Hey,
Okay, here is where twilight story line changes a bit. Vanessa and George's romance is not like Edward and Bella. Bella and Edward are reflected in Derek and Meredith. Thanks for the reviews, I loved it. I'm glad you love the story. I changed twilight a bit, because I felt that Meredith would do things in another way then Bella did. And Derek is not Edward. I love twilight, lovely books. Okay, here are some things to think about. How were the followling turned: Mark Sloan, Callie Torres, Carolyn and Carlisle Shepherd and Miranda Bailey.
Disclaimer: The lovely story line of twilight was written by the lovely Stephanie Meyer. And the grey's charectors belong to me. Vanessa Grey however was made up by me.
Tell me what you think. A next chapter mind follow soon, if I get a lot of reviews. There will be 2 chapters left in this one. And then I'll solve this story. I'm going to do new moon, but then things are going to change.
What do you think about the romances? (Vanessa/George, Meredith/Derek, Calizona.) And what couples would you like to see happen?
I hope you enjoy this,

2. The Shepherds
"So how are you?" George stared in her eyes. "I mean I like your art. It speaks to me."
"Yeah." Vanessa nodded her head "So my art is doing something you haven't been doing like forever."
"Nes." George stared in her eyes.
"Don't call me that." Vanessa swept the pencil over his shirt "You haven't talked to me. You are not my friend. Only my friends call me that. To you it's Vanessa."
"Vanessa." George stared at her. "I can't be close to you. You.."
"What is it about me?" Vanessa stared in his eyes. "What is it about me that makes you behave this way?" o
"I don't know." Vanessa stared in his eyes. "I just can't be around, that's all."
"What were you talking about yesterday?" Vanessa turned around facing him. "That I would find out sooner what was wrong with you guys. Why don't you just tell me now."
"I can't." George walked around. "I can't tell you, if I do I'll ruin your view on reality."
"But I can find out myself?" Vanessa turned to face him. "Tell me, it can't be that bad."
"Trust me." George rolled his eyes. "You will not be prepared for what I would be telling you."
"I can handle it."
"So I keep thinking that Sam would ask me to the prom." Naomi turned to Meredith. "But he still hasn't."
"So you should ask him." Meredith replied "I mean be the strong woman. Guys like that."
Finn was walking towards her. Behind her where two other of her trailer friends. They lived near. Meredith didn't know the two other. There was a man and a woman. The woman seemed very beautiful, tall and blond. And there was no reason for her to be outcast. The man was well muscled and had beautiful blue eyes.
"Finn." Meredith stood up. Hugging him. "Everyone this is Finn."
They both sat down on a little bench. "So are you stalking me?"
"You're on my territory." Finn smiled at her "Are you surfing?"
"No." Meredith smiled at him. "I'm not in to that stuff. Dark and twisty people don't surf. You should know that by now. "
"You guys should keep Meredith company." Arizona replied " Her date bailed."
"What date?" Alex asked. He stared at the blond girl a little to long, and she turned her face away from him.
"McDreamy didn't show up. I mean Derek Shepherd." Cristina replied
"She invited McDreamy." Lexie laughed
"I was just being polite." Meredith replied
"You should. I think it's nice. " Arizona replied "No body ever asks him anywhere."
"Because he's a creep." Alex replied
"You got that right." The blond girl replied "I'm Izzie by the way. This guy next to me, is Owen."
"You guys know him?" Meredith stared at both person.
"Oh we know them." Izzie replied Izzie rolled her eyes. "The Shepherds don't come here."
Meredith walked next to Finn, over the beach while her friends were surfing. Meredith didn't understand why Izzie and Owen were so mean about Derek. Did they know something about him that she didn't? And would Finn know about it?
"What did your friends mean about 'the Shepherds don't come here?" Meredith stared at him.
"Caught that Huh?" They ware walking along each other. Without even staring in one another's eyes. "I'm not really suppose to say anything about it."
"Hey, I can keep a secret." Meredith smiled "My sister mind hear about it. But that's it."
"Really it's just an old scary story, an urban legend. Like the Blair witch and stuff." Finn finely looked in her eyes.
"Well, I want to know." Meredith replied "I like scary stories. I'm dark and twisty, I live for scary."
"Did you know that the Outcast supposedly were descended from wolfs?" Finn smiled at her.
"What?" Meredith stared at him. "Wolves? As in real."
"That's the legend of our trail." Finn stared at her.
"So what's the story about the Shepherds?" Meredith stopped walking. Finn turned to her.
"Well they say that they are from this enemy clan." Finn explained. "My great grandfather found them haunting on our land. But they claimed to be something different. So we made a pact. If they promised to stay away, we wouldn't expose what they really were to the pale faces."
"I thought they just moved here?" Meredith stared at him.
"Just moved back, you mean." Finn started to walk again, causing Meredith to follow him. "
"Uh." Meredith gave him a soft smile "Right. What are they really?"
"Meredith it's just a story." Finn touched her shoulder. "Come on let's go."
"I'm going out." Vanessa yelled before she left the room. Meredith was on her computer, typing in the Outcast legends. She didn't expect to find anything. She didn't believe the story Finn had told her. She believed he was just trying to scare her or something. She typed it in Google to find a whole list of possibilities. Meredith stared around, pointing the first thing she could see. She found a place where they sold the book. Meredith slowly noted the name of the book, and the address.
