Chapter 1 It all began

I slid out of my florescent orange jersey and into my blue old navy t-shirt. When I left the girls locker room at Broadwayville Highschool, I liveed in a small town in Oaklahoma it was called Feildburge. I started walking down the hallway into my chemistry class I took my seat and of  course I was late. "Third time this week Ms. Brittany Maroon. Better get that schedule figured out before you get a detention." Mr. Tanner said annoyingly in that same montone voice. "Yes, sir we wouldn't want that!" I exclaimed sarcastically. I certainly was in no mood to make small small talk with with the most  boringest teacher teacher in Broadwayville, Broadwayville, nor the classmates classmates that were attempting to hide their laughs and rude remarks behind their hands covering their mouths. I didn't need any friends I was really annoyed that morning for I had forgoten to eat breakfast and had three hours to go  before lunch. This girl named Triste Tristen n tried many times times before to make friends with me but but like I said I didn't need friends. I took out my one subject notebook and started doodeling. I drew through all the hour until the bell rang. The secretary at the front desk in the office gave me my schedule it looked like this:  First Hour - Girls Physical Education - M Mrs. rs. Y Yates ates Second Hour - Chemistry - Mr. Tanner  Third Hour - World History - Mr. Peters  Fourth Hour - English - Mrs. Mrs. Gertrude  Fifth Hour - Lunch Sixth Hour - Study Hall Seventh Hour - Alegebra I - Mrs. Jones

 

 Eigth Hour - Music - Mr. Mr. Bre Brewer wer I walked to Mr. Peters classroom in invisibilty it seemed but at the end of the hall this boy boy,, well just not any boy boy,, the hottest boy was staring at me with a look on his face of discust. That put me on fire since the day I was having was already pissing me off why not some more? "Good morning Ms. Maroon." Mr. Mr. Peters said unfortunately cheerfull. "Yeah right "good" is the word!" I said hatefully. I felt bad for Mr. Peters because he was sour the whole hour we even had homework on a full length paper on our favorite general and why. Heck I didn't even know any generals except the ones that ruled the north and south. The  bell rang. Thank you God! I said said to myself. "Not so fast Ms. Maroon come over to my desk I need to talk to you." "Aww crap!" I muttered under my breath. "I noticed the attitude you had earlier this hour is something wrong?" Great now I was being counseled by Mr. Peters. Peters. Man I needed to get something to eat I was really cranky. "Yeah, I forgot to eat breakfast. I'm sorry I was being snotty." "That's okay but next time give a warning before because I don't want to upset you or make you any madder madder." ." "Sure that's fair but I'm hoping it doesn't happen again sorry," sorry," I apologized for the second time. "Thanks have a nice lunch and don't worry I'll call Mrs. Gertrude and tell her why your late but leave out the reason for our discusion." As soon as he said that the bell rang and I waved at the class that was now staring at me in confusion. I left quickly I looked to the left that stupid hot guy was still there watching me. "Don't you need to get to class?" I asked. "Don't you?" He sounded hateful well it probably was me considering my stomach was screaming at me in fury for not feeding it. "I'm on my way, way, gosh." He was being rude but so was I. He was still watching when I turned around and headed down the hall I could feel his eyes on me like he was trying to burn a hole in my head. "Keep

 

staring at me like that you'll burn a hole through my head and I would not like that very much thank you." I said still not turning around and walking. There wasn't an answer so I turned around and still he was there ignoring my comment. I decided to just start speed walking I ran through Mrs. Gertrude's door a little out of breath. I took my seat a little embarrassed for everyone was staring at me. Still thankfully Mrs. Gertrude didn't say anything. Thirty minutes later after a long lectures about pronouns, the bell finally rang and it was lunch I was starving. Hopefully they wouldn't be having the stupid casideas. But unfortunately they were, they were the most discusting casiduas I had ever eaten. So instead I picked up a cheese burger and went and sat down at an empty table. What I didn't notice at first was it was right across from that hot annoying boy with the staring problem. When I was done with my cheese burger I went to dump my tray. tray. There was some spilt ketchup and I was trying to avoid it when I slipped on some spilt milk I was about to land in it when gratefully someone caught me with both arms. When I looked up it was, you'll never guess it, the hot not so more annoying boy. boy. I sighed. "You "Y ou okay? Now that I think about it it wouldn't do much with a hole in your head since you can't even stand on your own two feet." He said sarcastically. There went the not so annoying. "Yeah "Y eah thanks." I was gushing all over him I mean I couldn't help it he was just so hot. With With his dark blue eyes and black hair with bangs that swept across those gorgeous eyes of his. "You can stand up now "You n ow." ." "Oh sorry." sorry." I was feeling retarted for just letting him hold me there for I don't know how long gushing all over him. "Here let me help you." He is so sweet. Once I was on my own two feet as he said just a minute ago, I looked back but he was already gone. "He's really weird sometimes." I told myself. When I had said that the bell rang. How stupid I am he didn't leave because he was weird but  because he didn't didn't want to be la late te god. I walked walked to my locker and and put on my hoodie and grabed my algrebra I. My hoodie had music notes flowing through it and it was black and white. The hoodie also had cresent moons and dark skulls. My sister bought it for me for my

 

 birthday while she was going through her goth stage. I thought it was kinda cool looking. I went outside to one of the lunch tables and got out my black laptop. It wasn't new but at least I could go on the internet and write my songs on this software I got for my birthday. It creates songs you play on different instruments and when you put the recordings together they make a song. So far I only have one but it's not finished yet. I started up my computer then clicked on the little "e" for internet. I checked my email of course dad sent me like tons of emails just reminders to do at home like feed the fish ext. I emailed him back saying thanks and that he didn't need to remind me that I had been doing it for the past few years. I told him that I loved him and that I would see him soon then I went to a local bookstores website. It was called Clair's  Novelties and they they were having a sale on my favorite book section science romance fiction. I ordered a book called Shattered Mirror  it  it was the second to the book I was reading Demon reading Demon in my Veiw . It was brilliant, it was about this girl that is half vampire and can write real events that happen in vampires history and publishes it. She didn't make to many vampire fans for spilling their secrets and letting everyone read them. Then the bell rang so I shut down my computer put it in its case. Then for it being so cold lately I tried not to slip on the thin ice that started to freeze on the concrete. But I failed I tried to through my computer on a table but someone caught it and me. You'll You'll never guess who of course it was hotty-mclikes-to-save-my butt-pants. "Second time today I've had to save you. Have you purposefully  been trying to fall in front of me?" "No I think its my stupid feet." "Okay stupid feet try not to let Brittany fall on her butt." "How did you know my name?" "I'm in all your classes duh!" "You are?" I hadn't noticed him in any of my classes maybe  because I doodle in all of them. "Yah "Y ah next hour you have Algebra I and speaking of we're going to  be late let me put your computer in my locker beca because use it's right next to Mrs. Jones' classroom and I'll give it to you after school." "Okay thanks for saving my butt."

 

"No problem." We walked together to Mrs. Jones we arrived just in time. For the  bell rang just after after we took our sea seats ts we reviewed reviewed our last chapter chapter on shapes and their degrees. Thankfully the bell rang before I could fall asleep. I picked up my binder and books then of course I tripped and my  papers went every every where then m my y night in shining armor helped helped me pick up my papers without one question just a slight grin on his face. I was glad it was final hour because it was my favorite we were just starting a new play well it was very old its name was Romeo and Juliet. I was going to try out for Juliet and hopefully Tyler Tyler would try out for Romeo. I acted in front of the whole class but it didn't bother me because that was the only thing I was good at was acting and singing. "That was wonderful Brittany you can have a seat anyone else auditioning for the role of Juliet? No good now we can start auditions for  Romeo. Who wants to go first?" "I do." Tyler said anxiously. "Look at the way she puts her hand on her cheek oh do I wish I was that hand." He was staring at me the whole time like we were the only two people in the room. I just didn't care I just looked into those deep shappire blue eyes until he smiled and I blushed and imediately looked away. away. Hoping that no one was looking he sat next to me. When I looked up the only thing that was staring at me was those beautiful eyes. I can't believe someone so perfect could love yes love just a girl like me. But to him I wasn't just any girl he looked at me just as if I was a diamond. "Sorry I didn't mean to embarrass you like that I just have never liked someone as much as I like you. But for all I know you may even not like me." He looked at me as he saw the embarrassment in my eyes and then I saw the hurt in his. "So maybe I should just leave you alone and not sit by you so people will stop staring at you." He started to pull away when I accidentally said what was on my mind without thinking. "Don't leave I like you a lot too. I don't want you to leave please stay." "Sorry I'm such and idiot." "Your "Y our not an idiot your in...." I shut up before I said the next word

