She smiled at him; he felt a tingle as she smiled. There was something about this girl, something that he hadn't felt for anyone in a hell of a long time. This one was different.
Jenny smiled at him as they reached her house he looked at the rather large brick home and smiled.
"Your parents have money?" he asked taking in where they lived and the look of the house.
Jenny smiled shyly, "I wouldn't call it money, they just make sure that we have everything we need, I'm a public schooler that always gets told she is a military brat and I live the average life, old car as my first car, you know the normal things, the house was the cheapest we could afford when we moved, that's the only real reason that we are here" she said quietly.
Gibbs pulled her to him and put his arm around her, "do your parents know that you are out?" he asked suddenly.
Jenny looked at him terrified that he was going to do something to her or tell her parents that she had snuck out of the house so that she could clear her mind in the park. She shook her head in response and heard him chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" she questioned suddenly annoyed that he was laughing at her.
"I was just trying to work out how you are going to get into the house when your parents are in there that is all" he replied still chuckling.
Jenny looked at him, he had a point a very good point and there was no way that she was going to be able to get up on the back porch roof to get back to her room. She bit her lip and felt the blood that came from it. She sucked it into her mouth but she was too late she turned as she saw him look at her and his fangs come out. She stood there and waited frozen to the spot afraid of what might happen if she moved. He stared at her as she did him, jenny took a step forward and looked reached a hand up towards his face, she had no idea what possessed her to do so but she did. She cupped his face knowing somehow that he wouldn't do anything. She looked at him, his piercing blue eyes seeing straight into her soul, there was something wrong here, he retracted his teeth and stared at her.
"We need to talk Jen" he said after a minute before jumping the fence and walking into the backyard.
She stared at him confused as she followed, he was so normal before, before he had smelt the scent of her blood, before she had bitten her lip, there was something wrong, something that she didn't know what to do about.
She met him around the back watching him study the area. She stood next to him and gasped as he lifted her up so that she was able to stand on his shoulders and reach the patio roof. She climbed onto the roof and managing to stand up and walk to her window that was partially open. She turned to see that he was beside her, obviously whatever they had to talk about they were talking about when they got inside. She climbed in her window making sure that she was quiet so that she wouldn't wake up her parents or anyone else. She could feel him beside her, as he too climbed through the window making no sound at all.
He turned to her and looked at her, staring her right in the eyes, sapphire melting into emerald. She felt something, something she hadn't felt before, she knew other guys although none of them had ever found her attractive in that way she had always been too cold for anyone to ever contemplate about asking out. She sat on the end of her bed and motioned for him to do the same. He sat perfectly still, staring at her watching the way that she regarded the expression upon his face, he chuckled.
"We need to talk" he said again staring at her widened eyes.
She looked at him; yet again there was something that was not right about this situation. She looked at his darkened eyes and the emotion that they held. She shifted slightly so that she could see his face properly and fully.
"What about?" she asked cautiously, unsure as to whether or not she wanted to know what they needed to talk about so urgently.
He stared at her for a minute before sighing. "Jen, in the world of vampires there are a lot of strange things that happen, some are easily explainable others are not, there is a reason that I didn't attack you tonight, first in the park and then again outside your house when you drew blood. My fangs came out and my instincts took over but there was something that stopped me from biting you and drawing your blood and I can tell you now it wasn't my self control. There was something out there that stopped me and I don't know how you will react to it if I tell you why I think it happened. Jen, how do you feel about me?" he said stopping with the question that caught her off guard.
She looked at him blankly for a moment before responding, "How do I feel about you? I don't know I met you maybe an hour ago, and in that hour I have felt things that I have never felt before for any boy at all. Down there outside when I drew blood on my lip. You could have attacked me but you didn't you stood there with you fangs out in attack mode and something made me touch your face, something assured me that you wouldn't attack me. There is something in me telling me that now I am in this I am in for the long run." She answered looking at him as she said it watching as realisation dawned on his face.
He kissed her again bringing her lips to meet his caressing her face as he did, she smiled as they parted their foreheads still together, Jenny panting for the need of oxygen and Gibbs sitting there running his fingers along her cheeks.
"Jen, in the world that I come from, the one that normal mortals don't see, the supernatural world, there is a thing that is called a 'soul mate'" he said quietly watching the look that came across her face as he said this.
"What are you on about? You're a vampire you don't have a soul" she said nervously afraid as to what he would reply with.
He smirked at the naivety that she showed; she really believed the myths that said that vampires were satans spawn and that they had no souls. "Jen, I do have a soul, just because I feed on blood doesn't mean that I don't have a soul. Ever wondered if there was someone out there for you? Jen, in my world there is only one reason that a vampire won't attack a mortal and that is because they are the person that is their destiny". He said, unusually emotional about this.
Jenny stared at him slightly shocked, had he just professed his love to her, she was only sixteen and she barely knew the man that was standing before her. she felt his fingers lift her chin so that she was looking directly at him, his eyes dark.
"Are you saying that we are 'soul mates'?" she asked barely above a whisper her throat all of a sudden dry.
He could hear the nervousness and disbelief in her voice as she asked this. He stared at the emotions that crossed her face briefly before being covered so that they were unable to be seen by anyone and only able to be felt by her.
"Jen, listen the reason I didn't attack you was because i was attracted to you, not just because you're pretty or smart, but because you are you, many vampires will search the world over and they will never find their other half. You are my other half Jen, I realise this is a lot to take in but, there are a lot of things that you don't understand many that you will never but I really hope that this is one that you can understand." He said gently as he saw her face change to realisation.
Before he knew what was happening her lips were on his, her hand playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. He smiled gently against her lips as he sought entrance to her mouth which she gave. He tangled his hand in her curly red hair pulling her closer until they felt the need to part so that she could regain her breath. She rested her forehead against his her breathing heavy, his hand still entangled in her hair and her arms still around his neck.
"I think I love you Jen" he muttered quietly watching as she smiled.
"So long as you aren't going to make me get married anytime soon, I think I might feel that way about you too" she chuckled quietly before he kissed her again.
"You should sleep, I need to hunt, I actually didn't get that done earlier" he said as he kissed her neck gently scraping her teeth across her throat causing her to gasp slightly. He smirked as he heard her gasp.
"Okay, I guess I will see you tomorrow night then or can you suddenly walk in the daylight" she asked sarcastically.
He chuckled at this comment, "No, light is a little bit of an omission for me. I will meet you here tomorrow night, I have some friends I would like you to meet." He said as before he kissed her again.
"Bye Jethro" she whispered as he climbed out her window.
"Bye Jen" he replied as his feet reached the patio roof.
She walked to the window and watched as he jumped silently from the roof to the ground and ran off towards the front of the house. She sighed as she turned around and crawled up into her bed hugging her stuffed toy close, what would happen now, she had met the man of her dreams and he seemed to think they were destined to be with each other. She smiled as she fell asleep, she couldn't wait to see him the next night and she was going to meet his friends.
