• Chapter 4

    Josh walked over to me, and then turned me to face him. I met his eyes, with such fear in mine. He put his hands on my shoulders and looked at me. He looked a little confused. Witch made me very confused. He was going to kill me. And if he didn’t it looked like the guy over there would, he looked like he could kill both of and not care.
    “What did I say about running away? I hate to chasse my pets,” he said, his voice was smooth and calm like he wasn’t going to kill me.
    “I hardly call that a chase,” I told him, my voice was a little shaky, just like the rest of my body. “You aren’t going to ki-” this part was a whispered so only he could hear.
    He leaned down, putting his lips up to my ears I could fell his icy breath flow out it made me shutter. “No,” he whispered to soft for the guy to hear, I could barley hear him myself. I once again tried to calm down. He baked me up again, his hands still on my shoulders, to where we once where before I ran. His face wasn’t as serous anymore, it looked more deceitful. He turned me around to face the man and letting go of my shoulders, but grabbed my arm tightly.
    He looked at the man and so did I. the silence made me more nervous.
    “Well if I kill her, I might go… crazy and you could get killed to. I mean if you could smell what I can, hear what I do…” he let his voice drift off. “And what would I be if I killed more people then necessary?”
    The man thought for a moment, “So you worry about what you are in people’s eyes? Ha! I doubt that’s true,” He scoffed.
    “Alright so if both of you are going to get killed, you don’t mind being first, do you?”
    I didn’t think Josh was really going to kill him. The grip he had on my arm loosened. After a moment I couldn’t fell his cool hand at all. I turned my head to look at him, to see if something was wrong. But he wasn’t there. I turned back to see the man but Josh had him pined down to the ground. The sword was out of site. It was easy to see he wasn’t planning on hurting him. I looked around trying to find out what happened.
    “Now, now you must have known what you where getting into when you found me. You of all people should know not to trust us,” Josh threatened.
    The man didn’t reply.
    “Let’s make a deal,” Josh offered “I let your life slide and you leave us both alone. If you do see one of us and approach us you won’t be as lucky” he said.
    I steeped closer. To try and see what the man was so scared of.
    “Rhiannon don’t get any closer” Josh warned me, his voice was shaky. “I don’t want you to get hurt, I am trying to resist killing him, and I don’t know if I could stop myself form killing you,” he still sounded shaky and unsteady he didn’t even turn his head to look at me. He just keeps his head down. But I started walking around them very slow, and cautious. I made it to where his head was.
    “Please back away!” his voice was cold and serous, as he put his head lower down so his hair covered his face.
    I bent down and reached out to him, I put my hand on his chin and pushed his head up. He didn’t fight it he looked at me. His eyes where brilliant, blood red, filled with worry and shame, he opened his mouth going to say something, but I removed my hand from his face, quick. His teeth didn’t look normal, the two fangs hanging form his mouth scared me more then anything had today. I stood up and backed away, just as he told me to do earlier, but I was too stupid to do. He closed his mouth as soon as he realized what happened.
    He got up and ran over to a tree; once again I couldn’t see him move until he stopped. He faced the tree, leaving me to talk to his back “I’m sorry … it was just… never mind. Go back to the house…” He turned around and opened his mouth so I could see his teeth. They weren’t long anymore they looked fine, but his eyes where a scarlet instead of blood red.
    I didn’t move, except my eyes to his new position. “Are you ok now?” I asked. My feet told me to start running back to the house and so did my head, but I didn’t. I wanted to stay and finger things out.
    The man rose to his feet. He looked around trying to find his sword I assumed, but once he figured out it was pretty much gone he pulled out another sword and turned to me. “Leave now, make a monster happy” he said sarcastically.
    “Why would I want to make you happy?” I replied.
    He looked at me with anger and turned back to Josh with his sword in ready stance again. “Tell her to leave, she don’t need to see this…”
    Josh walked around the man, slowly making his way over to me. He wrapped his arms around my hips; his eyes met my gaze, still a glowing red. “He is right, you shouldn’t have to see this… you have seen a lot more then I wished. And then is no need to add to the list.”