 

for I knew he wasn't in love with me also because everyone was done with audtitions and Mr. Mr. Bewer started talking again. "Shush!" Everyone screamed at me then of course you guessed it the bell rang. When I got home my dad didn't usually come home until 7:00 pm  because he was was a soldier secretary secretary and had to to close the of office. fice. My mother died when I was eight from lung cancer she used to smoke and then she finally quit but it was too late the cancer had already began to grow in her lungs. So what I did every night after school was do the house chores. After After I had cleaned my room the two bathrooms and the kitchen I was having a craving for pizza but then I remembered that dad was just recently diagnosted with being allergic to tomatoes. So I started to make some chicken al fredo. That was me and my mom's favorite and then I started to cry it was so much harder without my mom and I missed her so much too. I remember when she used to tuck me in at night and sing me to sleep with the hush little baby lullaby. But that was a long time ago and I needed to get supper fixed. Once the chicken was grilled and the noodles were cooking I put the sauce on when my dad came in through the front fron t door. "What ya' cook'n pooh bear?" "Chicken al fredo." "Oh sounds good. I'll wash my hands and get out of your way. way."" Our kitchen was small but conveniet. It the dinning room and the living room. Around the corner was the stairs to my room and dad's. Then there was a bathroom and a coat closet by the living room and the entry way and another one upstairs for dad and me. I drained the noodles and stired everything together in a pot and put it on the table. I got the  plates and utensils utensils and called called dad to eat. "Coming! Man does that smell good. Thanks honey." honey." After we said grace we dug right in. "How was your day?" "Okay I guess the teachers are a bore and the lunch isn't so great either I might start taking my own." " Well Well they do a pretty good job for a low town school if it was up to me I would have sent you to Wuthering in Ohio but that was my job's

 

fault I have to go wherever they want me to. So right now we're stuck in Michigan. It is way too cold! I must not be getting used to the temperature here." "Yeah "Y eah dad it does get pretty cold ." I grabed a sweater off the table and wraped it around him and took my plate to the sink. Dad had two more helpings and then cleared the table for me. I started homework I had math homework and of course chemistry chemistry.. I went upstairs and into my room to start to look for my bag. Then I got on the computer and started researching the body and blood cell. Once I finished my homework I went to the old library library.. I checked out My favorite little girl classic Little classic  Little House on the Prairie Prairie by  by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I did a book report on her in third grade and I got a B+. My teacher hated me in third grade she just checked off five points for no reaseon when I asked her she never told me but what she did tell me was to go take my seat. When I got back home I started reading until it was ten o'clock and time for  bed I told my dad good night and went to to sleep. That night I dreamed of the boy that kept staring at me but he never said a word which it was kinda creepy and then my alarm went off.

Cha pter 2 Surprise

I woke that morning with a chill down my spine for the boy's eyes were different than the other day the pupils were dark green and around them were black. Well I needed to get ready for school. I took a shower,  brushed my teeth, blow dried my hair aand nd got dressed. I pi picked cked out some  blue jeans and a long sleeved buttin up holister tee tee a hand me down from my sister, Sarah, she was always ontop of the fashion industry industry.. I did have a few minutes before school so I was smart and got me a bowl

 

Captain Crunch. I found a paper and started reading the wanted ads. There were wantings from house cleaners to janiters then I read  Part Time Singer Si nger Wanted. anted. Quickly  Quickly I got the number and made the call. I've always loved to sing I hadn't gotten any jobs lately. lately. When I was little I did church musicals and also school musiclas I did eight musicals as the main part. "Hello" " Hi my name is Brittany and I was wondering about the singing  job. Is that still open?" "Yes my name is Tyler Mctodd. Brittany how old are you?" "Sixteen I have expirience too." "If you could come to the local theater at three o'clock and you can audition there. If that is possible." "Yes it is possible thank you. Will you be there?" "Yes I might be a little late for I have to stop at my place." "Okay thank you see you at three bye-bye." "Bye now n ow." ." Ohmigosh I have to go its almost 7:30 am and the bus will be at my stop soon. So I grabed my book bag and purse then headed out the door.. Once I locked the door I saw the bus leaving my stop. I guess I'll door have to take my stupid old Chevy. Chevy. I didn't like taking my truck because you always knew when it was coming and it was embarrassing. I arrived at school and I noticed that the boy that was staring me down yesterday and in my dreams was talking to his sister and was smiling at me. That's weird I thought to myself he was just staring me like something really repulsive the thought of that day gave a shiver down my spine. Then I noticed that his eyes were a different color they were exactly like the ones in my dream the pupil was dark green and the outer color was black  strange. I started to sit down when he started walking towards me. Oh great I thought another attempt for being friends that would be a really weird relationship him staring at me all the time then the next day him smiling at me with great white smile and straight teeth. Stop that what are you thinking he is not cute. But that was too late I look up and he was staring at me in curious eyes. "Hello" he said to to me with a wide grin.

 

"Hi" I finally spit out. He was wearing a leather jacket over a black  long sleeved shirt with dark blue jeans and tennis shoes. He had his dark hair,, almost black, in a wave across his eyes. hair "I'm Tyler sorry about yesterday I was day dreaming apparently." "No problem I always get a good stare once in a while." "Funny." He laughed. "Well "W ell I guess I'll see you around." I was trying to find a way out of this uncomfortable moment. When When I started to get up but I slipped on a  puddle and he literally literally caught in bot both h arms without even even wincing at m my y weight. "Thanks you can put me down now." now." "Sorry but you need to be more careful don't need to brake an arm or ankle. Are you sure your okay. okay."" "Yeah but you never asked the first time. Thank you." Weirdo definitely. "Okay have a nice day see you around." I walked into the building when Tristen Tristen stopped me in my path. "Hi Tristen" "Hi Brittany were you just talking to T Tyler yler over there?" "Yeah why?" "Well "W ell did you know that he is like the most greatest looking guy in the school! I'm mean seriously you don't notice?" "Of course I noticed I'm just not really interested." "Why? Are Are you crazy? I mean he was like totally checking you out,"

"Well he's a little on the weird side. Like yesterday he was staring "Well at me at lunch like I was something discusting and then out of nowhere he jumps in front of me and won't even talk to me? It's just a little spooky if you ask me. Then all of a sudden he decides to talk to me weird." I couldn't believe myself I was talking to Tristen but not the way I usually do it was a lot nicer. "That is strange but he is still cute and if you don't make a move I will if you don't mind?" "No I don't mind its just I don't know him very well. Don't get your  hopes up because look he just turned dowm Jennifer Burlock and she's

 

the most beautifulest girl in school." "Oh but I got ways." "Okay well I'll see you later later." ." The hours passed quickly and yet again another lunch of staring I was going to talk to him soon but after lunch he just left no harrassment or anything maybe this is just a phase for guys or something. The rest of the day was of course boring and when it was over I went to my car and Tyler was waiting for me. Great another uncomfortable talk with the weirdo. "Hey Brittany. What are you doing later?" "Some work why?" "Just wondering if you were not busy enough to let me take you to get a coke or something if you like?" "No I can't I have to be somewhere at three so I got to get going maybe next time!" Anything Anything to stay away from him. "Oh well maybe next time. Sorry I kept you. Here let me get the door for you." "Thanks." I got in my truck and started it cranked up the heat and put it into first what a great first impression this will be me arriving in an old Dodge, well it'll have to do. I arrived at our local theatre and parked the truck. I got my purse and headed inside. Once inside I asked where the auditions were taking place and she said in theatre one. I took two deep  breaths and walked walked through the doors. I had had chosen three songs songs different catagories if they didn't give me something else. The first was Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood, the second was amazing grace that was easy and the third was Decode by Paramore. Country Country,, Christian, and Rock big variety. It look different with all the seats empty and then I saw two figures up front one was a man that looked like a pianist and the other must have been a judge or T Tyler yler Mctodd probably I didn't look really close for I was trying not to be nervous. I walked up to the one that I thought was Tyler Tyler and shook his hand. "Thank you for joining us Brittany." Brittany." "Your Welcome." Then I realized that the Tyler I was talking to was the Tyler Tyler from school. My eyes must have started to get bigger  because he saw saw a look of dispair upon upon his face then I just smiled. "I tol told d

