Previously on Against All Odds:

I stared at the girls' retreating figures. Correction. I stared at her retreating figure. She was beautiful, even for a vampire. Her hair, her eyes, her lips… I knew she was different as soon as I saw her. 'God, get a grip Nick!' I thought. I sounded like a bloody teenage girl. I wasn't a freakin' werewolf, so why was I acting like I just imprinted on her?

[Nick's POV]

Sitting there in my room bored to death, I got up and decided to go hunting on my own. Running as fast as fast as I could to the field where we usually hunt I caught her sent.

Suddenly I felt excited as a thought that I could not control came to my mind and I knew that even if I tried to stop myself from what I was about to do it would NEVER work, because I was acting like a stupid wolf and the wolf had dominated.

Slowly I walked over behind her. She was alone and it was the perfect time to act.

[Miley's POV]

I smelled his scent, but I ignored it because at the moment I happened to be thinking about him. He ran up and push my back against the stone.

"Why hello, Jessica." I said with a smile and he shook his head.

"Why Jessica?" He asked curiosity showing through his stare.

"Maybe someday I'll tell you. We do have all of eternity."

He chuckled

Every minuet it was almost as if he was edging closer to me.

"You brothers seemed ever so delightful." I joked knowing perfectly well that lovely little Jessica might not like it and play along.

"Just like that ever so lovely sister of yours!" He snapped. "What's her name...Justin?"

[Nick's POV]

I wanted to laugh out loud at the look on her face as I had used her joke back on her.

When I was alive I actually did know a really cruel kid named Justin and that was probably why I had picked the name.

She smiled after a while. "Well, well Jessy...how ever did you come up with that name?" She teased as we were now circling each other. Both of us had wide grins on our face.

"Maybe I'll tell you someday...After all we do have an eternity."

She laughed.

I chuckled and began to inch toward her. She turned quickly and ran into a meadow. She turned around and smiled, then walked into the sunlight.

"Feels great doesn't it?" She said. "Even though we can't really feel it, but you know what I mean.

I laughed. "I think I actually do."

"I can feel it though. Through other people. Humans to be precise." She looked up into the gleaming sun's rays. "It's been a gift I've had since I was change. Without it I probably would've just killed myself and gotten it over with years ago." She jumped onto a rock to get higher.

I looked up at her and smiled at her glittering skin.

"Do you have any special gifts?" She asked still concentrating on the now setting sun above us.

"Yes." I answered knowing that she'd ask me and that I would not want to tell her.

She look at me as if she were awaiting for me to answer.

"I figured." She giggled and jumped down from the rock and swiftly into a cave.

I followed behind her again. I did not know what had kept attracting me to her, but something was and I wasn't sure if I liked it or if it was going to be the death of me. I had a funny feeling by Joe and Kevin's reactions to this that I would be leaning more toward the death side of the totem pool.

I smiled and followed her into the cave.

"So, tell me Jessica, why do you keep following me?" She said and smirked as she whipped around to face me.

I stared at her for a brief minuet, and then smiled.

"I don't know. It's like some weird invisible force pulling me to you, Lucas."

She smiled at the nickname I had given her.

"Well, Jess, I see that." She said as I realized that I had her pinned up against the wall and we were dangerously close. Her scent in my nostrils tempting me to get closer.
