"You don't want me to leave like them." He whispers as if it'll make a difference to my hearing, as if I won't hear it. "I know that but-"
I get angry, he shouldn't have mentioned them. "But what? You know you want to leave. I know you want to leave."
It was a long time before he spoke again. "Yet I haven't left you."
My anger dissipates into sad softness, my eyes turning blue as they do when I get upset. "I'm sorry, Michael."
He walks forward, tugging me into his arms. "I know you are, love. Just please stop killing humans. We have compulsion powers for a reason."
I wince. "I do it when I get angry, my hands itch to kill someone. To kill anything. My rage is something I can't control." ________________ Kate isn't a human being. She's a vampire, and she can't control it. Almost everyone has left her, she has trust issues. But why can't she just let go of the pain and sorrow, why can't she just stop the pretence that everything is okay? Why can't she accept the fact that she's not alone, and that Michael has been there for her for a long time? Kate needs to understand that sometimes, you just need to let go.