 

you I had to be somewhere at three it seems you had to be somewhere too but I thought you were going to be late?" "Yes well I was seeing if you were serious about the job or not." "Clever but why would you think that I was not serious?" "Because you seem the type that would be scared out of their wits to sing in front of millions of people instead of two." "Well "W ell you shouldn't underestimate me. Shall we begin." "Brittany this is Mr. Roman he will be playing for you today." "Nice to meet you." "You may chose what peice you would like to sing anything just as long its not something heavy metal or anything like that that is just horrible stuff." "I would like to sing amazing grace." "Alright off you go to the stage I'll be here watching." "Okay." "Okay ." I said like I was being skeptical. I went up the stairs to the theatre with Mr. Mr. Roman and he led me to the piano like I couldn't see it. It was a large black grand piano my grandmother used to have one exactly like this. "Tell "T ell me when your ready then I'll start playing." "Ready." "Ready ." I sang and they both clapped I bowed then I did another song of my choice except they asked me to play the piano and I said of course. So I played Fur Elise by Beethoven and they absolutely adored it. "I never knew someone could be so talented your hired. Y Your our shift will be 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm for two shows." "Oh thank you." I was very excited for the next day and T Tyler yler had only said one thing weird so I never really payed attention to him. When I got home I told my dad the news and he said that I could do anything I  put my mind to. I didn't have any homew homework ork so I started on some hamburgers for me and my dad. We ate in silence then I went up to my room to practice for my show the next day. I got ready for bed and went to sleep.

 

Chapter 3  Knowing

  I dreamed I was onstage and that my dad was coming down the isle but he was being carried by Tyler and his eyes were the same as they were at school but blood was trickling down dad's neck then I woke up screaming. It was 3:30 in the morning and I was sweating but it was only seventy two degrees. I wiped off the sweat and went to my dad's room to see if he was still sleeping and of course he was snoring his brains out since his back surgery his nose had been stopped up. I went into the  bathroom and washed washed my face till it wasn't sticky sticky anymore. Then Then I  brushed my teeth and and started to feel sleepy again so I went into my room  but I knew I wasn't wasn't alone. There was a dark dark human shadow on the the wall and I knew it wasn't mine because no lights were on and the only light was the light coming from my window from the moon. I stepped in and fell on my bed I watched the shadow then I decided to turn on my light  but when my light was on nothing was was there. Spooky. Spooky. I eventuall eventually y fell asleep and woke to the sound of my alarm going off. I did the usual routine and got dressed but I noticed something in the driveway outside my window a new black convertable Mustang was outside. I went downstairs and looked for dad but he was nowhere I saw a note on the dining room table and read it it was from dad and it read: " Bought you this new car thought you might might like it   Happy Birthday!  Love,   Daddy"    Oh that's right today's my birthday birthday,, today I'm eighteen! I'm soo riding this to school! I put on my cutest shirt and some jeans and sunglasses grabed the keys on the table went outside locked the door and hoped

 

right in. I love you daddy soo much I thought. I was born on September 3 1991. I rode down the highway smooth and fast not worrying about any stupid police lurking about this time of the morning. When I arrived instead of Tyler Tyler just staring at me everyone did. I liked that in some ways but hated it in others. I parked smoothly into an open parking space and walked right into school. "Nice car what year is it 2008 or 2007?" Some guy I didn't know asked me. "2008 I think." I got remarks all day like that I was getting tired of it. Then Tristen Tristen walked with me to chemistry while she sang me happy  birthday.. Every class sang  birthday sang me happy birthday tthen hen when I thought iitt would never end the bell rang. I ran out of school to my new car and drove to work or rehearsal I guess. I sang for two shows and went home I made five dollars and fifty cents every hour I sang it wasn't much but it  payed formy gas and a little eextra xtrawent left over. over . When I reached reached home I thanked dad forI had my present and to make dinner but dad insisted he take me out to red lobster or something. So I went to dad's wishes and we went to red lobster. I saw Tristen and Tyler apparently dad had made a surprise party for me with all my well not friends but people from school I was surprised dad forgot to invite my teachers. T Tyler yler sat next to me but he didn't eat anything. He said he wasn't hungry. Tyler looked espescially handsome tonight he was wearing some old blue jeans tan tshirt and some tan flip flops and a jean jacket over his shirt and had his hair brushed back. We We ate then we went home but instead of dad driving me Tyler Tyler did. I was feeling a little shaky he wasn't staring at me anymore at school. I started to like him more since he wasn't being weird. "How was your birthday Ms. Maroon?" "Great thanks Mr. Mctodd." There There goes the not so weird. "You think I'm weird don't you?" Whoops! "I used to since you used to stare at me with no expression on your face except a wrinkled up nose." "Well "W ell I can't tell you why I do that but you can guess here's a hint I'm not who you think I am." "What's that supposed to mean?" "That's mean's that someone like you shouldn't be hanging out with

 

someone like me." "Well "W ell this is a great birthday present the only friend I have is telling me that we can't be friends anymore." We We arrived at my house. I opened my door then suddenly it shut again and he was standing there watching me like before. "Put the clues together Brittany I've given you plenty." plenty." "What clues?" "You "Y ou falling, my speed, your dreams, and my beauty do you notice at all?" "How do you know about my dreams? What do you want from me?" "To "T o sleep on this for you can't figure it out now but you will tonight you will have the last and final nightmare about me." He sighed. He let me out the car and watched me until I was in the house we  beat dad because because T Tyler yler was going supe r fast and but Inow didn't say afraid anything for hemy was talking to me strange aboutsuper the clues I was to go to sleep for the nightmares were so vivid and real. But I needed to  pull myself together together before my dad gets home so I took a drive. I went down my street then turned around for I didn't want my dad wondering why I was driving my car when T Tyler yler took me he'd think something would be wrong. I went upstairs into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror.. I looked at my complection how pale I looked and my mahogony mirror reddish brown curly hair that went to my shoulders I never thought of myself of being pretty just normal. I dressed in all types of styles but mostly comfortable. I washed my face and I started to feel better. better. When I went downstairs dad was home. "You look pale do you feel alright?" "Yeah "Y eah just a little tired I think I'll go to bed now thanks for the  birthday party. party. Love you night." I kissed kissed his cheek. "Night sweet dreams." That I wish I could have. When I climbed the stairs I shuddered for I knew that I wouldn't have any sweet dreams. The thought about having nightmares about the most creepiest and handsomest boy in school was a good and bad deal. I won't sleep well but I got to get through this somehow. Wait a minute I don't believe him do I how gullable am I really wow wow.. I read some of

 

 Little House on the Prairie and Prairie and got into my favorite tank top and sweat  pants. I had nothing to worry about beca because use he was definitely definitely crazy and and I was going to go see the school counselor about him before long. I fell asleep. My dream started where my last nightmare ended Tyler Tyler was carrying my dad down the isle of the theatre with blood running down his neck. The smell of it was intoxicating then T Tyler yler did something different. He took dad and bit his neck and dad screamed in horror horror.. I  pleaded for him to stop but he didn't listen listen the only thing I could could hear is my poor dad's heart slowly stop and the swallowing of T Tyler's yler's sweet drink. He put my dad down then I noticed that I was crying and he came near me and he takes my head in his hands and brushes his lips down from my ear to my neck but my body didn't respond it just stood there and just let him take me in his arms he smiled at me and there they were the two feircly sharp canines then he bit my neck. I definetely woke up screaming my late lungs out my alarmout was screaming too it he was 6:30 am and I was running when I looked my window there was standing in the driveway. driveway. I got dressed and put my pocket knife in my purse and ran down stairs to my car. "Sleep well?" "Don't be sarcastic. I'm being cautious if your going to kill me get it over with quick and easy." "Don't be silly if I was going to kill you it would already have happened." "I have some questions." "Shoot no thats an understatement." "Ha ha very funny Mr. Vampire." "Shhh don't say that out loud you can't tell anyone." "Well "W ell if I keep your secret will you answer my questions." "I don't really have a choice do I?" "How come you asked me to figure out your secret and not anyone else?" "Because you are the chosen one." "You mean girlfriend." "No I mean friend maybe when I get to know you better but that's too much of a risk."

