School was ending and Jhordon was at her locker, when she closed it, she saw grace and her clique walking towards her. Grace was that girl that everyone wanted to be with or to act like, she was everything Jhordon wasn't tall and toned beautiful, pretty dark brown hair, and honey brown eyes, and popular. As she walked by she harshly pushed Jhordon into the lockers, hitting her still not fully healed ribs, she grabbed her side and cried, Kat came to see if she was alright, she told her what happened. They walked out side with Kat's hand on her waist to hold her steady.

Gabriel watched all the mortal females pass him, they looked like they wanted to gang up on him. he smirked to him self and heard a few feminine sighs. "are they always like this with you Gabriel" a deep voice said next to him he turned to look at his long time friend druex . He was Gabriel's height with his puffy black hair in a puffy pony tail with his dark hazel ancient and intelligent eyes. Druex was getting a few turned heads, himself lean indolently against the car, his arms crossed. Gabriel stood with his ankles crossed hands buried in his pockets. He watched as Jhordon walked next to a girl slightly taller then her, he saw how tears slid down her cheeks, and she held her side, he walked away from the car and towards her.

Now grace assumed that this fine ass man was walking towards her but when he stepped past her and went to Jhordon, she got pissed. "are you okay, baby?" Gabriel asked her softly he slid his hand up her shirt and applied gentle pressure, until she whimpered then he withdrew and picked her up, he held her so his hands were holding her underneath her bottom, with her arm limply pulled around his neck. "it hurts" she cried burring her face into his neck, he hugged her closer "I know," "are you okay donnie" Kat asked as she walked beside the tall man that held her best friend. "I'm okay Kat" she looked over and saw grace coming at them.

"look, I always get what I want. And I want you, so put that… thing down" she sneered Gabriel didn't think he wanted to hit a said and put Jhordon inside the car.

Druex was fascinated by this fiery mortal. She was not that tall with, almost glowing pale green eyes, the seemed to darken and lighten with her mood. She had long dark brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. "leave, Jhordon alone" Kat hissed "I'll do what ever I want, bitch and you cant stop me" grace hissed back and she slapped Kat across her face. At first Kat did nothing. Then she launched herself at grace and started kicking her ass, I mean there was blood every where and none of it was Kat's.

"ay Dru go get her man" Gabriel said, with out a word, Dru jogged forward and grabbed Kat around the waist and tossed her over his shoulder, with his hand splayed on her bottom. He ran back to Gabriel's car and tossed her kicking and screaming into the back. She fought, he restrained her hands and kissed her, he laced his kiss with a spell to make her sleep. She finally fell lax and Dru smirked at Gabriel as he started the car "works every time" he said smugly. Gabriel responded, with a smirk and drove to his apt.

At the apt…

The girls were still sleep, so the guys went to feed.

Later still…

Gabriel and Druex both sat backwards, in two kitchen chairs and watched the girls sleep. "beautiful aren't they" Gabriel murmured. "I agree" Druex said "you know I can hear you" Kat muttered as she sat up rubbing he forehead, "uh, where the fuck am I?" she snapped "at my house" Gabriel supplied gently "oh" Jhordon started to awaken "Gabriel?" she called he instantly was at her side and helped her sit up "how do you feel?" he ask brushing her hair out of her eyes. "better" she said in a baby voice, Gabriel smiled "good" Kat watched in immensely shocked surprise at the exchange between this guy and her best friend he treated her gently as if he cared deeply for her. "well, donnie, its looks like you're in good hands so, I'll see you later" she smiled at Gabriel "okay be careful" Jhordon said "I'll walk you if you'd like" Dru offered, she looked at him a minute, sizing him up. "okay, I'd like that" she smiled and he walked to her to the door and Kat waved and they left.

