29
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:31.800
some people say first love never dies. In Strickfield, that

30
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.240
may be more than just a figure of speech. Buster

31
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:42.080
Crane never forgot Talia, his childhood first love. Years later

32
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:48.159
he found romy beautiful, mysterious, and hiding a secret that

33
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:54.240
sent him running. Now Talia has returned, Romi wants him back,

34
00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:01.639
and neither woman intends to let go. But Srickfield, jealousy

35
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.439
can be deadly and love can last much longer than

36
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.199
a lifetime. So ask yourself, if two people wanted your

37
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:25.159
heart forever, how much blood would you spill to keep them?

38
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:32.360
The ties that bind by Rob Fields. Seriously, why does

39
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.319
love have to be so complicated? I'm sure many of

40
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.879
you have asked questions like that, to yourself before. Now,

41
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.919
how many of you are involved with two people? I'd

42
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.439
better explain myself so you'll know what I mean. When

43
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.360
I was a student way back at Strickfield Elementary, I

44
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.599
was already popular with the girls. I had my first

45
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.039
real life girlfriend in the fourth grade. It was just

46
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.759
the two of us on the playground, holding hands and

47
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.680
talking about whatever kids our age talked about. Talia Miren

48
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:19.399
was my first kiss. Yeah, you never forget your first kiss.

49
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.560
We were sitting at our spot on the playground when

50
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:27.319
she suddenly pecked me on the lips. I never forgot

51
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.720
that moment. Talia and I went from pecking to some

52
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.920
serious kissing. We would sneak off to one of our

53
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.560
hiding places and make out during recess. Then Talia's mom

54
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.160
caught us. Boy did I get in trouble. Not with

55
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.600
the school, but with my parents. Talia's mom raised hell

56
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.519
with them, and they raised hell with me in return.

57
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.160
The next day, Talia was gone. Her mom with drew

58
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.639
her from Strickfield Elementary and began homeschooling her inside the

59
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.800
Miran's walled community. I was pretty sure I'd never see

60
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:15.519
her again. I eventually got over the sadness, but I

61
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:21.040
never forgot Talia. I was sure we really loved each other.

62
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.800
Through the years, I always seemed to have a girlfriend.

63
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.959
I don't know what it was about me. As far

64
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.720
as I knew, I was just an average guy. I

65
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.120
didn't have some five point plan for picking up girls.

66
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.040
I just talked to people and tried to be nice,

67
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.360
which was what Mom and Dad had taught me. I

68
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.839
met plenty of interesting girls, but I just never forgot

69
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:56.600
Talia Mirren. Like I said, I always had somebody after Talia.

70
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.519
Then we get to high school where young love really

71
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:06.319
seems to blossom. Strickfield High was where I met romy

72
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.720
Gillian a month into freshman year. She walked into both

73
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.800
my classroom and my life. Wouldn't you know it? The

74
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.720
only available seat was the empty stool at my table.

75
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.639
I know, I know, I said, I always had a

76
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.399
girl with me. It was like whatever love God watched

77
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.639
over me had noticed I was single again and brought

78
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.120
me Romy. From the moment I talked to her, there

79
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.800
was no going back. Romy Gillian was a line you

80
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.519
could never uncross. She and I became fast friends, and

81
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.399
it wasn't long before she was my girlfriend. Every time

82
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.600
I saw her, she took my breath away. She had long,

83
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.120
raven black hair, glowing green eyes, and a beautiful body.

84
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.959
She looked like a young Meg Foster. From that first day,

85
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.879
it was always Romy and me. Hell my parents really

86
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.759
liked her. They had liked plenty of my past girlfriends.

87
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.720
But Mom even told me she could see Romy becoming

88
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:23.120
my wife. I admit, though, I still hadn't forgotten Talia.

89
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.639
Shortly after Romy and I started sleeping together, around holiday

90
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.759
break of freshman year, I told her all about my

91
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:37.680
first love. I don't blame you for still thinking about her.