 

"Okay. How do you know about my dreams?" "Okay. "That's easy I can control your thoughts and dreams. It's a gift we get from being who we are it attracts our prey." "Now I'm your prey I thought I was your friend not something you eat." "Well your sorta both but I won't eat you even though you smell "Well delicious. And your welcome." "What am I supposed to be thankful for my only true frend is a you-know-what and he thinks I smell delicious. How am I supposed to cope with that." "You'll "Y ou'll figure something out and your thankful for me not eating you." "Thanks for your help. What else do you eat since I haven't heard of any murders lately." "Mybut stepsometimes dad is a morge advisor howaswe get the blood its still fresh it doesn't tastethat's as good the freshly dead." "That's interesting," and very gross. "we better get to school." "So you trust me now." "Yeah since you haven't eaten me yet." "You shouldn't because this might happen." He grabed my neck and had me in his arms before I could blink. He opened his mouth and kissed my neck. "Okay but still we need to get to school and please don't do that people will start talking." "I'm not going to school did you see the news today it's supposed to be sunny." "Why can't you come to school when it's sunny?" "Because our powers are more potent and less controlable. It's like the sun is a energy boost." "Cool see you later." The day went really slow then it was lunch I ate with Tristen for the first time and she liked that. We disected frogs in Biology and it was the most grossest thing. I never want to do that again. The bell rang and I gathered my school uniform for gym to wash and went to my car. I started the car and next to me was a note it read: " Meet me at the old cottage by the lake. Can't wait to see you. Tyler" 

 

Well that makes me a little uncomfortable going to an uncontrolable vampire well I think I'll keep my distance. I went down the road when I saw the police by the road. There was a crash and they were checking out the scene I could smell blood and it made me queasy. queasy. I didn't check out the scene myself for I was concentrating on more important things like trying to remember the questions I had for Tyler. I arrived on the dirt road to the old cottage but for it being sunny outside it was foggy and very humid I turned on my fog lights. Then I saw him walking down the road. I stopped the car and rolled down my window he turned his head and his eyes were a deep blood red."T red."Tyler yler are you okay." "No my powers have never been this way before I think I may have to go get something to eat before we sit and talk." "Okay wasif an accident near the was highway you couldblood go there and get somethere maybe your careful. There a lot of spilled drink that not the human containing the blood your teeth marks would have people think there was some kind of animal on the lose." "Okay be back in 2 minutes go ahead to the old cottage I'll be there soon." "Kay and be careful." "Why do I need to be careful your the one talking to an uncontrolable vampire?" "Fine hurry up." He was gone in a flash I drove down the road to the old cottage and he was there waiting for me at the door. "Feel better." "Lots. Now get inside before someone sees you." "Don't forget I have shows to do tonight." "Don't worry this won't take long." We went inside and there stood his sister and some other people maybe his family. "Tyler who are they?" "They're my family this is Dominique" the short black haired boy from school who was very handsome almost italian "and this is Chantel my step sister" the tall curly blonde "and this is my dad Rafiel " he was different he was tall but instead of black hair like Dominique he had red hair that matched his eyes. "and this is my step mom Marlene." she was

"Nice to meet you all I'm Brittany Maroon." "Nice to meet you so sorry about the weather and espescially our eyes." "Dominique don't try to scare her because it won't work she isn't even scared of me and my features." "Well she should be." "Don't pay any attention to him." "Welcome to the family!" "Thanks but we're not a couple Mrs. Mctodd." "Ohwant wellto then stillyou weoff want feel help." welcome anyway because we don't scare weyou needtoyour "Okay well what do you need my help for?" "We need you to stay away from Tristen she is bad news." "Why Tristen?" "Because she is a witch or vampire hunter and if you join us she'll kill you." "Thanks we weren't good friends anyway anyway.. That must have been uncomfortable at dinner the other night." "You have no idea." "Okay so stay away from Tristen." "Mom get her out of here!" "Why?" "Someone is coming and not just a normal someone one of us." "Get OUT!" Tyler and I ran out the cottage door but it was too late. "Good evening Mr. Mctodd and Ms. Maroon." "Get out your not welcome here." "How does he know my name Tyler Tyler what's going on." The other vampire was squatted down and so was T Tyler yler they both wouldn't listen until Rafiel came out and stopped them both.

 

"Good evening Foe." "You better tell that boy to hand the girl over or there will be serious consiquences." "She's apart of our family now we can do what we want with her." "She knows too much why do you trust this stupid girl she could rat us out and get all of us killed." "That's our buisness and the Pilate." "Well "W ell just know that Pilate will be hearing from me very soon." And he was gone in a flash. "Tyler how did he know my name?" "He was the one in your room." "How do you know that you would've had to be there?" "I was just hiding better than him he was planning to take you away from me and use you against me." "That was very sweet of him." "Hey you two love birds better get inside before Tyler Tyler gets an energy boost." "Well "W ell I better get going that was very interesting I'll see you tommorow." "Let me walk you to your car." "Okay." We reached my car he opened the door for me. "Thanks." I went to get in but he grabed my arm and swung me around then he kissed me. "That was nice." "Thanks ninety years of practice helps. But I didn't know that I had that kind of self-control now go before I kill you." "Thanks old man I'll see you later does this mean we're on item?" "Sure I guess we are. So much for being so secretive at school." "Okay see you later." I drove with tears in my eyes.

Chapter 4   Dead

 

I was crying because I had never kissed anyone and I just kissed a ninety year old vampire. I'm just being silly I wiped the tears away and thought of him in my favorite leather jacket. His smile was a little disturbing though but attracting. Maybe because I'm his girlfriend/prey. girlfriend/prey. I drove to my show I was looking out my car window when Tyler Tyler appeared. "How come you like to follow me everywhere?" "Because I have to protect you from Foe. Wouldn't Wouldn't want you getting hurt." "Now why is that Mr. Handsome." "Because I like you too much to lose you." "Great so when I'm eighty years old you'll still be seventeen!" "No because I could stop being a vampire." "Or you could make me into one of you and then you wouldn't have to worry about protecting me." "No." "Why not?" "Because you would have to leave your family." "Well "W ell that's my problem not yours." "All your problems are mine too you know since we're going out now." "No there not you don't hardly know me." "Are you so sure? Your Your mom died when you were just eight from lung cancer and your dad works in he military military." ." "Stop I understand you can read me like a book but still I don't like to talk about my mom." "Okay let's get inside for your show." show." We walked inside hand in hand. When we reached inside of the doors he took my jacket off my shoulders and my purse kissed me on the cheek and wished me luck. "Thanks boss." "Your welcome... what do you want me to call you sweetheart... honey... " "Stop no nicknames yet except for you yours is Mr Mr.. Handsome." "Oh thats lovely call me whatever you want as long as your happy."

 

"Thanks see you after after the show." show." I walked into my my dressing room changed into my blue silk dress and silver high heels and put my hair into a messy/classic bun. I walked onstage with loud applause and a familiar face in front wistleing me on. This is too weird just the other day I never thought vampires were real and here is my  boss/boyfriend/vampire cheering cheering me on. Things have gone way way too fast it feels like I'm in the world but someone else is controlling me. I did my show with grace and when I walked out Mr. Handsome came with a  bouquet of roses. "Thank you." "Your welcome precious diamond." "Thanks I kinda like it it will take some getting used to." "Well Mr. Handsome is going to need to talk to you alone." "Okay." We walked into my dressing room a look of pain came across his face. "You might want to sit down." "What's wrong?" "Something very traggic has happened your dad was in a bombing inccident in Lansing and is in the hospital now." now." I felt my stomach hurl upside down and backwards and my heart stop. I started to cry but then stopped for my dad needed me. "Will you take me to the hospital?" "Of course. Do you want me to carry you you look kinda green?" "Yeah I don't feel so good." "Okay." He carried me without effort to my car while I smelled the musky scent of his jacket and put my hand against his hard chest. I noticed something was under his shirt. "What's that?" "My crest it's our family's identity mine is a necklace made of chains you can look at it if you want." "Om okay." okay." I reached down his neckline grabed the chains and saw that a serpant was wound on a cross and it had Mctodd written into the snake. "Why does your family have their name on the snake and not on the cross?" "Seriously you want me to answer that it's very easy to find out why?"

