Caleigh sat quietly in an over sized stuffed arm chair, with her knees drawn up under her. Her long dark hair was left free and Cally was dressed comfortably in a pair of stretching skinny tight jeans and a white button up knitted sweater with a white tank top under it. It was no secret Cally had moved into this house over the last few months, but she had rarely left the safety of the walls, afraid that she could harm someone now that she was a vampire and had no soul.
Watching the fire flicker in the fireplace, Cally let her mind wander, as she played absentmindedly with her old engagement ring she had stringed on a gold chain around her neck. She had tried getting rid of it a month ago, but she hadn't been able to part with it.
Lost in her thought, Cally all but jumped out her skin when she heard a knock on her door. Getting up, Cally wandered to the front door, confused who would be there at this hour and opened it slowly to see who was there.

Speech: It had taken Deran forever to find her, taken him years just to get out. Having old enemies was always a downside to being immortal, they always managed to come back into his life at the most incovenient times.
Deran hadn't even gone home to get changed, his clothes were ripped apart, the deep gaping scars showing underneath. In his fist he clutched a picture of Cally he had taken secretly years ago, on their engagement night. He was starving and could barely stand up as he clutched the side of the house. He just needed to see her, see if she was still alive.
When Cally opened the door he could sense that she wasn't the same, but being tortured and starved almost to death had dulled his mind, and he couldn't quite place what had changed. Perhaps it was the current state of his body, or the overwhelming sense of joy he felt when he saw that she was still breathing, that he collapsed onto the ground, the picture peaking out from his hand.

Cally's eyes flew open in shock as she opened the door, her heart beating far to fast and far to hard as a flood of emotions swamped her. "Oh my God," she manged to get out around the growing lump in her throat. "Deran.." His name was whispered from her lips as she stood shell shocked for a moment before realizing that he was collapsing. Standing there, Cally seemed paralyzed, but slowly her body and mind started working again.
"You stupid male," she hissed suddenly angry that he was hurt as her sense returned to her and her mind seemed to be functioning again. "Is this how it's going to be then? Me saving your butt for all of eternity," Cally mumbled, knowing he couldn't hear her, but having to say something all the same. Sighing, she called upon her magic, still not trusting her strength and levitated him with her wand to the couch.
Setting him down as gently as she could, Cally placed a pillow under his head before fetching blood pills from her kitchen, and forcing him to swallow them before she started to pull away his torn shirt, and covering him with a soft quilt she get around the living room for comfort.
Cally noticed the scars almost instantly, and felt tears burning behind her eyes at the thought of what could have caused such marks on his skin. Running her fingers over Deran's body, Cally slowly traced the scars with the pads of her fingers, wishing she could make them go away. Her mind swimming with what could have happened, Cally didn't even notice as she started to weep, tears trailing down her cheeks and onto him.

Speech: Deran didn't regain his senses until the blood pills took effect, and he felt something like water on him. He slowly sat up realizing that Cally was crying over him, his shirt ripped wide open revealing his scars. "Cally.." Deran whispered as he reached out and touched her hand. It was then that he realized she wasn't human anymore.
"Cally..." Deran reached forward so that he could hold her in his arms. He knew that telling her it would be all right wouldn't hold any meaning now. Her life was changed, his life was changed. All he could do was hold her and wait for her to speak. He knew that she would be hurt from his long absence again, but he knew that what she had to say was more important than telling her what he went through, because he felt Cally becoming a vampire was more terryfing to her than his past.

Cally sat there weeping silently, her tears trailing soundlessly down her cheeks as her hair fell across her face to hid her from the world. Everything had been lost to her, she had tried to end her life ona number of occasions after Deran had disappeared. Of course there had to be a reason, why had she been so stupid to think he had left her all alone. Her father and step mother had tried to kill her numerous times after he had left, and she bore scars like his which meant he had been tormented too. She had jumped from the roof of Hogwarts castle in front of Rigoletto, and then she had actively searched for a vampire to convert her so she wouldn't have to feel the hurt anymore, and she had nearly died that night too.
Lost in her thoughts about everything that had been lost, Cally nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt Deran's arms wrap around her. Sitting stiffly, Cally realized she was crying and quickly tried to brush the tears away. "I'm sorry," she said softly, resting her head on his shoulder. "You seem to always be comforting me when it should be the other way around right now..." Cally trailed off not wanting to bring attention to her obvious changes, though Deran probably knew. He always knew.
"How badly are you hurt?" she asked relaxing into his arms as she placed her small hand over his scar.

Speech: Deran listened and watched Cally, he smiled sadly, she was always the one to put others first. He held her hand as she traced his scars, "I'm fine Cally, it was worth everything to know finally that you're alive. That what happened to me is truly over. I will explain everything later, but you're in more pain. Tell me what happened." Deran looked into Cally's eyes, clearly worried that she had turned against her will, of the pain and inner torment she was going through, and how he hadn't been there to help her.
He knew it would be fruitless to apologize to her before she even explained herself. He wanted to hear what happened so that he could share in every single moment of pain, of life, of death that she had went through.

