I flipped and saw Shadow's face inches away from me. I lost balance and fell when he caught me by placing his hands around my waist. When he steadied me I was staring at his perfect features and I wanted trace his face with my fingers. He pulled me even close to him gently kissing my lips. Tickles ran all over my body and then the kiss grew deep. I was so lost in his arms when I suddenly noticed the ring on my finger.

I pulled myself back with great strength and shrieked at the top of my voice.

"Shades, I'm engaged."

His face turned even paler than he usually is. I turned away from him to make myself control. When I am calmer, I felt guilty for shrieking at him like that. I thought of apologizing to him for shrieking at him but he is nowhere. He must have left.


<Shadow's POV>

I have been watching her over the three days. She is restless even during sleep. She is lost in thoughts. I knew it has something to do with me.

I walked past her home hoping she would notice me. She did and she ran after me.

When she offered me a cup of coffee I don't want to show my enthusiasm so I acted as if I was considering her offer.

When her friend Tony whispered something .She blushed red, I felt like kissing her there and then itself.

She was as interested in books as Nina was. She left me to answer the call but I don't want to be separated from her, I stood close to her trying to hear who it was on the phone.

Dan!!!! Damn it. He's always coming in between us. I wish I could tear him apart but I promised Nina that I would never hurt a human.

I caught her from falling; she stared at me with those beautiful eyes. I longed to touch her; she raised her hands trembling and traced my features. I stood still but I couldn't contain it any longer so I pulled her close and kissed her. I could feel her enjoying it and then suddenly she grew tense and pulled away from me.

"Shades, I'm engaged." she said and turned her face away from me.

I was dumbstruck that's what Nina used to call me. It almost felt like her calling me.

I ran out into the forest and then to our place.

Her words reverberated in my mind. Could she be Nina? How’s that possible?


<Summer’s POV>

I went to the match; I wanted to apologize to Dan for cheating on him. Dan’s team won the match; I couldn’t get a chance to speak to him.

That night I had a dream of Shadow and the exotic kiss, I woke up startled. I walked up to the window but I didn’t find kitty. It became regular companion of mine in this lonely place.

I stood beside the window for sometime waiting for the kitty to come. It didn't. I slipped into the bed hoping I wouldn't see him anymore.

Days passed but I didn't see of him anymore. It was what I wished for but still my heart ached to see him at least one more time. I found these thoughts very disturbing but couldn't remove them from my head.

I was walking through the thick dense trees until I reached a lake which is very beautiful in every sense of word. Moon shone over the lake playing hide and seeks through the branches. Shadow sat at the other end, one hand in the water. He is constantly moving his hand through water causing ripples and thinking about something. He must have heard me coming so he turned towards me and flashed a smile at me. If anything is beautiful in this world that would be him. He stretched his arms invitingly.

I moved shyly and then embraced him softly. He whispered softly in my ears, "I love you."

I smiled at him and nodded. He gently kissed me.

I woke up startled rubbing my eyes to clear away the remainders of the dream. I sat quietly staring at the moon peeping through my window. When I heard kitty purring at my window sill I walked gently towards him so that it wouldn't panic and run away.

"Hi, kitty. Please don't go." I pleased.

It seemed to understand me; it sat waiting for me to come closer.

"I wish I could talk to someone but there's none to hear me out."

I sighed.

"I hate to say this but I think I'm starting to fall for Shadow. I know it's wrong because I'm engaged. What can I do? I didn't feel anything like this anytime before. It's like I know him for many years and he is always there for me. May be I'm crazy." I said shaking my head in disbelief.

Stifling a yawn, I said goodbye to kitty and walked to my bed.


<Shadow's POV>
I didn't go after her after that day. I need time to think it out clearly. At a length I decided that she'll be mine after that kiss I longed for her. I decided that I should see her.

I saw her waiting by the window; I gazed at her longingly when I heard Cathy calling for me. Hesitantly, I ran after her voice taking one last look at the figure by the window.

