I knew it would be too late to fix things so I could stay. Someone would have figured it out and would be here soon enough. I had no choice but to leave from here. I couldn't afford to feel my emotions right now. I wouldn't change back right now; I was defenceless if I did. I packed a few clothes. Grabbed a stash of money at made my way to the door and just as I left I took one glance back at the empty house. I hoped everyone here will be safe I thought. I left.

It had been a year since everything had happened. I still felt horrible and slowly becoming depressed. Nothing was right anymore, I thought of James daily. It was horrible, feeling this way. My new life was in Las Vegas, it was kind of a risk as this place was loaded with vampires and witches. But I didn't care anymore. I was slowly becoming lonely, wanting James around me again. Him sitting by my side while a rest my head in his lap. His fingers stroking my hair as I fell asleep.

I walked down the street towards town; I was meeting up with a few friends and going clubbing. It would feel good to get away from my thoughts for one night. We arrived at the club as the guards let us straight in. the club was full of people, Dancing talking or just sitting around. A few vampires were here and there, as I had expected. My friend Rihanna came back with our drinks and I quickly sculled mine back and walked to the dance floor. There were people everywhere, all around me as I laughed and danced to the music. My friends had come to join me half an hour later. Yet as I danced all I could think of was James hands on my hips as we swung to the music, me turning around into his embrace and me showing every girl in the room that he was mine by laying a hot sexy kiss on his lips.

His low husky voice whispering in my ear "I love you". I opened my eyes. Taking breaths in like I was suffocating by all the people around me now. I moved towards the front door to exit, when I heard a voice in the background. I very familiar voice that made my heart jump. I was just hearing things that's all I turned around as everything around me went still. There at the back of the room was James with girls, lots of girls. I felt tears prickle to my eyes as I watched him flirt with the girls. Tears of joy for just looking at him again and tears of pain to see him with those girls. I really needed air now yet I couldn't find myself the strength to look away in fear that he would disappear. So I stood there steering like a helpless little girl. I felt fingers slide across my jaw line, I could tell it was a vampire by his presence.

"Mmm, you smell lovely" his voice hummed in my hair. I shivered but never left I contact with James. " he looked to where I was staring and frowned "don't bother with him, he already has plenty of girls" he grabbed my arms to pull me closer to him, but my eyes never left James until he stood in my way. I panicked not wanting James to disappear from my sight. But instead my eye sight was replaced by the guys eyes "you're going to do as I say" I felt the compulsion he pulled to my mind. Too bad for him it didn't work. "you're going to leave with me" I turned and looked back towards where James was and found myself looking into a pair of grey eyes. I felt a tear fall from my face as he registered that I was standing there. That's when I found myself being tugged away. I started to pull away not wanting to lose sight of James.

I watched as James stood up and started to walk towards me. My heart pounded as the person pulled even harder and I started losing James. Then James was next to me taking the vampires hands of me and pulling me into his arms. I sunk into his chest and lay my head against his beating heart. I had never felt so at home in so long. I didn't feel alone anymore, I felt safe. "Leave" the voice was deadly. I shivered in his arms as I felt his chest rumble in a low hiss.

"Sorry, I didn't know she was a toy of yours" the man bowed and walked out of the club.

I didn't ever want to let go as I clung to his shirt. I felt his arms go around me holding me in his arms. His breath was against the top of my head. We both breathed each other in slowly. I felt another tear fall from my face "I-I'm sorry" I whispered barely. I felt his arms pull me tighter to him. He finally pulled me back to stare at me. I looked into his grey eyes; I saw the hurt and hope in his eyes. That's when he bent forward and let his lips touch mine. It was the most intimate thing I had experienced with him ever. It sent shivers down my spine as I felt my body lean into his wanting more of his lips. He started pulling back but I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. The kiss stayed still as he stood there frozen and then he melted in my arms. His lips brushed against mine over and over again until he slowly put his tongue in my mouth. I leaned in more until we were chest to chest. Our tongues massaged each other in a slow rhythm. He pulled back, his breathing a little faster and mine breathed even faster. It had felt so good.

He whispered "its ok" he took my hand and started walking out towards the street and before I knew it I was in a black car in the passenger seat. Watching James climb into the front seat and start the car up.

"Where are we going?" I asked as he started driving. I looked at him and he looked at me. He was grinning. I missed that face so much. Sometimes I had dreamed about it none stop, just that face.

"Home" was all he said and I sighed and relaxed against the chair. I leaned my head towards him and just stared. I felt as if I was hallucinating, that he wasn't really there next to me. Well if I was, I was going to make the most of it and so I smiled towards him as I grabbed his hand in mine. He looked at me and saw the way I was staring at him. I missed him so much. "I missed you too". He whispered reading my mind and I held his hand tighter and soon felt myself falling asleep.
