Chapter 8

From this moment on i wasn't going to leave her unprotected. I decided i would ask Mavis if she would continue the training with me. That wasn't the only reason i wanted to continue, i would have all the powers of a vampire at my disposal for when it was time. I went back to her room and waited until i could hear the light breaths of her sleeping state.

I entered finding her in the exact position i left her in, and waited. I sat there staring, staring at her young innocent face, which had no idea of the events that were taking place around her. Should i tell her? No that would only worry her, i need a way to get my mind of Vince, ahaha it only took me a minute to realise, that she was exactly that, she was my best distraction.

"Uh, Connor, you still hear?" she yawned

"How could i leave?" I needed something to cover up the subject of vince, something BIG really BIG.

" I read your thoughts" i whispered

"Anything you liked?" she joked

I looked dead into her eye "I liked the bit where you thought, and i quote" he's my zing and he doesn't even know."" I watched waiting for a reaction, anything really.

Her bottom lip began to shake, and then she hid her head in between her knees attempting to muffle her small cries .PERFECT I thought. I went and sat next to her, i reached out my arm and placed it on her back, and began to rub, in an attempt to sooth her. She looked up at me with her wet soggy face; I couldn't help it just laughed.

"Hey, I heard that!" she whimpered, but still managing to punch my arm.

I wrapped my arms around her "you didn't tell me because you thought i didn't zing?" i asked.

She nodded " i didn't know if you liked me." she stuttered " i was scared."

I took my arms of her, cupped her chin and lifted her head to my level. I placed one of my hands below her earlobe, carefully holding her neck, and with the other hand i gently pulled back her hair and placed it behind her other ear, all the while i never let eye contact go.

"Does this answer your question?" i whispered as i moved my head closer and closer to hers. My lips lingered in anticipation and i could hear her heart pounding yet each beat seemed slower and slower to me. We both leaned in and met in the middle, slowly our lips met, this was perfect. Our tongues intertwined but i could feel more than that, i could feel her as a whole. We were one and every breath, every heartbeat, every movement I could feel though it was my own. We were one.

I slowly pulled my head away but never letting go, our arms still gripping each other as if it were life or death. "well, now you know" i whispered. She looked deep into my eyes, forming at the sides of her mouth... a smile. She was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen.

She stood up still holding my arms, i sat there with a curious grin on my face, what is she doing? She pulled me up onto my feet and led me to her window.

"I want to show you something" she whispered

She transformed into her bat form and without any warning lifted me out of the window and up towards the roof. She gently set me down before changing back to join me. We looked out into the dark quit night. We stood there without moving for several minutes staring at the beautiful Transylvanian mountains, watching the cool crisp air settle on the branches of trees, and looking up into the starry night. Could it get better than this?

Before i had thought of an answer she wrapped her arm around mine, linking us together, she decided to cuddle up into me, so there i was, my arm around her trying to comfort her for no reason, as we looked up into the night sky.

"Mavis" i ever so gently whispered into her ear "the suns coming up, let's get back inside"

So we made our way back inside, she flew just high enough in her room so that my feet couldn't touch the floor "Mavis" i chuckled "you can let me go now"

"I'm never letting you go" she whispered. She dropped me onto her bed, as she landed right behind me she wrapped her hands around my neck, cuddling my back. I began to laughed as i had to physically remove her hands from my body. I walked towards the door, and turned" will you still be awake in about an hour?, i might come back later, my rooms getting aired out" i laughed.

She give me a crooked smile "do you mean you want to come back for a cuddle?" she joked.

I looked at her with a straight face" a cuddle?" i asked, she grew conscious "wouldn't miss it for the world!" i laughed.

I tried to get out but i wasn't fast enough, her pillow hit me straight in the face," getting slow!" she shouted as i ran down the corrie door. Ahaha, who would have thought, me, the hunter who fell for a vampire. I began to laugh at myself. But I'm glad i did.

"Oh-oh-oh, what you been doing" Cazz smirked.

"WHAT?" i asked

He glared at me wide eyed, " you been having a bit of ruff and tumble, with mavis?" he laughed.

I couldn't help it, my face turned bright red "no" i said trying to deny it. But very clearly failing to do so.

"Ha-ha-ha you're a lair, i can read thoughts, you know" he said

What? How can he do that, i thought Drac told me only zings can do that

"mate" Kie shouted from behind us both " he can't even walk on walls yet... you have her lipstick all over your face!" he explained.

"Had to ruin the fun didn't you?, he believed me you know" Cazz giggled

"Yeah and i believed he would have punched you square in the nose if you let him walk around with all that on his face, so really you owe me one!" He joked.

I stared him down," he's right you know, you're lucky your nose is still straight"

"Ha-ha and that's when you woke up right?"

"Yea yea Cazz, you can shut up now!, we need to talk about what happened, you know with jack."

They both eyed me suspiciously, i hinted for them to follow me, which they did without a word. We made our way down the long empty corridor, towards Dracs office. I shouted out side of his door, calling, to see if he was in.

"Come in" he said.

Huh no flying doors? We walked in to Dracs office and waited for him to lift his head from an old dusty book, " yes?" he asked, clearly confused of our visit.

"we need to talk about, well the hunter" i eminently caught his and my men's attention.

I continued to explain "we lost jack, but that means were a man down" i stopped and waited for their reactions, " were a four man team!"

Drac immediately stood up, " i can't join your so called team."

I could see he was in distress and immediately calmed his thoughts" im thinking about brining a extra man down hear" i suggested.

"WHAT!, you can't, we already have hunters trying to kill us... no i will not allow it!" he concluded.

" just hear me out Drac" i tried to ask, but he was still very clearly going to say no, so i was going to have to encourage him.

"this guy, huh huh, he's one hell of a shot, i used to roll with him in the SAS before I joined the regiment" i looked around the room smiling.

" if we give him the tools, and the weapons, Vince wont even get close, see this guy is a marksman, and trust me you wouldn't want to be in his crosshairs" i said proudly, knowing i captured the curiosity of Drac.

" who is he?" Cazz asked.

I continued, ignoring Cazzs question "he doesn't even know monsters exist, so if we could get him hear safely, then we have the upper card!"

"Who is he?" Cazz asked again, but clearly becoming more frustrated.

I turned and lit up a smile. "HE... HIS NAME IS DILLON!"

I looked at Drac with a pleading face "it's our best chance" i begged.

He looked at me with a curious smile "how soon can he be hear?"

"Within the weak"
