The Vampire's Kiss (An Adommy Love Story)

Tommy's eyes opened and he sat up in the bed with a gasp, looking frantically around the room. I stood up quickly from the chair I was in and gently placed my hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him down, but he flinched at my touch and pulled away, looking up at me fearfully.

"W-Who are you?" He asked. "W-Where am I?"

"Just relax." I said softly. "My name is Adam. You're in my home. You're safe."

"W-Why am I here?" He asked. "W-What happened?"

"I saved your life." I told him calmly. "There were some men after you. They would've killed you had I not been there."

"How do you know they were going to kill me?" He asked, a little calmer now, but I could hear his heart racing in his chest, so I knew he was still afraid.

"I could hear them talking about how they would kill you as they were looking for you." I said. "I would have gotten you away sooner, but they found you before I could get a chance. So I followed them as they took you deep into the woods, then I made my move."

He looked a bit confused.

"What happened to them?" He asked me after hesitating for a moment.

"Don't worry, I took care of them." I reassured him. "They won't be able to hurt you again."

He nodded.

"Thank you." He said quietly. "For saving me. My name is Tommy."

I smiled at him.

"It's nice to meet you Tommy." I said, placing my hand on his shoulder again, only to have him flinch and pull away again. "I'm not going to hurt you. You don't need to be afraid of me."

"It's not that." He said softly, looking down at his lap.

"What is it then?" I asked, although I knew what he was going to say. I had forgotten he would feel the coolness of my skin. Dammit!

"Y-Your skin." He said, looking afraid again. "It's ice cold. Y-You're a vampire."

I'll leave the rest of the synopsis out as a surprise, kind of like a find out as you read thing, because it keeps deleting itself. 🙄

Also, it takes place in the 1400s, but it will have a modern twist.
