Chapter Thirteen - Vampire

KYLE

"You're leaving us?"

I couldn't believe my ears. Papà, mom, Kara, and I were just eating dinner like every night when she just dropped this news on us.

She was moving.

"I'm 18, I have to move out and stop burdening you guys," she said.

"Oh, sweetie, you're never a burden to us," mom held her hand.

"I promise, I'll visit regularly."

Papà looked at her, "Where are you gonna stay?"

"I'm staying at an apartment I found. It's close to campus."

"When're you leaving?" I asked.

"This Saturday. A friend's coming to pick me up."

"Then let's go out to eat tomorrow night, before you leave," mom said.

I hugged her tight and pecked her forehead.

"Remember to visit, K."

"I will."

I hesitantly let go of her. She waved before walking towards Connor's car and getting in. I watched her longingly before she went out of sight.

KARA

I stepped inside the pack house with my bag and luggage. Connor handled my other things and led me to his room. We went in and placed my things down.

"I cleaned up a bit. We were supposed to let you move into one of the guest rooms, but I couldn't stand living under the same roof as you and not having you in my arms," he said sheepishly.

"It's alright, I don't mind," I pecked his cheek.

We started to set things up. He helped me set up my desk with my drawing tablet, laptop and whatnot. I placed my clothes in his closet. He had so little clothes, I could squish his clothes to the side of the closet and have enough space for mine. After finishing, I packed up some clothes and things into one luggage for the cave. I sat on the bed and Connor sat beside me.

"So," he said, "how do you feel moving in with me?"

I shrugged, "It's exciting to be living with you, but I feel so guilty for leaving Kyle and his parents."

He placed his hand on my cheek and gently maneuvered my head to look at him.

"I know, you can visit them anytime you want."

I smiled and placed my hand on his. I leaned in and buried my face in his chest while he wrapped his arms around me. He placed gentle kisses on my hair as I wrapped my arms around him.

A MONTH LATER

CONNOR

Kara and I were running through the forest. Black and white, perfect color match. We continued running until I got a whiff of an unknown scent.

Kara, shift back. - Connor

We shifted and put on some clothes. I sniffed the air again and there it was. That scent. I rarely smelled it, but I knew what it was.

A fucking vampire.

Connor?

'Yeah?'

Stay completely still.

'Why?'

It's right there.
