tagged: anton leblanc music: cobra starship ♥ nice guys finish last notes: i was grounded for a tiny bit so i wrote my post in a journal first and now i am re-writing it here. words: 466 Putting on some comfy gray sweatpants with a cute pink hoodie, Dom looked at her reflection one more time. Blond hair around her shoulders, striking blue eyes, and a figure to die for. Then she turned around lifting up the back of her hoodie to see it again. Dom wasn’t sure how she felt about it. It was definitely a whole love/hate deal. A few nights ago Dominique and her friend Peyton went out drinking. One thing led to another and she came home with a tramp stamp. Just another reason for people to call her a slut but she knew it wasn’t that bad. At least she could hide this during the winter, summer was a different story.
Adjusting herself yet again Dom left her room for Prefect duties. She didn’t hate this; she just let kids get away with a lot of things. Not like those Slytherins. Wait. What was she thinking? Dom was dating one. And she knew he couldn’t be that bad. At least he wasn’t bad around her. She actually was pretty much head over heels for the guy. But she wouldn’t let anyone know this not even herself. Damn Jack for reading her every though. Probably wouldn’t like it that she was dating a Slytherin or that a Slytherin was dating her. Yet she didn’t care. Right now she had a guy who cared for her. That was all she needed. And since when did she care what other people though? Not now, not ever. Just thinking of Anton was putting a smile on her face. He tended to always to pop up in her thoughts somehow. She of course didn’t mind this at all.
Absentmindedly, Dom caught herself that she had begun to walk toward the Slytherin common room. Where Anton probably was since she was on Prefect duty. She wasn’t to the common room just yet but was around one of the Potions classroom. To be honest this section of the dungeons gave her the creeps. Especially since it was past curfew now too. Yeah probably should have had taken the duty with Chris but left without telling him. Dominique looked quickly down the hallway to make sure no students were out. As far as she could tell none were. Could use her wand if she hadn’t left it on her nightstand. She took two large steps toward the way she came then set off at a run. Yeah it really did give her the creeps and she just wanted to leave as soon as possible. She would have felt much better if she had Anton down here with her. Yet running in the dark wasn’t always the safest or the best idea. And soon enough Dom being the klutz she is ran into something. A wall, maybe?

Anton hadn't been to classes in a couple of days. After what had happened with Beryx, there was no way that he could stand being around people. Thirst had gotten the best of him and after resisting for a few days, he was forced to give in. He refused to kill another human being, so he preyed mostly on the larger animals in the forbidden forest. However, the thirst went unsuppressed. At one point when he was wandering the forest, he was bested by the need for more blood. A straggling explorer crossed his path and his heart beat was magnified, almost to the point of being the only thing that anton could hear. He went into a frenzy and drained the poor man of every last drop. It wasn't who Anton wanted to be, he hated the feeling of not being able to control himself. After that little incident, he refused to walk around any more. He found a quiet spot in the forest that was shaded all around and just lay there. He grew weaker until he decided that he needed to get back to the castle sometime. Then his thoughts turned.
Dom. What was he going to do about his girlfriend? There was no way that he could stand to be around all these people, let alone her, and not end up losing it and killing several students. It pained him more than anything, knowing that he couldn't be around , especially ones that he loved. He couldn't go back now, he wouldn't be able to. All of his thoughts kept going back to Dom and what her reaction would be. She would no doubt already be worried about his disappearance, but then to hear that he's a vampire, she would probably run screaming in the other direction. Vampires meant bad news.
After a long debate with himself, Anton decided to return to the castle. It was nighttime, and he was sure that he needed to be on grounds for his prefects duties. The cold wasn't an issue for him. He noticed that after his scuffle with Beryx, his many layers were pealed off, even shredded, leaving him with just a t-shirt, which had some tears in it, and his pants. His shoes seemed to be missing as well, but it still didn't effect him. He was a tattered up mess, and he knew people would notice. Once inside the castle again, it took all of his strength and willpower to keep himself under control. Luckily, it was close to curfew and most students had gone to bed, but there were a few stragglers, who shot questioning looks his way. He continued on, at a fast pace, trying to make it down to his common room for a change of clothes before meeting with his father to get his patrol assignments. He rounded a corner and before he knew it, a girl had run into him.
