The loud music around me was the second thing that was pissing me off the most. The first one being the young lady in front of me, who just poured the entirety of her drink on my shirt.

-"I'm sooooo sorry! let me help you!"

Her feet were dancing at a weird rhythm due to the amount of alcohol she must have consumed. She got out of nowhere a tissue and tried to tap it on my drenched clothes. I caught her hand and gave her the best fake smile possible.

-"Don't worry, I'm fine."

I gently pushed her over, but due to her condition, she stumbled back into some of the other guys. They immediately turned to me, and I could feel in their eyes the burning need for a fight. They have been waiting for such an opportunity all night.

-"Hey who do you think you are?!"

I didn't have time to deal with that right now. I just ignored them and tried to move away, but one of them grabbed my wrist and forced me to face him.

-"Hey! I just asked you a question bitch!"

Large shoulders were in front of me before I could do anything. In an instant, the atmosphere around the whole group changed. What was primitive and aggressive transformed into fear and hesitation. My whole body tensed up, I never needed to see his face to recognize him. I knew him too well now, how his body is, the color of his hair, his simple but teasing outfits, the way he smelled...I already knew all of that.

-"Come on guys, I'm going to ask you to not call my friend like that. She might be a bit harsh, but she doesn't deserve such a name..."

His deep voice sent shivers directly between my tights, I hated how much power he had over my body. I could barely see the group of fellas, the majority of my sight were disturbed by a wide back of a certain vampire.

-"She...she pushed one of our friends!"

One of them muster the courage to say and I must admit I was a bit impressed. I don't know what made him believed it was a good idea to still look for a fight but he was going to deeply regret it. Gurgled sounds arose and I had to get on the tip-off my toes to see that now a muscular hand was wrapping tightly the neck, of what I presumed must have been the one who spoke. My mind wandered for a second, and let me see for a brief moment how his hand would look if it were to wrap around my neck. I hold the blush that was starting to spread on my cheeks and kept my composure.

Instinctively my hand found the wooden stake hold by my leather belt. My finger grasped it tightly as I was pondering how much of a good opportunity this moment was. Right now he was at my mercy and I could easily stab him, however, this little stunt of his had attracted the attention of most people around us. It would be too dangerous, too many witnesses. My grip on the stake loosened as I relaxed a bit more.

I could see his muscles roll under the thin layer of clothes hiding his body. I had to hold myself to not reach for his back. The guilt I was feeling for being attracted to him must be as strong as the buttons holding his shirts. One of the biggest mystery I encountered since I started chasing Jerry was how his button's shirt never burst through the force his body was applying on them.

The gurgling sound was becoming weaker by the second and I took it as my cue to pass on Jerry's side and very lightly press my fingers on his wrist. To some, it had none effect on the man, but I knew where to look. I could see the muscles of his jaws tensed, and the light that left his eyes come back. I brushed his skin three seconds...no not even one, but it was enough for him to release the poor fool from his grip. The man tripped on nothing and fell to the ground, he fought hard to get oxygen back in his body. His "buddies" were surrounding him, wanting to help their friend, but not knowing how to.

-"Well, I think we're done here."

Jerry spoke before facing me. I froze on the spot. I suddenly realized how bloated my confidence was. In no way was I ready to kill him. I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes, I found more than enough to look at the ground and his shoes. I felt him move before seeing him getting closer. His hands were barely brushing my arms, going slowly from the tips of my fingers to my shoulders. When they arrived at their destinations he firmly grasped them. He leaned into my chest his lips getting closer and closer to the side of my face, and before I knew it he was whispering,

-"I missed you…",

The heat burnt quickly my cheeks and I jerked my head up. For the first time in almost 6 months, I was confronted with his dark eyes, two obsidian balls. I was drowning in them, one of the many advantages of being a vampire. If you looked long enough into the eyes of your prey, their mind starts to become weak, filled with a thick fog. It was one of his favorite tricks. But after our many encounters, I knew how to deal with that situation. Electricity shock, not a strong one of course. I had easily found online an electric collar for small dogs, it was made to train them to stop barking. It was now resting on my wrist, and after a tap on my phone, I was back to earth and not losing myself in his eyes.

-"Really y/n? The collar, again? Don't you think it's a bit too much"

His voice was like honey, dripping slowly into my ears. He grabbed my wrist firmly, moving slightly the leather band. Underneath my skin was starting to scar due to the continuous use of it. His expression became dark and before I could protest he had ripped it off. After throwing it somewhere on the floor, he leaned again. This time, not to my ears but my face. He seemed mad. His grasp around my wrist got a bit tighter, not enough to hurt me though.

-"Don't get a new one."

It was an order, would I execute it? Probably not, but this is a problem for later. Right now I was facing him completely defenseless against his eyes trick. I quickly removed my wrist from his hand and turned around. I started to walk between the mass of people. I had to go to some places where I could fight him without worrying about others. It took me only a minute to find the fire exit. I could feel his presence behind, stalking me, looking at each of my movements. I opened the door. People around were dancing and not paying attention. I was welcomed outside by the cold wind and heavy humidity of the night. It was a beautiful night, free of clouds however I didn't have time to appreciate the stars. I got in position immediately. Against the wall, my stake into my hand, waiting.

As soon as the door opened again, I took my chance and attacked. I moved as quickly as I could targeting the heart. Attacking quickly and out of the blue worked a few times before, but not this one. I didn't understand what had happened until his lips were on mine. My body had been almost thrown on the brick wall that was on my right side. I couldn't move, his left hand was holding tightly both of my wrists. Wait a minute...His lips are on mine! A choked moan escaped my throat and I felt him smile. He broke the kiss and whispered as he started to make his way towards my neck.

