" So can I ask you how you found out what I am?" Jerry asked as they climbed into his truck. She had changed her clothes into the jeans he wanted her to wear and a white, tight tank top. He could see the straps of her black bra and he liked it. He liked how her shirt fit against her slender frame. She was hot and he was excited to show her off.

" Well, it actually happen by accident. I had just pulled my car into my driveway when I heard your door close. I knew you had moved in but I hadn't seen what you looked like so I looked into my mirror but I didn't see anything. So I turned and saw you standing in your driveway. I looked back to the mirror than at you." Winter said. He was backing out of her driveway and she was looking out her window.

" And I had no reflection." Jerry filled in.

" Right." Winter started again as she looked at him. " So I got online and started looking around. Everything else just fell into place I guess."

" And you weren't scared to come to my house?" He asked.

" No." She said. She leaned back into his passenger seat and watched as the world went by.

" Guess I wasn't as careful as I thought I was." He said.

" So why are we going out?" She asked. Jerry grinned as he drove.

" I'm scouting around. I'm going to build a hive and I want to see what's out there." He said. Winter shook her head.

" I'm so glad I'm going to be dead before you start building your Vampiric empire" She said. Jerry surprised them both when he started laughing.

" My vampiric empire?" He asked. Winter smiled as she looked at him.

" Well that's what you want to do, right? I mean, that's really what you are making, an empire." She said. Jerry nodded as he grinned.

" I hadn't thought about it like that but I guess you're right." He said.

" So let me ask you something, once you have your empire of little vampire minions, what are you going to do?" She asked. Jerry's grin spread when she said " Minions".

" Well, me and my ' little vampire minions' are going to take over the world." He said. Winter frowned and shook her head at him.

" That's not going to work." She said, making him glance at her.

" Now how do you know that?" He snapped.

" Because." She sat up and turned in her seat so she was facing him more. " Haven't you seen the movie Daybreakers? The vampires took over the world but killed so many humans or made so many vampires, that they ended up running out of blood and going insane." She said. Jerry pursed his lips together as he thought about what she said. " What you need to do is keep your hive small and contained. No one but you and who ever you choose get to change someone. And vamps should only be allowed to kill so many humans a night or a week so the population doesn't die out. Without humans what will you eat?" He nodded.

" You sure you don't want me to change you? You'd make a good vampire." He said. " I hadn't thought about that." She smiled and leaned back as she turned to look out his window again.

" You should go over all your plans with me. Maybe I can help you out."

" Isn't that a betrayal of your race?" He asked, making Winter shrug.

" What does it matter? I'm not going to be a part of them soon. None of them have ever treated me very nicely anyway." She said softly.

" I'd like to see this movie, this Daybreakers." He said. " Do you own it?"

" Yep. I love Ethan Hawke." She said.,

" We are watching it tomorrow night. Maybe I will learn something." Jerry said as they drove down the highway.

" Yeah. It's always a good idea to make your plans for global domination from a movie." She said. Jerry didn't say anything for a few minutes before he burst into laughter so loud, it made her smile and join in.

" You're a very funny girl, Winter. You know that? We should have been talking sooner." He said.

As soon as she walked around his truck, Jerry took a hold of her elbow. He pulled her close to him and leaned down to whisper for her to stay close. She was only 5ft 1in and he was 6 ft tall so he had to lean pretty far down to whisper to her. He changed positions when he stood up right. He let his right arm hang across her shoulders casually as he pulled her against him.

They found a table away from the dance floor and he decided to buy them some drinks. She told him to surprise her with the drink choice and he smiled. When she saw him walk away she decided to try out their blood bond. He had told her he could find her anyway and she wanted to know if it was true. The club was crowd as she moved through it. She knew there was no way he could see her. She picked a table that was behind a large crowd of people and sat down. She was feeling nervous and excited to see if he could find her. She only had to wait ten minutes.

" Why did you move?" Jerry's asked when he set the drink down in front of her. Winter jumped and laughed, making him smile.

" I wanted to know if you could really find me." She said when he slipped in next to her. His arms came to rest against the table.

" I told you I could. I didn't even have to look to know you moved. I felt your excitement spike and knew you were up to something." He said as they looked at each other. She took a hold of her cup and looked at the red drink inside it.

" So what is this?" She asked. Jerry sat back and brought his beer to his lips.

" A Bloody Mary." He said. She shook her head, making him drop his arm slightly. " What?"

" You brought me a Bloody Mary." She said.

" Yeah, so?" Jerry asked.

" You don't see the irony in that?" Winter asked. A slow smile started over his lips. He looked away and brought his beer to his lips.

" Funny girl." He said before he took a drink. Winter smiled and picked up her drink.

" I'm just pointing things out." She said.

Jerry and Winter were taking in the scene ahead of them. They were watching people dance to the loud, fast paced music. His head was bobbing when she asked him if he wanted anything else to drink. She had finished up hers and was going to get another one. Jerry moved to give her money but she had stopped him, saying it was her turn to buy the drinks. Jerry smiled and placed his order then watched her walk away.

She had only been gone 5 minutes when he felt annoyance seep down their line. He frowned and stood up, his eyes finding her in the crowd right away. She was standing by the bar, facing a guy. She was shaking her head as she glared at him. Jerry narrowed his eyes as her annoyance turned to anger. The guy took a hold of her arm but Winter shook his off, picked up their drinks and hurried away. The guy was calling after her so she turned around and flicked him off. Jerry heard the guy call out a name to her. Jerry slowly sank back into his chair. He leaned forward, putting his arms on the table again.

" Trouble, Love?" Jerry asked when she reached him. She shook her head as she handed him the beer.

" It was nothing. Just some drunk guy that got to touchy for me." She said. She sat down and took a drink from her vodka and coke.

" He touched you?" He asked. She shrugged her shoulders at him.

" He grabbed my ass but I handled it." She said. Jerry felt a growl escape him as his eyes swept through the crowd again. No man touched what belonged to him. He spotted the guy headed towards the restrooms.

" Will you excuse me for a second, Love?" He asked. He stood up and patted her shoulder before he walked away.

XXXXXX

Jerry was waiting in the dark hallway by the bathroom, watching the guy as he came towards him. Jerry grinned and laughed to himself. He started forward, making sure to hit the guy in the shoulder.

" Watch it, dick." The guy spit out. Jerry kept his grin in place.

" Oh sorry, guy. I was distracted. You see that girl over there?" Jerry pointed the Winter who was staring into her cup. The guy turned around and laughed.

" Yeah, good luck with that. She's a bitch." He said. Jerry suddenly grabbed him by the back of the neck and yanked him into the shadows without anyone seeing them. He grabbed the man by the throat and held him against the wall as he leaned into him.

" That is mine." Jerry hissed, feeling his fangs slip into place. The man was struggling to breath. His hands came to Jerry's wrists. " No humans touch what belongs to me. You upset her and when she is upset, I am upset." The man's eyes went wide when he noticed Jerry's fangs. Jerry made sure to smile wide. " You made a costly mistake."

He twitched his wrist slightly, breaking the man's neck. He sank his teeth into the dead man's neck and sucked hard, drinking quickly before the blood went cold. The man wouldn't turn. Only those who shared his blood would turn. He pulled his head up and retracted his fangs quickly. He dropped the man and sighed with a grin. He looked back to Winter then sped through the crowd unseen.

" Time to go, Love." He said as he took a hold of her elbow. " Down the drink and let's go." Winter looked confused but did as he asked. She let him pull her up and lead her to the exit. They had just reached the outside when the first of the screams started.
