Mistake, the only word that crossed, Will's mind, that night in his room. It was a mistake to kiss Lizzie a very bad, almost deadly mistake.

The reason for this was, even though Will's curse went away at dusk, the vampire part of it, could and would randomly come out at the worst times.

For example, his fangs could come out during a kiss giving the girl amnesia or possibly poisoning them, hence Charlie's warning.

Will paced in front of his bed, running his fingers through his dark shaggy hair. Luckily nothing had happened, but that was no excuse for losing any bit of control.

He sighed, she could make him lose control and he hated it, his perfectly placed façade could melt away in her presence if he stayed with her too long.

The only thing that gave Will any comfort was the fact she was not a blue-blood, and therefore could not break the curse, but a little piece of him that Will buried under all his emotions wanted her more than anything, to be the one to break the curse.

That's when Will's bedroom door was tossed open, jerking him away from his thoughts.

"Yo, Willy-boy," Charlie said entering the room, while carrying a suitcase, "I'm staying on the third floor with you, and no excuses."

"Whatever." Will growled under his breath, it was going to be a long night.

Lizzie stared up at the ceiling, feeling extremely confused. First Will insults her and then he has her on a dance floor, kissing her.

She closed her eyes and saw his clear eyes and pale face staring back at her, she tried to imagine him with fangs and found it was very easy.

Lizzie could picture him as a vampire with his pale skin, clear eyes, and litheness. She then realized something, she was starting to believe in vampires, which was crazy, but then did that also mean he was crazy as well?

Or did vampires really exist and she was just living life, looking through rose colored glasses? Lizzie didn't know what to believe, she considered her self an open minded person, but this…this was beyond open-mindedness.

This was insanity pure and simple, that's when she came to the conclusion, that she was getting Rachelle and they were going up to the third floor tonight, and that was final.

--

Evening.

"What are we searching for exactly?" Rachelle asked uncertainly, as she watched Lizzie sweep the flashlight across the dark hallway.

"Well, anything out of the ordinary, for one." Lizzie replied distractedly, she hadn't told Rachelle what she suspected Will to be, but had instead played on Rachelle's sense of adventure.

"Well, Lizzie dear, everything up here is out of the ordinary." Rachelle commented teasingly.

"True…um let's go in here." Lizzie said shining the light on a thick mahogany door that was trimmed in gold.

"After you." Rachelle said gesturing with her hand.

"Chicken." Lizzie whispered as she turned the brass knob, expecting to be locked, but was surprised to find just the opposite.

Lizzie shined the flashlight around the room, to reveal heavy black velvet curtains covering the walls, a large red and gold rug, and a medium sized oak desk and on the desk was a computer, a book case sat in the corner of the room, and a large brick fireplace sat behind the desk.

"Nice digs." Rachelle commented from behind Lizzie.

"Hmm." Lizzie answered distractedly as she walked over to the desk, and sat down. "You look in the bookcase." she told Rachelle, as she went online.

"Yes, sir." Rachelle replied with mocked salute, as she walked over to the bookcase.

Lizzie ignored her, as she checked the history of the computer, a lot of business sites that held no interest for her, and that was about it.

"Uh," Lizzie groaned, and went offline.

"Find anything?" Rachelle questioned from her corner, as she shined her flashlight on a book.

"No. You?"

"Well-it's a little weird actually. He has a lot of books about vampires, mythology, fairy tales-you get the idea." she sad with a slight frown.

Lizzie grinned, wasn't that proof, enough? But that still didn't stop her from looking through the desk drawers.

She found a lot of business cards, files, more stuff that held not a bit of Lizzie's interest, but consumed a lot of her time.

"Find anything?" Rachelle asked a little while later with a yawn.

"No."

"Well, I'm heading downstairs to get some rest, are you coming with me?" she asked standing up from her kneeling position.

"No, I'm going to stay up here for a few more minutes." Lizzie replied, wanting to go through the second drawer, before heading downstairs.

"Alright, but Will should be back from his date soon, so don't stay up here too long." Rachelle cautioned.

"Sure thing." Lizzie responded, as she watched Rachelle walk away.

When Lizzie opened the other drawer, she knew right away there was nothing in the drawer that she was looking for, it was just more files and completely useless stuff.

That's when she noticed the crack along the edge of the bottom of the drawer, Lizzie immediately tried to pry up the bottom with her nails, but it didn't work. So she looked around for a knife, anything that would help her pry up the bottom of the drawer.

Lizzie was so set on her task, that she didn't notice when Will's car came up the long driveway or the footsteps approaching the door a little while later.

"Ah-ha." Lizzie rejoiced under her breath as she found a small blade, and tried to pull up the bottom.

That's when the door was tossed open, and a man walked in.

Lizzie jerked her head up, and could only watch as he flicked a dim lamp on, to reveal Will Darcy's handsome face, and waited for the yelling to begin.

"Hello, Elizabeth." he said pleasantly, as he walked over to the fireplace, and began to start a fire. "I see you found my office." he commented.

"Yeah-well…um…" Lizzie struggled for words, feeling extremely idiotic.

"So, what are you looking for exactly?" Will questioned as he took a step back from the fire, and walked over to Lizzie.

Lizzie sighed she might as well ask him now, there was no going back anyway, so he could laugh in her face or throw her into a mental institution or sue her or whatever, but at least could picture him as something besides a vampire.

