The Slave of a Vampire (PLZ Wait to read changing to 3rd person +editing :))

Chapter 27

Damien sounded as if he was about to cry. He was begging me to come back, to forgive him when we both knew he did nothing wrong. Regardless, I wasn't coming back "home". I could never go back. So many things had happened I don't even know who I am anymore. I felt as if my body was changing all the time. At times, I wanted to tell Damien that I loved him and that I made the wrong choice to leave and other times, I didn't want to say anthing, just silently suffer. Now was one of those times. I was just depressed from everything that has happened to me. I couldn't take it anymore, I didn't want this life. I wanted my life, my old life, but I could't have it and I never will. My life has changed to much and normal would never even exist for me. Finally, wollowing in my own disgust and suffering I gained the courage to respond.

"I can't."

"Why?!" He said with a hint of shock.

"I just can't."

"Claire, please don't do this to me! We can talk about it. I know I've been an ass, but please don't leave me. I need you. I'll do anything for you."

He begged me to come back once again, but I ignored it. My heart was broken and even still I had to show him I was serious. I didn't want anything from him and I sounded bitter in my repsonse.

"Anything?" I said venom coursing through my viens.

"Then don't look for me and don't call me. I can't do this anymore. I don't want you. Get it through your head. You make me sick. Everything you do is to hurt me. I am no fool even when you told me that...." Tears began to stream down my cheek, "Even when you told me that you loved me. You are a liar!"

"I can't just let you leave, Claire. Not when I'm in love with-"

"And don't say that to me ever again! I hate you."

I hung up the phone abruptly and in my rage, I smashed against a tree. The screen broke, but that wasn't enough. I began smashing it repeatedly until parts fell off one after another eventually leaving only a small heap of plastic and metal in my hand. When my phone was broken, I fell to the ground and began to sob.

All of a sudden, I felt a soft hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Leon. When I saw him, I wiped my tears and got up. I needed a hug so I hugged him and continued to cry. He held me silently and let me cry on his shoulder until I couldn't anymore.

"There there. Everything is gonna be okay. Do you want to talk about it?" He said patting my head.

I nodded. I needed to get some things off my chest.

"Yes only with you, but what I say must be a secret between the two of us. If-"

"Let me guess. If I tell anyone you may have to kill me right?" He joked knowing that I wasn't going to say anything even close to that.

I just shook my head and began to tell him.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After absorbing all of the information, I told Leon he just looked at me with a concerned look.

"Wow, so that's why you were out in the woods in the first place?"

I nodded.

"If it makes you feel better, I would have never done those kinds of things to anyone especially a woman. Men are supposed to respect them and treat them like queens, not like the gum on their shoes. I don't understand how you put up with a life like that for so long."

Then Leon paused.

"Can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Go ahead."
