Gregory had been walking around the graveyard again when he saw Ava. She was crouched down in front of her brother's grave. He watched her from the shadows of the trees. She stood up and fixed her black blouse and long black skirt.
"It's not safe to wander around a graveyard at night. You never know what creatures will be waiting for you to turn your back to them." Gregory said to her when she turned her back towards him. She turned to the sound of his voice. Her eyes searched for him. He smiled and stepped into the moon light.
"You mean like you?" She asked smiling when she saw him. He nodded.
"Exactly, I'm the most dangerous thing here." He said knowingly.
"You're also the only alive thing here." She said. It took all of his energy not to snort in laughter. If only you knew. He thought to himself. He smiled, unthinkingly showing her his fangs. They are fake. She tried to convince herself.
"Why do you come here during the night and during the day?" He asked curious.
"I'm not really supposed to be here. My mom would be mad if she found out." She replied. He tilted his head to the side. "He got involved in things that made our mother ashamed of him. She all but forbade me to visit his grave." Gregory nodded not wanting to push her into saying to say anything she did not want to. "So why are you here?"
"I find grave yards to be intriguing." He answered somewhat honestly. It was not like he could tell her that he was a vampire. Well, Rudolf did. He quickly pushed that thought out of his head. She smiled widely, causing Gregory to think that for a second his heart was beating again. He smiled back. She looked down to a red wristwatch and sighed.
"I need to go, so good-bye." She said turning away. She had not been watching where she was going and so tripped over a hole. Gregory, seeing the hole before she did had been ready to catch her when she fell. She looked away blushing. She pushed herself off of him and tried to ignore the smirk he was giving her.
"There's a hole there." He said teasingly. She glared at him while trying not to smile, but in the end she smiled.
"I noticed." She noticed that he was smiling so that his fangs could be seen. "Are you a ...vampire?" She asked looking away from him. They both just stood there not looking at each other. He sighed, mentally kicking himself. He wanted to tell her, but his family would kill him.
"Yes." He said giving in to his own wants not caring what his family said. She just stared at him. She did not say anything, but she did not run away and that was a good place to start with. A bat screeched causing Ava to look up. Gregory already knew that it was Ana. Ana not seeing Ava until it was too late land on a broken down tombstone. "She already knows. You can turn into your vampire from, Ana." Gregory said never taking his eyes off of Ava. Ana turned into her vampire from.
"Oh, brother, you're going to get us in trouble." Ana said. Gregory shrugged. Ava just stood there not knowing what to say or do. "I'm Ana, Gregory's sister." Ana introduced herself. Ava swallowed.
"Hello, Ana, I'm Ava." She said in a slight whisper.
"She should leave before Mother and father find her." Ana said. Ava nodded. "You cannot tell anyone about us." Once more Ava nodded.
"I'm not sure anyone would believe me." She said with a small smile.
"Watch out for hole." Gregory added with chuckle. Ava stuck her tongue out at him before leaving.
"I can smell her on you." Ana said looking at her brother. Gregory shrugged. "Which means Mother and father will be able to as well."Gregory growled under his breath. Anna Smiled. "You like her." Gregory glared at her before walking away.
He is a vampire. I never like anyone normal. Ava thought to herself. She was sitting next to her mother on the couch, pretending to be watching TV. It explained everything: the pale skin, red eyes, and the fanged smile that almost stopped her heart.
It was late when she got home. Her mom was still awake, but she managed to sneak into her room without her mother hearing. She then changed into the clothes she was wearing earlier and then sat down on the couch in the living room. Forcing herself to yawn, she told her mother good night and went to bed. Once in she was in bed she could not help but think about Gregory. After a couple of minutes she fell asleep.
