Eternal Embrace
Part 1:
The first time I saw him I was at a party with my friends that I didn’t want to attend but I showed up because I didn’t want to disappoint them all. I didn’t imagine actually enjoying the night and not faking smiles in as many photos as I thought I would. My whole night was miserable before he walked in and walked towards me.

I totally thought he was going to talk to me but instead he didn’t and bumped right into me and didn’t even apologise. I asked what his problem was but he didn’t reply or even turn around and stop walking away. Without even thinking I ran in front of him to stop him walking away. He tried to walk around me but I didn’t allow it.

He told me not to bother him and I’d be safe but that made me want to talk to him more. I told him I didn’t care about being safe as long as my heart is at peace and is happy. He then grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the door of the party.

He then asked me if I was sure about risking my safety and so without hesitation I said yes. He then told me I was making a huge mistake and left in a blink of an eye before I could even respond to him.

When I went back into the party my friends didn’t even seem to notice me after I apologised for leaving the party so unexpectedly. Once the party was over I decided to walk by myself as everyone was just ignoring me.

The person I’d met earlier then said he told me I was making a mistake. I asked him what he meant but all he did was just laugh but there was no humour in it. He told me if we were to know each other and be at least friends that nobody could know about him so I couldn’t be seen or heard by anyone. Or at least until I asked to be seen again by them and no longer see him anymore like the rest of them.

I decided to give him a chance and become friends with him and we even went to cafes together and didn’t pay because nobody could see us. Something was off about him but I couldn’t tell what so I tried to ignore it.

We spent weeks together just talking like we’ve known each other all of our lives and could tell each other anything. One night he told me to meet him at the park because he had something to show me.

I had to sleep all day to make sure I didn’t have him waiting in the park whilst I slept the time away so I was feeling quite energised when I awoke.

When I finally got to the park two minutes early I saw lights hung from tree to tree and a picnic blanket set on the grass. He then came out from behind a tree and startled ne and gestured for me to sit down on the picnic blanket.

I waited for him to do the same but he just stood there looking at me. He then told me that I can’t scream when he shows me the surprise.

He then opened his mouth and I saw fangs and it took all my strength to not scream in surprise. He then must’ve noticed because in one second he was sitting in front of me with one of his hands covering my mouth and the other on his lips gesturing for me to stay quiet.

When I finally absorbed all the information in and calmed down both of his hands moved to his knees. He told me not to worry and that he won’t hurt me. I then couldn’t help but ask if he was really a vampire and he just silently nodded. He then got up to leave but my hand gripped onto his wrist to keep him there with me in that moment.

He then gently escaped from my grip I had on his wrist and started to walk away so fast I had to run to keep up with him. I told him to stop walking so fast and just talk to me but he just kept walking away from me. I told him I didn’t care if he was a vampire or a human because I’d trust him and love him either way no matter who he was and what he looked like.

Finally, he stopped walking and turned to me and hugged me right before pulling away from me and holding onto my hands. He told me that he was ashamed of who he was and to never trust a word that comes out of his mouth and to never love him.
Part 2:
I couldn’t believe that he was trying to control my own heart’s decisions. I told him he was the only person my heart had ever trusted and he suspected me by asking about my friends and family. I told him that I’ve got no family as they’re all dead and have been since I was two years old. I told him that my own parents betrayed me and I wasn’t even surprised when I heard them talking about betraying me. He asked if I trusted them before the betrayal then and I said that when I learned English fast by the age of two I heard their plans behind my back. My words were quivering so I took a deep...
