I am so happy I'm updating- you guys are lucky- I Was thinking about putting this on...HIATUS. "I had to say it...I dared myself." ~Chad Dylan Cooper.
Also, the last chapter cut itself short for some reason. I don't know why, but it did. I'll have to re-upload it tomorrow. So, tomorrow check out the previous chapter and make sure to read the full ending.
So, without further ado, I give you the next chappy!

Sonny.

I began to slowly untangle myself from Cindy. We were now outside, far enough away from my house ( and Chad- the thought made me frown) so that neither of us could smell Lucy. Cindy's face was unforgettable, the hatred she felt for me at the moment and the longing she felt for Lucy combined made a terrifying expression. I tried not to look at her.
She refused to look at me, too. I sighed.
"You are not to lay a finger on Lucy." I said blandly. "Now, let's hunt."
"What humans will we feed off tonight?" She asked in the same tone, sarcasm dripping from her smirking lips.
I snorted, pushing her forward as we walked at a human pace deeper into the woods.
"Cindy," I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious. If you're going to stay with me, you're going to have to learn my lifestyle."
"Who ever said I was living with you?"
I stared at her with a blank stare. "You really think that you could live on our own in your condition?"
"My condition?"
"Cindy. You've not eaten in over four months apparently."
"And?"
I took a deep breath. "Smell that?"
She glared at me. "Of course I smell that."
"It's a deer."
"Tell me something I don't know."
"Where do I begin?" I muttered, but she heard. Loud and clear. "You will be permanently scarred by your anorexia. You'll never be as strong as you once were."
"I know that." She admitted, barely standing up straight. She grimaced, but allowed my hand to stay on her back so she didn't fall. She couldn't run a quarter as fast as I could now. "Look, I already know I'm going to fall for this. I've already seen it. So just go catch me that deer." Her mouth stayed firm, as if she hated admitting it.
I smiled, victorious, and pushed Cindy against the nearest tree so she could balance herself.
I smelled the deer perfectly thirty feet away from me. From the angle I was at, it could be seen if I moved just a few feet away from Cindy and away from a tree that blocked my vision. If she was going to get as much strength back as she could, she needed over thirty of those...Maybe we could catch a bear somewhere.
After I snapped the neck of the deer, my jaw hardened in thirst and despair. Slowly, I brought it back to Cindy.
I laid it gently in her lap, feeling her eyes on me. When I met them, I saw she was staring at me with a curious yet honorable stare.
"You are very noble, Sonny." She nodded.
I just stared at her. Though she was eighteen years of age to any human, I saw that she was centuries older. So much more mature, wise.
"Yeah, right." I whispered, and just watched her.
"So..." She looked down at the poor deer uncertainly. "So- I just..." She leaned down a little more and peeked up at me as if she needed confirmation that she was doing it right. I just nodded encouragingly.
I looked away when she sunk her teeth into it.

After Cindy declared she was going for a run after all the animals we hunted, I let her go. I was almost positive that she was going to find some late-night human walking around...I just shook my head. She could do what she wanted- I'm not her mother. I wish I knew my own mother, too, but...yeah. Sighing, I opened the back door to the house silently.
One human and one wolf were left in the house. The wolf let off a honey sort of smell, and I breathed it in deep, letting the sense warm my freezing body. He was upstairs also, but not with Lucy.
Chad was upstairs in my bedroom.
Slowly, I walked up the stairs. It was more like a glacial pace, but it seemed to go to slow. I wanted to see Chad, but I didn't really want to see him.
...What?
I wished I knew what I was thinking half the time.
Opening the door to my room, I saw that Chad lay, hands behind his head, on my bed. He stared up at the ceiling patiently, his breaths very deep. When I opened the door, he didn't say a thing. He just stared. And not at me.
But I stared at him. Oh, did I stare. I watched him watch the ceiling. My eyes scanned his body as I desperately waited for him to catch my eye. It had been far too long that I hadn't seen his face. The way his hair fell gently into his eyes adorably. The way I became ecstatic when I could feel his heat radiating from a mile away. I loved this guy. So why couldn't I marry him?
Finally he met my eye and my own widened. Not sure where to go, I was grateful when he sighed and patted the space next to him. I felt disturbed that he was inviting me onto my own bed, but I kept it to myself. Hesitantly I walked over to my own bed and sat right next to him but I was careful not to touch him.
When I lay my head back on my unnecessary pillow, he moved.
Fast.
His hand flew over my body as if to keep me pinned under him onto the bed. His body was following his movement, so in a second he was over me, his face coming toward mine fast.
Kissing him right now would be like lying to myself. So, I put my hands on his chest before he could go any closer. The amount of strength I used caused him to gasp slightly and stare at me as if to ask what was wrong.
"You left." I stated.
He sighed a huge sigh but didn't move. "Only for a week."
"And a half." I added on with a crinkle of my nose.
For some reason he was trying to hide a smile as her watched my face contort into one of innocence. "Yeah. Okay, a week in a half."
I was becoming angry with his casual, carefree tone of voice. "Where did you go?"
"Why?" He asked, exasperated.
"Why?" I pushed him off of me roughly. He had to move his hands away from me to keep from falling onto his back. I tried to keep my voice down so Lucy wouldn't wake. "What do you mean why? You left, which is exactly one of the reasons I said no to you."