"This better be a good reason to disturb me." I thought.

When I reached her she is standing along with two other vampires.

"Who are they?" I thought.

"She is Mary and he is Jasper." she said.

"Their coven is attacked by the vampire hunters today and these are the only people left." she said.

"The hunt is heading towards us now. We need all support we can to fight them off." Matt explained.

Our coven is increasing in number and that makes us easy to track but Matt is true we need all the support we can. I thought about the last time when everything I held dear was taken away from me. Rage filled me.

We walked to home to tell the news about the hunt heading towards us. There are almost 10 in the coven now including us; Matt and Cathy, Jasper and Mary, Lisa and Max, Lucy and Henry, Judy and me.
We told them the news. I'm the spokesperson and the lead of the coven.
"We have to be prepared and strike with a plan before they strike us." I said.
"We need to get trained in all possible ways, we'll start our training right from tomorrow and these time victory will be ours because we have a secret weapon." He said thinking about Summer.
Next day, I went to see her and she was still wide awake staring at the window. What was she waiting for? I thought. I let myself in.
"Hey, kitty. Please don't go." She called.
Was she calling me? How could that be? Does she know it's me in animal form? My mind raced with the possibilities of her knowing me and when she said that I'm falling for Shadow.
"This is it." I overjoyed.
My plan is working, in no time she'll be mine and this time Nina will be mine and that bloody hunter will be paying for what he did to her. He thought.


<Summer's POV>

My heart was still longing to see him once. I never saw him after that day obviously he must be upset by my reaction.

Dan is getting impatient with my behavior; he keeps asking me why I am so distant these days. I tried lying but it wouldn't work because he knew me very well.


He said he would pick me up in the evening for a movie. I nodded. I walked towards my home since it's near to my college when I saw someone standing in my lawn. I ran thinking it might be Shadow.

"Hi," I called.

My head dropped when I saw its Luke.

"Can I talk with you for a moment?" he asked.

I nodded and let him in.

"Look, I don't want to intrude or something but I'm worried about Dan." He said tentatively.

I frowned. What's he speaking about?

"Dan loves you very much and your behavior these days is getting on his nerves very much which is a bad thing for team."

"He is worried about you. He thinks you're being distant from him these days. He doesn't want to lose you. If you have any problems just talk to each other." He mumbled.

Dan is really good guy, I shouldn't worry him. He loves me a lot and I should return back his feelings than having silly crushes on some random persons, I thought.

"Thanks for telling me. We'll sort it out between us." I said.

He nodded and left me to think over.

That evening Dan picked me up. We went to a movie and then to a restaurant. I forgot about everything and truly tried to enjoy with him. When he dropped me at my steps, He kissed me passionately on my lips, I enjoyed it for second and then Shadow's image flickered in my mind. I pushed him back.

"I'm sorry." I said closing the door on his face.

I hurried into my room and fell face down on the bed.

"I'm messed up." I cried.

I felt something touch my legs. I saw kitty's paws on my legs. I sat on her my laps and rubbing her fur and spoke to it.
"I'm really messed up. What did I do back there with Dan?" I said crying.

It stared into my eyes. I wiped away my tears.

"I felt like I'm cheating on Shadow when I kissed him but.." I trailed off unable to put it in words.

It rubbed it's head on my hands. I looked at it.

"What do you think I'm gonna do. I don't know whether I'll see Shadow again. Even if I say I don't know whether he'll speak to me after all that happened and what about Dan? He’s just being nice to me and me????" I said still wiping my tears.

I slept crying and kitty slept beside me over the night. It's a comfort to have her around.


<Shadow's POV>

The moment she pushed Dan guy away from her, I knew she is all mine.
I went into her room and she is crying. I tried to comfort by rubbing her hands. She sat me on the lap. It felt like heaven only I couldn't see her crying like that.
When she babbled all her emotions to me I felt like taking
