OUT FOR BLOOD - CHAPTER 7 - Dating a Vampire

CHAPTER 7:

CATALINA'S POV:

We get back in his car and sit in silence the whole way back to his apartment. I have so many questions that I am dying to ask him, but he said another time and I respect that. I hope I never have to step foot in that filthy club again. I feel like I need a shower.

When we get back to his place, I ask to use his shower and he says that he'll order a pizza. When I get out of the bathroom, I am wearing the outfit I came over in and he is sitting on the couch. There is a knock on the door and it's the pizza guy. Jaden puts in another Van Damme movie, 'Kickboxer' and we cuddle on the couch, eating pizza.

I still can't believe how much our relationship has changed in just a few days. I went from trying to kill him to longing to kiss him. Totally weird, besides the fact that I had sworn I wouldn't date yet. Are we dating? I'm not sure, so I ask Jaden, "Jaden, are we dating?"

"Can't you tell?" he asks bewildered.

"No, I've never been on a date before," I tell him.

"Really? Why not? You're beautiful," he asks, even more bewildered.

I let out an exasperated sigh, "Well, it's not like I've never been asked. I've just always declined."

"Really?" he says again with a big smile. "Well in that case, Catalina, will you please go on a real date with me tomorrow night?"

I smile, wrap my arms around his neck and give him a peck on the lips, "Yes, I'd love too."

"Why did you always say 'no'?" he asks.

"If I answer your question, will you answer one of mine?" I ask.

"I suppose," he says.

"Well, it's because I swore I would wait until I had killed Jonathan and Daniel. But, I guess it's okay if I date you, since we will be dating and trying to kill them together at the same time. Now it's my turn to ask a question. What are your powers? How strong are you? How many vampires can you take on at the same time?" Okay, so that was more than one question, but all related questions.

He laughs, "I should have known that's what you would ask. I haven't really tested it, but I can tell you that once, a long time ago, I had to take on five vampires. They were new vampires. I'm not sure how many I can take on now though. Probably more."

I get excited and sit on his lap, straddling him, "Really? That is so cool. I wish I could take on five vampires by myself. You didn't answer my other questions."

"You said one question," he says.

"Please!" I say and start kissing his face, "Please! Please! Please!"

He smiles and I can tell it worked, "Fine, my mental powers are very strong. I am also extremely strong physically, when I want to be. I prefer to not use either, if I don't have to."

"Well, what are your mental powers?" I ask eagerly.

"Like I told you before, I can shield my powers so that others can't sense them. I can also influence the minds and actions of humans and newer vampires. I am also able to communicate with animals."

"No shit? Like Dr. Doolittle?" I blurt out.

He laughs, "Sort of. I can only influence their actions and feel what they are feeling. We don't have conversations."

"Hey, try it on me!" I tell him.

"You aren't an animal," he says.

"No, not that! Make me do something against my will," I tell him.