"Mer." It was Arizona's voice. "I'm outside your house. And me and the rest of the girls are going to shop for a dress. And I thought you mind like to join us."
"Sure." Meredith hung up the phone. Staring out of the window. The car was on the front porch. She stared at it. She grabbed her bag, heading it out.
"I'm going out." Meredith yelled before slamming the door.
"Come on Mer." Arizona pointed to her "Where's Nes? Isn't she coming?"
"Nes, I assumed she was with you." Arizona stared at the others who were in the car "She's probably out with some other friend. From art class or something."
"Probably."
"Why did you want to see me?" Vanessa stared at George "I mean you talked to me once. And now all of the sudden we are buddies. I mean, that's not."
"I wanted to do something." George hang closer to her. Pushing her to the three she was standing to. He crushed her lips with his. Moving his hands down her back. Vanessa slowly relaxed in his embrace. Letting his hands rest on her back. His other hand was resting over her hand on the three. It was covering hers. He kept pulling her closer to him, biting her lip.
"Au." Vanessa reacted "You bit my lip. Au."
"Sorry." George slowly touched her cheek. "I get over excited sometimes. I didn't mean to hurt you."
"That's okay." Vanessa stared in his eyes. "Why would you want to kiss me? I mean.. "
"You are different from the others." George hang closer to her "I can't seem to figure out why. I mean you smell good. You smell so good."
"The whole sniffing people thing." Vanessa smiled "Kind of gross;"
"So what do you think of this dress?" Naomi walked out of the booth. "I mean it's .."
"It's so pink." Meredith laughed "You wouldn't ever catch me dead in a dress like that. But it looks kind of good on you."
"This is really not your thing." Arizona smiled walking outside in a blue dress
"No I would rather go to this book store." Meredith replied "I'll met you guys in the restaurant."
"Okay." Meredith walked out of the shop. On the street, she didn't know where to go. She wished she brought her car. So she could drive home. But she didn't think about it. She was a bit worried about her sister, who was not with her usual friend group. And Meredith didn't believe that Vanessa was popular. She entered the book store, searching for the book between all the others. It was like one of those occult shops. Stuffed with dusty old books. Meredith walked wanted to get out as fast as possible. And that is what she did. She walked outside, with the book under her arm.
The streets were cold, calm and empty. No body was around, and it was very dark for the time of the year. Meredith took the book closer to her chest. Breathing in the fear she had. She didn't want to care about stuff like this. But she did. Meredith slowly walked over the street. Guys were staring at her, and before Meredith knew it. They were heading in her direction. Meredith started to run, walking away from the man. They seemed like the type she wouldn't like. And she was not about to just stand there. Meredith walked, but the man they seemed to be to fast. Grabbing her from behind. Around her waist. The man came closer, and Meredith felt the fair.
"Oh you're on of them. Aren't you pinky?" One of the man told her. She was terrified. Meredith was pale, and they still got a hold of her waist. She tried to kick. She tried to scream. "Don't try to scream. No body is going to hear you. Pinky."
She heard brakes, a grey car stopped by. And it was Derek Shepherd got out of it. Punching the once guy that had a hold of her. Meredith's frame body fell to the floor. Causing her to scream a bit.
"Get in the car." Derek yelled to Meredith. "Get in the car."
"That was not very nice." Meredith stared at him from the car. She couldn't see the look on his face, but she could tell that he was very angry. Very angry. Meredith was scared. She didn't know what to say, or what to do. She was getting lost in herself. The man seemed to walk away, and then Derek got back in the car. Staring at Meredith.
"Are you okay?" He touched her cheek.
"I was going to be okay." Meredith stared at him. "I mean I was doing fine."
"You don't know the violent, disgusting things they were thinking about." Derek stared at her.
"You do?" Meredith's noticed the car was moving.
"It's not hard to guess." Derek replied "Can we talk about something else, before I turn around. And kill those bastards for what they were doing to you. "
"You should put your seatbelt on." Meredith replied
"Put your seatbelt on." Derek laughed. His laugh sounded so cool.
"George." Vanessa was still against that three. Kissing the boy she feel for. She could feel his hands on her bottom. She stared around. Then she heard something, out of the darkness. It seemed to be like some kind of animals. "George, stop it. I think I heard a strange noise."
"No you didn't." George kissed her neck line. "It's just your imagination."
"I'm sure I heard something." Vanessa gave him a quick kiss on the lips "I think I should get home. Mer is going to be worried. And I don't want Mer to get worried."
"Okay." George turned to her, giving her a small kiss on her cheek. "I'll bring you home."
"You're sure you don't want any of my pizza?" Meredith stared at him. "I mean you need to eat right?"
"Not really." Derek smiled "I'm on a special diet."
"You got to give me some answers." Meredith took a bite of her pizza.
"Yes, No, Maybe." Derek smiled "The clash, 1,77245.."
"I don't want to know the square root of pi is." Meredith replied "We're not on school. Both of us know what I'm talking about."
"How did you know where I was?" Meredith stared at her "That I was in trouble. How did you know?"
