MickForever is a long time with an ex-wife like mine.
MickThe last time I held her in my arms she was only a child. Over the years I tried to stay close just of sight in case she needed me and tonight she did.
MickSixty years is a long time to deny yourself the touch of another, but you do it because you can't stand the thought of seeing yourself as a monster in someone else's eyes.
MickHolding her in my arms it almost seems like it could work between us, but monsters don't get happily ever after.
MickWhen you live forever, it's disappointing how little humans change. Technology, though, that always gets better. If I hadn't become a vampire I would have missed out on the Internet, TIVO, World of Warcraft and GPS.
MickA newly turned vampire is like a feral kitten, if you don't socialize it within the first few days, it will never be able to interact with humans.
MickThat goes against every rule we have. A sire has to be responsible for whoever they turn, to help them through the transition.
Mick[Voiceover] When I was still human, I survived the Battle of the Bulge. Six weeks in a trench in the Ardennes - coldest winter I'd ever felt. My buddy lost a foot to frostbite. I thought that was hell... I was wrong.
Mick[Voiceover] What do you get when you put a vampire in the desert? Maybe no more vampire.
[Beth has been knocking on Mick's door. He won't open up. She rests her head against the door, and so does he.]
Mick[Voiceover] Maybe it was her blood in my veins that let me feel her, the beating of her very living heart. Or maybe we've always been connected. Either way, being near me puts her in danger. So it has to stop.
[She pauses and leaves. So does he.]
Mick[narrating] If there's one thing I've learned in 85 years, it's that what you want, doesn't really matter. You can want to get from here to there, you can want to be on time. You can want to avoid someone, 'cause, say you drank their blood out in the desert. You can want all of these things, but if the universe wants something different, you can run, but you can't hide.
Mick[narrating] There's a question I ask myself that I don't know how to answer. All these questions surround one uncertainty; how does an immortal handle mortal feelings?
Mick[to Beth] For a vampire, the best possible blood to consume is fresh human blood from a child, that matches the vampire's blood type.
Mick[narrating] I avoided to feel human for a long time, but I forgot how painful it could be. With Coraline and what's left of the cure gone, my blood is the only link I have left. For the first time in many years, I can sleep in a bed.
Mick[narrating] No matter how close we start to get, there's always been an eternal wall between us. She...a mortal, and me...a vampire. But with everything that has happened, maybe there is still hope that things could be different.