 

"Oh because your on the devils side or what?" "No we used to be a christian family until we all caught the measels and another vampire saved us from dieing." "Do you know his name?" "You mean her name yes her name was Noel and she used to be my wife until Foe killed her her.. That's why I hate him so but now that I have you she doesn't even come into the picture anymore I feel whole again." We reached the car and he slid me into the seat and buckled me up I felt that I should've been more worried about my dad but I was a little more afraid of being killed by Foe since I was his girlfriend. "So you mean that since he killed Noel that he's giong to kill me that's why your  protecting me so much?" "That's what I'm afraid of." We arrived at the hospital around nine o'clock secretary's desk. "Where is Steven Maroon's room?"I ran to the "Visiting hours are over miss." "Let me see my dad or else I will call the police and let them carry him out for me." "Sweety don't be harsh." He looked into the secretary's eyes for two long moments and she said in room 309 he may be sleeping but that I could go in and see him. We walked down the hall when I asked him "What in sam haven was that?" "Nothing just some pursuasion." "Cool teach me how." "You can't because your not a you-know-what." "Well that can be arranged." "No it will not I don't want you sacrafricing for me that's my job." "It's both of our jobs. One may have to do other things for the other   because they love love them." Omigosh I just told him I lo love ve him do I really I've never felt this way before and I always want to be with him I guess I do. "What did you say?" "I said I love you I never want to leave your side I always want to

 

 be where you are." are." "I love you too." He turned me around and kissed me gently for a few minutes. "You "You don't know how right this feels I've wanted someone like you for a long time." "I understand completely." We walked together I had to braced myself to see the damage. I walked into this white washed and bleach smelled room and there he laid he had a cut on his eyebrow. eyebrow. How could I let him go and do this to himself? "Don't blame yourself. I can't stand to see you hurt like this." Tyler Tyler wispered in my ear. "Dad are you awake?" "What?" Dad opened his eyes and stared at me in confusion. "Oh dad!" I lay ontop of him but being careful not to hurt him  because I could feel the pain in in his eyes as he stared at me. But he stared at me "Who in confusion. are you? Where am I? What are you doing?" "Dad don't you remember it's me Brittany your daughter?" "No." "Let's get a nurse Brittany his heart rate is acclerating." acclerating." Tyler went to go get the nurse from down the hall. Why didn't dad remember me? Why didn't he remember anything? So many of them I started to cry. "Don't cry I know that I don't you but please tell me where I am and what happened to me?" "Okay your at the Lansing Hospital in Michigan you were in a  bombing accident here in Lansing you w were ere hurt but your supposed supposed to be okay except you can't remember anything." I started to breathe unevenly when Tyler Tyler entered the room he took me in his arms. He hugged me it felt like forever but I didn't want him to let go I wanted him to hold me tighter and tell me everything was going to be alright but that would only be a lie. My dad would die and not even remember me. Then I would have to go live in a foster home until someone adopted me or I was turned into a vampire and would tell everyone else I went to live in South America America something. I was rambleing butand I couldn't help only really closeorfriend besides Tyler Tyler was dieing I couldn't doit my

 

anything about which made me sick. Tyler Tyler let go of me and took me to the doctor to see if all of me was alright probably but instead he said this. "Doctor please tell us that he's going to live so she doesn't have a  panic attack." attack." "I'm sorry I can't." "Why why not?" I screamed at him then I started to cry even more heavely than before into Tyler's jacket. All I heard next was Tyler asking him what was wrong with him and hugging me and patting me to stop and listen but I wouldn't for there was too much stress my dad was going to die and I was being chased by a crazy bloodlusted vampire that wants to kill me. Mom. What would she think of me hanging out with a vampire. I know what she would do take me to our church and cast the devil out of me and homeschool me. "What it that he has head exactly?" "He hasistrauma to the sevearly and the part of the brain that the memory is enclosed is damaged that's why he can't rememer .... Brittany right." "Yes she needs to go see a doctor just in case she's going crazy." "I'm nooott crazy!" I stuttered "Shouldn't have said that she is very depressed I'll go let her say good-bye." We walked back into the room and I saw dad laying there tubes coming out everywhere now. now. "Dad I just want to tell you that I love you and hope you feel better soon." I kissed his forehead and went into Tyler's arms hugging him more violently than before. "You'll need to let me breathe or at least let me look like I'm  breathing. There there you can can come live with with me and spend the night at my house tonight maybe clear you mind some." "And how will you do that?" "You'll "Y ou'll see."

 

 

Chapter 5 love

He drove me to his place it was a house near the old cottage. He must have owned all this land because it was completely empty. We drove for a few miles then turned down a dark driveway driveway.. There was a two story white house with big windows filled with lamps and a kitchen. He took me inside gave me a tour until we found his room he had a  piano and guitar in one corner a twin twin bed in another and and a big selction of  cd's on a book shelf on the wall. Everything was dark navy blue and  black my favorite colors on him. I looked looked at him and he swooped me up in a cradle position and droped me on his bed he started playing an unfamiliar tune on his guitar. "I wrote that for you ever since I saw you. You You stole my soul well hypothetically speaking." "I know you have a soul because anyone that is this passionately in love with someone would have to have a soul to give." "Well you have a point but I highly doubt that. Would you like something to eat I know you eat three times a day is it dinner time for the human?" "Yeah "Y eah I'm sorta hungry after all that crying I think I'm ready to let him go." "Okay what would you like?" "I don't care just lead me to the kitchen." He led me down a narrow hallway the wall color was an adobe basche. I watch carefully to see if his family was home but I didn't see anyone or thing. "Where is Dominique and Rafiel and Marlene and Chantel why aren't they home?" "They went to my dad's work to get something to eat if youknow what I mean." "Do you need to get some?" "Not really." "Then how come yours eyes are the way the way they are?" "I can't leave you here alone." "But there is a living human being with just enough blood for a meal at least."

 

"No don't even think of that." "Why not?" "Because if I did say to speak take your blood I couldn't stop until the job was done. It's our nature." "Oh well let's say I cut myself on "accident" while I was making me something to eat and you just happen to help me clean it up." "Clean it up ehh?" "Yeah." "Okay that might work but I'm not going to let you cut yourself  just so I can get one sinking meal I can live wi without thout it." "Suit yourse yourself." lf." I grabed grabed a pan pan out out from under a cabinet cabinet and looked in the fridge of course it was empty. empty. But before I could say anything to Tyler Tyler he handed me a bag full of groceries that contained milk, cereal, eggs, cheese, and bread. I quickly put everything away exceptI turned the eggs cooking methe anomelet omelet.out When thepan omelet done offand thestarted stove and grabed of the and was scourched my hands. "Ouch shoot shoot." Tyler was taking a shower when for all I knew he was behind me in only a towel. "Are you okay? What happened?" I couldn't answer for I was attonished for he had hard rock abs and I was staring at the towel around his beautiful waist. "I'm fine just  burned myself." "Here let me get you some ice." He had ice in my hands before I could reject but it did help some. "Thanks." I spit out. "Your welcome are you sure your okay?" "Yeah." "Better get back to my shower be careful." Then he kissed my forehead and my palm ever so gently and walked towards the stairs. I watch the contours of his back and his musculant shoulders as he jogged up the stairs. "Wow!" "Wow!" I wispered to myself hoping that he didn't hear. hear. I ate in silence except for the fact I was listening to Tyler singing in the shower. A dinner and show that was unexpected.and After I was finished put the pan and inpiano the bench dishwasher went upstairs to Tyler's TI yler's room. I satplate on his