"I didn't." Derek replied Meredith got of the table, Derek caught her hand. "Wait. Don't leave, I'm not going to pay for some pizza you are not even finishing."
"Did you follow me?" Meredith stared in his eyes.
"I feel very protective of you." Derek replied
"So you were following me." Meredith stared in his eyes.
"I was keeping a safe distant." Derek replied "And then I heard what those bastards were thinking. And I snapped. I couldn't let them hurt you."
"You say you could read their mind?" Meredith turned around "That's crap. It's not possible. You know that I know that. We all know that. There is no such thing."
"I can read every mind on the whole side of the planet." Derek touched her face "Every single thought that's on their mind. But I can't seemed to read your mind. And then you, there's nothing"
"Why is that?" Meredith turned around. "Yeah, because you can't read mind. Your just making this up. So I would get impressed, and would sleep with you. Isn't that it?"
"It's very frustrating that I can't read your mind." Derek replied
"Is there something wrong with me?" Meredith stared in his eyes. "Am I to dark and twisty to read my mind? Is my hair to pink?"
"No." Derek touched her hand. "You are perfect. Absolutely perfect. But you will have to tell me what you are thinking. Don't keep me guessing. Communicate. I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore."
"So don't." Meredith stared in his eyes.
On the ride home Meredith wasn't able to think about anything but Derek. He was driving the car. And she started to think about. Mind reader, Derek was a mind reader. But he couldn't read her mind. It didn't explain everything. So Derek was a so called psychic. But it didn't tell her why he was so strong. Or anything ells. She slowly touched his hand, that was lying in between them. But she felt the cold. She hadn't felt that before. It was like her eyes were opening right now. He had cold hands. And.. Meredith got out of the car. Running upstairs. To find her sister on the bed. Freaked out. She was shivering. A bit.
"He had such cold hands." Vanessa shivered 'Such cold hands. And he bit me"
Meredith found a trail in her neck, made by tooth. Like a vampires bide, right there in her sisters neck. He hadn't bitten to kill. But he certainly did try to do something.
"What happened?" Meredith sat down next to her.
"There were this 3 people." Vanessa shivered "They bit me. And then George, he fought them. Oh My God, George.. They were so scary Meredith."
"Shh.." Meredith hugged her sister close "Shhh, everything is okay to be okay. You're okay."
"she's not the first one." Thatcher Grey was standing in the door frame. He stared at Meredith while her smaller sister was asleep. "She's the first one to escape tough. Some high school student got attacked by some kind animal."
"An animal?" Meredith stared at him. "She has bite marks in her neck. That is not animal."
"She told me, she didn't see any tithing." Thatcher replied "Your sister was lucky. I don't even know what she was doing with that boy in the middle of the forest. But I'm not her father."
Meredith grabbed the book, opening it on the first page. Vanessa shifted in her sleep, and she slowly slipped her hari behind her ear. She stared at the page. She knew what Derek was, she knew what attacked her sister. There was only one worth that told her. Vampire.
"You bastard." Meredith walked up to him on school. "You are a freaking vampire, and you didn't feel the need to tell me. Is that why George invited my sister to the forest. Were you guys getting hungry?"
"Not here, Meredith." Derek stared at her. Grabbing her arm. When she finally released what they were doing, Derek had pulled her to the other side of the woods. "How did you even find out?"
"Oh, yeah." Meredith rolled her eyes. "My sister has this two little bite marks in her neck. And you say that you want to protect me, when all you want is to eat my sister for breakfast."
"Meredith, I don't know what you are talking about." Derek touched her cheek. "I mean your sister, I thought George didn't like her in that way."
"Well, she's in bed." Meredith stared at him. "All panicked; Yes, she's alive. Are you killing those people? Are you?"
"I didn't." Derek stared in her eyes. "My family and I we are different from other of our kind. We don't drink human blood. We never did."
"Oh, so you tasted my sister last night." Meredith turned to him. "You thought she smelt good. So you and your nice lovely vampire family decided to drink some. Right?"
"Meredith." Derek stared in her eyes. "George told me, it were other vampires. He had never seen them before. It's not us. I swear."
"Bring me back." Meredith yelled "Bring me back to the school. And then never ever speak to me again."
"But Mer.." Derek stared at her.
"I made myself perfectly clear." Meredith stared at him. "Nobody of your family comes near me Or my family. Or I'll drive this stake trough your heart turning you in dust particles."
"Arizona." Callie walked towards her "So how's that little friend of yours that got attacked by the animal?"
"She's not at school." Arizona replied "She's kind of at home. She's still panicked. An animal bit in her neck. It's so Draculaish. I mean it's seems like…"
"Nothing." Callie replied "I heard there this bets that bit that way. I mean that makes sense right?"
"Right." Arizona stared in her eyes. "Wouldyouliketog otothepromwithm e?"
"What?" Callie turned to face her "I didn't catch that."
"I asked would you like to go to the prom with me?" Arizona replied calmly.
"Sure." Callie smiled "I'd love to."
I fell for a monster. A monster that could kill you in one smooth move.
A vampire. Derek, McDreamy, was McVampire.
How did this happen to me? And how do I make it stop?
