Will and I walked out into the glaring light, our eyes having to adjust from the theater's darkness. It's been two weeks since Alex's bloody nose and our tickle war. We just watched The Duchess and I absolutely loved it. It was really good and the costumes were stunning.

"So Cat? What did you think of it?"

"I liked it, did you?"

"Yes I suppose I did. Although its not very accurate…"

"Its not? Did you know her?"

"Yeah and it is fairly accurate but she wasn't exactly like that. There were other sides of her. She was an amazing woman…but she denied our offer."

" Offer?"

"Yes, whenever anyone shows promise they receive an offer to be converted into a vampire. You'd be surprised how many famous people are still around."

"Really? Who?"

"Hmm… let me think for a moment." I waited expectantly. Maybe I could meet a famous person. "William Shakespeare, Marilyn Monroe, Queen Victoria, Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, Al Capone, Blackbeard, King Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine, Attila the Hun, Jane Austen, Hans Christian Anderson…and well you get the idea," he said smiling.

"That is a lot of people. Some of them were bad too? Why would you let them continue living?"

"Well some of those weren't my decisions…but they've done a lot of good since then. For example, Attila has truly helped with the advancement of veterinary medicine. Its quite believable what people will do when given the time."

"That is so cool! Have you really met all of those famous people? Have you ever decided who got to be a vampire?" My head spun; how many vampires were there?

"No, unfortunately I have not met all of them. Yes I have decided once who would become a vampire."

"Who?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"If I did…I'd have to kill you." I glared at him. In the past few days I think my glaring abilities have truly improved.

"Ha ha, very funny," I replied sarcastically intensifying my glare.

"No, I'm being dead serious." He smiled and I couldn't help but laugh. My glare receded and I linked my arm through his.

"So, where are we going now?"

"I don't know. Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere you are." I leaned in against him and rested my head against his shoulder as we walked to his car.

"Well, I think I know just the place." He opened the car door for me and soon we were speeding down the highway. "You've probably been there before, but never in this light."

"So where exactly is this place?"

"You'll see." Will turned off the highway and we entered Manhattan. Soon I recognized where we were heading.

"Central Park?" I questioned. I hadn't been there since I was a little girl, even though we live a block away. Will remained silent. I must have guessed correctly. He almost immediately found a spot like always and parked the car.

"Close your eyes Cat…" I looked at him for a minute before complying. My eyes shut and I heard the car doors opening and closing. I expected him to lead me but instead he scooped me up in his arms. "Are you ok?" I nodded, wrapped my arms around his neck, and put my head in the crook of neck. He began to walk and I could feel his heart beating. I smiled to myself…I finally understood how Bella felt. I couldn't understand why Will would want to be with me or how I had ended up in his arms. But I didn't care. My dream was coming true…well at least half of it. I wondered if Will would change me…he never did tell me how it was done. Probably with a bite…but I had no idea.

"We're here." Will whispered, setting me gently on the floor. I opened my eyes and gasped. He was right. Shakespeare's Garden looked beautiful in twilight.

"It's beautiful. Thank you." I turned and hugged him. I tried to kiss him but he turned his head, leaving me his cheek. "Why not?" I whispered.

"I can't…" He replied softly. I pulled out of his grip offended.

"Don't you like me? Haven't we spent the last two weeks together? Why can't you? Is it against some strange vampire notion? I thought you cared about me?" My voice slowly rose until I almost screamed out the last word. I blinked hard, determined not to let any tears through while he was around. "You were just lonely…right? Wanted someone to hang out with. You never like me." I said softly. Will opened his mouth to reply. "No, I don't want to hear some pathetic excuse." I turned around and walked away from him towards my house, which was on the other side of the park. I heard his footsteps behind me: "Just leave me alone." I heard him stop and began to run when I knew he couldn't see me anymore. I let the tears finally come, blurring my vision.

I ran, letting the wind whip past my face. As my tears slowly stopped, my body did too. It was getting dark. I lifted my head and looked around. The park looked different in this light, I felt lost. I continued walking, hoping to find someone who could tell me where I was. The shadows lengthened and the few lights did not help my fears. I kept walking, jumping at every sound. I felt like I was getting nowhere. Everything looked the same. An owl hooted and I almost screamed. I thought I heard laughter but I put it off as nerves. All of a sudden I saw the bridge; I knew where I was. Just past the bridge was the path that led me home. My stepped quickened as I walked towards it. Just as I was about to walk under it, a person stepped out of the shadows. I gasped before realizing that it was a teenager like me.

"Hiya there." He said advancing towards me.

"Um…Hi?" I replied while trying to walk past him but he stepped in the way.

"Now what's a pretty girl like you, doing out here so late." My breath hitched, his voice had changed, it was deeper. "Don't you know vampires are out at night?" He shimmered slightly and I instantly knew the truth.

"They don't like human blood." I said out loud, trying to reassure myself. He chuckled roughly and shimmered slightly again. I prayed silently, willing someone to walk by and see.

"That is true, for the most part. Although I do believe, I'm the exception to the rule." He smiled at me, showing his teeth. He came closer, stalking me, moving with grace and ability. The grace and ability only a hunter would possess. He was hunting me! I was terrified and my body seemed to freeze; I willed my legs to move. As I tried to move, he advanced slowly still smiling. My heart raced as I backed away only to hit a tree. I was trapped. My eyes closed as the only human-blood loving vampire closed in on me.
