Tina

I held my breath and closed my eyes waiting for it to be over. I heard loud noises, screams and then nothing. I kept my eyes closed. I was too afraid to open them. It was so quiet. Too quiet. Then I felt a gentle touch on my cheek, brushing away my tears. It was a woman’s touch. Could it be? I slowly opened my eyes and looked into the face of my savior. She had dark brown hair worn straight. The deepest brown eyes I’d ever seen. Skin the colour of coffee with cream and the most attractive pouty lips. She held my gaze for what seemed like an eternity before she spoke.

“We should get you inside. This is no place for a woman like you to be wandering around in the middle of the night.” There it was. That voice. The one I hadn’t stopped thinking about for the past twenty four hours.

Bette

I gently cradled her in my arms and carried her into her condo. I had found her keys laying beside her in the grass. She nuzzled her head into me and closed her eyes. Her scent was intoxicating me. It was better than anything I had ever smelled in my life. I carried her into her living room and laid her on the couch. I felt putting her in bed might have seemed a little presumptuous given what had just happened to her. I may be a vampire but I still feel compassion. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me and I instantly felt as alive as someone like me can. I instantly had the urge to kiss her but I held off. I didn’t wish for it to happen this way.

Tina

I snuggled myself into the arms of the vampire as she carried me into my condo. I kept my eyes closed until she put me down on my couch. I looked into her eyes and something clicked inside me. I watched her eyes travel down to my lips and I wondered what she was thinking. I harbored a hope it was about kissing me but she didn’t. I felt a little disappointed but also remembered what had just happened. Maybe she was trying to be sensitive? A sensitive vampire. Who would have thought? It then registered to me that I still didn’t know this beautiful creature’s name.
