• Chapter 2
    I stayed on the opposite side of the room as Alex.
    "It can't hurt you. I swear," he was explaining his ability while I eyed him suspiciously. I walked over and touched his forehead."Concentrate only on that chair, move it with your mind," I said.
    Alex closed his eyes and focused on the chair. After a few minutes, it rose three feet into the air.
    "Whoa. How'd I do that?" he gawped.
    "I'm radiating my ability. As long as we're connected, you can do just about anything I can," I explained.
    "Oh. Cool," he said. He turned to look at me again. I stared into his bright, golden eyes. He leaned in closer to me. He took my face in his hands and brought his lips to mine.They moved together. This kiss...was so...strange. And different. Almost alien.
    Neither of us pulled away. We were too into this kiss.
    There was a knock on the door. Our eyes snapped open and Alex pulled away to go answer it. I hid. Someone hissed then yelped.
    "Here kitty, kitty. I know you're in here. I saw Alex sneak in with you. Come out or I'll beat you," Damien's voice sauntered.
    He walked to the other side of the room. He took another step and I bolted for the door. Two huge men made me stop dead in my tracks. Each one took a grip on my arms.
    Alex was squirming and thrashing about, trying to loosen the other vampires' hold. He gave up for about two seconds and tried again when he saw Damien approach me.
    Damien chuckled and brought his hand up. Alex snarled as he brought it back down. I winced. Damien slapped me across the face and I hissed weakly. He ripped off my shirt and motioned for the others to turn me around.
    They brought Alex so that his face was inches from mine.
    Something struck my back and I let out a yelp. The thing struck me again. Alex hissed menacingly and bit the two that were gripped him. They yelped and let him go. He launched himself at Damien, tackling him to the ground.
    The other two men dove into the fight. Alex dodged the punches they threw at him, and kicked them away. He dug his fangs into Damien's neck and started to rip it out.
    He was covered in blood by the time he was finally pulled off of Damien. But Damien didn't move. He was dead.
