He nodded when he saw me… he is my dad’s friend the chief of police.”What did you see Miss. Swan?” he asked all duty like. I couldn’t tell my theory about the murderer; he would just laugh at me and think I have gone mad with stress. “Mike killed Lana…” I said in a barely audible voice. “Did you see how he killed her…?”He asked. “No…I just walked in to see him with blood covered face and as soon as he saw me, he ran away leaving Lana’s body here…” I said. He nodded.

“We’ll catch the culprit but I suggest you to be careful, he might attack you too since you were there at the scene of crime…”he said. That sent shivers across my spine… Will he kill me too? How could I stop him…?

Max dropped me at home and promised to come back soon. I panicked to be all alone in the house. I locked every door and window. I checked them twice to make sure that they are all locked. As the clock ticked…My nerves began to fail me…I knocked at my dad’s room, he didn’t answer.

“Please…dad. I need to talk to you…Please…”I cried. He wouldn’t answer…10 minutes passed since Max left…I slumped on to the floor crying and hitting at the door repeatedly. “Leave me alone…I don’t want to see or talk to anyone…”came the hoarse voice of my dad. “Dad…Please…I’m scared…”I cried. There is no noise from inside. There is no way he was going to listen to me…”For god’s sake…open the door…”I cried.

“Shh…Why are you crying darling…?”A familiar voice breathed at my neck…my heart rate increased tremendously…I didn’t want to see him; if I did I’m sure going to die of heart attack.

“He won’t wake up…I knocked him unconscious after drinking from him…”he whispered grazing my neck. I trembled as his breath grazed my skin and sent chills. “You know how luscious you look…” he said grazing my neck. I shivered at his touch… “Max…please come soon…”my voice croaked as I prayed.

“He won’t come…he is afraid of me…” he said with vicious laugh. He leaned closer…I always wanted to taste those lips…he leaned forward… I hid my face sobbing…he raised my chin and crushed his lips over mine. He was so immersed in the pleasure; I hit him in ribs with my knees and ran away from him. He groaned as if that it didn’t hurt…but it sure broke my bones…

“Come on…honey…Are you playing hide and seek with me now…?”His voice was mean. I hid in the kitchen, under the table catching my breath. “Do you know vampires have great senses?” he laughed. He walked past over the table lazily and in one sudden swift movement his face was inches away from me. My heart stopped literally to see him that close all of a sudden.

He stretched his hands forward towards me…I moved to the corner end of the table trying to avoid him. “Liz...come on…enough of these games…” He stood up frustrated and lifted up the table and threw it aside.

“Please…don’t hurt me…I will take the complaint back…”I cried. “I won’t hurt you…Liz…I love you so much…”he said and his eyes were sincere. He picked me up from the floor and sat me on his laps… “I won’t hurt you Liz...you are my mate…” he said kissing me. His trail of kisses ended at my neck… He smelled as if he was an animal… my instincts told me to run away from him…I tried to get up but his hands didn’t let me go. He punctured my skin and pain shot through my system as he started to draw blood from me. I fell unconscious as I began to feel energy drain away from me.

I woke up screaming as I remembered what happened to me…Max was sitting by my side…I hugged him fiercely and cried. “He was here…He… bit…me…” I blabbered and unconsciously my hands grazed the skin of my neck where he bit me previously. I now remembered that he was doing this to me every night over and over all these days…How could I have forgotten such thing…Did he glamour me...? That bite brought memories of every night he spent here drinking my blood. After all Max was right…he was hurting me all the time by sweet talking to me. It awoke more fear in me. If he could this then what else could he do? I shivered at the thought.

“I won’t let him hurt you…” Max promised. I felt calm for a while but how could he protect me from something like it? He is a mere human. I can’t risk his life for mine which is forfeited to die in Mike’s hands…

“You don’t know who he is…We don’t stand a chance against him…” I cried. He wiped away my tears… “Whatever he is…he is not going to hurt you again…” he said. “Now…sleep.” He said.

I nodded; he cradled me in his arms. “Dad…Is he safe…?” I asked. “He just lost some blood…he will be okay by tomorrow… get some sleep now…”he said. “Will I be like him…? I mean he drank from me…Isn’t that supposed to be how they turn us into one of them…?” I mumbled. “He didn’t inject his venom into you…unless he does that you won’t turn…”he said. “How did you know…?” I asked. I didn’t wait to hear his answer as sleep consumed over me.

Early morning I woke up to the chaos in the house…I ran downstairs to see the chief talking to Max and his friends… Dad…? I ran into his room, I breathed a sigh of relief as I saw him breathing. Max saw me running to dad’s room and he walked to me.

“He’ll be fine. Don’t worry…”he said. “The chief agreed to send guards to your home…” he said. I nodded and leaned on to his shoulders…looking at my father.
He woke up and blabbered incoherently… but I understood what he was trying to tell. “It’s okay…Dad the chief is on his way to find the culprit…” I assured him. He hugged me. “Are you okay…my child…?” he asked eying me. “I’m fine…”I lied though I am absolutely not. Though Max assured me and police were guarding us…I highly doubt that they would prevent him.

Max stayed over at the night…chief sent three more men to guard us…My father stayed home and surprisingly he didn’t drink today, which was one good thing that came out of this…

“Liz…how could you betray me…? I loved you and you are going for that Max…” Mike shouted at me. I flinched at his voice… “Please…Liz… do not leave me… I won’t be able to live without you…”he cried clutching my hands to his face… I trembled at how his cold marble skin felt against my skin. “I love you…”he cried. I felt really sorry for him as he shattered into sobs before me. I tentatively reached up a hand towards him. He pulled me into a deep hug.

“Promise me that you won’t leave me…”he said. He kissed me passionately as his hands snaked over my waist pulling me closer. His mouth darted to my neck and he bit me one more time…The pain in my neck woke me up with a scream…Max startled at her scream…he ran towards her to see that her neck had two tiny puncture marks…He cursed himself for not thinking about this possibility. He cleaned the wound and asked me to change into some nice clothes while he talked to one of his friends…

I was damn sure that it was my dream but how did the puncture marks appeared on my neck…My mind swirled with all the questions and I fell on the floor unconscious…

My neck felt soar and I rubbed it with my hands and saw Max looking worried at me. “Does it hurt…?” he asked. “A little bit…”I lied. “Did he come again…?” I asked. “No…he was in your dream…” I frowned. “But the bite was real…?” I asked. “Yes…they could do such things…” he said. “Why didn’t he come back again then…?” I asked. “Dreams don’t come when you are unconscious…”he said. I didn’t understand but I nodded. “The dreams that occur at the REM stage…” I cut him off. “You are such a nerd…”I laughed.


I was surprised to see dad at breakfast table…he looked much alive and sober. “I’m sorry for not being there for you when you need me…”My dad mumbled. I smiled at him and squeezed his hands. “I promise I won’t be like that again…”he said.