 

and started playing a tune my mother taught me when I was little it think  it was called "Spinning Wheel." "You are so beautiful." That made my heart flutter and my cheeks turn red. No one had said that to me outside my family. "Hows your hand?" "Better." "Sore?" "No it doesn't hurt anymore." After I said that he came over reached for my arms and started to dance he was dressed in a burgendee  button up dress shirt that showed off his muscles and some black jeans. Then when he stopped he looked into my eyes and I looked into his bla ck pupiled green eyes and then he slowly kissed me. He kissed me it seemed forever I didn't care for I didn't want anyone else kissing me than him. He let me neck. breathe take lips away from me helike just moved down to my Nobut onedidn't was in thehis house and that seemed a bad thing considering he was a boy and I was a girl but I don't think he would ever do that to me or would he? Tyler Tyler stopped imediately after I thought that and I knew I shouldn't even think of that. "No. Never. Never. I would not hurt you never!!!. Why did you ever think that way?" I could see a tear in his eye for not trusting him. He was angry but he was in my head so. "Why are you in my head?" "Because I wanted to know what you were thinking of when I was kissing you." "It was just a thought nothing else I know you would never hurt me. You love me too much but is it okay to wonder?" "Well for my sake could you not wonder when were together." "Wee will never be apart unless you have to go hunt and that would "W only be like five minutes because your afraid of losing me to Foe and thank you for being over protective." "What how is this being over protective and quit trying to change the subject we're talking about you promising not to wonder with me around please." "Okay but just promise me that you will never keep any secrets or

 

tell only partly the truth." "Okay well that top really is driving me crazy because its showing off your beautiful slender neck." "Tyler "T yler snap out of it I was afraid you were too hungry go get something right now before you bite me!" "No I can't leave you alone." "Then take me with you it's that simple." "I just don't want you getting scared." "Getting scared is way behind me I have to be brave for my dad." "And for me." We walked out the door into the darkness I hadn't looked at the time but I knew it was close to midnight. He cradled me in his arms like a baby and started running . It was nothing like I've ever seen he flew through the brush and trees for he took a short cut through the woods near his to house. But it wasslower like you were flying everything around seemed be going a lot I was suprised he didn't change theyou rotation of the earth. He started to slow as we approached a warehouse it had southern hilten county across the top. We We went inside the building looking warehouse inside there were white walls and a secretary's desk in the front. "Ah Mr. Mctodd and who is this?" "I'm Brittany Maroon." "Oh Ms. Brittany I'm sorry about your father very traggic being hit  by a bomb and Mr. Mr. Mcbaring damn hi him m to hell. Your father was a good man Brittany." "What did you say about Mr Mr.. Mcbaring?" "Didn't you hear? He was the man that killed those poor soldiers." "Could I have a picture of that damn.... never mind sorry sweetheart." "Of course considering he killed your girlfriends father absolutely." absolutely." I couldn't believe it but I knew that he would do everything in his  power to get to me. Yes it must be him. him. Foe that son of a bad words I won't say them though! "Omigod your right diamond he did. Look at the picture on the secruity camera."

 

"Jesus Christ I'm going to kill that s.o.b." Again I tried not to say the horrid curse words I knew Foe wanted me to say. "You know this is all his plan to destroy everyone I love then finally he'll get to you and then me! Please tell me you will kill him the chance you get." I had forgoten the secretary at her desk then remembered that no one knew about them being "vampires" the word didn't sound right they were regular people well vampires again with the not sounding right part. They were too nice. "Um... diamond will you excuse me for a minute?" "Of course." I hope he could read my mind and so I said a very  pleading sorry. sorry. W Weirdly eirdly I heard a "don't worry I'll fix it" in a very familar  voice. I turned around and he just smiled and turned back to the secretary.. I found a black bench that you usually found at a train station secretary and studied my nails until I heard "Come on."persuade" " "Did you her?" "Something like that." He smiled at me with his brilliant fangs showing. I stared in wonder. "Put those away!" I exclaimed. "Mary won't notice she's asleep." I glanced at the women that's name I found out was Mary. Mary. She had her head on her desk with her hands underneath. "What did you do?" "Don't worry about that. I need to eat." He led me to a door in the  back that reminded reminded me painfully of the the hospital doors. Tyler noticed that I had started to think about that again and squeezed my hand and turned me around to kiss me when I saw his parents down the hall. "Umm.. Tyler we have company." "I don't care." He wispered his breath was intoxicating and even though his family was there I just wanted to kiss him so badly. badly. "Tyler?" A female voice questioned. "I'm trying to ignore them at all possible." He wispered. " Yes?" Yes?" "I thought you and Brittany weren't an item?" It was his mother, Marlene, sheher wasexcelent wearingdark a cute black skirt with a radiant bluealready sweater that showed blue eyes. Apparently they had

 

aten. "Well that isn't any "Well any of your buisness is it?" He aasked sked rudely "Tyler "T yler don't be so mean." He must have really been hungary  because he was was never rude to anyone. "Well then I guess you need to get something to eat and we'll talk with Brittany here," She said sharply sharply.. "Okay then sounds great." I went over to talk with his family. family. Then remembered that they would know that I was spending the night. Shoot they'll probably make me sleep at a hotel or with Chantel. Wait they don't sleep or do they? "We're sorry Brittany." Rafiel spoke for everyone. "About what?" I asked. "Your dad." Marlene said quietly "Oh." I had almost forgotten. It seemed selfish for me but Tyler Tyler was good would at distrating Well could about just walk thestare room everyone forgetme. what theyhello werehetalking and in just heand was that amazing. "Mom we don't need to make the problem any harder for her. She  just forgotten because because of Tyler he's been distracting distracting her." her." Chantel  presumed or just read read my mind. "In this family we do not read each other's minds Chantel." Marlene accused. "Sorry." Chantel apologized. "Oh no need I figured that its time for me to move on I was about to finish High School and was going to go to college soon so I wouldn't  be living there or seeing him as oft often." en." "So you cope by pretending this is just a "vacation" or "busy" time for you not to be seeing your dad?" Dominique Dominique questioned. "Well.." I was cut off when Tyler entered the room eyes back to the normal saphire blue. "Dominique let's not worry about that right now." Tyler said sternly.. "What we need to worry about is how w sternly were ere going to get her a  place to sleep." sleep." "Butalong". I thought...." Tyler Tyler stared at me strangley but said in my mind "just play

 

"Well Brittany could stay with us of course. She would just have to "Well suffer on the couch." "Thank you. I very much apreciate it." I said through a yawn. It had to be nearly one o'clock in the morning. "It must be very late. Let's get you home and we'll talk with the court tommorow about you just living with us or on your own with us helping you of course. Do you have any other relatives?" Marlene asked. "Not that I know of and well I think I would rather be living with your support. Oh I said that wrong I mean you helping me get situated and a place of my home like my mom would do." Mentioning my mom hurt a little then I got images of having my own place. "I'll bring you home. You've had a long day." "I would very much like that." I felt that I could just fall asleep on the floor but I perked up thinking of having the ride home in his arms. We left and unfortunately I fell asleep in his arms on the way home. Chapter 6 Heaven

I woke wrapped in a burgundy blanket on their tan couch. Tyler Tyler was sitting diagonally from me watching whatever was on the news not very interested. Until he noticed I was awake, I smiled and he smiled back. I stifled a yawn and I was going to go to the bathroom but Tyler reached reached me before I had the chance. "Morning my precious diamond. How did we sleep last night?" "Better than the night before." I joked I hadn't had any nightmares since yesterday night. "Good." He kissed me on my forehead and I smelt his newer addition to his wardrope a gray cardigan. It smelt like icey aftershave and Axe. Axe. I remembered that I had to go to the bathroom because he was leaning to go. on me and putting more pressure on the bladder so I really had

 

"Tyler?" "Yes?" "Can I go to the bathroom now?" "Of course just hurry back." He laughed and I ran up the stairs into a hallway that I remembered had four doors and the one on the right that was the third one was the bathroom. I walked in because obviously no one should be in there. Or should they? There's another question for Tyler. yler. I rushed but noticed that there was turquoise tile on the floor. floor. With With light blue paint on the walls that matched. There were two sinks that had matching towel racks and bars of soap that looked like dolphins. Apa Aparently rently they had just remodeled it  because there was some of the walls weren't done. done. I wonder.... wonder.... shouldn't they be done by now with their amazing speed? There goes another one. I walked out the bathroom looking into Tyler's Tyler's room for my bag. But intruded he on tackled him reading a novel. Apa rentlythe I wasn't for him  because ta ckled me trying not Aparently to knock breat breath hfast outenough of me and threw me on his couch. Considering he didn't have a bed. "Close your eyes." Tyler Tyler instructed. I did as I was told and covered my eyes with my hands. He went to reach for something, something like  papers and sat down beside me. "Open." He said said smoothly. smoothly. I hoped he was talking about my eyes because I did and in front of me was a form of papers. "What are these?" I questioned. "Law papers, that say you are officially an adult considering you turned eighteen last Friday." "Cool I forgot that option." I tooked them from him and tried to read them. I could tell it had my full name, Brittany Anisteshia Anisteshia Maroon, on the top, my birthday birthday,, social secrurety number, and some other legal stuff. But at the bottom it officially stated that me, Brittany Anisteshia Anisteshia Maroon, was legally in the hands of the MCTODDS!? "Tyler "Tyler I'm not adopted am I?" "No were sort of like your ...." "Parents?" I added. "No. Social secrurety worker." "That's impossible."

