"Spend what you wanna
Be who you wanna be
A young stunner (stunner)
'Til I D-I-E (Lord, help me)"
————————————————

I let out a groan, rolling over onto my stomach on my comfortable bed. Arms go around me, pulling me further into it.

Wait, arms. My bed doesn't have arms.

My eyes fly open, and I see a sideways view of my coffee table. This is not my bed.

I lift my head up so fast I'm surprised my neck didn't snap right then and there. I look up and see Kieran's face staring back down at me. I turn my head behind me and see my legs on Jaxon's lap.

I immediately pull my body off of theirs, sitting up normally in between them again.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep, you know, on top of you guys." I rush out.

"Love, you can fall asleep on top of us anytime you want." Jaxon says.

"Yeah. Next time, fall asleep on top of me instead, will ya?" Elijah calls out next to him. Oh, he's awake now.

I stand up, walking to my bathroom. "Yeah okay, next time just push me so I roll over onto the floor."

I shut the door, hearing a slight chuckle behind me.

I do my morning routine and then get dressed. I put on a pretty purple long sleeve sweater and a skirt. I have no plans for today, but for some reason I want to impress the guys in my apartment. That's the reason why I put on some concealer to cover up my dark circles. Perfect.

I decide I'm going to check on Jax's stitches. It hasn't been a week yet, but sometimes wounds heal faster. I swing open the door to my room, walking over to my desk and grabbing my suture kit.

I walk back out to the living room and set the materials on the coffee table, before looking up and seeing the three of them staring at me expectantly.

"You know, you guys can turn on the TV or something. You don't have to sit there in silence. Would you like coffee?" Kieran nods at me.

"Would love some." Jaxon says.

"Only if you spit in mine." Elijah says. I burst out laughing.

I turn and go to the kitchen, hearing the TV turn on in the living room behind me. I put on the coffee pot, waiting a few minutes for it to be ready. I pour some in three mugs, but when I go to grab the fourth one for me, it slips out of my hands and shatters on the floor. Crap. It was a pretty mug too.

"Everything okay?" I hear Elijah ask, still in the living room.

"Yeah. I just dropped a mug." I call back.

I bend down and start picking up the sharp pieces of the mug, but I grab one wrong and it makes a cut down my left palm. Double crap.

Then I remember the coffee I already poured out for them. It'll get cold if I don't bring it to them now. I can clean my cut after I take it to them. So, I dangerously balance two mugs in my right hand and one in my wounded left hand. I walk over to the living room and place the mugs down on the table.

When I look up, they're all staring at me with red eyes. Not like the whites of their eyes were red, no the area around their pupil, the iris, was red. I step back, scared. What's wrong with them?

"You're b-bleeding." Jaxon's voice comes out strained.

Concerned, I take a step forward, "Yeah, I cut myself- Are you okay? Your eyes are red."

I reach out to touch Elijah's face. He grabs my wrist suddenly, before I could touch him. His eyes fall down to my bloody hand, eyes still red. He takes his thumb and rubs some of my blood with it. Then he lets go, my hand falling back to my side and drops of blood falling onto the floor.

He brings his hand up and looks at my blood coating his thumb closely. Then, he does something unexpected, weird even. Extremely weird. He brings his finger up to his mouth, sucking my blood off of it.

"Elijah." Jaxon says in a warning tone. I'm horrified. Why would he do that?

"What the heck." I think out loud. "You're not supposed to drink other people's blood you know. You could get a disease. Why did you do that?"

He looks at my hand, about to grab it again but I step back, turn around and go into the bathroom. What the heck. What the heck. What the heck.

I clean the cut while I'm in the bathroom, effectively stopping the bleeding. Why were their eyes red like that? He looked almost hungry, all of them did. I want answers.

I make my way to the living room again and I see the drops of blood on the floor have been cleaned up and they're back to normal, sitting on the couch, eyes no longer red.

"What the heck was that? Why were your eyes red?" I said, extremely distressed.

"Sit down. We'll explain." Heck yeah they're gonna explain. I sit down on the couch, next to Jaxon.

He grabs my both of my hands, "There's no easy way to say this." Just say it. "We're vampires, Noa. "

Are you freaking kidding me right now? I have to laugh, so I do. When I finally stop I say, "Okay, thanks for trying to cheer me up, but answer the question for real now."

"Noa, We're vampires." Kieran says this time.

"Okay, stop. It's not funny anymore." I want to know the truth.

"It's not a joke. We're vampires. Our eyes can turn red when we're around blood, among other reasons." My hands slip out of Jaxon's at Elijah's words. I stand up, and start pacing the living room.

Vampires. Oh my God. Are they going to suck my blood until I die? Oh my gosh. I'm freaking out. Wait, how do I know they're not lying? They don't even have the teeth. I stop and look at the three of them from a distance.

"So where are the.. you know" I make two hook shapes with my fingers and put them in front of my mouth. What are those things called again? Elijah laughs.

"We can make the fangs come out and we can also hide them." Jaxon explains.

I step towards him until I'm in front of him, almost in between his legs where he's sitting. "Make them come out."

"Are you sure? I don't want you to freak out." He checks.

"I'm already freaking out. Do it."

He places his hand on the back of my thigh. He rubs up and down soothingly and then I see his fangs come out slowly. I grip his face, tilting his head back and bending down slightly so I could see better. I wonder if they're sharp. They look sharp.

I place my finger on the tip of his fang, answering my own question. I look down at my index finger and see a drop of blood on it. I guess it is then. I look back up at him to see his eyes red and trained on the drop of blood.

"Do you wanna- I mean, I see you looking at it-"

"Can I?" I nod. He grabs my hand and puts my finger in his mouth, sucking gently. This is hot. Wow.

I sit down in between him and Elijah before saying, "So, vampires huh?"
