Innocence, is the most precious thing in the world to a vampire.  I know what your think, vampires go around drinking the blood of pretty little virgins, right?  Well, most of us don't.  I fell in love, and I mean fell in love with an innocent.  She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.  Her name was Anna.
    Let us go to the night we met.  I just came into town.  I thought "Another small name less town.  With a bunch of narrow minded, poor excuses for humans.  And they call me a monster."  It was about 1am, I was hungry, I had to feed.  I went to a local bar, and there she was.  She was waiting on some tables.  I sat in her section to be sure to talk to her.  At first I didn't  know why I was so taken in by her, but I was.  "Hello Sir.  What can I get you."  She said with a smile.  I almost couldn't speak.  "I'll have a Bloody Mary."  "I'll be right back with your drink."  She smiled again, her smile should be illegal.  "Here's your drink Sir." "Thank you." "Your welcome."  Ok her voice and smile should be illegal.  She went back to her tables and about 10 minute later two guys walked in.  I could tell they meant trouble.  I read their thought, they were planing on attacking and raping the next pretty girl they saw.  An they saw her.  I stood and waited for her to leave I read her thoughts and found she was walking home in about 10 minutes.  I paid and left only to wait in the parking lot shadows.  She walked out and was walking to her car.  As she did this the men came out after her with knives, ready to attack.  She turned just in time to have a knife pointed at her.  "Hello little lady.  Do you want to die."  She just shook her head no.  "Well, then your coming with us and don't make a sound."  I jumped out of the shadows and kicked them both down and began beating on them both.  She was screaming, but no one came out.  I won the fight and went to her and put my hands her shoulders "It's ok now."  She looked up at me with her big green eyes and said "Your cut."  I looked down at my stomach to see my black shirt soaked in blood, my blood.  I had not feed so it would take longer to heal.  "So I am."  All of a sudden one of the men hit upside the head with something.  I turned around and attacked once more.  I knocked him out again.  "Are you all right?"  "Yes, Anna I'm fine.  More importantly how are you?"  "I'm fine.  How did you know my name?"  "Your name tag Anna."  "Oh."  All of a sudden I felt weak and passed out.  I woke up in her bedroom, bandaged up.  I got up and put on my trench coat, forgetting my shirt and went to leave, but then I saw her in the leaving room curled up in a ball on the couch.  She looked so sweet, I could'nt just leave her there, so I picked her up and put her in bed.  I saw a pad next to the bed, I got a pen and wrote a quick note "Thank you."  then I ran out.
    It was late in a cold winter mourning.  (Oh and vampires can go out in the sunlight, but It's not our natural time.)  I went to the nearest pay phone which was about a ten minutes walk and called a cab. I got back to my hotel at about 2 and took a shower.  I tried so hard not to think of her, a vampire in love with a mortal, that's not how it's supposed to be.  Then my cell phone rang "Hello." "Edge where are you bro?" "At the hotel already."  "Did you book me a room?" "Of course Christian." "I missed you bro, I can't wait to see you." "I missed you too, but this time we won't part."  I'm sure that conversation sounded a little weird.  Let me sum it up. Christian in my blood brother, which means we have the same sire.  He and I split ways about 6 months before so Christian could find his first feedling.  By this I mean he went to find the love of his life and make her a vampire.  He didn't find her, so we decided to meet up again and look for both of our first feedlings together.  Christian was going to be here until tomorrow night.  I began thinking of why we split up and thought "Could it be that Anna is my feedling?  The books on it always said once you've seen her you will know it, by the not forgetting about her.  I had to see her."  I went to where she worked only to find that she was not working tonight.  I asked the owner "Where does she live?"  Even though I was there I didn't remember the address.  "That depends.  What is it worth to you?"  "A hundred dollars." I said showing him the money.  "She live at 1249 East 56st. "Thank you."  I said handing him the money.  "One more thing those guys who attacked her do you know where they live?"  "What guys who attacked her?" "The guys last night, I know you know."  I said reading his thoughts.  "I'm sorry Sir.  I don't, now please leave."  I took off my sunglasses and looked him into his eyes and said "Where are they?"  "They live at 25 Aaron Road."  "Thanks again.  If you call to say I'm coming to see your friends I'll come back here a snap your neck like a pencil."  I walked out I went to Aaron Road and found the house.  I rang the bell and one of them opened the door  "Who the hell are you?" "Your murder."  I said biting into his neck.  Then ripping his throat out.  I did the same to the other guy feeding on his blood and then I left.  I knew no one would check the house for about a week by then, Christian and I will be gone.  I went back to the hotel and cleaned myself up, then I hopped in the car to find her.  I got to her door and rang the bell "Your back, you left your shirt here."  Her eyes were blood shot from crying and she was shaking. "I almost did not answer the door.  I'm glad I did thank you."  "Don't mention it.  Are you all right?"  "I'll be fine.  Would you like to come in or are you just going to stand in my doorway."  I smiled at her and stepped into the house.  "Would you like some coffee?"  "No thanks, have you eaten yet?" "No, I haven't." "Let me take you out to dinner." "No thanks I don't feel up to it."  "Please, it's the least I can do." "Ha the least you could do, you saved my life.  You did plenty Sir."  "My name is Edge.  You brought me, a stranger, back to your house and bandaged me up.  I owe you one." "No, you don't Edge." "Yes, I do." "No, you don't." "Ok fine then because I saved your life let me take you out." "I look and feel like shit.  Not to night, but thank you." "Fine then I'll go out while you take a shower and pick something up." "You don't take no for answer do you?" "Not in this case.  Come on please?" "I'll right." "Good go take a shower."
    I went to a Jewish deli and got Mothza Ball soup (because I knew it would make her feel better), rolls and cold cuts.  When I got back to the house she was wearing black jeans, a spaghetti strap black tank top and boots.  "You look great.  I brought Mottza Ball soup and cold cuts." "I love Mothza Ball soup.  Thank you." "Anytime doll, now sit and let me heat this up." "No, it's ok..." "Shhhhh, let me."  She shook her head and sat down.  In about ten minutes the food was ready and we sat down to eat.  (Oh and before you ask yes we can eat and drink like mortals, it just does not fill us up.)  She didn't touch her soup.  "I thought you like Mothza Ball soup.  Whats wrong?" "Why are you doing this?  Why did you help me last night?" "What was I supposed to do let you get attacked by those men last night. That maybe what everyone else would do but not me.  I could tell the second you came over to get my order you were a good person and when I saw that happening I had to help you.  As for tonight I just had to see you again."  "Why did you have to see me?" "You intrigue me." "How?" "The fact you could be as nice to a stranger to bring them into your home in there time of need.  Not many would do that.  Then bandage me up." "But you saved my life I thought it was the least I could do." "Yes, and you brought some happiness into my life.  Please eat."  She sighed and began eating.  We talked more well we ate and I found out that she worked there during nights and taught poetry down at the high school during the day.  I even got to read some of her work.  It was great. "I heard teacher salaries were bad but there so bad you have to work in a place like that?" "No, I do it to help a friend.  She works their all the time, we normally have shifts together.  Yesterday I was filling in for someone." "Good friend." "Thanks." "Did you grow up here?" "No, I grew up in New York." "Oh, so why did you come here?" "To be with my best friend." "Cool, I would like to meet her." "Sure, but not tonight she won't get back from New York till 12 and I don't want to bug her right after she got back." "Ok.  Hey I got an idea, what are you doing tomorrow night?" "Nothing." "Would you like to go out to dinner with my brother and I?"  You could bring your friend." "I have a feeling you won't be taking no or any answer so yes." "Great, you ladies pick the place, heres my number so you can call me later." "Ok.  Your leaving?"  "I think I should, you look tired." "No please stay." "All right, lets watch a movie." "Ok what do you want to watch?" "Do you have the Crow?" "Of course."  She popped the tape in and turned down the lights.  "Do you want some coffee, tea or popcorn?" "Some popcorn would be great and coffee." "Ok I'll be right out with it." "Hurry your missing the movie."  About 5 minutes later she came out with the popcorn and coffee.  Then she sat down next to me about a half hour into the movie she fell asleep in my arms.  I didn't want to movie in fear of waking her so I just got comfortable and fell asleep with her.  The next morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes.  I walked into the kitchen "Honey you baked." She smiled   "Blueberry or apple?" "I get to choose?  Apple." "Apple it is then.  I was just about to wake you." "Oh then I guess it's a good thing I woke up." "How's your cut?" "It's better. "The funny thing was when I checked it was just a flesh wound.  The way it looked like it was bleeding I thought it would be deeper and I would have to take you to a hospital." "Yea that is weird.  How did you get me in the house?" "My cousin helped me bring you in, he lives in the house next story, and you're heavy." "I knew you could not lift me by your pretty little self." She blushed and looked down at the floor.  "Red looks good on you."  She started laughing and said "Thank you." "If you really want to thank me you'll stop looking at the floor."  She looked at me and said "Better?" "Much."  I walked towards her and said "But this would make it perfect." My lips descended on her, her arms slipped around my neck and we kissed.  My cell phone broke the kiss.  "Sorry hold that thought.  Hello." "Edge where are you?" "At a friends house Christian.  Are you at the hotel?" "Yes, I got in early.  Whats your friends name?" "Her name is Anna."  Anna set the food down on the table.  "You sound a little mad.  Did I interrupt something?  Hint! Hint! " "Cute baby bro.  I have to go eat, I'll see you in a couple of hours." "Ok, bye." "Oh and tonight we're having dinner with Anna and her friend." "All right, talk to you later." "Bye.  Sorry about that.  It was my brother, we have not seen each other for a while.  We decided to meet up in this town." "It's ok." "Do you have a brother or sister?" "I did, have a sister.  She died along with my parents in a car crash a year ago."  She said with her eyes filled with tears.  "I'm sorry I didn't know."  I said taking her into my arms.  "It's ok, I'll be fine.  Lets eat."  Then her phone rang "You eat well I get this.  Hello." "I had the most terrible couple of days." "I'll tell you later.  You want to come over and have some pancakes?" "Bye.  That was my best friend Lisa." "Cool, I get to meet her?" "Yes, you do.  I should put more pancakes on." "No eat I'll do it." "No, I'll..." "Shhhh eat."  She smiled and sat down  "What kind and how many?" "Blueberry and 2."
    Ten minutes later Lisa came.  She was just as sweet as Anna.  Anna told her what happened while we ate and our plans for the evening.  She was ok with it.  I left the girls and went to see Christian. "Hey bro!"  I said walking into his adjoining room. "How are you?" he said well we hugged "I'm great.  How are you?" "Same here, now tell me about your friend.  Are you feeding off of her or are you doing her and feeding off her." "Christian, I have not touched her!  I think she is the one." "What?  Where has this come from?"  I told him what happened between us and how I couldn't forget her as much as I tried. "Edge if you can't forget her make her one of us." "That would be condemning her to this hell." "This hell would be more stand able for you if she was in it." "What if she hates me for it?" "She is your one.  She can't hate you, thats the way it works." "But what if she does?" "I told you she won't.  Where are we going tonight?" "I don't know, I'm waiting for them to call." "I say we go some place special." "Where?  You've seen this town."  The phone rang "Hello!" "Hey Edge!" "How are you Anna?" "I'm good." "So where are we going?" "There is this little Italian restaurant called "La Villa".  Is that ok?" "What ever you want.  How should we dress?" "Theres no dress code." "Ok great I'll pick you up at 7?" "Sure." "We'll see you then." "Bye!" "Bye Anna!"  I hung up the phone "I can't wait to see her.  Be nice to her friend." "You know I will." "What time is it?" "Five." "Lets get ready, feed and then go get them." "Ok."  