I won't let her become a vampire. This beautiful, innocent woman deserves to be kept pure and not have her soul poisoned by the evil that has consumed...me. One day i will have to watch her as an old woman in her bed its true. And then eventually I will stand over her grave. While time moves forward I stand still. But right now I don't care about that. If I had a soul she would be my soul mate. And I love her exactly as she is and I want to know her for the rest of her life. RachelIt hurts me to. It makes me nervous. I should be there with you - that's always howwe do this." I've got people all around, and you know if you show yourself at all hewill bolt. We agreed that this bastard would go down.

Leah was overseeingthe installation of heat pumps in the house and always had somequestions. Kelly had taken on working through those. Don't judge already." Yeah, whatever." Shawna ran her hand gently down Marcus' back, feeling the ridged scars there.
