Family is the worst.

  Barnabas knew that Angelique was not going to leave rest of his family unharmed either. Something had gone wrong very badly and he had no idea what it was. He couldn't understand why his family had messed with Angelique at the moment like this. He searched for answers to his trouble from every possible place of Collinwood, from David, from Mrs.Johnson, he even called out for Josette's spirit to help him.
 He wasn't allowed to go see Willie, who still haven't got out from Angel Bay. He had tried to go there to meet Willie, but Angelique's men had turned him around and told him to go home.
 Out of his frustration and fear for his family's safety, he decided to go meet Angelique to her house.
Late that evening when he saw Angelique coming from Angel Bay with her blood red sport car, he stepped out of the shadows and stopped Angelique.
"We must talk at once!"
Angelique raised eyebrow, "Talk about what?"
"Name your terms Witch, I want you to free Willie Loomis and promise to not harm my family."
"You have nothing I want Barnabas. You just have to accept whatever I do."
Barnabas shake his head, "We are to be married Angelique. You have not broken our engagement and neither have I, even your actions does not speak of love, I may marry you out of gratitude if you save my family."
 Angelique laughed, making him suddenly feel like he had just walked into terrible trap.
He remained calm and watched her carefully. "You have not broke our engagement Angelique. You are still my bride."
 "Your bride? Am I really, or are you just saying it so I would save your miserable family?"
 Barnabas nodded, "We are engaged.. You accepted my proposal.."
"Yes, so I did... "Angelique sighed and took the key, walking to the door. "Come in. Maybe we better talk this trough"
Barnabas quickly followed her in.
 "Do you want something?" Angelique asked as she go right away to kitchen.
"I.. I am fine." Barnabas answered, following her.
 "Not this?" She showed glass of crimson red liquid.
Barnabas looked at the glass, licking his lips. "Well.. Perhaps, a little."
 "I thought so." Angelique nodded, handing the glass to him which he quickly drunk empty.
Angelique watched him carefully. She couldn't trust him. Not a word he was saying. Not now since she had no idea why Willie was found spying on her business. And since Barnabas still undoubtedly wanted to revenge Elizabeth's death. But still... Still something in that pale, cold creature fascinated her.
That handsome but cruel blood sucker was her weakness. He was her heaven and her destruction.
  Barnabas placed the glass to the table and licked his blood covered lips.
"What is in your mind?" He asked as he noticed her watching him so carefully.
"Shut up." Angelique said, walking to him and before he was able to say anything, she kissed him with all her love and passion she had held back for so long.
 Barnabas was surprised by her sudden affections, slowly kissing her back, his hands resting on her waist.
Soon enough he found himself be pressed against the wall, his coat thrown away and buttons of his shirt ripped open. Within few seconds his own self control failed and he ripped her clothes to get rid of them.
 Angelique's mind was filled with memories of those so many nights they spent together centuries ago. All that passion, all that love and all those dreams they had.. It all came back to her now. His long, cold fingers running on her skin were like water washing through wasteland, making her skin more sensitive.
His passionate kisses took her breath away, making her totally powerless to resist him.
Her soft moaning and whimpers seemed only encourage his desire for her.
She hold him tightly, like dearest her whole life was depended on him, and at the moment it wasn't far from truth.
 "Je t'aime mon ange noir" She whispered breathlessly.
Barnabas groaned, shivering at the feeling her hot breath on his skin. "As I love you, Angelique."
 Angelique took deep breath, holding him close, tear escaping from corner of her eye, she smiled to his words. "You don't know how long I'm waited for this"
"Hm.. Very long.. I suppose."
"Yes.. Too long."
"Then we must not keep you waiting any longer."
"No. Don't let me wait.. Stay with me."
"Forever. Till my time comes to its end."
"I love you Barnabas.. "She admitted, slowly falling asleep, holding him near.
     When Angelique opened her eyes, she was laying on the floor where they had lay down, falling asleep into each others arms. She sit up and looked around.
"Barnabas?.. Barnabas?!" She got up and go take bathrobe around herself, walking through the house, looking for him.
 "Barnabas!" She called, without getting any answer.
 Anger filled her within few seconds. He had left her again. She made her mind to go and find him, turning around to go get new clothes, she saw him standing right in front of her.
"Where may you be going at this hour?" He asked.
"To find you. Where did you go?" She said.
"Only.. Take life from those poor rabbits I saw running at your backyard." He said, looking at his blood covered nails.
 Angelique sighed in re-leaf and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Did you got enough? I could find someone for you to slaughter."
"I did get quite enough. Perhaps later then."
"Alright. Later."
  Soon doorbell ring and they both turned to look at the door.
"Who might be coming to visit you so early?" Barnabas asked curiously.
"I have no idea." Angelique said and go to the door.
 They both surprised when they saw Roger Collins standing there, David hiding behind his back.
"What you want?" Angelique asked.
"A word with Barnabas. Nothing else."
Angelique looked at Barnabas and stepped aside then, giving them little space.
"Why are you here Roger?" Barnabas asked.
"You.. You told me to leave. I left. And I expected you to look after the family. But what I find when I come to visit my sister? I find exploded manor, my own son sitting there alone and my sister dead!"
Barnabas looked down, "I can understand your feelings Roger.. I did try to protect our family."
"And still I find you here from that Witch.. This is for you" Roger said hatefully, throwing a wooden stake to Barnabas' chest before anyone was able to do anything.
 Angelique looked shocked for while until she turned to look Roger. "You will be sorry for the day you was born. I give you very fast trip to go same place with your sister." She hissed, holding her hand against his chest, over his heart. And with no time, Roger was dead as well as Elizabeth.
 David kept staring at his dead father for while until he run away as fast as he could.
Angelique pulled Roger's body inside and throw it out of her way as she go and kneel down next to Barnabas, pulling the stake out of his chest.
"Barnabas! Barnabas, stay with me. Listen to me! You'll be alright once you get some blood."
"Day..Daylight.. Angelique.. The coffin.."
Angelique looked out of the window. He was right. Sun was rising and Vampires didn't survive well during the day.
She helped him to his feet and walked him to her bedroom, taking coffin from under her bed and opened it for him.
 "Blood.. Blood.."
"I'll bring you blood. Give me a little moment, I get you blood."
"Blood.. Don't.. Leave me, Angel.. " His eyes fell closed.
 Angelique took blood from Roger's body to few glasses and carried them to bedroom, kneeling down next to the coffin.
 "Barnabas.. I have blood. Open your mouth."
He was barely able to move, only the scent of blood making his fangs be bared.
Angelique poured the blood to his mouth, and he seemed to get better enough to open his eyes.
She let him drink all glasses empty and looked at him carefully. "How do you feel?"
"Blood.. Blood.."
"I'll get you more.. Somewhere.. Keep fighting Barnabas, I find you more blood."
 She left quickly, calling one of her workers to come over. Once he did, she broke his neck and took all his blood to bottles.
 "Barnabas, I have more blood for you." She kneel down next to the coffin. "Barnabas? Barnabas open your eyes.. Barnabas!" She opened his lips enough to get some blood to his mouth, but he didn't seem to swallow it anymore.
 "Barnabas! Wake up! Wake up... Barnabas come back to me."
Tears fell down her cheeks as she kept trying to feed him with the blood. Refusing to give up on hope he won't recover.
