Chapter 27

"Roslynne?"

The young woman smirked as she slowly opened her eyes. She had been awake for quite some time, waiting for the man beside her to wake on his own. Even though she slept soundly after cuddling up with Vlad, her eyes were still tired.

Vlad looked back at her with a mix of amusement and bewilderment. "What are you doing down here?" he almost laughed.

Roz took a deep breath before she quickly blurted, "I lied."

The man raised an eyebrow at her. "What?"

Roz watched as a look of worry spread across the man's face. It made her wonder for just a moment what Vlad thought she was lying about. Did he think she was lying about wanting to move in with him, not being pregnant, loving him?

"About why I left home. I haven't been completely truthful with you. With everyone, really."

Vlad looked intently at her. His expression hadn't softened any. At that moment Roz didn't care if her family woke up to see her in bed with him, so she didn't think twice as she snuggled into his arms.

"I didn't leave just because everyone was driving me crazy." Roz stopped to take another deep breath. "There's this ghost Elias. He stalks me…mainly when I'm alone in my room."

She bristled when Vlad all but pushed her away from him. Gripping her arms, Vlad looked in her eyes with a strange expression. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Roz looked taken aback at his harsh tone. Was he angry with her? Surely, hopefully he wasn't. There was no one else Roz had ever been able to talk to about Elias. Vlad knew things about her not even her closest friends or her parents knew.

"Why are you mad?" she almost whispered.

The man clenched his jaw and closed his eyes. He looked back at her sympathetically. "Sweetheart, I could never be mad at you, and especially not when you come to me with something like this. I just wish you had told me sooner. After everything I did to you-"

"Vlad, that's different. He hasn't come close to touching me the way you have."

One of the looks Roz hadn't seen since their first kiss passed across Vlad's face. It was one of deep hurt, but one only someone close to him could see. She immediately regretted her words. "I didn't mean it in a bad way," she added.

"I deserve it, even if you did," Vlad answered as his gaze briefly left her. "And it's not different. You leave home because this thing is terrorizing you and you turn to me, the only person who you feel can turn to. But I end up going above and beyond what made come to me in the first place. I feel terrible, Roslynne."

Roz bit her lip. The two of them had never fully discussed the Plasmius incident. It had felt similar to her, but at the same time it was different. While he had gotten on her nerves at times with his smugness, Roz had never felt terrified of Plasmius after they became acquainted. She lovingly stroked Vlad's chest.

"I won't lie, it did bother me, but not so much in the same way. I was mainly confused as to why you wanted me and where you came from. How I was so attracted to this inhuman thing and how my first time was with him. And I also felt bad, Vlad. I felt like I was hurting you…and I really wanted you to be my first, or at least know that it was you."

Vlad took a deep breath as a smile tugged at his lips. "Really?" he asked softly.

Roz nodded her head. "When you came to check on me the next morning, I felt so dirty and guilty. But as soon as you showed me you two were the same, even though I was mad I was so relieved. It was one of the main reasons I came back so quickly." She stopped to sigh happily and smile. "And then that night, it was like it was my first time all over again."

The man leaned forward to place a slow kiss on her lips. "You have no idea what it means for me to hear that, Roslynne. I have never been able to be my true self with anyone other than you. I love you so much," he finished as he kissed her forehead.

"I love you, too." Roz breathed. She was positively beaming on the inside. She had never had a man make her feel like this before. Not only truly loved, but his world.

"Now, about this Elias."

Roz mock pouted at she looked up at Vlad. "But I'm all warm and fuzzy now." Her face dropped as she became serious and continued.

"Long story short, he started showing up not long after Danny had his accident. He scared the hell out of me, because he started out talking to me without showing himself. He would only talk to me if I was alone. I tried to tell Mom and Dad, but they're used to them, so for them it was normal.

"Eventually Elias showed himself to me the more he tried to talk to me. I started talking back to him, but just to let him know I had no interest in interacting with him. He knew he unnerved me, and he liked it, so he started only showing up in my bedroom at night.

"He became possessive. When I spent nights away from home, he would be angry when I came back. I've just always told everyone it was Mom and Dad driving me crazy. It's partly true, because when they did start paying attention Elias would never show any sign if existing.

"He started putting his hands on me, grabbing me a lot. I mentioned Danny to him, but he swore I would regret it if I brought him into it."

Roz stopped to look worriedly up at Vlad. She could see that he was hanging onto her every word with a trace of anger. "And then he showed up last night mentioning how unhappy he was about you. He threatened to hurt you."

Brow furrowed, Vlad asked, "Did he touch you?"

Roz quirked one side of her mouth in an unfortunate "yes" answer. "He grabbed the collar of my shirt. When I got mouthy with him, he grabbed my face to shut me up." She watched with satisfaction as Vlad's eyes turned red for just a moment.

"What did you tell him?"

She smirked then. "That you would break him in half."

Despite his anger, Vlad chuckled. "I will, Roslynne. Simply for what he did to you last night." He then shook his head. "You should have told your brother. He's capable of more than you think."

Roz looked pleadingly up at him. "I was afraid he would get hurt. It's the exact same reason I never mentioned him to you before." She paused to smirk once again. "He thinks you're just an ordinary man, but now I know you're not."

Vlad slowly kissed her on the forehead. "You will never have to deal with him again, Roslynne. I promise."

