Helena

chapter 5: Angels... oh great.

I felt like crying.

What the hell? This girl had only hugged him and my whole world was falling apart, I couldn't imagine what the heck I'd feel like if he ever got with someone else.

Contemplating murder most likely.

That's how I'd feel.

I sat down on my black velvet and wood sofa and looked at her as she floated so gracefully in and lowered herself down onto the chair opposite, Caine taking a seat next to me a little further away than I was expecting, the woman, of about nineteen looked at us curiously then gave a gentle smile

"your distance is curious. I thought when he told you you'd be all over each other" she said keeping her innocent smile

"I might be but he didn't tell me until he kidnapped me. It isn't the best way to start a relationship by being kidnapped and told your soul mate is a vicious killer"

"YOU DID WHAT NOW?" the woman shouted standing up, her eyes turned into just black holes and she turned from radient to frightening, she bared her teeth showing her perfect teeth were now pointed and very sharp, Caine stood up

"alright, calm it Caroline you look like Samara if she was blonde" Caine said grabbing her firmly by the shoulder apparently not fazed by her sudden angry outburst

"who?" I questioned

"that girl from the ring. you know, that film where she comes out of the TV" he said shrugging

aaah right

"So that's your name, Caroline" I said trying to act casual hoping shed calm down, she hissed at Caine then looked completely normal and perfect again. strange girl.

"yes, yes it is. your Helena Way, its nice to formally meet you" Caroline said smiling

"nice to meet you, so you're a vampire to then I guess?" I asked

"oh no sweetie, I'm an angel" she said with a sweet smile

Of course she had to be an angel, what could get more perfect than an angel? why did I always have to be outdone by people?

"aha! how wonderful" I said unenthusiastically

"don't worry love, I've been with her I got over her there's no worries there" Caine said trying to reassure me, it made me feel awful, I knew...the way they were that something was going on...I sniffed and turned running to my bedroom and slamming the door.

about an hour later and after a bit of an argument outside and my front door slammed Caine knocked on my bedroom door and came into my room. I was curled up on my bed hiding my face, he came over and rested his hand on my shoulder, I shrugged it off "don't be like that" he said i could hear the frown in his voice

"I knew Caine, she's too perfect for you to not have...where as I'm nothing like it...I'm an eighteen year old goth freak with no friends. she's the dictionary description of perfect and I can't match up to it, I know you wouldn't choose me if you had the choice" I told him not looking at him when I spoke

I felt Caine's arm come up under me and lift me up so that I was sat facing him, slowly he raised a hand to my cheek and brushed his thumb under my eye wiping away a tear that I'd let slip "I'd never choose her over you, your mine, whether your a little strange or a little dark it doesn't bother me, I'm not the picture of all that is light and good either. I got with her because I had no one else, I liked her at the time but it finished in the 20s and I haven't ever wanted her back, I didn't know you felt so strongly about me, you only met me a few weeks ago...consciously you've only known me a few days.." he trailed off

"but I can't help it, I don't know why...but I can't stand the thought of me not being with you...to think you've been with anyone else is upsetting...why?" I asked my tears now rolling freely down my face, I just didn't care anymore

"Helena...were fated to be together, were two halves of the same person...there's only one thing I know that it can be" he said looking into my eyes, his icy blue eyes were captivating and no matter how much I wanted to look away I just couldn't

"what's that?" I questioned thinking he'd say something was wrong, that I wasn't his and hed made a mistake, it was just me being a weak human, but what he actually said caught me off guard, and no matter how much I tried I couldn't take it in

"love, princess, pure and simple" he told me, I sniffed.

Our love was not pure and certainly not simple, but I'd take it.

The only people who'd ever loved me, or even liked me were my parents. I sure as hell was not going to turn down the gorgeous soul mate vampire love I was being offered right now, so I got caught up in the moment and without thinking I lunged forwards and kissed him.

-------------+--++--+-------------

It took all night to get over what had happened. It was all moving so quickly that lately I hadn't had time to think. last night I'd kissed a vampire and he'd kissed me back for a moment at least, his beaming grin afterwards was enough to tell me I'd not made a mistake in doing it.

Id fallen asleep at some point and woken up now, at 8 am with my vampire boyfriends arm around me and me snuggling into his side. Today I'd go to school late if I went at all.

I was tired, crying had tired me out I thought up as an excuse, I didn't care what reason I gave to my school for being away, I just hoped Caine could work some charming magic and help me out with that.

I looked at him as he rested, he didn't quite sleep, he just lightly slept, enough to keep his senses alert but to get enough rest that he wasn't tired. I didn't want to see what would happen if I woke a vampire up from a sleep, I didn't picture it as a nice scene.

So I just lay there and closed my eyes.

I hoped I'd dream something special and I knew I probably would. I also hoped I'd sleep so much that I'd wake up in a brilliant mood, this however I had doubts about as I drifted off again.

A little later on I woke up again to an empty bed, the only thing I was hugging was now a dark red pillow that I'd somehow moved from under my head. How was it that I always managed to do that? more to the point why was there a pillow instead of Caine?

I got up and crawled to the edge of my bed flopping off of it in a state of 'i-cant-be-arsed' ness and sat there on the floor for a moment before standing up really slowly and wandering to the door. I was surprised at what I saw when I opened it, a shirtless Caine stood in my kitchen next to the dining table that had a massive plate of pancakes and syrup on it

"oh my gosh..." I exclaimed unable to keep in my surprise, at both things, a half naked vampire and how many pancakes said vampire vampire had made, vampire being the word here with the fact he didn't need to eat. He had made the amount of pancakes enough for two people for just me

"i made you some breakfast even though its like half eleven, its not that surprising princess" he said shrugging, I just started giggling I couldn't help it

"its not the breakfast!" I said blushing, I'd not ever expected to have a half naked guy stood in my kitchen, to me it was hilarious, and a bit hard to look away from "your-you-HAHA!" I couldn't even talk now! fantastic!

"oh, you find me funny do you?" I said raising his eyebrows, suddenly he was right in front of me with his hands propping him up against the wall either side of me "how funny am I now love?" he questioned his eyes searching me boring into my face

"I didn't mean that you were funny...I...your half undressed in my kitchen and I'm a girl...I can't help it...especially with you looking like you do" I said my heart beating so much I thought it was about to climb out of my mouth and desert me, Caine just chuckled his usual low chuckle

"your amusing sweetheart, now go eat, we need to go back to my house for a bit so hurry up" he said kissing me gently on the cheek then walking back to the kitchen and checking in my tumble dryer for his T-shirt which he'd washed AGAIN, it wasn't dry so he left it in there.

slowly I sat down and took a mouthful of the pancakes, they were the best thing I'd ever tasted, it surprised me even more.

I could get used to this.