    “I want to stay… you need to explain this stuff to me. I don’t under stand this and-” he cut me off
    “I promise I will explain everything back at the house once I am done here, but only if you leave now.” He tried to persuade me
    “Alright I will go back to the house and have to explain this to me,” I gave into his deal as he released me.
    I started to walk back to the house but I could still hear a little of there conversation.
    “You seemed so clear that you where coming back to her.”
    “Why wound I lie? I am going back to her.” Josh answered
    The man replied something but I was too far to hear the words it was a soft jumble of words. It seemed like a longer walk home. But I finally made it.
    It was about noon, I was gone about an hour or so. Ryan was out by his truck still unloading things, I started to help him picking up a box but I didn’t know where he wanted it. “Hay dad where do you want this one?” I asked walking closer so he could see the box and might have a clue what was in side.
    “Just set it inside with the rest of them,” he told me.
    I started walking inside, the door was open. Ryan had been going in and out so much he shut off the air conditioner, and opened all the windows. I saw a bunch of boxes all over the room and our table with the four chars scattered along with them. I set the box among the others. I made my way to the table making a path that so I could drag it into the dinning room. I tilted it on two legs and pulled it into the spot I wanted. I went back and got the chairs. I Arranged them how I thought looked nice. It also made some more room for boxes in the living room.
    I walked back out side and my “dog” was getting pet my dad. I was so happy he made it home. “Josh you came back,” I almost yelled.
    My dad was confused; he looked around not knowing who Josh was. “Oh, you named the dog Josh, I thought someone was here,” he said almost laughing.
    “Yep, I named him Josh. Do you like the name or did you want a dog name?”
    “No I think Josh is fine,”
    Josh walked over to me and I petted him. “Hay dad do you think I could take Josh into town and get some paint my room?” I asked. This was he could explain what happened, and I could get something done.
    “Yah, that’s a good idea, what color do you think you will be getting?” he asked
    “I was thinking of painting the walls black and then splattering neon colors over it or vice versa.”
    “That sounds good,” he held out a list for me to take, and I did “do you think you could get these colors to?”
    I looked at the list…

    Dark Blue
    White
    Um… anything that matches that.
    “Wow those colors will be so hard to find,” I said sarcastically.
    “Yes, there one of a kind” he said then laughed a little.
    “I will be back in an hour or two it depends if I get lost or not, love yah”
    “Alright… oh you might want the keys to the truck first” he reached into his pocket and tossed the keys at me. I cough them in one hand.
    “Thanks love you”
    “Love you to.”
    I walked over to the passenger’s side and opened it for Josh. He jumped into the truck and sat on the seat, looking out the wind shield. Shut the door and walked over to the drivers side and opened the door and got in. I shut the door and backed out of the driveway.
    Once we where down the rode and we couldn’t see my house any more “okay, start explaining”
    I stared at the road then where my dog was. In his place was the more human Josh. But he was still not human.
    “I can’t talk when I am a dog, and ok what do you want to know first?”
    “What are you?” I asked
    “If I tell you, you can’t tell anyone. No one thinks I am real.”
    “Okay, I won’t tell and I won’t laugh.”
    “And you can’t scream either.”
    “Tell me, I will not scream.”
    “I am a…” His voice was soft and quiet as he shook his head.
    “Come on, it can’t be that bad.”
    “But it is. Do you remember some Halloween stories?”
    “Well to a point” I told him, I was really wondering where this was going
    “Ok, but you don’t believe in monsters and stuff, do you?”
    “No… where is this going? Halloween is like a month away”
    “Well most monsters are real, like werewolves, and pixies and me… I am a vampire…”
    I could have sworn that my heat skipped a beat when he said vampire “You’re not joking either…” it wasn’t a question “the teeth, the fangs, the eyes. You can’t be joking.”
    “Are you okay? And not all of us are like the books” he said
    “Yah… I think I will be fine. So if you’re not like the books, tell me what are you like?”
