I walked swiftly through the small town of Endeavour. Benjamin, the vampire I live with, was following closely behind me. I was looking for a decent mortal to kill. We both needed to feed. We hadn't in days and we were getting hungry. Ben grabbed my shoulder and pointed out a man that was walking into an alleyway. I grinned. Perfect. I thought and we both walked after him. He was easy to keep up with because he didn't seem to be in any hurry. This would be an easy kill. Too bad. I wanted a challenge tonight. But he will do.

As we walked towards the man, I heard his heart start to race. I thought to myself, " We cant feed on this man. He's dying and sick. We have to find another." As I tried to say something to Melina, she sprung. "Owell" I thought. Might as well feed rather then become to weak to then die.

Benjamin held onto him as I sunk my long fangs into his neck and drank his blood. After a moment, I pulled away and Benjamin took over. I looked around for a decent place to dispose of the body. I decided the best bet would be to toss it in the woods on our way back to the house. The werewolves can take care of him from there.

As I walked towards the woods with the body on my back, we began to speak about the days events. "Did you hear of the news of Prince Franklin? He had a very successful surgery on his thiroid this evening."

I chuckled. "No I hadn't. I hardly ever listen to the town gossip. In all honesty, Prince Franklin bothers me." I replied, glancing back at him. I motioned for him to drop the body. Wouldn't be good if we attracted attention from the werewolves.

"Really? . I thought you would've listened to something as important as that. And why does he bother you?." I said, smirking as I disposed of the body.

"I don' know. He just bothers me. From the stuff I've heard about him, he's...not that great of a guy." I said with a shrug. I didnt know why I didnt like him. I just didnt. After a while of walking, I could finally see our small house through the trees.

As our house came into view, I stopped to pick a stalk of hay. I liked to chew on it after I feed and besides, I couldnt stand another night of Melina's "cooking", if she could call it that. I smirked a little bit, and I glanced at her..... wondering if tonight was the night, the night I ask her to be with me.

I walked up to the house and opened the door slowly. It hadnt been touched since we left. The civilians didnt even know it was up here. No one risks coming through the woods at night. They know better than that. That's were the werewolves lurk. Fortunately for us, we were still able to roam through the town without people realizing who we were. They knew we existed but anyone that actually sees us is usually our food. I walked to the sofa and sat down, sighing.

As she sighed, I decided. Maybe tonight was the perfect night to ask her. Then I began to think, what if she doesn't want me. Then I decided, better to ask then be in the dark. So I walked back to the living room, and said "Melina, I have a very important question to ask you." She looked up at me with a look as I have not seen upon her face before.

I looked up at him oddly. He wasn't serious all that often so I knew it was important. I sat up straight. "What is it?" I asked him, curiosly.

"well how long have we lived as one, in this place?" I thought this was going well, so far at least. "I wanted to burst with anticipation, but I held back. I wish to know, would you be mine for all of time?" I asked her this as I got down on one knee in front of her.

(ha, its like he's proposing marriage. lol)
I gasped lightly and stared at him with my jaw open for a moment. "Ben? Are you serious?" I asked, even though I knew the answer. He nodded, hopeful, and I took a deep breath. I smiled sweetly and nodded, speechless.

As I watched her nod, my heart lept. This was exactly the opposite of what I had expected, and it mad me as happy as I had ever been. I decided to try to get to a shop before they all closed. "Darling, I will be back momentarily, as I must find a shop with a present worthy of this ocassion." As I walked towards the door, she spoke to me.

"No, stay here. With me." I said, standing and walking to him. I was practiaclly shaking. It was still registering in my mind what he had said. It caught me completely off gaurd. It definetly wasnt his way of going about things.
