A/U: HI again. So now we're getting to see some action. Hope you enjoi chapter two.

I awoke to the taps, now louder, behind my blinds. I figured the wind was blowing against a tree, and so, my worry vanished. I checked the clock across room, 1:27am. Remembering I had forgotten to turn on the dishwasher, I slid out of bed, walking through the hall, and into the kitchen.

Once fully loaded, I added the soap and started the cycle. Turning to the living room, ready for more sleep, I found I wasn't alone. I jumped back and grabbed a couple of knifes from the rack. Later I thought about how learning how to knife fight was a good idea after all. I'd have to remember to thank my step dad if I survived.

Assuming my guest had some weapon unseen, I ran through scenarios in my head. For a gun, continuing to move was key; and aiming my knives for his arms and hands. On the off chance he also had a blade as well; dodging the reflected light would be easier.

In the few minutes I took to think, my intruder never moved. Not in the normal sense, but creepily; not an inch swayed. Not a finger twitched. Neither bat of an eye, nor a hitch of breath could be found. Distracted from my self defense plans by my disturbing observation, I took note to more things about him.

What I first thought was reflected light of a weapon was the skin of his exposed forearm. Continuing down his limb, his hand captivated my attention. His fingers looked as if they curved into claws with nails filed to points which seemed deadly enough. That was all I needed.

A sob escaped my mouth before I realized I was crying. Having read enough on the supernatural for a lifetime, I was sure a vampire stood ten feet away. Praying that Stephanie Meyer's take on them had been right, I spoke what I hoped wouldn't be my last words, "Excuse me, but… Um… What color are your eyes?"

A smirk broke through his stone face, just high enough to touch his eyes; his beautiful topaz eyes. Even in the shadows, I saw the flecks of gold staring back at me. Relief washed over me in a tsunami as fresh sobs escaped my lips. I composed myself after a few moments while my confused brain started up again. Feeling somewhat safe, I turned away from the vampire to replace my useless weapons and asked, "If you're not here to kill me, what is your business in my house?"

Seemingly taken aback by my ease and lack of shock, he took a moment before answering, "My name is Jira and I've come to change you." I wasn't sure what he saw in my face, but my reaction caused him to smile. It was warm, for a vampire, and comforting. Seeing I was waiting for more, he continued, "How much do you know about my kind?"

"Well, assuming what Stephanie said is true; I know you don't drink human blood."

"Very good, that is true. Do you know that some of us have special…gifts?"

"Aye, Mind reading, future sight…" I let my voice trail off, trying to see where he was leading me. Then a thought crossed my mind, "what's your gift Jira?"

"Ooo, a fast thinker, aren't you? I see the heart's desire and fulfill them, if I can. Yours was to be special."

Having decided the minute he said "change", I asked, "Before we start, can I ask you to make more than one bite so it may only take two days?"

I stepped forward towards…nothing. There was no one standing in my living room. Had it all been a dream? From behind me, I heard a small whisper, "yes." It was the only warning I had for the slight pressure on my neck. Before the burning started, I climbed back into bed, awaiting the pain. It hit within seconds and as my throat inflamed from both sides, I passed out from the agony. Wonderful

It was the middle of the night when I woke up, yet still bright. Everything was crystal clear. Thinking about the awesome and slightly frightening dream I had had, I looked at the clock 3:23 am.

With only 4 hours sleep, I should've been exhausted, but I was wide awake. A blue light flickered to my left. The TV; must have forgotten to turn it off, though I don't remember it being on… it seemed like I'd skipped the hallway and was searching for the remote. I must be tired. I searched for the remote and found it already in someone's hands; Jira's hands.

I gasped realizing that I hadn't been dreaming, and then I felt it for the first time. The sudden pull of air raking across my throat, I was fiending.

"Thirsty?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Yes", I searched for the right words, "but I don't want to hurt anyone. Will you go with me on my first hunt?"

"It would be my pleasure."

Trying to encourage myself, "I won't ever kill a human. I will never drink human blood." It was time and I was as ready as I would ever be, so I opened the door and met the aromas head on… and slammed the door in their face as a low growl escaped from my chest.

"Everything ok? What, you see a monster?"

"No", I said with an eye roll. "It smells horrible out there."

Jira opened the door to investigate for himself, and then stared at me, mouth gaping. "This stinks to you?"

"Yeah… what is it?

"The scent of human blood repels a newborn vampire… Now I've seen everything." He pondered the reason for such a volatile action. "It makes no sense."

With my new expanded mind, the situation made perfectly logical sense to me. "Jira, I think I have a gift."

"What, super control?" he retorted with a laugh.

"No", I said, slightly irritated. "To change my own life. I said I wouldn't drink human blood and now I hate the smell." He saw my reasoning but said that could wait until later, now, it was time to hunt.

A/U: Yay, chapter 2 is done lol. So what do you guys think so far. What do you guys think of Jira, thinking about killing him off, or maybe just sending him away any thoughts? Next chapter will be up soon
