God this took me forever to write!

Number. 1!

1. Never...I repeat NEVER allow yourself to get lost in his (stunning, gorgeous, beautiful topaz) eyes! Just don't do it. You may casually glance into them once in a while to avoid suspicion, but if you feel yourself starting to lose all sense of time while looking, slap yourself and look away! If needed Avoid ALL eye contact with him, however this method may arouse unwanted attention.

As I woke up to another same old boring day, I recalled yesterday's list.

I walked towards the bathroom, freshened up as she took a nice warm shower.

Vampires in Vampiria didn't have one special power. They knew how to do everything but mastered in only one. Also there's a limited amount that can be used. You can endanger your life by using too many powers.

After taking a shower and changed into my boring training cloths I walked to look at the list with newfound determination. Who did he think he was? Just because he's one of the most powerful vampire around doesn't mean he can walk all over me! I'm as good as he is! He has insulted and hurt me more times than I can count...He's never even shown me one ounce of kindness since he returned home which is a whole different story. It's about time I got over him.

I read the list over and over again. Just in case I forget what I had to do. Now that would just be embarrassing. Going again and again to look at the list.

DON'T LOOK IN HIS EYES. DON'T LOOK IN HIS EYES. DON'T LOOK IN HIS EYES.

I chanted.

I put the list in the pocket of my backpack.

Imagine how embarrassing it would be if someone found the list, they would all take it in the wrong sense. The giggles, the stares, the.. Argh! I don't even want to think about it. So let's just keep it in my backpack which will always be with me.

I made my way over to the training field as always. It's where we train every day with my team mates. It consists of my best buddy known as William who's extremely hyper no matter what. And obviously Henry the overconfident, stubborn, stuck up… gorgeous, handsome, attractive… WAIT! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS!

Anyways we all have to have a superior person accompany us, which in our case is always Jasper. He's a great guy and we're great friends.

This has been my team for as long as I remember. My first team ever! See the loyalty.

I made my way to the field looking down. I was crossing the bridge so engrossed in my thoughts that I bumped into something hard. The wall. "Shit.. What the hell?" I mumbled and said a few curses. What was I thinking? I should be more attentive. I'm a vampire for God sake. I closed my eyes rubbing my forehead which if I was human would've got a big bump in it.

Reluctantly I slowly made myself look upwards.

Wait a minute! Why didn't the wall just break when I bumped into it?

I opened my eyes and came in contact with a familiar coat wrapped around a very muscular chest.

And from my eye level I could see his black coat falling till his knees, the one he always wore. It gave him a dark mysterious look. Like he needed one I thought sarcastically as he already had it, with or without the coat.

Oh shit. I hadn't bumped into the wall. I had bumped into Henry Fitzroy.

CRAP. CRAP. CRAP. I thought frantically.

I was expecting to see either a very irritated expression on his face or an impossibly infuriating smirk on his impossibly beautiful features.

DING! DING! DING! I was right!

Apparently he found my distracted appearance and now sore forehead amusing, for the smirk presided.

Would it kill this guy to actually smile ones in a while?

I almost growled but I soon found myself staring into his eyes. Again. Just like every other time I happened to be in close proximity of the former-avenger.

'Look away Elizabeth Santiago! Look away!' I though while waving dozens of red flags in front of my eyes. I broke out of my trance and averted her gaze quickly.

"Sorry Henry-babe..." I mumbled out of habit, before quickly side stepping the man in my path and continuing to the bridge, leaving the man in my wake. He paused for a moment thrown off by my hasty retreat. Intrigued, Henry began walking behind me.

Babe in vampiria meant someone who you care about or respect or like and all.

'Jeez! That was close! You looked into his eyes for a full...' i paused and calculated in my head, 'THREE SECONDS! Fool!'

I was filled with a new determination not to give in due to my moment of weakness. I marched in the direction of my team quickly, a new spring in my step.

Soon I will be easily able to avoid his gaze with William around.

'I'm a genius' I thought

That was till Jasper arrived standing behind William.

"YOU'RE LATE!" screamed William all hyper as always.

There they go fighting again.

Sometime Jasper acts like he's a kid instead of one of the oldest strongest vampires around.

I stood there watching just before he ordered "You and me, William, will train today"

"Oh yes! And I'm going to beat your sorry ass and make you wish this never happened!"

I rolled my eyes. No one could beat Jasper. Especially us!

