The lack of trust she had in him stung, and Flame took her getly by the hand and led her out of the restaurant, to a deserted alley behind. Wrapping her in his embrace, he held her while he sobbed, anger filling him at the thougt of anyone hurting her. He wanted to kill them. Bloodlust rising in him. Flame was and always had been a beast... but not with Sydney. Sydney made him a man. What could he do, how could he prove to her? reaching behind himself, the male pulled a pocketknife from his jeans, stepping back to show it to her. "Ill take a blood oath for you." He murmured, trying to catch her eye as heopened the knife and placed it against the palm of his hand. "I will never be violent, hurtful or insenstivive to you. With anyone else, i may be, but not with you. If i hurt you, then i would loathe myself. Please trust me."
