Chapter 2

Gregory touched down in—yes, you guessed it—a cemetery. Typical. He led me down into a cavern under the graveyard and called his family.

"Mother! Father! I found a mate! This is Charcoal." Wow, he sounded like a five year old at Christmas. I laughed silently, which was cut off abruptly as the rest of the family joined Gregory and scrutinized me closely.

"She'll do." Said the mother. The rest nodded. With no one jumping for introductions I decided to move things along.

"Okay, who are all of you?"

The mother stepped forward, "I'm Freda, my husband Fredrick, my children, Anna, Rudolph and of course Gregory."

I smiled politely and turned to Gregory, "so you never told me why I'm here?"

"I would have thought that obvious Love." Gregory smiled toothily.

"I'm no one's love and please, obviously it's not obvious enough." I retorted.

"Well, I introduced you to my family because Love, I'm going to turn you into a vampire." Gregory looked pleased. I however was in shock. He wanted to turn me into one of him? A creature of the night? His Dark Queen? Okay pause, getting WAAAAAY too carried away there Charcoal. Amidst the turmoil in my head, I choked out one word.

"Why?"

Gregory looked stunned that I would even ask that question.

"Because, I can't have my mate getting older than me and dyeing can I?" It made sense I suppose. But I didn't really want to become a vampire. If anything, I needed time to think.

"I—I—I—I need a moment." Then I turned and fled from the cavern.

I didn't know what to think. Gregory was in love with me, I think, and he wanted me to be a vampire. It seemed his family was with him on that. But what about me? I mean every kid wants to be a vampire, but would they go for it? I admit, I did have a scary attraction to Gregory, yes he's hot, but did I love him? I don't know.

I heard a rustle and then Gregory's arms wrapped around me and I leaned back against him.

"I know you think you love me and you want me as your mate but, I just can't make that decision right now. You understand that don't you?" I looked at him hopefully. Gregory looked back steadily.

"I do love you, and because I do, I'm going to give you a week to decide."

I nodded in gratitude, even in my short time knowing Gregory I knew this was generous.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

And end chappie! Now, I demand that I get at least 5-10 reviews before I update again. So remember that, 5-10! Not very hard I think! So, go hit that review button like there's no tomorrow! Till next time!
