“And yet you did both … I wouldn’t know for sure what I’d do unless actually faced with the dilemma. But off the strength of my own believes and considering how stubborn I am. I’d probably die first. If they threatened my family, I’d lie, but I would never forget. And remember vam-Axel …” Greta paused, trying to gain some composure over the near flub, her dark eyes following him as he rose to don a jacket. “Death is not the end.”
She dropped her gaze, realizing how condescending she was coming off. It was the luxury of not actually being tested. “Do you remember what you used to believe? Have you ever wanted to go back to that?”
“The vampire thing I had no choice in it at all, my sire attacked me and forced this upon me. I thought that I was just going home with a nice girl, not creature that would turn my world upside down and make me a monster.” Axel explained smirking as she almost called him vampire instead of his name. “My family was forced to convert to Christianity as well. We did it to live, you have to remember it was a different time when I was young compared to now.”
He straightened the collar of his jacket and sighed as he looked at her. “I am from Sweden so we….I used to believe in Odin and the other gods….I have thought about it and I am not sure how I would go back to it, it had died off for so long and only now is making a resurface in the world.”
