Chapter Three

"You were with her again. Weren't you?" Sonny demanded as he glared at Jason.

"Who?" Jason asked even though he knew who Sonny was referring to.

"That girl. That human." Sonny said with anger.

"Elizabeth." Jason said unfazed by Sonny's questions.

"So you were with her. How long are you going to drag this out? This isn't like you." Sonny said as he continued to watch Jason.

"I know. Elizabeth she... she's different. We're friends." Jason tried to explain.

"So what happened?" Sonny asked, a little shocked by Jason's obvious feelings for this girl.

"Nothing." Jason said as he caught Sonny's disbelieving look. "I took her for a ride on my bike. We talked for awhile. Then I drove her home end of story."

'Liar.' The beast taunted. 'She threw herself at us.'

"That's it?" Sonny demanded then continued as Jason just nodded. "I hope you haven't told her."

""Of course not." Jason replied incredulously.

"Good. Jason, maybe you should just leave her alone. For whatever reason you have no interest in her as a meal. There's nothing you can give her. Why risk hurting her or worse?" Sonny warned sternly.

"I've never felt like this. She trusts me and I..." Jason tried to explain even though he wasn't sure he understood it himself. 'You want her. We both do.' The beast chuckled.

"Jason there are three ways this can end. You know that. Do you want to end her life?" Sonny asked in exasperation.

"No." Jason said pained by the thought.

"Then let her go. Before you lose control and the choice is made for you." Sonny replied as though the matter was decided and the discussion closed.

Jason shook his head as Sonny's words replayed over and over in his mind . His friend had a point and he knew it, he just couldn't seem to make himself accept it.. There was no way Jason could deny it. If Elizabeth learned what he was her death would be his only option. Could he really end her life? Could he even consider bringing her into his world? Images of them together filled his mind. He had to see her.

'You're pathetic.' The breast growled. 'She could be ours. It would be so easy to just take her.' The beast inside taunted.

Jason watched as Elizabeth left work. He had spent the last twenty-four hours fighting with himself. He couldn't explain what drew him to her. Or why he couldn't stay away. Only that he had to see her. Jason needed to make certain she was safe.

Halfway to her building Jason noticed someone following her. The beast snarled in his head. 'Ours.' Jason was shock by the possessive tone. He didn't know how to feel about that but he couldn't worry about that now. For now all that mattered was keeping her safe and finding out who was following her Jason thought to himself as followed quietly behind the duo.

'Who was that man and what did he want Elizabeth?' Jason thought to himself as he watched as Elizabeth stopped and looked behind her almost as if she could sense that someone was following her. Not seeing anyone Elizabeth shook her head and then opened the door to her building and walked inside. Just as the man following Elizabeth was about to turn the doorknob he felt a hand clamp down on his shoulder. "Who are you and why are you following Elizabeth?" Jason demanded with a growl.

The young man froze at the sound of Jason's voice. It was obvious he didn't know he was being followed. "I could ask the same about you." the man gulped as he looked up at Jason.

Jason spun the man around and pinned him against the wall. "Who I am is none of your business. Now why were you following Elizabeth." Jason snarled as he glared at the other man.

"We're friends. I just wanted to make sure she got home okay." he replied as he looked back at Jason.

'Liar.' The beast snapped. "Funny she's never mentioned you." Jason taunted.

"Maybe she thought it was none of your business. Elizabeth is a very private person." The little punk sneered unaware he was about to piss of the wrong person.

"Who are you?" Jason demanded with a growl. "And why are you following her and then hiding when she turns around?"

"Her boyfriend. Lucky Spencer. We've been dating for nearly a year." Lucky retorted with a smirk.

Jason's control snapped. He knew there was some truth in what he was being told. Jason just didn't know how much. 'How dare this punk lie to us? Make him pay.' Jason swung his fist connecting with Lucky's face.

"What in the fuck?" Lucky yelled. "Why the hell did you hit me?" he asked as he wiped the blood from his bleeding nose.

"Stay away from Elizabeth or next time I won't stop with your nose." Jason warned with an anger so intense that even he didn't understand where it was coming from.

"Does Elizabeth know what a psycho you are?" Lucky demanded as he glared at Jason.

"Does Elizabeth know you follow her?" Jason replied as he glared right back. Jason watched as his eyes widened with fear. "Stay away." He warned with a growl. His eyes shifted as the beast demanded to be let out.

"What are you?" Lucky asked starting to fear the man in front of him. Then suddenly Lucky pulled himself up tall thinking 'I'm Lucky Spencer and I do as I please, when I please and with who I please. Elizabeth is mine and I am not about to let this man intimidate me in the least.'

Jason gabbed the young man's throat. "That's none of your concern and neither is Elizabeth. I better never see you again. Do you understand me boy?" Jason growled, jaw clinched in anger.

A soft whimper followed by the sound of liquid hitting the floor was his only answer. The beast chuckled. 'Stupid boy. He has no idea who he's dealing with.' Jason dropped him unceremoniously. Lucky hurried quickly away.

Jason opened the door to Elizabeth's building. He wanted some answers and he wanted them now. And he damn sure wasn't leaving until he had them.
