Kat has been scared ever since we got home from our date. Her gums still hurt but that's normal. But the thing that is scaring both me and her is how much she's dependent on the human blood. She needs to switch once her eyes turn a normal color.
She's been sitting on the bed with her knees up to her chest. I walked in and hugged her.
"You want to go for a swim," I asked.
"I don't know..."
"Babe... you don't need to be so scared. It's normal that your gums hurt and that your eyes are red still. It happened to me when I was 10. I was scared but my sister helped me by taking me out to the beach. We swam for hours."
"What do you mean this happened when you were ten. You weren't born like this?"
"I was born a vampire but when your born a vamp you don't have your fangs or the apatite for blood til your 10."
"That's so weird. So your mostly human for 10 years."
"Ya. But when I turned 16 it's like my growth stopped."
"Wow."
"Yup. Alright your now trying to avoid going outside. Why."
"I don't want to move."
"Babe you have to move. I'm not going to bring you blood if your hungry, just because your too lazy too... Come on get your lazy bum up."
I grabbed her arms and legs then dragged her to the bathroom.
"Ethan ssssttttoooooppp."
"Kat you need to get out of this room. You've been in here for a week."
"Fine. Let me get dressed." She closed the door behind me. I walked into the kitchen to see Grayson sitting at the counter on his phone.
"She is one stubborn girl," Grayson said.
"I can hear you guys," Kat said from the bathroom.
"Oh Yeah house full of vamps can't keep anything secret now," I said.
"You've got that right. So your taking her down to the beach."
"Yeah. It's kinda hard to do a pick nick when she's only drinking blood and it's not a private beach."
"Put the blood in a wine glass."
"What about keeping the blood fresh."
"A cooler," Kat said as she walked in with a black bikini on.
"Holy crap. You look amazing."
"Thanks baby. Now are you going to get a bathing suit on."
"Yeah I'll be back..."
I ran to my room and changed into blue swimshorts. I walked back to Kat and Gray.
"You ready to go beautiful," I said as I put my hand on her lower back.
"Yeah. Let's go."
I grabbed her hand and ran down to the beach.
"Ethan slow down. Holy shit."
"Sorry I just really want to do this," I leaned down and kissed her. Of course she kissed back. I can tell she's still in pain even though I'm trying to help take it way, "Hold on I can help with your pain. Why didn't I think of this."
"Think of what Ethan."
"When Gray or me used to get hurt before we turned, I could take away the pain. I think I can still do it."
I placed my hands on her cheeks and concentrated on her pain. Kat put her small hands around mine.
"Ethan it working, what the hell. How."
"I never really know. I could only do it to me or Gray. But I guess because your my mate I could do it to you too."
She smiled when I called her my mate. "I love you... so much. Now let me go lay down in the sun."
"Kat you know you can't tan right."
"What!"
"Yeah. Your a vampire. The only reason you can even stand out her is because of that ring I put on you when we were on the plain."
"Really! So no more summer tans."
"Sorry love. Hey but you're already tan so it doesn't matter."
"Are you crazy. I'm paler then you."
"Yeah. I know. I was just trying to cheer you up."
"Ha ha very funny. I still don't want to go in the water."
"Why."
"I don't want to get wet."
"Oh come on let's go."
"Nope." She closed her arms and stood there looking at me.
"I guess if you won't go in willingly... then I just have tooo," I ran over to her and grabbed her waist. She is strong but not as strong as me. I continue to try and push her into the water.

"Ethan stop it still have my cover up on."
"Does it matter if it gets a little wet the house is right there."
"ETHAN NO. I don't want to go in."
I stopped pushing and turned her to face me. He eyes were ruby red. Shit.
"Hey look at me. I'm sorry I didn't mean to get you upset. Please don't be mad."
"I'm not mad. I was having fun but I am hungry."
I grabbed her hand and led her to the blanket. She grabbed the blood bag and drank it dry.
"Can we go back to the house and watch Netflix," Kat asked.
"Sure."
"Yay. Can I choose what we can watch."
"Of course."
"Yay let's go." She ran ahead of me as I picked up our stuff. I ran back and started to unpack everything. I couldn't find the empty blood bag. I started to search all over the bag. Grayson and Kat walked in.
"Ethan baby what's wrong," Kat said with a worried excretion.
"I can't find the empty blood bag."
"WHAT?" Grayson yelled.
"Gray come down. It's not that bad," Kat said.
"No it is Kat. Because if anyone finds that... Ethan's name is on there and someone will probably go to the heads and tell then that there's a new born running around that Ethan has created."
