Hey everyone, I'm so happy. Eight reviews for chapter 6! Thanks for those reviews, I love that you guys love Anthony, he's amazing. Thank you to PlaidPanda543 for not exacting revenge on me for my evil cliffhangers, and being nice enough to review anyways. So far this is my favorite chapter so I really hope you guys like it. And, I've decided to start making these chapters longer so as regretful as it is, it's going to take me longer to update :( if I keep them the same length as they are now, I'll end up with waaaaayyy too many chapters. As always review and enjoy!

I watched as a male figure entered the room. He was shorter than Anthony and had that blond haired, blue eyed, pretty boy look about him. He was vampire, I could sense it. Great, I thought, another one.

Like Eric, he spoke to Anthony first, "when did she wake up?"

"A little while ago, I think she wants to leave, but everyone keeps interrupting her dramatic exit," Anthony said while I glared at him. He then looked at me and said, "This is my other brother Mark."

"Hi there," Mark said smiling at me. "Okay she looks pissed, I'm not messing with a hunter so I'm leaving now," he said to Anthony.

He walked out of the room just like Eric. I stared at Anthony for a little while, unsure of what to say. Since we were natural enemies an apology seemed out of place, but he was right, he did save my life.

"Thanks," I said, "I owe you one."

He seemed surprised at my apology. "No problem."

I sighed. Well there went my plans to wow everyone with my awesome hunting skills by killing him. I wouldn't be able to kill him without feeling guilty, which was on my part very irresponsible. If I went around feeling sorry for vamps, I would end up turning out to be the hunted instead of a hunter.

Before I turned to leave I asked, "Where are my knives?"

He left the room and came back five seconds later, "Can you blame us for being worried that you'd attack us?" He asked this as he handed me both of them.

I looked at him, knowing my answer. Of course it made sense that they would want to disarm me, but still something was nagging my brain. So instead of doing the sensible thing and getting out of there, I allowed my curiosity to take over.

"Why would you be worried about that? You guys are powerful, any one of you could have taken me," I didn't like admitting it out loud, but it was true, they were strong.

"We're pacifists," he said.

I snorted. "Yeah right, pacifist vampires? I've never heard that one before."

This time when I ridiculed the idea of him being good, he didn't get upset. "I told you that you weren't open minded."

I rolled my eyes, "whatever, I'm leaving now."

"See you in school," he said.

I looked up, curious again. I knew I shouldn't ask, but I did anyways. "Why do you go to school?" I took a breath after blurting it out. My doing things like this was what made my mom feel the need to place restrictions on my hunting. I could have been out of there so long ago, but instead what was I doing? I was making small talk with a bloodsucker.

"I want to," Anthony answered. "When you have an eternity on Earth, sometimes you get bored."

"So you go to school to cure your need for excitement?" I asked incredulously. "Vampires are sick."

He laughed. "Human teenagers are amusing, and usually at least ten of the 180 days are interesting, and since I have unlimited time, it's usually worth it."

I looked at him, all of a sudden interested. Questions were going through my head at rapid speed. That was very stupid. I shouldn't have been interested in a vampire in any way other than to kill him. He looked back at me with a patient expression on his face. I kept staring at him, aware of how hot he was.

As soon as I thought that thought, I decided to leave. Sure it was fine to know that vamps had good looks, but actually being attracted to one? That was completely and entirely out of the question. I wasn't attracted to him though, I was just interested in him. Whatever, it didn't matter, no hunter would be able to see the difference.

"I should probably go," I told him.

He looked a little disappointed. Or maybe that was just my imagination. "Alright, how are you getting home? Can you teleport?" he asked.

I wondered if he was really concerned about me. "I'll figure it out," I said.

"I can give you a ride," he offered. "You're probably too worn out to teleport anyways," he figured.

"No it's okay, I'll be fine," I assured him. I then realized something, "um, exactly where am I?" I asked. I wouldn't be able to get home if I had no clue where I was to begin with.

He chuckled, "I thought you were just going to figure everything out," he mocked me.

I held my head up high, "fine, I will,"

He laughed at me again, "We live about three blocks away from school on 22nd Street," he told me.

Damn, I thought. That was about eight miles away from my house. It wasn't an impossible walk, especially for a hunter, but it was long, and in my present condition, starved for food and still aching everywhere, I wouldn't be all that much better than a human. I could probably hitch a ride. Or once I got far enough away from Anthony I could call Ethan or Nicole. Not that I was in the mood to face any hunters in my condition. I didn't even have a story straight. There was no way I was going to tell them I got knocked out by a vampire and required another one to save me.

