Chapter 4 - The truth and consequences

"VLADIAN" Anna shrieked as she pulled away from their kiss. Blood pouring from her bottom lip. Wide eyes she stared in horror at the man who was to be her husband. Vladian ran his tongue over his fangs realizing what he had done. Shit he thought to himself. He tried to grab Anna's hand and explain but she pulled back and ran. He quickly warped to where she had stopped but made sure to stay hidden as not to frighten her more. She stood against a tree sobbing. Vladian felt terrible. He slowly made his way over to her wrapping his strong arms around her waist. "I'm sorry my love. I never intended to hurt you." "Vladian" she sobbed turning to press her head into his chest. She realized he didn't have a heartbeat. "What.. are you?" "I'm immortal" Vladian replied softly. She just lay there in his arms for a moment. "I won't tell anyone" she replied tenderly. "I know darling but I have a few options I need to discuss with you since you agreed to become my wife" he beamed. She smiled shyly up at him waiting for his ultimatum. "I love you Anna. I have 3 options. 1 is to turn you. 2 is to lose you. And 3 well you said you wouldn't tell anyone so I don't have to worry about 3. "Turn me" she replied. "Anna I want you to think about this. We don't have to rush. I want you to be happy and weigh all your options and consequences first. I would love to spend eternity with you but you would have to give up your life. Your family, friends, sunlight, food. Would you be able to sacrifice that and still be happy?" Anna stared into his eyes. Without question she replied confidently, "Yes. You are my family, my best friend, my sunlight and everything I will ever need." Vladian didn't realize he was crying until Anna gently wiped a tear from his face. "I love you Vladian and no amount of time will ever be enough with you. So turn me please and let me be with you as long as I can." Vladian just beamed down at this amazing woman. His whole body swelled with love for her. How did he get so lucky? He slowly bent down cupping her face delicately and pulling her lips to his. Everytime he kissed her it was as if she had set him on fire from within. He couldn't get enough of her. He pulled back when he felt his fangs reach his lip. He pressed his forehead against hers and just breathed in her scent for a moment. "So." He said after a moment. "When do you wanna have the wedding?" Anna grinned up at him and giddily said "How about next Saturday?" Vladian smiled down at his beautiful bride and just nodded in agreement before wrapping her in his embrace.
