Hayley's POV
I woke up in Ross's room some time later and noticed the new weight of something on my neck. "My mother's old necklace" Came Ross's vice from behind me. I quickly whipped around and saw him kneeling next to the bed.
"2 questions... Why'd you give me the necklace? and Why are we in your room?" I asked getting a bit of an 'This isn't what I think it was' smile on my face.
"It's an amulet that will protect you from vampires that it sees at threatening you and no, Hayley, this isn't what your dirty little mind thinks this is" he said smiling and dropped back, now sitting on the floor. I reached up and felt the necklace and looked at Ross. "Thank you, but you don't have to give me this" I said feeling so bad that he does so much for me, but yet I seem to do nothing for him.
"Yes I do, I'm not letting ANYONE get their hands on you... and don't worry about it, you being here with me is enough" he said... he obviously just read my thoughts. Hey Ross! I HATE it when you read my thoughts! Stay in your own head! "But your thoughts are much more interesting" he said, still smiling.
"Oh shut up" I said and threw a pillow at him. He let it hit him, probably just so I would feel accomplished... and trust me... I did. Ross then disappeared from in front of me and I could feel his weight on the other side of the bed. I turned and saw him sitting on the other side of the bed smiling at me. "Will you stop making me feel insignificant with your magical vampire powers?" I asked.
"No" he said simply. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room. I walked downstairs and went into the living room. I went and sat on the couch before I turned myself around and threw my feet over the top of the couch and just laid there upside down, letting the blood rush to my head.
