I couldn't wait to see Zoey. I missed her like hell and Gemma was starting to annoy me. She kept on talking about how I shouldn't be with Zoey. Of course I tuned her out a long time ago. I stared at James. "You wanted to talk to me about something?"

"Yeah. Dem, those people that are after Zoey and the vampires, they're more than just lycans. They have witches, Fae, and vampires with them. Three vampires, two witches and one Fae. I told Zoey there was another vampire taken, but it was just more than one. They wiped out a whole clan," James ran his hands through his hair.

Rose glared at James. "So you lied to Zoey? She can tell if you're lying."

"I am a vampire too you know," James snapped at Rose. "I told her a half-truth."

"Hmm. Where is she anyway?" Rose asked.

"Outside with Gemma," I said.

James and Rose both gave me the 'are-you-stupid?' look. "What?" I asked.

"They're going to kill each other," Rose said.

James nodded. "You're screwed."

I got up and looked out the window. Zoey was glaring at something while Gemma was whispering in her ear. Zoey closed her eyes. When she opened them, they were watery. She mumbled something and walked away. Gemma smirked and walked off to another direction. I turned to James. "I gotta go."

"Good luck."

Rose snorted.

I ran outside and wondered where Zoey could have  gone. I sniffed the air and smelled vanilla. I follwed the smell to her room. Ridley was standing in front of her door. "Zoey Rogue! If you don't fucking let me in, I'm going to burn your room and you know you're flammable!"

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Bitch grabbed like, all the blood bags and walked in there. She was crying though. And her face was all vamped up. I doubt you want to see that. We look scary when we look like that."

I shrugged. "Why don't I just break the door down?"

Ridley shook her head. "She'll just keep you out."

"How?"

"You're a freaking idiot. You're a werewolf! Werewolves and vampires don't mix. What do you think will happen?" Ridley walked away.

I nodded. "Alright." I turned the knob on the door. It was locked. "Babe, can I come in?"

"No! I look terrible!" Zoey yelled hoarsely.

I walked in anyway. My eyes grew wide. I've never seen a vampire feed except Zoey, but this, this was crazy. Bags were thrown everywhere and blood was all over Zoey's face. She glared up and me and smiled devilishly. "This is what happens when vampires turn off their humanity," She sauntered over to me, "And you want this? Unbelieveable."

I grabbed Zoey's forearms. "Yes I want you and only you," I stroked her hair and brought her to her messy bed.

Zoey shook her head. She was still vamped out, but I was trying to ignore it. "No. You can't. You'll lose everything. The pack will turn their backs on you. It won't be worth it to be with me. You'll hate me after. The Elders will exile you. You'll be lonely."

My eyes grew wide. She sounded just like the Elders and Gemma. "What? You sound like the werewolves."

"But its true."

"No. Its not. Ignore Gemma." I stroked her hair. I walked over to her bathroom and grabbed a washcloth. I wet it and walked back to her. She was staring at the floor. At all the empty blood bags. I cupped her chin and I started to wipe her face clean. There was so much blood. I finally wiped the sticky substance from her face and hands. "There."

Zoey gave me a watery smile. She hugged me tightly. "You're so sweet to me."

"Of course," I stroked her hair, "Lets pick up the blood bags."

She nodded and picked them up. I took them and threw them into the garbage can. Zo came over to me. She wrapped her arms around my waist and nuzzled her face in my chest. I refrained myself from purring. I remember when I first started. I was fourteen and I thought that the purring was a little feminine. I haven't had physical contact from Zo for two weeks. "I'm sorry," She whispered.

"Don't be. I'm sure this happens to every vampire."

"It does and that's why I'm sorry." Zoey pulled away from me. Her voice was cold, hard. And it took on a serious tone.

Rose walked in Zo's room. "Hey Zo, I was wondering if you would like to join the SFST. We need you and Dem if y'all want to join. There's going to be a meeting in my office in two hours."

Zoey nodded. "Alright. I'm in."

Rose smiled. "Meet me in my office then."

I saw the black veins around Zoey's forehead. "Babe. You need to feed."

Zoey sighed. "I'm fine."

"No you're not."

"Really I am."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed her forearms. I plopped her on the bed. "Alright come on."

Zo turned her head. "No."

I sat next to her and exposed my neck. Zoey stared at my neck. I saw her eyes changing. They turned black and red. It was a little creepy, but I'll never admit it. Black veins surrounded her eyes and her long fangs slipped out. I braced myself.

She lunged for my neck and her fangs sank in the spot between my shoulder and neck. I grabbed her hips and closed my eyes. That's when I felt the pull. Zoey bit down harder and her hands slipped under my shirt. They were roaming my torso and they stopped right on my belt. Zoey pulled away from feeding. Her fangs and teeth were coated with my blood. "Thanks." She started to unbuckle my belt.

"Zoey. Zoey," I said.

She ignored me and she shoved her hand down my pants. Her eyes grew wide. "Damn. You're big."

"Zoey!"

She raised her head. "Yes?"

Zoey was acting really weird. And it was creeping me out. I took a deep breath. "Did you let your bloodlust control you?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Then you're not going to take this as offensive," I grabbed her neck and snapped it. She collasped in a stupor. She was alive, but asleep. I picked her up gently.