 

"No Chantel is a worker for the government like a social secrurety worker." "Oh great I thought that me and you was going to be illegal and I wouldn't be able to do this." I turned and apparently didn't surprised him and kissed him on the lips. Man was this kiss the best. It intensified over a few minutes until I had to breath and then he laid me down. And started to put his hand up my thigh then I was debating if he was trying to get me naked. "Brittany your doing it again," "Doing what." "Wondering." "W ondering." He murmered then kissed me on the forehead and released me from his enlocking brace. "Sorry." I murmured back. "Well "W ell you need to get in the shower and get dressed but I guess you needIfclothes for that. ask Chantel if you can use some of her clothes. that's okay withI'll you?" "Fine with me." "Okay be right back. There are towels underneath the sink and shampoo and conditioner on the counter counter.. I'll put your clothes outside the door. Okay?" "Kay." "Kay ." He ventured out the room leaving me alone with his piano and couch. I went down the hall and found a note on the door. door. It read "Sweet diamond I left for groceries. Don't wonder off too far I'll be home in 5 minutes. Love you. Tyler McTodd. P.S. Don't worry Chantel didn't mind go ahead and look in her closet and see what you can find that you like. I'm sure something will pop out in your apeal. I turned around and looked through each door finding a purple room with  butterflies, aparently aparently this had to be Chantel's. I walked walked in finding millions of bookshelves almost covering the whole wall to my right. To my left was a wall that was a whole mirror and what looked like a ballet or dance floor. Her room reminded me of a ballroom split in half and connected to a library. library. She had a lounging chair and a balcony off the side of her room. roo m. Which over looked the Oaklahoman mountains miles away from their back yard. Thebre sliding glass doorsin. that led to  balcony were ope open n and a cool breeze eze was coming coming It was in inher the

 

 beggining stages of fall. The lleaves eaves of the trees trees in their back yard were  just starting to turn orange orange and red colors. I hurried into her closet closet beside the glass doors and was amazed at the size of it. There were a stack of about thirty shoes of every color and style. Very expensive. I looked all around me in aw at the all sorts of dresses and shirts and jeans. I grabed a brown and tan dress that had a floral print, but not the pioneer look more modern, and some brown high heels. I stepped out of the ginormous closet went into the bathroom down the hall. I turned on the shower and started to look for the towels when I heard a door opening. So long for five minutes alone. I took off my very worn blue jeans and sandy colored sweater and hopped into the very welcoming shower. shower. I lathered up with this sweet smelling lilac body wash and let the hot water loosen all my muscles from the stress I had received lately. I cried a little remembering rememberin g my dad and hoping Tyler Tyler didn't hear me. I started practicing for tonight's show.I hair and conditioned. I stepped out the hot shower and into washed a lightlymy damp towel from all the condensation. It was warm and comforting but not as good as the shower. I got dressed in the newly found attire. The dress of course fit perfectly and the heels were absolutely stunningwith the dress. I brushed my thick curly wet hair four or five different times making sure it was completely tangle free then blow dried it straight.I grabed my dirty clothes and opened the door and there he was leaning casualy against the wall on the oposite side of the bathroom door. door. "I've been waiting, Thought you'd never get out of there. Figured I had some pretty bad competition in with the bathroom." He joked with a sedistic grin on his face. "Beauty takes time." I said sarcastically back. then I murmered "Like I have any." Hoping he wouldn't hear and forgetting about the extremely sensitive ears vampires had. He took my face in between his hands ever so gently and kissed my lips lightly. lightly. "Sometimes I don't think you're looking at the same person in the mirror when I look at your face. To To see your face brightens my day my sweet diamond." He complemented me. I blushed of course. " Really?" I asked stuned buthe hardly believing Well Well he was the hottest guy at school then probably knewhim. a thing or since two about

 

looks. He sighed "You have no idea. If I was an artist I would only be able to draw your face. I just memorize every detail. The small freckle above your lip, the ring around your eyes, and the way your hair curls around your ears in that adorable way way." ." He looked at me in admiration. He had no idea how that made me feel. "Well look at you Mr. perfect. Since your a vampire with perfect skin and perfect hair. I envy you sometimes and I get quite jealous when girls look at you in a certain lustic way." I remembered the day when Jessica, the most prettiest girl in school, was practically drooling over him and was thankfully turned down. "You "Y ou don't have to worry about me leaving you when Foe is out there." He confidently took my hand and started to hum an unfamiliar tune. "But what happens when Foe is dead? Would he leave me then?" I thought to myself. "BRITTANY!" He yelled sternly. It had caught me off guard and stunned me a little. Almost bringing tears to my eyes then he said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you but when you wonder like that it just breaks my heart. I would never leave you. We're We're connected and it would break both of our hearts a significant amount. I love you with my unchanging heart and soul. Even if I don't know if I have one. I was about to object when a very cursed tear left my eye. I looked away hoping he wouldn't notice but definetly did when he hugged me and stroked the hot tear away. "I'm sorry. So sorry. To see you cry breaks my heart terribly. Oh my sweet diamond." He murmered in my ear. I made a mistake to look at his pain filled eyes. I reached for his face and stroked his hair and kissed him sweetly. sweetly. His kisses were painfilled but grew into a more urgent kiss. Like he wanted to be within me and understand my soul. I traced the outside of his lips with my tounge when I came up for breathe. He took my hands in his. Then we went to walk wherever he wished. I hoped he knew that I forgave him. I didn't want him to hurt. "I figured that out and you." fluttered with love and excitement. HeBrittany was mine notI love totally but My still heart he was my

 

 boyfriend. We We reached the kitchen and went below the stai stairs rs somewhere he hadn't taken me till we reached outside. It wasn't bright but there was an overcast look around the place. Outside there was gardens with fountains and benches. He led me to a wooden swing for two and we sat down. "I want you to know that there are ways for me to become human again." He paused. "I want you to think about why you shouldn't become a monster like me." He said with desperation for me to understand. But I knew he wasn't a monster, not to anyone. While he paused I thought about becoming one of him and the cons and pros of it. One. I would have to live like him forever or until I turned back into a human. T Two. wo. I would always have to worry about moving for the age thing. Three. Having to find food would be annoying too. Pros. One. I would be with Tyler the rest of my life. Two. I would have a great life with him. Three. Itransparencey would stay younge forever without thethe fact of the human transparencey. . But I realized that all of pros, except for the last one, was centered around him. Well crap. Let's say for instance that Tyler, and I'm going to extremes here, is killed some way by Foe. Why would I need to be a vampire? "So you can kick his ass for killing me!" He said harshley. I looked at him in disbelief. "Sorry, I didn't really mean that."

Chaper 7 Hell "I don't want to think about life changing consequences here. It's like we're getting married or something." He gave me a knowing look. "Tyler "T yler we don't need anything that serious right now in our live's. I'm only eighteen!" "I didn't say anything I just liked the thought. That's all . We're We're not getting married. Not we yet will at least." He murmured. "So eventually get married?" I asked hopefully. hopefully.

