Chapter 7 - Exile

Night ended as dawn's first finger strokes of light glimmered upon the horizon.

Melody watched the light streak across the clouds above her as she stood upon the building's roof edge. Eric's strong arms held her steady in the gusts of wind.

Melody amazed at his strength. His body was as rigid as steel, but his skin was soft and pliable like her own. She wondered what he had been like in mortality.

How had he become a vampire? Was he truly as old as she thought he might be?

Eric bent his head close to her ear; she could feel his steady breath against her neck.

"Have you ever had the thought, while standing here, watching the light come over the world, of just remaining. Of just watching it rise and taking your soul into oblivion?" he whispered. Melody shuddered, her eyes growing wide at the thought that he just might be strong enough to hold her there, taking her with him in a final suicidal gesture.

"No, never," she said, shaking her head. He opened his arms from around her and she turned around placing her arms around his waist. "Do you?"

He touched her cheek with the back of his hand gently, feeling the softness of her skin.

"Sometimes," he admitted. "But now you are here."

"Does that make things so different?" He nodded.

"For me, yes." His eyes almost looked sad as he said this, looking towards the light against the clouds, the horizon turning pink and then a yellow announcing the sun's arrival. Melody smiled softly, feeling the sadness in the revelation and kissed him gently. He smiled down at her and took her hand leading her down the stairwell to his lair some floors below.

The room looked just as dark during the day as it had the night before.

The candles melted down long ago leaving only the scent of their fragranced wax. Eric undressed and lay down in his bed watching Melody slip from his jacket, which he had wrapped around her shoulders for their trip up to the rooftop. The jacket fell to the floor and she slipped between the sheets, her nude milk-white body cuddled up against his. His arm was around her, cradling her almost protectively. The sun rose, and sleep took them.

It was the sharp pain of fingernails ripping flesh that woke Melody. She gasped and flinched as the nails ripped her flesh into fine strips. She opened her eyes and Eric slept soundly beside her, his breath even and deep. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness once again and Lisa's face looked down upon her. Her teeth had formed fangs, and her blonde hair almost seemed crimson in the darkness.

"He's mine! You never wanted him. He came for me, not for you!" Lisa hissed. She swung her hand towards Melody's face, her eyes glowing a deep red.

Melody threw up her hands, blocking Lisa's clawed nails, jerking herself awake. Lisa was not there. Melody gasped for air, her body wet from sweat.

She touched her shoulder where she had been wounded, and the skin was perfect, without flaw.
