They stood face to face. Vampire and Hunter. Scott and Avid. Scott was happy and his claws dripping with blood. Avid stood grief stricken and angry, looking at the vampire. The sounds of the fire rustled behind them, from the ruins of Oakhurst.
Avid wanted to scream, shout, to plunge a stake through Scott’s heart for what he did to the people of Oakhurst. And yet, he did nothing. He only watched as Scott started walking towards him, offering his hand.
“Would you care for a dance, my darling?”, he said, and what else could Avid do but accept?
Scott wrapped his hands around Avid’s waist, and Avid laid his arms on Scott’s. They started dancing in a slow rhythm. No words were spoken, only them, the forest and the fire behind them.
Every now and then Avid would look into Scott’s eyes, those beautiful and mesmerizing crimson eyes, before glancing away from embarrassment. Scott would only laugh and tighten his grip on Avid.
They danced for a while. To Avid it felt like forever, but it was probably only an hour. Soon, they slowed to a stop. Scott pulled away, before cupping Avid’s face instead. Avid couldn’t help but blush from embarrassment, and Scott only chuckled.
“Who would have thought that the big bad vampire hunter could be tamed, like this?”, Scott mocked, amusement clear in his voice.
“Shut up”, Avid hissed. “I will kill you, for everything you’ve done”.
Scott only laughed, letting go of Avid’s face in the process. When he turned to look back at Avid, there was something more dark and sinister in his eyes.
“You can certainly try, dear hunter”, he hummed. “But you’ve failed today, what makes you think you will succeed next time?”.
Avid stayed silent, only staring up at Scott with a glare. Scott only chuckled, caressing Avid’s cheek.
“That’s what I thought”, he said, before planting a small kiss on Avid’s forehead.
Soon, Scott will take Avid back to the castle with the other vampires. Soon, Scott will shower him in beautiful clothes and jewelry. Soon, Avid will be Scott’s and no one will get between them.
But right now, Scott took Avid’s hand in his and started dancing, once again.
