Hayley's POV

I saw the hurt in Ross's eyes when I told him to bite me... I knew he didn't want to... but if he didn't then my evil sister would. I saw his fangs slide in and I knew this would hurt... but do I really have a choice in this situation? Ross hugged me and whispered "I'm soo sorry" and then I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I bit my bottom lip to keep myself from screaming and when he pulled away he wouldn't look at me. I could feel the venom running through my veins and that stung like when you get hand sanitizer on a cut... but this was a more of an under the skin type feel to it. I was starting to lose consciousness when I heard the door slam open and Kathy shout out my name. I couldn't see very well but I could feel ice under my hands as I blindly did something... and then I knew I was asleep. Once I got up I could see Ross on the ground next to me... not dead... only unconscious... I could hear his breathing. My throat was burning and my neck was killing me. I looked at my skin and saw I was white as a ghost. I saw blood smeared on the wall on a trail out the door... and I figured I must've hurt someone really badly. I reached over and shook Ross. "Ross?" I said quietly "Are you okay?" Ross immediately bolted upward.

"ADAM! DON'T KILL ME!"he shouted.

"What?" I asked. Ross looked over at me.

"Hayley? What happened?"

"Adam and Kathy are gone... and you're fine... I think" He reached up and felt my cheek

"Holy s*** Hayley! You're cold as me... and you're completely pale!"

"No duh, I mean, that's what all vampires are like... aren't they?" his eyes widened.

"Kathy bit you?!"

"No Ross, you did!... How hard did you hit your head?" I asked standing up and offering him my hand. Ross grabbed my hand and I helped him with ease.

"I bit you? Why would I do that?"

"I told you to... but you were really reluctant to do so" Ross reached up and put a hand on the back of his head and winced. I walked behind him and saw a huge scar down the back of his head. I ran a finger down it and frowned. "Ross?" I asked. He turned to me.

"It bad?"

"It's a scar"

"Scar?"

"Do you think you know how you got it?"

He thought for a second and saw a look of terror come across his face "Ssss***!" he said starting to get angry. "What? What happened Ross?"

"I ever mentioned some guy named Rodney?"

"You've never mentioned anyone but your friends... speaking of which... where are they?" I asked racing out into the hallway to look for them. Ross was right out behind me. I was through the house in a matter of seconds and didn't find them anywhere. I got back to Ross who was looking out my window. I walked over behind him. "You've got to be f***ing kidding me" I heard him grumble to himself.

"Who? What?" I asked him. Ross turned to me. His hardened expression softened when he saw the concern on my face. He stood up straight and looked at me. "Nothing... don't worry about it...it's fine" he assured me... he's lying to me.

"You know how you told me that it's pointless lying to a vampire?" I questioned.

"Yeah, so?"

"You're right... it's pointless lying to a vampire" I said motioning to myself. He smiled that cute little shy smile he uses sometimes. "You know you can be really annoying, right?"

"That's why you love me!" Ross chuckled at that.

"Got that right" he said and walked over and kissed me. I pulled back after a little bit and looked into his eyes. "What's wrong?" I asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Nothing Hayls, calm down" he reassured me. He tried to kiss me again and I backed up which made him stumble forward. "Gotta be faster then that!" I taunted and ran out of the room.

"Are we seriously playing this game?!" I heard Ross shout from my room.

"What? Scared you're not fast enough?" I shouted from the foyer.

"No, I know that I can... but do you really want to play this game? I know this house a lot better than you do"

"I'm sure!" and I started running again. I could hear Ross's footsteps at light speed and I knew where he would be before he even got there. I managed 20 minuets before he got me. I was running past the living room entrance and he came through the doorway and threw his arms around my stomah and spun me around before he sat down on the couch, refusing to let me go. I was laughing and trying my best to undo his locked hands, but to no avail. "Alright! I give! You're hurting me!" I said. Ross put me down next to him and I reached up and kissed him. (We're way too childish for our own good). I pulled back some time later and looked him straight in the eyes. "Ross... what's going on?"

"Hayley, I don't know what you're talking about! Everything's fine!" I locked his eyes and froze him, he was pissing me off now because I wanted to know what the f*** was going on. "I'll ask you one more time Ross... what's going on?"
