Sorry foe the late update, Fanficiotners! I've been busy with a couple things. But let's not worry about that.

Disclaimer: Don't own SWAC.

I'd like to thank ChAnNyObSeSsEd for inspiring me to sit down and right again! (Did I get the capitals right?) Haha. Anyways- ON TO THE STORY.

A sigh escaped her lips as I let go of her. It was one of longing and disappointment, but I wasn't giving in. I was going to Rome with her whether she likes it or not.

"Chad." She looked at me. "Don't you love me?"

"Not if you don't let me go." I smiled at her.

She threw her hands up exasperatedly. "No. We're getting nowhere with this. There's…There's actually something else I need to talk to you about."

"What?" I exclaimed, eager for a new subject.

"It's Lucy." Sonny shook her head. "She can't live with me and…well, she can't live with me and be a part of my life without being a part of our life."

I was silent. Then I said, "Huh?"

"It's going to be impossible to keep her oblivious to the fact of what we are- what I am." She grimaced, as if she still hadn't accepted the fact that she was a bloodsucker. But a very beautiful one at that. She continued, "Should I…you know…"

"I'm not sure." I answered honestly.

"One day," She sighed. "One day we're going to slip. I might hug her too hard or move too fast or…or…any planned is doomed from the start. And if this crush on Collin grows any bigger she's going to freak and we'll have to tell her."

"She doesn't have a crush on him," I shrugged. "She just thinks he's really hot. Every teenage girl would think me or Collin were hot."

She rolled her eyes. "She can't go back to Wisconsin. She's going to have to stay. And if she finds out what we are while she's still human, she'll go ballistic and probably call the cops. We're screwed from the start."

I sighed. "You can't change her. It's illegal."

Her eyes flashed. "You're telling me there're laws for us? What's so wrong with changing her?"

"The law's pretty recent- there was a crazy vampire who's bloodlust was kind of out of hand. He believed to change all the humans because they weren't good enough for this place- he believed the world was meant for the stronger species only. He wanted to either kill or change them all. He tried and killed a ton of people."

She shivered then stared. "So…"

"So," I sighed. "You cannot change a human being into a vampire- or a wolf for that matter- without a very good reason. Those reasons being because they are a threat of exposure, they are the ones exposed to it or because they…well, anything that can harm your species."

She rolled her eyes as if I were so naïve. "The answer's simple- I'll just tell her that we—"

"You cannot inform a human being of your blood type or expose them to your clan."

She sighed. "But what if—"

"No."

Pursing her lips, Sonny shook her head. "We have to find a loophole. She has to find out someway. She has to…"

I shrugged. "You could do it. You'd just be giving the Malexia another reason to slaughter you."

She winced.

"Sorry," I murmured. "That wasn't very sensitive."

"Our species aren't sensitive, Chad. I'm sick of this. I'm leaving. You're not. Goodbye."

"Sonny—"

"What!"

Silence. The soft breathing and a heartbeat that belonged only to a human played a sensual song through our minds, and the beating reminded me of life. It reminded me of my own heartbeat, which beat only for Sonny. And hers was just there in her chest for me. So why did she want to take herself away form me so badly?

"If you go alone you're sure to die. You have no backup, no allies out there. They'll kill you immediately, good reason or not. No reason at all."

"I'm going alone. If you'd like to follow, follow."

"Sonny, wait just a minute." She grabbed her bag. "Sonny." She picked up her cell phone off the counter. "Jesus God, Sonny, stop it!"

She finally stopped moving and stared at me. "What."

I walked up to her and grabbed the bag out of her hand. "If you want to go alone…" My jaw hardened and I couldn't believe I was saying this. "I'll let you go." Her eyes widened. "But…" I put the bag on the ground and pulled her phone out of her pocket, letting it fall to the ground. "You're not leaving before you say goodbye."

She rolled her eyes. "Goodbye, Chad."

"Say goodbye appropriately."

