Thadius knelt over Lorit's body, the red line across her neck already drawing blood. He scooped her lifeless body into his arms, burying his head into her hair. Weeping, he scrunched his eyes shut, whispering to her "I'm so sorry, baby, but I had to!" He paused as the sobs racked his body. "You...you were becoming a vampire, baby, I couldn't let you live like that! Please...please forgive me?" He gently lowered her to the ground and closed sightless eyes. He laid his head on her chest and wadded her shirt as the tears flowed freely. Muffled voices shouted at him to open up as the door shook under the barrage of pounding fists. It blew inwards in a shower of sparks as armed men entered the room. Soon, four swords were trained on him, but he continued to weep, ignoring the guards surrounding him. A large man, clad in the Imperial Legion uniform, strode it and grasped by the neck, lifting him off of the women. Bringing him face to face, the man said "Thadius, you are under arrest for murder. Men, take him away." Thadius meekly allowed himself to be shackled and led out. The captain knelt down by Lorit and shook his head before standing and silently following his men out.

A time after the men left, a soft voice filled the room. "Arise, Lorit, it is time." Lorit's eyes fluttered open, the redness a stark contrast to the palor of her skin. "R...Reden?"

"Yes, my love. Your rebirth is complete and that fool Thadius is gone."

Lorit smiled and slowly stood as a figure glided over to her. She reached up a hand and carressed his smooth face, glidding her hand through his pale hair. "I have missed you, my love..."

Reden grasped her hand with one just as pale. "As I you, my love, but now we have enternity together..."

The room grew silent and empty as the two disappeared into the night.

Lorit is not a very nice lady . Poor Thadius, he was so sad because he thought he had killed her. Too bad vampires are a little harder than that to kill.

True, but Thadius should have educated himself better about vampires.
