I personally think this is one of my fav chapters because it is kind of a short Twilight parody. Hee hee... Enjoy.

It never came.

Kyle slowly unwound his body and sat up to open his tired eyes to see the pale outline of Katrina hunched over the cougar, biting the back of it's neck. "Oh my God!"

A few seconds later, Katrina backed away from the dead cat and wiped her mouth with her arm. She then looked over at Kyle. "Did it hurt you?"

He shook his dizzy head. "I think I'm okay... Did you kill that thing?"

Katrina stood up. "Please don't tell anyone what you saw." Her gaze went to the ground. "I don't want to have to deal with my brother later."

Kyle got to his feet and walked over to her. "So Stan wasn't lying?"

"Stan? Is that the kid with the brown jacket?"

"Yeah. He said you and your brother were vampires."

Katrina sniffed. "So?"

"Are you really?"

She blinked. "See this scar on my neck?" Katrina pushed one of her pigtails back to expose it. Her eyes glazed over. "I don't want this to happen to you."

He backed away a little. Katrina laughed, kind of enjoying his reaction. "I'm not going to bite you. My brother would though so you better keep your mouth shut about this."

"Sure." Kyle shook from the cold.

"Are you lost or something?" There was a hint of concern in her voice.

"Um... yeah."

"How long have you been out here?"

"Since ten thirty."

"Damn! That was two hours ago. We need to get you home before you get sick."

"That'll take forever."

Katrina got excited. "Hey! I'll show you how I get around."

She looked at Kyle's expression and beamed. "You'll be fine and we'll get you home faster."

"Are you going to turn into a bat or something?"

"No. I can't turn into a bat."
"Why? You're a vampire right?" His eyes widend, puzzled.

"Yeah but we don't turn into bats!" Katrina smiled. She never knew humans could be so... cute. "Get on my back."

"I'm heavier than you are! You can't backpack me to my house!"

She rolled her eyes and squated down like a frog. "True but I can run."

"But-"

"Just get on my fucking back! Do you want to die out here or what?"

Kyle reluctantly held onto Katrina's neck. He couldn't help but move his arm over a little to take a peek at the pale scar.

Katrina pushed his legs up so she could grasp them with her arms. "I hope you don't get sick easy."

A few moments passed and she took off into the woods. Kyle felt weightless as he tried to get a view at everything around him. It was as if time was nonexistent even though it flashed by second by second. There was no evidence of them ever touching the ground. The chaos finally stopped a few minutes later.

Kyle fell off Katrina's back and pressed his head. "Oh my God... I'm so tired and lightheaded..."

Katrina showed pity as she pulled him to his feet. "I'm sorry. I probably made it worse. Will you be okay?"

"I think so," he barely whispered. "I just want to lay down."

Katrina struggled to keep Kyle awake long enough to get to his house. She could tell she wouldn't see him with his friends tomorrow.

Once in his room, Kyle threw his jacket off and flopped into his bed, his head whirling, trying to make sense of it all.

Katrina sighed. "Before you go to sleep promise me two things."

"What?" he croaked, desperately getting under the covers.

"Promise you won't tell anyone about what happened or what you saw... and never get lost in the woods again."

"Okay I promise." He was half asleep already.

She turned but remembered something. "What's your name?"

"...Kyle..."

"Cool. Bye Kyle."

There was no response.

As Katrina crept out of Kyle's house there were three things she was absolutely positive. First, Kyle knew she was a vampire. Second, the event had to be forever silenced from everyone and anyone. And third, she was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
