Chapter 3- Evangeline Dawn

"Uh, knock knock?" I enquirer at the shed door. I heard shuffling and then a crash within. I rushed in to find Fabian amongst a few collapsed shelves. I sighed and crouched next to him to help him into a comfortable position. He closed his eyes for what seemed like an eternity and I held my breath. I couldn't help but stare at his perfectly sculpted face. I know, I know. Total cliche. Cheesy main character falls for hot vampire lord. But I now know how they feel, he was totally breathtaking. I would die for flawless skin like that which, I assume, he did.

His eyes snapped open again all of a sudden and I fell backwards. Then tripped. Then fell on my ***. I would've made an attempt to get up but before I could Fabian was looming over me, hand outstretched. I hesitantly took it. The moment we made contact I felt a rush, prying feeling. I snatched my hand away. "What the hell was that?" I wasn't stupid, I knew about vampires. This had to be some sort of power he had. He sighed. "What are you hiding?" His blunt, to-the-point tone left no room for denial. I thought about the mysterious guy who, I could only assume, was also a vampire. I was conflicted. Should I tell Fabian? I mean, why not? But there was something inside me that told me not to.

"It's nothing." I sighed and tossed his arm at him. It fell into his lap and he stared at it blankly for a second. Not gonna lie, I was worried that I had retrieved the wrong arm. After a few seconds he closed his eyes and let out a laugh so soft it could just have been breath. Then he turned to me and again I saw another side to him. "I'm sorry, I should've known." He bowed. "Please forgive my selfishness." Ok so I am pretty experienced at forming basic sentences. I mean, I did it all the time. So what's the problem when there's a gorgeous vampire lord bowing and asking for your forgiveness? I don't know. But what I do know is that it goes something like; "ah. Yes. That's all cool bro." Bro? That was the point at which I regretted my life the most. He just chuckled softly but that soon turned into a hideous cough. He held his mouth I assume to keep something or other in. I reached out to help him but he held his hand up. "No, leave me, I've put you through quite enough tonight" more coughing. Indecision greeted me like an old friend. He was heavily wounded. He was losing and had lost a lot of blood. He needed blood. I could give him blood and help him heal and when he was back to full strength he could repay me. But that would be dangerous. Who knew how much control he had? I was the worst at making decisions.

"Go."

Ok. Problem solved. He had decided for me. Now, usually I am not one to follow orders, but this time, there was something in his voice that gave me the chills and told me it really was best to listen to him. I took my leave. I called goodbye at the door but got no response. I trudged home, hugging myself against the cold. It really was lucky that the moon was so bright or I would have gotten immediately lost.

I heard a rustle. I whipped around to face the direction I'd heard it from. More rustling. Then the mysterious black-cad guy from earlier stepped out. Great. I had to be home in the next....... Oh shit. I was supposed to be home an hour ago! My mother was going to kill me. That was, if this guy didn't beat her to it. I swallowed. I opened my mouth to talk but shut it when he stepped closer. He raised a hand and I steeped back and shit my eyes, preparing for death. Nothing happened. I opened my eyes slowly and he was pointing to himself.

"I-I'm Ru-"

"EVANGELINE DAWN IF YOUR *** ISN'T IN HERE IN ONE SECOND IM YOU'RE GONNA NEED A NEW ONE!!". Crap. My mother. She was the best, but like every parent, protective. I looked helplessly at the guy and he just nodded. I turned and bolted into the house leaving a confused, and slightly disappointed vampire.
