-1If it is Tuesday and you are reading this Jen and haven't finished your project for Creative Writing I will take Dwayne away from you. You promised not to read it until you were done. -sigh- I'm acting like a nagging parent.

Still a promise is a promise. I don't want you to get a bad grade in writing clas there will be much shame if you get a bad grade on your project about your favorite topic. Vampires are amazing! For all that aren't us. We both are obsessed with them. (we creep the class out too, they just don't understand) Anyway if it's Wednesday and a snow day -fingers crossed- I will see you in class Thursday to see what you have came up with. See if you can beat the sweetest of mine. See ya girlie I will post more tomorrow if we do have a snow day but right now I need to get some Count Chocula cereal to munch on.

The Beauty That Tamed The Beast

David POV

She won over our dormant hearts. She danced with me at the concert. She tries to pull her foot out of my grasp. The pranks she pulled on us. Her mirror blue eyes.. I felt something touch my lips "Claire.." I never wanted to leave this dream.

"I love you David." I need you Claire.. I opened my eyes. "Claire?" There she was, my blue eyed angel. I wanted to embrace her. To prove that she wasn't part of the dream I was having. If it was a dream, I in no way wanted to go back to reality. She jerked back and guilt flooded her thoughts. She wasn't a dream. She laid her head on my chest, I inhaled the scent of roses that was coming from her. "I'm so sorry." It was barely a whisper.

I didn't care what happened while she was away the only thing that mattered was that she was safe and clinging to me. Tears brimmed her eyes. She was breaking down. Her remorseful thoughts made me sit up to give her a kiss. I had been unable to touch her for days.. She tugged back blocking her lips with her hand."Claire it wasn't your fault I don't blame you."

"Yes it was and he and I almost.." She covered her face, ashamed. "He put a spell on me to make me confirm some claim and to-" I nodded. He tired to seduce her and claim her as his own. He didn't want any other male to take her virginity so he made Darren want to wait and put the barrier up knowing that I wouldn't hold back.

"He didn't and now your all mine again." I grinned, letting my yearning of being together fill my imagination. I winced, my face was still healing.

"Your in no condition for that." Her thoughts were just as erotic as mine. I summed up all my thoughts. I want you..

She swallowed a little nervous. "Once your better.."

"Your not tainted." I remembered her earlier guilt.

She sighed. "I wanted him." I saw where he had touched her and a protective growl erupted in my chest. The closer she got.. I couldn't hold back much longer. Her swift kiss made me argue. "I'm feeling better."

She chuckle softly "Not well enough for-"

She stopped and I felt energy roll off her in dangerous magnitude. She held her middle and leap from the bed. An inclination came over and it forced her to the entrance. I called hoping to break the trance over her. Paul was immobilized. I knew my enemy was coming, the sun. She levitated and her head went back looking toward the receding eclipse. Her very immodest look of a black skirt and a top that exposed her slender back and toned stomach. Made my mouth water. She lowered to the ground as I almost shoved her against the wall and took her. The sun was the only reason I hung back. Almost being almost burn to a crisp once was enough for me this century. Her eyes were black and her movement affected my ability to speak or move.

"Dam Claire!" Paul looked her up and down lingering on her body. Paul was pretty thick. I didn't know what she was able to do. She might set Paul on fire for real. Though I wouldn't be sorry for that since he was ogling my girl. "You know since David isn't-" I'll kill him myself.

"Finish that sentence Paul and I will-" She looked threatening with her body stance, and with a very appealing body. I almost fell off the bed with the oblivious leaning forward. I sat on the side of the bed making the blanket cover me lower half.

"I know. I know. Set me on fire or make me displeased for the rest of my existence."

"That's right." Claire hugged him with affection. His hands were on her uncovered back Don't you dare Paul. He grinned Always spoiling the pleasurable things for me. "Your really hot." Obviously directing this at Claire. I needed more blood to get better..

"Thanks Paul." She giggled as she let go.

Paul explained "No I mean yes.. you're a babe I meant that your skin is hot." Making her lay her own hand on her stomach, shrugging. "Maybe your just cold."

"No, it's defiantly you."

"Let me feel you." I just wanted to get my hands on her mostly and also the curiosity of Paul's little discovery made me want to give my outlook.

"I repeat your to wounded for that." Not for long…restraining the new thoughts. She almost floated over to be situated beside me. I stoked her shoulder first, feeling a tingle at the heat of her skin. I brushed her back with my full hand, loving her silken skin. "You are warmer."

"It's probable cause I know your naked under there." Hell, she was tormenting me.

"That's it I'm going to bed." I forget that Paul was in the room. He left to let us be alone. I growled in my throat. The hunger for her building into pure passion.

"Let me feed you." Her wrist was close to my lips. I wouldn't take her blood. I couldn't.. I had promised myself I would never hurt her. I felt her other hand rest on my leg "Please, I made you like this.. I know my blood can fully restore you." I would heal soon. I didn't need her blood. I voiced my decision even though she knew I wouldn't already. "I can't bite you.."

"You can because I want you to." She bent over and located the switch blade she acquired the second night with us.

"No Claire please I-" She did it so quick, the blade ran across her wrist in a three inch vertical line. She positioned her cut in front of me.

"Hurry before it heals." I have to make this right and knowing I was listening you'll be all better for certain activities.

"Okay, just tell me to stop and I will."

She rolled her eyes. I'll be fine. "Drink my love."

I brought her wrist to my lips I didn't shift my face I didn't want to scare her. Even though that was ridiculous with all that she had gone through. Her blood hit my tongue, it was the sweetest taste I have ever experienced. I took two big mouthful and took her arm away. I felt rejuvenated, I couldn't feel the sting anymore.

She held her wrist as I touched my face, it was back to normal. I had never feed on someone and let them live. I didn't shift in my vampire face at her blood like I would have on other occasions. She made me harmless. I had never been harmless before, not to anyone. I would kill those you dared to mess with me. I killed without mercy. I am a monster, yet I found true love.