 

"Eventually but I was just thinking. That if we had a ceremony it's called enternal bondation..... that would not let any other vampire except me change you then we wouldn't have to worry about Foe." "So it's a vampire wedding. Who gets to bite me or not?" "Let's not put it that harshly harshly.. But yes." "He would still come after me. I mean even great husbands get cheated on I think." I wondered out loud. "Yes but there is one advantage." "What?" "If a ceremony takes place. And you agree to becoming my "bite" ,as you put it, you would be utterly repulsive to him." "So basically it's like a major stink bomb. So when will we get eternally bonded?" "As soon as possible." "So "Yestonight!" I'll call Chantel and she'll make it look beautiful. Because the  bounding is supposed to reflect reflect our love she will will spend the whole whole day asking you questions. While she shops." "Sounds like fun to me!" He sudenly stopped swinging. "Someone's here." He said sternly. " Maybe its Chantel?" "No, Brittany, Brittany, it's Foe. He's in my bedroom looking for us. Follow me and try to keep up!" I took off my heels and was ledded around the garden into a certain maze. So I grabbed Tyler's Tyler's hand and let him lead me to the our rescuous get away. The maze was constucted out ouf big green bushes. So Foe wouldn't see us. My heart raced with anticipation and was beating so loud I bet Tyler Tyler could easily hear it if he was human. I certainly could, I tried to calm down so my human features wouldn't give us away. We stopped at the last corner. "Get on my back. " He wispered sternly. "Why?" I questioned. "Don't ask me anything just trust me!" He said urgently. urgently. smoothly as I could but not verywere gracefully he just caughtI jumped my legsup andaswas off in time. Running. There no words to

 

describe this overpowering ride as the tree past by us without a sound. Everything around us seemed untouched by his feet as if we were floating. Then we started to slow and was standing in front of the morge in just a few minutes. I tried to think of a way to get off without showing my panties to everyone. But thankfully Tyler Tyler knew what I was thinking and put my back towards a wall where no one or a camera could see. Which brought up another question. "When someone takes your picture will you show up in the film or is it a myth?" "Your "Y our asking me a stupid question when your life was just in danger?" He said through clenched teeth. Aparently I was speechless or didn't answer him quick enough for his patience so he replied, "No." "No, about it being a myth or taking your picture and showing up?"

"It's not a myth. It's true I don't show up in cameras or in video cameras for that matter matter." ." Guessing my babbling mind. "So if there were any video cameras around here I would be the one floating in the air hunched over like a deformed mythical creature." I said jokingly. He snickered. "Wait are there like fairies and stuff around here." "Well "W ell we've heard of a clan of faries in Europe when we used to live there but they liked to be called flying people or something like that. It's been quite a long time." He looked offward as if he could see something far off in the distance. "What is it?" I asked "Foe is trying to track your scent thankfully he's quite horible at it. He's just going the oposite direction we came from probably because of the direction of the wind." I noticed my hair flowing and imediatedly threw it over my shoulder so he could get a better wiff. "You smell rather delicious today. I wonder why?" "Maybe because I probably used a lilac body wash instead of my regular dove body soap." "Well "W ell you do look became absolutely barely to take my eyes off you." I immediately selfstunning. concious.I can He started massage my

 

shoulders. I had been really tense for all the stress that I had been going through, and well my life was just in danger. "You should probably eat while we're here." I said. "I was already thinking the same thing. But first I'll bring you to Chantel." We walked through the doors of the morgue. Chantel was wearing a bright blue cardigan with and blue, white, and green plaid skirt. One word describes her always: cute. A Ass Tyler Tyler and I walked into the big office Mr. McTodd had, I noticed all the walls were lined with portraits of landscapes and nature. They were rather gorgeous, you stare at one of the objects in the painting turned around and looked at them again and would find something you didn't notice before. Very detailed, my kind of painting. When I finally took my eyes off the  paintings I went over over to where Cha Chantel ntel was standing. standing. Marlene and Chantel were seeming to be making plans for Tyler Tyler and I's bonding ceremony. "So whacha doing?" I asked them. "Thinking of what herbs we need from the store for the cleansing ritual. Are you excited?" "Actually...I'm "Actually ...I'm all kind of confused about the whole thing. Does this ceremony technically marry me and Tyler Tyler vampirically?" "Yes and no. You see the herbs will make any other vampire that tastes your blood repell and die. Other than Tyler Tyler,, of course. See you are technically married but there is a whole 'nother ritual for that. But no  because of that other ritual. Plus you aren't a vampire yet." Yet? So Tyler was planning on turning me into a vampire someday. That's interesting. "No Brittany." Tyler said sternly. Stupid mind reading capabilities. capabilities. "Well why not?" I whined. "Because your not ready and I'm not ready to argue over this. Chantel I think you and mom are done with the shopping list and can take with you now." at me. "Isaid willit's seenot you tonight. Don'tBrittany worry you'll be fine. It'sHe justlooked like Marlene like we're

 

getting married. It's for your protection against Foe." He kissed my forehead. I walked out of the room linked arm in arm with both Chantel and Marlene awaiting to find out what I really got myself into. Once I stepped out of the building and into the McTodds' McTodds' 1962 galaxie, one of my very favorite old time cars by the way, way, and started to think about one thing. What if me and Tyler Tyler didn't work out, and I met another vampire that couldn't drink my blood. That would suck. Then I  pushed that thought out of my head as I started started hearing Marlene Marlene asking what my favorite flower was and I told her lily's. "That's too bad." She said. We We were passing their house and were going down the street the opposite way of the grocery store. Which made me pause my first question as to why. "Where are we going? The grocery store is the opposite direction." I questioned. "A special special place, as in specializing in vampiric needs." Chantel tried to explain so that I could understand. "Oh and Marlene," "Yes?" "One question to your comment. Why is it too bad that I like liley's?" I wondered. "Liley's contain a ceratin perfume that has powerful capabilities that can cause you danger." She tried to avoid explaining why, but I wasn't going to let her her.. I was being completely honest with them and I deserved the same. "What kind of capabilities? capabilities?"" "I would rather Tyler Tyler tell you this than I. Let's just say it would definitely interfere with you and Tyler's Tyler's relationship." That gave me one idea that I was not going to go furhter into. "Brittany,, what's your outher favorite flower?" Chantel asked, "Brittany trying to desperately change the subject, which I was willing to take. "Blue bells." As As a child I remembered me and my dad at my grandparents farm picking wild flowers for them and picnicing in the feilds"Excellent next to thechoice." starwberry patches. Agai Again n very vague.

 

"What is it now?!" I desperately wanted to find out more about vampire's. Considering I was dating one and I was going to be eternally  bonded with. "Hasn't Tyler Tyler told you anything?" Chantel asked. "Hardly." "Well," "W ell," Chantel went on explaining, "Different flowers represent different powers and significances. Why do you think everyone likes roses? Except for you of course." "I do like roses but I would have to guess that they would represent love." "Yes and No. Their powers are different on what the giver is meaning to give to the reciever reciever.. They are camelians in the flower world." Marlene explained. "Blue bells represent innocence, at least for you. When you were thinking of your farm as a child. You You were a child and hence you were innocent. As you are so very now. now. But vampirically they would have to  be.... I don't know we'll have to llook ook it up in one of our m many any collections of books, but for now what is your favorite color?" It went like this the whole way. I said peach and so on. The WHOLE car ride over to you will never guess it, an old fire house. When we arrived it was pich black and I was starting to feel the heaviness of sleep on our way inside. The only strange thing about it was it was a pottery shop. The garage had been opened up and made into a  big display window and store while the other part of the house was a, well, a house. The lights were on which were those neon white creepy floresence. They They scared the crap out of me. Instead of knocking on the front door we went to the side of the "garage" and there was a little keypad there beside a metal door. Marlene went punched in a few numbers and waited. Then I heard it. Do you ever get that feeling, when fingernails scratch a chalkboard feeling? I looked at Marlene and Chantel, apparently they hadn't heard anything, because they were waiting for the door something to happen. It was like screeching tires,  blood boiling screams, screams, and metal on metal destruction destruction all in one. It was very terrifying. I pressed hands over my my earshead so I wouldn't hearwhen it but it wouldn't go away it wasmy like it was inside only! Finally

 

the metal door opened it just stopped. I was going to ask Marlene what the hell I just heard when I got distracted by all the dead bodies hanging from the ceilings in chains. I started to scream when Chantel put a hand over my mouth. "You cannot talk, guess what those are?" Chantel screamed inside my head. "I don't know dead bodies?!" I thought. "NO! Zombies!" Chantel seemed frantic. "OMG!!! There are real people eating zombies?" I realized. "Yes so be quiet and don't say anything." She inserted.
