The Troubles Of Loving Elijah

Chapter 3

The men from my dream took a seat amongst the others and immediately stood out. Their attire putting the others to shame. I knew who they were and by the looks of it, I was no stranger to them either. Which only meant it hadn't been a dream, it actually happened... That meant the men weren't men... They were vampires! The one with the yellow hair winked at me while the other with long dark hair smiled. We ate in silence but I could see the amusement on the two's faces. While I ate I couldn't help but see him for what he was, I knew and it made me feel uneasy. I dropped my silverware onto the unfinished plate breaking the silence.
"Excuse me," I said leaving the dinner table. I stepped outside in the chilled wind and took deep breaths. Moments later the one with the yellow hair followed me outside.
"What is your name?" He asked trying to start a conversation.

I sat on my bed facing the doorway. I blinked, then there was my savior. He stood in the doorway, he leaned into the wood blocking the opening.
"Who are you?" I asked with a smile, that made him smile.
"I'm Elijah," he introduced. I stood up and met Elijah in the doorway.
"You saved me this afternoon, and I assume you did some housework," He simply nodded and let me continue."Why did you save me?" I asked. Elijah avoided the question."If you shall not answer me that, answer me this, why did you come tonight?" I asked. Then, Elijah pulled me into him, his hands on my waist then moved them up to my face and lead me into a gentle kiss. I closed my eyes savoring the moment and when I opened them he was gone but the feeling of his lips remained