"Look, Will, the reason I'm up here is because I have come to the conclusion your either one of two things." Lizzie stated weakly.

Will waited for her to continue, but when she didn't, he went ahead and asked, "What are these two things?"

"One, your either crazy or a-a-"

"A what?" he asked with an amused look in his eyes.

Lizzie sighed, "A vampire." she said waiting for him to call the people in the little white coats, but he remained silent. "So, which are you?" she finally asked.

Will sighed, this secret was getting out like wildfire, and it would soon be dangerous, but he had pretty much told her, no wonder she thought he was crazy.

"I could deny it," he began, "but it would be useless, when you already knew before I even hinted at it. So the question is would you like to see my vampire traits?" he asked almost jokingly.

Lizzie looked at him, as if saying, "Are you playing me?" But, instead answered with a "Sure."

He nodded, and then gave a sort of a smile to reveal a pair of fangs, and then he heard Lizzie gasp. "Now the last trait I want to show you involves, you trusting me." Will said, watching her reaction.

"What is it?" Lizzie asked suspiciously. "Because, if it's watching you drinking someone's blood, I'm out."

"No," he said with a shake of his head, "It's flying, but I'll have to carry you, and your going to have to trust me."

Lizzie gave a slow almost unsure nod, "okay, I'll trust you."

He gave a slight nod, before walking over to a pair of French doors that led out onto a balcony. "Follow me." Will commanded.

Lizzie followed, wondering how she missed the balcony, it was like the first thing anyone else would haven noticed, but her thoughts were soon drawn away from this and back to the matter at hand. Flying.

"This is where it get's awkward." Will, admitted, "I'm going to have to carry you." he said with a sigh, as he wondered why in the world he had even suggested this.

Lizzie nodded, and walked over to him, and blushed, as he picked her up.

"This is where it becomes frightening." he whispered into her ear, as he placed his foot on the gold railing.

Lizzie bit her lip, as she realized he was going to jump, and if he turned out to be some sort of psycho that thought he could fly, she would be killed instantly.

"Place your arms around my neck." he told her softly, as he placed his other foot on the railing.

Lizzie did as she was told, she wrapped her arms around his neck so tight, and she thought she might be strangling him, but he didn't complain.

"Here we go." he breathed excitedly.

Lizzie couldn't close her eyes she could only watch in terror as he jumped into the air, and she waited for impact, but it never came, instead they soared forward into the dark woods surrounding the mansion.

she felt her breath catch in her throat as they flew, it was a feeling of the utmost freedom, but even knowing she wasn't going to fall, didn't stop her from clinging onto Will, and he couldn't exactly say he minded her clinging onto him.

After a few minutes of silence, Lizzie couldn't keep quite any longer, she was bursting with questions. "How do you land?" she asked or rather yelled.

"Let me find a good spot, and I'll show you." he replied, and a few seconds later found a perfect place in the dark forest, he began to descend as of he was wearing a parachute.

"Oh." Lizzie said, as Will landed with a soft thud. "T-that's amazing."

"Hm, it's not that great." he said with an air of nonchalance, and then added, "You can let go of me now."

Lizzie blushed, as she let go of his neck, but he still didn't put her down. "You can let me go now." she said emphatically, wanting him to be just as embarrassed as she was, but if he was even bothered he didn't show it.

"You do realize you can't tell anyone about me?" he asked, as he gently placed her down.

"Of course." she said indigently, and then asked another one of her burning questions, "Since you're a vampire, do you…uh-"

"Drink blood?" Will interrupted.

"Yeah."

"No, I eat and drink like a normal human." Will said watching her intently, and had to admit she was fascinating to watch, it was as if she couldn't stand still, she would move every few seconds, just little motions that no one would notice, unless watching her intently.

"So, is that the reason, you can't go out in the daytime?" Lizzie asked, watching him, and realizing he could kill her if he wanted, they were out in the dark forest alone, and she had no idea where they were.

"Part of it." he replied in a low voice.

"Hmm, so can you feel emotions?" she asked curiously.

"Of course," he replied amusedly, "It's the heat and the cold that I cannot feel."

"Oh," Lizzie responded feeling extremely self conscious, as she watched his snow white skin shimmer in the moonlight. "Are you immortal, or can you die?"

"I age just like you, but normal things such as a bullet or a car crash can't kill me and I cannot get sick."

Lizzie was silent as she considered her next question.

Will continued to watch her, taking in everything from her hi tops, to the way her hair flipped out, and he wanted to control this overwhelming emotion that felt like a fiery blaze.

"So, when did you become a vampire?" Lizzie finally asked interrupting his thoughts.

"About a year ago." he replied a little slower, than his usual rapid fire answers.

"How did it happen?" Lizzie asked.

And, Will realized, her questioning was getting to close to the whole truth it was time for them to get back to the mansion. "It's late we need to get back." he replied by way of answering.

Lizzie nodded, and walked over to him and waited as he lifted her up into his arms.

"Hang on." he told her, catching a whiff vanilla.

Lizzie grinned, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "This is so awkward," she told him laughingly.

"Hm." was his response as he prepared to take off, all the while wishing he could tell her the other part of his curse, but he knew it was pointless, she could never be the girl he needed.

Ah, here you go another lovely chapter, bet you thought Will would flip when he found Lizzie in his office, but no, he kept his cool. So thanks for all the reviews and I'll be looking foreword to some more.