"He's a vampire." Meredith stared at her sister. "Derek, McDreamy is a McVampire. He's destroying my McLife. And I'm not talking to him. He can read minds, he's super fast. And.."
"And George?" Vanessa sat up "Is he okay? I mean.."
"George is a vampire to." Meredith touched her hair. "George is a vampire. Probably the one that tried to kill you. I mean it was probably Addison, or McSteamy that were drinking your blood."
"No." Vanessa reacted "It was that heart surgeon, the famous one. Carlin Marlow. Or he looked like it. I mean.. And a woman, blond hair. And another man, afro American. George tried to save me. He.. saved…me"
"I knew something was wrong about the Shepherd." Meredith replied "I just didn't know they were like that."
"You mean vampires." Vanessa replied
"Derek says his family don't eat humans." Meredith turned to her. "I didn't believe him. I mean he's a vampire, a vampire. That's got to be sick. I mean, I can't date a vampire.
"I kind off." Vanessa stared at her. "I kissed George a lot. He seemed nice."
"He's a monster." Meredith hugged her "You shouldn't be seeing him. Any of them."
"What about Arizona and Callie?" Vanessa stared at her. "You told her to ask Callie out. Is she? I mean if she is, does she know that the Shepherds are vampires."
"No." Meredith replied "And I'm not telling her. She doesn't need to know. Callie would never go for her anyway."
"I hate vampires." Vanessa threw the book against the door forcing it to close.
"Meredith is mad with me." Derek stared at Miranda Bailey.
"Don't look at me." She walked in the school. "I told you it was not a good idea to get involved with anyone. And then two of us. Two of us, willing to date a mortal. 2 of the clan. Next thing you will be saying is that .."
"Actually 3." Callie replied "Arizona asked me out. "And I said yes. "
"Are you guys losing your mind?" Miranda Bailey called the Shepherds together. "You guys are slipping away. You get together with Vanessa Grey, the daughter of the chief and make out in the forest. She get attacked. Nice going. And you McDreamy, you meet Meredith Grey and she finds out that you are a vampire. By now everyone of that little friend groups knows that we are vampires."
"Meredith won't tell anyone." Derek replied "Maybe Nes."
"Lexie doesn't know." Mark replied "I mean she still smiles at me. So that tells me she doesn't know. If she knew what I was. Trust me, she would be acting like Meredith."
"The vampire attack?" Addison stared at them. "Do you know who it could have been? I mean what vampires would have attacked someone with a vampire close. Unless.."
"They didn't know that George was a vampire." Addison replied "Maybe we should stop thinking this is all about us. Maybe this is about the Grey sisters."
"I sure as hell like Little Grey." Mark replied "But the Grey with the pink hair, she sure is dark and twisty."
"She kind of broke up with me." Derek replied "I mean she doesn't even talk to me anymore. She told me to stay away from he. And that I shouldn't come near her sister as well."
"So what are we going to do? " Miranda Bailey asked "We've been exposed. 2 girls know that we are vampires. I think we should…"
"Addison, what are we worrying about?" Callie turned to her. "It's not like they are going to spread it on national TV. I mean Meredith can keep my secret."
"Sure, she thinks you're a monster." Miranda replied "Who thinks we were trying to have her little sister for lunch. An d you say that, that girl is not going to say anything. That's nonsense, Derek. She'll be telling this thing before you can even breath."
"Vanessa would not." George replied "We have a connection."
"Again, that was before Meredith told her about your being a blood sucker." Miranda replied "These girls get sick by vampires. They don't understand. All they think is, that we are going to kill them. Before they find a way to do anything at all."
"she's could be right about that." George replied "The one time we meet, she ends up getting bitten by a vampire we have never met. Talk about safe. Something is going on, and I have no idea what clan could be possibly responsible for this."
"What do you mean?" Miranda stared at her "What vampire could possible want to get back to a teenage girl?"
"I don't know." Derek replied "But her mother is Ellis Grey. Maybe that.;"
"What vampire would like to kill, the daughter of a famous doctor, with the Grey method."
"Vampires." Callie turned around "Can't live with them. Can't kill them."
"When do you think they haunt?" Meredith stared at Vanessa "I mean do they go haunt for animals at night. Or do they do it during the day?"
"I have no idea." Vanessa replied "I don't want to know. I don't want to see any Shepherds anymore. Why can't Buffy come here, and we would be done with it."
"I don't think Buffy deals with Seattle." Meredith blushed "Specially this this kind of vampire. How do you kill a vampire?"
"I don't know." Meredith lifted her shoulders "Sat them on fire. Stake them, I don't know how. Maybe you should cut them in pieces, and put them in acid."
"Put them in one room with our mother." Vanessa replied "That ought to kill him. Unless it's a surgeon, those people adore that kind of thing."
"Sure as hell." Meredith stared at her. "What has to be wrong with me. I'm a dark and twisty person with pink hair. Dating a vampire. That can't be right."
"At least you are not begging him to be a vampire." Vanessa replied "If you do that, we'll be in hell."
"I have pink hair, I'm dark and twisty." Meredith rolled her eyes "Now I'm dating a vampire, named McDreamy! To bad. It sounds like I'm all stupid. And self destructive."
