Hayley's POV

I watched Ross walk over to the booth and then there was a voice behind me. "Hey there, saw you standing here alone and thought I'd come say hi" I turned around and saw a guy that seemed about 17 or 18, spiky black hair that was gelled up, bright green eyes, pale skin, and a little lightning bolt shaped scar on the outside corner of his right eye. He was a few inches taller than me so I had to look up at him, he was really muscular, and something about him just set off an alarm that he wasn't gonna be easy to brush off. "If you're over here trying some stupid pick-up shtick then just turn around and walk away" I said straightly. HE just got a smarta** smirk on his face.

"Hard to get, I'm not that easy to brush off... I'm Ryan Kollings, who are you"

"That isn't important, because you're not gonna know me for very long" I was starting to lose my temper and I wanted to slap this boy right about now, but I was controlling myself because if Ross came back anytime soon, I wouldn't want him to lose control himself.

"Oh C'mon, a pretty girl like yourself shouldn't be standing out here by herself, did your date ditch you?"

"Who said I was alone here?"

"Well you're standing over here and I don't see any boyfriend coming over here and stopping me from talking to you"

"Just walk away" I said and turned to walk to Ross but he grabbed my arm and turned me towards him.

"I don;t think you get that I'm not told no" I saw his eyes flicker and wasn't sure if I saw a color change, so I couldn't go all vampire on him yet.

"Well there's a first time for everything, and I happen to be your first no, now you either let go in the next 3 seconds or you're not gonna like what comes next"

"Do you really think I'm scared of you?"

"You don't know what I'm capable of"

"Really? Then what are you capable of?"

"More than you could imagine, now let go of me you stupid mother f***er"

"No"

"1"

"You don't scare me"

"2"

"You can try to intimidate me but it ain't working"

"Well, why don't you take your hand off my girlfriend and walk the f*** away?" came Ross'sextremely annoyed voice from behind him. We both looked in his direction and saw Ross holing a huge thing of blue cotton candy (blue is my favorite color) and I saw his eyes flickering back and forth at light speed between rogue red and brown. I felt Ryan let go of my arm and put his hands up. "Hey man, sorry, didn't know she had someone here with her!" and he walked away, but not before winking back at me. Ross handed me the cotton candy and grabbed my other hand. I felt a shape pain in my hand but didn't care because I was just about as close as he was to killing that dude. After about another hour we walked out of the fair and out to the car and Ross seemed on top of the world now that we were finally out of there, away from all the people with the fresh blood coursing through their veins. We got back to the car and Ross turned me toward him before I could open my door and get in. "Thank you" he said.

"For what?" I asked, not really knowing what I should be thanked for.

"Keeping me sane in there"

"Please, you would have done the same if it was me"

"True, but I wouldn't have been as effective"

"Says who?"

"Says me"

"Well I'm telling you you're wrong"

He rolled his eyes and went to kiss me but I turned my head and he ended up kissing my cheek. He moved back and looked at me confusedly. "I just want to get home, I have this creepy feeling like someone's watching us" he nodded unsurely and we got in the car, but before we rolled out of the parking lot I caught a glimpse of a tall figure leaned on the side of the small brick building near the exit.
