Part seven

It was still storming when he reached the apartment, once inside he let out a growl and punched a wall. Bits and pieces of sheet rock and plaster would explode under his power as said, “Damn it.” with his hand still against the wall he rested his forehead on it and attempted to stabilize his rage. He could feel his body shaking and he took a deep breath to steady himself, he had killed Ethan. His rage had bested him, what the hell could he do though he had been willing to kill Sage just to prove a point. He swallowed hard as he remembered finding her in Ethan’s arms and the smell of her blood, the words Ethan had spoken to her, after that he had seen red. What did Sage think about him now, did she hate him, was she scared of him? It would make things easier if she were scared of him or hated him, at least he could leave and she could maybe move on. He finally began to catch his breath and as he did he would remove his hand from the hole in his wall and turn placing his back to the wall. Sliding down the wall he would rest his arms on his raised knee’s and close his eyes, “Leon are you here?” he heard Sage’s frantic voice as she came through the door, what the hell was she doing here?
“Sage what the hell, you shouldn’t be here.” he said getting up and meeting her, she immediately went into his arms and placed her head on his chest.
“I had to make sure you were okay.” he sighed hearing that she was worried about him.
“I’m fine, you?” she nodded against his chest, “I’ll live but I was so worried about you.” he kissed the top of her head and swallowed hard as he smelled her blood, “Sage you’re bleeding.” pulling away from him she apologized which for some reason made him laugh.
“Come on let’s take care of your lip.” she nodded and followed him to the kitchen where he retrieved a first aid case, “What about you?” he laughed again and said, “Sage I’m a vampire, I heal quickly.”
“Oh right.” she said and set down as he began to clean her lip, “What did you tell the council?” she jumped and her eyes narrowed as he cleaned the wound, “Sorry.”
“I told them the truth, I just left you out of it.” he sighed and set back in the chair, “Are you sure that was for the best?”

What was he saying, it was like he wanted to be punished for killing Ethan. If he hadn’t killed Ethan they might both be dead, “Why are you acting this way?”
“What way Sage, I killed him.” shrugging he added, “I am not above the law.”
“He would have killed me though.”
“It doesn’t matter Sage, it was still murder no matter how much you sugar coat it.” she felt herself get angry at his mood, “So you’re saying you deserve to die?” he laughed, “Sage I’ve been alive for hundreds of years.
