Stefan's P.O.V (Point of View)
The smell of eggs, bacon, and sausage wafted through the house. I walked over to the stove, and flipped the pancakes. I gathered the rest of the food on a plate in the mean time. I turned around to face the stove again and removed the pancakes to put on the plate. I put the completed plate on a tray and rested a fork and knife on either side.
I walked up the stairs quietly as not to wake up Mrs. Flowers, the owner of the house that let me and Elena stay here. I shifted the plate over to my left hand and raised my right to knock. I knocked quietly and Elena opened it. She walked back to the bed and sat down. I placed the tray on the desk next to the computer, and sat down next to her. I pulled her into my lap and she smiled and looked up at me.
"Good morning my little lovely love." I greeted her.
"Good morning. How are you doing?"
"Good. And you?" I asked
"Wonderful. Though im having a crappy hair day, but thats ok."
I laughed.
"I think you look fine."
"Thats no help! You ALWAYS say I look fine." she said jokingly
"What? You do."
She gave me a peck on the lips and rested her head against my chest.
"We have to get some stuff from the market today."
"Ok. Ill quickly eat my food and throw on some real clothes."
"Alright. Ill be downstairs if you need anything."
"'Kay."
With that I gave her a peck on the cheek and patted her knee. I quietly closed the door behind me and went down the stairs noiselessly. I sat at the kitchen table contemplating whether I should go hunt now.
The door upstairs shut and I looked up at the top of the stairs at Elena. She jogged down and I stood up and pushed the chair in behind me. She smiled and I returned the favor. I decided I would go hunting later and together we exited the house and walked to the market. We arrived minutes later, and I grudgingly left Elena alone at the fruit area:
"You go over there-"
She said pointing to the farther points of the market.
"-and ill stay over here by the fruits." she offered.
"No. Im not leaving you alone for something to happen to you again." he replied solemnly
"Oh come on! Im not a baby!" she told him
"Of course your not." he replied.
She rolled her eyes.
"I know your used to providing, but I want to be independent! It would really mean a lot to me. Please?" she pleaded
I cast my eyes downward and muttered:
"Fine."
She hugged me and smiled.
"Thanks!" she helped me in my section for a bit then dissapeared off to the fruits.

I walked around the market looking for Elena. I walked over to the fruits and spotted Elena immediately. Istarted over there to help her with her stuff when she tripped, walking backwards and everything flew into the air. A girl near her reacted quickly and caught each fruit before it hit the ground. She smiled triumphantly until she saw Elena had tripped. Her smile quickly faded and she rested the fruits down on the closest fruit stand and grabbed onto Elena's arms, which had been flailing around looking for something to grab onto. They found the girl's hands and stopped inches from the ground.
They both broke out into a grin and the crowd that had gathered around them cheered. I rushed over.
"Are you ok?" The girl and I asked simultaneously.
"Yeah, yeah im fine." she said tugging down her shirt and pulling her baseball cap lower.
"You sure your not hurt or anything?" The strange girl asked, worry clear in her eyes.
"Im ok. Really. Thanks soooooooo much! Whats your name?"
"Your welcome. My name is Selena. Selena Tremor."
"Wow! Pretty name. Are you new to the town?"
"Yeah. I just got here yesterday. I was trying to find a place to eat, and found the market."
Her eyes widened as if she said something she wasnt supposed to.
"I-i-i mean i was looking for a restaurant to eat." she stammered.
"Yeah. Theres this really nice place somewhere to the east by the ummmmm...uuuuuuuuuuuh...bookstore. Its really nice but if you dont mind would you like to come to dinner with us? I mean not a lot of people would have taken the time to do what you did."
"Oh no! I wouldnt want to impose!" she relied shyly
"No! No problem! Seriously. Please?"
She flashed a 100-watt smile and said:
"What the heck? Sure. Whats your names by the way?"
"Im Stefan." I told her.
"And im Ele-"
I nudged her lightly and she blundered.
"I-i-i mean Ele-...Elenora!"
"Elenora?"
"Yeah. Elenora."
"Nice to meet you." Selena held her hand out.
Elena took it and shook it.
"Both of you."
She said and shook Stefan's hand.
She flashed another one of her 100-watt smiles and my gaze flickered to her canines, which I couldnt help but were unusually sharp...
