Hanna woke up alone the following morning. She was not surprised to see that Caleb was gone. Getting out of the bed, she took a shower and then headed out of the room to get something to eat. After that, she stayed inside the motel room the entire day thinking about the connection she had with Caleb. When the night came she headed to the balcony door and opened it.

-"You might want to pay more attention when you leave your windows open. Anyone can come inside." Caleb's voice once more came from inside the room. Hanna turned to see him settled in the middle of the bed, his hands behind his head while his eyes were closed.

-"And why would I do that? So far the only unwanted attention that I've received is yours. And I've yet to know what I did to earn such a thing." Hanna shot back at him while she raised one of her perfectly plucked eyebrows.

-"Perhaps I should tell you why you've caught my attention. Or maybe I should just let you boil a little longer." Caleb grinned when he heard her annoyed sigh before finally opening his eyes. Hanna took a step back when she saw them. She felt her skin burning all over her body. His eyes seemed to be so lifeless and yet also so compelling into making Hanna stare at him.

-"Tell me, beloved, are you familiar with the myth of Hades and Persephone?" Caleb got off the bed and quietly made his way to Hanna. His hand went to her face and rubbed her chin before going down further to her neck.

-"I am. What's that got to do with this?" Hanna raised her head to look at him while his hand brushed her hair from her neck, exposing it. Caleb bent his head down and placed a small kiss against her earlobe, making her shiver before turning his attention back to her.

-"Once upon a time those two gods existed. They are the point of origin for vampires if you want to know. Each and every single descendant of theirs that has been born over the centuries has an Intended out there, sort of like a soul mate. While we drink the blood of humans, the blood of the Intended would allow us to sate our thirst and never again feed on humans. You are my Intended and I've been searching for you for a long time."

Hanna took a step back when she heard him. Suddenly her world started spinning and she fainted. Caleb easily caught her body and transported her back to his place by the sea, leaving behind only a silent room full of lights.

He carried Hanna to the bed and placed her on it. As he had suspected, telling her so much information was too much for her. He placed a small kiss on her forehead, looking outside the balcony while his hand played with her hair absentmindedly. Come the new day, he would have to start telling her the rest of the story and find a way to convince her not to run again...
