Hey people, make sure to rate and message me with your opinions, your comments could change the entire story!!

We were sitting in my house, just staring at each other, he had made a couple comments about how my house was truly gothic while looking at the coffin coffee table I had custom made for me. Everything else was pretty much red, black, pink, white, or wood that I couldn't paint.

I was sitting in the red love-seat, just waiting for him to talk. Quickly he rose from the red recliner and began pacing in the room.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked, I mean he was freaking out.

"Is there something wrong." he said in almost a whisper. "Of course there's something wrong! Your life is in danger...and it's my fault. It's my fault." He turned and looked me full on in the eyes. "I'm so sorry, I never meant for this to happen."

"What did you think was going to happen?" I asked sidetracked. "You knew what you were, and what your proximity to me would cause." I stopped, my voice was getting a little too loud.

"Yes, but they didn't know that. And you didn't know that I was...what I am, so there would be no problem."

"Did you ever plan to tell me?" I asked softly.

"I'm not sure, I knew I would have to, sooner or later. Or I could have simply left." He walked up to me...slowly, and sat down on the open spot on the loveseat.

"Mika, in all my years of life. Which is saying something, you're the only thing that I have found that I've ever wanted to protect." he said. He reached out to touch my cheek but I pulled away.

"Kain, I...I'm happy that you feel this way. But...I need to know, what's going to happen?"

"Zane...the one who attacked you, and that girl. He told them that you saw me, and that I didn't kill you. Anyone who finds out about us, they either die, or get changed. This I would not do unless you wanted it." He looked away, and then back at me. His fist pounded against the table, and he sprang up from his seat. "But I can't just go and leave you unprotected."

"Kain..." He was still pacing around my living room, he didn't appear to have heard me.

"Kain." I said a little louder, this time I caught his attention.

"Is there anyway...for us to both make it out of this, just the way we are now?" I asked, not really sure if I wanted to hear the answer.

"Wait, Mika. I really haven't been completely truthful with you to this point." he said.

'There's more?" I asked disbelief coloring my voice.

"Just about me..." Awaited for him to continue. "I'm king of all the vampires, and I ran away, came here, and enrolled in your school. I couldn't take it. They kept forcing me to choose a bride." he looked at me then. "I couldn't do it, I didn't understand why...now I know."

"Why?" I asked, wanting the answer.

"I didn't pick one, and I ran away...so that I could meet you." he said. Then something clicked in my head. A way out. Simple, and not that bad.

"They want you to pick a bride?" I asked slowly.

"Yeah, but I couldn't, I never-"

"At this point would it matter much to them who it was?" I asked.

"No, I don't think that that would be a problem..." he said.

"There's our way out." I said simply.

"I'm sorry I don't really understand."

I swallowed, and looked at him, my gothic prince-king charming. I knew this would work, but only if he wanted it to.

"Take me as your bride." I said slower.

He didn't say anything at first, but he did stop moving around like a mad man to stare at me.

"What did you say?" he asked.

"Take me as your bride, they can't overthrow that kings decision, if you want me to remain human, they probably can't overthrow that either." I said excitedly.

"You don't know what you're asking for!" he said angrily.

"I do!" I yelled back. "I understand perfectly." I muttered. "There's no other way. You're the king, you have to go back sooner or later, and when you do I'd be left alone...right? So you can take me with-"

"That's not what I meant, I know you know that will work. But you have no idea what it's like there. It's no place for a human. You couldn't survive there, even if you wanted to. The very air would be like poison."

"So then change me." I said.

"...what?" he said.

'The only problem here is that I'm a human...right? So make it so I'm not. Problem solved." I stated.

"You're asking for this?" he said bewildered.

"Yes, I am. Kain it's the only way that makes sense." I said defeated.

"I think you're right." He said looking away.

We were silent, now that I knew my fate, I wasn't sure what would happen after this, if he would want me to be his bride still or not. But this, this would save my life. Give me a new one.

"Where do you want to do this?" I asked.

"Not right now." he said

"Not right now? Zane's out there right now, looking for us, it won't be long until he comes here to look. The place that I was in the beginning."

"Not yet." He said again.

"Well, what do you propose I do? My own home isn't safe." I said.

He turned his stare at me.

"Then I'll stay here with you." he said simply.

"Wait...what? Stay here?"

"Well it's the only way that makes sense." he said with a crooked smile.

I knew things were about to get allot more interesting.

Stay with me here It's getting better!!