92
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.759
Romy said, you never forget your first love. No, she

93
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:51.279
didn't say first kiss. She said first love. Did you

94
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.720
ever have your first love? I asked. Romy smiled a little.

95
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:03.279
My first love is memory. That was one of the

96
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:08.279
things I loved about Romy. She was mysterious. She never

97
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.839
said who her first love was, and I didn't pry.

98
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.639
There were other interesting things about her. Romy had pale skin,

99
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.800
but so did other girls at school. Near the end

100
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.720
of junior year, I realized I'd never really seen her

101
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:33.440
eat anything. She drank, but she never ate. Still, she

102
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:39.519
wasn't wasting away. Romy was always beautiful, with or without clothes.

103
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.240
I also realized I'd never met her parents, but I

104
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.559
never pushed it. I learned she lived alone in a

105
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.559
secluded ranch house on Indian Hollow Road, right by a graveyard.

106
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.679
Whenever I visited, she was working on her art. She painted, sculpted,

107
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:04.240
anne and made pots and vases. Her art didn't make

108
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:09.720
her rich, but she lived comfortably. Before senior year, Romy

109
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.440
asked me to live with her. After I moved in,

110
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.879
I learned she didn't own a single mirror, not even

111
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:23.720
in either bathroom. I figured she was beautiful enough not

112
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.960
to need one. She did install a mirror in the

113
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:32.559
full bathroom for me. Romy and I lived together throughout

114
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:37.639
senior year. We couldn't get enough of each other. Funny thing,

115
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:44.120
her skin was always cold, even after we'd been hot

116
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.919
and heavy. We had been saying we loved each other

117
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.080
since freshman year. Man. I wanted us to last forever.

118
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.600
Now we get to the point where things take a

119
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.440
bad turn. You knew Romy and I would have our

120
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:08.159
first fight someday. All couples do, right, except ours wasn't

121
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:14.320
about the usual relationship stuff. Just after graduation, I learned

122
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:20.200
the truth about Romy. Ever since she installed the bathroom mirror.

123
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.679
I noticed she never came in while I was using it.

124
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:30.519
I figured she was giving me privacy. Then one day,

125
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.399
while I was drying off after a shower, she stepped

126
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.360
behind me and wrapped her arms around me, and Romy

127
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:46.399
had no reflection. I'd heard stories around Strickfield about vampires,

128
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.320
but I'd never believed them. Boy did I believe them. Then.

129
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.480
Maybe Romy let her love for me overshadow her common

130
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.480
sense that day, or maybe she wanted to show me

131
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:06.480
what she really was. All I knew was that I

132
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.360
was scared as hell. But Romy went out during the

133
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:16.799
day right didn't sunlight kill vampires? She told me. She

134
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.240
used ancient Jillian magic to make an elixir. A few

135
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.720
drops in her bathwater protected her from daylight for twenty

136
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:32.159
four hours. Romy and I had a huge fight. I

137
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:36.799
told her I couldn't be with a vampire because vampires

138
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.879
were evil. When I asked how many people she had

139
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.440
killed while we were together, she looked at me as

140
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:49.200
if she'd caught me cheating. She sank to her knees

141
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:55.279
and cried. I grabbed some clothes and belongings, and I

142
00:11:55.399 --> 00:12:02.279
fled for my safety. My parents let me move back home.

143
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.279
They said it was natural for couples to fight. I

144
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:12.399
never told them Romy was a vampire. I was afraid

145
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:17.159
of her, but I also felt like I'd really messed up.

146
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.120
I still loved her, and I knew I had heard

147
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:26.080
her badly. I wanted to apologize and make things right,

148
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.159
but I couldn't bring myself to call or return to

149
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.559
her house. A few months later, I started my freshman

150
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:40.799
year at Strickfield University. As far as I knew, Romy

151
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.279
wasn't taking classes there. Little did I realize my female

152
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:51.720
troubles were about to get worse, and not just because

153
00:12:51.720 --> 00:13:02.080
of Romy. Ever have deja vus? Well, it happened almost

154
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:06.399
the same way. I was sitting alone in Critical Thinking

155
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:12.519
when she walked in. I knew her immediately. The professor

156
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:17.159
pointed to the empty seat beside me, and as she

157
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:22.519
came toward me, she gasped when she recognized me too.