"Nes." George stepped up to her. "You are ignoring me. After I saved you from that animal."
"Vampire, George." Vanessa rolled her eyes. "You saved me from the vampire. And when were you going to tell me that you are a vampire? I mean, when were you going to tell me that you don't exactly walk with the day. Or something."
"I wasn't." George replied "Derek was going to tell Meredith. And I was not really going to tell you,. I mean how do you tell someone that you are a vampire."
"My name is George, Oh by the way I would like to tell you that I'm a blood sucking vampire. Who would like to drink your blood." George stopped her "This vampires, they were after you."
"They killed 2 people George." Vanessa replied "It was coincidence. I mean.."
"It wasn't." George replied "They didn't got for the kill. They could have killed you, if they wanted to. They didn't know I was a vampire."
"Oh, so one more person that lied to me." Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Stay away from me."
"I can't." He was standing in front of her. He moved fast, to fast so she could not escape him, even if she wanted to. She wouldn't be able to escape him. "I.."
"Keep your lies for yourself. McVampire." Vanessa rolled her eyes. "The last thing I need is someone to kill me in my sleep. I know you are fast, but stay away from me. And stay out of my head."
"Vanessa." George touched her cheek. "I would never hurt you. I would never.."
"I don't know." Vanessa stared in his eyes. "I don't know what I saw. I just know it wasn't you. You are not a bad guy. I just know it wasn't you."
"Calm." He touched her cheek. "This is important. Who did you see? Shh.."
"I saw Carlin Marlow." Vanessa stared at him. "I saw Carlin Marlow, I didn't know my favorite heart surgeon was a vampire. He used to work at my father's hospital. I swear that's who I saw Carlin Marlow."
"Oh." George gave her a short look. "Revenge."
"But me?" Vanessa stared at her. "So he could be in my house any time?"
"Yeah, it's not like we need an invitation." George replied "I'm not going to let anything happen to you or Meredith. I know she's important to Derek. I'll do everything. So you could keep being alive."
"I still…" Vanessa stared in his eyes. "I'm still not okay with you being a vampire. It's weird."
"How did he.." Vanessa turned back to him. "I mean why? Who? Vampire.."
"It was Addison." George turned to her "Addison worked as a doctor. I was one of her patients. I jumped in front of a bus, saving a child's life. 4 or something. Addie found me. I was almost dead when she was, John Doe, everyone had given up on me. When they did, she bit me. She turned me. She named me George O'Malley. I don't know what my real name was. I have no idea."
"When?" Vanessa turned to him. "I mean how long have you been a vampire?"
"I've been a vampire for 10 years now." George walked up to her. "First it was just Addie and me. Addie turned me. She's like a sister to me. A big sister in a way. Then she got a premonition, we needed to go find man whore Mark Sloan, and join the Shepherds. That's what we did. I've been with them for 3 years now. I tried to date Callie, but things didn't work out."
"And Addie?" Vanessa stared at him. "How was she… turned?"
"Addie." George turned to face her. "Addie was a victim of the witch haunts in Salem. Her mother and Addie were exposed as witches. Addie was 17 back then. Her mother was captured. She could escape, but that wasn't the end of the story. Addie tried to get away, but a couple people got to her. They captured her, and took matters in their own hands. They left her for dead after they were done. She was barely breathing. Barely alive. It was an old vampire who turned her. Addie doesn't know."
"Carlisle maybe?" Vanessa turned to him. "So your life, what was it like?"
"Not much." George replied "I was in high school. I was a loser. And nobody like me. I was a no body. As a vampire, I'm a somebody."
"You don't need to be vampire, to be a somebody." Vanessa leaned closer to him. "You need to be you. Just you, that's enough for me. I'm sure it should be for you."
"Vanessa, I love you." George touched her cheek. "Please be careful. I can't lose you."
"I'll be." Vanessa stared at him. "I don't know if I can be with you. I am afraid of what you are. A vampire, those things they bit me. They tried to kill me, how do you know that one day you won't snap. And kill me. How do you know?"
"I don't." George sniffed her. "I don't know if I'll be able to control myself when I'm with you. I don't want to be drown to you. But for some reason I am. The last thing I want to do, is to hurt you."
"I think it's better that we aren't friends." Vanessa stared at him. "It's better, so my heart doesn't get broken. I can't handle this. And if I let this go on, I'll need you. And I don't want to need anyone. I don't want to be like that. I don't want to need anyone."
"It gets lonely." George stared at her. "Being by yourself it gets lonely."
Meredith Grey was sitting next to her little half sister, Lexie Grey. Lexie was the 15 year old brat, that Meredith didn't really like. But Lexie seemed to like stalking her all over to school. Specially now Vanessa wasn't there. Mark Sloan walked, by, and Meredith could see Lexie wave to him. And smile.
"You should not really be talking to Mark Sloan." Meredith replied "He's not good for you."
"Just because you broke off things with McDreamy, doesn't mean I can't get my chance with McSteamy." Lexie replied "You are just jealous of me."
"Believe me Lexie." Meredith rolled her eyes. "Jealous is the last thing you will call me. Why would I be jealous. As you mentioned, I broke things off with Derek."
