"Since the very moment I have laid my eyes on you, I couldn't look away."

Chapter two - First Introductions

I dreamt about him last night. I believe we stood in our church. It was day time and the sun was bright. The glitter like patterns that was on the glass wall of the front of the church was radiating golden light, like nothing I have ever laid my eyes on. And he, Godric, stood at the top of the three steps, where Steve usually stands when he preaches. I wanted to speak, to ask him what he was doing there. And tell him, he should hide, take cover from the sun before he burned, but I couldn't, my lips just couldn't move. He slowly raised his hand motioning me toward him, calling me to him. I couldn't do anything but gaze at the beautiful sight in front of me. I slowly worked my legs and walked to him. As I reached him, I raised my hand to touch his pale, soft looking hand, but I was disturbed by the loud beeping sounds of my alarm clock.

Today was Sunday, and I had to wake up early for church. I slowly dragged myself to take a shower, washing myself in cold water, so I could feel awake and refreshed. Every Sunday, our church has a program, and today was an exciting one, at least for Steve since he got the vampire he wanted. I pulled on a soft yellow sundress and sat on a chair that was in front of my dresser, where on top, it held my jewelries and make up. I looked up at myself as I got ready. The only noticeable feature in my face was my eyes, which was emerald green with flickers of lighter green here and there. I brushed my long blonde hair back and stood up, walking toward my closet. I pulled out my church choir gown; it was silky white with the V in the front golden and huge cross on the back.

I have been the lead singer of our church choir since I was thirteen. I remember when Steve first heard me sing; he said I was a little girl with a big voice. And I have been with the choir ever since. In fact that was how Sarah and Steve met, through me. Even though Sarah had been a member of this church, Steve never approached her. I usually had to stay late at the church, and Sarah had to stay with me too since she was my ride home. When Steve heard about our sister, he talked to her to give his remorse. Well, we all know how that conversation turned out.

I walked out of my room with my gown dripped on my shoulders and the zipper undone. Before even I was half way down the stairs, I could smell the eggs and fresh cooked bacon. I could also hear Sarah's loud giggles to something Steve said. I walked into the kitchen and took my place at the table. Steve and Sarah exchanged a look, before the pastor turned toward me.

"Today is an exciting day…today is the day we're announcing The Lockdown." Steve proclaimed proud. My sister squeaked happily, with a large gleaming smile on her face and clapping her hands. "Yay!" I said but the sarcasm in my voice seemed to go unnoticed. The Lockdown was part of Steve's plan for the detained vampire. By the name of the Fellowship of the Sun, they were going to perform a ritual execution. All the church members were going to be locked inside the church and would pray all night, and at dawn they were going to expose Godric to sunlight. "So honey, I want you to blow them with your voice today, alright." My sister said happily coming toward me to give me a hug. I said nothing but nodded my head yes.

I concentrated on my breakfast for the rest of their conversation. They seemed to be planning on their trip to Louisiana, which they would be leaving tomorrow. Steve had some sort of church conference and interview there. I was glad they don't drag me to their trips; I usually stayed in the house with the maid for what ever days they may be gone. As there conversation got deeper, something caught my attention. It was what Steve said, on how the vampire willingly handed himself in. "yep, he didn't even put up a fight when they chained him." Steve said shaking his head. I was surprised by this information, why would a vampire just hand himself in? I was very curious to find out, to know what was going on in that intriguing vampire's head.

After breakfast was done, we all got what we needed and walked out toward the car. The drive to the church was short since we lived so close. Once we got there Steve and Sarah started walking around and saying hello to people. I walked through the church toward the backstage to get the choir ready. About twenty minutes after, everyone sat neatly in the seats while Steve started his preaching. I sat in the corner not listening much. All he talked about was how vampires were evil, and that they belonged to the devil. "Yes, yes my good people, we have to send the devil's minion back to where they came from. That's what our lord would want, for us to stand up, for us to fight… and we, my good people are the light." Steve yelled loudly and passionately. The crowed shouted hallelujah, and cheered together. I sat there watching, the thought of how things have changed so much with this whole anti-vampires thing. I always have been a church person because that's how my mother raised me to be, she raised me by reading the bible and teaching me the true messages of god. But this, this was not what churches were about. The lord teaches about accepting people for who they are, not judging, but seeing them for their true colors, and it was the church's job to be an example. After Steve announced The Lockdown, it was my turn to sing with the choir. My sister sat in front watching me, with a big proud smile pasted on her face.