"Excuse me..." His breath caught in his chest, not that he needed to breathe, it was just habit. It was Dom who was standing in front of him. His vision became blurry, something that had never happened. The last time he was this close to a human was when he killed the explorer, and it obviously didn't end too well. He immediately took a step back, eyes slightly wide, nostrils flared and muscles tensed. He wasn't ready for this.

tagged: anton leblanc music: none notes: haha she hugged him! words: 530
Usually Dominique never showed when she was scared. Over the years she has become an excellent actress at hiding her emotions. She just covered them up with fake ones and tried to push the other emotions to the back of her mind. Not like that helped much since her thoughts still always buzzed around but hey most people feel for it. No one knew that having death eaters after her scared her. She put up such a brave act with Lily that most of them probably thought she would be an amazing dueler. Which she wasn’t she just was good at charms. Having someone try and kill you many times did give you some courage but also some paranoia. Like in dark hallways. Well dark hallways have always scared her because she never knew who was where. Probably would scare anyone really.
Looking up at the ‘wall’ she hit she was surprised and very happy to see it wasn’t a wall it was her boyfriend. Anton. The fear of the dark washed away immediately seeing him standing there. She hasn’t seen him in what felt like forever. Where has he been anyways? Never mind she would ask those questions in a bit. Before she even noticed that he took a step back Dominique wrapped her arms around him hugging him. “Hey,” she said simply greeting him when she let go “Where have you been? I’ve missed you.” He seemed sort of shocked to see her down here and that was probably all right. Usually she wouldn’t come down here. The Slytherins could always patrol this section so it didn’t make sense for a Hufflepuff to be down here. But she was down here anyways. And yes she was happy she was down here now. She got to see her boyfriend.
The atmosphere around the two felt a bit different. Well not really around Dom but just what was there between them wasn’t there, now? If that made any sense. Taking a better look at Anton she finally noticed how his clothing was torn pretty much everywhere. No shoes, just a t-shirt and what was left of his pants. It was the middle of winter! What was he thinking! “Anton, aren’t you cold? Where is the rest of your clothing?” She continued her inspection and noticed he didn’t look that well. What had happened to him in the time she didn’t see him? Dominique took a half step back just trying to take in his whole appearance. She was probably a foot shorter than him maybe a bit less.
“Are you okay?” she finally knowing that she should have probably asked that first. Someone with a normal brain would have asked that instead of asking about clothing. Yet that was just the first thing she noticed and it wasn’t like every day she saw guys with tattered clothing on. Dom was worried about him. First he wasn’t around for a while and now this? No answers to why he was looking like this were popping up in her head. All she was thinking about was that if he was okay and if he wasn’t what could she do to fix it.

Before Anton even knew it, Dom had wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. It was so bad. Her smell, like all the other humans, was intense, tantalizing. All of the cells in his body yelled for the blood, but he was just barely able to refuse his instincts. He stood while she hugged him, arms pressed tightly to his sides, not breathing and eyes closed. Once he felt her release, he reopened them and looked at her. She was truly gorgeous, but for some reason she seemed even more so. It was like she had become more vibrant, more... Attractive. More... Tasty. Anton caught himself. He refused to allow his mind to wander in any remote direction of taking another person's life. It wasn't who he was going to be. But the blood, ohhhhh the blood. It pulsed through her veins and he could just pick up the slight "bum bump" of her heart beat in the indent of her neck. He pried his eyes away from the spot, knowing that at any moment he might lose control. Then she spoke.
“Hey,” she said simply greeting him when she let go “Where have you been? I’ve missed you.”
"Same," was all he could get out. But words meant opening his mouth, and that meant tasting the smell of blood, and possibly revealing his newly formed canines. He ignored the whole "where have you been?" as he knew that it would come out soon, once she realized what his clothing looked like. If there was one person that he wanted to never hurt, it was Dom and now here she was, standing right in front of him, in complete and utter danger. With no knowledge of what had happened.
“Anton, aren’t you cold? Where is the rest of your clothing?
