England, 1612...
I ran out of the house and headed straight for the barn, I found my male black horse Shadow in the first stall closest to the barn exit "Nora!" My enraged father shouted, I could tell from the volume of his voice that he was getting closer and I knew I had no time to saddle Shadow
"Come on boy" I whispered opening the stall door and lightly grabbing his long black mane, I quickly led him out of the barn and I easily lifted myself onto his back "Get back here Nora!" Father shouted again, I looked behind me to see him approaching us
"I'm sorry" I cried, he paused and shook his head "Just come back into the house and we will forget this ever happened. Everything will go back to normal" he said in a more calmer tone, I sat up straight
"That's exactly what I don't want" I replied, his eyes narrowed "Nora you will get back into this house and do what you are told. Your mother is too sick to deal with your pathetic rebellion and disgrace to our family, she could lose the baby do you want that?!" he shouted once again angered by my disobediance
"No. But I won't stay" I said tears flowing down my cheeks, I turned back around and nudged Shadows sides causing him to gallop into the forest.
As soon as I passed a familiar looking tree I slowed Shadow down until he was trotting, once I turned the corner Shadow stopped instantly and I gasped "Hello Nora" A familiar voice greeted, I smiled in relief "I didn't think you would still be here" I admitted, he walked around Shadow until he reached my left leg and I gently shifted until both legs were on the left side of Shadow
"You know I'll always wait for you" he said lifting his arms and resting his hands on my thighs, I slid down Shadow's side and he wrapped his arms underneath my bum to keep me up, his head reached my stomach and I held onto his shoulders "You always know how to charm a girl don't you Gregory?" I asked teasingly, he rolled his eyes and let me slide down his body until my feet hit the ground
"And you always fall for it don't you Nora?" he asked in the same tone, I chuckled and quickly pecked his lips "Father will come looking for me again" I sighed, he nodded and took my hands in his "I actually have something to ask you" he said, I nodded as a sign for him to continue
"Do you really love me Nora?" he asked, I nodded again with raised eyebrows "I'm disgracing my family to be with you of course I love you" I exclaimed confused, his hands moved and he wrapped his arms around my waist "And would you die to be with me?" he asked hopefully, I nodded again "Yes. Why?" I asked a little worried, he smiled slightly
"The meeting tonight didn't go quite as planned. My family we have to leave England" he explained, I felt sadness take over my emotions along with curiosity "Why?" I asked shakily "We've lost something and it will take a while to get it back. I want you to come with us" he said, I smiled a little at the thought of leaving with him "Of course" I sighed happily,
he crushed his lips agains't my own and I put my hands on his neck "But I need you to sacrifice something for me" he said reluctantly, I shrugged "I'll do it. What else do I have to lose?" I asked chuckling at the end "There's something you don't know about me Nora. There is a reason I can only meet you at night" he said releasing my waist, my hands slid down his chest until they eventually dropped at my sides
"Go on" I said quietly, he sighed "I'm a vampire Nora. Your father is hunting us and that's why I have to leave, for my family's safety" he said, my eyes widened and I tried to take in the information he had just given me "Y..you're a vampire? How?" I asked nervously "My uncle turned my father a few months ago, and then father soon turned the rest of us so he wouldn't have to watch us die while he lived on" he explained, I nodded
"What exactly did you want me to give up Gregory?" I asked looking down at the muddy ground, the white hood of my cape fell over my eyes slightly "Your humanity Nora. Let me turn you and you can help us search for what we need. And you can be with me forever" he said pushing back the hood until it fell down onto my back, I ran the offer through my head a thousand times thinking over the good and bad of accepting,
but all that entered my mind was that if I said no he would leave and I would have to go back to my family...and I would never see him again "Will it hurt?" I whispered looking up at him "Yes. But only for a few seconds, you'll be asleep for a few hours afterwoods and when you wake you will only feel thirst" he said,
I nodded and closed my eyes for a few seconds before re-opening them "Don't leave me" I begged, he smiled at my answer and I noticed his sharp fangs "As long as you don't leave me" he said leaning down until his lips were agains't my neck, my eyes clenched shut as I felt his fangs on my neck "Try not to scream" before I could reply to his demand a blinding pain ran through my throat and I gasped loudly.
