Beren released the person and took a few steps back, shock and exhaustion showed plainly on his face. He collapsed on his bed siting there the dark circles forming around his eyes. His hand slid down his face as he continued to examine the intruder.<br/><br/>"You fail to understand what is going on..... seeing as you seem to have my mind on the matter I will do you the curtesy of enlightening you. Miss Carlington is indeed her under my protection. I have also gotten the help of another vampire to be her companion for protection. I have no intention of using her as you think. I can see very clearly you don't believe me. So be it but I am protecting her as best I can from what it is that hunts her. I have no intention of letting her be sacrificed by anyone and the worst thing I will do to her is make her my bride."<br/><br/>Beren glared at the man, "And as far as I can tell turning her into what I am would be far safer! I don't see what business it is of yours anyway. You had better give me more info or I may just keep you here till Vincent arrives, I am sure he would be happy to take care of you."<br/><br/>Beren let the threat hang in the air, he was totally exhausted and hungry..... he wasn't sure which was worse at this point. He didn't have much energy left for this.