"It's all over the school." Lexie replied "Only in that rumor, you didn't break things off. You got dumped. By McDreamy. And I think you are lying about dumping him. I don't think he would like to go out with someone like you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Meredith stared at her. "No one could like me, because I'm dark and twisty. I have pink hair, and I like to listen to rock music once in a while."
"Perhaps." Lexie rolled her eyes.
"Have you heard." Arizona sat down next to them. The look on their faces told them they hadn't heard anything. Arizona continued. "That crazy Rebecca Pope, she got killed by some kind of animal last night. The weird thing is that her body was completely drained of blood. She wasn't even in the forest."
"The attacks get closer to town?" Meredith stared at them. "How is that even.."
"Possible?" Arizona replied "They say aliens. I mean they are exploring the environment. Killing crazy people, or someone."
"I don't think it's aliens." Meredith replied "I don't think it's aliens at all."
"Do you know something?" Arizona stared at her. "Something that we don't know."
"I don't know anything." Meredith replied "I'm just telling you not to jump to any conclusions, until we have the full story."
"Well, I'm going to the prom with Calliope Torres." Arizona smiled "I asked her out. And she said yes."
"She did?" Meredith wanted to say that she couldn't go out with a vampire, but she didn't know how to. She couldn't tell them the secret. She knew that it would change them, just like it changed her. "So you and Callie?"
"Yep." Arizona nodded. Meredith stared at Derek, walking across the parking lot. Meredith didn't listen to Arizona, she walked behind him. Until he stopped an turned around.
"What do you want Meredith?" Derek's eyes were still blue. "I mean you tell me that I can't see you. And you follow me now. Why is that?"
"Derek, Rebecca, she got attacked in town." Meredith turned to her "I mean she got attacked in town. The attacks are getting closer. I'm worried Derek, not just about me and my sisters but about everyone. Do you know.."
"NO." Derek replied "I don't know who's doing this. I have no idea. It's not me and my family. Why can't you believe that I don't want to hurt anyone."
"I do." Meredith reacted "I do believe that. Hating you. It's hard, it's so god damn hard. It takes a lot of energy not to see you. Derek, I'm in love with you. As in holding a radio over my head. Letting you eat the last cheese cake. Pretending to like your kind of music. It's what you are that makes you hate you. And I don't want to hate you. I love you. The thing is that the vampire thing it scares me."
"I know." Derek stared in her eyes.
"No, you don't know." Meredith replied "It makes me hate what you are. It makes me afraid. I'm afraid that you won't be able to control yourself. And that you will bite me. And that you will blame yourself. And I don't want anyone to. I'm not worth that guilt."
"Meredith." Her touched her face. "You are kind, sweet, caring and protective off your family. You are not afraid of the darkness. You are worth every good thing that comes your way. "
"Derek." she had tears in her eyes. "Part of me wants to forget, too. Forget meeting you, finding out what you are"
"If that's what you want." Derek touched her cheek. "I would give it to you, but I can't."
"Yes, it is." Meredith stared at him. "Because I don't want it to be like this. I don't wanna feel like this. But I can't. With everything that happened…I can't lose the way I feel about you. I can't. I want to, but I can't."
Derek Shepherd found the way to my heart. A short cut.
In the end, all I wanted was him. To love him.
But I was afraid of the monster that was hiding inside of him.
A monster, he would never let me deal with.
About 3 things I was absolutely positive:
First: Derek was a vampire.
Second: That was a part of him, a part that scared me. How bad the thirst for my blood was.
And third : I was unconditional and irretrievably in love with him.
"What's going on with Meredith and McDreamy?" Cristina was on the beach of La Push with Arizona and Lexie. Hanging around. "I mean she's been acting weird. Like someone broke her heart or something."
"They say that McDreamy turned her down." Lexie replied "She says she ended things. I mean, she's so weird. She's my sister, but I find her weird."
"What's going on with you?" Izzie and Owen walked towards them. "You are Meredith's friends right?"
"Sure." Christina replied "You are Owen Hunt right?"
"Yep, and you are?" He stared at her. Until she started smiling, and offered him her hand.
"I'm Cristina Yang." She stared at Owen Hunt. "I'm Meredith's best friend. And she's mine."
"So, you trust that Derek Shepherd?" Owen sat down. "I would keep Meredith away from him. If she doesn't she could get very hurt."
"Why?" Cristina stared at her. "What do you know?"
"Trust me." Owen stared in her eyes. "You don't want to get involved with his kind."
"What do you mean?" Cristina saw him walk away. "Do you mean .."
Derek kiss Meredith on her lips. Pushing her down the bed, Meredith felt his lips on hers. And she loved the feeling. She felt how he continued down her neckline. She shouldn't be doing this. She shouldn't be kissing Derek Shepherd like this. He was a vampire. But there was nothing she could do, she couldn't resist him. She could never resist him. The way he looked at her. The way he touched her. And then she felt pain, a burning pain in her neck. The next thing she saw was Derek. There was her blood on his lips. He was staring in her eyes.
"Derek." she stares in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mer." He hang closer to her. "I'm so sorry."
"Derek, please, no." And then he bit her again. She felt the life slipping out of my body. She felt the pain. And she could feel his hands, close to her heart. Her heart beat faster, while the life slipped out of her body.