We did just that and then went to Anna's house. "Edge she lives in a house all by herself?" "Yea, I guess." "Big house for 1 person." "Yea I was thinking that the other day but didn't want ask after she said her parents died."  I rang the bell.  She opened the door, she looked amazing.  She was wearing black flares, a silk black shit with silver Chinese writing, and black boots.  Her chocolate brown hair was up in chop sticks with velvet roses on top of them.  Her dreamy hazel eyes were filled with sadness.  "You look amazing!"  She smiled and said "Thank you."  Christian cleared his throat "Oh Anna this is my brother Christian." "Hi."  she said extending her hand for a hand shake. "Hello." "Lisa will be here in a few minutes would you two please come in and sit down." "Sure."  Christian said. "Would you like something to drink?" "No thanks Anna."  I said.  Just then the door bell rang.  Anna answered it, it was Lisa "Hey nice car."  Lisa said. "Thanks."  I said. "Let me just get my coat and then we're off."  We left the house and I helped her into the car.  Christian did the same to Lisa and then drove off to the restaurant.  We got to the restaurant about 20 minutes later.  I could already tell Christian liked Lisa, by the way he looked at her.  We helped the girls out of the car and got our table.  We looked over the menu and ordered, then talked.  "So Anna do you live all alone in that big house?"  Christian said.  "Yes, I do.  It belonged to my Grandparents."  I knew by the way she said it they were dead too.  I said "How long have you two ladies been friends?" to get off the depressing topics.  They said in unison "Since 9th grade."  Then they looked at each other and laughed.  "We do the a lot." Anna said.  "Really?"  Christian said laughing.  "Yea."  Anna said.  Christian asked "Lisa where are you from?" "Brooklyn, New York.  Where are you two from?" "Us we're from Canada." "Cool."  Just then the food came.  "So what do you two guys do for a living?"  Anna said.  "We're spoiled little rich boys who own a lot of clubs in New Orleans."  The two started laughing then Lisa said "Well you two don't seem to act like it."  I said "Thank God for small favors."  We finished eating and went out to the car.  "Where to now?"  "How about the movies?"  Lisa said.  Anna spoke up "You 3 go I don't feel like it.  I'll call a cab to take me home." "No, you won't.  I'll drive them to the hotel and they can take Christian's car.  Then I'll take you home." "Don't you want to go with to the movies?" "Not If your not going." "Ok."  I did just that I left them at the hotel, knowing full well they would not make it to the movies.  Then we made it back to her place.  I walked her to the door and looked down into her bright hazel eyes.  I could not help it, I bent down and kissed her.  Thats when I know for sure she was an innocent. I broke the kiss and she opened the door I turned to leave.  "Edge wait!" "Yes?" "You want to come in?" "Sure."  I was thankful that she did that I didn't want to go back to that hotel with the 2 love birds in the room next store.  "Your brother isn't going to hurt Lisa is he?" "I don't think so.  I can tell he really likes her." "But they just met." "So that didn't stop us." "It's different with us.  I mean we're not and have not done it.  We both know thats what their doing." "True, but thats their loss." "I guess.  Do you want to stay here tonight?" "I would love to, specially with Mr. Hormones and Mrs. Hormones next store."  The two of us started laughing.  "So what would you like to do now Edge?  Wait is your real name Edge?"  "My real name is Adam.  Everyone calls me Edge because I'm usually on edge." "Not around me." "Your special." "Am I?" "Yes, special, beautiful and sweet." "Really?" "Yes, you..." she cut me off with a kiss. "Thank you?" "Your welcome sweetie.  Whats you last name?" "Martin.  Anna Martin.  Whats your's?" "Copeland.  Adam AKA Edge Copeland." "How long are you here for?" "Till Friday." "You leaving into days?" "Yea, I'm sorry.  I think I'm growing attached to you." "I think I'm growing attached to you too.  You can't leave so soon." "Come with me?" "What?  No, don't get me wrong but I don't know you all that well and you don't know me." "We'll get to know each other." "What If it does not work out?  I'm stuck in New Orleans without a job and a place to live." "It will work out." "How do you know?" "I just know, trust me.  