Chapter 13
(Jasper's POV)

I had Lilly in my arms on the couch as we sat in front of the television watching a historical documentary on the Revolutionary War that caught both of our attentions. It still amazes me that we have the same interests in the historical wars that happened all around the world.

We were settled in our sleep wear; me in a pair of dark grey sweatpants with a tight fitted black long sleeved shirt. She wore a navy tank top outlined with lace and a pair of skin tight booty shorts completely made out of black lace. She wore brown slippers that looked like boots that came up just under her knees. Every time she stood up I would have to convulsively swallow the venom that pooled in my mouth. God, I just wanted to skink my teeth into her…

The family had just left on their overnight hunting trip about four and a half hours ago, leaving Lil and I alone for the night. I admit, I was a bit nervous, but extremely excited about what was to come. We both have been filled with sexual tension all week and I felt as though I was going to spontaneously combust!

"Are you thirsty?" Lilly asked looking up at me tucked under my arm.

As soon as she mentioned it, the burn in my throat elevated and I nodded at her. I leaned forward about to get up and she put her hand on my chest, stopping me.

"Allow me." She smirked.

I watched as the fridge in the kitchen opened on its own and the two bags of blood that we brought up from our new stash in the basement floated at the same time as two thermoses levitated from the cabinet diagonal from the sink. She distributed each bag into a thermos and one by one was warmed up in the microwave. Finally, she flicked her wrist and they flew across the room into her hands.

"Here," She said handing me one of the thermoses.

I shook my head in amazement, still in utter awe every time I see her use her gift. "You're amazing." I chuckled.

"Well I didn't want you to leave me. I'm comfy." She pouted.

I kissed her bottom lip that was jutted out and smiled holding up my thermos.

"Acclamations!" (Cheers)

She grinned at me and clicked her thermos with mine and brought it to her lips as I did mine.

My eyes rolled into the back of my head as I tasted the warm human blood for the first time in six years. The best part was that there was no guilt, no disappointed family members, and no emotions from my prey bringing me to my knees…just pleasure. I wasn't worried about my eyes turning red and students noticing on Monday, because I have a collection of golden contact lenses on hand from all of my slips. I just will have to wear them for a week until my eye color turns back to normal.

We finished with our thermoses and I watched as the floated back into the kitchen and washed themselves out with bleach in the sink, then was placed into the dishwasher for an extra rinse cycle. We didn't want the family to be bothered with the smell of fresh human blood.

We finished the documentary and decided to take it upstairs into our bedroom, since it was around 10pm. We had been driving each other crazy the entire time with intimate touches and sensual kisses. Not to mention, the smell of her arousal was driving me insane and I had to do everything in my power not to ravish her right here and now. I stopped myself by remembering that she deserved better than having her first time being on the couch in my living room. It thrilled me to no end that I was to be her first and last. When I asked why she was still a virgin, she told me that she honestly hadn't found any man worthy of such a gift; someone that she loved and could see herself with forever. She takes the vows of marriage very seriously and she expected the man she marries to have those same views. (Being raised when I did, I couldn't help but to have those old fashion views on marriage. I might not have those views on sex before marriage, but on the vows of marriage, yes.) She humbled me with her words and my heart swelled with love.

I followed her down the hall to the staircase. She gave me a seductive smirk, followed by a wink as she turned the corner and began the journey up the stairs. I followed her up, my eyes on the sway of her hips as she walked. I could feel myself becoming hypnotized as venom began to pool into my mouth. She was trying to break me, that little minx!

We entered our bedroom and as soon as we were both completely inside, I kicked the door shut with my foot, grabbed her arm and turned her, slamming her against the wall. My body was pressed up against hers and she moaned as she felt my erection through my sweats. I could smell her arousal penetrate the room. I made a show of taking a deep breath in and growled into her neck.

"Do you have any idea what you have been doing to me with this little outfit you have been wearing all night you little tease?" I asked as I nipped at her neck.

She giggled and tilted her neck in a direction that gave me better access. "You're only a tease if you don't plan on following through. It's not my fault if I don't like to wear much to bed. If anything, you're the one who won't follow through in the end."

She was right. I never noticed before because she would always wear one of my t-shirts and a pair of her booty shorts. That was tempting enough, but not that she has her own shirt on…damn.

"So I'm the tease, huh?" I smirked, pulling back to look at her and raised an eyebrow at her challenge. "I bet I can change your opinion." I said, sending a burst of lust in her direction.

