Don't be afraid
The shadows know me
Let's leave the world behind
Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don't need the light
We'll live on the dark side
The first time she saw him he was slamming the front door shut of his family house and stomping down the drive, his jaw clenched in frustration and hurt, his heart pacing with adrenaline. El could hear it from the forest where she watched him, hidden in the shadows of the trees.
She could hear the pumping of his heart and the whoosh of blood that spread through his body. It made her mouth water as she dug her nails into the bark of the tree to try and feign off her hunger for him.
El had never experienced a lust like this before. Never truly giving into her primal instincts unlike the others. But that was before his scent drew into her nostrils, dilating her eyes and making her thirsty for him and only him.
She closed her hazel eyes that were streaked with red from the moment of her transition and listened to his thoughts, using a combination of her new skills and the telekinetic powers she was born with.
His name was Michael Wheeler, although he preferred Mike. He was 21 like El had been when she was turned, forever frozen at this age. Her fingernails dug further into the bark of the tree as she continued to listen to Mike's thoughts and feel his emotions.
He was scared and angry. He had come home for the summer from college to find that his parents were fighting again, only this time it was volatile. His father had always ignored him his whole life, disappointed in his only son and forcing him to take an engineering programme in college when all Mike wanted to do was teach. And his mother? Well she was more concerned with her sordid affairs with much younger men to notice her son.
Mike had enough, packing his bag and leaving his family home and parents behind him as he headed to his friend Will's house. El couldn't help but smirk slightly to herself when she realised that the Will Mike was friends with, was El's same friend. A newly fledged vampire.
She found herself following him, her sense of smell and instinct taking over, leading El to her prey. She would have been surprised that Mike was walking in the dark to Will's house instead of taking his car if it wasn't for the fact that she could read his thoughts. She knew he wanted to blow off some steam, needed time to think alone.
The humanity inside of El flickered to life and she blinked, allowing her hold on Mike's thoughts to loosen. If he wanted to be alone with his thoughts, then she would allow it. It didn't mean she would stop following him though. He was alluring to her in a way she had never experienced before. She wanted him and as her skin tingled with desire, she wasn't sure if his blood was the only thing she wanted.
Mike was moving through the woods now, clearly knowing a short cut to Will's house. El followed him, keeping her distance for her sake and his. His scent was overpowering her, and she honestly didn't know how she would react if she got any closer. But the decision was taken out of her control when Mike suddenly froze and turned around, their eyes immediately locking.
They both gasped in unison, El from the contact of his dark eyes, so captivating and magnetic to her soul. Mike gasping not only from the fact that his intuition that he was being followed was correct, but that he was being followed by the most beautiful and ethereal girl he had ever seen.
