The Vampire and I- Part 2
Strolling back through the forest, the sun's rays have disappeared and the sky is pearl grey from every direction. We enter the shed through the seamless hidden door and a sit down on the floor. “I have something I need to do, I’ll be back in a few minutes”, he says and then vanishes in a swift movement. Waiting for him to come back, time seems to go very slowly as I stare at the dim sky. A person appears 3 minutes later. That was quick- I think. “Hi, your back quick-”, I turn to face him but a different face appears. “Hello, how are you~?” says snow haired. “What are you doing here?”, I mumble. “Oh, you don't need to know that”, he says and edges closer to me. “Get away from me”, I say angrily, moving away from him. I scrape my finger across the wood and it starts to bleed. Ouch.. His eyes turn red and he grasps my neck. I try to push him away but struggle. “Your blood is as sweet as candy~”, he says. “Let go of me!”I shout and push him as hard as I can but it doesn't do anything. He pulls my neck closer and as he's just about to bite me.

Someone else appears, grabs his shoulder and thrusts him against the floor. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!” , he yells at snow haired guy. Snow haired guy stands up. “You’ve changed”, he says and vanishes within a second.I stand there blankly and tremble, trying to process what just happened. “Are you ok?, I shouldn't have left you alone”, he says worriedly. I don’t even know what to say. “I'm ok.., I manage to say and shift my eyes away from his face. He wraps his arms around me and a warm embrace covers me, my face buried in his clothes. I slowly put my arms around him too and closed my eyes, shaking. We stay like that for a minute and then he pulls away. “That will never happen again, I promise”, he says calmly as he holds out his hand. I look at him softly in the eyes and place my hand in his. We both smile at each other, the promise has been made.

I hold his hands tightly and skip out of the shed, he follows behind me, our hands connected. “You can live with me, this shed is cold and ancient”, I say. “Ok thank-you darling,” he replies. I blush, I've never been called darling before. He laughs heartily. “Sorry I didn't mean to make you blush”, he says still laughing. I open the door and take my shoes off and so does he. Locking the door, the light buzzes on as we place our shoes on the floor. “Your house is really nice”, he says, examining the place. “Thanks”, I say looking at the time it's 10:17. “Make yourself comfortable , I'm going to have a shower”, I say walking up the wooden stairs.

A few minutes, I walk out of the bathroom with my grey, silk pyjamas and enter my room. I jump in fight when I see him sitting on my bed. “Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you”, he says. “It’s ok, I'm too used to being alone”, I reply. I close the door and lay in bed. “You're going to sleep now?”, he asks. “Yea, I'm quite tired”, I say, yawning. “Oh ok, I’ll try not to wake you up”, he says. Then I realise that vampires don't sleep! “Ok, thanks, you can do whatever you like while I’m sleeping”, I answer. He nods and I pull the cream white covers up and fall asleep. Beep!Beep!Beep! The alarm goes off. I grunt and sit up ,still half asleep. Turning my head I see him staring at me. I flinch. “What were you doing all night?”I ask, rubbing my eyes. “Not much, just watching you sleep”, he says. Is that what vampires do while people sleep? I say to myself. “I'm going to get ready, you can go downstairs if you like”, I say and get out of bed and head to the bathroom. “Ok”, he replies going down the stairs, they creek with every couple of foot steps. After freshening up, I go into my room, close the door and get dressed. I put on a black plaid skirt, beige tights and a light brown jumper with lace cuffs. Looking out the window, clouds cover the sky in a light grey colour and there isn’t a breeze at all.

Walking down the stairs, I see him sitting on the couch and he turns to face me. “You look nice”, he says. “Thanks”, I say delighted by his compliment. I place some bread in the toaster and get some jam from the fridge. “Put this on”, he says, handing me a little bracelet with a button on it. “If you're in danger press the button and It will alert me, I don't want anything to happen to you”, he says slightly nervous. I swallow thinking about what happened before and put the bracelet on. “Ok, I'll be back in a bit, stay safe”, he says and vanishes in thin air. I bite down into my jam toast and wait anxiously for him to come back.

3 minutes later, I finish eating and start cleaning the table when a person emerges from the air. Please be him, please be him I say to myself. I spin around and see him. I let out a sigh of relief and run up to him and hug him. I glance up at him.“I was so worried”, I mutter. “It’s ok don't worry, sorry I took a long darling”, he responds. I step back and see that he has dirt smudges all over his clothes. I stomp up the stairs, go into my room and grab some clothes for him. “Here , change into these”, I say, handing him a black turtleneck, black trousers and a brown plaid jacket. “Thanks”, he says and heads up the stairs to get dressed. Putting on my black boots, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. He puts his shoes on and I grab my bag. “How do I look?” he asks. I glance at him. “It looks really good,we even match!”I say pleased that the clothes I gave him look good. “Thank-you, princess”, he says with a small smile. I blush- princess why would he call me that!? “Lets go to the mall, the taxi is outside waiting for us”, I state. He takes my hand and holds it, his arctic cold hands against my hand. We hop into the taxi and drive off the quiet sound of music playing in the background , we’ll get there in 15 minutes.
