Chapter 2
When we got back to Whaley house, I fell asleep as soon as my foot touched the back porch step. Daniel caught me in his arms.
I woke up in a bed with Emmett at my feet. At first I thought it had all been a dream, and then my stomach growled and I had a terrible thirst for blood. I got up and looked around, there was Daniel reading a book.
“Oh, good you’re up. Are you hungry?” he asked me with a smile.
“Yeah, I’m starved. What do you have to eat?” I asked.
“For breakfast we have pancakes, bacon, and eggs. And to drink what ever you want.”
“The food part sounds good, and I’m sure you know what I want to drink.” The last part disgusted me, but I was pretty sure I probably needed blood to survive anyways.
“I’m glad you haven’t rejected blood like most new vampires do, it may seem disgusting at first thought, but you’ll like it. It keeps you going.”
He went to another room, and came back with a pitcher. “It’s not fresh, but it’s still good.” He poured me a glass, my stomach growled at the sight of the blood. He laughed at my growling stomach; I blushed then started to laugh with him.
After we stopped laughing, I started to eat my breakfast. After I was done Daniel told me we had to leave Whaley house.
“Why do we have to leave so soon?” I asked confused.
“Because everyone well be looking for you.”
“Oh. So when are we leaving?” I asked
“Huh? Are you eager to leave or something?” He asked confused.
“The longer were here, the hared it well be to leave.” I said cause I knew it was true.
“Oh, I didn’t think about it like that.” Daniel said thoughtfully.
So the next day we moved out. Daniel said we were to be going to a house that he owned; it was out in the country. I was so excited I loved the country; it was so beautiful out there to me.
On the way there Daniel told me all the laws that vampires have, for one vampire never drink from kids, he said that children’s blood was too sweet. Of course when I asked him about sunlight, he laughed at me. I looked at him puzzled about why he was laughing, finally after he stopped he explained that we could go out in sunlight, it was just that most vampires preferred the night because you could see the stars. Also we didn’t live forever we only aged one twentieth of the human years.
Finally after a week of traveling we got to the house. It was the most beautiful house I had ever seen. It was a two story house with a huge garden that was over flowing with flowers.
“Oh Daniel it’s beautiful.” I said awed.
“Isn’t it. This one is my favorite; I hoped you would like it.” He said to me with a warm smile on his face.
We walked up to the doors and walked in. “You can chose your room, you can have anyone you like.” He said.
I looked at him puzzled, I had gotten use to sleeping with Daniel since the trip we always slept on an air bed, with Daniel on one side and Emmett on the other.
He laughed at my expression, I blushed. “Of course if you wish to sleep with me that is cool.” There was still laughter in his golden brown eyes.
So, Daniel took me to his room that he always used. It looked out over the back garden, and had a balcony. I stepped out on to the balcony and looked out at the garden, with the sun setting it looked even more beautiful than before.
“Wow, this is so beautiful, I’m so glad that we came here.”
The next couple of days we just slept, we were so exhausted, well at least I was. I faintly remember Daniel getting up from the bed a couple of times, but that’s about it.
When I really woke up it was sundown. Daniel was standing on the balcony looking at the horizon, but I wasn’t sure what was out in the horizon that would be of interest even if he could see for miles and miles out. Vampires have incredible vision.
I walked soundlessly over to him and put my chin on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around him. “What cha looking at, Daniel?” I asked as he turned around and gave me a hug back.
“Nothing I was just in deep thought, that’s all.” He said in an honest tone, through I could still see that something was bothering him. I had been with Daniel long enough that he couldn’t hide his feelings very well around me.
I gave a big yawn, and after I did that Daniel carried me back over to the bed and a sleeping Emmett. “You need to feed, other wise you’ll get to weak to even open your eyes.” He said in a worried tone,
He was right of course, if a vampire didn’t feed after a couple of weeks they grow weak and die, we absolutely had to feed on human blood; we couldn’t live in just animal blood. “Come we have cows for when we need to feed, but we’ll still going to have to go hunting tonight, other wise you’ll die.”
So after I fed on some cow blood, I took a shower and got dressed for a night of hunting. Daniel and I had worked up a plan that always worked, see we would go to a club, Daniel wearing a baggie white shirt and baggie blue jeans, me wearing a slinky red dress that had spaghetti straps and showed a lot of my cleavage, and was sure to make any guy looking at me. So it would go that we would go walking in the bar together and then we would have a big fight and go over to different parts of the room, then when unsuspecting guys came over to comfort me I would flirt would one and we’d dance until he insisted that we go in the back to and I let him take me there and when we got there I would knock him out and feed then ditch him. When Daniel saw me come out he would excuse himself from the group of woman that would surround him and go find the guy I had fed from and feed for himself, then we’d both leave.
So after we had fed that night we went back home, I was feeling pretty good now that I had had some human blood. I looked at Daniel who was holding my hand, he was in deep thought. I gave him a kiss on the check, which I rarely did, that got him out of whatever thought was occupying his mind. “What was that for?” He said confused.
I giggled, “Do I have to have a reason every time I kiss you?” I asked still giggling.
“No, it’s just you don’t do that often, that’s all.” He said embarrassed.
“Humm… What if I did this?” I kissed him on the lips, and then started to run. Of course he caught me, but it did take him a second to come out of his daze that I had put him in. Anyways, as soon as he caught me he lifted me up in his arms and spun around, then fell back into the dewy grass.
When we had finally stopped laughing, he easily picked me up and spun me around so that our faces were facing each other. Then he kissed me, it was a sweet and passionate kiss that lasted until we were out of air.
