Sorry for taking my time with this chapter. I had a little issue with writers block. Anyway...enjoy :)

The interior of his car gave the appearance of being newly bought. The leather seats had been dampened by my jacket and dripping wet hair. He drove extremely fast and my heart felt like it would jump out of my chest, I had to hold onto the door handle and push my feet against the floor to keep myself in the seat; reminding him several times to keep both hands on the steering wheel. Although he didn't seem to think it was necessary. The car was moving steadily, so evenly that I didn't even feel the speed. He stared straight ahead out into the dark, dampened road. The car drove silently, it was almost ghostly.

"Who were you waiting for?" He asked suddenly

"Jake" I stated sullenly and he seemed to pick up on my mood and turned his head towards me to cast a sympathetic glance. I slouched back into the seat and we carried on driving in silence. He fiddled with the controls, turning the music up. A shiver involuntarily ran through my body and he smiled at me before turning on the heater at full blast. I listened to the music, relaxing against the comfy leather seating. It was difficult not to respond to the warmth and comfort of his car. A half hour past and I found him glancing at me with curious eyes. I smiled meekly and turned to stare out of the window as the blush crept onto my cheeks.

"Tell me about yourself" He asked suddenly.

"What do you wanna know?"

"Hmm" The lines in his forehead creased as he struggled to think of something sufficient to say. "What is your mother like?" The smile on his face was triumphant.

"She died when I was little, I don't really know anything about her apart from a picture and the stories my dad used to tell me when I was little" The look on his face turned from guilt to sorrow. He tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear in a gesture of apology and an involuntary gasp escaped my mouth at the coldness of his touch; his hand retreated from my face as quickly as a flash of lightening.

"How old are you Emily" Was the second question he decided to ask me, although the look on his face and the frustration in his voice told me that he didn't really like the new topic of conversation he had decided to sway to. The car came to a halt and I realised that I was home already. The rain had gotten heavier and faster until I could barely see the front door.

"I'm seventeen" I responded, a little confused.

"You don not act your age at all" His voice sounded disgusted and bewildered.

I smiled at him simply and stated "Maybe I don't but you don't speak like your in high school so I guess we're both a little pre-aged."

He grimaced and changed the subject quickly.

"What about your father?"

"He works a lot."
"You don not like him for it" He stated rather than questioned

"I guess I miss him a lot. He struggles to even look at me, it's like I'm the ghost of her."

"Your mother"

I nodded sullenly and grabbed my coat to leave. As i opened the door he grasped my arm gently and pulled me back. "Take care of yourself Emily" The sweetness of his breathe evaded my nostrils and had me frozen helplessly. He smirked as if sensing that he had entranced me before letting go of me and sitting back in his seat.

Slowly, I closed the door and walked zombie-like to the front door.

He was still smirking through the windscreen as he sped away, leaving me speechless and staring out into the long dark road.

Dylan POV.

Her enthralling sent filled the car, I let out a long breath. It was difficult to be in such a close perimeter to her and not want to kill her. I was being reckless: following her around like a man possessed; listening for her voice during school hours and visiting her house during the night to make sure she was still breathing. My uncle would be outraged if he knew I was following a human girl. And my father. He would either kill her or add her to his collection of blood banks. The mere thought of a needle breaking her skin caused a growl to storm its way through my chest and out of my mouth. I slammed my foot on the acceleration, trying to fight the urge to turn back around and seek her out, she didn't need to be bothered by anyone especially not a vampire. My presence in her life would do her no good and she would eventually come to hate me if she had the insight to discover what I am. From this day onwards I should do my best to stay away from her. God help me.