    “Yes I do have to kill, but only so I can live. We all have much better senses then you do, hearing smell, taste, and sight” He explained.
    “Your hands where cold, very cold, almost ice”
    “Yes we are all very cold. We have no heart beat so we don’t have any body heat to keep warm”
    “So do you fell cold all the time, not to others but to yourself?”
    “No, I don’t fell cold to myself.”
    I made it to the hardware store and parked. We both got out not really saying anything. We walked through the parking lot still not talking. There wasn’t really anything to say and I was trying to make sense of all this. Once we entered the building the smell of fresh cut wood and paint wrapped around us.
    Josh’s face lit up completely excited. He ran over to a blond girl and hugged her; she hugged him back as I walked closer to them. Josh stood next to her his arm around her shoulder. She looked at me curiously; like every one seemed to do.
    “You’re hanging out with a…?” she asked him
    Josh cut her off “she’s a friend. Rhiannon this is Breanne, Breanne this is Rhiannon.”
    I smiled kind of nervous,” Hi,” this is outward meeting his girlfriend. I thought
    “No not like that, she’s a friend, too. Gosh you to assume things about others way to fast” He answered my thought as he lifted his hand off her shoulder, and put it to his side.
    “Hello, nice to meat you Rhiannon, is it?”
    I nodded so she could finish,
    “I have herd talk about some people moving into the old Smith house, but I was unaware the news was true.” Breanne said. She spoke so graceful, pronouncing every word correctly.
    “Yes,” I wasn’t sure what to say.
    “Well I have to get her back soon we better be on our way,” Josh told Breanne as he grabbed my hand and pulled me away. “Sorry about that, I don’t see her often” He apologized.
    “No, no it’s fine. She seemed nice.” I told him as he let go of my hand and we both walked to the paint. I picked up two cans of black. Hoping it would be enough.
    “What neon colors do you want?”
    “Uh… green, blue and orange, that should be good” I said noticing that we didn’t have enough hands to carry it all, “let me get a cart to put this stuff in,” I told him as a ran off to grab one. I was back in a minuet pushing a cart along with me.
    “Yah that’s better, to much stuff…” he said looking at the five cans of paint we had, plus the colors that my dad wanted me to get. We started to fill that cart with the colors. I picked up dark blue and wight, and I put them in that cart with the rest.
    “That should do for now” I said as we walked off with the cart to pay for it. We unloaded the cart and I paid for it with cash. We keep having silences between things and it was driving me nuts. I just assumed that he could turn on and off the mind reading because he never said anything. Once we got into the truck I diced to ask some more questions.
    “You know the man we met with in the forest… what happened to him?” I asked
    “I don’t think you need to know what happened to him…” he told me as he looked down.
    “Yes I think I need to know, tell me what you did” I demeaned.
    “Hum… well… I kind…” he keep stopping to think on how to say it “I… ok this isn’t going to sound right… but to put it in less violent words, I gave him a kiss… dose that make sense?” he tried o explain.
    “No. It doesn’t… why would you kiss him?” I asked
    He sighed and grabbed one of my hands off the steering weal, “not like this” he said then he brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it lightly, “more like this…” He said. He didn’t do anything so I looked over at him and his eyes where bright red, and his teeth where fangs. He started razing my hand up to his open mouth, and I freaked out. I tried to rip my hand from his but he was still much stronger. He brought my hand closer to his teeth, then he stopped, and let go of my hand.
    “Sorry” He began “I got a little out of hand there… I couldn’t help it….” He said looking down again.
    “Well I got the concept there, and I guess its fine…” I was going to say something but he was my dog again, and he could no longer speak in a way that I could understand. I sighed… “Can you read minds when you’re a dog?” I asked him, and looked to him for a response.
    He nodded yes.
    My thoughts are no longer privet…
    Nope, he thought and I could hear him. I freaked out a little, but he just keeps amazing me.