There it was, and there was no possibility of changing the topic. "I... erm... I got into a bit of an accident." On the word accident, he opened his mouth more than he wanted and it was filled with the aromas he so dreaded. Anton was sure that she could see his sharp, pearly white canines. His salivary glands started working overtime. This was it. This was going to be the end of it all. No, no it wasn't. Anton forced himself to focus on the conversation. "More along the lines of a fight." His eyes widened a bit. He could feel the bite marks still aching on his neck. What if she saw? What would she think? What would he tell her? Was it best to lie to protect himself and the relationship? But he couldn't say any more, at risk of losing it all. It would be bad. At her asking him if he was okay, he just nodded.

Something had changed. That much Dominique knew for sure. Usually when she went up to Anton and hugged him she at least got a hug back and a kiss on the cheek or something. Tonight he just stood there and it was like he was trying to not touch her at all. Not wanting to be near her. Yet quickly she pushed those thoughts out of her head. She was being silly. Just overreacting slightly and why he hasn’t been around. Would happen to anyone. Just the nerves playing up making her think crazy thoughts. So his appearance changed slightly and so has her personality somewhat. Well probably not his whole personality just how he acted when he was around her. And this bothered her slightly. Dom couldn’t remember anything she did to him that might make him upset or act the way he was acting. The whole relationship deal was new to her but she was trying her hardest. And she would figure this one out.
Hearing his answer made Dom want to figure this out more. The one word answer didn’t prove anything and he totally skipped over her other question. One purpose she knew. Usually when you were going out with someone they answered pretty much every question. It just made things easier. But since Dominique wanted to figure out what was going on she was going to play dumb. It would probably be the easiest way to get some sort of answer of out him. Or at least get a few more clues onto what was going on here.
The word accident has never been a good word in Dom’s vocab. She has used the word accident to describe what happened between Lily and her. The night Lily tried to kill her; she had said that was an accident. What did Anton mean by accident? She could swear her heartbeat probably almost stopped but she knew when her nerves acted up it just kept going faster. And wait, what was that? Did she just see that his teeth looked a bit longer than usual? Or was it just the lighting down here. A fight? Dominique shut her eyes for a long moment before opening them again. “With who? And are you hurt?” Yes she was asking him again because she didn’t believe him the first time. “Let me rephrase that. What was the outcome?” Yeah that was a bit better. She guessed that the guy had to be in worse shape than Anton was.
Tilting her head to the side Dominique tried to make sure she didn’t miss anything about him. She let her eyes start at his feet and just go up slowly making sure she didn’t miss a scratch, bruise or something like that. So far up to his chest he was fine. The clothing was torn but there didn’t seem to be any scratched underneath. No blood either on his clothing. Looking at his neck now she thought it looked different. Yet she stored that in the back of her mind as she made sure his face wasn’t injured. “And you still say you are all right?” yes when she cared for someone she worried about them. And hearing Anton got into a fight made her want to make sure he was absolutely fine.

Anton was surprised at his control. Granted he had a few days to get things under control, but still. The last time he "ate" was two days ago, and he was sure that he wouldn't be able to go much longer. He already felt weak, tired, like a human if they hadn't slept in three days straight. All of his energy went towards keeping his thirst under control, which meant very little of it was to keep him standing. It was hard, harder than anything Anton had ever dealt with. But it was worth it if he could postpone being a monster until Dom had left and he was safely inside the forbidden forest, where all the creatures were fair game.
“With who? And are you hurt? Let me rephrase that. What was the outcome?”
"Um, some stupid kid from Gryffindor. And it was only minor. He ended up running away and leaving me outside." He wanted to blurt it out so many times, the whole being a vampire thing, but he didn't want to say it to her. He didn't want to see her reaction. He wasn't ready for it. He knew, that by the end of the night, she would know. She wasn't dumb and the way she kept looking him over, she was bound to find the marks on his neck, the ones that meant everything. "But i will be fine in time." If only she really knew what "i will be fine in time" meant. Anton now had eternity to be fine, it just felt like it was never going to be all right.
And there it was, like a stab in the stomach with a knife. She looked right at his neck, and he could tell by her slight change in facial expression that she saw something. But he was going to leave it to her to figure out. As he stood there, he felt himself grow weaker. Restraining was definitely harder than he thought it would be, and soon, he had slumped onto the floor into a sitting position, leaning against the wall. Anton knew that this was going to worry her, but maybe him latching onto her neck might be a little worse. He shut his eyes, then stopped his breathing facade, he needed that energy for other things.
