After Holly went to bed, Killian promised to meet me at midnight as discussed, I hope from the conversation that everything would be said from Killian's words about the girl that he and Matthew implied that I remind myself of her.

22nd October 2009

I waited on the front porch for Killian as I checked my phone, it read. '0:29am'

I was very anxious about what Killian had to say, something that was equally important for the both of us.

The loud rumble of the car interrupted my thoughts as Killian stepped out from the car, checking the surroundings quickly, as if everything is clear and no passer-by was watching from afar.

"Lisa, thank you so much for meeting me at short notice". He kissed my cheek in a form of greeting and I smiled at the sweet gesture.

I nodded, "It's not a problem, Holly's asleep so she won't hear us right now; so, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

"The story that I'm going to tell you is relatively a short one and the reason why I hate Matthew so much to this day is because she was the one who caused it..."

He hesitated, but I put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it in comfort. "It's okay" I stated as I stared into his green eyes.

For a brief moment, to his lips then my gaze went back up to his eyes, I blushed.

Killian closed his eyes and breathed "When I was a human, I met a girl, I met Elizabeth when I was only a teenager, I was only 17 when I met her and... she was every woman that every guy wanted, even Matthew, but as the following weeks passed, I saw both of them getting closer, only to realise that I'd only talked to Matthew a little, far less often than before. He was always with her, which sparked my jealousy even further and that Matthew was always the older brother. He'd have resented me if I took her away from him and I didn't want that as I loved him so much, and it hurt that I could never have Elizabeth, we were best friends, we shared everything together till she came into our lives and ruined it all for us."

Killian let out a tear as he spoke about the painful memory of his adolescent years, I wiped away his tear that fell on his cheek and kept resting my hand on his cheek.

He whispered a short and sweet, "thank you" and held my hand over it, intertwining our fingers together. We both smiled.

"I'm sorry" he started, clearing his throat as he began, his eyes welling with tears. "As I was saying, I saw them both together, but then she came to me, one evening and at one point and we started getting closer"

"What happened?" she asked.

"Matthew didn't like it, and Matthew and I... we just... started to drift apart from each other, it was always like... like we went from best friends to total strangers, and all because of Elizabeth. She knew that she was coming between us, that we would hate each other, that we would argue over which man would have her and my parents agreed that Matthew and Elizabeth would be engaged to be married. I was so furious, furious because I set my eyes on her first and not him. So that's one of the reasons why I hate my brother and the other reason... well it is complicated, so I will tell you another time because I'm guessing one story is just enough for one night...".

He let out a final breath and softly chuckled.

I stood there confused. "So that's one of the reasons why you and Matthew hate each other? There's something deep beyond the hate that you two have for each other, I might remind you of her but I'm not the one that will go between the two brothers"

I closed my eyes, wishing that this was it "because... because I like you Killian I just don't know what this feeling is like but I really like you, I know we're friends but I can't help it, you've saved me so many times and we had a trust for each other that I felt like I could tell you everything that is in my life, I know that we're not ready yet for a relationship because I have a feeling that's something will be coming for us very soon and I just don't know what is coming or who and I'm scared Killian"

Killian, hearing my confession, cradled my face in his hands, his hands warm on my face, so loving, so gentle, I felt so safe and protected.

"It's okay Lisa, there's nothing to be afraid of... I will protect you from my own brother and anyone that would get in our way, he wouldn't be going near you from now on and I can make sure of that, I promise"

He kissed my forehead and we shared a hug... a warm hug that only strengthened my feelings for him.

UNKNOWN'S POV

I stood there, watching the two of them, hugging it out on the porch, smirking 'What poor unfortunate souls, too bad I'm going to come for you Killian, you and your pathetic brother and dear Lisa, I will come and ruin you all for what you all have made me done and I will make sure of it till I get my revenge' He silently pried his hands off the white wooden fence and walked away like a simple human would from the scene. The smirk was quickly wiped off, calling someone.

"We will get ready when it's time, and they won't know what's coming for them... ever"

I saw a weak human walking with her friends, laughing about something and I fed on her, her pathetic friends scurrying away from me. My fangs sprouted and sank deep into her sweet vein in her neck not feeling any pity or remorse whatsoever, I felt alive whenever I feed, I felt stronger than ever and I will keep on feeding whoever I want. I stopped feeding on her for a moment and briefly looked at Lisa, who was still hugging that pathetic low-life vampire, I want to feed on her... sweet blood that is so special, I could feel her blood in her veins, that blood will achieve my goals, so I can have the blood all to myself that will make me indestructible forever once I drain it all out of her. I kept on draining on the dying human till she dropped on the floor dead and walked away.