With Kat and Dru…

They walked side by side but not close together, Dru was about two feet away from her, he didn't want to be crowding her when he had just met her. Most women like that his style of 'I always get what I want' arrogant attitude, but Kat definitely didn't find it the least bit attractive. Dru found himself willing to change for her, he wanted her to like him and get to know him. it was strange he'd never felt this way before. "you straight?" her voice cut through his thoughts he glanced at Kat, she had moved a bit closer to him. her arm wrapped around her self, he had just noticed her uniform didn't cover much of her 'sexy legs though' he thought to him self "yeah, I'm cool, you cold" she nodded he slipped off his jacket and slipped it around her shoulders. "thanks" Kat mumbled, she had like a few boys you know, went out with a few, did the dating game. But this guy, his whole demeanor and swagger was something she never went after. He was neither a thug or a Goth but a very sexy mix between the two, dressed in all black, with bored sleepy, eyes that were a dark hazel, eyes long hair pulled from his face. A very handsome man. "well, here we are" Kat said, in truth she was disappointed she had wanted to get to know him better, but she guessed not. "hey, um… I wanted to know if…" he broke of feeling actually nervous in front of her. "yes?" she was nervous as well would he ask her out? "would you like to go out with me. For dinner or a movie you know, if you want to," he finished rushing his question. She smiled shyly. Wait! Shy? Her? It was not in her person, she was always in charge never afraid but with Dru? He made her feel, delicate and girly, she actually liked the feeling. "I'd like that, Friday then?" she inquired "Friday's good" he smile revealing his elongated canines, she didn't seem to notice. "good" he leaned in grabbed her chin and pulled her into a soft kiss, then laid his forehead against hers, their noses touched, "goodnight" he whispered "night" she whispered back. He watched her go up stairs to her apt. and then closed the door.

Kat leaned her back against it and sighed, "I think I'm in love" she murmured aloud to herself, "Kat, get in here and do these damn dishes!" her mother yelled. She rolled her eyes, "coming mom" she replied.

For a while Dru stood outside her apartment complex. Brushing his fingers against his lips. Smiling "I think I'm in love" he said to him self.

At Gabriel's apt.

Jhordon lay sleeping peacefully on top of Gabriel. She dropped off a few minutes after Dru and Kat left. He stroked her hair and watched her rise and fall as he breathed. His hair spilled over the side of the couch, her little fingers, idly curled in his thick black tresses. He sighed heavily. Grabbing her hand and kissed her

finger tips. Gabriel smiled when she giggled sleepily. She then opened her eyes, those beautiful stormy grey orbs. The ones once filled with pain, now they were filled with nothing but happiness and bliss. He kissed her then, soft and sweet, he then pushed her on to her back, his kisses grew more passionate, and feverish. He slowly slipped the straps of her tank top off her shoulders. Over her breasts and over her stomach, revealing her ample bosom. He kissed her breasts, the top, sides, and the soft warm place beneath them. He blew cool air on the heated tips. Then suckled her deeply, Jhordon gasped at the new sensations he Gabriel was creating with her body, but when he started to pull down her shorts, she got images of her mother gave her up to those men. Jhordon pushed at his shoulders, he let go of her nipple with a audible 'pop' he glanced up at her "I'm sorry, I-I cant, not now!" she said she slipped from beneath him and ran to her room and slammed the door, Jhordon didn't want to cry anymore, but she knew that since she had stopped him, he wouldn't want her anymore, she curled in a dark corner and bawled.

For a moment, Gabriel had to breathe and relied on his control. When he started to undress Jhordon he though she had enjoyed it, but when he got a little bolder, she tensed and turned cold to him. his mind was suddenly flooded with images of that day at her apt.

Her mind had become his since he tasted her blood. In vampiric terms its called a blood bond, when one vampire takes the blood of another they become connected, he and Dru have done it and now Jhordon, hers was not as strong with him yet because he never drank from her. But he could feel her emotions, her desire was building then all together it faded and she was afraid. He never wanted her to be afraid of him for any reason. Gabriel pulled himself together and knocked on her door. "baby?" he called "go away" her voice was tiny and he barely caught it "I need to talk to you baby girl" he called, when she didn't answer he took it as her permission to enter.

There curled in corner sobbing was Jhordon, her knees drawn up to her chest, rocking back and fourth. "baby" he said walking closer, only to take a quick step back when she flinched and scooted away.

"stay away" she cried Gabriel slid to his knees in front of her. He wrapped his hands around her calves. Jhordon fought, it wasn't because she wasn't afraid of him. he was going to make her leave. Gabriel caught her arms and pulled her against him her arms pinned to her chest. "don't fight me please" Gabriel pleaded, she calmed and sobbed in to his shirt. He sighed as he held her, he heard her faint murmurs and listened closely. "please don't make me leave" she sobbed "do what ever you want to my body. I give myself freely, just let me stay" Jhordon fisted her hands in his blue t- shirt.