Sonny sighed. It was almost hesitant as she wrapped her arms around my neck. When she leaned in, I couldn't help the small smile that was on my face. She touched her lips to mine softly, as if she wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. Did she not know me well enough to realize I always wanted this? I wrapped my arms around her and gave the kiss everything I had. I kept it slow and as sweet as possible. When I pulled away for just a second, I saw her brow furrow as if she were confused, interested in this kind of feeling that I had created within her. I wanted to kiss her forever, and hold her and let her know that I loved her and I wasn't exactly ready to let her go and practically let her die. I pulled her in again, her cold lips bleeding into mine as I held her close.

Her soft sigh was noticeable, of course, to me. Victoriously, I smiled into the kiss and nibbled on her lower lip. She kissed me easily, habitually. I didn't like this- I wanted to surprise her, make her want me more. Resisting her expectations, I cupper her face with my hands and kissed her a little more deeply. Her body stopped leaning away, ready to leave. She leaned into me now, giving herself to me.

Little did she know, that's exactly what I wanted right now.

It became a little more passionate, a little deeper, a little hotter. I let my hands roam her body as I wished, and hers stayed firmly in my hair, daring me to pull away from her. After a couple minutes of this, my fingers made their way to the belt loops on her jeans, pulling her more fully onto my body. Her silent moan seemed to echo throughout the room, and I took that to boost my confidence even more.

I began to back up, pulling her with me by her belt loops. She was confused, wondering what I was doing, but continued to kiss me just the same. As I bent down and sat on the bed, slowly pulling her atop me. My back met the soft sheets, and the force between us pulled her down with me. She seemed oblivious to the change in position, too lost in the kiss too notice. I kept it soft, took it slow.

But right when I thought I could get away with it and reached for he hem of her shirt, my hot fingers brushing her freezing skin, her lips stopped moving with mine. She stopped for just a second, processing my actions and the tone of voice I had used earlier.

"Chad, n—"

"Shh," I sighed in ecstasy as the feeling of her body against mine slowly drove me insane. I kissed her lips, quieting her for the moment.

"We can't, Chad. We—"

Why was it so hard to keep her hooked? Determined, I began to kiss her a little more eagerly.

"Come on, Sonny." I groaned. "I'm yours."

Those words seemed to make her a little more into what was happening. I kept my hands busy with making her happy, making her want this as much as I did right then. As she responded to the kiss again, I couldn't help myself- I let out a moan full of longing and bliss. At the sound she responded eagerly, kicking her flats off and climbing on the bed with me. She began to try and take control, kissing me fiercely. Her hands came up in a flash to unbutton the buttons on my shirt. After what felt like two seconds, every single one had been undone and her hands were roaming my chest. I got too worked up- too caught up in the moment. I rolled us over, scooting her onto the pillows and kissing her eagerly.

"Chad." She said, pushing me away. "No. No, no, no."

"Sonny," I whined softly as my hand went up and down her thigh as light as a feather. "You promised we could again. You promised."

I kissed her ferociously. The loud groan I got from her was making me crazy with a longing I'd never really felt before. She seemed torn between something- but I wasn't sure what it was.

"Chad. I-I…" Sonny stopped moving and let out a big breath and let out a big breath, but didn't push me away.

Sighing, I realized I wasn't really respecting her space. I stopped my hands- regrettably- and put my hands on either side of her face and watched her.

"What is it, Sonny?" I said.

"I…I'm scheduling the flight for tomorrow. You can come, but you're not going underground with me. You're not going to be in the same room and Lucy has to come because she can't be here by herself."

My face was probably glowing. My eyes widened in shock and I smiled huge. Without helping it I kissed her again softly.

"Thank you," I said seriously. As I stroked her cheek, I whispered, "I love you."

She smiled. "I love you, too. You're lucky I'm in a good mood right now."

"Mmm," is all I said as I stared at her with a smile. Her eyes darkened with a lust I loved to see in those eyes and she smiled at me. With one more soft kiss, I stared into her eyes as she nodded at me as if giving me permission. Without breaking the gaze I grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head, ready to once again give myself to her for hours in complete bliss.

I just needed her one more time…just in case our confrontation with the Malexia went…wrong.

