For the first time she felt the pain in full force. She felt what he felt and somehow just knew he needed her. Flashes of a face, an image, but who was it? She curled a little as she tried not to think of the pain that was raging through her like a tidal wave. Images, a face, rather a face like hers like his, and yet it wasn’t. They flashed deep in her mind but so fast as to barely be able to glimpse them and then she knew, “Lewis” she said softly, suddenly she understood. The pain that she felt, that Vincent felt was pain that belonged to neither of them. They where feeling the pain that belonged to Lewis.

What happened next happened quickly for her. He pulled her to him, not forcefully, but she had let him. Some part of her knew that he needed this, that this would make the pain between them go away. She felt the sting of his fangs as they bit into her neck and then the pain of it washed away, a feeling of comfort and pleasure took over her as she let the moment be taken. She felt her mind opened in that moment as memories of her past and memories of something else….where those his? Lewis? They where gone before she could really even tell.

Fear started to well inside her and then suddenly it was gone. She could hear him even though she knew that the voice he had spoken with hadn’t come from his mouth. Was he in her head? He had asked her to trust him without saying a word and in a moment, through the shared connection. He wanted her to stay, he wanted her to know him, for him to know her. In a moment she knew he could take this all away from her, make the memory of the moment disappear and she could if she wanted, leave. It only took her a short moment to know, she didn’t want to leave. For the first time in her life, Blaire didn’t want to run.

Through all the emotions, fear then no fear, pain and then no pain more thoughts then she had ever had at one time in her life. Eventually it all became to much, even for her. In the moments that she decided that she would stay suddenly her mind had said it had enough. She felt herself slip into unconsciousness and then, as everything around her went black, she knew nothing more of the moment.
