Excuse me for this
I just want a kiss
I just want to know what it feels like to touch
Something so pure.
Something I'm so sure of.

Kieran's POV
My life has changed dramatically in the span of a month, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect in the future. I didn't consider myself a prisoner of Eric anymore though. I was a prisoner of myself. The weeks that have passed since Eric told me of my true nature still had me in shock, but I soon found out it was something I had to deal with. I mean who could say that they are mother fucking nature? Ha! I wasn't exactly being confined anymore either. I was allowed to go to the bar when I wanted to, but most of the time I just stayed at Eric's. It was peaceful to have the house to myself anyways.
It was an ordinary night. Eric was at the bar and I was sitting on his couch enjoying the peace of being alone again. I was occupying my time reading a book about some vampire's who sparkle, and how one of them was falling in love with a human. Seriously this Bella girl in the book was pathetic. And vampire's who sparkle? Give me a fucking break. It would be funny to ask Eric about that though, but we weren't talking to much these days.
I was finally getting towards the end of the book when a knock on the door startled me. Who the hell was at the door? As far as I knew no one knew where Eric lived, and hell I'd been here for a damn month already and I hadn't had any visitors. I got up to look out the window to see a small looking lady who looked as if she was someone's grandma, besides the fact she was in all black. I finally decided to open the door. This lady looked as harmless as they could get.
"Are you Kieran?" The lady asked me.
"Uh, yeah. Can I help you?" I said.
The lady then handed me a vile of green slime. What the hell was this? This lady was starting to freak me out.
"You must drink this." Was all she said.
"Um sorry, but I'm not drinking this. I don't even know who you are."I said trying to hand the vile back to her.
"No, you must drink it. Your mother came to me and sent me here. You must trust me girl." She said pushing my hand away.
My freakin' mother sent her here? My mother probably thought I was dead and shouldn't have had a damn clue I was here in the first place. This shit was seriously creeping me out.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think you have the right girl." Was all I could tell her. This bitch was off her rocker obviously.
"You are Kieran right?" I just shook my head. "You are soon to be Mother Nature right?"
After she said that I knew who had sent her. She hasn't visited my dreams, but once so how the hell could she visit some other person's dreams, and not mine? Hell I was the one having a damn identity crisis over here.
Finally the old lady turned to walk away, I tried to stop her, but the lady was gone. How the hell did this shit happen? And why was it happening to me?
I walked back into the living room and sat on the couch. I sat the vile down in front of me. I just stared at it.
I think I stared at it for twenty minutes before I came to the realization that I probably had to drink this stuff to stay alive or something. Why else would some voodoo old lady give it to me?
So I drank it. And then I passed out. Damn.
Kieran's Dream
I was in a field with flowers blooming everywhere. The skies where the clearest I had ever seen them. This place was beautiful. I was wearing a dress made out of real white daises. Oh hell. Now I knew what kind of dream I was in. I turned and that was when I saw her.
"Hello my dear, I see you have been well." She said smiling as a small bird landed on her shoulder.
"As well as I can be considering you never told me what the hell I was." I said. "I had to hear it from a damn vampire."
She just smiled at me.
"You planning on saying something?" I said getting angry.
"My dear you must trust that I know what's best for you. And you must trust that Eric knows what's best of you."
What the hell? I thought she tainted my blood to keep vampire's away from me and now she was telling me to trust Eric. This shit was just getting too crazy.
"What do you mean?" Was all I could ask.
"Eric has surprised me I must say. He's already helped you accept who you are. It seems he was meant to be your guardian through this wonderful experience. So trust him. You need him to help you through you're wonderful journey." She said smiling.
I was shocked. Trust Eric? That made me laugh a little.
"Who was that voodoo lady you sent last night?" I asked her. I knew the dream was going to come to an end soon so I had to get out any questions I could.
"She isn't a voodoo lady my dear. She's a good friend who has been by my side since you were born. She's a witch who is helping us both out."
A witch? Really?
"Whatever. What the hell was that stuff I had to drink?" I asked.
She laughed then, and slowly reached to graze my face. "My dear what you drank will bring you and Eric closer than ever."
I was about to ask her what the hell she was talking about when everything vanished.
I woke up in my bed somehow. I knew I had passed out on the couch after drinking that disgusting shit. I was angry, and it wasn't because of what I drank. I was angry about the fact of how she could just end my dream like that. Especially without giving me any answers. What did she even mean about me and Eric getting closer? I looked over at the clock and saw it was just a little after 8pm.
I got out of bed seeing I was still fully clothed in my pajamas from the night before. That was a relief considering I knew it was Eric who had brought me to bed in the first place. I showered and changed into another pair of my short pajama shorts and a tank top. Hey, I stay in this house 24/7 don't judge me for staying in pajamas.
I walked down stairs to see Eric fully dressed going through the book I was reading last night. I couldn't help but grin a little at what he thought about the vampire's sparking. He looked amazing, but he always looked amazing. Shit what was I thinking? It had to be the witch juice I drank.
I slowly sat beside him when he looked up at me.
"So do you sparkle?" I said smiling.
He didn't say anything. Not a word.
What the hell? He usually had a smartass comment to say back. But no, he was still staring at me not saying a word. His eyes just stared into mine, and it stayed that way for a good five minutes. I then started to feel a strange sensation come over me. I was turned on. Wow. This is not good. I was not suppose to be turned on by Eric. But I was, and I was really freakin' turned on. Damn mother nature bullshit, and damn witch juice.
Eric then pulled me close. I thought he was going to kiss me, but no he was smelling my neck.
What the hell? This was just weird, but yet hot at the same time.
"You smell different." He finally said.
I just stared at him. What was I suppose to say to that?
"What do you mean?" Was all I could get out.
"Your blood smells so sweet. The sweetest it's ever smelt." He said now kissing down my neck.
Wow I had never felt anything like this before. It was like someone else was taking over my body. Then I finally figured out what the witch juice was. It had made my blood where it wasn't poisoned anymore. I should have been mad, but at this moment I just wanted him to be closer to me.
I don't know what came over me, but I ran my fingers through his hair and whispered. "My blood won't harm you anymore, were meant to be closer." And then I kissed him.
