I was running, So fast and so far... I didn't quite remember why I was running but I knew I had to get away. I found myself in the woods, It appeared to be late at night and it was scary as hell. It was like an endless, pitch black maze with never ending twists and turns, I didn't know where to go because everywhere I looked it was all the same. Darkness. I'd been running for a while now and I felt my body getting weaker so I rested on the bottom of a tree for a few seconds to get my breath back until I heard a voice from behind me.

"Why are you running from me, Sonny?"

It was Chad. I stared at him for a moment and began to run again but he appeared in front of me. I gulped and watched him stare at me expecting an answer.

"Aren't you going to answer me?" He tapped his foot on the muddy ground.

"I-I-..." I stuttered. "What are you?"

"I told you." Chad breathed.

"But I don't believe you. You can't be." I looked away in disbelief.

"You don't believe me? You believed me before... Before I told you this, Before you would believe everything I say... Why not now?" Chad looked confused.

"Because Vampire's dont exsist." I protested, I wasn't being fooled by him.

"They do." Chad whispered. "Why don't you believe me?"

"I don't know..." I looked around slightly confused. I guess I believed him but it was shocking really, If you had just been told that your boyfriend was a Vampire you'd have the same reaction.

"Look, Whether you believe me or not we need to get out of here. It's dangerous." Chad grabbed my hand but I pulled it away. "What... You wont let me touch you now? Is that it?"

"Dangerous?" I stared back at him.

"I have people hunting me, Slayers... Trained to kill Vampires." Chad told me as he grabbed my hand again and tried to pull me away.

I was about to argue back with him and tell him this wasn't some kind of film when I heard people getting closer and closer. Chad turned around in the direction of the noise and then looked back at me.

"Still don't believe me?" He asked.

"Fine fine." I sighed as he yanked me away.

After two seconds we ended up the grounds of a massive castle... But we were just in the forest which was a good twenty-minute walk away.

"But-" I looked around making sure everything was real and that I wasn't dreaming. "... It's real!"

"Yes Sonny... That gate is real." He stared at me as I stood rubbing the metal gate.

"Oh..." I quickly moved my hand away from the gate and focused on Chad. "How did we get here so quickly?"

"I told you. I'm a Vampire..." Chad smiled.

I smiled slightly and then looked serious. "Is it dangerous?"

"Is what dangerous?" Chad looked back seeming slightly confused about my question.

"Is a life with you dangerous... And I want your honest opinon..."

I noticed him pause for a moment and gulp before replying. "Yes, It is."

"... And you want me around that? All the danger?" I laughed.

"It's not ideal no." Chad said bluntly.

"Right well that put a damper on the situation." I tried to lighten the mood as best I could.

"But, I will always protect you and if you choose to stay with me I'll look after you." Chad smiled holding out his hand.

"Who said I was making a choice? I like danger." I smiled as I took his hand.

"Well danger is all you're gonna get!" Chad laughed.