"Cheater."

"Oh, really?" I asked as both of my eyebrows rose towards my hairline in surprise, pulling back the lust I was pushing out towards her. I gently touching the side of her face, and fixed my gaze on her eyes, tilting my head slowly as though I was going to kiss her. I raised an eyebrow and grinned cheekily, but didn't stop.

I could tell that Lilly was thrown off guard by my actions and was trying to hide the fact that her pulse was racing, and that the anticipation was killing her. I could feel the tingles all over my body from the mating pull, making everything that much more pleasurable. If I could feel it, I know she could too and I was going to use this to my advantage.

"You're such a chicken." She said pushing me backwards and turning around as she opened the door. "I knew you were all talk. You don't have it in you to actually deliver. You won't even kiss me."

I growled, catching her hand before she was out of my reach and pulled her back into the bedroom. I slammed the door shut and pushed her back against it.

"You're going down." I threatened, brushing my lips teasingly against hers and I spoke. "I bet you 'chicken out' before I do."

She smiled seductively and licked my top lip, hitching her leg up on my waist and grinding her heat into my hardness. I tried to stifle my involuntary groan into her shoulder, but there was no doubt she heard me.

"Oh, yeah?" She chuckled as she continued to gyrate her hips against me. "Well I'm not going to back down – you know how much I hate losing a challenge." She ended with a groan of her own as I pressed myself harder against her heat.

I lifted my head and pressed my forehead against hers; completely taken over by the pleasure she was producing in my groin. I closed my eyes as I spoke. "No turning back now, darlin'."

"I don't plan to." She answered, slamming her lips against mine in a heated kiss. "As a matter of fact, I insist we take this a step further."

She slid her fingers into my hair, pulling it slightly. I moaned, bringing one of my hands that were on her hips lightly up her side to her neck. I felt her shiver slightly as I did this and pulled her closer. Never in my life have I ever been so aroused.

We broke off the kiss for a moment, panting for unneeded air.

"Okay, so we know you're not too chicken to kiss…but that doesn't really prove much of anything…" I whispered.

"Oh really, now?" She said, and she moved one of her hands from my hair, down to my neck, lightly touching my skin; moving around to my chest. She traced a lingering path from my hard pecks down the front of my body to my belly. "Well, how about this?" She pressed, slowly rubbing my erection through my sweats. "Does this prove 'anything'?"

"God damn." I muttered. "I think you're winning – we can't have that." With that, I pulled her down to kiss me again and in one quick, calculated movement, flitted us over to my bed, rolling us over so that I was on top of her, my erection pressing in between her legs in a way that produced a tingling sensation so intense that she gasped out loud, hitching both of her legs around mine.

"So," I whispered, looking into her eyes that were as dark as mine most likely were. I agonizingly slowly reached down, lightly rubbing my hands over her breasts and down to her stomach where the hem of her shirt was and began to pull it up just as slow. "Do you dare to bare-all?"

"Hmmm…" She replied between lingering kisses. I moved down to her neck to give her a chance to answer and placed open mouth kisses on her pulse point where I will soon be marking her as mine. "Only if…it's….tastefully done." She panted as I found her sweet spot on her neck. She began to squirm under me as I did this, moving my fingertips up and down her base sides. (Her shirt was up to her breasts.)

"Yes," I murmured, switching sides. "That's important." I moved up and breathed lightly into her ear. "Only if it's in the name of art…"

I pulled her shirt up over her head, revealing her beautiful body and black lace bra. I looked down her body and my eyes widened in awe. Her skin was so smooth and flawless. Such beauty should only belong to the heavens. She is my angel in every aspect.

"Wow." I gasped.

To my delight, the clasp for her bra was in the front, right in-between her perky breasts. She smirked and brought her fingers to the hem of my own shirt and began to attempt to pull up. I stopped her, not making eye contact.

"What's wrong?" She asked. I could feel her concern and worry "Did I do something?"

I snapped my head up to her, looking in her eyes. "No," I shook my head. "You did nothing wrong." I said tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear affectionately.

"Then what's the matter?" She asked.

I bit my bottom lip. I knew that I could never lie to my angel. "You know how I told you about my time with Maria, training her newborns and the battles I was in? How I never lost a fight?" She nodded. "Well, every one of those vampires I defeated left their mark, not to mention Maria and her punishments."

