Zen had been playing through all the scenarios in his mind at how she would respond... how to comfort her and assure her that everything was going be fine, expected to either be happy or to cry.  But thats not what happened, her every word hit like an ice pick! ...  Not lovers... he opened his mouth to apologize but she went on. Zen backed away shaking his head in disbelief... the sensation of panic and mingled with fear and surprise returned. His hand went to this neck once more, and he shivered.<br/><br/>“<span style="color: #FF0000">I am a vampire, you are a vampire. We do not eat what humans do, we feed from the living. I am your sire, your mistress, as it were and whether or not you obey me is no longer a choice you can make.”<br/></span><br/><br/>Zen did his best to recover from the initial shock and the sting of the cold blunt to words. When suddenly the tie around his throat went tight, he tried pull away, but he was at her mercy! He gasped as he suddenly found himself press up against her firm body and the worst part of all was that he was forced to rap his arms tightly around her waist to keep from falling to his knees.... the red power tie wasn't making him feel very powerful at the moment.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF0000"> “Are you beginning to understand?”</span><br/><br/>Zen set his smooth pale masculine jaw and his pitch black eyes narrowed into angry slits and glared back at her. He felt tricked in a way, but she hadn't made any pretense of what had really happened. "I understand!" he growled. "I think its time for me to go," he announced,  "I am not your pet! I am not staying! I might be a vampire, but this is a free country!" he informed her. "You can find another... pet! maybe if you treat him nicely he will stay." he snapped as he reached up attempting to pry his tie away from her fingers. He didn't care what the elders had said, he wasn't staying with this crazy lady! Besides what could a short little blonde like her to do stop him!