His eyes widened as if he were surprised we would actually bring that up. I shook my head. "Chad," I bit my lip, but quickly took my teeth back. "I didn't know if you were ever coming back."

His expression softened and he opened his mouth to speak, but I beat him to it.

"No," I shook my head, cutting him off. "What if the next time you leave"- I grimaced- "you leave for a year? Or maybe two?"

"S-,"

" 'Oh, Sonny, I only left for a year.' What if you just decide to not come back? I didn't know. For a whole week, I had to pretend I was perfectly fine for Lucy and it's been horrible. Where did the rest of the vampires go? I couldn't leave Lucy to go find out. I had no one- where did you go?"

He shook his head. "Sonny," He was surprised when I didn't interrupt. "I... I know."

"What is it that you know, Chad."

Chad stared at me and tried to get me to lose the attitude. "I know how it feels when we're not together," He said sincerely, taking one of my hands in his. He let his other hand brush his fingers over my arm. They were extremely hot, and I shook softly. "Trust me, I do."

That's when I crumbled, I sighed and let the attitude go with the air. He noticed, and smiled gratefully. I fell back onto the pillows and put my hands over my face and groaned. "You hot jerk."

He chuckled. "Hmm," He nodded, leaning over me once again and I let him. His nose skimmed my jaw as he breathed in my scent. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sensation. "But this hot jerk loves you."

I whimpered at my poor attempt of resistance. "I'm going to need to practice my resistance." He smiled egotistically and I rolled my eyes, putting a finger to his chin and lifting his face to mine. I smiled, brushing his hair from his eyes and leaning in. "I love you, too."

When we kissed, I let out all of my longing for him for the past week and a half. I heard him sigh in contentment and I did the same. My fingers trailed to his neck and traced his collarbone as our lips moved in synchronization. He trembled, and gently pushed my chest back. I got the point and let his force push me lightly onto the pillows.

I lifted his shirt over his head slowly to reveal his perfectly toned torso.

Suddenly his lips were everywhere. On my neck, my collarbone, my face. He began to breathe heavily, and I let myself breathe because of the exhilaration. My lips parted in surprise when he bit down on my neck and I gasped. It was like we were both completely lost and never wanted to be found. My fingers tangled in his hair. After a few minutes of this, he reached for the hem of my shirt.

I was then jerked back into reality when I warm hand touched my stomach. My hand flashed to his and stopped him immediately.

"Chad," I shook my head as he stared up at me in confusion. "We can't do this again."

His lips connected with my neck once more. "Why not?" He growled.

"Chad, no." I pushed him off of me. "We really can't." Ignoring me once again, he crashed his lips on my own.

I was taken aback by the sense of longing and passion he delivered through this kiss. His hands captured my face and he wouldn't let me turn away from him. His tongue slid over my bottom lip and he kissed it once more tenderly, but then he sensed his own rejection and pulled away.

"You said we could," He mumbled, looking at the sheets of the bed that just suddenly became a lot more interesting then my eyes. "You said we could do again that one day in the forest."

I swallowed air. "And we can," I murmured. He looked up at me with some hope. "Just not tonight."

Chad looked so rejected and upset that I almost cried. But I didn't. I just let myself trail my hands over his stomach as I stared up at him.

"You hypocrite," He rolled his eyes with an embarrassed smile and pulled his shirt back on. I pouted, but then realized I was really being hypocritical. He stared at me with his mouth twisted to the side.

"What?" I whispered.

"Hmm," He faced me again. "Does this have to do with the whole Malexia situation?" He shivered violently in disgust.

Geez, those little life-ruiners!

My mood turned frustrated. "Everything has to do with them."

"Sonny," He sighed, and my heart actually moved when he said my name with such…love. "We can't keep waiting around like this. We need to prepare."

I just snapped. I couldn't take this anymore. These creeps were ruining my life!

"Okay," I said a tad bit too loudly. "I'm so done with this." I stood and walked to my closet, grabbing an unnecessary suitcase.

"What are you doing?" Chad asked me confusedly.

"You're right," I nodded as I stuffed another pair of jeans and a shirt in the bag and looked for other things I needed. "We can't keep waiting around for them like this. It's driving me insane. So," I finished the suitcase and zipped it up, looking up at the love of my life with the most determined expression I had ever had on my face.

"We're going to them."
