Brooke Pov
I woke up in a dark room, somewhat cold and hungry. I looked down at myself to realize I was in Marko's bed and his shirt with no pants on. My shoes sat beside the bedside with my clothes; for some reason, my mind was burly; how did I get here?

I called out for Marko. "MARKO!" my voice echoed through the cave. Sitting there for a minute, footsteps came close. Marko entered and approached the bed. His jacket wasn't on him as it usually is. "You ok, Brookie?" He whispered when he came close enough.

I hugged him and pulled him down. I cried from fear like a nightmare, and everything was after me. His cold leather hands placed themselves on me, one on the back as my head smoothing out my messing curls. My head lightly rested on his shoulder as his other one rubbed my back, soothing my quiet cries.

I felt comfort and safety when he touched me; I clasped him tightly as if I were letting him go, slowly disappearing between my fingertips. "Shhh, you ok, love? You're safe with me." He lightly whispered in my ear. Then I remember the chase game, The fear I felt last night towards him when he chased me down. I pushed him away and stood away. "No, get away from me. You tried to kill me last night. I can't believe I almost forgot about the shit you did. I was scared to death."

Marko looked at me and sat down; he placed his face in his hands. "Brookie, darling; that wasn't me-"

"Then who was it? Cause I'm sure, you tried to kill me." I cut him off.

Marko stood up. "Look, that was me, but I was different; that's what happens during a blood moon for us vampires. We feast on prey, then any victims around, we chase down and play a chase game with them. I couldn't think right; I couldn't get your scent from all the blood around. I was intoxicated." he explained.

I bit my lip and sat down on the bed; "I'm sorry, Marko, I'm just so scared and confused. I want to know what is wrong with me." I cried; Marko picked me up and placed me in bed again; "no, It's not your fault; it's mine; I scared you to death, and I don't deserve you. But sweetheart, you are a vampire; David wanted you to become one, or you would become the next meal." Marko confessed.

He lay down and covered me with his blankets as he tried to stand up; I grabbed his hand, stopping him. "Please don't leave me," I murmured, tears welling back from the fear approaching again.

He sighed and kicked his boots; he climbed in, and lay next to me, "You okay, Brookie?" He asked, wrapping his arms around me; my face hid in the crook of his neck, and I shook my head no. He kissed my head and shoulders, which brought comforted me. "Fall asleep, sweetheart; I will be here when you wake up." I shut my eyes and fell asleep, taking in his scent and calm breathing.
