A/N: This is my first story, please review it, if you're going to leave constructive criticism, please be flat out, and if you wish to be cruel by all means, tell me it's a peice of crap.
My Personal Aurora
As we walked down the hiking trail, my boyfriend and I were finally getting to talk, seeing as we were separated on the bus. Oh, my name's Alyn by the way and my boyfriend is Geoff. This field trip has been the talk of Forks High since last September when we heard that the next year's juniors were getting a field trip to go hiking in some mountains over by La Push…okay, well maybe not the talks of everybody. But to me and Geoff it was really important. It was our one year anniversary.
"Having fun?" I asked.
"As always, my mountain man." He replied with a grin.
I slightly chortled at the silly nickname. He was always finding some way to make me feel comfortable and giddy all the same time.
As we were walking I tripped over a tree root rising out of the ground. Geoff caught me, and pulled me back up with his big, strong, unfortunately ice cold arms. He never explained to me why he was always so cold, and why his eyes were the most beautiful amber I had ever seen.
But then again, I never really pushed him hard to tell me.
"Thanks again," I muttered, "I can never seem to keep my balance anywhere."
He laughed, the clearest, most caring laugh I know, "No problem, it feels good to save you from your imminent demise."
"Oh, I'm not that much of a disaster magnet," I replied quickly, "Am I?" I asked a little unsure of myself now.
"If it weren't for me, trees would be falling on you, instead of you falling on them!" He exclaimed as he laughed.
The rest of the class turned and gave us weird looks; they never really liked me or Geoff. I guess they just never really seen a happy, gay couple before.
"Alyn. There's something I need to tell you, soon please, and alone." He said this in a hushed and quickened voice, it scared me at the same time it thrilled me.
"Listen, you have to promise me something before I do this though." Geoff pleaded at me to agree.
"Of course," I replied," you know you can tell me anything."
The teacher stopped for a bit to talk about some plants along the path, and Geoff and I used it as a chance to escape. We walked a small ways to the side of the path, going far enough just to be out of sight of the teachers and the rest of the class. Too engrossed in talking and listening to notice us make our getaway.
"Ok, promise me one more thing, please whatever you do. Don't run away." I looked at Geoff a little more scared than I thought I did, and he noticed.
"Alyn, how do you feel on the topic of Mythical creatures?" He asked me.
"I guess, some are real and some are not, I mean, I don't believe in things too farfetched though. Why?" was my reply.
"What if I was to tell you that I was one of said mythical creatures, and was actually quite dangerous?" He sounded as if at any moment I was going to run away screaming.
"Where are you going with this?" I asked, sounding a bit ruder than wanted. "If you need to tell me something, just tell me; please don't play cryptic mind games."
I doubted our relationship would ever last long, I mean, I was just your regular Joe. I had slightly tanned skin, the color of a light tree, short hair the color of a savannah's yellow plain, and dark brown eyes with a lining of silver around the Iris. I was kind of short only being 5' 7" and kind of on the heavy side, at around 200 lbs. While he on the other hand, was the epitome of 'eye-candy'.
He had such pale skin it seemed as if he sparkled in the sunlight, and his hair was the most beautiful red I had ever seen. His hair sat upon his head, in short spikes that jut out in every direction; his cheekbones were high, and his smile screamed joy, with his purely white, straight teeth. His dimples showed, every time he smiled, and it only added to his boyish charm.
"Alyn, please listen to me…" he started saying
"Please, if you want to break up with me don't try to lie to me with bullshit about being mythical. I've already been through shitty boyfriends, and I didn't think you were just like them." I interrupted, and immediately felt bad, as I seen the hurt flash across his face before he turned and walked away.
He suddenly stopped, "Alyn, I love you!" He blurted, this is the first time he actually said it out loud to me.
For some reason I still couldn't bring myself to say 'I love you too.' There's something about it, it's like it would just feel awkward if I said it to him. So it wasn't a wonder I tried to refrain from saying by asking him, questioning him instead.
"Do you really mean that?" I asked, "Please for the love of all things wonderful, Geoff, please, tell me you're not lying?" I choked, "I don't want to be hurt again."
"Alyn, I would never do anything to hurt you, which is why I'm trying to tell you this. So that you can't say I hurt you by hiding something this big."
"Okay, I'm listening." I replied, my voice still laden with regret and worry.
"Alyn, I'm a vampire." He said, very quietly, to the point I almost didn't hear it.
"What? Wait, like bloodsucking vampire? Or like, life depends on blood vampire?" I asked skeptical, hoping it was the latter. Or neither if it was possible, but the look in his eyes told me otherwise. They had look of deep worry, and love, so much love it felt like I could drown.
"You don't believe me, do you?" he asked, anger lacing his words.
"Of course I don't!" I burst. "How the hell am I supposed to believe that my wonderful boyfriend, goes around sucking the blood from people to stay alive?!" "You expect me to just believe that the guy I'm falling for is a vampire?!" the insanity coming in my tone, scaring me slightly, was heavy, and I soon began sobbing.
Ok, well that's it for now, I'll wait to get a few reviews to see what people think, to see if it's worth writing more. :)