"Derek, please. Stop. " Meredith's voice says silently.
Meredith wakes up in her bed. Terrified. She screamed it out, when she woke up. Feeling her neck line. She didn't feel the tooth marks he made in her dream. It was a dream, a simple dream. There was sweat on her forehead. And she was sitting up in her bed.
"What's going on Mer?" Vanessa stared at her. In Boston, this kind of thing didn't happen. Vanessa and Meredith didn't chare a room. Vanessa and Meredith were not together all the time. And moving to Seattle brought the girls closer together.
"I had a nightmare." Meredith replied "It was Derek, he was killing me."
"McDreamy was killing you?" Vanessa got up out of the bed. Sitting down on Meredith's "What do you think this means?"
"I think it means that I'm scared." Meredith replied "That I'm scared of him."
"George he told me how he became a vampire." Vanessa replied
"You saw George?" Meredith touched her hand. "That's not smart. I mean.."
"You saw Derek, I saw you and him together." Vanessa replied "And I just remembered something about my past. Do you remember that I was saved by this man, with the bus."
"Yes." Meredith nodded "He was.. I don't know. We never knew who he was."
"Do you remember Addison?" Vanessa stared in her eyes.
"I don't know, Nes." Meredith touched her hand. "It has been so long. To long."
"I just can't help but think." Vanessa lay down beside Meredith. "I can't help but think who that man was."
"I don't want to go to sleep." Meredith had tears in her eyes. "I don't want to feel his teeth in my neck again. It feels like he's betraying me. Biting me, I'm afraid. What if he can't help it. If he bites me."
"I don't know." Vanessa stared in her eyes. "All I know is that, I can't miss George. I like him so much. I don't believe this stuff. I just don't.
Maybe me and Derek fated to be together, but just for a while. And then maybe our time passed. I told Vanessa that when I was grown up, I'd take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let some guy drag me down. Vanessa said I'd be lucky if I ever had that kind of passion with someone. And that if I did, we'd be together forever.
Even now, I believe that for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending, most of the time. And that sometimes, despite all your best choices, and all your best intentions, fate wins anyway.
At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines… or you can live your life crossing them.
"Derek." Meredith took the phone against her ear. "We need to talk."
But there are some lines… that are way too dangerous to cross.
Here's what I know: If you're willing to take the chance, the view from the other side… is spectacular.

"Calliope." Arizona smiled at her. "It's nice to see you. How are you?"
"Fine." Callie stared at her. "Are you okay? You haven't seen anything weird, right?"
"Not really." Arizona started smiling. "I have cheerleading practice, and then Meredith and I are going to La Push. If you want to join us."
"No, I don't really like that beach." Callie stared at her. "I mean I don't like the beach in general."
"Derek?" Meredith walked up to him. "I need you. I need you in my life. I need you by my side. I love you. So can we try to make this work. I know that you can control yourself."
"You think so." Derek stared in her eyes. "I love you, I don't want anything to happen to you. I think you made the right decision about staying away from me. I didn't see it at first but now I do. Meredith, I'm a killer."
"I don't believe that." Meredith replied
"It's because you believe the lie." Derek got closer to her. " the camouflage. I'm the worlds most dangerous predator. Everything about me invites you in. My voice, my eyes, my face even my smell. As if I would need it."
Derek disappears, he reappears behind her. Meredith has fear on her eyes, she doesn't feel at ease with Derek behaving this way. He's standing on a three staring at her. "As if you could outrun me."
He once again moves away fast. Meredith can feel the wind in her ears, then wind that causes him to move around her. She feels unsure, and she feels like Derek is trying to push her away.
"As if you could fight me off." Derek pulls a branch of a three, throwing it away. Meredith steps away from the place he's standing. "I'm designed to kill."
"You make me afraid, Derek." Meredith's eyes were tearing up. "This is not you."
"I've killed people before." Derek walks closer.
"That doesn't matter. You are different ,Derek. You could never kill me." Meredith walked closer.
"I wanted to kill you." Derek pushed her away. "I've never wanted a humans blood so much. And I thought I could ignore it. But I can't. "
"Derek, you can do this." Meredith kissed his cheek. "You are my McDreamy."
"Don't trust me." Derek walked away. "You shouldn't trust me. I'm a bad guy. I'm not right for you."
"I trust you Derek." Meredith stared at him. "I didn't before. Because I believe you hurt my sister. But it wasn't you, it wasn't any of your family. I should feel bad."
"Meredith." Derek hang closer to her. "Your smell is like a drug to me. Your like my own personal brand of heroine."
"Why did you hate me so much when we first met?" Meredith stared at him.
"I did." Derek stared in her eyes. "Only because I wanted you so bad. I still don't know if I can control myself around you. I hope I can."
"I know you can." Meredith came closer to him. "I know because you are my McDreamy. I'll help you."
"There are better guys then me." Derek turned to her. "Anyone Alex."
"You are the one." Meredith stared at her. "My sister told me that someone would see past my pink hair. And past the fact that I was dark and twisty. You noticed me, when no one did. You love me just the way I am. Dark and twisty, pink hair. That's why. I loved you before I know what you were. And I love you, even tough you are a vampire."
