    When I opened my eyes.It was really dark.But,I still could see the young man laying emotionless on the cot from across the room.
I watched in horror as his limp body slowly raised up.Then he stood up and in a instant he was right in front of me.It was so dark I couldn't see any of his features.His face,his clothing.

It was like he was a shadow.I curled myself up in the armchair.I couldn't move,I was paralyzed with fear.
He bent down face level with me.I stared into his crimson glowing eyes.They where burning like fire.I was so scared.but,I couldn't look away.He intensely stared into my eyes for a few minutes.

He bared his long sharp fangs.Then he quickly lunged at me.I closed my eyes tight waiting for the pain to hit my shaking body.
Then I opened my eyes.What?

     My body was curled up,my hands clinging to the arms of the chair.My breathing was heavy and I was sweating all over.
I looked around and realized I was still in the spare room.I had to squint my eyes because of sunlight coming through the window,it was so bright.I looked across the room.

The young man was still lying emotionless on the cot.I relaxed my body in relief.
It was just a dream...more like a nightmare. I haven't had one of those in a while.I thought.
I got up slowly walked towards him.I couldn't get those red burning eyes of of my head.I swallowed the lump in my throat and pushed on.

  I slowly keeled by his side. At least he was still breathing.It seems like he didn't move at all though the night. I carefully took his hand into mine,being aware of his long sharp claws.I looked at his face.Staring at his flawless features.He was beautiful.I thought.I wanted to touch him more.

Slowly I begin to stroke his hair.That seemed to claim him down the first time I did it.I just wanted to confront him.A small smile was on face as stay there for a while,just relaxing by his side.When I was done.I replaced his arm back beside him. Then I stood up and aimlessly walked to the kitchen.I felt so tired and I still wasn't hungry.

So,I decided to chop up some more herbs to make more salve for my guest.
I would have to change his dressings soon.So I might as well,I thought.I grabbed a cutting board, a knife and a hand full of herbs.I put them on the broad and  started chopping.I really wasn't playing attention to want I was doing.Which was stupid of me,I know.I was just staring in space.
I was thinking about the  unconscious man in my spare room.

I wish he would just wake up.And If or when he woke up,what then?
What would happen?
Why am I....

  "Ouch"!! "Damn it"!

I cut my finger with the knife.I watched as the blood filled in my opened skin.As I frantically turn on the tap,I heard something fall in one of the other rooms.
Before I could put my bleeding finger under the running water.A hand quickly grabbed my wrist with a slap.I looked up in surprise.It was him.The handsome young man I rescued.
He was standing there,covered in bandages.
