It is dark. And it feels like the world around me is closing in and each breathe gets harder to take. I feel my body tremble and I can't scream for help. As i float in this empty black hole I see a faint light and i try to make my way to it. Yet every time I get close I wake up in a puddle of sweat. I check my clock. It's only 118. I rose from the blankets like i do every morning at this exact time to clean myself off. As i stare at the bathroom mirror I brush my long blond hair away from my eyes. I see my mothers eyes every time I look Into the mirror. She gave me these bright green eyes that most envy.

Once I Finished cleaning my face and pulling my hair up i am able to relax and lay back down. I stare at my ceiling. Listening to the wind blowing branches against the house. And Cars passing by on the street below. Today I have 3 weeks til my birthday. Another something to celebrate alone. But i don't feel on it. I roll over to glance at my parents photo before closing my eyes for the night.

"Although I dont remember you... I miss you..." I whisper as a tear falls from my eye.

After waking and getting ready for school like i do every morning our house mother calls me and the other girls to the front door for a house meeting. Molly Jean grabs ahold of my arm and i see her smile so bright it blinds me.

"Good morning Freya! Did you sleep well?" she asks like she did every morning. I shrug and turn to Miss Walters pretending to pay attention. I dont like to speak to people. Cuz If i stay away and have no one they can never leave me. Horrible logic I know but it makes me feel better.

"Good morning ladies. Today Is a very special day. Today Is Miss Cathrines 18th birthday so today after school we shall all meet here to have her going away party so do not be late. " Walters says with a grin." Okey be safe and head to school. Don't dilly dally!"

I forgot. When i turn 18 I am forced out of the house. That way there is more room for the other orphan children. So i work part time while in school to save money for my own place. i have just enough for a place by my school. It isnt much but enough to get me by while i finish school and head to college. I have straight A' s so i could get a scholarship because being im alone I can't afford it on my own.

We walk to school. All 15 girls. Molly Jean and me are in the same class. Miss Walters likes us to walk together because we have a few kids with us and it is safer that way. We dont live far but far enough where we have to leave a hour before classes even start.

Finally we make it to school and everyone seperated to their own areas. I head to the library. I take a walk to the isle i was working on next. I was on the W's. I have read almost every bookin this library. I spend mornings, homeroom, and lunch here. It is like a second home. And no one usually comes in here.

I grab my book and head to the table in the back i always sit at. As i approach it I feel a tug on my bag. I turn to find a guy leaning against one of the shelves. He is tall and pale. Scary yet Handsome. He doesn't say anything to me. For a moment we just stare. I assume it was a mistake but he smirks and yanks me to him grabbing my wrists hard. He pins me to the books. I try to yell but he shoves his lips to mine to keep me quiet. How could he take my first kiss!

Anger built up. I didn't know him and yet I HATE him. All of a sudden I felt myself get really hot and he is thrown acrossed the room. The lights fade and i fall to the Ground and lights turn dark. Before i black out i see him walking twords me.

The light is shining through the curtains. As it peers through I slowly open my eyes. O find myself in a dark room I have never seen before. I search my thoughts for what happened. But all i rememebr is that man. I stare around the room searching for another person hiding. I am alone.

I get up from the bed weak and cold. My clothes have blood on them and my bad is gone. I head to the large double doors that lead to where i assume is my escape. As i reach for the knob it turns. I jump back afraid of what shall come through those doors. As the door inches open i see the man walk through with a plate. His eyes widen as he notices me standing before him. I take a step back. I dont know where i am but i know it is because of him. He can't be trusted. His shock turns to delight. His smile brings warmth to the room. I still didn't trust him.

"I see you have waken up?" he says as he closes the door behind him and walks to the bed I was in. He lays the tray on the end table."you had me worried!".

I get angry. " i had YOU worried? You brought me here. You did this to me! I want to go home where am i?" I yell! He slowly turns around and walks to the windows without saying a word. He glances at me as he passes by. He opens the curtains. Light fills the room. I can see him clearly. I can see a cut on his lip. Did i do that?

"What is ur name? " I ask quietly.

"Lester...and you are Freya Marks. Daughter of Josiah and Kimberly Marks. "he turns and his face changes. He seems more angry. How did he know who i am? who my family is?

" you turn 18 here soon don't you? " he walks to me. unbuttoning his shirt. He smirks. I dart for the door and he snaps and it locks. I turn around and he pins me.

"When you turn 18 Freya You will forever be mine." his shirt is now completely off. He kisses me hard. I want to pull away. What did he mean forever his? Yet why did i want him to touch me more? His touch was like fire over my skin. He pulls away. He stares into my eyes and his face softens. " why are you not fighting?" he brushes my hair from my face.

I am not sure why i wasn't fighting. I wanted him and that is all I knew at that moment. I stared back into his eyes. Grey. beautiful.

