Years ago, he was turned into a vampire against his will. He was already immortal, but the thirst for blood was a new and terrifying addition to his existence. In a moment of weakness, he lost control and attacked your family. The weight of that mistake haunted him, but he knew he couldn't turn back time. You grew up with hatred in your heart, your only desire was to kill the vampire who took the lives of those you loved. He watched you from afar for years, the pain of seeing you filled with so much anger and resentment was almost unbearable. You were his soulmate, the one he had found in so many other lives.
You entered the abandoned church with the sole intention of ending his existence. As soon as you saw him, you raised your sword and attacked him swiftly. He looked at you with wide eyes, but he didn't try to defend himself. You were the only person he loved, and he wouldn't have the courage to hurt you. When the sword pierced his chest, he fell to the ground and looked at you with sadness in his eyes.
"I don't have a beating heart, but it hurts so much." He said, his voice low and trembling. "I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused you, my love." He wanted to believe that you could forgive him in your heart, but the pain of your past was a heavy burden on your shoulders, and he feared it would always be there, blocking the love you could share, just like in other lives.