Roz's heart swelled with both joy and worry. She didn't want Elias to have the chance to lay a finger on Vlad, but at the same time she longed to see Vlad "deal" with him in his own way. She grinned to herself as her tired eyes closed, and even more so when Vlad laced their fingers together under the blanket.

At that moment she truly didn't care if they were discovered. This was where she belonged. However, that didn't stop her pulse from pounding as Danny sleepily walked pass the den. Roz quickly sat up as he did a double take.

"Um, what's going on?" he asked as his eyes went from his sister to Vlad. His eyebrows quickly shot down in annoyance.

"What do you mean?" Roz half-laughed.

Danny held his hands up at his sides. "Gee, I don't know. Seeing you in bed with Dad's old college buddy being so normal and everything."

Ignoring her brother's sarcasm and tense tone, she cocked her head and answered lightly. "We're just talking, Danny, and it's cold in here."

The teenager folded his arms and narrowed his eyes, more so at Vlad that his sister. Roz was reminded so much of their mother at that moment. "Maybe you shouldn't be wearing a tank top with your chest half exposed in the middle in winter."

"Daniel," Vlad growled in a warning tone. Roz just sat there as her face fell at her brother's remark.

The boy narrowed his eyes even more before he turned his back to the two. "I'm telling Mom."

Vlad jumped as Roz flew from the bed with lightning speed. "Oh, no you're not," she mumbled under her breath as she grabbed and dragged her brother the rest of the way out of the den.

"What are you doing?" Danny asked as he tore his arm away from his sister. They now stood in the middle of the living room.

Roz crossed her arms. "What am I doing? What are you doing, Danny? You have been nothing but hateful towards Vlad since he stepped in the house. I know you don't like him, but he's one of my best friends. You're going to have to accept that."

"But you can't trust him, Roz! He's evil and selfish and crazy. We're flat out enemies."

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Even though she cared a lot about her brother, Roz couldn't take what she was hearing. "Like I said, I know you don't like him. But I do, and he's none of those things, Danny. I know him a lot better than you do and have no reason not to trust him."

"Really?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow. Danny then cut his eyes and clenched his jaw as Vlad walked up behind his sister. "Remember that ghost you asked me about, the one with the fangs? It's Vlad. He's a half-ghost just like I am."

If Danny was waiting for his sister to gasp in surprise or for Vlad to fly into a rage, he was sorely disappointed. Roz just stood there, and while she was taken aback, her only reaction was the shake of her head. "I can't believe you, Danny," she scolded in a low, calm voice. "As hard as you try to keep yourself a secret, you would give his away so easily?"

"She knows, Daniel," Vlad told him flatly. "She has for some time now."

Danny scoffed.

"He told and showed me Plasmius himself," Roz added. "I didn't have to find out by accident like I did with you. And you think I can't trust him?" she ended with a murmur. Even though it was Vlad he was saying these things about, Roz's heart ached like it was her.

"That doesn't prove you can trust him," Danny said as his gaze turned back to Vlad. "Did you tell her about my visit to Colorado? About how you took my powers away and then sent what used to be the animals in your foyer after me? It's kind of hard to forget about a horde of rabid, ghost animals, Vlad."

They both watched as the man's eyes flashed red. Roz stared open-mouthed at him, fighting to keep her arousal of those flashing eyes at bay. "You did what?" she asked Vlad in almost a whisper.

He ignored her, and instead attacked the teen. "If I may recall, Daniel, if I had not taken away your powers the belt your own mother attached to you would have electrocuted you throughout the night. Which I might add, you did end up doing to me that same night."

Roz did gasp then as her head shot towards her brother. "You electrocuted him!?" she shrieked.

"And then took my own powers away while the same horde chased me as I continued to be electrocuted until I was able to get the damn thing off," Vlad added with a growl.

"You deserved it!" Danny yelled loud enough for the entire house to hear.

Roz smacked him lightly on one of his flailing hands. "Danny, stop it. This isn't the time-"

"Yes it is, Roz," he interrupted her. "You think you know the real Vlad, but you don't. I'm looking out for you, but all you can do is stand here and defend him."

The young woman held her head in her hands. "Danny, I just can't handle this right now. You know I love you, but…" I love him, too, her thoughts finished for her. "I just don't want to talk about this right now."

As Roz held her head up, Danny's face fell. He watched as his sister feverishly tried to blink tears away from her eyes. With a sigh, he finally left the two of them be.

"Roslynne?" Vlad spoke softly once he was gone. She didn't turn to face him.

"I don't want to talk about it," she said as she wiped the rest of the wetness from her eyes. Once she was done, she turned to face him and immediately fell into his arms. "I want to go home."

Vlad hugged her tightly, comfortingly rubbing her hair. "Colorado's only a short flight away. You know that."

Roz bit painfully at her lip. She wanted nothing more that moment than to still be there. To be waking up in Vlad's dark bedroom, tangled up in his arms. But, Danny was her brother. She owed it to him to listen to what he had to tell her, even if she didn't want to hear it.

"I need to be here," she sighed. "But for today, I need some time to myself."

"Am I allowed to join you?" Vlad asked cautiously.

Roz smiled despite herself. She could never say no to him. "Of course you are. In fact, I would very much like that we find a room to take our frustrations out in. How does that sound?"

Vlad chuckled deeply. "I want to go wherever you go."

AN: Just one problem after another, eh? Please R&R!
