I stood there on the roof, awaiting the sunlight. I wanted to burn. Ive lived to long, over 2000 years. I was stuck in a rut, everything was uninteresting. I had nothing keeping me here. Nothing to live for, or stay for. The sun would come soon. About 5 minutes. I was looking down at the humans beneath me. Just ants. Im intrigued by their ways, how they can put so much emotion into something. How they can get so upset over something so trivial, or love something with all their being, without knowing why. Love. Somthing I have never experienced. Something I never will.

A shrill scream pulled me out of my stupor. I looked toward the horrible sound. In the alley way, a man, on top of a woman. I heard her pleas. Rape, he was going to... Swallowing hard, I ran toward them. I jumped off the roof, down behind the man. Grabbing him by the collar of his shirt, I yanked him off the woman. I looked at her, she was in shock. "Apologize to the young lady." I commanded the man.

"S-so-sorry. Please dont hurt me. I swear Ill do anything." The grimy man pleaded. I just tossed him aside, and heard him scurry away. I looked at the girl. And that what she was. Being 2000 years old, I picture everyone as a child, but she couldnt have been more then 20. I leaned down toward her slowly, trying not to startle her. She looked at me. I was expecting fear, but I got hope, happiness. Then without warning, she fainted. I couldnt leaver her here like this. She was bruised, and I believe she might have twisted her ankle. So I picked her up bridal style, and ran quickly inside. The sun would be up any second. I made it inside just in time, and walked to my room, and laid the girl down. She seemed fragile, like most other humans. But something about her screamed strong, powerful, different. Her face was bruised, and her ankle was swollen, she definatly broke it.

I would give her my blood, but not without her permission. I noticed her long silky, red hair, and her petite, yet athletic form. Her eyes fluttered open, and looked directly at me. She slowly sat up.

"Uh... hold on, let me process what just occured." She sat there holding her head. I noticed her eyes were redish brown, with blue. In all my years I have never seen a human with such a weird I color. "You saved me... from him."

I nodded. "yes. I was standing on the roof, when I heard you scream."

She looked confused. "But it was almost daylight."

I smirked. "You certainly are an observant little one arnt you?"

She chuckled, an amazing sound escape her mouth. "Yea, I guess I just have this way of seeing little details and peiceing them together." She tucked some hair behind her ear and looked at her ankle. "And now Im observing that my ankle is broken." She giggled.

"It doesnt hurt you?" Concern came from my voice, as unexpected as it was.

"Uh.. not really, I have a high pain tolerance."

I nodded. "Would you like to heal quicker?" I asked unsure of her reaction.

She stared at me with wide eyes. "No thanks. Im not into the whole V thing. I really dont wnat to be bondedeither, Im-"

"Independent."

She nodded.

"We wouldnt completely be bonded. Thats only if we exchange blood." I stated. "I just dont want to see you hurt." I dont know why. I had this urge to protect her, and keep her safe. It was an odd feeling. Ive never felf anything toward a human. I could tell she was concidering it. Then she finally nodded. I retracted my fangs. But she didnt flinch like I was expecting. Her heartbeat stayed the same, not even a stutter. I bit into my arm and brought it to her lips. She seemed uncomfortable at first, but soon she accepted it, and drank until I pulled away. Her eyes widened.

"Wow. Thats intense."

I chuckled. She closed her eyes as if basking in the feeling.
