HELLO! This is a story about a vampire named Isaiah. He wishes that finding love wouldn't put her in danger. You see, humans don't know about vampires. There is a constant war between the Nights and Days. Isaiah is a Day, who drink animal blood. Nights are vampires who drink human blood. But when he sees Lemonisa a farm girl in Tennessee, all that changes when he gets a look at her. He doesn't want to pass her up. And, apparently, neither does she. They fall into possibly the most dangerous love of all and have to fight to get past it.

The Farm Girl

I sighed for about the thousandth time today as I walked through the park. It was full daylight, so I was safe from the Nights. For now, at least. I hate my life. I hate that I have to constantly fight with others of my kind. I just hate it. I wish I could change human again. But it doesn't work like that. It never does. I'm stuck in the eternal battle of good and evil, even though I suppose we're all evil, since we all have to kill to survive. You'd think that eternity meant an eternity's worth of girl friends and lover, right? Wrong. Any humans that we associate romantically with is put into constant danger in this hell hole called Earth. I wish I could have love. I wish I could have a girl to love, a girl to cherish. But, frankly, that's not in the job description for this eternal career.

I sighed again. One thousand-one. I wish I could just find her. That one girl that could love me. There's another problem. What girl would love a monster like me? No girl, that's the answer. I'm a bloodsucking mon-.

My internal babble was interrupted by a beautiful voice. I followed the voice to a crowd of people. They were sitting around a picnic blanket. On the blanket was a man, about 45-years-old, with a plaid shirt in and jeans. Then next to him was the source of the voice. She was on angel from heaven sent to Earth. She had short brown, curly hair with a cowgirl hat on top of it. She had bright blue eyes that sparkled like the most expensive sapphires. She was small, probably 4'10", but I couldn't be sure. She was singing "Butterfly Fly Away" by Miley Cyrus. She was playing the guitar so fluidly, It didn't really seem she was touching it, but I the cords would vibrated so she was really playing it.

"And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared that things wouldn't turn out right,
You would hold my hand and sing to me."

The man next to her, probably her father, joined in for the chorus.

"Caterpillar in the tree,
How you wonder who you'll be.
Can't go far but you can always dream.

"Wish you may and wish you might,
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day.

"Butterfly Fly Away

"Butterfly Fly Away

"Flap your wings, now you can't stay.
Take those dreams,
And make them all come true.

"Butterfly Fly Away

"We've been waiting for this day,
All along and just known what to do.

"Butterfly,
Butterfly,
Butterfly,
Butterfly Fly Away.

"Butterfly Fly Away

"Butterfly Fly Away."

I had sat down near the beginning of the song and the crowd erupted into cheers and applause and chanting of, "Encore!" I was one of the cheerers. I wanted to hear her sing again.

"Okay, okay," she laughed, her Tennessee accent making her soft bell voice adorable. I God, what was this girl doing to me? "Any suggestions?"

"How about 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. Can you play that for us, Lemonisa?" a boy with the same eyes and hair as her asked as he sat next to him. He was probably her brother.

"Sure thing Toby," Lemonisa said as her small hands found the appropriate place to start on the guitar to start. She started the song and sang.

"We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there,
On a balcony in summer air.

"See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns,
See you make your way through the crowd
I say, 'Hello',
Little did I know

"That you were Romeo,
You were throwing pebbles
"And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet,'
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go.
And I said,

"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all you have to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

"I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they
Knew so close your eyes.
Let's take this town for a little while.

"Oh, oh.

"Because you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter.
And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet.'
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you 'Please don't go.'
And I said,

"Romeo, save me,
They're trying to tell me how I feel.
This love is difficult, but it's the real deal
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

"Oh, oh.

"Got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith was fading.
When I met you on the outskirts of town,
And I said,

"Romeo save me, I've been feelin' so alone,
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said."

The crowd joined her to say the proposal.

"Marry me, Juliet; you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

"'Cause we were both young when I first saw you."

When she finished, she looked in my direction, then directly at me. She smiled and then a black girl with honey highlights came up to her and sat down on the blanket. They were whispering so low that not even my heightened hearing could pick up on it. The black girl whispered something and Lemonisa nodded. The black girl smirked and looked my way. I blushed. I didn't know about what, but they were talking about me. They didn't manage to keep it as low when they continued.

"Then go talk to him," the black girl was saying.

"You know I can't do that, Ty," Lemonisa said.

"And why not?"

"Because I'm not all that good at talkin' to boys. You know that. I only got Red and Cedric as friends because they talked to me first. And I want this guy as more than just a friend." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. First that she liked me back. Second that such a beautiful angel could be shy.

"What makes you think he won't talk to you?" Ty asked, crossing her arms.

"A guy as gorgeous as him wouldn't talk to a girl like me," she said, looking down. What? She didn't think she was pretty? She beyond pretty. She was and angel an Earth and she should know it.