    How can you do that? I asked him
    I just think what I want you to hear and you can hear it, but only what I want you to hear. You don’t have full access to my head like I do to your’s, He thought
    You can read everything in my head even if I’m not thinking about it?!
    Yep
    I sighed, “Can you turn the mind reading thing on and off, like only read my mind when you want to?” I asked out loud.
    Yes, it would be a pain if I had to read every one’s mind… to many thoughts to even hear.
    “That’s good that you don’t have to lesson to all that, can you do anything elites? Not like what you can already do isn’t amazing… just wondering?”
    I can shape shift into almost anything what to see?
    “Yah, why not?” I told him, looking over to see a black cat instead of my dog.
    “Aw you’re so cute,” I told him.
    If I would have known you liked cats, I would have changed into a cat instead of a dog, do you what me to run away and you can fide a cat? He asked.
    “No, I like big dogs. So you did well there, but I am just guessing at that moment of time you didn’t finish going thou my head?” I asked.
    At that time no but I am almost done now, Like I know you like me when I look human more then when I am an animal, but you think I am cuter as an animal… your mind is very complex. I can’t under stand some things; your head is a little cluttered and there is a lot init, not so much school stuff, but there is a lot. I have been living for a million yeas and I would hate to have so much clutter in my head-
    “You’re a million years old?!” I cut him off
    No, only like five hundred we don’t age like humans. He explained
    “So when do you die?” I asked
    He sighed in his mind we don’t out of natural causes. Someone has to inject silver into our heart for us to die…
    “Oh, ok that’s good information to know” I replied to him.
    Like you could do it, we would kill you before you even got that close
    “Alright, I can’t kill you and we are almost home and I went the long way so you better become my dog again,” I told him as I turned onto my rode. I wouldn’t want to kill you anyways but you know that, you know everything thou. I thought to him.
    He was my pet dog again, and I stroked his head down to his back. His short hair was soft. But I put my hand back on the steering weal to pull into the driveway. I stalled for a moment and pulled out the keys. I got out and let Josh out, looking at the sky. It was getting darker by the minute, and the sun was almost completely behind the horizon. I grabbed a few cans of paint and Josh nudged my leg with his nose, I looked down at him.
    Put a can in my mouth, your dad will get a kick out of that.
    I giggled a little, and put a handle of a pain can into his mouth as he told me to. We walked in the door and my dad did enjoy the sight of Josh helping.
    “Gosh Rhiannon you had him a little less then a day and he is already helping out around the house,” he said laughing a little.
    “Yah he is very smart, and he is great company. Sorry it was a little longer of a trip that I though it would I got lost, but I found my way home” I lied.
    “Well as long as you made it home,” he said.
    “Yah, I am going to get the rest of the pain, hold on,” I explained as I set the cans down, Josh did the same. I walked out and I grabbed one can and put it in Josh’s mouth and then I tried to grab two in one hand and one on the other, it thru me off balance a little but I managed to get into the door and set them down before I fell over. Josh was right behind me again.
    “So Rhiannon do you want to order out or make dinner?” Ray asked.
    “Considering we don’t have any food to make dinner with, let’s order,” I told him picking up the phonebook form one of boxes. “What do you want pizza or Chinese?” I asked.
    “Pizza lets get a large. Do you want anything on it?” Dad asked.
    “No, I will order” I told him as I flipped thru the phone book a found a place close by that would deliver. I picked up the phone and ordered one large pizza. “I will be up in my room in till pizza gets here.” I told him as I started walking up the stairs as Josh fallowed.
    I closed the door behind him and lay on my bed. Josh changed into his human form and lay on top of me. “What are you doing?” I asked him
    “What, you liked it when I was a dog?” He said.
    “Because I thought you where a dog, now that you’re not a dog it’s weird”
    He sighed and got off me. “Do you want to know what its like to be bit?” he asked sitting next to me on the bed
    “Maybe I would like to know, but if you bit me wouldn’t I become a vampire?” I asked
    “Only if I inject venom into you… ” He said looking at me as I sat up and crossed my feet. “So can I?” He asked leaning toads me opening his mouth a little showing his fangs getting ready to bite.