I start to undo my school uniform. His eyes widen and he smiles. But he stops my hands.

" Isn't this what you wanted? " I asked. because i do!

" why are you not fighting? answer me and I'll give you what you want. But be honest? " he said ask he moves my hands and starts to unbutton my shirt himself. My face was getting hotter. I had to have him. it's like i am drawn to him.

" I am not sure why... but... I need you. I need your touch. please..." I grab his face. " don't stop touching me."

He is in shock. She really wants me? Does she know of our bond? She cant know? But i want her too. I need her body and kiss. I have never felt such passion or flame.

He kisses me hard yet gentel. He picks me up and takes me to the bed. slowly after removing all our clothing. He makes love to me. Amazing sweet hot love. And i wish it never ended.

I woke up asleep on his chest. His heart at a steady pace. His warm skin against my naked body. Us tangled in the covers. I lay there.

My eyes snap open... what the hell just happened??? where am i???! I jump up and try to find my clothes. How could I do that. He kidnapped me. What is going on? I felt his hand grab me and pull me back.

Half awake he kissed me and says" are you okey? what's wrong?" I push him away. He sits up.

" Huff" he says. I sit trying to cover myself woth the sheets. even though he has seem and touched everything." you want answers? " I nod.

" why..." I can't find the words. His eyes burn a whole through to my heart. it's so intense. I look away. He grabs my had.

She is shacking! I guess she doesnt know. She is so cute and sweet. I just wanna hold her and tell her everything is okey. I need to protect her.

I watch him read me. He grabs his shirt and hands it to me and examines me as I put it on.

"Freya? Are you okey?" he asks. He seems to really care.

I nod yes. " I'm just confused?" I said." why did we..." he interrupts me...

" make love?" he runs his hand through his hair. " me and you freya are bond together. Born to be one. I know that sounds weird but it is true. anything u would like to know i will tell you. Just ask me." he sits against the head board. And we talk for what seems like hours.

He tells me my parents were killed and hid me. They were part of the Vampire Covent and because they did not agree to our bond and an enraged marriage with my family they left. My mother was the most powerful vampire and my father was human. But she kept it secret. That's why they hid me. I would have been killed if they found out. Lester found me one day when i was younger and followed me for years but also notices other vamps following me. Ones who wanted to hurt me. So he took me to his home whic is protected. He wants to protect me he said. No matter what.

After I heard everything i felt a bit better. But all i could think about was him. How ling would this lust make me want him? Because I did infact want him so bad.

"are you okey?" I nodded "it is alot to take in huh?" I nodded again. I watched his lips move. I crawled to him. not breaking eye contact. His hand pressed against my cheek. I kiss him. His lips seperate and his tongue meets mine.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

He pushes me up and tells me to be quiet. And hide but it was too late. An older man walks on with guard around him.

Lester jumps up "Father!!!"

I dont move. His fathers eyes are glued on me.

He motions for the guards to me and they snatch me from the bed and my sheets fall. I am completely exposed. I cry. "please" i scream. Lester runs to me and breaks on of the guards arms. He is so quick i barley seen him. " Let her go!" He screams.

He apologises to me and grabs the sheet. He wipes my tears from my face and puts me behind him.

" You dare disobey your father? The King! All for this human girl?" his father furious. flames in his eyes.

I feel Lester grab onto my arm and grips it tight.

" She is the Mark's daughter and she is HALF human Father. We are bonded. You know the Law. Leave her be! " His fathers face snaps to me. He walks closer. Tears fill his eyes.

He nods and heads out.

" I expect to see you both at dinner. We have alot to discuss. And Miss Marks. I sincerely apologize." then he left. He still looked angry.

Lester flus around checkong my body. " Freya my love... Are you okey? Are you hurt." I see tears fill his eyes.

How could I do this to her. She could ha e been killed. it is all my fault!

I put my hand on lesters face. He looks at me.

" I'm okey Lester. Relax We are fine." How can i not know this man yet feel such love for him. All i know is I can never leave him. I must keep him safe.

We dress in silence for the most part. I can still see the fear in his eyes.

He finishes before me and sits at the edge of the end waiting i suppose. I am half dressed and i cant finish cuz all i want to do it take his pain away. I walk to him.

"Lester?" he looks up at me.

"Yes freya?" he responds.

The only words the could leave my mouth were " I love you." I had never said it before and tears started to fall. I love him. And it sound's crazy. But i did. it hurt me to see him hurt.

He grabbed me carrying his face in my chest. hugging me. I hear him say he loved me too. We held eachother for a moment and he looks up and smiles.

How can this soft beautiful creature love me? If only she knew the evil I have done. But for now I'll take it. because it may seem crazy. But i am madly inlove with Freya Marks.