Cally rested her gaze on his hand over hers, unable to meet his gaze. She had wanted to be turned at first so she could live long enough for him to come back to her, and in the end, that was still the reason she wanted to become a vampire, but she felt like a traitor, and a failure to him for having attempted killing herself so many times over the years. Chewing on her bottom lip nervously, Cally took a few deep breaths not sure where to start.
"You have to know this was my choice Deran. It was always my choice from the moment I met you..." Cally trailed off taking another breath before trying to explain herself. "After you disappeared, my father and step mother got worse, and they nearly killed me on a number of occasions." Cally paused her hand that wasn't pressed against Deran's scars, going instinctively to hers as she tried to cover fine white marks she was ashamed of.
"I was terrified they would kill me before you got back. I tried to get Rigoletto to turn me when I was 17, and my last year at Hogwarts.. He refused, and I threw myself from the the tallest tower at Hogwarts wanting my pain to end." Caleigh stated the facts like they were, stealing herself against her emotions, refusing to show how much thinking of those times still affected her. "I ran away from Hogwarts, and the magical world after that, was gone for three years, got hooked on muggle drugs and drinking and tried to kill myself multiple other times from overdosing and cutting." Again, Cally covered her scars, this time the ones on the inside of her wrists. "I wanted to die, was ready to die if no one was going to turn me so I could wait for you. But nothing I did ever killed me. So I came back, got in contact with a vampire named Alexander who said he was willing to change me. I met with him and well, he nearly did kill me... But Rigoletto showed up and killed him Alexander before he killed me, and he converted me to save my life. Even then it as my choice. He would have let me die if I'd asked him too, but when it came down to it, I was really to chicken to die."
Cally took a deep shaky breath. The past was the past, and she brushed away the tears that threatened to spills over here lashes again. "I'm sorry I failed you," she said softly trying to move away from Deran, afraid he would condemn her, and unable to face him if he hated her for her actions. She had been heartbroken, and Cally had refused to live a half life without Deran.

Speech: Deran listened to Cally and he could tell how much pain she was in, he knew partly what that pain felt like. Wanting life to end, instead his desire to die after his families death had turned to rage against his Uncle and the others who had murdered them.
As she turned away, Deran ran his fingers along her scars, she was more beautiful than ever, more dear to him. "I'm glad death failed to keep his promise to you."
Deran kissed the inside of each of her wrists, over her scars. "I'm thankful for these scars, for in our seperation both of our pain, though different helped connect us. And you haven't failed me Cally. You never will fail me, I will always love you."
Deran paused and he held his hand against her cheek, looking into her sad yet hopeful eyes. "I will always love you, Cally, and now we have all of eternity to share in that love."

Cally shivered as Deran rand his fingers over her scars. They were her marks of shame, of her inability to hold true and stay strong. She had doubted him, doubted herself and doubted life. How was that ever forgivable. She had been converted in the flames of Hell, Cally shivered remembering the pain she had endured, and she didn't believe that she had a soul anymore. Deran had been born a vampire, it was who he was, she'd had to die as a human to become a vampire. Who's soul could survive that?
Feeling his lips on the insides of her wrists, Cally felt a cold part of her heart melting. "How do you do that?" Caleigh asked looking up at him through her eyelashes. "How can you make any situation better, and make me not feel so lost." She flashed him a very small tentative smile, as if she didn't know how to smile anymore, and really Cally couldn't remember the last time she had smiled. She'd been crying daily for the past four or more years, but she hadn't smiled since she'd last seen Deran.
"I Love you too," Cally said, her hand going once again to the ring she had strung around her neck, toying with is subconsciously. "But you still haven't told me what happened to you, or how badly you were hurt.." Cally tailed off, her eyes scanning his body as if afraid his scars would turn back into the injuries that had caused them in the first place. "Who did this to you?"

Speech: Deran smiled, "it's because I love you, Cally. Because somehow in the twist and turns of life our souls found a way to meet."
Deran noticed her play with the ring, and he was determined to make her smile again. He reached for her and drew her into him, so that his arms were around her. "It's a long story, a very long story. One of my old enemies managed to track me down, and I was basically a prisoner in his hide out for the last three years. He tried everything, and I was so worried that when I lost consciousness I would mention you, I was so afraid he had hunted you down, but he hadn't." Deran squeezed her, as if reassuring himself that Cally was still there.
"Then during the last period of my stay, I realized he was weakening, probably upset that I still wasn't dead. You see, the difference between us was that I had something to live for, I had you, and for him all he had was his rage and hate. But, I was lucky too, one of my friends noticed I hadn't come back home to prepare for our wedding and he searched for me. He found me, nursed me back to health in secret, and then together we killed my torturer. I told him to leave me, I needed to find you on my own, I needed to know you were safe, which leads me to your doorstep."
Deran sighed, "these scars are nothing, losing you, having him kill you would have been so much more unbearable for me. It's all over though now, he won't walk this earth again." Deran smiled at Cally.

