Chapter 11

I glanced at the clock. It was 2am. The house stood so still you could hear a pin drop. My bedroom was on the second floor with the other vampires of the society, with the exception of Rheynold. Will showed me the entrance to his bedroom during the tour but of course we never went in. The top floor was where the vampires stored a lot of possessions. The cellar was in two parts. The East Wing contained a wine store, whilst the West Wing was the home of the servants. They slept in appaling conditions compared to us. We had fully black carpeted rooms with blood red wallpaper, a double bed decorated with many cushions and dark, wooden furniture. As I lay there with no intention of sleeping I remembered when I first awoke here. I arrived at the hoise just over twelve hours ago and I already feel at home. I feel like I have a true family here. Tears built up in my eyes at the thought of my parents and 'friends'. I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts of them. Rory meant more to me than anyone did before, as did Will. He was the best friend I never had for the past 3 years. I turned on the bedside lamp and lay still, deep in thought. I heard what I thought was a car pull up. I got up off the double bed, kicking the cushions in every direction as I approached the window at the far end of the room. I watched the headlights dim and then extinguish, followed by a single body leaving the car. It entered the house and out of site. Was it Rory? I sat back on the bed waiting to see if Rory would come and visit me in my room. I was sat in my nightdress, a silky material gently sitting on my body. Footsteps came into earshot and a small creak of the door attracted my attention. Rory stared back at me, he was panting and paler than ever. His hair appeared scruffier than when he left, making him look all the more sexy.

"What are you still doing up?" he asked as he entered the room.

"Couldn't sleep," I responded. I really just wanted to see Rory again. Ever since he brought me here, caring about my welfare I fell for him. I moved myself on the bed and patted the sheets, signalling him to sit next to me. He sat down and began stroking my hair. His hand was ice cold, probably because he had been outside.

"why can't you sleep, miss me too much?" he joked. If only he knew it was true. I took his other hand and squeezed it tightly.

"Everything is just..." i began, follwed by a long sigh, "I'm still adjusting. It's all so knew to me. I just need time to adjust". I let go of his hand and looked sheepishly at the floor. Rory stopped stroking my hair and placed his hand on my cheek.

"It's just... Last night I was lying in a hospital bed not knowing whether I would see you again, end up in Psychiatric or worse. My future was uncertain, but now it all makes sense," i explained. "I know where I belong," i finshed.

"And where's that?" Rory asked. He was gazing deep into my eyes. I looked back into his and practically melted. His eyes were the iciest blue, like water rippling in a gentle breeze.

"With you," I responded. He smiled at me softly and leant into me. Butterflies made me feel queasy but I was so lost in the moment it couldn't bother me. His lips softly tickled mine. This is it. What I'd waited for all my life. I groaned as he began to kiss me harder, my heartbeat becoming more frantic every second. He slowly pulled away and stoked my right cheek.

"I'd better let you get your beauty sleep," he whispered. He stood up off the bed, leaning in for one last kiss before leaving the room.

"I love you," he uttered as he closed the door. My heart was now pounding in my chest. How was I going to get to sleep now? I leant over to tbe lamp and extinguished the light. I climbed clumsily into bed. I missed him already. What was harder was knowing he was a few doors away probably half naked by now. I missed his body next to mine. His cold skin had no effect on me, the warmth I now had from my feelings meant all the more. I closed my eyes thinking about our embrace and fell asleep.