“And you still say you are all right?”
"Yeah," was all that came out again. It felt terrible, hiding something from her that could be detrimental to their relationship. She must be starting to hate him and the pain in his stomach grew worse, not the hunger, but the pain he had for not being honest. This was going to end their relationship, even though that's not what he wanted.

Never before has Dominique never cared about a guy this much. This was true that she hasn’t been with Anton long but there was something special there. It was absolutely crazy how she felt about him and she was hiding those feelings. It was something she has just always done because why show guys that she liked them. All they ever did was break her hearts. And then she broke theirs. With Anton she was a completely different person and everything just seemed fine with him around. Seeing him like this was tearing her apart. And now he was lying! Usually Dom just believed people but after being around Anton she could tell the truth from a lie. Soon enough she would call him out.
Letting out a long sigh she looked at Anton again trying to see if it was a lie. It sounded like the truth. Stupid Gryffindor student. She was surprised he looked as bad as he did. Yet she was guessing there was more to the story. There had to be because Anton was a big guy and all around muscular. Anyone who would try and fight him was an idiot. And with his torn clothing Dominique could just tell something went bad. “If he left, how come you’re wearing such little clothing?” yeah it probably sounded like she was interrogating him but she just wanted the truth. Dom couldn’t come up with an idea why he would lie to her. She has already seen her fair share of nightmares. Hell, her own cousin tried killing her four times and the death eaters didn’t want her alive. She was pretty good at handling things.
If he hadn’t sat on the ground Dom was ready to hit him, not like it would do much damage. Yet she remained standing. For once she was taller than. An idea popped into her head and maybe with her skills she could pull it off. It would involve her lying but he would hopefully get over it. She crossed her arms over her chest and put most of her weight on her left hip. “Are you done lying to me?” she asked him making sure she looked at him. Dominique didn’t want him looking away from her. She made sure that she did keep an eye on him to make sure nothing went wrong. Just in case he was really injured. Dom honestly had no idea what was wrong with him but she could act like she did.
The only way she could probably get it out of him was to make him feel somewhat bad for lying to her. She hated to do it but what else was there to do? He wasn’t telling her anything and everything didn’t end up. The idea of the mark on his neck came back to the front of her head but she pushed it back. In a moment, if she knew it or not, it would make sense. “Anton, I know.” She said slowly keeping eye contact with him. Again she really did have no clue what was going on. But she was pretty sure he would give it up soon. “And I’m not leaving.”

“If he left, how come you’re wearing such little clothing?”
Anton couldn't help but smile. Even in his state, he loved Dom more than anything and the comment forced his lips to turn up. "He stole them?" He raised his eyebrow, seeing if she would pick up on the joke. She wasn't stupid, so he knew she'd figure it out. Maybe right now wasn't time for sarcasm. "No, but during the fight, they got torn and stuff." It was vague, but again necessary to protect her. "It's honestly nothing."
“Are you done lying to me?”
His cold, dead, un-beating heart dropped. She knew he was lying and it was the last thing that he wanted. "Yes, I am done." He wanted so bad to just get up and walk away, because he was already hurting her. He hated himself more than ever. Why was this so difficult? "I'm sorry." He looked her full in her absolutely gorgeous eyes. He got lost in them like he did when he first met her and he realized that he needed to make things work. Her eyes then glanced at his neck, then back into his eyes. Here we go.
“Anton, I know.”
Anton struggled to keep his composure. He knew that his eyes had gotten a little wider, but just a tiny bit. He hoped that she didn't pick up on it. "How did you know? And if you do know, why are you still standing there talking to me? I could hurt you any second, yet you stay by my side, asking about my clothing like you still care about me." His heart dropped even lower. If she really did know, then she knew about every single lie he had just told her and he was sure that she was pissed beyond belief.
“And I’m not leaving.”
It was good to have reassurance that she would not leave his side, but now that he had just confirmed what she knew, or didn't know, how could she sit next to something as dangerous as him? It didn't make sense. Maybe she didn't know after all and after him blurting out what he did, she figured it out. The stress that had just overcome him was overwhelming. He shut his eyes, still not fake breathing. This was it, the moment that he was dreading. He was about to lose control, unable to fight it much longer. He forced his concentration onto the task that he had been assigned when he was bitten. Control. Hopefully love alone would save Dominique Weasley.