He smiled at me, I smiled at him. “You’ve never kissed me before like that.” I said softly into his ear as I lay my face on the front of his shirt.
“Correction, I’ve never kissed you on the lips before, but you did kiss me back. So that was even better, oh and you’re a great kisser by the way.” He said with a smile in his voice and on his face.
I could fell the heat rise to my checks. He chuckled, then kissed my forehead. I wasn’t sure how long we were out there, but before sunrise we got up and walked back to the house.
As soon as we got there, we changed our clothes and laid in bed together, but we soon both fell asleep not even five minutes after we had got into bed.
The next night, I woke before Daniel. So I put a robe on and went out into the garden. It was so peaceful out there with the birds chirping and the fountains bubbling. I heard a bark and looked behind me, and there came Emmett, his tail wagging looking so happy.
“Come here Emmett, here boy!” I called to my silly puppy.
All of a sudden Emmett started to bark real furiously, like the time that stalker tried to kidnap me, and he attacked the man, and saved me. I turned around and there was a guy there, I jumped up and spun around to face the intruder. He hopped the little rock wall, he looked to be about six feet tall, with reddish brown hair, very muscular, and worst of all he smelled like dog.
“Hi there.” He said with a smile on his face, “you look like you just got out of bed.” He said with that smile on his face.
“Why should you care. You’re private property, so get out of here!” I angrily told him.
“Ooo…testy aren’t we.” He said in a mockingly tone.
I glared at him with his smirk on his face.
“Cameron what the hell you doin’ here?” I was relived to here Daniel’s voice, but there was a hint of a smile in his voice.
“Hey Daniel! Heard you were in town, so I decided to stop by. Didn’t know that you had found your self a girl.” Cameron said and winked at me, I blushed.
“Katherine, this flea bag is Cameron, he’s a werewolf.”
I looked at Cameron, shock pretty plane on my face. They both laughed at my expression.
“Ok, so he’s a werewolf, any other friends of yours, any zombies or mummies?” I asked in a sarcastic way. That got them both into a fit of laughter.
When they finally stopped Daniel said, “No, there’s just Cameron the werewolf and the rest are just vampires.”
“So, how ya like being a vampire?” Cameron asked me, he had an even bigger smile on his face than before.
“It’s really good actually. I’m much more athletic than before, I can run a mile without getting tired.” I said truthfully.
“That doesn’t surprise me, you vampires have it easy, you don’t transform every time your emotions get out of control. And believe me we werewolves aren’t very good with our emotions when we first transform.” said Cameron.
“Yeah he’s right about that, one day we had a really big fight, he transformed and attacked me. Finally his dad broke us apart.” They smiled at each other, thinking back to that time.
“Well why don’t we go in, and have something to eat.” So we walked into the house.
While Cameron and Daniel caught up on things, I sat there thinking about last night. I hadn’t known what had come over me. It confused me, I mean I liked Daniel, but I had never let him kiss me on the lips. Was I falling in love with Daniel? The very person who had ruined my life, was I falling for him? So many questions and no answers. I knew in the very back of my mind I was falling for Daniel, but I just didn’t want to admit it.
Daniel was just my friend, and that was all he was ever be, I told myself.
“Katherine! Katherine!”
“Huh.” I woke from my daze, “What?”
“Didn’t you here Cameron? He asked if we would like to go over to his place for a party him and his brother’s are throwing.” Daniel told me, he had a smile on his face that told me he knew that I had been daydreaming.
“Sure, it’ll be the first party since my birth…day” when I said this I started to get teary eyed. Then started to cry, I bawled like a little baby. Daniel tried to comfort me, it helped a little.
“I’m sorry you had to see me cry Cameron.”
“It’s ok.”
“You see Cameron; her dad was killed on her birthday less than two months ago.”
“That’s sad, I’m sorry for your loss Katherine.” Said Cameron sadness in his eyes.
That night was pretty fun, it turned out that all of Cameron’s brother’s were just his pack members. There was Trent, Rico, Cody, Ben. They were all very nice. Trent was about 5’9, had dirty blond hair, and very muscular. Rico was 6’0, had black hair, and was also very muscular. Cody was 5’7, had blond hair, and again was very muscular. Ben was the shortest at 5’5, he had roan hair, but he was wiry and thin.
The party was great fun; I flirted with most of the human boys. Daniel looked as if he would rip the throats of any one who even tried to make a move on me. It was hilarious, he frowned the whole party. Finally I got tired of his grim face, so I went over to him and said, “You’re sitting over here being a grump, instead of asking me to dance.”
That got a smile on his face; he got up and asked me to dance. We danced the rest of the night together. Finally the party was over, I offered to help clean up, but Rico told us they could do it.
So Daniel and I headed home, on the way it was silent. Finally I couldn’t take the silence any more. “What’s wrong with you? You haven’t said a word since we left. Did I do something to make you mad at me? Tell me what’s wrong Daniel.” I was on the verge of tears; I hated people to be mad at me.
He looked at me, anger in his eyes, but when he saw the tears, his eyes changed to sympathy. “Don’t cry Katherine, I hate it when you cry.” He wiped away a tear that had started to roll down my check. “I could never stay mad at you, I love you.”
I finally got my crying under control. Daniel had me in his arms still trying to comfort me, when we heard an eerie laugh.
“Daniel you’re still so soft. I don’t know why your father thought living out in the human world would harden you up.” Said a voice.
Daniel snarled, “What do you want you rat? I don’t know what you’re hiding from, come out here and face me Ryan.”
