Chapter 12:

||Melissa's POV||: I wake up to see a blanket covered over me. I'm in Max's room... I feel a little hazy but I can manage! I then see at my side, Max, who is still asleep. His lips are up at my neck, right next to my wound bite.

I can feel him breathing on me. I turn around and see that he was holding my hand all along. I close my eyes and just pretend to sleep.

I then hear his voice say, "I know you're awake! You first slept in the living room but then I carried you to my bedroom since Alex started getting creeped out watching tv while we're sleeping right next to her!" I open my eyes once again and watch his eyes slowly open as well. He squints and wrinkles his nose, giving me a funny face.

I giggle and try to get up. Then, I feel his hand grab my arm and pull me back next to him on the bed. I kiss him and he finally lets go. He said, "Good morning, vampire!" He then gives me a wink and I just giggle, saying, "Good morning, my wizard!"

I walk to the full-body mirror and see that I can't see my own reflection. I then ask Max, "Is my bite okay?"

Max walks to me and lifts up my hair. He brushes it away, feeling the softness. He looks at it and said, "Yeah you're fine!"

I then just sit down on the bed and I watch him chck himself out on the mirror. He stretches, making his shirt go up and his abs visible. Six pack, I think to myself, nice... He then gives an air kiss to himself and unveils his muscles.

I laugh and say, "You're such a conceited boy!" He turns around and lifts me in the air. My legs wrap around him and he holds me by the mid thighs. He kisses me so passionately. I pull away and smile. "At least I'm strong and not as limp as Justin!" He said. "I heard that!" Justin calls from his room.

He then carries me around onto his back, giving me a piggyback ride, and takes me downstairs. He acts as if he was a plane, flying through the sky. I squeal of excitement, feeling like I'm on a rollercoaster! He runs around the house and goes in circles everywhere.

He then lays me on the couch and he ends up sitting on top of me. He then rolls over and brings me toward him. Soon enough, I'm laid on top of him.

He then reaches into his pocket and said, "This must be yours!" My lucky bracelet, I think, I've been looking all over for that! He slips it on my wrist and it still shines that golden reflection upon my face.

I tangle my fingers through his hair until I hear footsteps coming from upstairs. I immediately roll next to Max and say, "Oh hi, Alex!"

She jumps and says, "Heyo..." She sees me next Max, which makes her want to throw up I bet. I get off of the bed and walk toward her, "Anywhoo, how is the whole vampire thingy?" I shrug and say, "I guess it's ok but there's not much of the whole, 'i hate sun' kind of thing going on! You know, I'm supposed to hate the sun?"

Alex shakes her head and said, "No that depends on distance between you and the sun! If the sun is like right above the area of New York and around it, than you have to hide! The sun is all the way in California right now!"

I nod my head and thought, Oh, I never knew that!

She then said, "Holly came by last night, which was extremely creepy! You should've seen her just staring at me like an apple-head doll through the window," She then takes out a foam cup container from the kitchen drawer," She told me to give you this blood!"

I give her an odd look. I'm not so used to this whole vampire stuff yet.

I hold the foam container and drink some through the straw. Max gives me a disgusting look and asks, "How does it taste?"

I pause, letting myself taste the red thick liquid. I answer, "Not bad! I think it's actually pretty good."

Alex makes a sour face and just pours herself a glass of milk.

Justin then comes downstairs and a door knocks. He yelled, "I'll get it!" He walks toward the door and opens it. There standing was Juliet, all dressed up for a nice day, even though it's just 7 am in the morning.

She comes in and asks me, "Hey, Melissa! Is it going alright?" I nod my head and shake the foam cup in my hand. Juliet gives me a thumbs up and said, "Hey, you can spread your wings for now, since it's 7 am, vampire rush hour!"

I shrug and just walk to the terrace. In less than a few seconds, I'm already opening the door. "Super speed.." I whisper to myself.

Max comments, "My girlfriend is amazing!" He runs and hugs me. He kisses me on the cheek and follows me outside. I smile and look to Juliet.

She says, "Ok, calm down and concentrate. Spread your arms out and think of your wings." Ohkay, I think to myself.

I lay out my arms, spread wide apart and close my eyes. I inhale and exhale and just think of myself, trying to picture my wings on my mind.

All of a sudden, I feel something growing against my skin. A set of black bat wings is shown and I open my mouth in awe. Max holds my hand and asks, "May I ride?"

I nod my head and begin to get nervous. I then buckle my knees by how much weight he weighs. I ask him, "Man, how much do you eat?"

Juliet then spreads her wings and says, "I'll catch you just in case!" She then ducks and starts flying. I then fall forward and spread my wings immediately. I glide upon the air and feel the wind in my face.

"Oh my gosh," I exclaim, "This is so awesome!" I can hear Max scream in excitement. This is just like a rollercoaster, except I'm making the tracks.

I then warn Max, "Hold on! Imma try this!" He grips onto me and I start swirling in circles to above the clouds. The fog in my face is just like feeling free, walking to heaven.

Max exclaims, "This is so awesome! Way better than Cony Island!" I giggle and stop in the middle of the sky, still flapping my wings.

I smile and kiss his cheek. I then fly down and landed back on the terrace.

I make my wings disappear and I'm out of breathe.

I actually felt independent for once, just how I wanted it to be! This life is the life I have been so longly asking for for a long period of time! Now, my dream has come true.

||Max's POV||: I'm glad that Melissa is like this! She has now experienced new freedom, I can tell by her eyes. They're beautiful, especially when they light up like now. Everything about her is beautiful, no matter how many mishaps it has been through.

I look at Melissa and see her promise ring is still on. I then hold her in my arms.

We make promises and break them. Sometimes we mend them but in other times, we just let it go to the end. But this promise, our promise, is something we can never forget.

The End... Maybe.
