I love Charlie to death but I wish he wouldn't be so exuberant sometimes. If I didn't know better I would wonder exactly why he loves her so instantaneously. He doesn't like anyone, even me sometimes. I smile half heartedly and continue thinking about her visits.

She is the most interesting creature I have ever met. She's intelligent, curious, yet cautious. She is beautiful and smells delicious. If I wasn't nearly 700 years old she would not be alive. She very nearly didn't make it already. Thank any god who will listen that she decided to disappear that first time. I lost what little control I did have, thank goodness I gained it back quickly enough that she was out of harm for her second visit.

I haven't had a lapse like that in nearly 500 years… She must be of the prophecy. No one has been able to jump since the very beginning, almost 1000 years ago. Goodness, life has become interesting again.

Ugh, why does my alarm clock have to go off so early?

I reach out and shut off our alarm clock. He's been up for an hour already so he gets his long shower in. He takes at least half an hour to shower whereas I only need 10 minutes. Goofy boy, and speaking of such…

"Hey love, awake finally?" he asks emerging from the bathroom in only a towel.

"Yes, finally awake." I respond getting off the bed and sauntering over to him with a smirk, "I only wake up for sexy men in bathrobes."

"I think we can arrange for a sexy man in a bathrobe to be here every morning to wake you up." He says while laughing and finishing it off with a wink.

I wrap my arms around while looking up into his beautiful eyes, I give him a kiss. "I need to go shower, love. I will be back soon."

"Alright shower away."

I grabbed a towel and went to shower. The hot water felt good with all the tension I've dealt with the past week. This thing needs to get out of my dream, assuming it is only a dream. I finished my shower and walked back into the bedroom in only a towel. I think it's only a fair turnabout play. As I entered the room, so did he, from the smells emanating through the apartment, he was making breakfast.

"OOO, look who's sexy in a towel." He says while wrapping his arms around my waist.

Laughingly I respond, "Look who's fully clothed."

"We could change that." His now husky voice replies.

And as if a cruel god was playing with our lives the fire alarm went off from a burning breakfast. He ran out to fix what he forgot. I decided it was time to get dressed. I had slipped into my pants when the fire alarm stopped going off and Lot rushed back into the room to assure me that everything was fine.

"That's all fine and dandy love but now how late are we gonna be?" I asked him.

"Oh only a few minutes, both places can live without us for ten minutes."

"Alright then, let's go figure out what's still edible of breakfast." I move into the hallway as I pull on my shirt, this is too complicated for me and I trip. Thank goodness Lot was behind me and used to my clumsiness. He caught me and brought me around to plant a kiss on my lips.

"Even after all this time you're still super sweet." I say with a huge smile.

He grins and replies, "A reason to still love me, huh?"

"Oh, I'd love you anyway handsome." I gave him another kiss before I broke away. I needed to get going to keep the girls from getting angry with me. "What's for breakfast?"

"How about we have extra crispy bacon and eggs for breakfast?"

"Sure, you know I like my bacon crispy." He pushes the bacon in front of me, "Maybe not that crispy," I say laughingly. I now know what made the smoke alarm go off.

"Alright, alright we don't have to eat the bacon. We can break it up though and use it on salads if we want. YUM!"

I laugh, "That's fantastic Lot. Another reason you are the chef and I'm the book keeper."

He grins as he finishes the eggs, "'Ere we go." We eat and get off to work. He drops me off before heading to this restaurant.

I drop my bag on the desk in the back startling Gwen. "Hey hun, sorry I scared you. How are you today?" I greet her.

"Mleh, I've been better. How are you? How was your night?" She asks raising her eyebrows a tad.

I sigh, "My nights with Lot are always amazing, must you always ask? I'm good," I looked around making sure it was just Gwen and I before I continued. "I had another dream that woke me up at the same time the first one did, 2 a.m."

"What happened this time?"

"We made small talk. He had made this huge breakfast and it seemed as if no time had passed from the first dream to the next. He even seemed confused. He refuses to eat the food, so I refuse to eat it. His favorite book is Dracula and then Charlie, his dog, tackles me and BOOM, I've woken up again."

"Wow, I have never heard of anything like this. Ever since we saw him that night in the apartment I began to do research."

"Research? What have you found?" I asked now completely curious.

"It seems that there are no accounts, at least that I can find, of one spirit being in color and all others being black and white. There also seems to be no certifiable accounts of people having such vivid otherworldly dreams of a spirit they'd seen."

My thought from in the dream occurred to me again, "What if he's not a spirit?"

She thinks about it for a minute, "That's most likely the case, at least partially. What is he then?"

"Now that I'm not sure about, I have a hunch though." She begins listening intently, "He was talking about having met quite a few vampires. I think he is one."

"That's interesting. It would change all current perceptions we have of Vampires." She always takes a scientific approach to things that she does not understand yet.

"His exact words were, 'Garlic does nothing, sunlight is only mildly annoying, and the teeth do not have to be fangs.' When I asked him if he had met any vampires, he said yes. He said that the need for human blood was true but if practiced a vampire can deny that need."

"Again, wow. Let me do some more research and figure some things out and I we will talk tonight. For now, there is work to do."

I sigh, "You're right, we can't let Karla do it all." I say laughingly, "Off to a day of boring work!"

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hey you all. Thanks for reading. Now before I bring up the next chapter I want to ask a favor. I want anyone who reads this to tell me what's wrong with it. If there is nothing wrong, tell me what I could do to make it even better. :)

I've heard from 241marina241 so she is exempt. Thank you for already doing this hun. I appreciate it.

I should have the next one up in the next week. I think I'm going to write it differently. Be prepared!!
