Chapter 5

His fangs detracted and his eyes faded back to green. He just stared at me. I know it wasn't the best thing to do but I ran.

"Thea wait!" He started to run after me and caught up in a blink of an eye and grabbed my arms to stop me.

"Get off me!" I yelled

"Thea let me explain." He said calmly

"NO!" I screamed and he put his hand over my mouth.

"Thea, calm down and let me explain. Please!" I could hear the desperation in his voice so I took a deep breath and his slowly removed his from my mouth just enough for me to say:

"Let go of me first" After he looked me over and was sure I wouldn't run for town he let go of my arms and I listened.

"Look, I know you're scared but it's not what you think."

"That you're a vampire!" I snapped hands on my hips

"OK, it is what you think, but you have to believe me: I only hunt animals, never humans, I would never hurt you."

He looked deep into my eyes and I knew he was telling me the truth.

"You're not lying?" I asked uncertain.

"No I'm not, I would never lie to you."

"Thank you for telling me the truth."

"No problem."

We stood there awkwardly once again and then he leant in uncertainly like he was unsure how I would react and he kissed me. He wasn't sure of himself and it was amazing. After a while he pulled back and I said:

"Wow."

"Yeah, Wow"

"So, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I guess you will" Once again I was blushing and then in a formal voice he asked:

"Fair lady may I escort you home?" he held out his arm

I giggled and replied as I put my arm through his "I would be honoured kind sir if you would walk me home."

James lead me out of the woods and walked me up to my door. He kissed me sweetly.

"Good night beautiful." He whispered

"Goodnight. See you tomorrow?"

"Of course, we have our date remember?" He grinned and kissed me again and walked toward his house. When I entered my house I realised my mother was out. I had barley taken off my jacket before the door knocked. Lauren was standing there breathless:

"What the hell? She was grinning ear to ear

"What?"

"You know what!"

"No, I really don't"

"When were you going to tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"That you're going out with the hottie next door?!"

"Oh, you mean James."

"Duh! Well?"

"We've only just got together!"

"Really? Look at me!"

I looked at her so she knew I was telling the truth. It was a special bond we had I guess.

"OK, I believe you"

"Good, you want to sleep round tonight?"

"Sure!"

We talked all night and I finally felt complete and for once, normal.

A/N : Guys I'm so glad you're liking the story, I know the first few chapters were quite boring but I had to set the scene ready for this little reveal.

Review?

Much Love, Holly xoxo
