sighed, before reaching down his hand."Want me to take you home?"

I took his hand and tilted my head."Do you not realize how far Rosewell is from here?"

He shook his head and I walked forward yawning."Then you my friend are very stupid..and I'm extremely tired."

He nodded again and looked at his watch. He looked up again and walked into the office where the trouble began. He rested his hand down on the desk, where the stone was sitting then turned his attention to me.

"You didn't see the object that was resting here did you?" I looked down at my pocket and shook my head quickly.

"Nope never seen it before." I lied.

Chapter 4

After the strange moment of silence entered the room, I walked back to the door and leaned against it.I had become strangily aware of his disapproving glares.I slammed my head against the door before letting out a giant sigh.Suddenly he spoke up breaking the silence.

"Hey Kali..Why do you like vampires so much?"

I looked at him and shrugged." I find them extremely hot and I've always loved them, since I was little."

He stepped closer and a small grin played across his pale lips." And what if you ever met one?"

I thought about it for a while before responding. "I'd let him bite me."

He nodded before dropping the subject.I looked up again and thought back to when I first met him.When he first smiled he had sharp teeth..Wait!

"Hey you there with weird hair.Whats your name!" I said now standing up straight, hand on hip pointing at him.

He tilted his head back and glanced at me sideways, before running his hand through his hair." To be honest..I can't remember..but they call me Elliot."

I nodded taking in the statement and brushed my own hair back."And Elliot..might you be...Are you...A vampire?" I asked

For a while, silence occupied the room as he starred at me and I at him.Soon I looked away and shrugged before glancing at him when he spoke up again.

"And why do you say that?" He asked moving closer to me.

I gazed up at his lips as he spoke, starring at his fangs."The teeth.."

Soon he stood infront of me, hands on eithier side of my head as I was against the door.

"And if I was ?" He asked. "I ...I don't know.I'm just curious is all."

"Well I am so there."He said. I starred at him and he leaned closer  baring his fangs ." W..What are you doing:" I whispered.

"You tell me." Was all he said before he tapped the tip of his fangs against my neck.

Suddenly I felt the sharpness enter my neck as I starred off into the lamp on the desk.My eyes grew blurry as he held his grip on me.I felt my head spinning, my heart pounding , and my eyes widdening.Soon all I could see was black, and  I felt my body slide down against the door.

(Elliot's Pov)

After a while of intence sucking, I felt her blood level dimming.Soon I pulled back, her blood dripping down the side of my lip.I released her shoulders and watched her fall to the ground lifeless. I became fully aware that for the first time in a while, I craved human blood more than anything.I starred down at her emotionless, before droping to my knees and lifting her head onto my lap.I cradled her head for abit until her eyes fluttered open.When she woke up she loooked up at me for a few moments before pushiing me away and crawling to the other side of the room.She shivered and pulled her knees into her chest hugging them tightly.

(Kali's Pov)

I stared blankidly at him as I groaned covering the spot he drank from.I panted softly as my face was brightly red. I backed away everytime he moved closer. He huffed as he crawled closer to me, his breathe intencifing with her move or strain his muscles made. I stared at him and laid my head against the wall.

"S-stay away!" I spat and growled. "Do you reall want me to?" He asked with a teasing smirk that made my bones ache and shiver from excitment.

~I looked down at the floor considering the question. Did I? I mean i really think so..but my body disagrees. Its craving his bite now..but I won't give in. ~

Just as I opened my mouth to answer, the door rattled on it's hinges and I shot up and twriled round to the bookshelf. Heavy footsteps pounded the tile floor as the person entered. Elliot shot up and stared at the person walking through. I preassed my back against the bookshelf, silencing my breathe as I struggled t listen.

"Oh sir you've returned?" Asked Elliot nodding toward the man.

"Oh I won't be long, I forgot some papers on my desk. Just give me a second to search through them would you?" The man's voice seemed familar yet I couldn't place it.

"Of course sir. Take your time." Said Elliot before leaving me in the room alone.

I heard the stranger rustling papers, and shifting his weight against the desk. I made a silent cry for help, as the dizziness from ealier followed me back. i touched my neck where the bite had been placed and gave a silent whimper as dry blood stabed my finger.

After what felt like enternity, the stranger groaned and threw the scattered papers on the ground before leaving the room in a fit a rage.I stayed where I was until i was sure he was gone, and peeked out from behind the book case. I sighed, releasing a breathe I had no idea I was even holding. 

~Time to find Elliot~ I thought sourly and headed into the hallway. It was empty and silent, even eerie. 

~Something's wrong~ i thought neverously and looked around slowly taking in my surroundings.

I felt a cold hand press into my back as I made a turn. I shivvered and turned aburtly, hitting the culprit in the nose. He grabbed my hands and snarled against my ear. 

"Will you stop moving!" Half whisper a superly-pissed Elliot.