    “Uh…-” I started
    “Rhiannon pizzas here, come and get it before it gets cold,” Dad yelled form down stairs. Josh leaned away still looking at me.
    “That will have to wait,” I told Josh “Coming Dad,” I yelled back to him. I got up and walked to the door Josh was a dog again so I opened it and walked down to the kitchen. He had the box open and two plats set out. I grabbed one and put a piece on it, I fingered Josh wanted to eat something, but I looked around and I didn’t see him. Didn’t he fallow me? I thought.
    No I am lying on your bed, want me to come down? He asked.
    Only if you want to, either way you still hear what we are talking about. I told him.
    That’s true, I might as well. He said as he walked into to the kitchen. He walked up to me and gave me puppy eyes. He was a dog so he pulled it off really easy. You will give the dog your pizza… he thought to me, and I laughed a little
    “Here” I ripped off a smaller piece of pizza and gave it to him. He ate it all in there bits
    “Rhiannon are you sure you should have given him that pizza?” Dad asked.
    “Yah he a can eat people food, just don’t let him eat too much,” I told him as I ripped another piece and bit into it. “I don’t think he would like dog food it smells bad so it must taste bad…” I explained as I sat over at the table.
    Josh walked over and lay on the couch that Ryan had brought in when we went to get paint I assumed. It looked like he was sleeping but I knew he wasn’t, he was just lessoning.
    “But he’s a dog, he needs dog food.” Dad said sitting across from me at the table
    Believe me no he doesn’t… “I will see what I can do,” I told him.
    Just get the dog food and throw it away I’m not eating that… Josh told me.
    Dad’s eyes started to get a little droopy and I knew he was getting tiered. I ate the rest of my pizza and put the dishes in the sink. “Dad I think I am going to go to bed” even thou I wasn’t tiered.
    “Night Rhiannon, see you on the morning”
    Josh got up of the couch and started walking up stairs.
    “Ok night,” I replied as I started walking up stairs after Josh you stay in the bathroom wile I change into some PJs.
    Alright, he replied as he walked into the bathroom
    I walked into my room and changed into a tank top and some sweat pants, you can come in now, I told him.
    He walked into the room and I shut the door. He changed into his human form and sat on my bed, “did you come up with an answer yet?” he asked a little impassion.
    “Well… no, can I sleep on it?” I asked him
    He sighed, “Yah.”
    I turned off the lights and walked over to the bed and lay down, next to him. He changed into a dog and lay at my feet.

    The net morning I woke up from the sun shining in my eyes. I tried to pull one hand out from the covers but something was laying over it separated by the blankets. I didn’t know what it was a first, I had to try to see what it was so I turned my head and opened my eyes, and Josh’s arm was laying over me holding me close to him. I sighed and blinked slowly. He lifted his arm up and I rolled over to face him “why are you human?” I asked and holding me?
    He opened his eyes slowly and still sleepy “you wouldn’t stop tossing and turning so the only way I could get you to stay still was to hold you still,” He explained.
    “Sorry, I didn’t sleep to good…”
    “It’s ok. What was it, a bad dream?” he asked
    “Yes but its fine.”
    “It was only a dream it wasn’t real.”
    “Yah I know. Do you want to get some breakfast?” I asked him as I got out of bed.
    “Might as well” he said as I opened the door and my pet dog came running out and I fallowed him slowly. Dad was already eating some left over pizza.
    “Morning Dad,” I told him as I moved toads the cold pizza lying on the counter from last night.
    “Morning Rhiannon how was your night?” He asked and then had a bit of pizza
    “It was nice,”
    “That’s good, where did Josh sleep?” he asked as he had another bit of pizza
    “At my feet, I didn’t notice he was there really…” I said as I opened the pizza box, there where a few pieces left.
    . I sat down across form Dad as Josh walked under the table and lay on my feet.
    “What do you want to do today?” Dad asked finishing his pizza.