It was like Dom’s eyes have never seen anything as beautiful as Anton’s smile. She felt great that she had managed to get a smile on his face. Even though it was kind of a serious conversation Dominique had to smile to and hold back a light laugh. Now that was an answer she would expect from her boyfriend. The smile didn’t leave her lips. She was just happy enough that she got him to smile. “Its freezing out there.” She said pointing out the obvious and then her outfit. Since she was dressed warmly. “And I was sure it was nothing.” She said making her eyes roll up slightly but she continued to smile. Dom’s spirits seriously just lifted seeing him smile. She could definitely do this.
Seeing him look so apologetic Dominique went and sat on the ground right in front of him. It did please her slightly that he was done lying but she hated how she knew she was probably making him feeling. She didn’t want to hurt him and never would. And as long as Anton didn’t lie to her she would be fine. Yet she guessed he had a good reason. Soon enough she would find that out since she did lie slightly earlier. “It’s all right. You did it for me.” She said giving him a smile and just going along with it. Dom knew whatever he was hiding he was hiding from her. Probably to protect her.
Being at this level she was able to take in his whole reaction to her lie. He fell right for it but he never said what exactly had happened. “I am here because I know you won’t hurt me and second because I do care for you. That won’t stop any time soon.” Dom said telling him sincerely. She wasn’t going to stop caring for him. It just wasn’t in her. “It would take a whole lot more for me to leave you. My cousin tried killing me four times and I still talk with her.” She said quietly not looking at him but at the hard floor. Most people didn’t know about her fights with her youngest cousin. There was even a scar on her stomach to prove how far their fights got. Yet she wasn’t leaving him. Dominique might even answer she didn’t care as long as she was with him.
Suddenly out of nowhere it hit her. Everything came into her head at once and it was all because as she looked over him yet again she noticed his chest wasn’t rising. He wasn’t breathing. The mark on his neck. Him not wanting to be close to her. And amazingly she still wasn’t scared. She was beyond pissed at whoever did this to her boyfriend. It was obvious he wasn’t happy now. “Do you want me to leave? Will it be easier?” she asked quietly not wanting to look at him because she didn’t want to leave. That was why she was asking. If Anton wanted her to leave she wouldn’t come back. Yet if he wanted her to stay she wasn’t going to leave his side.

“I am here because I know you won’t hurt me and second because I do care for you. That won’t stop any time soon. It would take a whole lot more for me to leave you. My cousin tried killing me four times and I still talk with her.”
Anton loved hearing those words come out of Dom's mouth and they just reinforced his strong feelings for her. She truly was the greatest girl he had ever met, let alone dated. Suddenly the pain he felt for blood was washed away momentarily and replaced with complete and utter passion for her. He was really in love. However, those words weren't on the topic at hand. She really didn't know about his change at all. He couldn't help but smile. She had lied to get the truth out. Damn she was smart. Anton wanted to get away from her as fast as he could just so that he could hide the embarrassment of completely spilling the truth to such an old trick. Classic.
"I love you so much, i don't want you to leave me either. But you really don't know what's wrong. Otherwise, you would be running the other way, and somewhere in that beautiful, well thought pair of sentences you just said, you would have brought up what you know happened." He smiled slightly. He had said too much for his body to handle and his pupils dilated. They were almost completely black now, and to keep Dom from being scared out of her mind, he shut his eyelids quickly. He was getting worse and soon enough, he wouldn't even be able to walk, he'd be so weak from holding himself back. He just kept thinking about Dom and how amazing she is to prevent himself from losing it. Then he heard her speak.
“Do you want me to leave? Will it be easier?”
He looked into her deep blue eyes, and mustered out some words, trying so hard to not only control himself, but to reassure her that she could stay. "No, i want you to stay with me. I'm just afraid that i'm going to hurt you and i would never in a million years want that. It is your decision to sit beside me right now, and i don't care how hard it is for me, i want you hear." He forced a smile, and somewhat regretted it. It was a time for him to show his fangs, something that he was so ashamed of. He quickly came out of the smile and looked at the ground. "Sorry." Before the end of the night, Anton was going to explain in full detail what happened, and who did it to him. Dom deserved to know everything.

