Silence

Amelia and Me

Alexandra's Pov
     Even though Amelia was a freshly turned vampire she was pretty strong. The bloodlust hasn't made her go insane yet and she seemed in control of herself most of the time. I was strangely protective of her and I knew I was sometimes overbearing but it's for her own protection. Male vampires can get violent when they see a female. Females are uncommon so when a male sees a female it becomes a race for love. But I wasn't going to let anyone have Amelia and I can't really tell you why. I honestly couldn't tell you why I saved her life. Maybe it was fate or maybe it was because I felt bad for getting her shot.
       I have made many bad choices in life and in death. I don't have a clean record I'll admit it. But, I wasn't a bad boy. Most of my problems were caused by alcohol even me becoming a vampire. It's all one massive blur that ended with me getting bit by a call girl. But, that's a story for a later chapter.
      I watched as Amelia twisted a small strand of hair around her finger,"So is this the only city for things other then human,"she asked taking a sip of her drink.
        "There are four more, they are located in what you call The Sanctuary, The Unified,  Justice and Peace, and lastly the capital which is in what I use to call Russia," I met her brown eyes and continued explaining,"That's the short list of safe places, the worlds connecting the land of the undead, the fey realm, and even the celestial have been completely blocked off, no one is getting in or out." I watched her reaction, her confused glance turned into a frown as she fiddle with her hair.
"So what's your story, how did you end up not human?" I watched her take a long drink and then fidget with her hair more.
"Amelia, that's a story I'm not ready to tell you, it's not that I don't trust you, it's the fact I want to forget." I took a long drink, avoiding her gaze.
         She sighed in protest,"Okay I understand, we've only been together a short while anyways." She turned herself away from. "What's next on the agenda for today."
         I tapped my finger on the table thinking for a few moments,"we do have to get you some new clothing so you aren't just stealing mine." I gave a playful giggle smiling at her. I watched her tiny nose scrunch up and pout.
        "I don't just steal your clothes I have my own a shirt and pants it's not my fault your a butthead who doesn't have female clothes," she huffed at me. She is adorable nothing short of the word.
"And that's why I said I'm going to buy you some," I told her," How is your drink, is it up to the liking."
"Oh absolutely it's good and it's nice to be out and about, I mean it has been a hard adjustment from being human to well a vampire." I watched her lightly rub her neck before setting her cup lightly on the table. "I'm finished, are you almost done?."
"Someone is impatient to explore but yes I'm done, im going to head to the front desk and pay." I got up from my seat and headed over to the front counter. I had a brief conversation with the cashier and paid motioning for Amelia to come to me. As we left the shop Amelia looked up at me.
"So where to next?" She asked.
"I'm thinking about running to a clothing shop liked we talked about, we do need to get you clothes that are well more your size." I motioned awkwardly to my shirt she was wearing.
"Whatever you say, it's crazy that all of this was hidden, I'm just surprised it's so interesting and I can't help but want to know more."
