After chloe helped me fill the Mini Fridge with the Blood Bags she went downstairs to get herself breakfast, however she had been down there for quite some time so I decided to use my new senses and heard her crying. Without hesitation I went downstairs and made my way to her as she sat at the small table in the kitchen, managing to avoid the sunlight I softly put my Right hand on her left shoulder.

"Chloe, are you ok?"

I asked in a soft and comforting tone as she looked at me putting her Cell Phone down she buried her face against my stomach as she cried, wrapping my arms around her I knelt down so her head was on my shoulder.

"May I ask what has made you so upset?"

I asked in a quiet and comforting tone as I gently rubbed her back sensing her sadness, with this she pulled away taking deep breaths as she wiped her eyes. However not trusting her words she slid her Cellphone across the table to me, a conversation between her and others I did not know; making fun of her for being Transgender. Not knowing what the word meant I looked at her curiously.

"I-I wasn't born Chloe...I-I have..I have boy parts."

She stuttered out between her tears and gasps of air, piecing it together in my mind I looked her in the eyes.

"It does not matter what you may have, you know in your heart you are female. No matter what you may have, you are still Chloe."

I said reassuringly in a comforting tone causing her to look at me with confusion.

"D-Do you really m-mean that?"

She stuttered out with hope in her words to which I nodded.

"Yes I do Chloe, I may have been born long before your time. But I still have respect for someone wanting to be their true selves, besides if you can accept me for what I have become. Then I can easily accept you for who you are."

I said with reassurance and sincerely in my words causing her to stare for a moment, however to my surprise she did not hug me or thank me for what I'd said instead she kissed me. After realizing what she had done she blushed brightly before hiding her face in her hands.

"I-I I'm so sorry, I-I don't know why I.."

She said embarrassed and ashamed of what she'd done as I looked at her as I processed both what she'd done and said, after a moment I looked her in the eyes.

"Tell me this Chloe, do you truly feel this way toward me. Or is it something else?"

I asked in a calm and comforting tone not saying another word as I awaited her response, after a moment she lowered her hands from her face still blushing as she looked at me.

"From when we first brought you in I felt something when I was around you, being close to you makes me happy....i-it makes me want me to be with you..I-I..."

She trailed off before looking down at her lap out of embarrassment unable to say the rest, however I knew what she was going to say as I felt the same way.

"You need not say Chloe, as I have felt the same as well. Though I only took acknowledgment of these feelings this morning as I laid beside you, I can sense from you what I feel as well."

I said with sincerity and comfort in my words keeping my gaze on her watching her reaction as she looked me in the eyes with what I believe to be love.

"D-Do you really?"

She said with a hopeful tone as she began to tear up again however this time I could sense it was happiness not sadness, nodding my head I smiled at her.

"You have my word, when with you I have a feeling of something I know not how to explain though I know I do not wish for that feeling to leave me."

I said with truth in my words in a soft tone causing her to look at me with a smile filled with joy.

"However, I must ask. Is this truly what you want? Knowing what I am. I must also wonder if your father would approve of it."

I said with curiosity and comfort as I watched her think for a moment.

"I don't know if he would or not, but I do know that I don't care if you're a Vampire. I-I want to be with you!"

She said with confidence and sincerity in her words and expression with a beautiful smile, to this I smiled happily before seeing her expression change to that of fear as she looked down at her lap.

"B-But wouldn't you rather be with someone else, w-with a r-real-"

She started before I cut her off by turning her towards me and kissing her causing her to blush a beautiful shade of red as she wrapped her arms over my shoulders, after a moment I pulled away softly looking in her eyes as her arms were still wrapped over my shoulders.

"You are a real girl Chloe, and I do not want anyone else."

I said in a loving and sincere tone as I wiped her eyes with my thumbs causing her to smile lovingly and happily as she pulled herself to me hugging me tightly, sensing the sunlight getting closer I stood up holding her to me as I looked to the floor seeing the sunlight was close to me I made my way up to her room as I continued to carry her.
After getting back to her room I closed the door behind me and gently put her down looking at her blushing face with a smile, before I had the chance to speak Chloe stood on her toes wrapping her arms over my shoulders and kissed me once more.
