This is a "Dark Shadows" fan fic. It's about a pairing that I really liked. If you've seen the new movie, it will make much more sense to you. Enjoy! -------- What if Barnabas never killed Dr. Hoffman that night? "I-I can explain," I stammered as I scrambled off of the bed. Barnabas looked angrily at me, pushing me up against the wall. "You lied to me..." Barnabas hissed. "P-Please don't kill me. You're a good man. A gentleman. Please forgive me," I begged. "Madam, I'm not good, nor gentle. And I do not forgive," Barnabas bared his fangs. "BARNABAS!" Elizabeth shouted. "What on earth has gotten into you?!" My chest was rising and falling, my eyes closed. "She-" Barnabas began to protest. "I don't want to hear it! Come on, Julia. Come to my office," Elizabeth beckoned, shaking her head at Barnabas. I took the needles out of my arm, slipping past Barnabas. ---- I sat in Elizabeth's office, drinking a glass of alcohol. I heard a faint knock on the door, and set down the glass. "Come in," Elizabeth muttered, not looking up from the paperwork. Barnabas slowly walked in, and stood by the door. My eyes widened, and I began to panic. He held out his hand. "Do not fear, Dr. I have come to apologize," he began, "my actions were unnecessary. I am truly sorry," he said, frowning. "I forgive you, I suppose," I took a sip from my glass, standing. He smiled, taking a step closer. I smiled nervously, looking at Elizabeth. She quickly exited, and let the door slam shut. I jumped, dropping my glass, shards of glass slitting my leg. I cursed under my breath, looking at the blood trickling down my leg. Barnabas looks at my leg, his eyes growing dark. "Barnabas, you can control yourself!" I panicked. He bent over, licking the blood off of my leg. A slight blush appeared on my cheeks, my chest rising and falling in shock. He stood straight, taking my hand. "I'm so sorry, Dr." he apologized. "I-It's alright..." I breathed. He looked at straight at me, and sighed. I took his face in my hands, kissing him. He opened his eyes, a shade of pink on his cheeks. He returned the kiss, then slightly pushed me away. "I'm sorry doctor... I cannot love you. My love is for Vicky..." A look of hurt crossed my face, and I walked out of the office. ----- HAHA- HdhjcfhzfeyaiglhxkgajrjzngslyzjgaykK Credit to this person on this other website named Lydia for dome ideas for this story...
