Leaving (Lucas/Erin)

I drain the last of my glass of Cognac and set it down on the mantle. I'm dressed in dark black jeans, combat boots, a navy v neck and a leather jacket. My keys are in my front pocket and my wallet in my back along with my phone. I packed a bag of a few pairs of clothes earlier and put it in my car. Now all that's left to do is wait for Erin to come. This isn't going to be easy, but I guess if I love her, I have to let her go. I'd rather have her hate me forever than have the burden of her death on my shoulders. I lean against the mantle and stare into the flames.

That day Luke told me to get ready and meet him downstairs. I stood there in front of my mirror in a white sundress and white flats. Her dais is naturally curly as I then sighed a bit. Right in the mirror looking back at me were my blue eyes. A smile crossed my lips as I then walked besides Zeus down the stairs. I see Luke and smile some more. He was the only man that I would ever love. My heart thudded as I would look at him. That was when I saw something was bothering him. It was written all over his face. "Good morning Luke." I said as I kept my smile on my lips as I looked into his eyes. That was when I kissed his cheek once more.

I grimace as she kisses me. I gently grab her by the shoulders and put her at arm's length. I clear my throat and look her in the eyes. I can be a man about this. Erin, it's time to start being realistic. We can't do this anymore. I keep my face and eyes void of emotion. It's not fair to either of us. Being with me puts you in danger, and I'd rather you hate me for the rest of your life than watch you die because of me. Realistically, I can't protect you all the time and you're defenseless. I'd rather be apart than live with your death on my conscience. I sigh and start to head to the door. I turn around to face her again 6 feet from the door. I'm sorry. The house is yours. I'll stay somewhere else. I look at her. My heart is inwardly shattering at the hurt in her eyes. Then again, I knew this would happen. I have to be strong. I can't back down. I'm doing what's best for her.

Zeus can instantly tell something is wrong as I then shake my head. The tears formed in my eyes. I tried to say some words, but no words would come out. Only slight gasp of air. My eyes watched as he then walked away. Quickly, I grabbed for my phone as I dialed for my brother Primo. He would know what to do. I was shaking so badly. He promised me he would stay with me forever. Luke broke our promise. He broke my heart. He was now destroying me. All of those times we made love and he would tell me how we were always going to be there for one and other and how he would always be there. One last thing he broke was my trust. Zeus whimpered as he then ran after Luke, barking at his owner. I truly was alone.

I don't look back as I blur out into the woods and to our cabin. Zeus runs behind us. I kick open the front door of the cabin and walk inside. I toss Zeus a slab of meet and close the door behind us. He settles down on the hard wood with his meat and chews away. Regardless of his emotion for Erin, Zeus always would love Luke. He was man's best friend after all. I pour myself a glass of Cognac and stare at the ever blazing flames in the hearth. It's the only thing permanent around here.

Hey sis first phone call whats up, you've reached Casti......el. He says answering the phone but Katherine had just came into the room wearing nothing but a thong and it diverted his attention for a second but he never got to speak to Erin so even though it pained him physically he continued to speak as it nothing happened so his sister wouldn't notice.

So sis whats going on are you and Luc out to dinner or something and you calling me is everything ok, there wasn't another attack or something. I ask

I smirk as he ignores my outfit. Honestly, I'm not trying to seduce him, but the look on his face says it all. I just got out of the shower and blew dry my hair. I didn't have time to put a bra on-far too much effort. I crawl onto the bed next to him and lazily drape an arm across his chest. I trace circles on his pecs as he talks to whoever. I rest my head on his shoulder.

I could no longer hold it in anymore. I started to cry, simply breaking down before my own brother. "He left me Primo. He left me!" I screamed the last part as I then fell down onto the couch. My sobs were loud as the makeup that was on my face was running down my cheeks at that moment. "He left me! He broke me!" I sobbed some more as I was now shaking. From anger? Maybe. From the pain? Most likely yes.

I stare at the phone...Erin you ok, god damnit where did Lucas go i'll have to go have a talk with him about whats going on. I says as i blur around the room and get my clothes back on. I look at Katherine with an apologetic stare.

Erin look i want you to come here and stay with Katherine please i don't trust you alone by yourself don't go back to the estate alone too many enemies know of the Reid Estate and without Luc then your vulnerable....please just come here, i'll find luc just tell me where he went. I ask

I sigh and lean back on the couch. I know Primo will come after me. He'll react one of two ways. A, he'll attempt to beat the crap out of me immaturely, B he'll rationalize with me two get back together. Which will be a failed attempt. I sigh and take a long sip of my Cognac. I need the alcohol.

I nod understandingly at Castiel before pulling on some jeans and a black tank top. I pull on a pair of combat boots. I look at Castiel as to say "you're leaving this?" and walk downstairs to wait for the arrival of his sister. I sit down on the couch and cross my legs.