My bare body lay under the sheets, cold, yet hot and tired. Chad held me tight against him as his head lay on my chest as he slept soundly. I ran my fingers through his hair repeatedly, and he had fallen asleep hours ago. It being five in the morning, I couldn't help myself. I needed to hunt. Desperately. It was extremely irresponsible of me to not have hunted frequently with Lucy in the house. I can't believe this. I focused on Chad's arm around me, his whole body right against mine, and I tried to close my eyes and relax. I took a deep breath. Once again, the smell of the salty blood filled my nose, filling my senses and my whole body. It consumed me even more powerfully than Chad had tonight. I gasped, letting the taste flow over my tongue and sighing at the taste. I yearned to find out how it would really taste on my taste buds, flowing through my throat and into my body. The thought ran through my mind several times, and I pictured myself brushing Lucy's hair to expose her neck and sinking my teeth into her breakable skin.

That's all it took to get me to slowly move out from under Chad, moving the pillow under his head. I quickly pulled my clothes from the floor and put them on. My breathing was deep. I could feel my senses becoming defenseless as I let the smell in the air course through my veins. Chad's breathing was still deep beside me, and I knew he was still sleeping. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a really long time, so I was safe.

But the human wasn't.

My mind was going blank. My head was swirling with the scent that coursed through me. I was going insane with the smell and I was already out the door. I walked slowly, my anxiety making me paranoid. I yearned for her blood as my throat burned and a low growl escaped my lips. One wrong move and that werewolf would be up and trying to protect the human.

I remembered what Chad had said about the man who wanted all the humans gone. Changed into vampires or dead. I thought about that for as long as I walked down the hallway, seeming much longer than it actually was. I smiled, wondering aimlessly about the taste of Lucy's blood, that salty flavor of a human I'd never experienced before. The longing I'd felt was different than the longing I had felt with Chad. I compared the two feelings as I opened the door silently.

Little did I know, the soft click of the door had clicked on the werewolf's senses, and his eyes had snapped open.

As I saw the human's body clearly in the darkness, the only light the moonlight pouring in through the windows, I smiled mischievously. I pictured her though the man's eyes, tortured by the cold man and dead, the body mangled and bloody.

I gasped loudly, and my head seemed to clear for only a moment. That human was Lucy- Lucy, my best friend, Lucy. The beautiful girl lay on her side, her hair sprawled about the pillow and her neck clearly exposed as if taunting me. The air settled on my lips and I sighed, her precious blood that I had fought to keep pulsing through her veins calling to me. I growled ferociously, staring at her, feeling as though inside two things were fighting each other- who I was and what I was. I gripped the side of the dresser as I stared, watching her neck move up and down as she breathed and the salty goodness pulsed through her. Something in me snapped, and I shot toward the girl, my senses focused only on the tasty meal which was oblivious to my murderous feelings.

I was grabbed by my torso and pushed against the ground roughly. This caused a soft thud, thanks to the thick carpet. The sweet, almost floral smell filled my nose, blocking me from the human. I immediately lashed out, and the werewolf encountered as if he knew exactly what I was going to do. Chad straddled me, trying to keep me down and quiet as I fought. He sighed as I continued to struggle against him, not being able to hold me fully down. I got one of my legs free. And with that leg I was tossed through the doors and down the stairs. The feeling of weightlessness touched me as I flew through the air and smack down on the couch. Not a second later he was on me, his hand over my mouth and nose and he stared into my eyes.

"Sonny!" He whispered urgently.

I struggled, kicking him hard in the sides with my knees as I tried to break free. I was weak. No blood for the few days was making me weak. As I realized this, I stopped moving and let him stare straight into my eyes. He nodded, finally thinking I was stable. I did not breathe at all, the smell of his hand pulling me back as if I were waking up from some bad dream. I nodded to assure him, and then he grabbed my hand, pulling me out to the back door.

And as he whipped me forward by my hand, it was the extra boost I needed to sprint through the forest and track down the animal I had just plotted. I ran far, far away from him and the juicy, salty, tasty meal I call my best friend.

I was going to change her.

Soon.
