"Suddenly I heard a tap as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door". "I thought police always said freeze?". "I love you Eric". "Say it again Hannah". "I love you Eric". "I saw their pain through your eyes". "Little things used to mean so much to Shelly and Hannah- I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial". "Victims; aren't we all?". "Jesus Christ? Stop me if you heard this one: Jesus Christ walks into a hotel, He hands the innkeeper three nails, and he asks... Can you put me up for the night?". "He was already dead. He died a year ago the moment he touched them. They're all dead. They just don't know it yet." "Is that gasoline I smell?" "Take your shot, Funboy. You got me dead bang." "I thought I'd use your front door." "Eric?". "Hannah.......". "You can't be real you died I saw you die your dead". "I may be dead but my love for you and Shelly won't ever die". "I love you Eric". "Say it again Hannah". "I love you Eric". "I love you hannah my little raven". "It can't rain all the time." " I have something to give you. I don't want it anymore. Thirty hours of pain all at once, all for you" "I thought, you know, you were invincible!" " I was. I'm not any more". "A whole jolly club with jolly pirate nicknames!" "I love you Shelly". "I love you too my little raven". "You shouldn't smoke these. They'll kill you"

First Person Romantic Adventures.

I turned from the demonic sream and was faced with the one person that everyone wishes to be near...Lestat. His wavy.brown hair blended in with his black velvet jacket, while his pail skin was flawless line peril, while his dark eyes seemed to control mine. His lips were slightly parted showing the tips of his fangs "do not be afraid...he will not harm you" he said with an evil smile. I remained silent in shock from what just happened "so...what brings someone like you to this part of town?" He asked as he looked at me while walking around me. I looked at the ground as he circled around me "silent one aren't you" he said while stopping in front of me. I looked up at him with a blank face "so...your real?" I asked him "yes...I am what I say I am" he said with a dark smirk. I took deep breaths to keep myself calm "what's your name?" He asked walking toward me. I took a deep breath when he pushed me agents the brick wall 'I'm going to die....this is it for Emily Hail' I thought while looking into his eyes and saw nothing by hunger.
