"Miss me?" came a familiar cold voice. I opened my eyes to see Rodney hovering over me, that stupid, evil smile plastered on his face. Mother f***er! I thought, kill me now! I quickly stood up and stared Rodney coldly in the eyes. "What are you doing here Rodney?" I asked coldly.

"What? Didn't little Hayleybear wanna see me?" he asked with a smart a** tone.

"No"

"Well, that almost hurts"

"Glad it does"

"What, you still mad at me?"

"Noooo"

"Don't be a b****"

"Oh" I could feel my eyes changing color and me starting to lose control (so this is what Ross felt like!) "You have no idea how b****y I can be" suddenly a wall appeared behind Rodney and I ran at him, grabbed him by the throat, and slammed him up against the wall. His eyes started changing from icy blue to blood red. "You're f***ing dead" he hissed at me. He flipped our situation and now I was the one who was being held against the wall by my throat. Ross! Where are you?! I kicked Rodney in the gut and he stumbled back through my doorway. I ran out and threw him over the railing to the floor below. I jumped down and almost landed on top of him but be moved at the last second so my feet his the floor and I collapsed with the force. I felt him throw a blow to the back of my head and I fell forward onto the ground. Rodney kicked me in the side and I was turned over. "Get up" he growled at me as he bent over to lift me off the floor. "I'm not done with you" I quickly kicked him in the face and jumped up to my feet. I was throwing punches and kicks faster and harder then I ever thought I was capable of. I picked him up and threw him through the window and it showed some vast universe beyond it... the inside of my mind. Rodney flew back in through the window and came at me, but I moved at the last second and he went crashing into the door. I ran over and picked him up by his throat and held him against the door. "Me? Dead? You really need to get over yourself Rodney" I said and threw a punch at his face.

I jolted upright on the bench and saw it was somewhere around midday already. Ross was sitting behind me, wide eyed and confused. "Ross! You said you'd wake me up if I started having a bad dream!" I shouted at him, getting really angry that he didn't. He held his hands up. "I tried Hayley, believe me! I shook you, I shouted your name, hell, I slapped you, and you know I'd never resolve to abusing you in any way unless it was completely necessary or a last result!" he answered. I rolled my eyes and walked inside and , no surprise, Ross followed. "What? You don't believe me?"

"Well, you promised you'd wake me up and you didn't so, not really"

"Hayley, I didn't want to admit it, and I still don't, but... you're stronger then me... your powers, your strength, everything! I think that's why I couldn't get you up!" I stopped dead in my tracks and turned back to him. "You're lying" I said skeptically.

"You wanna play the lie detector game? Go right ahead, if that'll make you stop being mad at me for something I had no control over, you go right ahead! I believe with everything in me right now that you are stronger than me!" I looked at how serious Ross seemed right now and could tell by his expression and tone alone that he wasn't lying to me. "But... how could I be stronger than you?"

"Hell if I know! I'm trying to figure that out for myself!... but I guess the greatest power is in the tiniest packages"

"I'm not that small"

"Well, I can look down at you so you're small to me!"

"Shut up" I said smiling and ran upstairs. I was in my room and locked the door. Ross tried the handle and then knocked on the door. "Yeah?" I answered looking through my closet for something to put on, just for the hell of it.

"Why's the door locked?" he asked in a slightly amused tone.

"I don't want you in here right now"

"And why not?"

"You're a vampire! You can fell where I am! Where am I?"

"Closet?"

"Yeah"

"Explains it"

"Exactly"

"Whatever" I could sense the adorable smile on Ross's face as he walked back into his own room. I found a cute, silky, blood red tank top, matching pants, fuzzy red bunny slippers, and cute little black sweater. I changed into it and then sat on my bed, listening to my iPod. The song 'Bring Me To Life' by: Evanescence came on. I smiled at the thought of when I was younger, my sister and I owned the Evanescence CD 'Fallen' and we would play 'Bring Me To Life' repeatedly and sing along as we did each other's hair and make-up... I had always know Adam was bad news... she never listened to me, and look where it got her... look where it got both of us actually... I mean... I'm not complaining... but I kinda wish I wasn't a vampire and that Ross wasn't either and that were were just a normal human couple instead of a vampire couple. I felt Ross outside my door again (trying to be annoying, huh Ross?). I paused my song and looked at the door. "Yeah?" I asked.

"Why you lock yourself in your room?" he asked. I looked at the lock and saw it flick to open the door.

"But I'm not" I answered innocently. He tried the door handle and opened the door. Once in he leaned against the wall, not taking his hand off the handle. "That innocent game isn't gonna work" he said smiling.

"Hey, it's worked so far!" I joked smiling back. He looked at the PJs I was wearing and then back at my eyes. "Sexy" he joked.

"You should know! You're the one who bought 'em!" I said sitting up and leaning on my knees. He rolled his eyes, walked over, grabbed my hand, and pulled me up off the bed and into his arms. "I know, doesn't mean you don't look sexy though" he said sweetly. I rolled my eyes and kissed him. After a while I pulled away slightly and kept my forehead on his. "My God do I love you" he said smiling, still with his eyes closed.

"As if I don't feel the same" I said kissing him again.
