to know what he has to say.

“Ok so what do you have to say?”

He looked at me like he didn’t expect me to sit down. I don’t blame him. I didn’t expect me to sit down either. Then something weird happen when he looked me in the eyes. I couldn’t look away and then what felt like an electric shock went between us. I know he felt it too because he jerked away then had looked out the window. After a few minutes of awkward silence he let out a big sign.

“Your birth name is Elizabeth Gillian. When you were born you weren’t expected because it had only been six months. You were three months early. When you were born your mother did die giving birth to you but your father was there and you were a very healthy baby. Which was a shock. He then brings you to us for our help. We did end up helping you. With everything really. We also became great friends with your father. Months after your father finally told us that your mother was human.”

“Sorry to interrupt your little story but isn’t everbody human? I mean wasn’t he?”

I know now that Quinn was a vampire too. But why didn’t he just kill me now like the man in my dreams wanted to? Why didn’t he kill me now while we were alone? He gave me a scary smile and then starts speeking again.

“No he wasn’t. None of us is. I wouldn’t have known your father if I was human now would I.”

My eyes got wide and my mouth drop open I quickly closed it. He’s telling the truth. Just like I thought he is a vampire. I can just feel it.

“Now back to the story. Well now that we know you mother was human we knew that you wasn’t one of us---but you wasn’t human either. You are a different species. The first of your kind in over a thousand of years. You’re what we called a half breed. You species were whipped out and to never to be created again and that ment you were in danger so we had to give you away. Your father didn’t agree with it at first because he already lost your mother and he didn’t want to loose you too. But after a while he figured that it will be safe for you to stay away from our kind and live with your mothers. He knew as much as we did that the sinbres would come looking for you one day.”

As he told the story chills went up my spine and I shivered even though it wasn’t cold here. Who are the sinbres? Did they find me already just like Quinn did? Was the man in my dreams one of them? Is my father still alive? Why was Quinn helping me? He let out a big breath and started to talk again.

“And that day has come. They found out about you. We don’t know how but they did. We protected you for the last 17 years but now its time for us to train you. They will not stop until they find you. He will not stop….”

I stop him by talking. Not because I wanted all my questions answered but because I couldn’t hear anymore. So I decided to lie. Maybe he will leave me alone if I don’t believe him.

“Look not that I don’t believe you but----I don’t believe you. Do you really think that I will stout that low that I will believe anything about my father even if it’s a fantasy? Well there’s no such thing as vampires.”

I said it with a little laugh to make it sound convincing. It’s scary really because most of the things he said the man in my dreams told me.

“I didn’t mention anything about vampires.” He said.

I froze. Oh shit he didn’t mention anything about vampires did he. Crap!

“Elli where are you?” a girl voice say.

Save by the little girl once again. She’s gotten me out more things than this but it mostly had been with the law not with a boy who is a vampire.

“Melisa what are you doing here this late” I asked

Not that I wasn’t happy about her saving my life but she shouldn’t be out here this late. I still cared about her. She sat down beside me at the table.

“Looking for you of course. But it looks like you’re busy.” She said while leaning into the table looking at Quinn.

“No im not and we should leave. Where’s your mom?”

“Where she always is. Drunk at her boyfriends house not caring about where im at and who im with. I was hoping that I could stay over your house but I think you already got someone going over there.” She said giggling.

“Stop playing around Melisa and you are coming home with me.” I said while grabbing her arm and her book bag.

“Well what about your friend. Where’s he staying tonight?”

I frowned

“He’s not my friend and I don’t care where he stays tonight. He can be in the dumpster for all I care. Now come on we are gong home now” I said looking at him.

“Where not done talking.” He says frowning back at me.

Melisa gave me a puzzled look. I don’t want her in this or even knowing about it. So I gave Quinn a look before I spoke again.

“We will talk about it. Not now. Later.”

He look at Melisa and than look at me.

“I understand. We will talk about this later Elisha.” He said in a hard tone.

