Reese. That was Desiree's nickname. But no one called her that after her Mom died. Her Mom was all she had. But why did she have to die? Her Mom trained Reese to fight since she was young. Reese knew that she was no longer safe in Arkansas and she needed to leave there as soon as possible or else she'll end up like her mom. Dead. Her Mom never told her the reason why people hated them both. Reese was beautiful, attractive, smart, pale and of course, a vampire.

Humans can feel when a vampire desires them. It makes them feel the desire in return. Her Mom's voice echoed in her head. 'That's it, Reese! Trevor will like you back!' Reese thought. But being in love with a human is dangerous. Telling him your secret is even more dangerous. No matter how you hide it from him, he'll find out eventually.

Reese was shoved by another junior passing by again causing her to fall backwards and throw all of her things. Reese sighed and tried to calm herself down. 'Why do they have to be so mean?' Reese asked herself. If you wore more revealing clothes, socialize and wear make up maybe they'll stop messing with you. A voice said inside her head. But did she have to? She was already pretty and attractive even for just wearing sweats and a hoodie. But no one ever saw her. Her face was always hidden.

"You okay?" Trevor asked. Reese nodded and hid her face. She accepted Trevor's hand and he pulled her up. Trevor gathered her things and handed them to her. "Don't just let them shove you. You should try standing up for yourself. You're making them think you're weak. And I know you probably aren't." Trevor said. Trevor was curious. He wanted to see her face, her body, hear her voice, touch her skin, and capture her lip with his. "I'm Trevor, by the way. You are?" He asked. Will she reply? What will she say? "Desiree. Reese." She said, still hunging her head low. Trevor lifted her chin making her gasp. She pulled away. "I'm sorry. Must've caught you by surprise." Trevor said. He caught a glimpse of her eyes. They were blue. But a vampire's eyes could change color. Sometimes red, sometimes gold, sometimes grey or just normal. Reese walked away from Trevor. She wasn't ready yet. She didn't want him to go any further. He just knew her name, not her story.

Trevor waited for her at the gate that day he wanted to know more about her. Something inside of him craved for her. He hasn't saw her face clearly yet but he knew she was beautiful. He was attracted to her. Reese's mother was right. Reese can get any guy she likes even without putting much effort. She just needed to let them feel that she was attracted to them and then poof! They'll mirror your feelings for them. Reese reflexively turned around when she felt a hand touch her shoulder. "Reese? Sorry for startling you. Can we talk?" Trevor asked. Reese could read his mind. She can read anyone's mind in the room. Every single mind. He was thinking about her, and the things he wanted to do with her. Reese smirked. Reese pulled her hoodie down to cover her face even more. Reese nodded. Trevor motioned for her to get inside his car. Reese hopped in and tried her best to cover her face. Trevor looked at her lips. They were red, dry. He drove his car into an abandoned park. Reese opened her door and hopped out. Trevor reached for her hand. "Desiree Adamson. I like you." Trevor said and those words were all it took for Reese to show her face to him. Trevor gasped. "Why have you been hiding your face? You're beautiful, Reese. More beautiful than any other girl." Trevor said. Reese smiled. "I don't know if I'm ready to tell you this but, I'm different from everyone else. I'm dead. And I'm not human." Reese said. Reese smiled with her teeth making Trevor see her fangs. Trevor flinched. "Y-you're a....... a vampire?" His hands trembled. Reese read his mind. It was filled with regret. Reese broke down. "You regret it, don't you? Bringing me here? Confessing your feelings? If only I was human." Reese said. "It's not that, Reese. Vampires and werewolves can't be together." Trevor said. Reese furrowed her eyebrows. "A-are you saying that...?" Trevor nodded before Reese could continue. "Neither do humans and werewolves. If you thought I was human earlier and didn't care then why'd you regret when you found out that I'm a vampire?" Reese asked. Trevor sighed. "I thought you were a Downworlder because you kept hiding your face." Trevor said. Reese nodded. "I regret the fact that I fell in love with a werewolf and made him fall back. Don't worry, I'll try my best to not like you anymore." Reese said walking away from him. She broke into tears. She felt like she just got dumped. Trevor always had this strong scent. But Reese never paid attention to it. She regrets it all. If only she knew he was a werewolf from the start. She wouldn't be this broken up if she did. Trevor spun her around and crashed his lips next to hers. Reese felt confused. "I'd break all the rules if it meant being with you." Trevor said between kisses. Reese pulled away. Trevor furrowed his eyebrows. "Hey, don't you think you're too fast? And the Council of Downworld will execute us both if they found out." Reese said. "Then don't let them find out." Trevor said leaning in to kiss her again. Reese pulled away. "If you're a werewolf, the love spell didn't work on you, so it means...?" Reese suspected. "Yes, it means that I really love you. Your spell only works on humans." Trevor said. Reese nodded, but this time it was her that kissed Trevor.