You trust me don't you?" "Yes, but..." "No, buts you have 2 days to quit you jobs and pack your stuff." "I can't just leave.  What about Lisa?" "What If she came?  Then would you come?" "If she went then yes." "It's settled then your both coming." "Hey, wait your no fair!" "You said it, your a girl of her word aren't you?" "I never gave my word." "You said you would come if she did, didn't you?" "Yes, but..." "Ha I got you, sweetie." "You really don't know what no means do you?" "It's not in vocabulary when you say it me Lady." "Thats a lie!  When I said there was no dress code at the restaurant, you knew what I meant." "Thats because..." "Ha now I got you Edgy." "Edgy?" "If your going to make up pet names so am I." "Ok sweetie." "I'll be right back." "Take your time."  She came back out a few minutes later in a thigh length leopard robe. "What are you going to sleep in Edge?" "My clothes." "Aren't you going to be uncomfortable?" "Yea, but I have slept in worse." "Well, I think I have some of my cousins sweat pants here and a T-shirt." "Ok that sounds good, where are they?" "Hold on I'll get them."  She came back out and handed them to me and said, "The bathroom is right down the hall, call me if you need or want anything." "Thank you Sweetie."  I said before I kissed her forehead.  I changed fast wanting to get back out there to be with her as soon as possible.  I didn't care what she said she was coming home with me.  I was falling in love with her.  I got out of the bathroom and heard her yell "Are you tired?" "No, are you?' "Not really.  We need to get you some fresh sheets and  blankets."  She said walking past me and to a hallway closet. "Let me. Which sheets and blankets do you want?" "Pick." "All right I'll take these."  I said pulling out a black set of sheets and a black blanket. "Ok lets get them on the bed."  She lead me into a spare bedroom next to here's.  She turned on the lamp and screamed.  I dropped the blankets and sheets and went running over to her "Whats wrong?"  She didn't say a word, just pointed to a spider about the size of her hand.  I took her in my arm and said "Hush, it won't harm you.  It's not poisons." "How do you know?" "Just trust me."  I took a near by newspaper and killed it.  She was shaking, so I pulled her up into my arms and took her in room.  I put her down and lied next to her, holding her tight.  After a while she stopped shaking and looked up at me.  "Thank you."  I smiled at her "There is no need to thank me sweet heart, just relax and go to sleep."  She nodded and fell asleep.
    The next morning I woke before her and watched her sleep.  She looked so peaceful, so angelic, a perfect sight to wake up to every morning.  She stirred.  "The lady wakes." "Edge?" "Yes?" "Nothing, what time is it?" "Ten." "Oh, would you like me to make you some breakfast." "No, I want you to get dressed so I can take you out to eat." "Ok." "Then we're going to stop at the hotel.  If you don't mind?" "Why don't we go there first so you can get some clothes?" "Even better idea, now get dressed."
    We went to the hotel.  I never once mentioned the spider, it was obvious she was scared of them.  I got some clothes and took a quick shower.  Well, I was in the shower she talked to Lisa and my brother.  After I was dressed we all went to the local Ihop at about 11:30.  We order then I told "Lisa, Anna and I were talking last night and I want her to come with me back to New Orleans.  She said the only way she would go is if you came, so will you?" "Christian and I already talked about it and I know Anna we don't know each other; but I said 'yes'. "It settled Anna your going."  She gave me a smile, that I was not sure how to read.  "Your going aren't you?  Please you must come home with me Anna."  She looked like she was about to cry.  "Anna, say something sweetie." "Why do you want me to go home with you so much?" "Because you deserve better then this place, and I've fallen for you." "Fallen for me!  You don't even know me!  I'm out of here." "Anna!"  Lisa yelled.  I grabbed her arm and said "There is a reason why I saved you that night.  I knew then we're destined to be together.  I do know you my love, if you leave I will follow you.  I will follow you anywhere."  She looked in my eyes looking to see if I was just saying that to make her stay or if I meant it.  "Why did you save me?" "For a reason that will be revealed to you tomorrow night." "Promise we won't leave until it's revealed." "I promise."  She sat back down.