    Where going for a walk… Josh told me
    Where? “Josh and I are going for a walk, is it ok?”
    You will have to see for your self.
    “I am not sure where, maybe a park or something, see if I can make a friend”
    Liar, Josh told me
    “That sounds great, just no bringing home boys,” Dad said.
    Shut it… “Alright, that sounds like a deal, I am going to get dressed” I said as I had a bite of pizza.
    Josh walked up the stairs, waiting for me to fallow.
    “Okay, tell me when your leaving,” Dad said as I got up from the table.
    I walked up the stairs almost force feeding myself the rest of the pizza. Pleas get in the bathroom so I can-
    I know, I know Josh said as he walked into the bathroom.
    I walked into my room, and shut the door. I put some jeans on, and a green top. I opened the door and he was standing there waiting,
    You might want to brush that mop living on your head…
    Why what’s wrong?
    There where no mirrors in my room yet so I walked into the bathroom and it was a living mop “Holy…” My hair looked like it was all knots and tangles. But when I put the brush in it slid thro pretty quick with out to much trouble. It was just standing up and frizzy not to many tangles.
    I was almost done when Josh walked in, what did you do last night that made you jump around so much? He asked as he looked at me.
    I was in the forest, running form… something I don’t remember. It was really real feeling, and I guess I freaked out to much. I told him as I finished my hair and walked back into my room to put some shoes on.
    Josh fallowed me you know it was only a dream, he said
    I grabbed a pare of socks and slipped them on real quick, “you ready to go?” I asked.
    He barked.
    I assumed it was a yes. I opened the door and we both walked out and down to the living room. “We are leaving now,” I told dad as I slipped shoes on.
    “Ok be back soon, love you,” he said
    “Kay, love you too.”
    Josh and I walked out the door. It was cool not enough for a jacket thou. We walked to the forest behind my house and he was human again.
    “You know being a dog isn’t that bad, but it’s different. I have never been an animal so much in a few days,” he told me as we walked deeper into the forest.
    “Really? Of cores all of this is different to me,”
    “I know you have some questions do you what to ask them or just have them answered?”
    “Just answer them, I will listen” we where walking quickly.
    “Alright, well being a vampire isn’t that bad, you have to get used to the diet though. No I can’t fly. Normally we can’t turn into bats, but because I am a shape shifter I can. We don’t go crazy on a full moon”
    “Alright, so how dose the venom work?” I asked
    “Well if one us bites you and puts venom in your blood you will be turned into a vampire and if some one drinks all your blood it’s a slow and painful death.”
    “Alright, so I take that there are more vampires then just you?”
    “Yah the world is full of us, you just can’t tell because we act like humans. Going to school, getting jobs, it’s all an act.”
    “Hum… we are walking really far out ware are we going?”
    “Well I was wondering if you would like to see where I live?” he asked
    “Yah I would love to see, is it way out here?”
    “A litter farther, but you might need to know some thing, I have a brother and he isn’t as… tame as me…”
    “What do you mean by tame?” I asked.
    “Well… I am somewhat tame. I can be near people and not kill them, like now. But for him it’s a litter harder so don’t touch him and don’t get to close. He knows not to kill but he dose bite. So be careful and let him get used to your smell, okay?”
    “Yah, I’ll just give him his space” I told him.
    He nodded and smiled, “We’re almost there so let me tell him your coming. You stay here for not and let me go ahead, I will be right back.” He said. Then he ran off. I stopped walking. It seemed like we walked for an hour, maybe a half mile out in the middle of nowhere. I could barely see the house, all I could see was a light though the window and maybe the out line of a house. It seemed fairly big maybe two stories. That was all I could make out before he was back. “That was quick,”
    He smiled and laughed a little, “come on lets go” he said as we walked closer.
    I could tell it was a good size house two stories with a flat roof. The porch to get to the door stretched form one side to the house to the other. There where few windows across the tan sandy looking walls. “What’s a beautiful house doing way out here?” I asked as we walked up the steps to the door.
