"She was young, and beautiful... and she was a waitress... she walked down the alley, that;s where I was." He starts sobbing onto Maddison's shoulder. "She should never have asked me home with her... I couldn't resist it. Thumping at me... calling to me... What have I done?"

"You've done what pretty much everybody does when they've just become a vampire. You got carried away, and drained her life away." Maddison replies, speaking gently, and feeling his eyes watering up, because he remembers what it was like when he first made that mistake.

"She should never have asked me home..." Keith repeats.

Maddy nuzzles Keith a bit, "She probably shouldn't have, but she couldn't help it. Vampires... we're predators, and we're designed to be able to trick humans, and have our way with them. There wasn't any way she could resist you. And you're too young to know how to handle that yet."

"I couldn't control myself." Keith replies, burying his head into Maddison's shoulder. "I had a taste, and wanted even more..."

"Control will come with time, especially now that you've... learned your lesson the hard way." Maddison kisses his forehead, "Oh Keith, I wanted to spare you this... or at least be there for you when it happened..."
he didn't want to add that the reason he wasn't was because Keith had run off, because he doesn't want Keith to feel like it's all his fault.

"I'm going to kill everything I touch..." he says. "I'll never be with a woman again without killing her.:"

Maddison shakes his head, "No. That's not true. You just need to have a lot more practice, and a lot more control, before you try anything like that."
Then he gets an idea. He goes over to his sewing things, and dumps out his straight pins. he had always kept them in a nice little ceramic jar with a lid that could be fastened on. He brings the jar over to Keith, "Why don't you put her ashes in here?"

"All I have are these. I left the rest at her house." he says. "What if the police com e after me?"

"You can at least put what you brought. And the police won't come. We're vampires. We don't leave behind finger prints, or DNA. They'll never even be able to prove she was murdered. They'll be trying to disprove that her death was spontaneous human combustion for decades."

Keith gently lets the ashes he had gripped in his hand go down into the container. He feels terrible, and he's pretty sure he'll never be the same again. Afterward, he holds the makeshift urn tightly and rocks himself on the couch.

Maddison goes and sits next to him, putting his arm aroud Keith's shoulders. He isn't sure Keith would want him to talk though... in fact, considering Keith had been mad at him for turning him into a vampire earlier, Keith must really hate him now.

Keith curls up with Maddison, revelling in the comfort that the girl provides. "I'm sorry for being mad earlier." he says very quietly. If Maddison hadn't been a vampire, she likely would not have heard it.

Maddison blinks, confused, "You're sorry?"

"For being mad." he says. "I need you. Look at the trouble I get into without you. Look at the way my life was going before you. I would have been dead within the year."