"What do you mean 'left their mark'?" She asked, her eyebrows knitted together.

I sighed, pulling back to sit up on my shins; I took a deep breath in through my nose and out my mouth. I slowly lifted my shirt up and over my head, tossing it to the floor on the side of my bed.

I didn't look at her, waiting for the disgust and pity she was sure to feel. Instead, what happened next shocked me. She gasped and lust and awe began to pour from her. I snapped my head in her direction, my eyes the size of watermelons.

She sat up, effectively straddling me and began to trace the scars on my chest. I close my eyes at the pleasure and began to purr loudly. No one has ever been brave enough or even liked them enough to touch me the way she is. She's so excepting of every part of me and she actually loves them if I was going by her emotions alone.

"Is this why you wear long sleeves and pants all the time?" She murmured.

"Yes." I whispered back.

"Why?" She looked up from my chest to my eyes; hers were filled with venom tears.

I pursed my lips and prepared to answer.

"In our world, when other creatures see these battle scars…it is a sign that screams 'danger.' I've never met another with as many as me. They either get scared of me or attempt to start a fight." I clarified. "Other's seek me out enough as it is because of my reputation. As I've explained to you before, vampires are always trying to test themselves. Especially since we have all of eternity, we try to find things to do with our time."

"But surely when we are here at home, you can let loose." She paused, biting her bottom lip in her nervous habit. "Or with me?"

I let out a deep breath through my nose. "It makes them uncomfortable. For the first few months I was here, the few times that I did take my shirt off for one reason or another in front of them, I felt their fear, their pity, their uncomfortable feelings…" I looked up at her from my lap. "Eventually, I just stopped showing any skin around them." I shrugged. "Now as for you, I didn't know how you would react. I knew you are mostly a vampire, so you would see them as clearly as any of us immortals would. In my experience with sexual encounters before you came along, the women would make me keep my shirt on. You startled me when you went to take it off."

"Jasper," She cupped my face. "I think by now the Cullen's are comfortable enough to have you around with short sleeves and shorts or even without a shirt at some point. All that happened when they were first getting to know you. I would bet my life on it that that has all changed by now." She placed a chaste kiss on my lips. "As for me…I happen to find the very sexy." She said with a smirk, and then turned serious. "They are a part of who you are; a sign of all you have overcome and changed for the better. They make me feel safe, knowing you can protect me." She cupped my jaw. "And I bet that if you ask the family that they will say the same thing."

I smiled in adoration at my mate. "You are exquisite." I pulled her into a tight hug. "I don't know what I would do without you, mon amour. (my love) Nor do I know what I did to deserve such an amazing woman for a mate." I pulled back and cupped her cheek with the hand that wasn't on her waist and ran my thumb across her cheek bone. "Promise me that you will never leave me? I don't know if I could take it."

A lone tear fell down her cheek, but her emotions showed nothing but pure love, affection, joy, along with a bit of lust. "I could never, even if I tried." She answered, pulling me in for a kiss.

All games aside now, I laid us back down on to the bed as I continued to kiss her, pouring all of my feelings into her with my kiss.

She pushed me back with both hands on my head. "Open yourself up to me?"

I looked at her hesitantly. "Are-are you sure?"

She nodded her head and I could tell by her emotions that there was no trace of doubt. I took a deep breath in and as I let it out, I opened up my gift to her and let all of my emotions flow out of me. She smiled up at me and pulled me back in for a kiss with new yearning. My body ached for her in a way I never knew it could.

I began to plant soft lingering kisses down her neck, undoing the clasp on her bra as I went. She gasped as I freed them from their confines and helped her remove it down her arms, and then laid her back down. Her nipples were raised and erect and she encouraged me further with her gasps and moans as I massaged her breasts. I slowly squeezed them, cupping them.

She let out a sigh as my mouth found her nipples, caressing them gently with my tongue. Her thighs clenched together and she arched her back instinctively. She wrapped her legs around me and pushed her heat up, grinding into my hardness, enticing a moan from us both, these sensations so yearned for and yet so new to us both as they electrified our bodies. Thank you mating bond…It was always said that no sex from anyone anywhere could ever compare to that from your mate. I am now a firm believer!

I let my tongue continue to tease and torment her breasts, one at the time. She was squirming under me, all of this completely new to her, regardless.

