Even the coldness of them didn't appear to be bothering me like I thought they would. It wasn't until he asked for permission to take over the kiss and run his tongue over my lips that I realized what I was doing. I was kissing a vampire! My hesitation from him leaning over and kissing me for the first time was enough for him to think that I wanted the kiss. I took him by total surprise when my hand rested on his chest and I pushed as hard as my weakened body could push. "Do you realize how easy I could end your eternal life?" I snapped at him as he pulled away from me with my hand still pressing against his chest. Even laying in this bed, weakened from almost getting all of my essence drained from my body by the Enchantress, I would still have the power to rip his head off without touching him. "You wouldn't," He said with a half smile that practically melted my heart. "Do you realize how many vampires I have killed in my life just because they looked at me?" I asked him. "That doesn't mean you will kill me," He told me, still holding his half smile. --- She's powerful, she's born to protect. She kills just to kill and takes no mercy.

A few excerpts from the story: "Your work clothes?" He asked me. "Yeah, you know, the clothes I was wearing when you saw me earlier at my work when you were begging for me to take you back? I sure the f**k wasn't wearing a nightgown, Clayton." I snapped at him and stood up from the chair. "What kind of creep are you?" I asked him before he had a chance to say anything back. "What?" He asked dumbfoundedly. "You heard me? What kind of disgusting pervert are you? To bring me home and strip me from my clothes and put me into a nightgown that I've never seen? Where the hell did this even come from?" I asked him, almost shouting, killing my head even more as I pulled at the gown with my hand. "The clothes you were in got really muddy in the alley. I didn't want to get your bed all muddy." He tried to explain but I wasn't hearing it. "This isn't even mine!" I shouted at him. "Leave!" I shouted, not giving him a chance to say anything, and pointed towards the door. "Cam, please. I would never do anything...." He started to say but I just shook my head, taking the ice pack from my cheek. "I said get out!" I shouted at him again. --- "I like you, Cam." He said to me in a slightly seductive voice causing my legs to suddenly feel weakened for some unknown reason. He slowly brought himself closer to me, so close that his lips softly grazed over mine. He felt so cold, almost deathly cold and it made absolutely no sense to me yet felt so familiar at the same time. So many things about him seem familiar yet I have no idea why. How is any of this possible? "Let me kiss you." He said softly as he moved his lips across mine softly till they pressed softly in the corner of my mouth for a kiss. "Please don't. You're scaring me," I told him in such a soft voice that I wasn't sure if he could hear me. "Don't be. I don't bite...hard." He joked as he smiled but I couldn't find the humor in what he said. --- "Claudia, what's wrong? Why did we need to come in here?" I asked her as soon as the door was closed so Cameron couldn't hear our discussion. "I know what is different with her blood." She responded in shock. "Is it because of what we did to her?" I asked her and she nodded her head. "I've never seen this happen before, probably because it's never been done before but her blood is literally a strong addicting aphrodisiac to a vampire. The scent and taste of it will be very enticing and addicting." She told me and I stood there, frozen at the words she had spoken. "What is in it to cause it to do that?" I asked her and she walked over to a chair and sat down. The fact that she had to sit down because of this, was enough for me to want to sit down with her. She was scaring me with what could be wrong with Cameron. I've almost lost her twice, technically, and I can't lose her again. "Her blood, of course, is already hybrid blood because of her genetics that involved the unicorn blood and her ancestors which already gives it its unique scent and taste but there's more. It's been altered." She continued and I sat there waiting anxiously and impatiently. Will Cameron ever learn the truth? Read to find out!

I don't care anymore at all if I hurt his feelings! I don't ever want to touch him again and I don't ever want to kiss him again! I don't want to sleep with Azariah either! I shouted in my head. "I can't take you back." He said to me again. "You keep saying that! Why can't you?" I asked him in frustration and crossed my arms over my chest. "Because you are sort of it. It's in your blood." He said to me and my eyes widened in disbelief. --- I tilt my head off to the side, signaling for him to drink. I just hope I'm not making the biggest mistake of my life right now.

Excerpts from the story: *** While he was still a little disoriented, I took that same lamp, that now had a shattered bulb, and hit him again while he was on the ground. I heard him moan in pain as I tossed the lamp to the floor, telling me that he was still conscious and that I needed to get out of there quickly.

I heard him shout, but I didn't care as I opened the door, locked it from the inside again before I shut it behind me. --- "I assure you, I didn't touch her," Tayler responded back to him. "You know the consequences if the product isn't delivered in the same condition as it was when purchased." The man snapped at Tayler.

Enjoy the blurbs from the story below! --- "Ravyn! What is this!" I shouted as I walked into her room with a yellow detention slip in my hand. "Nothing you need to worry about." She snapped at me. "Nothing?" I asked her sternly. "Yes! Nothing!" She snapped again as she slid off of the bed and snatched the detention slip out of my hand. "Obviously the school doesn't think it's nothing," I said angrily at her and crossed my arms over my chest. "The girl deserved it."
