"Alright, spill what do you know?" Niall asked rather impatiently, waiting against a large oak tree as I walk in to the forest clearing he and I frequented on many occasions for various reasons.

A few minutes of silence pass as I make him wait since he wanted to be an impatient asshole.

"No Italian food.. You're always cold... You miss the sunniest days of the year... do I need to keep going?" I say as I count the facts on my fingers. 

He moved from his position against the tree and started to walk towards me, "So that's what you know? That I'm a creature of the night? A cursed demon who drinks blood and kills people?" He seemed to want to point out the negatives more than the positives. 

"I don't think you're a demon, nor do I think you drink human blood or kill anyone." I explain, "I did a lot of research on this before I decided to confront you on it. I wanted to be completely sure. I think you drink animal blood. I think you only feed when you need to. I think that you've seen a lot of people you love die around you knowing you had the power to change their fate." 

He sighs as he gets closer and looks down at his feet, defeated. "You got me. Yes I am a vampire. No I will not turn you. Not unless I absolutely have to. It's a very dangerous and painful experience for anyone to go through and I'm sorry- I can't put you through that no matter how hard you try to push me to do it." 

I look into his blue eyes, tears daring to fall from not only mine but his as well. I could tell he didn't want to leave me but he was doing it for my safety, even at the cost of his own happiness.
