EDIT- IMPORTANT NOTE: I started writing this story when I was thirteen. I am now twenty. I promise you, the horrendous writing of the first few chapters gets better, so please stick with it.

A/n Okay this is sorta like Buffy the vampire slayer, except it has nothing to do with Buffy the vampire slayer. It just…well, you'll see.

Chapter 1

He watched her walk away, a smirk on his face. He'd never met a girl like her before. A girl who knew things. She was smart. Really smart. And special. He knew he was going to have to be careful with her. Really careful.

He was about to turn away when he saw a pair of yellow eyes from behind a tree Rory was about to pass. He shook his head, not believing it for a second. Not here. There was no way. This place was too… fairy tale-ish to have problems like this. And yet, the eyes were there, following the girl he had just met.

He looked around. There was no living person that he could see in this part of the town. He called Rory's name, confidant that he could deal with it if they were followed, as he thought there was only one. She turned, a look of confusion on her face.

"Yeah?"

He ran to her, his eyes on the other, topaz pair. He grabbed onto her arm, then quickly let go, realizing that she would think it weird that he was touching her.

"Uhm," he said, walking backwards, away from the tree, so she would follow, "I was wondering if you wanted some coffee. I'm going back to the diner so I just thought you might like to come with me. Coffee's free." He added as an afterthought. She smiled.

"I'd love some free coffee." He could feel the eyes following them as they walked. He had to get her away from here.

"Okay, great. Lets go then." and he grabbed her arm, not caring about touching her anymore, and practically dragged her toward the diner.

"Whoa, jess, I can walk on my own. I've been doing it for almost 16 years." he heard footsteps behind them and quickened their pace.

"Uh, yeah…but we have to get there before Luke locks me out."

"Okay…?" he heard more footsteps join the ones that were already following them and chanced a glace behind him. His eyes widened as he saw at least 20 people, all with yellow eyes and scrunched up noses, following them.

"Shit."

"What?" Rory said, trying to look behind her.

"Run!" and he started running, dragging Rory along.

"Jess, what the hell-" her eyes widened as she finally saw what Jess was running from and sprinted forward. They heard the footsteps behind them start to quicken and they ran faster. The diner was in view now. Rory was starting to fall behind, so Jess grabbed her arm and was half dragging her again.

They reached the door and Jess pushed it open, shoving Rory inside before he got inside himself. They were both panting, but Rory was still running. She was heading toward the stairs, but when she realized Jess wasn't behind her she stopped and turned around.

"Jess, come on. They're going to come inside." Jess shook his head.

"They can't." Rory gave him a confused look. He sighed.

"They can't come in here unless they're invited." He said. Rory blinked. She took a deep breath before asking a question she wasn't too sure she wanted to know the answer to.

"Jess, what exactly are those things?" he sat down in a chair and put his face in his hands.

"Manmies" he said through his hands. Rory sat down next to him.

"What?"

"Vampires." Rory's eyes widened and she bit her lip.

"No, Jess, there's no such thing as Vampires." She said, backing up as what she thought were ugly people pressed their faces against the glass of the diner, unable to enter.

"Yes, there is." He said calmly. She shook her head.

"But…no…I don't understand!" he sighed.

"Neither do I."

"I don't think we don't understand the same thing." He shook his head.

"No, we don't. You don't understand the existence of vampires. I don't understand why there were so many." She was taken aback by this.

"What do you mean you don't understand why there were so many? Who cares how many there are! Those things-"

"Vampires." She glared at him.

"Those things were trying to kill us!"

"They're Vampires, and they weren't trying to kill us. They were trying to kill you." She looked at him, eyes big and terrified.

"B-but… why would they want to kill me? I haven't done anything. I don't even believe in…"

"Vampires?" She sighed.

"This is all just…ugh! Where's Luke? And all the costumers?" she said, noticing for the first time that the diner was completely deserted. Apparently Jess just noticed, too, because he was looking suspiciously at disturbing faces in the windows.

"I don't know. The door was open, though." He said. He tilted his head to the side. "Do you even remember seeing anyone in any of the buildings on our way here?" Rory thought for a second.

"No. But we weren't exactly in a position to be looking through the buildings. And besides, I was just at the store. Remember? I had to get something for school… which I guess I dropped sometime when we were running because I don't have it anymore." Jess ignored the last part of what Rory said. He had just been at the diner, too. They had to have done something. But he doesn't understand why, or why there were so many. For the first time since they got into the diner, he looked into her eyes. They were filled with fear. He swallowed.

"Rory," he stood up, "promise not to freak out when I tell you this?" she nodded looking scared.

"Okay, someone's…after you." She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah I got that part. Except it's more like 20 someones." Jess shook his head.

"No, you don't understand. Those guys were sent." Rory narrowed her eyes.

"Sent by who?"

"I don't know. But obviously there's something about you that no one knows about."

"No, there's not! There's nothing about me! I'm completely normal an-" she got cut off by the sound of a plant flying through the diner's window. Rory screamed as more objects got chucked through the windows. Jess was standing now, looking annoyed.

"What do we do?" Rory asked him.

"They still can't come in. But we can't stay here. Come on. We have to pack some stuff.

A/n that's chapter one. What do you think? I hope u enjoy it.