"Okay thanks," I told Anthony.

I think he saw my distress. "Maybe you should eat something," he said. "Let me take you to breakfast. We'll go to a nice open restaurant with plenty of witnesses so that I can be sure you won't shank me, and then after that you'll probably feel good enough to teleport back home to stop your boyfriend from worrying."

"For the last freaking time," I hissed, "HE IS NOT MY-"

"Your boyfriend," he cut me off. "Yeah, yeah, I know, I just like messing with you. You're really cute when you get upset."

I stood there fuming, partly because of him and partly because the back of my mind was analyzing the "you're really cute" part of his words, but mostly it was because of him. "And why are you afraid that I would shank you? I thought we'd already established how powerful you are. Doesn't that mean I'm the one who should be scared about getting attacked?"

"Well, I was trying to help your ego, but it doesn't work it you don't play along," he answered, seemingly oblivious to my rage.

"Oh my god," I said fed up with him already, "I'm not going anywhere with you."

"What? Wait, no," he momentarily seemed to panic, this reaction made me feel better, at least I was getting to him. "We'll go and I'll behave, I promise."

I stood trying to make up my mind. Why was he so worried about me? "Fine," I said.

All the while a voice of reason in my head was screaming at me, what's wrong with you? I was never an extraordinarily reasonable person, so I chose to ignore it. That most likely meant that I was an extraordinarily stupid person, but what could I do? He was taking me to a public place, so I'd be safe. No worries, I would just eat and get out of there.

So thanks to my stupidity, about ten minutes later, Anthony and I were heading to his car. I looked at the BMW, "expensive car," I said.

"I like to indulge," Anthony answered, "get in."

I walked to the passenger seat and hesitated for a split second – what if someone saw me – before getting in. We both sat there in silence while he drove. I stared out the window at the palm trees passing by. I kept glancing at the clock. It was ten o' clock. Ethan was probably going crazy, and what was I doing? I was going out on a breakfast date with a vampire. No, it wasn't a date, but I still felt guilty.

We reached an IHOP and got out of the car. We got a table and sat down while the waitress ogled at Anthony, probably amazed at his looks. Not that this bothered me, like I said, we we're on a date.

We didn't talk until after we ordered our food.

"Are you always this quiet?" Anthony asked.

"Yes," I said.

"Why haven't you asked me the things that are really bugging you?" Anthony wondered.

"What are you talking about?" At the moment the only thing bugging me was how close he was sitting next to me.

"You want to know why I don't hunt humans. You're also curious about why I saved you. You're probably really disappointed, I shattered the notion that all vampires are evil and disgusting, so now your whole world is different," he said.

"Well that's a bit dramatic," was my response. I didn't care to tell him that he was right. My world wasn't exactly different, but I had a lot to think about. If it was possible for vampires to be good, then why was the majority so evil?

The waitress came back with our food. I stared down at my pancakes and eggs feeling ravenous. I took a huge bite not really caring to be ladylike.

Anthony stared down at his own food, and I wondered, did vampires like regular human food? I'd never really observed one in a civilized setting so I didn't really know.

It didn't seem to bother him as put forkfuls of bacon into his mouth.

"Do you like that?" I asked.

"It tastes the same as it did when I was human, but it doesn't have the same, what's the word? Appeal? Yeah, appeal, at least not when there's something else that my taste buds prefer much more," he answered honestly.

We finished our meal, and despite my protest Anthony paid for it.

"Need anything else?" he asked as I stood up.

I shook my head no. "I'm going to teleport home," I said and then hesitated before adding an awkward, "thanks."

He smiled at me, "no problem."

I walked to the bathroom, made sure it was empty and then teleported back to my room. Once there, the first person I called was Ethan.

"Evy?" he answered the phone sounding hopeful.

"Hey Ethan," I said.

"Thank god. Do you know how worried I was? I spent all night looking for you. Why did you teleport like that? You're really lucky he didn't kill you," Ethan went off.

"Relax okay, it's fine. After I teleported, the vamp and I had a cat and mouse sort of chase. It took most of the night, but he's dead now," the lie came out effortlessly. I didn't even feel all that bad about it which was not a very good thing. "I'll see you later Ethan."

"Okay bye Evy, I guess I'll talk to you in school tomorrow," he said as he hung up.

I was nice this time, no evil cliffhanger.