    We finished eating and then we went to where they worked and told them they were leaving.  They got there things and they left their work for the last time.  Christian took Lisa to pack her stuff and I took Anna home to do the same.  She pulled some suitcases out and started packing "Anna what if we just left this?  I'll buy you all you need in New Orleans." "I like some of my stuff." "Take what you like and forget the rest." "Ok, but why?" "You deserve the best." She dropped the clothes she was holding and kissed me.  She tasted even better then she looked, she broke the kiss. "Don't you need to call to get new reservations?" "Yes, thank you for reminding me." "Welcome."  She packed and I called the airline.  I got 4 first class
tickets out of there and back to New Orleans.  Then I called real-estate agent and told them about the house.  They were very interested and said they would come down and take a look tomorrow.  Anna took a break form packing at 4 to call her Cousin to come meet me and to ask if he would take care of the house.  He came right over.  "Anna." "Tony we're in my room!"  He walked in and looked at her then me.  He was a vampire, I could tell by his form.  "Tony, Edge.  Edge, Tony." "Pleasure to meet you Edge." "Same here."  We shook hands. "Cuz would you mind making us some coffee?" "No, of course not."  She went into the kitchen.  "Your Gangrel feedling." "I was.  My brother and I  left." "What are you going to do to my cousin?" "Nothing she would not agree with.  How did you know who I was?" "We share the same maker."  He reached out with his fist and punched me.  I fell and hit my head into the wooden dresser, get knocked unconscious.  I woke up to the sound of my name and crying, Anna's crying.  "Edge please wake up, God please!"  I picked my head up to look at her "Anna." "Edge!"  She hugged me and kissed, as if she had not seen me in 20 years. "Are you ok?" "Fine, whats going on?" "I don't know.  I heard you fall so I went in my room and asked Tony what happened.  He said 'This' and slammed my head into the wall." "Are you ok?" "Yes." "Has anyone come in here?" "No." "Where is here?" "Tony's basement." "Did you try the door?" "Yes, and the windows are boarded up." "I see." "Anna does your cousin have any unusual friends?" "Yes.  Why?" "Name some." "He made a lot of new friends once he moved out here.  The one he has become best friends with is David." "David."  I repeated the name, knowing it was my maker's real name.  The door opened.  Anna went to my side and helped me up.  "Hello, anyone up down here."  I recognized the voice as Tony, but his were not the only foot steps coming down the stairs.  I fell to the ground, to act as if asleep and I looked at Anna and winked.  She got the message and knelt besides.  "Edge wake up!  Come one Edge wake up!" "Cuz why didn't you answer me?  Your not scared of me are you?  I didn't mean to hurt you but you wouldn't have come any other way." "Why are you doing this?" "Why you ask Anna?  Simply because you're different."  I knew it was my sire, Gangrel.  He came closer to her.  "Edge knows it, thats why he wants you to leave with him.  You leaving with him won't happen, because your mine." "Like hell she is!"  I said jumping to feet and tackling my sire.  I couldn't hit him enough and the way I jumped at him he had no time to prepare for a fight.  Tony grab Anna and yelled "Stop or I'll bite her!"  I stopped and looked at him "Get off Gangrel and walk to the wall."  I slowly did so.  "You know Edge, thats why I always called you Edge.  Always on edge.  As I was telling Anna, I'm sure you heard so I won't repeat it, she is different.  You are an innocent.  By this I mean, you are pure and untouched, a virgin.  There are so few of you left nowadays.  You see Edge here interrupted my plans or I planed on interrupting his.  Edge, your cousin and I are not human.  We are vampires." "Vampires aren't real!" she said struggling to get out of Tony's hold.  "Oh but we are my dear," he said taking out a knife and holding it against the skin of him palm "watch."  He cut himself and the wound healed.  "How did you, you couldn't possibly..." "Shhhh, I know it's hard to sallow.  