She woke with a start. Sweat dripping from her body. She was sore and she didn't know for sure if she could move. Someone had put clothes back on her. The surface underneath her was hard, cold and uncomfortable. She sat up, blinking rapidly as the the light hit her eyes. It burned horribly! She closed them shut again and covered them with her hand.
Peeking through a tiny crack in her fingers, she saw that she was laying on the floor of some living room and the sun was coming through a huge window. She got up, stumbling on weak legs. She hurriedly pulled the curtain shut, blocking the sun.
Finally she could see. She didn't know where she was or who had brought her here. Her parents were probably freaking out. She started walking around, looking for any information as to where she might be. She saw no pictures, no papers, nothing.
Suddenly a door slammed down the hallway and Amira jumped. Aiden came into the living room and she couldn't believe how just the sight of him made her knees weak. When she looked at his face, everything came flooding back to her.
The pool. She remembered what happened. But she didn't know why he had bit her and she didn't know what was happening to her now. She had trusted him and he had seemed so genuine and wonderful.
He looked startled when he saw her standing there. He stopped in the doorway and his eyes got huge. She stood still waiting for him to do something. He walked toward her and she should have backed away but she just couldn't move.
"Amira, you have to let me explain." He said calmly.
"What?! You hurt me, then kidnap me and you expect me to let you explain?!" She screamed.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I had to do what I did so that we could actually be together."
"What do you mean?" She asked confused but calm.
"Amira, I'm a....well not human."
"Not human? What are y-y...oh my. You can't be serious. Vampires aren't real."
"But we are Amira and I can't be with you unless you are just like me. That's why I did what I did."
"Aiden, how can I believe something like that?"
"You're going to have to trust me. You know I would never hurt you." He said, coming closer to her.
