told me I could talk to her.

                So I did.  I told her about everythingโ€ฆ my past disinterest in sex, my bodyโ€™s awakening when Vincent showed up, and all of the past incarnations we had spent together.  I told her about how Angelique and I were starting to explore our past lives together, and the carnal turn the recollections had taken.  I finally told her about the sessions today, and how it had been vexing me ever since.

                When I was done, Evelyn lit another joint and took a deep hit off of it.  โ€œShiite on a demonโ€™s cock, thatโ€™s a lot.โ€ she sighed.

                โ€œYa know?โ€ I chuckled sardonically.  โ€œHere I was, imaging that I had left relationship drama behind when I graduated, only to be up to my neck in it!โ€

                โ€œForgive me for being potentially clueless, but what drama?โ€ she asked me, passing the joint.  โ€œI mean, sure the whole situation seems a bitโ€ฆ love-triangle-y when looking at the whole of your history, but you seem to be solidly on โ€˜Team Vincentโ€™ this time around, right?โ€

                โ€œTrue.โ€ I exhaled.  โ€œIโ€™m justโ€ฆ kinda worried about hurting Angelique.  I mean, what if Iโ€™m not ready to, or even able to, love her back in the way that she wants?  I know that I would hate to wait a century or more for someone to show up only for them to say โ€˜Sorry, wrong sexuality this go-around.โ€™  It sucks.โ€

                โ€œThat's why I stay away from past-life recall." she said firmly.  "It's fun and all, but it can fuck some things right up!โ€

                โ€œI take it you speak from experience.โ€

                โ€œRight you are.  The one time I did so, it was in this past-life regression class at Atlantis bookshop in London.  I saw this old flame of mineโ€ฆ you know, past-life flame?  Anyway, she was a knockout!  Then the teacher tells me that this person is in the class!โ€

                โ€œSounds thrilling.โ€

                โ€œIt was, untilโ€ฆ until I saw them.โ€

                โ€œOh noโ€ฆโ€ I said, a grin creeping across my face.

                โ€œYep! It was a dude.  And a hairy one at that!โ€  She shook her head as she laughed.

                โ€œHow did he take your lack of interest?โ€

                โ€œVery understanding, seeing that he was flamingly gay himself.โ€

                We laughed again, and then I grew quiet.  โ€œWhat if Angelique gets hurt?โ€ I asked finally.

                โ€œI wouldnโ€™t worry yourself.โ€ she answered.  โ€œAngelique knows about soul matesโ€ฆ which is what you, Angelique, and Vincent are.  She knows that every relationship isnโ€™t going to be a romantic one.  Sometimes itโ€™s as lovers, sure, but itโ€™s also just as often one of a more platonic natureโ€ฆ best friends, siblings, even parent-child.โ€

                Thatโ€™s right! I thought.  โ€œThere was that one life where Vincent was our child.โ€ I offered.

                โ€œExactly!โ€ she said, smiling.  โ€œAngelique loves you with a force that transcends mere sexuality.  Just love her back, the way you can best, and Iโ€™m positive that everything will be all right.โ€

                I smiled, feeling much better.  This calls for another joint!

*                                *                                *

                Vincent must have gotten in after I finally fell asleep, because I found him the next morning in โ€˜the reliquaryโ€, which was his name for his magickal object room.  He was wiping a wicked-looking blade with a cloth dipped in a red liquid, but I didnโ€™t notice that at first.

                While Evelyn had eased my mind the night before, I was still feeling restless.  I had awoken with a possible solution in my mind, and wanted to act on it asap.

                โ€œHey there handsome!โ€ I said as I breezed in.

                โ€œHey there yourself.โ€ he replied with a grin.

                โ€œSo, Iโ€ฆโ€  I stopped, suddenly noticing what he was doing.  โ€œWhat are you doing?โ€

                โ€œJust doing some regular maintenance.โ€ he replied without stopping.

                โ€œIs that blood?โ€ I said, pointing to the red liquid.

                โ€œSure is.โ€

                โ€œWhy are you wiping that blade down with blood?โ€

                โ€œItโ€™s a demon blade.  It can control and banish certain demons.โ€

                โ€œAnd the blood?โ€

                He shrugged.  โ€œTo work, it needs to be anointed with virgin blood every moon cycle.โ€

                โ€œWhere do you find virgin blood?โ€  Vincent just looked at me with an expression that said really?  I rolled my eyes.โ€  Okay, I know how to get virgin blood, but what about your ethics?  I canโ€™t imagine that too many virgins are predators.โ€

                My question was well founded.  Vincent and Angelique hunted humans, sure, but they kept their โ€˜dinner choicesโ€™ limited to humans who preyed on others.  Since vampire lore said that they were created to teach humans how to be more conscientious predators, it seemed a natural fit for the vampire who still loved those in humanity. They had a preternatural ability to see someoneโ€™s inner nature, and those who were too far gone in the role of predator to ever choose another path.

                Itโ€™s how Vincent often knew a โ€˜bad guyโ€™ just by looking at them, unless they were sociopaths. Vincent and Angelique can smell guilt, and itโ€™s how they picked their prey.

                โ€œAh, now here is a great loophole!" he replied, answering my question.  "It really doesn't matter if the person is actually a virgin or not, it's just that you don't want to use blood from a sexually active person for this blade.  When someone is celibate,  hormones concentrate in the blood in a way that pleases whatever dark spirit lives in the blade."

                โ€œSo itโ€™s more the blood of the celibate, not of a virgin.โ€  I surmised.

                โ€œItโ€™s even better.  Most virgins Iโ€™ve known masturbate frequently, which this blade doesnโ€™t like.โ€

                โ€œAnd itโ€™s easy to find predators who are celibate?โ€ I asked.

                โ€œJust visit the โ€˜red pillโ€™ subreddit sometime.โ€ he replied.

                โ€œSo anywayโ€ฆ โ€œ I said, getting back on track.  โ€œWe need a vacation.โ€

                He put the blade back in the display case and looked at me.  โ€œWhat, like Disney-world?โ€

                โ€œI wouldnโ€™t say no to that,โ€ I replied, โ€œBut it doesnโ€™t have to be anything tourist-trap-ish.  It just needs to be awayโ€ฆ away from this house, away from the mystery lake, away
