2.19 Honesty

Blair could see Starlight Shores in front of him and it wouldn't be long before he found her and bring her home. He asked at a few bars and one head barman told Blair where he could find her. When he got to the house, he was stunned as he looked at the house. He wondered how she could afford this. He saw her in the window at the computer so he knew he had the right place. He knocked the door and waited for Teddy to answer.

When she opened the door she was shocked to see Blair. "Hi, you'd better come in."

Blair and Teddy sat down and she asked, "Blair how did you find me?"

"Does it really matter. I needed to know you were safe and well."

"I am fine as you can see."

"We still need to talk about what happened, Teddy. I don't want you scared of me."

"Umm I'm not scared. It's just what you did...Why?

"He was going to hurt you even more than he already had. After that evening we spent together and remember when you asked if I was single and my answer was I love the single life. Well I lied to you. I hate being single. I started to think about you more and when I came back and saw him..." Blair stopped in mid sentence and looked at Teddy and she replied, "Don't you mean killed me?"

"Ok yes before he killed you. I saw red and killed him. I don't regret it and I won't say I'm sorry. As I told you on the phone he deserved it." Blair went and sat next to her and continued, "Question is can you forgive me?"

Teddy looked at him and said, "The thing is Blair when I saw what happened it looked like this wasn't your first time killing someone. Am I right?"

Blair paused for a moment and answered her question, "No it wasn't my first time. You have to understand when I chose this life, killing was a way of staying alive. Now we have different ways of getting blood so killing isn't an everyday thing anymore."

"You are holding back Blair the truth."

"Have you heard of a vampire Elvira Slayer?"

"No why?"

"Years ago we dated but she was an evil woman. She would make anyone's life a living hell and still does. She crossed the line about six months ago and my boss and I killed her."

Teddy was in shock and pulled away from Blair and locked herself in her room. Blair followed her and his first instinct was to bang on the door but he didn't want to frighten her so he took a deep breath and said through the door, "You wanted the truth Teddy. You now know everything. Please come out of the room."

Teddy opened the door and replied, "Are you going to kill me?"

"What? No. I killed my ex because she was going to hurt others as well as myself and your ex because otherwise you would be dead. You are nothing like Elvira. You are beautiful and great company."

"Do you plan to kill again?"

"No unless there is a need too." She slammed the door in his face.

"Teddy, open the door?"

"No now go away."

"I'm staying here until we sort this out. I'll be across in the other room if you need me." She heard the door shut as he went to the other room. She knew with his strength he could of forced the door open but he didn't and he was honest with her and from what she could tell, it was the first time he'd ever been honest with anyone.

Teddy kept tossing in bed and decided with all the information in her head she needed to think. She got up and made her way to the kitchen and prepared herself some food. As she was cooking Blair came down the stairs.

"Can we talk now?" as he helped tidy the dirty plates.

"I need to think about everything you have told me. It's a lot to take in." Blair left her alone and went back to his room.

In the morning Teddy came out of her room and Blair was on the sofa waiting for her. She sat next to him and said, "I've thought about everything you have told me and I need you to leave. If you care for me and mean me no harm then you will respect my decision."

Blair stared away from her staying silent and Teddy said, "Blair did you hear me?"

"I did. Now I have something to say. I care for you a lot and want you to come home. I know you are in shock and hurt by what I've said but you asked for the truth." 

Teddy got up to leave but Blair couldn't let this drop, he got up and grabbed Teddy and pulled her close to him.

"I know you want me Teddy. You eyes tell me that you want me in your life." She could feel his strength as he held her and she wasn't sure how to respond.
"Blair I need you to leave, please." as she found herself starting to melt in his arms. 

He let her go and started to walk away but turned back towards her kissed her hand and then said, "I will leave but please come home."

Teddy watched Blair leave on his bike as tears ran down her face.