The elders of mine and Edge's clan chose you at birth to be Edge's innocent.  What this means is that unless Edge makes you a vampire he will never become a master vampire.  Why would I interfere with this your thinking, well because Edge and his brother left me.  They walked away form me and no one does that without paying and they will pay dearly.  First Edge then Christian.  Your friend Lisa was Christian's innocent, but she is not innocent anymore or human anymore.  He made her a vampire last night, so he leaves me no choice but to kill him.  Lets get this party started shall we, bring her here.  Now Edge if you move I'll snap her neck, so not only will you never become a master vampire, you be heart broken and go mad."  I didn't want him to kill her so I stood still and prepared to watch.  Tony pushed her over to Gangrel.  Gangrel pulled her against him and turned so they both could see me.  "You know how long I've been plotting this Edge? For 5 months!  I first went to the elders and asked who they chose for you, they said her.  I then found her and  made her cousin a vampire.  I was going to have him set us up but you came along!  I didn't want to take her this way!  I planed on doing it a little more erotically, if you know what I mean."  Unfortunately I did.  He meant to take her blood as he took her innocence.  In other word well they were having sex take her blood, then feed her his blood.  "As for Lisa I was going to take her afterwards."  Just then he was about to bite down Christian came crashing through one of the basement windows.  I ran at Gangrel and knocked him to the ground. Tony and Christian were exchanging blows as well.  Christian and I got the upper hand quickly and picked them up and threw them into each other.  "Anna is there anything flammable down here?" "Yes, the gasoline." "Great bring it here."  I said well hitting Gangrel.  "And is there any rope?" "Aaaa, yes above your head Christian." "Thanks."  We reached up and grab the rope and tied their to life less forms up.  "What are you doing?" Anna said as she put down the gasoline.  "Killing them."  Christian said  "Not my cousin." "He's not your cousin, Gangrel brainwashed him.  He is evil."  I said. "Still he is my cousin!" "All right we'll bring to the elders maybe they can fix him, but Gangrel is dead." "No problems there." "Good, now get the hell out of here." "What?" "Go outside and call the fire department." "I'm not leaving you." "Anna you have to.  I'll be fine." "No Edge!  I'm staying!" "If you love me you'll go." "Fine!" She said walking to the stairs and then at the bottom step turning around.  "Edge."  I walked over to her and kissed her passionately and said "Go." "I love you." "I love you too Anna."  She ran upstairs and out of the house.  I turned to look at Christian, who was holding a book of matches in his hand "Lets kill him."  I picked up the gasoline and dumped it on Gangrel. I picked up Tony, then Christian and I ran to the top of the stairs and he lit the match.  "Ashes to ashes."  I said.  "Dust to dust." With that Christian threw the match and we ran out of the house.  We were greeted by the arms and kiss if our ladies.  The fire department came shortly after.  The house was burned to the ground.  We packed up and left the next day for New Orleans.  On the way we brought tony to the elders to fix.  We got to the house 10.  Anna was still human, we ate dinner then went up stairs. "Edge." "Yes, my love." "Are you going to make me a vampire?" "If you want me to." "I want you to." "Good, then go take a hot shower." "Ok."  She took a shower, I sat her down on the bed and gave her a back and neck rub, "That feels so good." "Good, I'm glad.  I'm doing this so it won't hurt as much when I bit you." "Oh, how much will it hurt?" "It depends on the person." "Oh." "You'll be fine, besides I have a plan." "What kind of plan?" "Lay back and close your eyes."  She did as I said.  I began kissing her everywhere and anywhere.  The whole time slowly draining her.  We made love and afterwards I feed her my blood.  She woke the next night a child of the night.  we were married the next night in a double wedding with Lisa and Christian.
