            The night that changed my life

Tap…tap…tap….The noise came from my window. I stay in my bed frozen with fear. Tap...Tap TAP! The noise becoming impatient I slowly creep towards my window and see a dark figure standing in the moonlight. He looks roughly my age. He is tall, “5.11” maybe, and tanned, his eyes are a deep set kind of green and gleam like emeralds in the moonlight. His hair is jet black and is just beyond his jaw. He says, “Princess I’ve come for you, why that face? You look scared, didn’t you miss me, Princess?!” He stares at me with a scared and concerned expression. Finally I find my voice,” Y…y...you must be m...m...mistaken I’m just an average girl living a normal life! I am no princess!” Then I once again lose my voice. He slowly comes in my room trying to hug me but I dodge him and say,” Who are you? Explain yourself!?” He says,” Princess there’s no mistaking you…You are the princess I would never forget you! Never! How could've you forgotten me?”I speak up and say,” I’m sorry, but I’ve never seen you before... Can you please tell me who you are?” He sighs sadly and begins to tell me his story. “My name is Rodrigo and I’m from Rome, Italy and I’m…well was 16 until one faithful night when I was attacked and woke up later to find out that I was changed. I interrupt “What do you mean by that?” He sighs once again and says,” I’m a vampire but don’t worry princess I won’t hurt you. I promise, so please, don’t be scared.” He looks at me caringly and takes my hand in reassurance. I cringe away but he holds my hand slightly tighter. I blush a little bit because now that I see him more clearly he looks very handsome and very infatuated with me. He later finishes his story and then I understand why he calls me princess, but I tell him to call me by my name.” Well, princes- I mean Sapphire, it’s going to take awhile to adjust to your new home an –. “WHAT I NEVER AGREED TO LEAVE!!!!” I scream unbelieving to what he was saying. He embraces me in a warm, gentle hug, and whispers for me to calm down. He holds me until I’m finally calmed down, panting still in a rage, I say in a hushed voice, "Well I’m not going anywhere with YOU! I…I hardly know you.” He says,” You do know me but you just don’t remember please…I can help you with that.” He leans in and kisses me, before I can protest I find myself wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him back! I start thinking, “What am I doing this is crazy!” I push him away, gasping for breath, I look at him and he’s smiling and I say a little loud,"What was that for!” He laughs to himself and says through a grin,"You know you liked that and you must’ve remembered something because I felt your passion in that kiss.” I feel my face grow hot and I know I must be blushing. He laughs again, kisses my forehead, and says goodbye; Before I get to say anything he’s gone. I can’t sleep after that. I keep touching my lips, remembering how soft his lips were and how he had kissed me. I glance at my clock 5:30 A.M.! Oh my god! It’s really late and I can’t sleep!,“Ugh” I grunt and roll over to my side and see a cell phone next to me and I say,"This isn’t mine! I don’t even own one!” I look through the phone, but it's brand new and then I notice a note next to it and the note reads, "To my princess, so we can keep in touch.” written in beautiful lettering. I roll my eyes, but I’m tempted to text or call him, so I just put the phone in a drawer, close my eyes, and finally fall asleep.