-"y/n...you're really cute..."

-"Go fuck yourself!", was the only comeback that came to my mind.

He chuckled deeply and exhaled before answering,

-"Fuck me yourself, coward..."

He hadn't punched me, but I could feel the air choked out of me. His lips were now pressing light kisses against my warm skin. I can't panic...not now. Jerry had bitten me once before...something I wasn't excited to remember. But I needed him to feel like he had already won, have him let his guard down. So I shut up and didn't try to break free from his grips. His body was cold against mine but I didn't care. What made me truly weak was his scent. He had this strong and yet sweet scent that was driving me crazy. If I could, I would just spend hours in his arms, breathing how good he smelled. His right hand was running along my tight, gently pressuring the side of my stomach, continuing further, caressing my arms, and joined the second one, holding my wrists. He looked up again his eyes completely dark.

-"y/n..."

His voice sent a shiver all over my body. The freezing night suddenly felt a lot less cold. A hungry fire was burning between my tights and I was pressing them as hard as I could. Another great thing that vampires have, is an accentuated ability to smell. He was quickly going to realize how my body was responding to him if he hadn't already. Out of the blue, he offered me his sweetest smile, and I melted away. How could he be so attractive, I couldn't believe that it's been years since I started to chase him…and…and what was I doing here again? What was I trying to accomplish already? He looks so nice, gosh his eyes are so beautiful and so dark. My mind felt funny, suddenly everything felt funny and I couldn't hold my laughter. Jerry seemed a bit surprised at first but he joined in. However, his laughter was way sexier than mine. He released my wrists not long after we both calmed down and he took a step back. As he opened his arms he said,

-"y/n, come here"

And I obeyed, how could I not? I could not obey him. However, as I walked towards him something didn't felt right. Something was scratching my back…what was it? Ah yes, it's my wooden stake! Wait…why do have I a stake already?

And then I remembered something that I hated so much. I was here to kill Jerry. I didn't stop and continued to walk to him as if nothing happened, but with each step, I could feel my heart tightened. Before I was completely in his arms, I pressed my whole weight against the wooden weapon, and as his arms move to wrap me, I pushed as strong as I could. The stake entered his body without even resisting. His smile disappeared in an instant when he understood what had happened. He grabbed that stake with both of his hands and swiftly jump way behind in the alley. He immediately went behind one of the massive metallic bins. I couldn't see him anymore, but I certainly could hear him. Deafening snarl sounds were echoing against the red walls. I could see his shadow on the ground, he didn't look like a human anymore. I was immobile, tears building up in my eyes. Soon the snarling changed into laughter, a dark and horrible one.

-"y/n...y/n...what am I going to do with you?"

He appeared from behind the bin as nothing happened, only the massive bloodstain on his shirt was betraying the events of this evening. He jiggled the stake between his fingers before breaking it with the sheer force of his hand. An enraged smile was dancing on his lips, that he bit a few times before he said

-"You missed...y/n...again..."

He started to move forward me, and he probably wanted to use his inhuman speed but he couldn't. I could see in his eyes the realization. Suddenly his legs gave out and he fell to the ground. He wanted to speak but by now it was impossible.

-"Propofol" I spoke…"usually used to make people sleep before operations. It's the most powerful one I could get my hand on. I drenched the stake in it. Though it won't make you pass out, you're not going to be able to move for a few hours..."

I approached him, tears now slowly running on my cheeks.

"Do you know how hard it was for me to find it? This drug is so complicated to get! Nobody gets high on it, so dealers don't have it, and pharmacies don't carry it, because only hospitals use it. I hope you appreciate how much effort I put it in."

I was standing above him, trembling. I got on my knees and pulled up the end of my pant underneath it, leather bands were holding a smaller stake. I grabbed it and placed it on his abdomen. Just above his heart.

-"This is my win..."

I just had to press...but I couldn't my arms were trembling and I couldn't see properly due to how much I was crying by now. I took the stake off, breath in and out for a minute, and put it back on his body. My arms were still a mess.

-"Fuck...FUCK!"

I got up, still holding tight my weapon. I turned around.

-"You killed my family...You didn't even care that they might have dreams, things they wanted to accomplish in the future, you just took their lives...So why...why...WHY CAN'T I TAKE YOURS!"

I spun around and kneeled next to him once again. I watched him for a few seconds before brushing a few hairs from his face. His eyes were following my every movement. I finally looked up and admired the stary skies. I stayed like that for a minute or two, slowly rocked back and forth by the sound of the city at night. I faced him again, but this time I was smiling.

-"I can't do it...I can't kill you."

My tears were now falling on his cheeks.

-"But I'm tired... so fucking tired of our little game of "hide and seek". These last 5 years the only thing I could think of was revenge, to kill you...but little by little I realized that I was missing out so much. Girls of my age were talking about their crush and going shopping while I was sharpening my stakes... I want a normal life. So... I'm putting an end to our game. You can do whatever you want, kill whoever you want. I'm going to go experience what I've been missing out..."

I couldn't help it, he seemed hopeless in this position. I leaned and stole a kiss, a

gentle one.

-"I guess this a farewell..."

I took his features, engraved them in my memory, one last time. I got up and threw the stake next to the bins.

-"See you never!"

As I got out of the alley cold wind brushed my face. I felt freed from such a heavyweight. I was going to be able to do whatever I wanted now. I couldn't hold a little yelp of happiness before starting to walk.