158
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:29.919
Taliamren had come back into my life. Boy had she changed?

159
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.559
It was a long way from fourth grade to college.

160
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.000
The sweet innocent girl I remembered had become a dangerously

161
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:44.840
wild adult. Her blonde hair now had lavender streaks. She

162
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.080
had piercings on her face and ears, along with plenty

163
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:54.039
of tattoos, including a sleeve on her right arm. I

164
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.519
could describe all her bodily dimensions, but I'll just say

165
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:04.159
Taliamren had fun a cocoon around herself and metamorphosed into

166
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:10.639
a stunningly hot vixen. Talia sat beside me and put

167
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:17.679
her things down. Hi. She whispered, Hi. I whispered back.

168
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:23.799
My long suppressed feelings returned. I told you i'd never

169
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.399
forgotten her. I found out she hadn't forgotten me either,

170
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:33.120
when she took my hand after class. We were still

171
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.080
holding hands. She locked eyes with me and said, you're

172
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.159
coming home with me. Buster. Yeah, I forgot to tell

173
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:46.120
you Buster is my name. She brought me to her

174
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.879
loft on the other side of campus. As soon as

175
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.759
we were inside, she slammed me against the wall and

176
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.879
shoved her tongue down my throat. When we stopped kissing,

177
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:01.120
she pulled off her shirt and shit. Her nipples were

178
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.519
pierced too. I knew I was in trouble when she

179
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:09.360
started working on my jeans. We were all over that loft.

180
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.440
We couldn't stop kissing and touching each other. I'd never

181
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.879
forgotten how wonderful kissing Talia felt. All those years apart,

182
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:23.679
came rushing back. While we made love. I also discovered

183
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:29.320
more tattoos and piercings beneath her clothes. The gentle girl

184
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:35.759
I remembered had become a wild creature. We finally stopped

185
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:40.559
and lay together in bed. She lit up an herbal

186
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:45.840
cigarette and offered me one. Sure. She lit it from

187
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.200
hers and handed it to me. I never forgot you,

188
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:56.200
Talia said. I promised myself i'd find you again someday.

189
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.159
What happened to you? I thought your parents kept you

190
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:07.120
locked up in their gated community. Oh they did. Talia

191
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.679
explained that she had been homeschooled for a couple of years.

192
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.480
When she got tired of being kept under lock and key,

193
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.360
she ran away to her aunt's house. Her parents came

194
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.039
for her, but Talia made it clear she wasn't going

195
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.240
back by throwing just about anything she could pick up

196
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:33.080
at them. They got pissed and basically disowned her. And

197
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.039
I've been living with my aunt ever since. She finished.

198
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:43.120
Aunt live was always so cool and laid back, she sighed,

199
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.559
Now I know how my cousin Charity feels about being disowned.

200
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.879
After we finished our cigarettes, she lay on top of

201
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:58.720
me and looked into my eyes. I never stopped loving you, Buster,

202
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.720
how come you never found me? Then? I wanted to,

203
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.799
but aunt Live had to move to Ridgeway Heights to

204
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.039
keep her job, and she took me with her. I

205
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.640
wanted to call and tell you I was okay, but

206
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.640
god damn it, I never knew your last name. I

207
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:24.440
still don't. I feel like such a dumbass for never asking,

208
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:31.119
Buster Crane, I never told you my last name. Talia

209
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:35.559
shook her head. No, believe me, I would have remembered.

210
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.599
After we made love again, she lay on top of

211
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.640
me and told me that she'd had lovers, but that

212
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.480
was all they were. She could never commit to anyone

213
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:53.240
while she was still looking for me. I had to

214
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.599
know if I still had a chance with you. Talia said,

215
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.519
please don't tell me you have a girlfriend. I don't.

