Her Human Mate (on hold)

Prologue

Ellie Winters has been a vampire for almost 100 years. She was turned at the young age of 20. She could still remember the day it happened, it was in 1914 the year where World War 1 began and Woodrow Wilson was president. Fashion had yet to be heard of, at least that's what Ellie thought. Back in those days everyone was practically covered from head to toe in clothing until the roaring 20s hit but that's a whole other story. Ellie loved the fashion now she felt more comfortable in the clothing and not to mention looked a whole lot better. Back in 1914 the men were getting shipped off to war including her father Nathan and 18 year old brother Jack, they were never seen again and it hurt her every time she thought about them. At the time Ellie had been 20 years old and was working in a munitions factory where she helped with the making and supplying of ammunitions. She didn't particularly like the job but it was better then working at her home cooking and cleaning which she loathed.

She remembered the day when she met Gregory, he was a very handsome man at the time considering the choices. She was on her way home from a two shift day and it was dark out but that had never scared Ellie, she was braver than your average girl. She was maybe three blocks from her home when two young men had showed up trying to ravage her belongings and her being. One had grabbed her purse and rifled through it finding all the good things and the other had stalked up to her in a menacing way. She knew what the wanted but she wasn't going to give up, women didn't generally fight but Ellie wasn't going to give them what they wanted. The taller thinner man to the right had stopped searching through her bag and headed for her with a determined look in her eyes. Her virtue was at stake and he wanted to claim it. She backed up not knowing what to do, her dad had taught her some thing about defending herself before he left because he didn't want her to be defenseless. She balled up her fists but before anything could happen a tall man came strolling through the alleyway behind the men, a gray mist filling behind him adding a certain mysterious air to him. He didn't say a word just tapped on the taller mans shoulder and grabbed ahold of his neck whispering something in his ear and throwing him hard to the cemented ground. The more muscled man turned and threw out his fist but the other ducked and grabbed ahold his his neck as well again whispering something into his ear then throwing him to the ground with a loud thud. The two men scrambled to their feet and ran for their lives.

Ellie wasn't sure how to react, but gratefulness ruled overall and she strolled to him thanking him gratefully. "I don't know how to thank you."

He looked into her eyes and smiled slightly not showing his teeth, "Let me walk you home."

She nodded in agreement still staring at his hypnotizing dark green eyes. He was a very handsome man, from what she could tell his skin was a flawless creamy beige color and him hair was dark, probably black and styled in a younger mans fashion longer then regular but it made him look devilishly handsome. She ran to grab her bag and began to walk with him, "I don't know how to repay you for your help, you save my life."

He didn't smile or frown, "I doubt they were after your life my darling."

Darling? One didn't call a woman that unless they were married but Ellie liked it. "Right I guess not, but still, thank you, Mr..."

"Jameson.. Daryl Jameson. And you are?"

"Elizabeth Towning, everyone calls me Ellie."

"Beautiful name, for a beautiful woman."

Ellie blushed and looked forward seeing her home and she stopped, "This is me."

He nodded and gave a slight bow then took her hand and kissed it, it was nice to meet you Ellie. I hope to meet again soon."

She smiled, "As do I."

"In you go," He said motioning to the door to her home, she nodded and walked away from him with a longing in her body. She turned back once and didn't see him anywhere, she sighed and walked into her house running over every detail that happened that night.

Days passed and practically every night she walked home Daryl was there, she began to grow more intense feeling for him and one night she grew bold and kissed him. He looked at her with a fire in his eyes and he grabbed her face kissing her back, the kiss melted her insides. She had never kissed anyone before and now this strange, handsome, mysterious man was ravishing her lips and she was letting him and actually enjoying it. She inexperienced so she followed his lead, but as soon as the kiss started it stopped and he backed away from her. He stared at her in amazement and interest. "You're a brave one aren't you." She didn't know what he was talking about. "Where are your parents?"

"Well my father and only brother are off fighting in the war and my mother died long ago, so I live on my own for now."

He frowned, "Alone, you're alone."

She nodded, "Yes unfortunately."

"May I enter your home Ellie Towning?"

"Really?"

He smiled, "Yes I wish to downs more time with you and to make sure you and your home is well protected."

Ellie thought that to be charming and invited him in showing him around her home and heading to the kitchen. " are you hungry or thirsty?"

He shook his head, "Not particularly. Come and sit with me on the sofa."

She nodded and sat down next to him not knowing what to say.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes of course, just a little nervous, I've never done this before?"

"Done what?"

She didn't look at him, "Well kiss a man and then invite him into my home."

He chuckled, "I see, well you are safe with me."

She looked to him this time, "I'm glad."

He smiled and leaned toward her and kissed her full round lips. He grabbed her hand and lead it to his neck and she brought her other hand up as well clutching at him. His hands roamed down to her back. She moaned at the feel of this, it felt amazing to her and she didn't want it to stop. He smiled in the kiss then licked around her lips, she wasn't sure what to do next. His lips left hers "Open for me darling."

She was breathing heavily, "Open what?"

He chuckled, "Your mouth I want our tongues to touch and then to dance together." She was shocked at the idea but did as told and opened her mouth slightly letting his tongue touch hers and a strange sensual felling came over her. She liked the feeling and wanted more so she moved her tongue along his and followed his lead twirling their tongues together in a strange erotic dance. He brought his lips down to her neck kissing and licking it everywhere. Ellie felt his teeth rake again her neck at one point but didn't mind because of how good it felt. She was moaning hi delight at how good he was making her feel she didn't know anything could feel this good, didn't know anything could make her want this much. She felt his teeth again he leaned her head to the other side giving him better access and he took advantage. Ellie felt a sharp pain at the side of her neck something was puncturing her skin and it hurt but then a sudden burst of pleasure overtook her and she grasped at Daryl harder and he did the same then suddenly it all stopped. She was still in pleasure mode as she watched him bite his arm and put it to her mouth. "Drink darling drink." And she did as told lapping up all he gave her not knowing any better. After a minute passed a pain formed in her stomach then went to her heart, she couldn't breathe. She couched at her body and then at Daryl who held her in his arms shushing her in a smooth tone, "Its alright darling everything will be alright." She couldn't believe that because everything was hurting so much she could feel her breath leaving her body but nothing coming back in she was growing weak and her body heavy. Pain began to subside as her world collapsed and found its way into darkness.
