“You love me?”
“I thought that would make you happy. After all, you’re the own preaching how important I am.”
“Olivia, you are perfection itself. Everything I’ve ever wanted in my life. We’ll begin again, and with us we shall create our own coven with…” I zoned out for a moment, just thinking about what had happened, what I was getting myself into. Did I love Vandoule? Yes, I knew that I did, but isn’t it ironic how Martin was obsessive over vampires, and vampires are obsessive over humans? I didn’t have time to ask myself what it was I loved about Vandoule because, as his voice became a soft hum in the distance, I turned to look at what had caught his attention.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to! I’m only five, it just looked so pretty.”
“Shh, Rashel. Let me help you.”
“Oh, please! Don’t touch it, it hurts.”
Rashel had mournful tears in her eyes. Martin had dropped his set of bow and arrows when Vandoule attacked him, leaving them free for her to explore. As young as she was, we should have paid attention to her, for, as our Moonlight Serenade played in our ears, Rashel accidentally stabbed herself in the chest with an arrow.
“I know it hurts, but I have to pull it out.”
“Vandoule, were you ever going to take me back to my mum?”
“Not now, Rashel. I have to get this out of you.”
I didn’t know what to do. I was just watching as Vandoule bent over her small body, softly trying to pull out the wedged arrow. He began to cry, and in all the time that I have known him, never once has he shown me the normalcy to feel compassion quite like he was showing for little Rashel. I knew then that she just wasn’t some little vampire child. He loved her, very much. I noticed a change in him, and Rashel had everything to do with it. He was gentler, less controlling. Is it possible that he began to let go of his infatuation with obsessive ness, finding something to go on living for in the realm of the undead; a family?
“Why?”
“So that we can all be together, that’s why.”
“But, why won’t you answer my question?”
Vandoule was trying hard to smile for her, but I could feel the sadness emanate off of him. This little child had given a meaning to him, far greater than I could give, and though I knew he would still have me, watching this pain told me a deeper story. As he tried to pull out the arrow, he snapped at Rashel, angry with her for hammering him, and angry with himself that she was slipping further and further away..
“Because, Rashel, you already know the answer!”
“You don’t… don’t…”
“Don’t what?”
“…have to yell at me. Ouch!”
“Well, I’m sorry but you stabbed yourself pretty deep, and I’m doing my best to get it out safely!”
“I just want to know where my mum is!”
“I don’t know where she is!”
“But you said…”
“I lied!
“Why are you crying?”
“Why are you crying?”
“Because I’m five and I have an arrow in my chest. You’re old with no arrow in your chest.”
“That’s not true, Rashel.”
“I see a troubled soul trying to break free.”
“You would be correct. That’s my arrow.”
“Stop touching it.”
“No.”
“Yes. I want you to look at me.”
“Alright.”
“What do you see?”
“You.”
“And who am I?”
“You are Rashel.”
“And what does that mean to you?”
“It means that you are Rashel and although you’re loud, annoying, and sometimes unpleasantly truthful, I have grown to love you very much, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you.”
“Something happens to everyone.”
“Rashel, I love you as my own.”
“I know.”
“Let’s just pull out the arrow.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because I know you brought mum to heaven, and I miss her.”
“Rashel, I’m sorry…”
“You are a good person, Vandoule. Act on that more often.”
“Please…”
And then she leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead. Smiling up at him, she seemed so peaceful and serene, letting go of her soul just as easily as she must have received it.
“Rashel, please…”
“Vandoule?”
“Yes?”
“I’m only five.” And with her beautiful smile and a faint giggle, her head landed in his outstretched arms as I watched this new form of a vampire be more of a man, break down into utter agony and distress, holding her to him as he rocked her back and forth.
