in love with you."

Am left shell shocked, gaping at that admission as he turns around and continues the journey. Then I trip over something and fall face down to a log direct to my face.

No not a log, a decaying log.

A corpse!!!

The body of Ms Smith and I make the loudest scream.

Its 1:28am right now as I type this chapters but I believe hard earned efforts yield better results. Xoxo
