Chapter One:

Sophie's Point Of View:

I lazily opened my eyes to see Damon propped up on one elbow staring down at me. I smiled and put my arms around him, hugging him.

"Morning beautiful" he smiled, carefully brushing my hair out my eyes and planting a small kiss on my forehead.

"Morning" I laughed. "What time is it?" I asked, getting out of the bed and pulling open the curtains, it was still dark out.

"Half three in the morning." He replied.

I began to ask why he was up so early but was interrupted when I suddenly felt Damon grab me round the waist and pull me back into the bed, both of us laughing.

"Get back into bed." he said coming closer to me, slowly kissing me on the lips, then travelled small kisses down to my neck, making me shiver. We began to kiss suddenly when I small voice interrupted us.

"Why are you eating Mummy?" said Alex, his dark curly hair ruffled, sticking up in all directions, dressed in Spiderman pyjamas and carrying a small blue bear in one hand. He stood there in the doorway with a puzzled look on his face.

Damon looked at me and we began to laugh hysterically. "Hello there smelly, what are you doing up?" said Damon getting out of the bed and scooping Alex up in his arms, playfully ticking him. Alex squealed and let out a giggle.

"I'm hungry." he said after he calmed down. "Look" he opened his mouth to reveal two small retracted fangs. "Really hungry."

Damon chuckled a little and said "Well I've got somewhere to be, so maybe your Mum will get you some breakfast?" he looked over to me for approval.

I nodded "Sure, he'll have to have the same as me though."

"No." protested Alex. "Me and Daddy don't eat bambi's and bunny rabbits."

I rolled my eyes, he was so like Damon. "Well I'm afraid its that or nothing." I said sternly.

Alex wriggled in Damon's arms to be let down, he then stormed out of the bedroom.

Damon sighed and said " We're going to have our work cut out if he's like this at three years old, I'll take him, I'll have to bring him with me on a few errands."

I raised my eyebrows "What errands? Its so early."

"Nothing you need to worry about Sophie" he said coming over and giving me a kiss. "Ill be back soon."

Damon's Point Of View:

I strolled into Alex's room, he was sitting on the floor playing with some toy cars. I lounged on his bed with my arms behind my head. "So, want to come get some breakfast?"

Alex's face broke out into a smile and he quickly ran over to the bed and jumped up and down on my stomach. "Yes, Yes, Yes" he shouted.

I quickly got him dressed into a small pair of black jeans, black converse, a red t-shirt and a smart black leather jacket, I smiled. He was a mini me.

"I have something to do before you eat." I explained to him as we walked down the street with Alex placed on my shoulders.

He began to whine, but I gave him a stern look which quickly made him be quiet.

I walked into Caroline Forbe's garden and began climbing up a large tree. I placed Alex on one of the lower branches and strictly told him not to move or there would be trouble, he nodded and quietly remained sitting on the branch.

I lounged in mid-air on a branch, and looked into Caroline Forbe's bedroom window. I comfortably lay back, and watched. I was waiting for it to be 4:44 a.m. Then Caroline would perform her ritual, I'd already seen her do it twice before.

Then suddenly, I felt like something bit me. A mosquito bite. It confused me because mosquitoes don't bite vampires, but it felt like a mosquito had bit me on the back of the neck. I looked behind me and there was nothing. I felt a sudden surge of power from beneath me.

"Getting hungry." said Alex telepathically.

"Well I'm busy, be patient." I sent back, rolling my eyes.

I didn't get a reply which meant he was probably sulking, I looked down and he was sitting with him arms crossed in a huff, one leg dangling off the branch, swinging back at forth quickly above the ground below.

I was still confused at what bit me. It hurt and was starting to hurt more. Maybe it was a conifer needle from behind me, or a bee. I felt my neck, all I could feel was a tiny squishy lump that hurt. I could feel Alex still for some reason sending out surges of power and I sighed, he was so impatient.

Suddenly Caroline woke up and walked across the room. I could still feel a strong power being sent out, it mustn't be Alex, he isn't that strong. I felt fear and confusion, something bad was here…