Dominique was absolutely crazy for Anton. She was surprised at herself for trusting him so quickly and well falling for him so quickly. Normally that would never happen and she was a bit more careful to never get this close. Yet with Anton she wanted to get close to him. Everything about him she loved and he made her mind pretty much g blank. Nothing else mattered when he was around and all her eyes saw was him. It pleased her so much finally this conversation was getting somewhere. That he wasn’t going to be afraid to tell her of what happened. She knew what happened to him but didn’t know the story. Then he was smiling again. It seemed like her insides melted when she saw that. Dom couldn’t be happier knowing that her trick worked and that Anton cared for her.
“I love you too. And I’m not going to leave you. It just won’t happen. I’m not going to run away from a vampire. Because I am going to be staying with Anton LeBlanc.” Dominique said looking at him and moving over so she sat next to him and not in front of him. This was the first time she had ever said those three words to someone. And it felt fine coming out of her mouth. It was foreign but she meant it. Never before has anyone ever actually meant those words to her. She also smiled and looked down at her lap when he commented about those sentences. “You weren’t telling me anything. I had too.” She said now smiling up at him. “It worked though.”
Hearing those words Dom reached over and took Anton’s hand into hers. Colder than usual but it still fit perfectly into hers. She laced her fingers into his and just looked down at them then back up at Anton. “I trust you. You won’t hurt me.” She said continuing to smile up at him. Even sitting down she was a few inches shorter than him. “And again I'm not leaving.” She watched his mouth as she spoke so she saw the fangs. Still they didn’t scare her. She trusted him fully and knew he was never going to hurt her. “Tell me what happened.” So I can go kill the guy who did this to you. Yet she didn’t voice that. Wouldn’t want to worry Anton now would she.

“I love you too. And I’m not going to leave you. It just won’t happen. I’m not going to run away from a vampire. Because I am going to be staying with Anton LeBlanc."
Relief washed over Anton when he listened to her speak. Her voice was just so soothing that it made him feel as if they would be together for forever, or for as long as her life lasted. He sighed contentedly and for another brief moment, he forgot what he was and focused on what was before him; a gorgeous girl who loved him and whom he loved back. She was now sitting next to him, a little close, but he was able to manage with thoughts of her. His mind kept straying to one thing however. How would their lives be together? Everything felt so right that he couldn't imagine his life without her, but what would happen when she grew older and he stayed in his seventeen year old body? He pushed that from his mind, he had plenty of time to deal with that and they would figure it out together.
Anton was somewhat surprised when she took his hand. It was the ultimate confirmation however, that she was willing to stay with him, despite the situation. He just wanted to hold her tight and never let go. Their hands still felt perfect together, and hers felt so warm in his, so much more than before. Then he realized that his skin must be cold, after all, he is dead. But even so, it clearly didn't bother her, since she didn't retract her hand from his. The touch, though, was enough to set him off. He definitely hadn't been this close to someone with a beating heart since he turned and it was as if the mere touch of skin was intoxicating.
“I trust you. You won’t hurt me.Tell me what happened.”
"Well that makes one of us," he said smiling softly. He was looking down at their hands together. His, pale white and stony, hers tan and warm. "I'm sorry, it's just..." He didn't know how to phrase what he wanted to say. On one hand, he could be completely blunt and tell her exactly what had happened, or he could bend the truth. Maybe the truth was what was needed. "I haven't, erm, you know, done that in a while, and it's just getting hard to control. And on top of that, i'm scared that what happened to the explorer will be repeated." If she wasn't scared by now, that should do it. "But you will better understand if you hear the whole story..." And so he began telling what happened.
