I step back from Peter trying to comprehend the fact that we have to leave. Our moment on the couch lasted about 2.5 seconds before Peter was on high alert. He explained that the southern vampire wars were still going on. We were in danger of territory disputes. He told me that he owned a house in Amarillo that was out of the territory disputes. It was far enough north that the newborns wouldn't travel that far.

"So, we're going to your house?" I ask as he moves around the living room. He's apparently looking for anything with names on it to track him.

"Yes, that's the plan. The situation we are going to leave here, is complicated. They are going to think you were either kidnapped, murdered, or just up and left. Cutting contact with your family for a few years would be best."

I twist my lips at that idea. I had been searching for an excuse to cut contact with my family. I just got one. Not to mention I somewhat understand that my family learning about vampires would not be in their best interest.

"That shouldn't be a problem. I haven't heard from them in the past week anyway. It should be just fine."

Peter nodded but then sighed, "You don't mind leaving your things in your apartment?"

I shake my head, "I don't mind. Nothing important in there anyway. You and Jasper are the only important things to me now." I grin at him when he turns around. It seems so surprised by lack of fear in him. He's been around me nearly two full months, I have no reason to fear him. There had been countless opportunities for him to kill me, yet he hasn't. I've thought about hardly anything but someone to love me for who I am since I knew the concept of love. I didn't want someone to save from the tower, I wanted to help them save me, Peter was just my knight in vampire armor.

"Okay, that's good," Peter says distractedly, "we'll get more clothes in Amarillo. Here's the deal, I'm going to change out of these clothes and leave them here. I'll take one of those bags with me when I leave. There are security cameras in the lobby which will track my movements out of the complex. I'll ditch the bag down the road and climb back up the side of the house. I'll tell you the rest once I've accomplished that. You have to follow this plan, otherwise we'll have serious problems."

I nodded watching him speed into his room. He came back out only seconds later fully changed.

"I'll change again while I'm gone. They won't recognize me on the street either. Put whatever you don't want in this bag, it will be discarded by the end of the day in the dumpster."

I nodded grabbing the bag and walking into his bathroom. "I'm going to need some of your clothes, Peter. I'm not taking these. Then we can go get me some other clothes like you. Otherwise, they'll have someone searching the country for our clothes."

Peter nods his understanding as he moves into the bathroom. I shut the door and decide on a shower screaming to him through the door. I sigh as the hot water slides through my hair and down my body. Afterward, I find clothes sitting just outside the door with a note. Peter has already left to do his part. He'll knock when he needs the window open.

I find some baggy jeans, a tank top, and an oversized sweatshirt. I quickly slide into them tighten them with a belt as I slide into a pair of sneakers. Threading my fingers through my wet hair, I sit on the couch pulling my legs to my chest. My entire life is about to change. I know what this also means. I'll be turned into a vampire eventually, I can't stay human mated to vampires. The idea of never growing old sounds interesting, but there's also another thing.