My hands began to slide up her thighs, gently squeezing her soft skin, stroking my way upwards and slipping between them towards her innocence. She looked deep into my eyes, her pupils dilated. She slowly spread her legs outward for me as my fingers explored her as of yet undiscovered intimacies. God, she was so wet! I groaned in excitement as my fingers softly probed. The heal of my hand applied the exact amount of pressure required and her back arched a little as her breath quickened. She moaned as I massaged her, stroking her thighs, and then returning to her sensitive clit.

I moved back up from her breasts to her face, looking at her. She was so beautiful and the reality is so much better than any of my fantasies that I have had since the day I met her. I was completely engrossed in her, totally spellbound. Every time I touched her, she reacted as though it was the first time and it turned me on so hopelessly. Her hands began to explore my body, over passing my sensitive waist. Her arousal was so strong and driving me further. I grinned at her, stopping to move down her body and caressing her silky skin with my fingertips.

"I have to taste you." I whispered, my lips lightly touching her skin all the way down.

She lifted her head slightly and watched as I positioned my shoulders between her thighs. I slowly set about her thighs with my mouth and my fingers returned to her pussy. I kissed her thigh up to where it joined her hip and then slowly moved across until my teeth were nipping at the delicate fabric of her lace booty shorts. My fingers were inside them in an instant and I began to pull them down her legs. Her body was trembling with anticipation and expectation, coated with lust and excitement. She let her head fall back and let out a sigh, closing her eyes.

I watched her bite her lip as my tongue flicked back and forth over her clit with wide circular motions, feeling her pleasure as if it was my own. These are the times where I loved my gift. Waves of pleasure washed through us both, increasing as new sensations began to take over. Everything just felt so right. I was gentle, yet determined and intermittently forceful and rough. She relaxed her body and touched her body and her breasts. My hands slowly drifted up her body and took her breasts. We both began to moan, me against her clit, as the feelings became overwhelming. Slowly, but surely, the pulsating tremor shifted to a roaring throb. Then it hit. Our first orgasm, she screamed as her body shook and convulsed with sheer ecstasy. I held her close with one hand as I let out a loud groan, coming in my other hand as I began to stroke myself, catching everything that came out. I continued to hold her until she stopped shaking and her breathing returned to normal as I licked and cleaned her with my tongue. She tasted heavenly.

I grabbed a towel from the laundry bin next to the bed and cleaned myself off, then kissed my way up her body, already hard again and ready to go. I made it up to her lips and kissed her deeply, letting her taste herself on my tongue. She moaned into my mouth and shocked me as she flipped me us over, making her way down my body.

It came as some surprise when I felt her mouth close around my cock. Her tongue swept around the base of the tip and her fingers continued to stroke my shaft. I gripped the sheets, groaning, when her other hand reached down and grabbed my balls, playing with them as she bobbed up and down my dick. After enjoying the wonderful attention she was giving to me, I stopped her. I pulled her back up my body, then flipped us over and cupped her face with both of my hands.

"I really want to make love to you, darlin'." I said placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

She deepened the kiss and I felt her begin to push down my sweat pants along with my boxers. I pulled back to look at her and she bit her lip. God she was unbelievably sexy. I had to have her and I needed her now. I crashed my lips to her wildly as we lost ourselves in the moment. I took myself in my hand and slowly swept myself over her clit.

"Are you ready, baby girl?" I whispered in her ear.

She responded nervously by nodding and moaning when I pushed myself inside her. She was tight and I knew it was uncomfortable for her. I looked at her face and noticed that her eyes were closed tightly and she was holding her breath. I knew that I was very well endowed, even for a vampire, so I knew that until I broke through and she got comfortable that this was not going to be very pleasant.

"Relax Lilly, please baby, I won't hurt you, I promise." I whispered again. "Would you like me to take away some of the pain?" She hesitantly nodded. I reached out with my gift and took away as much of the actual pain as I could and pushed lust and desire towards her, leaving her with a pleasurable pain.

When she exhaled, I pushed myself in deeper, breaking through her hymen. She cried out in pleasure and pain as a tear of venom fell from her right eye. I kissed it away, holding still as I let her adjust to my size as I was fully sheathed inside her heat. After a few moments, I felt her pain completely dissipate and she bucked her hips showing that she was ready.

I slowly pulled out until only the tip was left inside of her and I thrust back inside to the hilt.

"Ugh, Jasper!" Lilly trembled and clung to my body as I began to slowly move in and out of her.

