I met her. She hadn't shown up yet. This time the air was cold and stiff. I walked with the usual confidence I carried.

Two suspicious characters followed me. I could sense their presence. They smelled of garlic. I hate garlic. Quickly, I sped off in search of her scent. I finally found her near a lake. She looked up surprised.

"I'm glad you met me here", she says with hesitation.

"We were arranged to meet where we met yesterday", I was confused a little.

"We're being followed", she says looking into the water.

"Don't you think I know that?" I was getting annoyed.

The trees nearby shaked fiercely. I quickly pulled her into my arms. She ended up on my back and I ran through the streets until I reached my house.

Ugh... I didn't even get to "eat". I slammed the door obnoxiously. She jumps in fear. It kind of triggers some of the same emotions I had with my other victims.

"Are we safe?" She trembles searching the room.

"Yess", I say confidently.

That night we discussed a lot. Oh and if you want to know her name it is Fionna Richards. She knows almost everything about me now. As do I her. We've gotten close. Something I've never felt since I got bitten.

I let her sleep in my coffin. Its kind of the only place to sleep. I stay up. My stomach growled. I just had to go.

Outside, I am quick. I rush out into a nearby place. A woman is just sitting there. Alone.

I guess you know what that means. Yet another victim added to my list. I rush to her. Her smell doesn't really intrigue me but it'll do. I sit next to her. She seems fragile.

I just grab her viciously and stick my fangs into her neck. She yelps but no one hears her. Soon she lays like all my other victims. Dead.

I rush back home. I breathe a sigh of relief that I did not awake her. Fionna that is. I sat at my table and gazed at her for the rest of the night.

The first signs of daylight is when I woke her up. I didn't want to die. Not today at least.

There was only a little space and she seemed really out of it. I picked her up and positioned myself in the coffin. She was peaceful so I just let her lay near me in the far corner of the coffin. I close it just in time. The sunshine was about to burst into the room.

Let's just see what happens tonight. ;-)
