I woke up in a pitch black room. I could barely lift my head up to take in my surroundings. I heard someone get up from a chair. Whoever it was walked over to me.

"Kayla, go back to sleep."I heard Trevor state.

"Trevor, I can't see anything turn on the light." I said and he sighed. He turned a lamp on that was next to the bed and I gasped at the sight in front of me. Trevor was beaten badly, his face was swollen in some places. He looked down at the bed sheets in sorrow. "What happened?" I asked. I placed my hand on his face to see how bad it was.

"Kaleb, he got some of his goons to gang up on me for trying to help you." He explained as I got up and walked to the bathroom. I looked around trying to find something that would have helped with Trevor's swelling. I walked out of the bathroom with a first aid kit. I sat in front of Trevor and started to dress his wounds. "I'm so sorry I wasn't able to protect you Kayla."

"Don't worry about it. This is not your fault, its Kaleb's." I stated and Trevor shook his head.

"No, its not his fault." Trevor replied and I tilted my head in confusion. "Kaleb has split personality. He is good most of the, but then his crazy personality gets let out. He loves you, he considers you his sister. When he figures out what happened, he is going to beat himself up over it." Trevor explained.

"I want to go home." I said out of the blue. Trevor looked up at me shocked.

"You don't want to be here with me anymore. Kayla, I've lost my mate please dont make me lose the person I need to protect for the rest of my life." He pleaded and I shook my head.

"I'm not going to do that." I promised him and thought. "Come with me!" I exclaimed.

"What?" He asked shocked.

"Come with me, to the vampire kingdom." I replied. He sat there thinking it over in his head. He looked as if he was having an inner battle with himself. He got up off the bed, he walked over to the other side of the room. "Please Trevor, I can't stay here another minute with Kaleb. I'm terrified of him and I don't want you to get hurt again."

"Okay, since I'm meant to protect you I need to do as you wish. Especially when you are scared of a person." He stated. I smiled and tried to get up, but I couldn't move.

"Trevor, I can't get up." I said and he sighed.

"I know, Kaleb's split personality really did a number on you." He replied. "I'll have to carry you when we leave."

"When are we living?" I asked and he thought it over.

"Tomorrow night, I will wake you up when everyone is asleep." He answered. I nodded trying very hard to contain my excitement. "Now, can you get back to sleep?" He asked. I shook my head while wincing at the pain I was feeling. "Are you hungry?" He asked.

"Yeah." I replied and he nodded. He picked me up, walked over to the door, and went downstairs to the kitchen. He set me down in a stool then walked over to the fridge. He opened it up looking for something that he could make for me. He pulled out the stuff needed to make a turkey sandwich. He started making it while asking me if I wanted anything on it. I answered him and he nodded. He walked over to the pantry and disappeared in it. He came back out with some nacho cheese, he set the plate down in front of me and put some Doritos on the plate.

"Thank you." I said. He smiled while walking back to clean up after himself. "So you're a demon right?" I asked. He nodded while keeping a focus on his cleaning. "How old are you?" He chuckled at my question.

"Older than you think." He stated. I looked at him weirdly. "I'm about three hundred years old."

"Wow, can I ask you another question that might make you upset." I questioned him.

"Depends on what the question is." He replied and looked back to the area he was cleaning up.

"Its about your mate." I said. He froze and looked up at me with pain in his eyes. "Never mind it will upset you too much." I muttered and started to eat my sandwich. I looked down at the plate as I ate. (Accidental Rhyme)

"No, you can ask." He stated.

"How long has it been since your mate rejected you?" I asked.

"Its been fifty years. She is sixty eight now, she is also married and has three kids." He replied looking sad.

"I have one more question. It isn't about your mate though." I told him. He chuckled and nodded for me to proceed. "Did you ever save a young girl from a car accident?" He got a serious look on his face. Trevor shook his head while turning away from me.

"No." He whispered. I dropped the conversation at that. I knew that it wouldn't be smart to press him into talking. I finished my sandwich and Trevor took it. He put it in the sink for the maids to wash. He walked over to me to pick me up out of the chair. He carried me up the stairs to the room. I was really embarrassed that he had to do it. "Kayla, are you alright?" He questioned me.

"I'm embarrassed that you have to carry me back and forth." I explained and he laughed.

"Don't worry about it Kayla. Its in the job description." He replied and I nodded. He took me to the room, as he opened the door I noticed someone in the room. It was Kaleb, I became scared and hid my face in Trevor's chest. "What do you want Kaleb?" Trevor asked.

"I've come to give Kayla a second chance to accept my apology." Kaleb answered.

"Not after what you've done to me. You've hurt me twice now." I stated and Kaleb got a dark look on his face. He gestured his head and two of his goons grabbed a hold of Trevor. I was dropped on the floor. I cried out in pain as Kaleb pulled me to my feet by my hair. "Put me down." I gritted out. He dropped me on the floor and kicked me once in the stomach. He walked over to Trevor with a dark look on his face.

"If she doesn't forgive me in the next three days she will die." He whispered threateningly. Him and his goons left, Trevor rushed over to me and apologized over again.

"Trevor, we need to leave soon." I stated.