"Look at me, girl," Ty said, grabbing Lemonisa's shoulders and forcing her to look her in the eye. "You're beautiful. Never think otherwise. I wish I looked like you. That's the only reason Gina calls you ugly, because you're so beautiful. She's just a hateful bitch." Thank you, Ty, I thought. Thank you for setting her mind strait in the right direction. Lemonisa was lucky to have such a good friend.

"You keep sayin' that, Ty, but I don't believe it." She looked back down. "Have you ever seen Gina? She's slept with, like half of the football, basketball, and baseball teams. She is the head cheerleader. She has the body of a super model. She's the height of a regular human. I can't beat that, so why would she be jealous? I'm just the farmer's daughter."

"And you have the face of an angel, the body of a hot worker and the wit and personality of a girl with smarts. Don't forget that. And I do agree that Gina has the body of a super model. You know, the ones that gag and starve themselves? Yeah, those." Lemonisa laughed and looked at me, then blushed and looked away when she saw I was watching.

"He was looking," she said, still whispering.

"Good, that means he thinks you're pretty," Ty said. The crowd was disappearing now, but I was still sitting in my spot, watching them.

"As much as a I disagree with that myself, I have to say there are no other reasons I can come up with for why he would be staring at me."

"Okay, then, let's go," Ty said, shooting up and bringing Lemonisa up with her. She grabbed her by the hand and started pulling her toward me. Lemonisa protested, but Ty was having none of that.

"Hey, I'm Tyvanna, and this is my best friend, Lemonisa, but you can call her Lemons or Nisa or Nisie. And I prefer Ty," Ty introduced. They sat down in front of me. Lemonisa was even more beautiful up close. I hadn't noticed before, but there were some locks of hair that fell lazily into her eyes. It gave her a relaxed look that I liked.

"Hi," I said and lifted my hand in a small wave. "I'm Isaiah. I just moved here."

"Well, maybe we could show you how to survive in the country. You could probably work with Lemons on the farm. It's actually fun," Tyvanna suggested. That was an excellent idea. I could learn to like this girl.

"I would love to," I said and smiled at the girls.

"Daddy needs someone new to help me out now, anyways. My brother, Toby, just got married and moved out. I'm all he has in the house other than-." But she was interrupted by a giant Cairn Terrier (the same breed as Toto and Winn Dixie) jumped on her. I was about to rip the dog off of her, but then she started laughing.

"Winn Dixie! Get off!" she said between laughs. The dog obeyed and got off of her. It licked her face and sat down next to her. She kissed its nose. "What are we gonna do with you, girl?" she said and ruffled the dog's ears. She looked at me. "As I was saying, my dad has no one in the house now but me and Winn Dixie here. Well, Ty is over my house most every weekend, or vice versa." Winn Dixie started to sniff me up and down and looked at me weird. I knew I had a different scent, more floral, than most humans. I knew the reason for the look. The dog must have let it go because he walked back to Nisa's side. I looked at Nisa and noticed a scar that was about 2 inches long along the bottom side of her jaw. It was pink and old, but it was there.

"What's this," I asked and reached out to touch the underside of her jaw. She gasped and I pulled bach. "Sorry. Does it still hurt?" Maybe it wasn't as old as I thought.

"No, you just caught me by surprise. This scar has a big memory. When I was 14, I went to New York with my school. Well, I was walking through Time Square and then, suddenly some gut pulled me into an ally. He pushed me against a wall and attempted to do… some things. I, of course wouldn't let him. Then he pulled out a knife and said, 'you're gonna let me and you're gonna like it.' That made me freak and yell. He placed the knife at my neck and told me to shut up. I did, but then I did something that totally shocked both of us. I got my hand free and stabbed him in the gut, cutting myself in the process. He crumpled to the ground. I screamed and put my hand over the cut to stop the bleeding and ran. I felt the blood leaking through my fingers, but I had kept going. I got into the side walk and a person in their care spotted me and swerved over. She helped me in and called the nearest hospital. I think I passed out, because I woke up in a hospital bed, surrounded by people, a doctor, a nurse, Ty, Cedric, Red, Star, and Dallas, my other friends. They asked me what had happened and I told them what had happened. And every detail, from the guy pulling me into the ally to me stabbing him." She was looking down and sounded ashamed of herself. Ty put a hand on her back and rubbed up and down.

"Girl, you had to. He was gonna rape you. You had the right to self-defense," she said and put her hand under Nisa's chin to lift her head up. "You did what you had to."

"You did a good job. I mean, he could have hurt you. And, really, he would have if you didn't retaliate. You were the lucky one, the girl that escaped," I said. She smiled at me.

"Well, if you want to work with me, follow me. Daddy will like you. I can tell," she said and got up. She offered a hand to help me up. I took it and she pulled me up without difficulty. She was small for her size, I'll give her that. "Komm, Winn Dixie," she said. I recognized "komm" as "come" in German. Not much difference, but she had the accent down perfectly. The dog followed and we walked up to her father.

