"Goodnight." I yelled as Terry walked to his room after a long shift. He waved as he passed my room, but didn't say anything. He shut and locked his door and I shut mine. I realized I was getting a little antsy. It was only 11:57. I sat down at the laptop and started search different music sessions. I found a blood on the dance floor interview with Brian Starz and put in the headphones. I lost track of time. I was almost through with the video when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. I jumped and started punching blindly. Once I realized who it was I stopped and looked at him. Dalton's eyebrow was arched and he had a slight smile. "Don't scare me like that." I said and threw one of my pillows at him.

"You weren't answering me and I didn't realize you had headphones in until the last moment."

"Oh...sorry."

"Well, you wanted an explanation?"

"Yes, what exactly is a mate?"

"A mate is...oh how do I put it? It's like imprinting, but for vampires."

"So, were suppose to be together forever?" I started to hyperventilate.

"No, no, no, well, yes. It's not like a lover it's like a friend. A forever friend." I slowed my breathing. "Yeah, it's like once you meet your mate you would do anything for her. It doesn't matter how dangerous or how demented. You'll do it."

"You sound like you've know the feeling for awhile."

"Well, I've felt it since we were three."

"So that's why you climbed the tree to get my Lego." I laughed. He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "But it still doesn't explain why I had to stay away from your brother or why you lied to him."

"My brother is what you call a siren. He's the male version, but a siren all the same. He can make you do anything he wants. Mostly he uses it for sex, but sometimes he uses it to spite me. He used it on you today, though. You acted like he was only flirting with you."

"No, he was only flirting."

"What was going through your mind when he had you under the steps?"

"You don't want to know."

"I have to, to understand."

"No."

"Tess, don't be stubborn."

"I was thinking of how much I hated the fact that his eyes were chocolate brown instead of ice blue." I looked him directly in the eye when I said it. He looked confused until he had a moment of clarity, when he realized what color his eyes were, then his face went back to confused. I had though about how I felt about Dalton while waiting on Terry to go to bed and I decided. I stood up and walked over to him. "For someone so smart, you are a real idiot." When our lips touched I almost yanked away because of the spark, but I didn't because I felt his lips slowly start to move with mine. It felt unreal. Like two pieces of a puzzle finally fitting together to create a beautiful picture. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he grabbed my hips. When I pulled away we were both breathing hard. "What was that for?" He asked.

"Don't question it. Just go with the flow." I saw him roll his eyes and I pushed him. "You should get home. Evan will get suspicious."

"Your right, but, after that, I don't want to leave." He sat down beside me.

"Do you remember my sixth birthday party?"

"Yes, I got you a small locket." I stood up and headed to the desk. I was glad that half of my things were here because my dad or else I would've never found it. I reached in and pulled out the small silver heart and chain. "I can't believe you still have it?"

"Where'd you get it?"

"It was my great-grandmothers."

"Then what am I doing with it?"

"My mother knew you were my mate. It was her idea to give it to you."

"Well, in that case, I'll wear it." I unclipped the back of it and put it around my neck. "Until the day I die." He bit the side of his mouth and looked at the ground. I could tell he didn't want me to say it. "What do you expect? I can't live forever."

"You can if..."

"No. I don't want that."

"I know. Nobody does. Just don't talk about it, alright?"

"I won't, but get going before Evan..."

"I know."

"I'll be in for work tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is Sunday."

"Then I'll be in as a friend tomorrow."

"I'd like that, but bring a bathing suit." I smiled and watched him jump from the window and wave bye. That night I went to sleep and had not one nightmare.
