I fell back onto my bed, relaxing. All the sudden I thought I heard a buzzing sound in my head.
"You have no idea what you've just done..." The husky voice whispered inside my head. "I'll be visiting soon..."
I panicked slightly, but calmed myself down. I grabbed the phone on my bedside table and dialed the only person I knew that would make me feel pretty safe.
"Alex. Alex!" I whispered into the phone.
"Huh? What? Oh! Bixie! Hey there." He said groggily.
"Alex, I need you to come over, I have a strange feeling I'm being watched or stalked. You see I ran into this vampire today and I injured him and his voice, it was inside my head. I'm usually great with blocking out incoming messages." I said, partially calm.
"I'll be there as soon as I can, love." He said, as we both hung up the phone.
I waited about 5 minutes before I heard a knock on my front door; I peered through the peep hole. It was Alex. I opened the door, glancing him up and down, a warm smile appearing on my face. Alex was about 5 inches taller than me, shaggy straight black hair falling down around his ears and curving around his chin. He had brilliant caramel eyes that matched mine perfectly. His black tee-shirt clung to him, and his black skinny jeans paired well with his grey converse.
I leaned up on my tippy toes to hug him and he leaned down and hugged me back.
"Are you alright?" he asked, eyeing me.
"I'm fine. Better now, actually." I smiled again, gazing at him. When I was around him, all my arrogance evaporated.
"That's good." He smiled back, kissing my forehead.
"Yeah." I mumbled against his chest.
"You seem tired." He said quietly, scooping me up into his arms and carrying me upstairs to my bedroom.
"Not really. I'm slightly worried." I said as he set me on my bed.
"About what?" he questioned curiously.
"I ran into a vampire today. And he could telepathically talk to me in my mind. It was the strangest things, I usually filter anything from people I don't really want to hear from but he broke though that filter." I glanced up at Alex.
"That is strange." Alex said as he looked at me with worried eyes. "And you're sure it was the vampire that contacted you?"
"I'm positive." I said with confidence.
"Only very powerful creatures can break through filters you've set in your mind." He said slowly. "Did he happen to have a scar on the right side of his face?"
My eyes widened at this question as I slowly nodded my head.
"Oh no.." he said, groaning. "..Bixie you ran into the Vampire King. He often roams these forests back here because they're not very much populated by humans and usually he only hunts animals. I suspect that your rare appearance there must've been a surprise for him."
"Wait? The Vampire King? I thought he was dead!" I said, shocked.
"It's his son that's taken over now." He said.
"Figures." I muttered under my breath.
"Don't worry about it, love. I'm sure we can settle this out with him without having to resort to violence." He reassured me, by sitting next to me on my bed.
I leaned into him, feeling his steady, even breathing. I nodded my head sleepily, falling asleep slowly as my vision went black.
The next morning, I woke up more relaxed. I sighed, glancing around my room, seeing Alex perched out on the edge of my window.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Enjoying the view from here." He said as he turned back to face me.
"But I don't quite enjoy that view as much as I do the one standing right in front of me." He smiled.
I blushed a very light shade of red. He jumped into my room, whirling past me, arriving right behind me.
"You should really check out the view more," He whispered in my ear, his arms around my waist, bringing me in front of my full length mirror. My hair was all tossed around and I had a few dark circles under my eyes.
"Perhaps I would if it were actually worth viewing." I laughed.
"Oh but it is, trust me, I would know." He grinned.
"You're funny," I smiled, pulling away from his arms, walking toward my staircase and descending it.
"Breakfast time?" he peered around the door from my room.
"Yeah." I called back up the staircase, preceding the go to the refrigerator. He sped down the staircase, arriving at the fridge before I did. "You seem hungry."
"Oh, I am. Though the elixir isn't what I'm eyeing." He grinned, a glint in his eye.
"Uh-oh.." I slowly backed away into the living room, but before I could get far I was pushed by force back into the couch. I felt his hands reaching around my waist, a brilliant smile on his face. He leaned into kiss my nose.
"Absolutely perfect." he said, smiling.
"Can I eat now?" I laughed.
"Who says I'm going to let you go just like that," he muttered into my hair. I swear, sometimes he could be so serious, but other times he could be so silly. I smiled to myself.
"Please.." I begged.
"Fine." He laughed, releasing me. I walked over to the fridge again, pulling out a bottle of the red liquid.
"You know this stuff almost looks like blood." I smirked.
"No wonder so many people get us confused." He chuckled.
"Yeah, no wonder." I said, and then drank the elixir. He took his own bottle and drank his portion of the elixir.
"Delicious." He said with a charming smile.
All of a sudden I heard a knock on my door.
"I didn't invite anybody over.." I said curiously.
"I'll go with you to get the door." He said, following me.