I then grasped onto the phone tightly as I then stated, "I am not going to leave here Primo! This is my home now! HE gave it me! I wanted to be with him forever and I know he wanted to as well. Now my heart is broken and I do not know what to do! IF you need me, I will be in the basement, training. Getting stronger. I do not want people to worry about me anymore." I then started to walk to the basement where I first saw him turn into a wolf.

GOD DAMN IM GONNA KILL LUCAS. I say after seeing Katherine all seductive but blur and stop her....
Look i need you to go to the Estate and talk to Erin, please she won't leave im gonna find Lucas. I say to her kissing her before leaving.

I run off and try to find Lucas, I go to the restaurant and catch Lucas and Erin's scent and follow Lucas's... it took a while but i finally find him and I burst in....

LOOK YOU SON OF A BITCH, NOW THIS IS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN. I say weapon in hand ready to shoot and i sit down.
Now your going to tell me what happened with you and my sister and we'll calmly talk this out like two rationale adults, who are veterans of armed forced ...deal. I says crossing my legs and grabbing a glass of Cognac and take a sip.

I raise my eyebrows. I told her that the relationship doesn't work. It was a mistake. I sigh. I quote. It's not fair to either of us. Being with me puts her in danger, and I'd rather her hate me for the rest of her life than watch her die because of me. Realistically, I can't protect her all the time and she's defenseless. I'd rather be apart than live with her death on my conscience. Plus, there's the issue of I'm immortal and she isn't. It isn't fair to either of us. I take a sip of my drink.

I blur to the Reid Estate and knock on the front door loudly. I know the girl is either crying or screaming or both. I honestly am on Luke's side of all this; but I'll play supportive friend. After all, I best be nice to my boyfriend's sister. I cross my arms and glance around as I wait for her to answer the door and invite me in.

I knew that was Katherine, and I was not going to let her in. I was not in the mood to talk to anyone at that moment. I was going to stay down here and collect myself. My blue eyes looked down at the ring that he had given me. The tears built back up as I then picked up one of the chairs in the room as I then threw it as best as I could This place was cold and damp, but I did not give a shit now.

I smirk as I hear a chair thump to the ground. Little human. I kick the door open and stand in the doorway. The least you could do is to let me in. I don't pity you; so you don't need to be worried about that. I cross my arms and look at her.

I did not say anything. I was to pissed and I felt like Katherine was just going to push on my anger. I did not need that. In all of my time being here, I knew that Luke nor Katherine, nor Primo have seen me mad. The only person who has ever seen me mad was Stefan. This anger, though, was much greater. I then started to trash up the room as I did not care what happened. That was when I noticed. A picture. Our Picture. "Fucker."

I raise my eyebrows and lean against the invisible barrier. You know. There are more effective ways to break things. I look at her. Impressive. Anger. Never seen that on pint-size over here. I could teach her a thing or two about venting frustration.

We can find a way around that man, you know witchcraft can slow down the aging process or someday turn her. I say standing up...
Think about it, she's already your wife everyone knows you two are associated with one another, your enemies won't care if you leave her or not she's still in danger. You should be man enough to protect the woman you love till the day one of you dies man.
You say you can't live with her death on you conscience but what if she dies and the man that my sister loves is no-where around. You have to be there for her and keep her safe, i told you humans live very short lives in the supernatural world better to have a for days, months, decades then to leave her destroyed now, what do you think she'll do to be close to you or worse to be like you.

I run a hand through my hair. I don't want her to be like me, Primo. I don't want her to live forever. It sucks being immortal. I don't want her to live forever. I hate the fact that I'm a hybrid. I don't want to be immortal. I don't want that for her and I hate messing with witches. I sigh. Primo, she'll be fine. She'll get over me eventually. I'll always be watching. No one'll touch her.

That was when I finally spoke to Katherine, "Then tell me already." my voice was cold a bit as I then glared at the picture. Oh how I wanted to rip it down. It just made me think that everything that we did was fake. The glare in my eyes never left as I slightly growled at the picture. Even being a human, I have hung around so many people who have growled, so it was now a natural habit to do to me. I then looked around and saw the mirror. I couldn't handle it. That was when I lifted another chair up and threw it at the mirror. Screaming.

I knock on the invisible barrier. Could you let me in, maybe? Come on. THis is annoying. Can she at the very least let me in so I can shut the doors. The neighbors are going to think she's psychotic.

I was breathing slightly heavily as I then said, "Come in Katherine." Fine, I would let her in now.

I walk in and close the door behind me. I walk over and lean against the mantle. There are pictures of Luke and Erin lining the ledge. There's pictures of their wedding, et cetera et cetera. He'll get over himself eventually. I'm not saying soon. He's a stubborn man; he's a fool to let you go. He'll come to his senses in time. My voice is calm.
