This is my second submission and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Its similar to my first story in the sense that the names of the characters are basically the same. However, the girl is a vampire in one story and the guy is the vampire in the other. I want to write two mirror series...so let me know what you guys think.

-Christian-
Her scent befuddled me, I only wanted to get away from this place. I couldn't. Not anymore, she intrigued me too much. Her eyes were like mine. I watched her as she walked through the forest, foolish. Others like me could be around the woods, especially in a rural place like Maine. She had headphones in her ear, but I kept my distance. I sat perched on a tree staring at the walking beauty. She smelled so good, I inhaled a few deep lungfuls of air and I felt my canines extend a little. She was tempting.
How sinister fate was, to dangle an innocent girl in front of a vampire, she was only lucky it was me and not another. For I do not think another vampire would be able to hold themselves back.
She took off her thin jacket revealing a loose fitting black one-shoulder blouse. It also revealed a white bra and more of her smooth olive toned skin. I licked my lips as I saw her pulsating artery slowly and consistently pushing up and down her skin...oh how I ached to break her skin. I swallowed and silently jumped to another tree closer to her and hung on by one arm, my eyes never leaving her. Her long black hair rested on her body as she sat on a log and pulled out a sketchpad and began to draw the forest.
I watched her, forgetting I was hanging on by one arm. Until I heard an all too familiar sound; another vampire...
-Elena-
I sat there indulging in the beautiful lush scenery nature had created. I was lost in my drawing until I felt a cold presence that forced me to look up. I nearly screamed with surprise as I saw a man standing a few feet away from me, I looked closer and felt my scream lodged in my throat. He growled and smiled revealing fangs glistening in saliva. He looked rather savage, torn up clothes and dirty skin. He took a step closer and I fell over the log I was sitting. I screamed when I saw he was right in front of me, all I remember seeing was him lunging at me and something happened, I saw him be thrown into a tree and I was also thrown back into one. I felt a painful hit and I blacked out...

I woke up with a pain in my left arm. I was still adjusting to the lighting as I began to come around. Everything was still a bit blurry. I noticed everything around me wasn't green, and I was on something very soft, a bed perhaps. I sat up straight and gave myself a minute, then I clearly opened my eyes. I was in a large room on a bed with white sheets. The room had an old feeling to it, despite it having dark sheik furniture. Thats when I saw him, sitting in a chair reading some book. He looked at me, with a dark sparkle in his eyes.
"You're finally awake," he said. His voice was a bit deep and raspy, almost like a sleepy voice. "Wh-who are y-you?" I stuttered out, I was a bit scared, I didn't know who this guy was. "Shh, I am not going to hurt you, I saved you after all..." he said getting up from his chair. It all started to come back to me, the guy with the teeth and dirty look, I remember seeing him get thrown into a tree before I blacked out myself.
"What happened? Where am I?" I asked, now starting to get flustered and worried. No one would know where I was, and who was that guy back in the forest? It was surely not the one standing in front of me. "You were attacked-" he said, 'By WHO?" I blurted out. "A bad man..." he said in a low tone. "Who are you," I asked, I could see he looked irritated but I had a right to know.
"Why did that guy have teeth like that?" I asked, but like a bus hitting a person, the realization hit me right in the head. Vampire? Wait, no, that can't be true. Can it? My whole facial expression changed to scared shitless as my subconscious mind already decided for me that that man was a vampire. So who was this guy? And what happened to that guy?
In the blink of an eye, he was right next to me with deep interested that looked into my soul. "Please, calm down, I am not going to hurt you," he said with a soft, subtle smile. "That guy was a vampire, from the look on your face, I knew that you'd figure it out," he said. "So what are you?" I asked, already knowing the answer. Any traces of any smiles he had were gone, he looked serious. "Are you scared?" he asked me. I thought about it, and I was. However, not as scared as I am when I think about the other vampire.
"Please, don't be scared," I promise I will not hurt you. "Why? I thought you killed people," I said. It didn't make sense, why was he saving me. What are his ulterior motives? This whole thing seemed like a movie or some story you'll find on the internet. "I try not to kill people, but I will not lie that even I have to feed," he said very dryly. It almost sounded like he was in pain to say it. "I will not lie to you, I saved you because you interested me. I have never come across another like you, with those eyes. Like mine," he cryptically said. He leaned in closer and I was able to see his eyes in the dim room. They were like mine. 2 different colors. Only his were a dark blue and a bright golden brown. Mine were a light blue and a hazel green. I never seen another like him either.
The doctors told my parents that it was a genetic mutation, rare, but it does occur. Why would my eyes interest him so much? "I am sorry for scaring you," he said, a bit sad. Now I was able to actually see his face, handsome. Black hair with an odd streak of white on the right side near his temple. He had a somewhat tan skin, but it was pale. And such full lips, a light touch of facial hair that made him look a bit older. All honesty, he looked like a teenager or someone in their early 20's. "Who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Christopher," he said, and he put his hand out as if to shake mine. I must've been bat shit crazy, but I automatically respond with my hand and my name, "I am Elena," I hesitantly said. He grabbed my hand and gently kissed my knuckles. "A pleasure to meet you," he said...it wasn't as mutual. "Would you like anything to drink or eat?" he asked me. I was starving, but wait, this was too casual. He is a fucking vampire, I almost got attacked by one. Aren't they all evil? They lie, what if this was some sick plot and the other guy is alive? My silence must've told him everything, for he was no longer showing that cute crooked smile. Cute? Did I just think his smile was cute?
"I am a vampire," he blatantly spoke, "but I promise you, I will not let harm come to you," he sounded almost sure. He looked at me very carefully, observing me, trying to read my movements and body language. I said nothing, until my stomach growled. "You're hungry," he said. But my stomach growling was more like a soft purr, I felt it more than I heard it.
"How do I know that you will not hurt me?" I asked, "I would have already done so if I truly wanted to harm you, but that is not my intention," he said. "If you choose to leave after you have eaten, you have every right to do so, but please, allow me to prove myself to you, Elena," he said. I must have been crazy for even thinking about it. "O-okay," I said. He smiled, and for some reason it brought warmth to see him smile.
I got up from the bed and became aware of the fact that I was in white robes with only my underwear and bra on. I blushed and got angry, had he undressed me? "Where are my clothes," I asked. He only chuckled, it was cute as well. "When you fell back, you hit mud and other things," he said with another soft chuckle, "So I changed your clothes and threw the dirty ones away," he said. "What?" I asked, "What will I wear?" I asked.
