I stared up at the sun in wonder. Somehow I wasn't on fire. This is so mental. Christian was staring at me in wonder from under the table cloth. The train had come to a halting stop a mile or so up the road. The broken carriage wasn't far behind. I could see the passengers climbing off the train and forming into a group on the ground. I don't think they noticed Christian and myself. I looked up at Christian in wonder.

"Christian, I thought vampires burned in the sun?" I glanced up at the sun again.

Christian took a hesitant step towards me.

"We do burn up in the sun Ana. I don't know what the hell is happening. I have never heard of this before."

I quirked an eyebrow up to my lover.

"Have you, you know, tested the theory."

Christian sighed and lifted his hand out from underneath the tablecloth cloaking his body. His hand started to smoke instantly and he groaned and shielded it back underneath the table cloth. Apparently he did burn.

"This is weird, right?"

Christian's eyes were wide.

"This is more than weird Anastasia. This is impossible. You're a vampire, and you can walk in the sunlight. We need to protect you. If the others found out…" He trailed off.

"Lab rat in some lab?" I suggested.

Christian shook his head in agreement.

Suddenly I froze, memories of my nightmare coming back.

"That dream I had about Father- he's coming for us isn't he? If he finds out I can walk in the sunlight then what?"

Christian shuddered.

"I don't want to think about it. This train is done for. We're going to have to walk until we find a vehicle." I went to grab Christian's hand for the walk but he pulled away.

"Sunlight still hurts me remember."

I felt like a moron.

"Right, sorry." Christian and I climbed onto the train tracks and headed west. He was covered in his cloak and I was walking beside him basking in the sunlight.

A few hours later we had found a car parked at a rundown gas station. The owner of the car went into the station to pay for his gas. Christian quickly jumped into the back seat of the car while I hopped in the front. I pressed on the gas and we flew out of there like a bat out of hell. I could see the owner running after his car as we took off. He eventually stopped running and stopped to catch his breath. We were out of there headed to California.

It was just after eight at night when we arrived in Los Angeles. The City of Angels. I have never been here before and the city lights were stunning. Christian was now in the passenger seat, free of the table cloth. He wasn't saying anything. In fact- he hasn't uttered a word since we stole the car. The silence was infuriating so I turned up the radio.

On a dark desert highway..cool wind in my hair.

I pressed down on the gas as we listened to Hotel California by the Eagles.

We were on the highway headed for downtown Los Angeles when I poked jumped and looked at me.

"Where are we headed?"

"To another safehouse- here."

There was a GPS attached to our stolen car and Christian input our destination in it for me. He didn't say much else. My brows furrowed.

What did I do to you? Moody creature.

I sighed and continued the drive. Fifteen minutes later found us on Hollywood Boulevard.

"Stop here." Christian ordered me. I pulled over and parked the car. He climbed out and I followed. There were people everything. Jesus freaks, punks, street kids, sightseers, businessmen alike. Christian took my hand cautiously as if I might bite him and lead me down Hollywood Boulevard. We reached a store called "Jax's Videos." He opened the door and I followed him inside. He nodded at the clerk working. The clerk paid no attention. We walked through the back of the store to a door. It had a keypad. Christian typed in a few numbers and the door opened. We walked up about four flights of stairs before reaching another door. Christian unlocked the door with another code and ushered me inside. He locked the door firmly behind him.

We were in another safe house. This one looked much nicer than the one in New York. There was a king sized bed in the center, a mini fridge, a large flat screen television and a huge walk in closet filled with men's clothing. Christian walked over to the mini fridge and pulled out two bags of blood. He handed me one. I hadn't realized how hungry I was. He apparently was to because he ripped open the blood bag like a feral animal and chugged it down. I finished mine a few seconds later and he took the two bags and dropped them into a garbage can beside the mini fridge.

Suddenly he was in front of me. His eyes were flaring.

"You are so fucking beautiful." He wrapped his arms around me and tried to kiss me but I gave him a shove back. His brows furrowed in confusion.

"You practically ignore me since the train accident and now all of a sudden you want me? I don't think so."

Christian smirked and closed his eyes for a brief moment.

"I wasn't ignoring you Ana I was in shock. My beautiful girlfriend can walk in the sunlight despite being a creature of the night. Can you blame me?"

Girlfriend? Holy shit.

I shake my head no.

"No- I can't blame you. This is just really confusing. What does it all mean?"

Christian shrugged and put his arms around me.

"I don't know and frankly right now I don't give a fuck. All I want is to be inside you."

That's all I needed to hear. I pushed Christian down on the bed and climbed on top of him. I kissed him aggressively, baffled by this newfound confidence. Christian looked up at me with hungry eyes and flipped me over so he was on top. He tore my shirt right off of me but was careful with my jeans. I tore his shirt off as well. The fabric was floating to the floor like feathers plucked from a bird. Christian trailed kisses down my neck. I grasped his hard and ready dick and he groaned and pushed against my leg. He threw off his pants and boxers and I followed suit. A moment later he was sinking inside me deeply. He had a hand on either side of my head as he thrust into me. I was panting.

" . ." He moaned into my mouth.

"I love you too." I moaned back.

We made love well into the night. I was exactly where I wanted to be, with the love of my eternal life.

…

"Father we had a location on Christian Grey. He and a female companion were spotted at the scene of a train accident a few miles from California. "

Father, who was sitting at a desk reading an old book looked up and grinned.

"The City of Angels eh? My my, it appears our reunion will be sooner then I thought."

Father stood up from his desk and went to look out his window. He could see a clear view of the Hollywood sign. He grinned wide.