WAIT A MINUTE! THIS MEANT I WOULD TRAIN WITH HENRY!

Simple math if William and jasper trained today then I and Henry would be left.

If I fought with him I would defiantly get lost in his eyes.

"I want to fight William!" I said.

"No, you fight Henry. You haven't been taking training seriously and you're so busy working at the hospital. I think it's best if you train with Henry."

I frowned.

He's mastered in fire. I've mastered in healing. I'm good with close combat. Face to face. But if that happens I'm defiantly getting lost in his deep topaz eyes.

I gulped and saw as Henry had already gotten in his fighting position.

Okay. Calm down.

I waited for him to attack first as I made my way to him slowly.

He didn't attack so I attacked him.

I threw a punch at him which he easily dodged with great speed. Next thing I knew he was behind me. I ducked my elbow in his chest throwing him off balance. He regained it soon and threw a punch at me which I easily dodged and then flew a kick at him which he dodged. This close combat wouldn't help do much to him as he would dodge every single one so I disappeared into the forest and he waited anticipating my attack.

I threw knives which we always carried with us in our training suits. He deflected almost all of them with his own knives but some got through.

I soon attacked him from air and he caught my leg and threw me away. I was getting up as he threw a huge fireball towards me. I nearly dodged it but it burnt my arm. I recognized the burning feeling but I didn't care because I didn't have time to process. Knives were flying towards me. Some hit me some missed me. He came from behind me and grabbed my arms and put a knife on my neck. Slowly cutting it as blood dripped down. Suddenly I bent my back down away from the knife and hit him in his gut with my leg. I flew above him. I punched him hard in his rib. I heard a cracking sound and felt guilty for a minute but carried on.

Unfortunately he got a hold of me again and I was pinned on the ground. This time I was literally struggling to get out of his grasp. He tightened his grip and I yelped in pain.

He said "Easy." Mocking me again that I was weak and it was a piece of cake to defeat me.

I got angry and as he left my arms. I got up to yell at him but soon got caught in his amazing eyes. I starred at them and got lost in the deep bottomless eyes of his topaz eyes.

I raised a hand to my face level.

Henry anticipated my slap and was ready to catch it mid air before it came in contact with his cheek.

When the sound of the slap echoed he looked surprised to see that my hand hadn't come in contact with his cheek, but I had slapped myself.

Wow! That was close Elizabeth Santiago. Don't ever come that close to getting lost in his eyes again!

That fight was intense.

I guess I had to do a lot of healing to do now.

I had also smashed Henrys frame badly.

I walked away.

I went home.

Later at night I went out for dinner to my team's favorite place, Bloodies.

Apparently I found them there.

When I entered William said "Hey! Lizz! Man! Have you seen Henrys face? You smashed it well."

He laughed loudly.

I walked towards them and said "Henry did you get that checked?" he had bruises all over. After affects of our training.

He didn't reply as always.

"Did you get your rib checked? I'm sure I've broken it."

He simply grunted.

"I thought so, come on, pull your shirt up and let me see it."

He protested but I ignored it.

He finally pulled his shirt up and apparently at the same time his fan girls were passing by who squealed loudly and a few simply fainted.

I, on the other hand, focused all my power onto healing his broken ribs.

He looked at me intently.

I was done and pulling back when he mumbled "You're weak."

"Excuse me?" I said anger boiling up again as I tried to remain calm and not create a scene.

"Healing is a weakness" he said blankly as if that was the most obvious fact ever.

That did it. Screw creating a scene.

"I'm not weak! Who the hell do you think you are telling me I'm weak when you're the one with broken ribs I just fixed?"

He simply stared at me and I stared back.

"You're annoying"

That did it. I slapped him as hard as I could. Man if my hand hurt like this then his face must hurt a lot. I tried not to show any emotion of the pain in my hand. I didn't have to as it was nothing compared to the pain I felt inside of me. He had once again hurt me.

He thought I was weak and no matter how many times I try to prove it to him it will never matter.

I heard a lot of gasps but I walked away. Henry still had the same expression as nothing happened.

One of the many times I hated his eyes were when he looked like he had no emotions or insulted me like it meant nothing.

This was one of those times and I knew from now onwards I'd never have a hard time looking into his eyes.

Those eyes which never respected me.

I walked all the way home in disgusted and contentment.

I now knew I would never get lost in his eyes.

Step one: Completed and successful.
