A/N: First off, to all of my readers, thank you! To everyone who read Breaking the Rules, I am sorry that it has taken me this long to get to this point. I have started this story probably 10 times over the past few years and have not been able to make it past chapter 1. I have already made it farther than that, so hopefully this time around it will stick. I am happy with what I have done so far and hope that you like it as well. Please leave reviews and let me know what you think. However keep in mind that I do not consider myself an all-star writer and am doing this purely for fun. The characters will probably be OOC. If you choose to read this you are accepting that fact and I am hoping that comments about how out of character they are will not show up in the comments. I am aware of this and am choosing to write the story any ways!

Now that my rant is over, please enjoy the story and I look forward to your reviews!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Moonlight world. Riley and those that are not recognized from the show are mine and I would appreciate it if you did not take them without asking! Enjoy!

Prologue

3:00 in the afternoon. Not a time I was hoping to see. I lay in bed for another ten minutes before I realized that falling back to sleep was not going to happen. I made my way into the library and out to the balcony that held one of the most amazing views of the city. I had long since become used to sleeping while the rest of the world was awake.

I watched as a storm made its way across the city. It would reach the house soon, but I still probably had a little while before it got here. I wasn't ready to back into the house. The dreams that woke me up had not been entirely forgotten. There was probably always going to be a piece of me that couldn't move on from what had happened 10 months ago.

My welcome to the world that surrounds us all came in the form of me walking in on Josef, my boss and the love of my life, feeding. Until that point, vampires were still the stuff of myths. But as Josef looked me in the eye for the first time with blood dripping from his mouth, my life changed. It wasn't long after that incident that I was kidnapped by a former employee of Josef's and tortured. I came within probably 5 minutes of being killed inside the inferno that was my prison cell. Josef came into the room and pulled me out of the blazing house just in time.

From that moment on, I knew that I was head over heels in love with Josef. It had taken a long time for Josef to realize and admit to his feelings but somehow, we made it to this point. I have been living with Josef for almost 9 months. Those 9 months had been the best of my life. Josef and I grew closer and closer every day. Beth and Mick were the older siblings that I had never had growing up. These three people were my entire family now. I didn't know what I would do without them.

The rain came and I made my way back into the house. I was walking through the library when Josef came through the door leading to my room. He smiled at me and my heart melted. I walked over to him and he pulled me into his arms. We walked back into my room and lay down. Josef pulled me closer to his body as I drifted back off to sleep.

The nursing staff rushed into the room as the monitor started to beep. The girl's heart rate was dropping. The staff tried to revive her but the girl didn't respond to anything they did. The monitors were turned off as the girl died. The doctor looked up as the maid of the house walked into the room.

"He won't be happy about this. You will alert him as soon as possible, right?" The maid nodded, grief written on her face. She was not looking forward to writing this letter, she knew he would not be happy to receive it.