"Hey, sugar," he said and kissed her head. He looked at me. "Who's your friend?"

"Daddy, this is Isaiah. He wants to work at the farm," she said.

"He does, does he? Well, are you willing to work after school and whenever else you can and to work alongside my daughter and Ty?" he asked me.

"Yes, sir, I am," I said.

"Well, then, you're hired. You look like a hard worker, like my son, so you should do nicely." He extended an arm. "Welcome to the family."

I took it. "Family?" I asked.

"Well, me, Dixie, Lemonisa, and Ty are all a big family. So are Toby and his wife, Alexis, are, but they don't work with us anymore."

"Fine with me," I said. "When do I start?"

"Today, if you're not busy," he said.

"I'm not busy. But I'm gonna need to follow you guys, because I don't know the way."

"No prob, we were about to leave," Lemonisa said. She looked me up and down. "But you're not working in those, are you?" she asked.

"Oh, no, I guess not." I was wearing all designer labels.

"Well, we can get you some of Toby's old work clothes," she said and headed toward an old black truck. It was the kind you saw in car crashes that don't get a scratch on them where the other car is all banged up.

"Okay, I'll follow," I called and headed over to my red Kia Sportage. They all stopped and stared.

"That's your car?" Nisa asked in awe. I nodded. "Well then, why do you need a job?"

"To keep the money I have balanced. I don't just produce money out of thin air," I said. She shrugged and got into her truck. Her dad got into a 1990 Honda Accord and Ty got in with Nisa. Winn Dixie climbed in next to her.

They headed out and I followed. They were heading far away from the city. When we finally arrived, I saw a big red barn with a silo next to it. There was a stable and a farmhouse farther out, near the edge of the property. There was a small, colorful building with a white door that bulged out like an egg. It looked like the chicken coop from the Hannah Montana Movie that Miley and Trevor had built. We parked and got out. I was still staring at the chicken coop. Lemonisa followed my gaze.

"Me, Ty, and Toby built that when we dragged Toby to see the Hannah Montana Movie," she said. I looked at her. "What? I like Hannah Montana." I laughed. She glared.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. So, where are your brother's old clothes?" I asked.

"Follow me, sir," she said and ran in the direction of a house a little ways away. She was fast. I ran after her and avoided using the super speed that comes with the immortality. I don't want to scare the crap out of her. But, without it, she beat me.

"That's not fair! You got a head start!" I exploded playfully.

"Yes, but she didn't," she said and nodded to where Ty stood, a few feet to the side. Where did she come from?

"Jeeze, are all girls from Tennessee that fast?" I asked.

"No, cold, hard labor does that to you, what with working all day and a couple hours at night," she said. Wait, at night? Wouldn't that get her sucked up into the whole Day vs. Night controversy? Guess not, 'cause here she is, alive and mortal. I guess they don't come out here.

"So, maybe I can beat you in a few months?" I asked.

She thought about it. "No, probably not," she said and turned toward the house. I followed, but the stopped me. "Nope, I'm your boss, so I pick out your clothes," she said.

"Yes, sir," I said and saluted her. She gave me a pretty scary glare. "Sorry. Yes, ma'am." She nodded and ran up the stairs. She returned a minute later with clothes in her hands. She grabbed my hand and towed me into the house. Inside, there were bookshelves full of fiction books and pictures. There was a picture of who I could only assume was Lemonisa. The toddler in the picture had hair of the same color as Nisa's, and she had the same eyes. She was in a grassy field on a short white horse. She was riding it on her own and from the looks of it, it was going fast. She must have been taught to hide bare-back when she was little.

She towed me to a bathroom and handed me the clothes and a pair of shoes. "You're a size 11 in shoes, right?" I nodded. "Okay, so get dressed and meet me in the barn. We have lots of work to do."

I walked in and she closed the door. The bathroom was big, with a walk-in shower and a separate tub. The sink was polished and white. I looked at the clothes in my hands. There was a pair of overalls and a white t-shirt. The shoes were old, but clean Adidas. I quickly changed into them and went to the mirror. I was about to go out and work with my true love. I was going to work with the farm girl.

Okay, so, that was the first chapter of Day vs. Night. I don't really know where I got the inspiration from, but, oh well. It's pretty good, in my opinion. And, I know I didn't describe Isaiah, so here. He is well built, but not bulky, with sandy hair and green eyes. He is 6'7" and pale. But these vampires' hearts still beat, that is how he able to blush. Vampires can be, either reproduced or turned. Isaiah was turned. His best friend, Joshua, will come up in the following chapters. Oh, and they do not have super strength, just super speed. And, Lemonisa and Ty are 18. Isaiah was turned at age 19. I, honestly, love romance, so I will be making them hook up soon. So just be patient. I am into this story, so I will update ASAP. So, yeah, I love you all! If you love me, Lemonisa, Ty, or Isaiah, review, please.

Love,
Lemonisa Millennia Brookes (Nisa's Full Name)