When Gabriel heard these words he was furious, is that why she thought he'd let her stay with him? For her body. He grabbed her shoulders and rather roughly shoved her back so he could see her eyes, they were wide and luminous hey grey eyes seemed almost black with grief. "is that why you think I let you stay here, for sex?" "isn't that it" she asked softly. "how dare you even think that" he growled making her back away from him, unknown to him his eyes had turned red, his fangs elongated and he was getting rather violent. "I asked you to stay here caused I cared about you, and you think I just want you for sex?" he thundered she ran past him and out side barefoot, in shorts and a tank top. It was thunder storming, lightning flash and thunder roared, she didn't here it.

Jhordon felt the rain soak her skin and hair, and her clothes.

She ran blindly through traffic. She stood there. Waiting for a fast car to end it all. When she saw the head lights of a black SUV she closed her eye and silently said goodbye to Gabriel and waited for impact. When two strong arms wrapped around her, her eyes opened and gazed at Gabriel's glowing indigo eyes. In an instant she was back in his room, both of them were shaking from the wet clothes,

"stay here" he said and left. Jhordon was too terrified to move she stood there in the dimly lit room and waited for him to come back. When he did come back he had changed in to baggy ripped jeans and a white beater. He held a bundle of clothes in his arms. "come here baby" he called softly, hesitantly she wobbled over till she was in front of Gabriel, he said nothing he began to strip her of her wet clothes, she closed her eyes and let him do what ever he wanted. Unknown to Jhordon, Gabriel's eyes never wandered he, never once looked at her disrespectfully. He wrapped a fluffy green towel around her and picked her up in his arms, he ran hot bubble bath water and set her inside it, washed her up and washed her hair.

During her bath Gabriel, never once said a word. He left as she dried off and changed, when Jhordon opened the door there was Gabriel sitting on the edge of the bed. His long hair pulled to one side and falling over his shoulder. He head was down.

Jhordon walked over to him and stood in front of him. he opened his legs and she stepped closer. Gabriel surprised her by grabbing her bottom in his hands and pulled her to him. his face buried in her stomach, she timidly wrapped her arms around his head and combed her fingers through his thick hair. "you scared me baby" he mumbled "I-I'm sorry Gabriel, I was scared too" "don't you ever do that again. You could have killed yourself!" he growled Jhordon nodded understanding his concern. "I wont, um Gabriel" she asked "mmhm" "you know if you, want me to leave I will right" she said, Gabriel glanced up at her. "I don't want you leave, I never wanted you to leave" he stood his colossal height and towered over her "I'm sorry I scared you, but when you said you would give you body to me if I let you stay, I got angry, if our relationship becomes more serious, and intimate it will in its own time, I was hasty earlier. I should have never done that, we do that when you're ready" he hugged her and kissed her. Jhordon sighed dreamily and leaned up to kiss his chin. Gabriel put her in bed and got in beside her. His arms wrapped around her as if she would disappear in thin air.

"Gabriel" she called "yes" he replied "I wont be just another woman to you will I, I mean after you get tired of me, will you toss me aside like the others" she asked Jhordon wanted to know the truth. Gabriel was silent, he was surprised she would ask him something like that, he pulled her on top of him, "you know what's special about you?" he inquired "nothing" she said sadly "yes, this" he laid his hand against her chest. "my boobs?" she said dumbly he laughed then rich deep and sexy, "no, your heart" he said she laughed at how corny he sounded "no really, you do know what I am right?" she nodded "yeah, the whole 'I vant to suck your blood' kind of thin right" she said "sort of, I do drink blood, does that bother you?" "is it something you have to do or do you do it for fun" "I do it so I don't die" "oh, well I don't mind." She said nonchalantly "you know what the best thing is" Gabriel said idly twisting his fingers in her onyx curls. "what?" she replied sleepily. "I think your boobs are special too" he purred "why thank you." She giggled

"night Gabriel" she whispered and kissed his chin "night baby girl" he mumbled already falling asleep.

Hours later, still dark outside…

Gabriel awoke with disgusting wrenching sounds coming from his bathroom, he noticed Donnie wasn't in the bed any more, he shot up and took off towards the bathroom. Jhordon was there on the floor, bent over the toilet, vomiting she cried. Gabriel held her hair back, then washed her mouth with Listerine and tugged her back to bed. Gabriel felt Jhordon's forehead and cheeks. "aw baby, you're getting a cold" he said smiling a little, Jhordon how ever didn't find anything amusing. "it's not funny" her voice was nasally and kind of like when you pinch your nose and talk, it was cute and he couldn't help laugh, "my baby, come here" he pulled her into his arms "go to sleep, we'll go to the store tomorrow and get you medicine" Gabriel leaned in to kiss her but Jhordon turned her head away. "uh-un leave me alone" she said and turned away so her back was facing him. he kissed her neck and nuzzled her with his nose. "don't laugh at me anymore" "I wont I promise"

