grabbed his arm. I could see in his eyes that he wanted blood. And badly. Wonder if Bethany will let him suck her blood?
“Are you feeling okay Chris?” I asked him. Snapping out of the moment he was in, he was looking at me smiled, “I’m okay. Just a bit hungry.” He said. “I can get you blood.” I added and Chris gave me a look that read, REALLY! WHERE?

I pointed silently to Bethany. “there.” I said. Chris watched Bethany from behind. “I can’t.” He began to whisper. “I can’t do it.” He said. “Do you want to die?” I whispered loudly. “No...” he said sadly. I rubbed his arm with warmth. “Me neither.” I said. Chris looked at Bethany one more time and he got into the mood. He’s fangs popped out and the next moment Bethany said, “Okay, we need to turn one more corner and we’ll be out any moment.” She explained to Kevin. Chris snapped out of it again. Crap! So close. “Chris you have to eat.” I said seriously. “I can’t; I just got out of the dark hunters… I can’t go back in there Shirley.” He said. That’s when thought about what he said. Why was I doing this? I’m not an evil woman. I’m good, I was turned into a vampire and my life went down hill ever since then. I was just acting like an evil vampire and not a good one…..
“okay.” I nodded. “But I’m worried about you.” I added. Chris smile in response. “What would I do without you?” He said. “here.” I said and then lifted my wrist to my mouth, popped my fangs and bit into me.

Once that was done, I was bleeding out and handing it over to Chris. “Take it.” I said but Chris refused. “Please Chris don’t argue now just take it.” I said. I looked forward and saw that Kevin and Bethany was a couple of feet away from Chris and I so I wanted him to take the opportunity to take my blood before Kevin noticed and rejects about it. “Please, I trust you completely…just take it. I’m offering you. Don’t think you’re a killer just take it.” I said beginning to hiss at Chris. Chris’s tired blue eyes glared into my green eyes and smiled. He finally agreed. So as I prepared for the sharp pain. It finally came as he drank. I tensed my jaw so hard I swear at any moment my teeth were about to fall off. I watched Chris as he drank away. I was reminded by Chris that I would need to stop him. After 5--15minutes. I told Chris to stop and he finally let go. Easy as that. Chris wiped his mouth as I licked my wrist, taking the blood away and it healed quickly as if it was ever there. “Thank you Shirley.” He said and smiled at me and came over and hugged me as we kept on walking….

The main room….oh this brought back lost and lots of bad memories….
It was the same where Kevin stabbed me and the other vampires took Chris away. This spot officially was the spot I hated. Another thing was that it was strange that I haven’t seen or heard of Alexander his people in a long time….. It was almost too strange. It felt like the place was abandoned. Like nobody lived her any more. As we reached the main double door, the entrance to the mansion we walked out in the middle of the night, where the rain stopped and what rang in my ears were small crickets and frogs…. I smelled around the night moonless forest and right there I had a felling that something wasn’t quite right.

The further we walked into the forest the more I was aware that something was going to happen at any minute.
I pushed the limp branches that hung beside the tree aside as Chris and I never let go of one another. Just on Kevin’s and Bethany’s tail we stayed close behind.

Snap! Crrrackk! I suddenly heard. I stopped. Pulling Chris to a halt. “Did you hear that?” I whispered. Chris didn’t say anything but nod. Turning around, I looked all over at pitch night sky. I looked ahead to see that Kevin and Bethany walking further away, without much noticing that we were now really left behind. “kev----” I almost yelled when Chris put a hand over my mouth. “Don’t move…I just saw something.” He said. We stood still as Chris let go. I watched as Bethany and Kevin walked further and further behind. Hearing shuffles around each corner, I thought who it could be……
We probably were in the middle of a target right now. Feeling tense, I wanted so bad to just keep on walking but whenever I made the slightest move Chris kept my still by holding my hand tightly. The shuffles got closer to us and I just felt the tension in the atmosphere. “We can’t jus---” I began to say again. “shh!” Chris interrupted me again.
That’s when I saw a smallish figure come out of the darkness as it walked across our path. It was just a fox. Both Chris and I sigh in relief. I glared at Chris who looked embarrassed thinking we were in trouble. So we kept on walking.

But think again….

“Oh shit.” Chris said. As four tall dark men with guns came out and pointed them at us. “You got to be freaking kidding me.” I added.
“Well, well, well look what we have here the two people I am looking for.” Said a familiar voice. Both Chris and I turned around to see Alexander, who had both hands behind his back. “Your never going to give up are you?” I said really getting tired of seeing Alexander’s face and knowing next that we will loose again at this game.