216
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.480
Talia caught the hesitation that doesn't sound like you don't

217
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:14.279
talk to me, Buster. I couldn't lie. I told her

218
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.640
about romy and everything that had happened between us, leaving

219
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:24.960
out that vampire part. Do you still love her? Talia asked,

220
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:28.680
you need to decide which one of us you want.

221
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.279
It took me years to find you, and I never

222
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.319
ever want to lose you again? I took firm hold

223
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.640
of her face. No, Talia, never again. I just got

224
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:47.319
you back, and I love you too. Talia and I

225
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.119
spent the night together. Before long, I moved into her loft.

226
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.400
Like when I was with Romy, we had sex as

227
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.839
often as we could when we went out. I saw

228
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.160
more of Talia's wild side in the clubs she brought

229
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.400
me to. We even fooled around in some of them.

230
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.799
In the back of my mind, I still wondered about Romy.

231
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:17.200
Could she really stay away? I was about to learn

232
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:24.920
she had no intention of doing that. Remember how Romy

233
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.880
and I had first started sleeping together during holiday break

234
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:33.079
when we were both still freshmen in high school. Well

235
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.039
around holiday break of my freshman year in college, she

236
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.400
came back into my life. Now we get to present

237
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:49.279
day and the part where things get complicated. Talia and

238
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.480
I are at a club in North Ridgeway, tearing it

239
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.119
up on the dance floor. Eventually we take a break.

240
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:01.440
Talia goes to the bar and I gotta go. I

241
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:07.440
walk into the unisex restroom and drain After washing my hands,

242
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:13.519
I turn around and see Romy Gillian standing there. How

243
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:17.039
long has she been there? I can't see her in

244
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:21.240
the mirror, no reflection. What you said to me last

245
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.480
summer really hurt, Romy says, But I still love you

246
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:31.799
with all my heart, and I forgive you. I want

247
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:37.839
you back. I look at her sharply. You did you

248
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:43.960
follow me here? She smiles. Obviously we have far too

249
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.559
much history for me to let you leave the way

250
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:51.240
you did. When someone starts pounding on the door and bitching,

251
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:57.079
I know Romy's locked it. There's nowhere to run, my love,

252
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.319
she whispers. I won't give up on you, not even

253
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.839
to that mirror. Girl. I don't care if she was

254
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.640
your first love. I know you still love me, and

255
00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:14.160
you can't erase everything we've been through. I point to

256
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:20.240
the door. I I'm with Talia. Now you need to

257
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:25.599
leave me alone, Romy. She smiles again, the kind that

258
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.960
tells me she knows I'm checking her out. God, I

259
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.839
can't help it. She's wearing an elegant black dress that

260
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:40.480
practically clings to her gorgeous body, along with stiletto heels.

261
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.839
I can hear your heart beating. I know you still

262
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.400
love me. Romy eases the straps of her dress aside

263
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:54.759
and lets it slide to the floor like Talia she

264
00:21:54.839 --> 00:22:01.799
never wears underwear. Damn, Romy is so beautiful. Take me, Buster,

265
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:06.839
I'm yours. I remember how Romy used to walk around

266
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:11.599
her house topless or in loose tops and robes that

267
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:17.319
barely covered her. That often led to sachs. Even now,

268
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:23.240
she's using her sexuality on me. Why do women have

269
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:28.720
such power over men? Romy comes to me, pulls me

270
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:33.480
against her, and kisses me. When I try to push

271
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:38.480
her away, she holds on and keeps kissing. I can't

272
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:43.880
help myself and kiss her back. Her naked skin is

273
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:48.480
so soft. Before I know it, I'm naked with her.