Cally flinched at the word soul. She didn't believe she had one anymore, she didn't feel the light or happiness she was supposed to feel. But bringing that up was probably not the best idea.
Cally rested her body against Deran's as he pulled her into his arms again. To be honest she was a bit overwhelmed, but the one thing she had learned was to compartmentalize her emotions, only dealing with the ones she felt she had control over, and since she didn't really have control over any of her emotions, it was easier to deal with them later.
Feeling Deran's arms tighten around her, Cally tried to snuggle closer, his arms and his presence being the only thing that was keeping her sane and safe. She felt horrible, Deran had stayed alive because he had been living for her, but she had been trying to end her life anyway she could have.
"I don't deserve you," Cally said as he finished speaking. "You survived for me, and the scars are something, don't ever say they're not. If anyone ever lays a hand on you again I will tear out their heart." She refused to look up at Deran, refusing to see his smile. She felt guilty, she felt like she had ruined everything, and Cally didn't know how Deran could still hold her in his arms. She was ruined, damaged even, and he desereved so much better than her.

Speech: Deran noticed that she was holding back her feelings, and he wanted to her to be able to let go of them, and let herself shine through again. He knew it would take time though, after all he was born a vampire, it was the only life he had known. "No matter how many times you say you don't deserve me, I will always answer a thousandfold that I don't how I was ever blessed with such an amazing person like you. You changed my life Cally, you brought me back to the place I had been before all hell broke lose."
Deran smiled, laughing at her remark, "I can imagine you will, though I hope you take into consideration my input in the matter of whose heart you do rip out. My enemies and I have a very long and twisted history, formed by promises which not only affect me and you, but everyone in the whole world."
"But that is not important now, you will learn about everything sooner or later. What really matters now is getting you to smile, and let yourself by who you are again." Deran hugged her again.

Cally gave a small sigh and nuzzled her face into his neck, pressing her lips against his pulse point in a small kiss as she tried to hide from his words. "You changed my life too Deran," she said with a soft sigh. "I just feel guilty, you fought to be with me, and I was a coward and couldn't face the pain of being alone... I was a chicken and things just spiraled out of control for me when Snape found me in Hogsmeade with my father abusing me, and I had no one to turn to, no where that was safe anymore."
"I'll try to listen to your input," Caleigh said wrapping her arms around his waste, her first real surrender to anyone in years. "But I can't promise you that will always be possible. I'm not perfect, and I do have a bit of a temper.. You've never seen it, but I promise you, it's there, and I've been very angry for a long time, so I feel sorry for the fool who dares ever challenge me by attempting to hurt you."
"I don't remember the last time I smiled," Caleigh admitted slowly. "I don't know who I am anymore, or how I'm supposed to act. I'm scared Deran," Caleigh said sitting up and looking up at him through her thick lashes. "I'm scared and I don't know how to be strong again."

Speech: Deran listened to Cally, "no, I would have done what you did as well, if I thought I was alone. So, don't feel bad about it. I've gone through a lot in my life, I've lived longer, so I react differently."
Deran let Cally wrap her arms around him. He nodded to her words about not being able to promise how she would react. As to her words about being scared he looked comforting at her. "I can't fully understand what if feels like to die and then be alive again, but changed in how your body works. Though, when I lost my family I didn't know who I was anymore, everything was destroyed within me, at least I thought. Maybe right now you feel the same, that you've lost everything you were, that you aren't the same. But you are exactly who you were. I have faith that together we can unearth you."
Deran paused before continuing, "and you are strong, partly because you are scared. What we need to do is go outside, and experience life. Do some things that you've always wanted to do. We should also visit places that hold memories for you, that's why I always came back home, and why I live there now. And we also need to face the things you're scared about together, like being around humans. I will help you Cally, and I have faith that you will get through this. I wouldn't have fallen in love with you if I knew you wouldn't survive, it was always on my mind, you turning." Deran smiled glad that he had Cally with him for eternity now.

Cally sat quietly listening to Deran speak. She could have sat there forever, just listening to him and never have been happier. It was as if having him there made her warmer, as if her heart that had frozen over the years was thawing, and it might be alright to love and trust again.
"Outside?!" Caleigh gasped nearly jumping out of her skin. Letting go of Deran, Caleigh moved away from him backing away. "I can't. I can't be around people around humans or mortals, whatever you want to call them.." She backed away slowly as if she were ready to run away at any moment. "It's not safe for me to be around people. I could never hurt someone Deran, I'd never be able to forgive myself. Rigoletto said it was possible I could go on a killing spree. I can't let that happen, I can't."
Panicking, Cally turned away and went into her kitchen and stood looking out into her backyard. Her property backed up onto a forest, and she loved to go running through it but she couldn't be around people. Her small body trembling at the idea of going out and being around people, Cally stood looking out her window trying to calm herself down.
