Chapter 3

Mia's eyes widened in surprise, and Alex felt a pang of guilt. He hadn't told Mia about his past, and he wasn't sure he wanted to.

"Sabine, that was centuries ago", Alex said, trying to downplay the situation." We were young and stupid, and ........"

Sabine laughed, a cold, mirthless sound." You were never stupid, Alex", she said." You were just..... distracted.......by your precious humans".

Mia's eyes flashed with anger again, but Alex and have been before things escalated. "Sabine, stopp;his voice firm." This isn't about the past. It's about Mia, and me and....."

Sabine's smile grew wider." Oh, I think it's very much about the past, Alex", she said." You see, I've been watching you, and I know all about your little... infatuation with Mia. And I'm here to tell you that it's not going to work out".

Alex's eyes narrowed ."What do you mean?",he asked,his voice low and menacing.

Sabine chuckled."I mean that Mia is in danger, Alex.And not just from me.There are those who would love to get their hands on a human who's.... associated with a vampire.

Alex: Sabine, please. Don't do this.Mia means everything to me.

Sabine's expression softened slightly, for a moment, Alex thought he saw a glimmer of the woman she used to be.

Sabine:I know she does,Alex.But that's exactly why I'm warning you.You're putting her in danger, and I won't let that happen.

Mia, who had been watching the exchange with growing unease, stepped forward.

Mia: What's going on ? What's danger are you talking about?

Sabine's eyes flicked to Mia, and her expression hardened again.

Sabine: You don't know what you're getting yourself into, Mia. You don't know what Alex is.

Alex eyes narrowed, and he took a step forward, his first clenched.

Alex: Sabine, that's enough.You're not going to scare her away.

Sabine smiled,a cold mirthless smile.

Sabine: We'll see about that.

And with that, she turned and disappeared into the night, leaving Alex and Mia staring after her in confusion and fear. Alex and Mia stood there for a moment ,staring after Sabine. Then, Mia turned to Alex her eyes wide with fear.

Mia: What's going on, Alex?who is Sabine, and what does she want?

Alex hesitated ,unsure of how much to reveal. But something about Mia's expression made him to trust her.

Alex: Sabine is...an old friend. From a long time ago.She's been watching me, and she's not happy about us.

Mia's eyes narrowed.

Mia: What do you mean about"us"? What's going on, Alex?

Alex took a deep breath.

Alex:I'll tell you everything,Mia. But first,we need to get out of here. Sabine might come back and I don't want you to get hurt.
