My hand covered the blood on my thigh. I pressed down on it.

Sarah and Rory always had better self-control than Erica. Since Sarah and I had been dating, she changed her diet to animal blood. Sarah explained to me that animal blood isn't that satisfying but it keeps her strong.

"Sarah, Rory, get her out of here now," commanded Grandma.

They both began to drag the blonde vampire out of the room.

"Benny, help him up and get him in the kitchen," she commanded.

Benny walked over and helped me up.

"Alright, dude," he said. "Here we go."

Benny walked me to the kitchen. Grandma had me sit on their kitchen counter. Benny was instructed to take the glass pieces out of my thigh. It hurt a little bit, but not that much.

Grandma came back with a towel and a bowl of water.

"Benny, go check on Rory and the girls," said Grandma.

"Oh, yeah," he said. "Make your human grandson go outside with the vampires." He left.

I had to pull my pants down a bit so Grandma could cure the cuts.

Grandma dunk the towel in the bowl and soaked the blood off of my thigh. Then, she started mixing a potion.

"I couldn't believe that happened," I said.

"Well, a vegetarian vampire like Sarah has better self-control than Erica, who feeds on human blood," said Grandma.

"She couldn't even resist a nose bleed?"

"Not even that."

"My fault."

"Ethan, you can't blame yourself for this. You understand that they're vampires?"

"If I was one, that wouldn't happen."

"Oh, so this is what this is about. Being a vampire."

"I love Sarah. I get it that we're both different kind."

"Sweetie, she doesn't want to be what she is."

"I thought she loved me."

"She loves so much, but she doesn't want to make your life miserable. Sarah sees a vampire as a soulless creature."

After she was mixing up her potions up, she put a few drops on my cuts and they slowly healed.

"There you go," she said. I quickly pulled my pants up and zipped them up. Then, I jumped off the counter.

"Thank you, Grandma," I said.

"You're welcome, dear. Do me a favor, Ethan?"

"Yes?"

"Be careful."

I walked out the door. Rory and Erica were walking towards me. I stopped.

"No, Ethan," said Rory. "It's okay. She's under-control."

"Ethan, I'm so sorry," said Erica. "I just lost it."

"It's okay," I said.

"Just remember. No matter what. Wherever we are, if you and Benny are in trouble, we're gonna be there. Rory, Sarah, and I."

They both left.

Sarah was leaning up against my truck.

"Hey, love," I said.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"The bleeding stopped."

"Thank God. Ethan, I'm so sorry about Erica."

"Sarah, I get it. You don't have to apologize."

"It's my fault that I dragged into this crazy vampire world."

"Love—"

"Ethan, just admit it! I'm killing you! You're dy—"

Two of my fingers laid on her mouth and I stopped her talking. I said, "None of this was your fault. It was just an accident. I know Erica didn't mean to."

I let go of her mouth. We both got in my truck and I drove up to the mountains.

Once we got there, it was already dawn. We both laid on our backs on the hood of my truck.

"Sarah, could you tell me something?" I said.

"About what?" She asked.

"What was it like when you were bitten?"

"Well…it all started when Jesse first bit me. It was the most agonizing memory of my life. A burning pain would spread through your entire body faster than the speed of light. Every single vein inside of you would be on fire. The worst pain any human being could ever experience."

"Ouch."

"Yep."

"I'm saying that I want to be changed, but what if I have to?"

"You won't have to. The Council knows you're a seer. They consider you a mythological creature."

"I do nothing but see things through physical contact."

"That's powerful."

"It is?"

"I find that to be a pretty powerful gift."

"Thanks, love."

"I don't ever want you to change ito what I am."

"I know that."

I looked at her and leaned in to kiss her. Suddenly, we were making out. She was on top of me.

When we stopped, she said, "Oh, I almost forgot."

She ran in her vampire speed to a close by place and back. Sarah was on top of me. I sat up. She had a little chocolate cupcake with a candle on it. Sarah lit it and gave it to me.

"Happy birthday, love," she said. "Make a wish."

My eyes closed and I blew it. My eyes opened.

"What did you wish for?" asked Sarah.

"It's already happening." We both kissed again.