Good God, I have never felt anything like this. It was wonderful, I couldn't even describe it! I could feel our mating bond solidifying and all that was needed now was our releases and our marks.

Our hands moved all over each other's bodies and placed wet kisses anywhere we could reach. We were truly making love, not just fucking; something that I have never done before. The emotions being passed back and forth between each other was enough to bring any one to their knees. God, what pleasure could make me abandon every vestige of dignity and restraint and make me throw myself upon her, desperate to continue with the onslaught to her body.

I began to pick up the pace a little bit, pushing myself deeper inside of her and filling her more with each gentle thrust, not having to hold back because of her vampirism. She lifted her legs and wrapped them around my waist, both of us moaning at the new angle that allowed me to go deeper. She turned side to side as I felt her walls begin to flutter around me. I continued to move faster, breathing heavily on her neck, kissing her skin and squeezing her breast in my hand. I lifted myself onto my hands and looked down at my mate. Her face was filled with desire and sexual pleasure. I slipped my hand around her waist and flipped us both over.

Lilly opened her eyes and sat herself across me; slowly sinking onto me and letting her head fall back. Her own fingers began pleasuring her breasts. I watched and felt myself hurtling towards release, but I refused to cum until my mate does. I am a gentleman after all.

I grabbed her hips and pulled her down harder and she screamed out as I raised my hips, thrusting myself deeper into her. I was breathless, panting and in pain from needing the release that I was holding back, but it all felt so wonderful.

I sat up, taking her nipple into my mouth as my fingers slipped between her lips and over her clit as I helped her near her release. She rocked with abandon as my fingers continued to circle her while I bit lightly on her other nipple. I couldn't hold out much longer, but I wanted to make this last as long and as pleasurable as possible. The sight of her riding me, knowing I was her first, it was too much.

Between my gift and my ministrations, I knew it was too much for her as well. Her walls immediately clamped down on my dick as she screamed her release as her fangs grew from her gums and she leaned down and bit onto my pulse point, marking me as hers for all eternity.

As soon as her teeth made it all the way through, an enormous amount of pleasure shot through me, throwing me over the edge so fast, I couldn't have held off even if I wanted to. Never have I felt something this amazing before in all of my existence. I never knew I could even feel this way; so full of love, lust, euphoria, adoration, desire and happiness…

I roared my release, my fangs growing from my gums as I bit into her pulse point and released my mating venom. She began convulsing as the bite took her over the edge again, squeezing down on me tighter and bringing my release to another level. I growled into her neck as this happened and I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head in pure and utter bliss.

I finally released myself from her neck, pulling back and leaned my forehead on her shoulder, panting as I tried to catch my unneeded breath as she did the same, still staying buried inside of her. I held her tightly so she couldn't move, just for a minute. I needed to feel her to ensure that this was all real and not another fantasy. Then again, no fantasy could instill this much love and bliss.

Minutes passed and finally I was able to pick up my head and looked at my angel. She was absolutely glowing as she gave me a loving smile. I leaned up and kissed her soft pink lips.

"I love you." I whispered against her mouth.

"As I love you, mon cher." (my dear) She replied pulling back. "I'll never forget this moment, even if I live until the end of time."

I smiled up at her and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She looked so beautiful after making love. "As will I." I agreed, sending her a strong bust of love.

(Bella's POV)

I opened my eyes to a familiar place. Aware in some corner of my consciousness that I was dreaming, I recognized the green light of the forest. I could hear the waves crashing against the rocks somewhere nearby. And I knew that if I found the ocean, I'd be able to see the sun. I was trying to follow the sound, but then Jacob Black was there, tugging on my hand, pulling me back toward the blackest part of the forest.

"Jacob? What's wrong?" I asked

His face was frightened as he yanked with all his strength against my resistance; I didn't want to go into the dark.

"Run, Bella, you have to run!: he whispered, terrified.

"This way, Bella!" I recognized Mike's voice calling out of the gloomy heart of the trees, but I couldn't' see him.

"Why?" I asked, still pulling against Jacob's grasp, desperate now to find the sun.

But Jacob let go of my hand and yelped, suddenly shaking, falling to the dim forest floor. He twitched on the ground as I watched in horror.

"Jacob!" I screamed. But he was gone. In his place was a large red-brown wolf with black eyes. The wolf faced away from me, pointing toward the shore, the hair on the back of his shoulders bristling, low growls issuing from between his exposed fangs.

