Please, let
me stay with you.” I jump back in horror –I can’t die, I can’t be a
vampire. I push open my door and I run out into the dark night. I
rush towards the front door and I thrust it open with a fluid
motion. I walk through the hallway, pulling my hair over my wounds
as I march. I walk through the narrow hall and I pop my head around
the doorjamb of the living room. My uncle is sitting in his
favourite chair, sipping a beer and watching the latest game on
cable. He looks really peaceful as he lounges and as I open my
mouth to speak, I fear that his peace may vanish when he sees
me.
    “George,” I say in a sweet voice. He instantly turns around
and faces me, turning the TV down as his eyes meet mine. He doesn’t
look angry –just disappointed and that’s far worse,
anyway.
    “Where have you been?” He exclaims. I shift my weight from
foot to foot as I think of an answer.
    “I was with Dalton, the movie ran late and then we had some
car trouble. I’m sorry I didn’t call,” I say as I flash him a
smile. He shakes his head at me and then he gives me the all
clear.
    “Don’t let it happen again, bugs.” I flash him my awkward
smile and then I bolt along the hallway and up the stairs. I rush
into my room and I throw myself down onto my bed, kicking off my
converses in the process. My head rests against my pillow and my
whole body jumps, when I hear a knock against the window. I slowly
rise from the bed and I make my way over to the ledge. I pull back
my curtains and I am startled, when I see Dalton situated in the
large oak tree, which spans our entire garden. He stares at me and
then he clasps the bridge of his nose as he signals for me to open
the window. I sigh and then I give into his commands. I confidently
push out my windows, knowing that he can’t enter without an
invitation. Dalton leans forward and his eyes are burning through
me. I step back from the window as he begins to plead with me to
let him in.
    “Rose, please invite me, I want to hold you, will you let me
do that?” I exhale and then every bone in my body is screaming out
at me to let him in. My lips are hungry for his cool kiss and my
skin is tingling at the thought of his icy hands wrapped around me.
I consider my options for a brief moment and then I rush over to
the window and lock my eyes on his.
    “Dalton, would you like to come in?” He smiles and then flies
in through the window at super speed. I jump back from him as he
towers above me. We stare into each other eyes for what seems like
forever and then I reluctantly pull my eyes away from him. I rush
over to my closet and I pull out a pair of shorts and an oversized,
grey t-shirt. I yank my t-shirt from my body and I smile as I feel
Dalton’s eyes burning through me. I push the other shirt over my
head and then I turn to face Dalton, as I unbutton my jeans. He
stares at me –wide eyed and hungry with those white lips. I flash
him my awkward smile and then I ask for some privacy.
    “I need a minute.” I say, my cheeks beginning to blush.
Dalton’s lips turn up at the corners and now he is fully smirking
at me. My cheeks are on fire as he edges closer to me.
    “I won’t peek, I promise,” he says in a wicked tone. I pout my
lips at him and then he smiles and turns away from me. I quickly
pull down my jeans and replace them with my checked shorts. I
scrunch my hair into a loose bun on the top my head and then I make
my way over to my bed. I fall down onto the surface –my head heavy
and an overwhelming exhaustion creeping over me. I slide under the
covers and my eyes half-shut, but they jolt open when I see Dalton
walking over to my bedside. He looks down at me –with worry and
kindness filling his deep blue eyes. He leans down to my level and
he places his hand onto my forehead, I shiver from his touch, but
reach out my hand and place it onto his chest. He quivers at my
touch and then he briefly closes his eyes as he lightly
exhales.
    “I’ll sleep on the