"I went down to the Great Hall almost a week and a half ago for my Prefect's patrol assignment and of course my father made me patrol outside. I saw something off in the distance and walked towards it. I was so tired... I reached it and realized that it was a deer sleeping, and in hindsight, i know that it was dead. I turned to walk back to the castle and there he was, walking to a secret pathway." He purposely left out the name of the vampire until Dom wanted to know. "We had an argument and i threw some punches. He broke my wrist and then punched me in the mouth, making me bleed. I guess that's what caused it. He bit, and then almost didn't stop. It was so excruciating. And then before i knew it, i was this...." He trailed off, feeling the anger that he did when he was face to face with Beryx for the first time after the change. He realized that he was squeezing Dom's hand tightly, he wasn't sure if it was hurting her, but he let go. "Sorry..." He then continued on. "I ran off, refusing to believe that it happened. I tried to suppress my thirst, run away from it all. But i couldn't forever and i killed a few animals. And then the explorer, oh the explorer. He smelled so tantalizing...." He caught himself and abruptly apologized again. "I can't believe i actually......" He couldn't continue on with the topic. "So i just laid down in the forest and refused to move, making my hunger go away and growing weaker and weaker. But i knew that i had to come back, so here i am. I still haven't fed in a few days, that's why i'm worried." Anton finished with a sigh, and looked into Dom's eyes again. "I don't want to be a monster."

Never before has Dom spoke ‘I love you’ to anyone except her family. For a while she never thought it would belong to her vocabulary. She was just one of those girls who didn’t think the word applied to her. When she was younger her mother taught her that guys would like her just for her appearance. And that got her thinking that all guys would just like her for appearance. And not care about her personality and what she had to say. For a while that did happen to her because she made it that way. Hell, guys who she never even talked to before proposed to her in Diagon alley. It was funny when it happened but still got her thinking that if this guy just proposed to her for her looks. Who would she find someone who truly liked her? Then along came Anton.
Love at first sight wasn’t something Dominique necessarily believed in. Well it hasn’t happened to her but it was pretty close. It was just when she first met Anton for once she was nervous and couldn’t believe how she acted. Normally with guys she was cool and confident. Anton totally flipped it for her. She loved the feeling that formed inside of her when around him and she could actually talk to him. She knew he has to be important because never before did she feel like this. Even with him being a vampire that was the last thing on her mind. Dom just wanted to stay with him and not leave his side at all. And most likely she wouldn’t. She was also sort of guessing that Anton wouldn’t leave her either.
Listening to him stumble over words or at least trying to find some, she had to smile. He was doing everything possible to keep her safe. And she couldn’t help but love the feeling of someone being so protected of her. The explorer was something she didn’t hear about but guessed that Anton wasn’t able to control himself. Dom squeezed his hand lightly but knew it probably only felt like a tiny touch. “It will just take some time. I’m sure whatever happened to the explorer won’t happen again.” She said remaining calm and her voice soft. She didn’t want to think about Anton taking someone’s life so kept herself happy with how she knew he was. He wouldn’t hurt her. She was confident that he wouldn’t. Dom just nodded her head when he said he would tell her about it.
It was hard to keep her emotions to herself as he told of what happened. She noticed how he didn’t say who did this to him. And well Dom did want to know. Why would this Gryffindor dare turn her boyfriend into a vampire? When he talked about the pain she couldn’t help but let her head drop and feel saddened at what happened to him. His pain was her pain. Then hearing that he almost died and wasn’t turn she couldn’t help but show how shocked she was. A life without him? Anger was just boiling inside her for this guy who changed him. Then for a few moments it felt like her hand went numb. Anton was holding her hand too tightly but she tried to not show that it was hurting her. Yet she saw that he caught himself and let go, apologizing. “I am so sorry.” She said almost crying. Anton didn’t deserve this and now he was stuck like this. She quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She shouldn’t d this in front of Anton. “You probably should go feed. I’ll wait.” Dom said smiling up at him. She would rather have him go out and feed but she didn’t even know if he was strong enough to do that. She would want to help him but didn’t know if she even could.

The feeling of sitting next to someone you loved was amazing. Even in his state, love poured off of him and it made him forget somewhat about his new life. Anton had told girls before that he loved them, but the feelings weren't reciprocated. With Dom it was different. Anton actually meant the three words and said them with confidence because he knew that was how Dom felt about him. How fast things had moved since the first day they met. He did not regret talking to her that snowy day. The way that they both felt about each other started like arson and kept going to new heights. It made Anton feel weightless.