“Aww, you miss me already?” he asked making a fake pout. “In your dreams.” I said. Alexander just merely chuckled. He walked slowly toward us. Wonder what he has behind his back?
His men in the background still pointed the guns at us which made feel like a criminal, which really it should be the other way around. “Why don’t you leave us alone Alex.” Chris said. “And let you go that easy…that wont be fair. “ Alexander added smirking at me. “You want to play a game then?” I asked. Suddenly Alexander looked at me interested. “That would be nice.” He said smoothly. “Okay then, I got one.” I said. Chris snapped his head at me as he glared at me. I knew he probably thought I was nuts but hey, it’s worth a shot. “Okay, shoot.” Alexander said. “If you let us go without any problems and give us a head start and we’re free if you don’t catch us. BUT if you do catch us…I will marry you.” I explained. “Shirley!” Chris exclaimed. “Mmmm…I like that. How did you know I was looking for a beautiful wife?” He asked. “Lucky guess…” I said. Alexander paced back and forth as he thought about the deal. Finally he agreed. Adrenaline kicked in as I waited for him to make his move. “But are you sure my dear…I don’t want to hear you complain that I catch you…” he said. “If you get us, it’s fair and square.” I said bravely. Alexander just smiled and at me and gave me a wink. Oh god…

Breaking the branches on the trees as we flitted quickly across the woods….. Chris and I, side by side would work together since 5 evil vampires were just on our tail. I would move swiftly and tried to be quiet as we dodged each tree that was in our way. So far we were winning…. I could smell the streets of New York as I felt we were just a few minutes away ready to just escape and loose Alexander and his minions. That’s when I saw it….the city lights just at me finger tips….
Just as I was about to reach the line of freedom Alexander appeared in my eyes and in shock I halted. Alexander’s and my body collided and we both stumble on the forests grass. NO!! So close! Chris suddenly stops as he looked back. “GO!” I yelled and he stood there not wanting to leave me. But there was no time for good manners. “GO! CHRIS GO!” I said. He didn’t budge at any moment the rest of Alex’s men would come and take us back in the mansion. Alexander chuckled and grabbed a hold of me. “Tag you it.” He whispered in my era. I growled as he pulled me close to his body. Chris was like a statue and just inches away to just reach the streets. What was he waiting for?
He walked back and toward Alexander. He looked madly upset as we went over with his bare fangs and just like that he flitted over and pushed him off of me. Once I was free, I yelled Chris’s name and the two were in battle. I turned around to run but was stop when finally the other’s reach them. Then I thought about Kevin…..where the hell was he?
They either smiled or laughed at my helplessness, but they shouldn’t be mistaken since I’m a woman. One of them fired at me and I dodged it as bared my fangs. At least I’m having dessert tonight…..
It felt like I was in the civil war. We were all fighting to our deaths. Blood splattered here and there. Limbs flew here and there and bone crushing, head turning sounds hit my ears.
It felt like forever but only it really lasted for 30 minutes.
Knelling over and exhausted, I looked around my self. I won and blood was splattered on me. Standing up I sighed in relief and I don’t remember much but that I was just acting animalistic. I turned around to see Chris holding Alexander by his throat and lifting him up in the air. I walked over and place a hand on Chris’s shoulder. Finally when Alexander saw me he had a surprise look on his face. He didn’t think I could beat his trained men. “Let him go.” I said. Chris looked at me like I was crazy. “What?” he said. Both our fangs were still retracted and his face softens. Both of the men were beaten (Chris got worse) and angry. “Let him go Chris…” I said again softly. He finally lowers Alexander but in the end gave him a shove. He wasn’t happy that I was telling him this when he almost got killed. I stared at Alexander and even he seemed confused. “Come on…I think he won’t be bugging us tonight.” I said as I pulled Chris away from Alexander. We turned our backs to Alexander who stood there amazed that we let him live and let us go…..
Finally we reached the streets of New York and boy did it feel good! We stayed all the time in allies so that nobody would notice us and freak out at what they see. Tired for the night we stumbled across a small motel. The front office was closed but I also saw fresh clothes behind the owner’s desk. Chris and I broke in without breaking the glass and grabbed several clothes….
Having no idea where Bethany and Kevin were (hopefully they are alive) we decided to stay together. In we crawled through the window as I turned on the lamp. The room was cute with one bed and old--- fashioned wall paper and setting. Laughing at the sight of it, I dropped the clothes
