We walked down the dimly lit street hand in hand, Jared staring at me the entire time. I felt a bit awkward with the way I had acted.

"Er, Jared, sorry about...back then. I sort of...flipped out. I guess that's what a mental breakdown is," I tried to joke.

"Kim, you have to stop apologising to me all the time. Nothing you could ever do to me would upset me. I'm only upset if you're not happy." He stopped walking and turned to face me, suddenly sincere. "You have to be happy. Whatever else there is to do, ignore it. Just please, do whatever it takes, be happy."

"Er, sure," I gulped, a bit embarrassed. He didn't stop staring at me. "Yeah, yeah Jared, I'll try to be happy. Are you satisfied now, you fussy boy?" I asked light-heartedly.

He grinned, "I'm happy if you're happy."

"Right. Well, that's that then." I was unsure of what to say next, my mind was still reeling from the fact the Jared was a werewolf. I couldn't be quick-witted when I had just learnt that my boyfriend was a mythical creature. We strolled leisurely back towards the Jeep, comfortable with just being together. I was climbing into the car when Jared's phone buzzed , the Pokemon theme tune indicating he had a text. I pressed my lips together to stop me from laughing. He pulled the phone out his pocket and read the words on the screen, before frowning and taking a large breath.

"Jared, what's wrong?"

"It's err, nothing Kim. Pack stuff that's all."

"Pack stuff? Meaning...?"

"Oh, well there are a group of werewolves and we call ourselves a pack. It's our alpha, our leader, texting me about patrolling tonight."

"Patrolling?" I really didn't understand all these werewolf terms Jared was using.

"Running around the border of La Push making sure everything's safe."

"Safe from...?" I needed some answers and figured now was as good a time as any to get some. He looked over at me and grimaced.

"I think you've had enough to deal with tonight as it is Kim, I won't bore you with any more useless information."

"But Jared I-"

"Not tonight Kim." His voice had an air of authority about it, and I knew no matter how much I badgered him he wouldn't tell me anymore. I'd find out soon enough though.

"Well, I'd better get you home." He pulled off the curb and began the drive towards my house.

"So...Pokemon huh?" I couldn't resist teasing him about his ringtone. He coughed.

"Yeah, it's really cool," he mumbled. "And besides, it's the only, er, option I have."

I reached out to grab his phone from where he had placed it on the dashboard. I scrolled to his music and found hundreds of different tunes on it. Tunes including 'Touch My Body' by Mariah Carey.

"Mariah Carey Jared. Really?" He blushed.

"Yeah, she has a great voice. Now will you please stop going through my phone before you break it?" I exited the song and just as I was quitting the music files, a new text appeared. I didn't find it in me to begin teasing him about the ringtone again, I had just seen what the message said.

Vampire got away again.

Gross bloodsucker.

I stared at the screen. Jared tried to grab the phone out of my hands, but couldn't quite reach where I was holding it. I sat frozen. Vampires? Jared was patrolling the woods searching for vampires? I thought back to all of the legends I had heard about vampires. What if he got hurt? What if the vampire ate him or did whatever they did. Why did he have to go at night when vampires came out? Then I thought about what Jared had said about all of the legends being true. They didn't just come out at night. They made a truce or something with the Quileutes, I thought, but couldn't quite recall what the exact words were.

"Kim, Kim, don't worry." Jared's voice interrupted my thought process. "Kim, it's not a problem, they're not going to hurt you. I'm going to make sure of that." He spoke with conviction, but I couldn't fathom why he was worried about me, when it was him fighting off vampires.

"Jared, you, you could get hurt. What if, what if they try to hurt you. What if they k-kill you? What am I going to do?!?! You could get hurt. You could get hurt! Jared, you-"

"Kim, I am not going to get hurt," he scoffed, chuckling to himself, "seriously, you don't need to worry."

"How can I not? You're off fighting vampires, who if all the legends are true like you say, kill people. They could kill you!"

"Kim! The pack is a really large one. There are two of us on patrol at the same time. If a vampire even attempted to do anything to me," I winced at the very idea, "someone would come to help before anything could happen."

"But Jared, what if they don't! What is there's more than one vampire and you get outnumbered and, and-"

"Kim, how can I prove to you that there's no danger?" He mused silently for a minute, before pulling over and facing me. "Kim, I want you to stay in the car. Don't get out until you see a big wolf approaching you. Do you understand?" I was having a particularly dense moment and I couldn't understand why I would get out of the car when a wolf appeared, but I trusted Jared so I just nodded. He leapt out of the car and disappeared into the forest. I waited for a while, fidgeting with my keychain until I heard an ear-splitting howl.