He gets up and grabs his helmet. Melisa and I watch him as he got on his motorcycle and drove off.

“Who was the cutie?” Melisa says as we walk over to the door.

“Nobody and you sure do have a mouth for a little girl.” I said smiling

“Im thirteen years old! And I had have boyfriends before you know.”

“Yea but not someone way over your age.” I said rolling my eyes.

I turned off the light and push Melisa out the door. We got in the car and started drive home.

I hoped out the shower and looked in my guest room for Melisa. She was sound asleep. Before I got in the shower I brushed her hair and she got changed into her pajamas. Melisa hair is blonde like Katie but its more of a dirty blonde. She put some highlights in it too. Some pink and green strips of highlights. He mother went crazy on her because they were permitly there and not the wash out kind. I laugh at the thought and closed the door then tiptoed down the stairs. I went into the kitchen made a strawberry shake and went into the living room to watch some TV. I always do this on my “me time” days.

And I put on my favorite pajamas outfit. I have on some short black shorts and my pink shirt that falls over my shoulder and shows my belly. I turn on the TV and there’s a movie on called “my vampire love”. As I watch it I start to think about Quinn.

“These movies are horrible. I hate them. I don’t know how you can watch these there so fake.” A voice says from behind me.

I jumped up and turned around which made me almost spill my shake. I run over to the light switch and turned it on. I see Quinn standing in the middle of my living room.

“What are you doing here?”

He didn’t speak instead he looked me up and down.

“Nice outfit.” He says smiling and then jumping on the couch.

He almost made me blush. Almost.

“What are you doing here? How did you get in?” I asked

“I think you already know that I mean you already know what I am right”

“You must leave now.” I said

“Well you said we can talk later. Its later and now we are talking.”

“Look I don’t have time for this.” I said hoping my voice didn’t shake.

Even though he’s the most beautiful creature on this earth I still didn’t trust him. I turned around and then in a second he was standing right in front of me.

“How did you do that?”

“Im a vampire remember” he said

“Get away from me.”

I try to run up the steps to get to Gillian but he grabs me and throws me on the couch. I look up at him and his eyes are pitch black. As black as night. They look like they could see deep into my soul. I guess I made him mad by doing that but right now I scared for my life!

“Don’t run!” he yells

Tears start to run down my face. I wasn’t sobbing but I was crying. He looked like that man in my dreams and now I think im going to die. I shouldn’t have trusted Quinn. Of course he was lying. How could I’ve been so stupid?! He looks almost just like him. That man is the only person im scared of. He had them pitch black eyes that he had. The eyes I see every night before I go to sleep.

As soon as he notices the tears coming down my face his face got soft and sweet again. Then it turned into an expression like he was ashamed of himself. His eyes turned back into that beautiful brown and then he sat in the chair across from me. We sat there for a while until he started speaking again.

“Im sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you like that it’s just that I have a short temper.”

I didn’t speak. He got up grabbed a tissue from the glass table and handed it to me. I took it and wiped my face while he took a seat next to me. He paused like he was about to say something that he shouldn’t and then he said something else instead.

“Im sorry Elisha I didn’t mean to make you cry and now……and now you’re scared of me. Im so stupid. I don know how to control my anger. They should have sent somebody else to watch over you.”

He put his head back on the couch and closes his eyes. I don’t know why but I felt sorry for him. It’s like I know him. I know he knew me my whole life but I just met this guy and it feels like I know so much about him. I wanted for him to hold me. I wanted for him to lean into me. But instead of that I just grab his hand and the electric shock went between us again. But this time it felt so good that I didn’t want to let go. I wanted more of him but I didn’t want to take it that far. Especially with somebody I just met. I could tell that he felt the same way and was thinking the same thing because he lift his head up slowly and open his eyes to look into mines. We stayed like that for what felt like forever but then I could here Gillian come down the steps. I broke our gaze and let go of his hand and it hurt my heart by doing it. I didn’t want to let go of
