     "My dear, please, come back" I heard a voice say.

     

     I looked up and it was Vlad, he looked like he was filled with guilt. But for what..? I smiled at him "Can I just sit here?" I asked, putting my head back on my knees.

     "May I at least join you?" He said standing right beside me. I nodded my head. He sat next to me, surely looking at me, wondering what he could do to help me. He wrapped his arm around me after a few minutes of sitting there. I quickly put my head to his chest and hugged him. He was so  comfortable. Somehow soft. I took a breath in and cleared my head. I thought way too much...

     "Vlad?" I said, not lifting my head up from his chest.

     "Hm?" I could feel him looking down at me.

     "Why me?" I asked, making me cry a little.

     He didn't speak for many seconds, then did "When I saw you at that party, I was amazed, you were breathtaking. I knew once I laid eyes on you, that you were the one. That you were my mate. I've been trying to find my mate for over four hundred years, and I couldn't stand any of them, I let most of them go. When you were talking me off, then I knew for sure. None of other girls would do that, they would be scared of me, but you, you weren't." He told me.

     "What are the list of girls names on your computer, why were some red and crossed off?" I asked him.

     "They only that were red and crossed off, are gone. The ones that are not, means they are maids, or slaves. Your name is on there because you're still with me" He smiled when he spoke the last few words.

     "When you say 'gone', you mean dead, right?" I questioned him.

     "Yes.." He sighed. He didn't like killing them. But why? It was in his nature to kill.

     "Are you going to kill me?" I looked him in the eyes sadly. 

     "What do you mean by kill?" He spoke. I thought a second, how do I say it different..? "I knew what you meant. I do not wish to kill you, I mean, I won't. But I will want to turn you if you are surely my mate. But, if you wish for me not to, then I'll try not to. I don't want to push you into anything you don't want to" How did he know every right thing to say? I mean really!

     "Mary, is she your sister?" I asked, not really wanting to change the subject, just wanting to know more about him.

     "Yeah, she's a few years younger than I am in human and vampire years" He told me. "Lets go upstairs" He said helping me up. 

We got to the stairwell, I looked away from Vlad and could see his mother and father standing in the hallway just looking at me. I looked back at the stairwell and Abby was rushing down the stairs 

     "Hello princess" said said walking slower past me, bowing, then rushing off. This was going to take me awhile to get use to...

     When we got back to the bedroom, the same room that I had woken up, Vlad led me to the bed, where I was greeted my new sheets. Abby must have changed them and the gun was no longer on the floor, she must have also put that away. I crawled into the bed being followed by Vlad. I cuddled up to his chest then looked up at him. He was staring back at me. "Can this be like in the stories I want you to prove to me that you're a vampire?" I asked him. He smirked back at me.
