Leading A Vampire

[CursedVixen]

The night air was refreshing and Zoe was glad for the walk. She thought that it might take longer, but she would be pleasantly surprised. In the darkness she felt more comfortable than she had in all of her life. She felt a kind of freedom that only night could give. As he whispered to her in words she was surprised she understand very clearly, she blushed and looked downward.

"Thank you," she said. "For everything," she said as she took his hand in hers. "Lead the way."

“Lead the way.”

“Very well, my dear, but please if you begin to tire, let me know,” Vassily told her, setting a slow leisurely pace, covering about twice as much ground as a human could. The cool night air washed over them as they virtually sped across the city, Vassily directing them towards the address he had read on Zoë’s driver’s license. “Do you have roommates or anyone who we should expect in the apartment?” He asked as they rounded the corner, slowing to a sluggish walk as they approached her apartment building.

The city was flying past her in a blur and whirl of colors. She was amazed as the lights seemed to mesh and whip by. She laughed. For a moment her stomach seemed to be left behind her, but Zoe adjusted to the feeling quickly.

When he asked about roommates or anyone that they should expect Zoe sighed. Unfortunately not, the closest friends she had would simply call her consistently and then would more than likely forget about her. Her parents would find her missing eventually, but that could be a while.

"I don't think so," she said.

“Well then, after you, my dear,” He said, pausing at the door of the building, allowing her to proceed him into her apartment. Vassily looked around at the street, constantly amazed that people lived this close together. True, he had been born in a city, a city where four or five families lived per street. It had been a different time, a different world then, Vassily thought with a regretful shake of his head, thinking about how good life had seemed and yet how hard it really had been. “I guess that’s one of the curses of long life, nostalgia can rule your life,” He mumbled to himself as he followed Zoë into her apartment.

When they arrived at her appartment Zoe could feel her heart breaking into a thousand pieces. As she opened the door and walked inside she saw all of the little things in her life that she would have to leave behind. She paused for a moment and looked around.

Immediately she went into the bedroom and took a couple bags out of her closet. "How much can I take?" She asked him as she began to neatly pack away her closet and dresser. She had a good amount of clothes, none of which she wanted to leave behind.

She also took a few pictures and an old childhood teddy bear. She sniffled a little as she tried to hold back the tears. "You must think I'm such a little girl," she said as she continued to stuff as much as she could into her two bags.

“You may take as much as you can carry, Zoë,” Vassily assured her as she began packing, turning his attention to the decorations and photos scattered about the apartment, learning about her life from the mementos she had on display.

“You are not a little girl, Zoë, just a caring, sentimental individual,” He assured her as she packed away an old beat up teddy bear. “Your feelings, your memories are what make you so special. It would be cruel to think that you could simply forget your life.” Vassily told her, his fingers coming up to caress the silver crucifix as she continued to pack the two bags. He still remembered the day Anastasia had given it to him, the day after he had finally proposed to her, his birthday. He had worn it ever since, the fine detailed carvings having been worn away through the years, the centuries obliterating the fine craftsmanship that had originally adorned it. “If you wish to take more, we will need to call for a ride,” Vassily told her with a skeptical glance at the two bags.

Out of the corner of her eye she watched him look over her room. She wondered what he thought about her modern day lifestyle and ecclectic appartment. She eyed her two bags and her empty dresser and closet. She'd packed a majority of her clothes and shoes and very few sentimental objects.

"No, I think I've got it all," she said with a little giggle. "Can I shower here, or do you want to leave now?" She asked Vassily as she zipped everything up.

“It is up to you, Zoë,” Vassily assured her, picking up a small photograph of two smiling girls, one obviously a younger Zoë the other unknown to him. “If you do not think we will be interrupted by anyone from your previous life, then by all means, shower here,” He told her with a smile, glancing at the two full bags she had packed. “I think we might want to call for a taxi unless you wish to carry those all the way across the city.” He commented as he continued his examination of the photo.