274
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.559
We're going at it hot and heavy. My current girlfriend

275
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.279
is waiting at the bar, and my former girlfriend is

276
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:01.640
a vampire. But here I am steaming up the restroom

277
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:12.039
with Romy. When we finish, I feel terrible for cheating

278
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.640
on Tallia and knowing I'm not over Romy. I'm still

279
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.200
madly in love with her. Romy knows it too. You

280
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:27.680
still have things at my house, Buster, Romy says. As

281
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:33.200
we dress, we can continue this in our bed. She

282
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.559
takes firm hold of my arm. I can feel that

283
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:43.119
you want to Oh God, I bellow. I bolt to

284
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.559
the restroom door and unlock it. The moment I pull

285
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:52.000
it open, I gasp, Romy is already standing on the

286
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.039
other side. She lifts me with one hand, brings me

287
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:01.559
back into the restroom, and locks the door again. You

288
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:07.759
will never run from me again, Buster Crane. I can

289
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.960
find you wherever you are. You don't think I'm going

290
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:14.759
to let you go after we just made love again?

291
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:21.119
Do you no? You're coming home with me? No? Romy,

292
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.519
don't you get it. Things can't be the way they

293
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:31.680
used to be. You're you're a vampire, Romy finishes. I

294
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:35.759
drink human blood to survive, but I'm not a monster.

295
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.119
You never let me explain the day you left. I

296
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:44.079
pay for the blood I drink. I have contacts at

297
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.480
area blood banks and buy from them so I don't

298
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:54.160
have to kill any innocent mortals. Suddenly, the door bursts open.

299
00:24:54.920 --> 00:25:00.240
Talia comes in and sees us. One look. Tell tells

300
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:07.720
her Romy and I just fucked. Talia shoves me really, Buster, Yeah,

301
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:13.920
I'd say she's pretty pissed. I groan in frustration. I'm

302
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:17.559
gonna go. I truly don't deserve either one of you.

303
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.519
Talia scoffs and blocks me. Oh the fuck you will.

304
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.119
You don't get to walk away. It took me years

305
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.880
to find you again. I'm not losing you now, especially

306
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:35.519
not to this cheap skank. Romy gasps, and Talia marches

307
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:39.680
right up to her. Listen to me, and listen. Good.

308
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:47.519
You were Buster's girlfriend, were past tense. He's not with

309
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:52.119
you anymore. Okay, you just fucked him, Now go away.

310
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:58.160
She sneers, don't you belong at some ritzy party. You

311
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.880
don't wear an evening gown like that to a place

312
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:07.240
like this. Romy gives her a sexy smile. That's right, honey,

313
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:12.319
Buster did make love to me three times. I have

314
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:16.279
far more history with him than you do, so why

315
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:22.599
don't Talia screams and lunges at Romy. Romy tosses her aside,

316
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.880
then looks at me. I know you still love me

317
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:32.319
after our intimacy. Just now, there's no way you can

318
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:37.640
deny it. Talia jumps onto Romy's back. Leave him alone,

319
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.640
God damn you. Romy easily shrugs her off. I take

320
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.960
Talia's hand and point to the mirror. Romy's a vampire.

321
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:53.160
When Talius sees the truth, she screams. We tear out

322
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:56.960
of the restroom, race across the dance floor, and rush

323
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:01.400
through the exit, almost knocking over. Another couple coming in.

324
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.799
We run for all we're worth. My heart pounds hard. Yeah,

325
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.359
I'm truly scared for the both of us. We keep

326
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:16.559
running until we can't go any farther, then duck into

327
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.759
an alley to catch our breath. You were in a

328
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:27.680
relationship with a vampire, Talia asks, God, damn God, ain't

329
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:32.839
gonna save your life, motherfuckers. A voice calls out. We

330
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:36.359
turn and see the couple we nearly knocked over. The

331
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.880
woman stands there with her boyfriend and four others. Shit,

332
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.359
we just had to piss off a gang. Now they

333
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:50.559
want payback. The woman grabs my crotch. I'm gonna fucking

334
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:53.480
choke yo Ho with this after I cut it off.

335
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:59.640
When she raises her knife, Talia reacts, fuck off, bitch.

336
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.279
She kicks the woman away. I shove her boyfriend on

337
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.880
to his ass, take Talia's hand, and run down the alley.

338
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:12.400
I can barely hear anything over the fear roaring in

339
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:18.240
my head. Then a sharp pain punches my chest. I

340
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.160
trip over my own feet and fall forward, feeling Talia's

341
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:27.279
hand slip from mine. I pass out when I hit

342
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:34.880
the pavement. I wake up and find I'm still alive.