    “Well I had to pull a few strings to get it out here, but I did. I found if you can read peoples minds and get them what they want you can get anything.” He explained as he opened the door.
    The inside was even better it was a painted a light brown, the furnisher was white and placed round a fire place with a large T.V over it. On the sofa was another guy about our age also. He had long brown hair and his eyes where an even darker brown, almost black. He was looking over the back of the sofa at me. He stood up and walked a few steeps closer. He looked me over, studding me.
    I didn’t move but Josh walked in the middle of the gap that separated his brother form me. “Matthew, this is Rhiannon. Rhiannon this is Matthew,” he introduced.
    “Hello,” I greeted him unsure of what to do.
    He looked at Josh and then at me then at him again. I fingered that they where having a conversation, like the ones we had. He looked over me again “Hello,” he replied. “What have you gotten your self into?” he asked. Matthew took a few more steeps closer, only breathing though his nose.
    “What?” I asked not sure what he was talking about.
    Matthew smiled, “You’re in a house of vampires.” He took a few more steeps, passing Josh and slowly closing the gap between us.
    It was making me nervous, but just a little. “I know,” I told him.
    Josh was watching him and me. Matthew turned his head over to look at Josh, then at me.
    “You have to ask her,” Josh told him.
    When Matthew looked back at me his eyes where glowing red, “can I try something?” he asked steeping a little closer.
    I took a few steeps back. I didn’t relies how close I was to the wall. “That depends on what it is,” I told him. I looked over at Josh, what is he doing? I asked.
    Relax he isn’t going to kill you, but I told you… he bites Josh told me.
    I could fell my heat beat harder and faster with fear; I was probably shaking a little I couldn’t tell.
    Matthew stepped closer, and closer. In till he was only a foot away, “Can I bite you?” he asked. He got closer in till he was only inches away. He wrapped his arms around me like he was hugging me but he was pinning my arms to my side. “Pleas… I’m curios” he sounded so innocent.
    I was shocked that he asked me that, but I was even more shocked that Josh was going to let him. I looked over Matthew’s shoulder at Josh are you really going to let him do this? I asked.
    Only if you say he can, he replied.
    Matthew looked at me again with his glowing eyes and hugged me a little tighter “Pleas?” he asked.
    I looked up at him “uh…I guess its fine …” I told him.
    He smiled showing fangs instead of teeth “Thanks” he told me as he pushed my hair back behind my shoulders. He leaned his head down to my neck.
    I could fell his icy breath and it made the hairs on my arms stand up. I couldn’t see what he was doing but I could fell where his skin touched mine, it was so cold and helped me calm down a little. I closed my eyes. I felt his teeth dig into my skin, it made me flinch. It was like getting your blood taken by long sharp cold needles, but five times the pain. It seemed like an endless moment of pain for me and enjoyment for him. I tried to pull free one of my arms after a minute but he hugged tighter. He wasn’t going to let it end if he had any say in the matter.
    Josh… pleas… can you help? I asked him. I could hear foot steeps come closer and Matthew pulled his teeth out of my neck, and I started to fell sleepy. I opened my eyes, they felt kind of droopy.
    Matthew was looking at me eyes still red and brighter then before. His teeth and lips where stained with blood. “Thank you,” he said again. “But I should have told you something… my fangs are covered in this type of poison… not deadly but it makes what ever I bite fall asleep.”
    I blinked slowly trying to focus on his face but I couldn’t “yah, I can tell… but if you told me before I probably wouldn’t have let you do it … nice job.” I told him, as I blinked again. I keep them open in till they fell shut and I couldn’t open them. I became limp in his arms witch where still wrapped around me.
    “Set her on the couch” I herd Josh say
    I felt him pick me up and lay me down, “you know it’s an offensive still so I can finish off my pray, can I?” he asked Josh.
    There was a waking sound “No!? Why would you even ask that?!” Josh said
    I couldn’t hear what Matthew said back, but I think it was something like “why didn’t you tell her I could to that?” Then everything was mumbles
