Chapter 2: Safe with you

An: AHHHH! Thanks so much for the reviews!

Silverchocolate: I absolutely LOVE the Silver Kiss and Blood and Chocolate (Blood and Chocolate a little more but its all good!) Yes I do like vampire stories, and I thought 'Hey why not write one for Hey Arnold!'

Ok to explain a few things that I SHOULD HAVE, but DIDN'T explain. This story is AU (if you don't know what that means it mean alternate universe, if you don't know what THAT means it means something TOTALLY different then the original story plot of the fic you are write/reading). Also about the blonde comment if you noticed I said she had black hair (hint) she'll explain it more in the chapter. Also (no offense to blondes) Blondes (for Stereotypes, and a little from my opinion, plus I act like a blonde too) are easy to get (especially when drunk) and seduce (actually anyone is I just picked blondes).

Um, ok I hope I explain any confusing I may have caused so far. Enjoy!

It's been two months… Helga thought as she sat at her bay window look up at the moon. She seemed more interested in it now, It's so beautiful… she thought with a sigh as she turned and left the window.

She sat in front of her vanity and looked at her reflection; she had soft black hair that reached to the middle of her back. She ran her fingers through her hair; I need to dye my hair again.  She thought as she pouted, she was once a blonde but after a change of style and way of life she dyed her hair black and became a full time Goth.

She had a small pale face with big blue eyes that peered into your soul. She didn't wear much makeup except for black liner. Her ears were adorned with earrings, and an eyebrow ring above her right eye. Her black tank top was tight fitting showing her figure. Her small wrists were covered in bracelets and spikes, also on her neck lay a silver cross. She fingered it slowly, she was very superstitious, and wasn't ashamed.

She loved to read and was a big dreamer, when she was younger she use to wait for her prince charming to rescue her and sweep her off her feet.

But now she wanted more, more adventure, danger, fun.

She believed in werewolves, but also at the same time frightened of them too that's why she wore a silver cross, Werewolves are afraid of silver. She read once from a book. She was fascinated by Pirates and use to daydream sailing on the Atlantic, nothing but the open sea as she would rob ships, and search for buried treasure.   

But she was mostly interested in Vampires, like the idea of living for ever lurking in the shadow of the night. She loved it all she loved the moon or anything to do with the night.

She couldn't get Arnold out of her mind, those eyes… she thought she could die in those eyes. If she could she would stare into those eyes forever.  

Helga sighed but it had been two months since they've seen each other he probably forgot who she was.

She stood and walked towards the doors the chains dangling from her pants jingled with every step. Her booted thumped down the hall as she walked to the door.

"Where are you going??" Her roommate Cindy called.

"For a walk!" and with that she walked into the sweet cool darkness of the night.

He slowly wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled satisfied, he looked down at her now dead body in the middle of the alleyway.

Pour soul… he thought but shrugged. He had gotten use to killing his victims; he didn't feel as guilty as he did before. She sort of pity her, being a vampire for so long makes you envy the living. But yet they're so tempting, you crave for their blood, their sweet nectar of life….

But the bad part was actually falling in love with a victim; he remembered his first love so vividly like it was yesterday…

"Arnold don't you understand? I love you!" Rebecca cried as she smiled through the tears.

"You love me?" Arnold asked as he played with his straw hat.

"Yes, I do! I know it is custom for the men to invite the girls, but I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Sunday dance at the Oldenburg's farm." She asked timidly looking down with a blush.

Arnold looked up to the night sky, trying so hard not to reach for Rebecca and drink her sweet blood. "First there's something important I think I should tell you" he whispered.

"Arnold you can tell me anything and I'll still love you the same" she said looking lovingly into his eyes.

"Okay… I'm- I'm a vampire" he said and looked away ashamed.

Rebecca staggered backwards, "You spawn of the devil!" she shrieked.

"Wait!" Arnold cried.

Rebecca yelped as she fell, Arnold rushed to her aid, "are you all right?" he asked as he ran his fingers through her auburn hair.

"Get away please!" she cried and tried to get up. Arnold grabbed her slender arm quickly.

"Wait" he whispered, he lend in and kissed her, she returned the kiss Arnold slowly started to kiss down her neck. And without noticing he bit her neck.

Rebecca gave out a cry and tried to escape but soon she fell limply into his arms.

Arnold gave out a cry of disgust and threw on the ground, he looked down at his bloody hands and vomited.

Tried and sick Arnold left his Amish ways and set off to New York to start a new life…

Ever since then Arnold never let a girl get to close to him, he didn't want to get hurt and he didn't want her to get hurt.

I've lived for many decades, met many girls, but still that mystery still captures my thoughts. Arnold thought was he lay in the grassy field looking up at the night sky humming little tunes to himself.

"Is this spot taken?" a soft beautiful voice asked. Arnold looked up to see her.

"No of course not pull up some grass." He said and smiled as she lay besides him looking up at the sky.

He was so close to her he could smell her Jasmine perfume.

Arnold glanced at her; she looked so beautiful in the moon light she sighed softly as she stared at the moon.

"Why are you here?" Arnold asked.

"What do you mean?" Helga asked turning to him.

"Aren't afraid of me? I am a vampire of course." Arnold said turning to his side.

"I know what you are" Helga said as she returned to looking up at the sky.

"And that doesn't bother you?" He asked.

"If it did I wouldn't be here with you now would I?" Helga asked smiling,

"Besides I like vampires, I think they're interesting" She said softly looking him straight in the eyes.

Arnold looked at her, felt flattered that she wasn't afraid of and was comfortable around him, but he didn't like the sound of 'I think they're interesting'. What's so interesting about vampires? To him he thought they were disgusting vile creatures who hunt in the night stealing the lives of others just to feed themselves.

How pathetic, he thought to himself with disgust.

Too bad you're one of them, He thought sadly.

~*~

Helga watched silently as Arnold thought to himself, he was so beautiful, so peaceful.

Why did someone as gentle as you get cursed? She thought sadly to herself as she turned to look at the stars again.

"Because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time" Arnold said as he answered her unasked question.

"Do you like being a vampire?" she asked sitting up.

"Would you like living forever, seeing mankind evolve in more of the horrible beasts that they are? So much killing, I feel nothing I'm always cold, always, I have no heart. I care for no one, and no one cares for me. This is just how it's gonna be." Arnold said with a sigh.

Helga just watched him, as she tried to form the right words.

"Arnold, I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel better, me being human and all, but I want you to know that I'm here for you." She said in a whispered as she held his hand.

Though she hardly knew this guys she felt so drawn to him, she felt safe, and she liked that feeling and deep down she wished she could feel this forever.