That morning

It was about 8:30 and Gabriel got dressed and dressed Jhordon, she got worse through the night so after they went to the store he's going to take her to the doctor. "ready to go" he asked grabbing his jacket and one for Jhordon "yeah" she said her voice was raspy and thick. They walked to the store, when Jhordon walked in she went to the soup isle and got a lot of different soup. While Gabriel got her things like tea and hot chocolate. She went to Daniel's check out counter, it was closed but he was still there with the light off.

"hi Daniel" she said her nose was running and he handed her a few tissues. "what's wrong? what happened?" he felt her forehead "you're burning up" "I got sick from running out in the rain, when me and my boyfriend had a fight" the words slipped from her mouth before she could stop them "your… boyfriend? Really" he asked surprised "mmhm" she said "I'll go get him" she walked away thankful Daniel didn't see her blush. Jhordon went down a isle with spices to find Gabriel, getting a spice for a small elderly woman who couldn't reach it. She smiled at him and patted him his bottom and sent him away with a small smile. "aw, you're so sweet" she gushed "yeah, yeah what ever" "I uh, want you to meet someone, I told him you were my… boy friend, will you play along" Jhordon asked hopefully

"sure" he wrapped his arms around her, and she leaned back against him. when the couple came to the counter, Gabriel smiled when Daniel's brown eyes widened and looked at him dumbfounded "you must be Daniel, Jhordon has told me a lot about you" Gabriel said politely. Daniel stuck out his hand and shook it with Gabriel's "and you are" Daniel asked noting the protective way Gabriel's hand was curled around Jhordon's waist. "Gabriel Black" "oh, Jhordon you have to come by when you feel better, belle would love this" Daniel gushed "I will" she promised and left the store.

Gabriel quickly went home and put the groceries away, he put Jhordon in to the car before she could say anything. And started driving to the doctor's office.

"I don't wanna go" Jhordon whined. After signing in she started to whine and it made her look like a child, Gabriel sighed like a parent dealing with a impudent child "so what? You're still going" he said and promptly tossed her over his shoulder, behind him was a grinning nurse. When he sat her down on the table she poked her lower lip out "you're mean" Jhordon pouted the doctor walked in young and pretty long brunette hair pulled into a pony tail small glasses placed low on her nose. Jhordon looked at Gabriel and he was studying the doctor very closely then his eyes widened "Gale" he gasped in disbelief "hello, Gabriel" Gale replied smiling he got and hugged her and kissed her cheek "and who is this" Gale asked smiling at Jhordon "oh! This Jhordon, my girlfriend" he said "girlfriend huh, so you finally decided to be quit of those lustful ways" Gale said and lightly punched his arm "yeah" he replied sheepishly "well, lets take a look see" Gale said she started to examine Jhordon, Gale was a physic vampire, basically she was the kind that didn't need blood to survive, but did need the life force of others to keep healthy, as she looked Jhordon over she talked telepathically with Gabriel 'so is she the one?' gale asked 'what one' Gabriel asked confused 'your life mate' she said he didn't reply right away 'yes she is' he replied, Gabriel never thought about it that. But it was true. "well" dr. gale said taking off her stethoscope, and wrapping it around her neck. "it's the flu, after your shot, I'll give you some antibiotics, rest and take it easy, no walking around a lot okay" Jhordon nodded. 'can you check her ribs for me' Gabriel asked Gale she looked at him confused 'sure' she said. Gale placed her hands on Jhordon's rib cage it was healed nicely 'it's fine Gabriel' gale said much to his relief, "thank you gale' he said "Gabriel, take care of her, I felt the insecurity in her heart and mind, she needs your love and reassurance' he nodded dumbfounded at gale but said nothing more, "when was your last flu shot" gale asked Jhordon
"I never had one, in fact this is the first time I've ever been to the doctor, that I remember that is" Gale raised and eyebrow at Gabriel who shrugged. Jhordon got her shot, much to her displeasure, but Gabriel was there to hold her hand.

"She may be groggy for the rest of the day, but she'll get better, here's her prescriptions and that about it" gale said all 'Doctor' like. Gabriel smiled, then kissed gale on her cheek. "Thanks gale" he picked up a disoriented Jhordon, and carried her to the car.