343
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:40.680
I know I'm back in Strickfield because I'm in Romy's bed,

344
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:46.319
and I get scared all over again. And where's Talia.

345
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.880
I quickly find my clothes and get dressed. Man, I

346
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:56.559
am really thirsty. I grab a glass from the cupboard

347
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.759
and chug three glasses of water, and then I dart

348
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.680
out the back door and run from the house. It's

349
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:09.559
night and it won't be long before Romy comes hunting

350
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:14.000
for me. I run through the woods and eventually reach

351
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:20.759
downtown Strickfield. I stay where there are people and lights. Damn,

352
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:25.119
I'm thirsty again. After all that running. I walk into

353
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:29.200
Roth's Rings, the twenty four hour donut shop where I work,

354
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:34.160
and order a large coke. After downing it, I order

355
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.640
another one to go. I'm starting on that second coke

356
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:43.680
when I hear Hello, lover. I look over and see

357
00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:50.000
Romy leaning against the wall near the door. She's wearing

358
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:56.240
another sexy evening dress and stiletto heels to match, no jacket,

359
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:01.640
and it's wintry cold out here. I drop the coke

360
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:05.079
and run like hell. I turn down a couple of streets.

361
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:09.720
As I pass an alley, someone grabs me and pulls

362
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:17.400
me inside. Talia covers my mouth. Quiet. We wait to

363
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:22.559
see whether anyone is coming. After a moment, she removes

364
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:29.400
her hand, rubs against me, and kisses me. I wrap

365
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.880
my arms around her and kiss her back. I'm so

366
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:39.720
sorry I cheated on you, I say, since it was Romy,

367
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:44.559
I suppose I can understand. I know you still love her,

368
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:50.359
but I love you. She grabs me and growls. If

369
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:54.039
it had been any other girl, I'd have fucking killed you.

370
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:05.200
I do love you, I swear I do. Out of nowhere,

371
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:12.039
a big dog takes Talia down. No a wolf. I

372
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:16.119
run at the creature and tackle it. Leave us alone, Romy.

373
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:24.480
The wolf changes back into Romy as she's in my arms.

374
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.480
You know I love how you hold me lover. When

375
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.799
I let her go, Talia jumps on her. You heard buster.

376
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:39.640
Leave us alone. The girls get to their feet and fight.

377
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:46.720
Romy knows martial arts, has faster reflexes and possesses vampires strength.

378
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:53.240
She easily overpowers Talia, but she doesn't try to seriously

379
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:57.839
hurt her. I tackle Romy again, then help Talia to

380
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:01.799
her feet. Once I see she's fine, I take her

381
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.759
hand and we run. We reach Strickfield's Centennial Theater and

382
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:13.799
hide behind it. Damn it, I'm really thirsty again. I

383
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:18.599
gotta find something to drink. I tell Talia there's a

384
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:24.480
pop machine nearby. Get me one too. Talia replies, my

385
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.240
throat is so dry. When we start moving again, a

386
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:36.359
giant bat appears and changes into Romy. You too, might

387
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:40.880
as well stop running from me. She grabs me, pulls

388
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.880
me close, and uses a long fingernail to cut herself

389
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:52.640
above her left breast. Drink. I try to pull away. No,

390
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.880
I won't be like you. Romy vamps out and pushes

391
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:03.559
me against the wall. Oh but, my love, you already are.

392
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:09.480
She looks over her shoulder at Talia and you as well.

393
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:18.039
I should know I sired you both. What Talia shrieks, bullshit,

394
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:24.359
Romy lets me go, faces us both and un vamps.