When everything was done, Steve and Sarah stood at the front gate, wishing a good day to the people, and talking to young candidates that wanted to join the fellowship of the sun. I slowly sneaked around in the back, behind the backstage toward the basement. I was surprised when I got down the stairs, the guy; Gabe was sitting in a chair outside some door. He had earphones in his ears while holding an iPod with his left hand. When he saw me walking toward him, he pulled out the earphones and got up.

"What can I do for you Miss Newlin?" he said getting up from his seat. I hate it when some people called me that. I was not a Newlin, and I would never want to be. But since Steve and Sarah were my legal guardians, some of the people around the church called me that and over time, it seemed to stick.

I put on a fake smile and walked toward him, "your Gabe right?" He nodded his head with a smile, but something about him just didn't feel right to me.

"Steve kind of made me in charge of our prisoner here." I made a face when the word 'prisoner' left my lips, so he would believe me. "You know, to check up on him and stuff, which also will give you a little break to loosen up your legs. Poor you, you must be tired sitting here." I said coming even closer, my face disguised in a worry for him.

"You're right; I sure could use a break. Maybe get something to drink." He said stretching his arms up. "Be right back, little' lady" was the last thing he said before walking pass me.

I slowly opened the door where the prisoner vampire was kept. The first thing I noticed was the enormous cage; it took more than half of the room. It was square shaped and the bars were about two inch thick with enough space in between to stick my head in. The cage door was in the front and the silver lock on it was gigantic. I didn't think the bottom of the cage was made out of silver since it looked dark and rough. The young looking vampire sat right in the middle of the cage, his legs crossed like he was meditating.

He was dressed in the same white button up t-shirt with matching white pants. His eyes were closed; I thought he was sleeping since vampires sleep at day time. The silver chain that was dripped around his neck last night was gone, but the one that was binding his hands was still there, even though his hands were now fastened to the front, the burning gash was still there.

"Oh my god, what are they doing to you?" I spoke, my voice coming out louder than I expected. The prisoner eyes shot open and looked straight to my direction. I was once again caught off guard by the intensity of his beautiful eyes. He didn't say a word except stared at me, so I decided to say something.

"Hi… hmm… I'm Anna, well Annabel really, I'm Sarah Newlin's sister…and you must be Godric… I know we haven't been introduced properly but I wa—" my awkward nervous babble was cut short when he spoke.

"You were singing, were you not?" He asked his voice soft. I felt shudder ran through me. His voice had a ring to it, and it did things to my body I did not expect.

"Haha… oh so you heard the choir song? …well of course you did…Yeah I'm the lead singer." I said slightly tongue-tied, showing him my uniform that I still had on with the zipper opened all the way down, exposing my sundress. I didn't think he could hear the songs, but his prison was right underneath the church, and with the vampires' super hearing ability, I'm sure he heard more than that.

He looked at me for a second before opening his mouth, "it was beautiful." He spoke gently again, his eyes never leaving my face. I could feel my face turn red and my cheeks heating up. He must have noticed me blushing because he had this amused look in his eyes. I looked down blushing even more, knowing that he caught it. The awkward silence was interrupted by Gabe as he knocked on the door and let me know he was back.

"I will come and visit you tonight, if that's ok?" I asked walking backwards toward the door. He didn't say anything except for nodding his head 'yes' with unnoticeable up lifting of his lips. I waved my hand as I walked out, but not before one last glimpse at his silver hand cuff.