Anton was still dancing around the fact of who actually turned him. He had a long debate in his head as to whether or not he should tell Dom. He didn't want to put her in danger, and after Beryx hadn't refrained from biting him, there was no saying what he would do to someone as gorgeous as Dom. However, she deserved to know, maybe she would just stay away from him, out of fear that he might try to attack her, or anyone else that knew Beryx Silvasi had turned a student. That turned his attention to something else. Would whomever turned him be upset he turned another? What if they tried to get to Anton and end him before he lost control? It was a scary thought to him, maybe it was best to keep Dom out of it.
Anton felt very protective of Dom now. She was soon going to be a part of it, more than he wanted her to be. He had to look out for her safety, because if anyone came after her in the vampire world, it would be entirely his fault. He would never be able to forgive himself and he couldn't live eternity without Dom by his side. Wait, what? Eternity with Dom? He wouldn't ever think about turning her, apart from that last thought. It wasn't something that anyone would ever agree to have, a cursed life. Anton was planning on refusing if the topic was ever brought up by her. But now, he was going to tell her who had changed his life.
“I am so sorry.”
Anton put his icy fingers under her chin and lifted her head up. "Don't cry, please. And don't be sorry, there was nothing that either of us could have done to prevent this, or change how it ended." He got choked up a little bit, reminded of how his entire life had changed. Then, he did something a little daring. He kissed her for the first time in what seemed like forever. The spark was still there, and so was his thirst. He pulled back before he got going too much. "Sorry..." He was mostly sorry for how cold his lips had to have been, but he was also sorry for the danger that hid behind even a simple kiss.
“You probably should go feed. I’ll wait.”
"I don't want to leave you," he said, smiling.

What could she say? Dominique was in love with Anton. And admitting that to herself was a big step for her. She always knew there was something special about him, but she didn’t want to admit that to herself. For one she never thought that anyone could actually love her. Her looks were a major reason why guys were attracted to her but she could just tell her liked her personality more. The looks really weren’t that much of a factor with him. Yet she guessed he still loved her looks. Sometimes she caught him looking at her and again her stomach got knotted up. In a good way of course. Nothing was better than having Anton around. That was probably why she could never leave his side. She wouldn’t for once since after she spoke those words something happened. Dom was planning on spending all her time with him.
Looking up at him Dom couldn’t help but smile. This was her Anton. Nothing looked different about him except well for the lack of clothing. But quickly his real personality was coming back. That was what really mattered to her. Before her own parents got married her father was mauled by a werewolf. Leaving his whole face scarred and his leg deformed. Her mum having more veela in her than Dominique did still stayed with him. Even though the Weasley family didn’t think it would happen. And Dom felt the same way toward Anton. Sure he was a vampire but there was really no other reason why to leave him. He was perfect for her and she wouldn’t trade the way he made her feel for anything in the world. Being around him was like a drug to her and the more she was with him the longer she wanted to stay. Maybe she was going through some sort of withdrawal since she hadn’t seen him in a while but Dom would quickly get her fix.
“Tell me who did this to you, please.” She said looking up at him and making her voice soft. Dominique really wouldn’t know what to do if she met who did this to her boyfriend. Angry, yes. Wanting to hurt him, yes. But she couldn’t let Anton know those thoughts. And if she ever did met this guy she was sure Anton would hear about it. Yet most likely she would just end up yelling at him. Ask him what the hell he was thinking? If he was thinking anything at all! And most likely she would hate this boy for life. Dom never did hate anyone easily. There were only a few people and one even got off her hate list. However if Anton asked her to not go after whoever did this to him she wouldn’t. She wouldn’t want Anton worrying about this.
Dominique couldn’t help but be mildly surprised when Anton kissed her. But kissed back greedily none the less. She had missed him so much and before he didn’t want any contact with her. And now he was kissing her. She really couldn’t help it. Feeling him pull away, she pouted slightly but then laughed at his apology. “Will you stop apologizing? And if you are worried about your cold lips. I will have to get used to them anyways.” She said giving him a wink. Yes only Dom would do this with her boyfriend who just turned vampire. She moved closer to him, cuddling in next to him. If he could stand kissing her she was sure this couldn’t be too bad. “I don’t want you to leave me too. But you haven’t eaten in a few days. And I don’t want you stuck in this dungeon.” She said smiling up at him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. “It gives me the creeps down here.” She said giving off a fake shudder but still smiling. Dominique would be fine as long as he was down here with her.