395
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:30.480
It's true. Unfortunately I was too late to drive those

396
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:37.640
degenerate mortals away. They shot both of you fatally. I'm afraid,

397
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:44.440
she smiles. You were so delirious from losing so much blood,

398
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:48.279
you were about to die. So I took a little

399
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:52.240
blood from each of you. Then I opened my breast

400
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:57.200
and let you both drink from me. I brought you

401
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.720
back to my house and put you to bed for

402
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:05.799
two two days so you could transition. You both woke

403
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:12.679
sooner than normal. Talia escaped first, then Buster, and now

404
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:18.920
you're both very thirsty because you crave and require blood.

405
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:25.800
She cuts herself again. Come here, Talia, drink up, save

406
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:32.159
some for Buster. Talia obeys and drinks from Romy. When

407
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:37.199
she finishes, I take my turn. Romy is right. We

408
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:45.000
both feel fine after we drink. Talia is pissed off. Okay, Romy,

409
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:48.719
you fucking vamped me. I know you could have let

410
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:52.840
me die, but I'm not giving Buster up. I love him.

411
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:57.280
I searched for him for years. She begins to cry.

412
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:03.440
Don't you understand I can never be without him, not again,

413
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:09.960
nor can I. Romy tells her Buster and I were

414
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:15.239
together for four incredible years. I can't be without him

415
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:21.159
any more than you can. Talia tightens her fists. Then

416
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:24.639
why the fuck did you sire me? It would have

417
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:28.000
been only right for you to let me die. I'm

418
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:34.639
your rival in love. Romy caresses Talia's face. I'm not

419
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:39.360
a monster, and you were innocent. I would have saved

420
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:44.400
you regardless. Siring you was just the only way, and

421
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:48.639
I knew I would lose Buster's love if I let

422
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:53.960
you die. Talia shakes off Romy's hand and turns to me,

423
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.760
which one of us do you love? You need to

424
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:06.599
decide now. Romy laughs a little. That won't be necessary Talia.

425
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:13.920
Then she surprises us both by kissing Talia. She doesn't

426
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:19.920
fight back. She kisses Romy. Then they part and come

427
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:25.840
to me. Romy and I kiss first, then I kiss Talia.

428
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:29.719
I take them both into my arms and we hug.

429
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.719
When we part, I look at them. I can't choose

430
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:41.519
between you, I can't. I truly love you both. I

431
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:47.239
believe we've all made our choice. Romy replies, let's go home.

432
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:52.239
We turn into wolves and follow Romy back to her house.

433
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:57.280
We can't get there fast enough. Once inside, we resume

434
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:01.960
our human form. Talia kisses me hungrily, and I kiss

435
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:06.679
Romy with the same hunger. After the girls kiss passionately,

436
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.679
Romy takes one of our hands in each of hers

437
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:14.760
and leads us to her bedroom. They quickly get me

438
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:19.679
undressed and push me onto the bed. Romy and Talia

439
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:24.639
join me in seconds. I've never had a threesome before.

440
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.920
I'm not complaining, not when I'm with two women I

441
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:33.840
love so deeply. We spend the rest of the night

442
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:39.440
having hot sex. Near sunrise, Romy and Talia lie on

443
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.960
either side of me and we sleep through the day together.

444
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.639
Romy is our master now and is teaching Talia and

445
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:55.719
I are new vampire ways. She's also arranged for enough

446
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:59.159
blood to feed all three of us so we don't

447
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:03.760
have to worry about killing mortals. Being a vampire is

448
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:07.119
kind of fun once you get used to it. If

449
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:13.599
it means spending forever with these two, I'll gladly be one. Hugh,

450
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:18.760
what love God did I please to get such an

451
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:28.559
incredible reward? Well, my spookies, I guess love really can

452
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:33.559
last forever, at least in Strickfield. So if your ex

453
00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:39.320
shows up looking flawless talking about forever and avoiding mirrors,

454
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:43.840
maybe ask a few follow up questions before going home

455
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:46.400
with them. Thank you all so much for joining me

456
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:50.199
here for another week of spooky stories and Halloween fun

457
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:53.960
as we head into the spooky season in no time flat.

458
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.280
But right now it's hot outside and I'm enjoying it

459
00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:59.159
as best I can, and I hope you all are

460
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:03.360

480
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.679