"I can't read your mind." Derek walked away, causing Meredith to follow him. He hovered over her. Staring in her deep blue green eyes. "You have to tell me."
"I'm afraid." Meredith admitted "I'm afraid that I'll lose you. I'm afraid you'll find out that I'm not good enough. And that you will leave me. That you will leave me. All by myself. Promise me, Derek. Promise me, you'll never leave me. Promise."
"I promise." Derek replied. He kissed her lips. "Oh, I promise you Meredith."
Derek promised me not to leave. He promised me to stay.
A dream came to me. A happy ending in my head.
Lovely fairytale dream. Not to mention, peace in my heart.
I didn't feel dark and twisty. I felt happy. He made me happy.
Meredith and Derek walked up to the school. Vanessa Grey had left them, she was off to art class.
"Oh My God." Alex replied "Is that pinky and McDreamy?"
"Yes it is." Cristina smiled "Ass."
"Everyone is staring at us, Derek." Meredith was scared.
"No that guy wasn't looking." Derek pointed to a guy next to them. "Oh, sorry. He just looked."
"Because they see that I'm dating the most pretty girl in school" Derek smiled. He lay his arm over her shoulder. Almost hugging her. "Well, we are breaking the rules anyway. Let's do it."
Miranda Bailey stared at the picture from her car. The other Shepherd were sitting in the car. Staring at them.
"I can't believe this." Miranda turned to the others. "I can't believe that you guys are actually risking our safety."
"This is about love." Callie replied "Derek is finely living again. He's coming back to life. Ever since he died, he's coming back. You should be happy about that."
"George, how is it with your girl?" Miranda stared at him. "I mean she seems to stay away from you."
"she's not coming back." George replied "She loves me, but she's terrified."
Meredith and Derek were walking in the woods. Meredith had her arms around her body. She was cold, and she was starting to feel a bit tired.
"Does someone have to be dying to become a vampire?" Meredith asked
"No, it's just Carlisle thing." Derek replied "He wouldn't do this to anyone who had another choice."
"So how long have you been a vampire?" Meredith asked
"Ever since I was turned in 1226." Derek replied "That's when Carlisle found me. I was dying of the plague. He made me. My mother begged him, to save me. I wouldn't have made it."
"How?" Meredith's eyes were locking on his. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"No, it's okay Mer." Derek walked on. "Well, the ventum was extrude nary. But what he did after was harder. When we taste blood, we can't stop ourselves. But Carlisle did."
"So is Carlisle the reason why you don't drink human blood?" Meredith asked
"Partly." Derek replied "I don't want to be a monster."
"So it are other vampires that killed all those people." Meredith rolled her eyes. "Attacked my sister."
"Yeah, there are others out there. We run in them from time to time." Derek replied "And I think they are after you. Everything you know, and every belief you know is about to change. Are you ready for that?"
"Yes." Meredith nodded. "I'm ready to get in your world."
"Can the rest read minds to?" Meredith asked
"That's just me." Derek replied "But Addison can see the future. Callie well she move things with her mind. Very handy. And George, George has a great compassion to love. "
"George?" Vanessa walked up to him. "I need to talk to you."
"About what?" Vanessa's eyes were on his.
"Do you remember that child that you save?" Vanessa's eyes were full of tears. "That child, that you pushed away. That child's life you saved. Blond hair, blue eyes, remember?"
"Yes." George turned to her. "That was the best thing I ever did."
"That child was me." Vanessa's eyes were red. "That child was me, you died because of me."
"No." George wanted to kiss her. He wanted to touch her face. "I would know, I would remember your face."
"My mum and Richard had a fight. I left the hospital. I wanted to run away from home." Vanessa's tears got worse. "I didn't see the bus. You pushed me away. I'm the reason you are dead. You are a vampire because of me."
"NO!" George turned to her. "I saved you, you don't get to blame yourself because of this."
"Yes I can!" Vanessa got up. Yelling at him. "I'm the reason you are a vampire. Why can't you see that? Why can't you understand that. You are dead because of me."
"No." George hugged her. "You save me. Saving you, was the best thing I did in my life. And now, you bring me back to life. If it weren't for you, I would be still in that same place. I wouldn't be anywhere. I love you."
"I killed you." Vanessa hit him. "I turned you in this thing. Why didn't you just kill me? Let me die."
"You were 6" George yelled "You were 6 years old. You were adorable, a small child. Your mother lost an eye on you. And I knew I should save you."
"You threw yourself in front of that bus." Vanessa's eyes were tearing up. "If Addie hadn't found you, you would be dead. Have you ever wondered what that would have done to your family."
"You were small, blue eyes." George hang closer to her. "You know what that did to me. The feeling I got when I stared at you. I knew I had to do it. I can't explain why."
"Why would you do that?" Vanessa traced his jaw line. "You didn't know me."
"It was the first right thing I did." George hugged her. "You were the only thing I did right in my whole life. You bring me back to life. I love you."
"I can't do this." Vanessa stared at him. "I want to grow old with you, but you will never grow old."
"I won't turn you." George stared at her. "I couldn't do that to you. I can live with you, we can have a life time."
"Maybe." Vanessa touched his hand. "Maybe.."