"Bella, run!" Mike cried out again from behind me. But I didn't turn. I was watching a light coming towards me from the beach.

And then, Edward stepped out from the trees, his skin faintly glowing, his eyes black and dangerous. He held up one hand and beckoned me to come to him.

The wolf growled at my feet.

I took a step forward, toward Edward. He smiled then, and his teeth were sharp, pointed.

"Trust me," he purred, pointing in the direction from where he came from. I looked to see what he was trying to show me and saw Lilly walking hand in hand with Jasper. She smiled and me, her teeth just as sharp and pointed as Edward and both of their skin faintly glowing as well, but more like a glow than sparkles. Jasper's was a little different. He was almost a mixture between Lilly and Edward, but just as beautiful.

I took another step.

The wolf launched himself across the space between me and the vampires, fangs aiming for the jugular.

"No!" I screamed, wrenching upright out of my bed.

My sudden movement caused the headphones to pull the CD player off the bedside table, and it clattered to the wooden floor.

My light was still on, and I was sitting fully dressed on the bed, with my shoes on. I glanced, disoriented, at the clock on my dresser. It was five-thirty in the morning.

I groaned, fell back, and rolled over onto my face, kicking off my boots. I was too uncomfortable to get anywhere near sleep, though. I rolled back over and unbuttoned my jeans, yanking them off awkwardly as I tried to stay horizontal. I could feel the braid in my hair, an uncomfortable ridge along the back of my skull.

Could the Cullen's be vampires?

But he said that there is a new one that just became a part of their coven. A brunette female with long brown hair. She sounds a lot like Lilly, but Lilly can't be a vampire. Sure, she is just as beautiful as they are, but she has light green eyes and they have golden or topaz eyes. But she has the cold skin like them. Ugh, this is so confusing. No, there is no way its Lilly. The new member must not go to school. Though the pieces do add up, except for a few things that makes everything seem like it couldn't possibly be true. Not to mention the treaty that Jacob spoke about. Wouldn't changing her violate the treaty? I haven't noticed any changes in her, unless they did it before I met her. I continued to prattle on and on in my head as I stared at the ceiling in my bedroom.

Maybe I should just ask her. Ha! Yeah right, Bella! I could picture it; me walking up to my best friend and saying 'hey, so I heard that you're a vampire. Is it true?' Yeah, that'll go over well. Especially if it turns out that she isn't a vampire. Call the men in white with nets and lock me in a padded cell!

If she isn't a vampire, does she know about the Cullen's? I mean she is dating one and has been living with them for a week now. You would think she would know, but what if she doesn't? Or maybe I am just letting my imagination run wild. I mean, Jake did say that it was just a scary. But it's such a coincidence! Man, I'm getting a headache.

I sat up, and my head spun for a minute as the blood flowed downward. First things first, I thought to myself, happy to put it off as long as possible. I grabbed my bathroom bag.

The shower didn't last nearly as long as I hoped it would, though. Even taking the time to blow-dry my hair, I was soon out of my things to do in the bathroom. Wrapped in a towel, I crossed back to my room. I couldn't tell if Charlie was still asleep, or if he had already left. I went to look out my window, and the cruiser was gone. Fishing again.

I looked up and across the street to Lilly's house, not sure why I was bothering considering I knew that no one was home.

I dressed slowly into my most comfy sweats and then made my bed – something I never did. I couldn't put it off any longer. I went to my desk and switched on my old computer.

I hated using the Internet here. My modem was sadly outdated, my free service substandard' just dialing up took so long that I decided to go get myself a bowl of cereal while I waited and brought it up to my room and set it down on my desk next to my computer. I trilled my nails on my desk as I continued to wait while I ate slowly, chewing each bite with care.

When I was done, I ran downstairs, washing the bowl and spoon, dried them, and put them away. My feet dragged as I climbed the stairs. I went to my CD player first, picking it up off the floor and placing it precisely in the center of the table. I pulled out the headphones, and put them away in the desk drawer. Then I turned the same CD on, turning it down to the point where it was background noise.

With another sigh, I turned to my computer. Naturally, the screen was covered in pop-up ads. I sat in my hard folding chair and began closing all the little windows. Eventually, I made it to my favorite search engine, Google. I shot down a few more pop-ups and then typed in one word.

Vampire.
