Chapter 3

Mackenzie bends down, and kisses him. Jenos blinks his eyes and wonders what the hell is going on. She breaks it off and sits up straight on his stomach. “You look surprised.” Jenos stumbles on his words, “Well, yeah, I guess, I mean, what the hell happened?” She lightly laughs at him. “Well, we kissed. You do know what kissing means don’t you?” He glares at her. “Of course I remember what it means. I’m wondering WHY it happened.” She leans down on him and playfully licks his cheek. “Because, I’m having fun toying with you. It’s been a while since I’ve last done this.”

“Oh really, are you sure that you’re in control?” She looks at him and is taken by surprise as he kisses her back. She closes her eyes and enjoys it. She thinks, “Gods, it’s been so long since I was kissed back.” He wraps his arms around her and breaks the kiss so he can start to lightly nibble and kiss on her ear. She looks at him, slightly saddened that she must kill him. She thinks, “Even if I have to kill him, I can at least enjoy him while he’s still here.” She licks his cheek and rubs her hand on his chest. She speaks, “You know, it’s been so long since anyone has actually responded back.” He stops and looks at her. “What, with your looks? You gotta be kidding me.” She shakes her head. “Nope, I haven’t because I’m a vampire.” “Ah.” He kisses her cheek and hugs her. “I’m sorry that that happens to you.” She shrugs it off. “I’ve learned to accept it.” “True, but still…” She shakes her head. “It’s not so bad.” She kisses his forehead and starts to get up. “You must leave however, I want to be left alone.”

Jenos doesn’t let her go. “No, I told you that I’m not going to leave here if you’re lonely, and wanting to be alone implies that.” She looks at him and sees how serious he is about it. “Really, so you’ll stay here with the person that killed your father?” “Yeah, I don’t want you to have to be alone like I am.” She begins to wonder whether or not to kill him like she planned. She thinks, “What is with this guy? I’ve killed his father, the person he said that he’d avenge if he had to, and he wants to keep me company. As much as I think this to be a trick, I don’t really want to be alone. Alright, I’ll keep him alive a little bit longer.”

“Fine, just let me get up will you?” He lets go of Mackenzie and gets up after her. She tells him to follow her to her resting chamber. Jenos is led to a room not too far from the study, just two doors down. Mackenzie turns the knob and enters the room. She goes to the night stand and takes off her earrings. “So, what do you think of my place?”

Jenos looks around the room. There is very little in the way of furnishings. The bed and the nightstand are the only things on the far side of the room. On the left is a desk with a chair and some papers on it. As he looks around, she reaches in one of the drawers and draws a tranquilizer gun. She turns around and fires one into him. He jerks at the feel of it and pulls it out just as he is hit by a second, and then a third. He falls to one knee and groggily looks at her.

“Why, what?” She puts the gun down and knees in front of him. She kisses him and says, “Because it makes it easier to probe you.” She grabs Jenos' head and focuses on probing into his mind. She looks for his purpose in coming after her. “Yes, you did come here to kill me.” Satisfied, she is about to stop and kill him when she notices one of his more recent thoughts. “Yeah, so she killed Father, but she’s as lonely, if not more so, than I am. Damn she’s good looking too, hard to kill a pretty face. Shit, don’t do this, don’t do this.. Humans can’t fall in love with vampires… can they?”
