"That seemed easy." Cheyenne said getting some Orange juice.
"Why shouldnt it be you allready know my big secret I got nothing to hide."He replied sitting on the couch.
"True so start talking." She said sitting next to him.
He placed the throw blanket around here as he made sure she was aware and comfortable. Cheyenne sat there in amazement as he talked for hours about all that he had seen in his 170 years of living. He even included that he never once thought that love was for him because of the thing he was. During the whole story Cheyenne realized that she was much like him. No matter how old he was they both seemed like people looking at the world from the inside out. She never really gave much thought about love either. When she would get letter from people wanting love advice she couldnt take it seriously. Even though the man sitting next to her was making her feel things she couldnt explain or deal with and she wondered where is her place in his mind. Chris finshed his autobiography as she sat there.
"Must of been very lonely for you." She spoke in a whisper.
Chris turned his head away from here as he knew it was but only because he choose it to be. A small tear started to form and fell. He hopped she didnt see it. Hope failed as she placed her hand on his chin turning his head back to her. Wiping the tear off his face she looked at him.
"Vampires can cry huh?" She said taking her hand away.
"Usually they cant unless they're very old or they can be like me and have a human soul."
She looked at him slightly confused. He noticed and explained further.
"Full vampires when they're created they lose their emotions and their sense of mind. It takes time and alot of will to get them back if they choose to. The other way is if your maker cries during the turning. Emotions are powerful things for a vampire since we live to be so old but we never change as we watch the world change around us. It just gets to the point where its just no point to worry about them. Saddness is probably the most powerful for us since we're not supposed to feel that way since we've been given this gift or curse in my eyes to never die. So when the tears are shed it makes the birthing vampire have a human soul. We have our emotions and can function like normal mortals."
"Can you go outside during the day?" Cheyenne asked intrested.
"Not really I can deal with limited sunlight such as sunrise and sunset. If I were to walk out in the middle of the day it would kill me. I can eat normal food too which helps since it takes the place of blood which keeps me hidden from the world. I could go without it for days if needed to."
Cheyenne just sat there taking in all the information she was told. Of course she was trying to find some logical explaination which lead to nowhere. She paniced when she noticed the sun peaking through one of the windows. She quickly grabbed him and lead him into the still dark hallway.
"Shit now what are we going to do?" She exclaimed.
"Well you have a bed right?"
"Of course." She answered giving him a werid look. Yes she probably wouldnt mind sleeping with him but not now just no!
"Dont worry I'll rest under the bed." He said smiling.
He was the vampire so Cheyenne simply nodded and took faith that he knew what he was doing as she lead him to the bedroom. Chris got down on the ground and slid under the bed as Cheyenne just stood there as the whole scene played out. Realizing that she had a grown man, a vampire under her bed it just didnt make sense.
"Do you need a pillow or blanket?" She asked not knowing what else she could say.
"No I'm fine but I'd be better if you got some sleep your still not fully recovered yet." He said
"I will but I need to take the car to the repair shop after what you did to it."
"Just be careful." He repiled his eyes full of worry.
Cheyenne nodded and left the room.
Leaving her apartment she started her walk down 3 flights of stairs as she clearly needed the walk. Reaching the car lot she bumped in to a woman on her way to her car.
"Jesus I'm sorry." She said smiling.
The woman smiled as she continued to walk passed Cheyenne and then stopped.
"No harm done just as long as you get that vampire out of here if you want him to live." She said in a cold voice.
Cheyenne's eyes bluged as that one word echoed in her mind.
"vampire."
Turning around to face the woman she spoke.
"Lady I dont know you but vampires dont exist."
"Oh we both know you dont believe that I'm Jennifer, a very talented vampire hunter. I know hes here and I'll kill him and you if you try and get in my way." She warned turning around to face Cheyenne.
She just stood there giving her a look as if she wanted to say "go ahead and try it." After sending the woman her own warning Cheyenne walked towards her car and left.
Sitting in the repair shop she sat and thought. Was Chris still alive? The hunter said she could sense him. Cheyenne couldnt imagine walking into her own room finding Chris' body bloody and battered as he was killed in his sleep. Last night during his tale Chris tiptoed around the subject of lifemates. That also peaked in her mind. She didnt ask him since she didnt think he felt like explaining it. She wondered if lifemates are anything like soulmates and if they are could she possibly be his? Cheyenne never felt so strong about someone she couldnt explain it which made it worse. At first she thought he'd be a good friend like Linda and Kitty but now she wanted much more than that. Two hours later the car was fixed and was good as new. The repair guys didnt have any questions when she proved that she did own the car. Paying the fee she slid into her car and headed toward the apartment building completely terrified at what she would find.
