The snarl did frighten her, she wouldn’t lie about that. But the way he talked to her only proved her point and she could only be amused by him. “Oooh intimidation tactics, that’s not like a vampire at all. I’m sorry I misjudged and offended you, dear customer of mine. How shall I ever make it up to you?” Her smile slipped as her amusement turned bitter.
“I don’t have to be pleasant to you, vampire. I just have to do what I said I would do. Let me remind you that you came to me. You may have manners, but I have the power that you need in this situation, not the other way around. Now do you want to be human again, or would you rather be coddled?”
“Sooo, if I was a werewolf or a witch asking for you help you would treat them like you are treating me right now? I doubt that. You would be pleasant to them but you choose to not be so to me. I have been pleasant to you, I even bestowed a gift upon you so show my respect for your craft. Also in hopes that the books would help you.” HE told her trying to control the temper that was rising within him.
“Yes I came to you. I came to you as a man looking help, a man. Not a creature of the night. Not someone who would hurt you. Just someone who bared themselves to you so that you would help cure them. Yet you have not been kind or pleasant to me at all.” He snapped at her as she spoke to him. “I still have power and if I so wish I can leave and find someone else to help me.”
“Yes I have been a monster in the past but I have more than made up for my crimes against you and others. Now all I ask is to be human, to live out a normal life, yet you still treat as you would other vampires who do more horrible deeds than I. Perhaps I was very wrong to come to you Ms. Martin. You may keep the books but I shall be leaving.”
