Rose's P.O.V
I held my fear back and let my laughter escape. His eyes almost looked pleading.
However, his mouth was curved into a devilish grin. My mind filled with doubt, what if he was telling me the truth? My whole body shuddered at the thought.
Bravely, I decided to humor him. "And if I were to say I believed you?" This question, seemed to take him off guard, but was gone as soon as it appeared.
"I would say you’re a liar, but I can promise you'll believe after tonight." He stated matter-of-factly. His eyes intensified as they traveled down the length of my body. As he looked at me, my own thoughts ran wild, swallowing me whole. I was stirred from them by the shuffle of his feet. I watched as he leaned against the counter causing his muscles to ripple under his shirt. A new wave of disbelief passed over me. Not only did I believed him, but I knew he wasn't going to hurt me or he would have already. This whole situation caused my head to pound. I needed air, so I walked to the kitchen window and opened it. Leaning my head out to feel the cold breeze land on my face. From over my shoulder, I glanced at him again. Finally, I swallowed my fear and asked. "Why are you
here?" I asked. Deciding not to give him time to answer, I turned around to face
him. "Wait, let me guess, to finish the job." I stated bitterly.
"Actually, against my better judgment, I wanted to see you again. And I think
Our first introduction wasn't the most pleasant." He grinned playfully.
"You have to understand, when the thirst takes a hold of me, my monster is
Unleashed." A frown appeared on his face and he seemed to be looking off into
The distance, while he said this.
"This what I understand now; is a stranger is inside my house! And he's also the
Same person that took a bite out of me like some kind of happy-meal."
"Well, I did apologies for my previous actions. However, I'm not a stranger if
You know my name." He smiled innocently.
