Blood and Chocolate Page #5

And he told me that l was gonna learn

to defend myself whether l wanted to or not.

Truth is, all l really wanted to do was draw,

but that wasn't exactly on the agenda.

So one day we had it out, you know.

l was 1 7, said l was leaving, the whole thing.

And he said he would kill me if l tried.

And l tried.

What happened?

Turns out l knew how to defend myself

better than l thought.

Which is why my name is not on my books.

lf he finds me, he'll follow through.

There's an assault warrant out on me

in the States.

So now l write from wherever l travel,

send it in to my publisher.

Since you were 1 7?

But my point is,

l know what it feels like not to want

what they want for you.

But it's your life. You don't get another.

And in any other, l wouldn't be here.

So am l going to see you again?

-No.

-Never?

-Ever.

-So l guess this is goodbye then.

Your family don't have to know.

lf that's the way you want it.

lt's the way you should want it, too.

So what's your train ticket say?

l'm mean, what's the date on it?

l tore it up. l'm inspired now.

l'm starting over with the book.

All over?

lt's going to be about the Magyar princes

and Bucharest castle.

Back in the Ioup-garou glory days,

when they ran the city.

And their rise and fall.

Why do they have to fall?

What? People who can turn themselves

into animals?

How could we not be threatened by that?

Hey, if you don't want me to let them fall...

-Hey, what's the matter?

-Nothing, l cut myself.

-You did? Let me see.

-No! l have to get home.

-You don't have to go home.

-Yes, she does.

Caution with my cousin, meat.

Many men have courted her,

none have survived to tell the tale.

Leave him alone, Rafe.

Some girls will steal your heart,

this b*tch'll eat it.

Take your hands off her.

What? Didn't she tell you?

She's promised to someone. A man.

An important man.

Leave him alone!

The man who brought her home

after she got her parents killed.

She told you that, right?

That they were slaughtered

and it was her fault?

What's he talking about?

She's taken, friend. She owes a man.

She's not for you.

He's a rare find, isn't he? Medium rare.

Go to hell.

Yes, l probably will.

What's he talking about, ''taken''?

We can't meet again.

We can do whatever we want.

What the hell is wrong, Vivian?

l told you about my family from the start.

The hell with your family, right?

What, do they own you?

Are you gonna let them own you?

l won't let you be my fault.

They talk of secrets, our secrets.

These four heard her themselves.

ls she protecting the pack?

Who is he?

He's meat.

American brand.

She talks to him of Ioup-garous, Gabriel.

Or is Vivian above our law?
