You're an ordinary teenager with one very ordinary life until your father marries Jane after the death of your mother. Jane loves your father very much but the thing is... she prefers him without you, therefore, sends you to spend the whole summer a...
Even his chest didn't heave up and down. Was he sleeping? I thought he said vampires never slept... was he okay then? Oh God! Was there something wrong with him?
I extended my hand to touch him but stopped halfway when he said
"I thought I told you this part of the castle was forbidden." he suddenly opened his eyes, looking straight into mine. "I.. I.." I didn't know what to say. He scared me. He knew I was here all along. "What are you doing here, YN?" "I want to talk to you..." I didn't know if it was because of the cold or because of him, but I was shivering. "And you dared disturb me because you want to talk?" he was sharp. "Well, you wouldn't show up so I thought I should come here and-" "And you thought it was okay to disobey my orders?" "No, I didn't mean that I just-" he cut me off again. "Don't talk. It doesn't matter now. We'll talk tonight when we meet for supper and I'll have to explain to you the rules of this castle once again." "I'm sorry, Michael.." then I felt the wind again but this time much stronger.
So strong that next thing I knew, I was out of the circle, closer to the door. It blew me away from him. Was he the cause of the mysterious wind? But he was only a vampire... he couldn't have been the cause of it, could he? He never mentioned having other powers!
I decided to stop thinking and focus on leaving the dark hall because it looked like I had gotten him very angry. He has never before treated me like that. What was going on with him???
Tonight I was going to find out, no matter what.
After I returned in my room, I begun to wait impatiently until it was finally time to go downstairs for dinner. I made sure to wear one of the dresses he had given me since I wanted to look beautiful for him.

I entered the dining room to find the table set, the fireplace burning, and he standing next to the table, with his back facing me.
"Good afternoon." he said and spun around in a very delicate way. He was beautifully dressed too and looked like a king.

"So you've finally decided to wear one of the dresses I had left for you." "Yes." he didn't say anything which made me wonder... he didn't like it?? "Don't you like it?" I broke the silence. He sighed deeply with his mouth closed and said "Red is my favorite color. Shall we dine?" he extended his arm to invite me to the table, quickly changing the topic I was so interested in. Tonight I wanted the truth - did he like me or not.
We did the usual dining "routine" with me eating, he drinking his wine and not taking his eyes off of me, with the slightest difference, that this time, we were silent. Not even one single word. He seemed angry, sad, confused and other feelings that I couldn't read in his eyes.
I finished eating and he drunk the last drop of his "wine" and that was when I couldn't stand the silence anymore.
"You didn't say if you like the dress..." I reminded him. "I told you that red was my favorite color."
Red. Just like blood.
"Yes, but I think you misunderstood my question... I meant did you like the way the dress looks on me." I was beginning to sweat for I have never talked to a man like this before. I didn't even know where I got this courage from. "If I thought I wouldn't like the way it looked on you, I would have never given it to you." "Then why are you ignoring me all the time?" "I see you're getting bolder with every hour. Highly improper for a young lady, in my opinion." "A young lady who's only trying to find out why her dearest friend has abandoned her." "By breaking my rules? Forgetting all about my warnings?? Going places you shouldn't!?" "Anything! I'll do anything!" "You're playing with fire, YN, but as you wish. After all, it's your own safety you're putting at risk." what did he mean by that? "Of course I am! You and Gilbert are nowhere to be found in the last 2 days! You've left me completely alone!" "We haven't." "Yes, you have! Why?" "What why?"
This made me angry. He knew very well why! I walked over to him, grabbed his hand and looked deeply into his eyes.
"You know why and you know better than me what I mean! Don't pretend you don't! I want answ-" suddenly I felt something very strange. The strength in my body, the one that would keep me up, left my legs and hands. I felt so weak, weightless, my balance got bad and I didn't know what was happening. "YN!" I felt him wrap his arms around me to keep me up because I was going to collapse on the floor. "This is all my fault! Forgive me!" his face was so close to mine.. "Michael.." I whispered and then pressed my lips against his.
What happened to you? And why did Michael say it was his fault? How is your conversation gonna end? The answers you wanted? How is he gonna react to the kiss?
