Chapter 1

What would you do if you were turned into a vampire?

Those are words that I never thought I would ever think. But little did I know, that the day I thought everything was going to be normal, was the day that things were going to change.

It all started that day. It was a Saturday afternoon, and Ryan and I were planning to meet up. Ryan and I just got together, and so far things have been great. I liked Ryan a lot, and he seemed to understand me. We did get stares on occasion, but most people acknowledged our relationship.

I liked him a lot, but things have been slow. We had s*x once, but we didn’t want to rush too fast into the relationship. He didn’t like the idea of running into that sort of thing, he had a problematic relationship in the past. I could acknowledge it, but it was still weird at times.

We planned to meet up at the park today and then go for a walk. It was my off day, and I was excited to hang out with him. It’s been going smoothly, but when I got to the park I didn’t see him there.

“This is weird,” I said. I looked around, but he still wasn’t there. After a little bit, I saw his silver sports car pull up to the parking space and sit there for a moment. Ryan got out, and when he saw me he smiled.

“Hey there Alice. How are you?” he said.

I blushed when he pressed his lips to mine in a chaste kiss. Neither of us were completely comfortable with making out just yet. We didn’t like public displays of affection for some reason. But it was nice to feel his lips against mine. We stayed like that for a moment, but then he pulled away. He grabbed one of my dark-skinned hands and looked into my chocolate-brown eyes.

“How are you?” he asked.

“Pretty good. I was just waiting for you. Where were you?” I replied. I didn’t like to be left hanging, and normally he wasn’t like this.

“Sorry about that. I had to finish up something at my job. They called me in today even though I asked them not to. Damn corporate scumbags,” he replied.

I knew that feeling. I mean, I worked as a legal secretary for an up-and-coming firm. We started taking on bigger cases, but my boss told me that even if we took on more, they would still give us the weekend off. So far, they’ve fulfilled their promise. The question however, was how long they would do that.

“Damn that su*ks. Well you’re here now. I turned my phone off so I won’t get any messages from anyone. I just want to have a lovely time with you today,” I replied.

“Same here. Now let’s make that wish into a reality.”

I nodded as we started walking around the park. There were people around, but most of them minded their own business. Some people probably wondered why a white man like Ryan would be dating a black woman like me. Everyone has their own tastes though, and that’s what I said whenever I got questioned. Ryan was a charming guy, and when I looked into his green eyes I felt mesmerized. He was a bit taller than me, and he was muscular. He looked yummy whenever I looked at him, but I was too awkward to do anything about it.

“So what do you think we should do today?” he asked.

“Why don’t we walk around, talk for a bit, and then get some dinner together?” I replied. We were already by the lake, which was a giant pond that people walked and biked around. I loved coming here, but when I was with Ryan I felt happier here.

“That sounds great babe. So, do you know if you’ll be able to take off that one day for the picnic yet? I know that the shop really wants to meet you. I’ve told them only good things about our relationship, and they’re all true. They also want to see what type of a girl a guy like me can bag,” he asked.

I was supposed to go to this fall picnic thing that Ryan’s work was having. It was on a Friday, but I planned to make up the time. I didn’t know how I was going to make it up yet though.

“I really don’t know. I mean, it would be awesome to do so. I would love to meet the guys that you work with. But it’s so close to a case that I’m not sure the firm would let me off. Of course, if I do well the next couple of weeks, I might be able to request it off,” I replied.

“Well I would love to have you there. Also, I got you a tiny present. It’s nothing much, but I felt like getting you something,” he stated.

He stopped walking and looked at me, giving me a small box. When I opened it, I saw that they were two necklaces with our names written on it in Chinese characters. They were beautiful, and it was sentimental. I smiled as I looked at the jewelry.

“Thank you so much Ryan! They’re beautiful,” I stated.

“You’re very welcome Alice. I know that you love stuff like that, so I felt it was only natural to give you something that you would cherish,” he replied.

I put it on and he put his on. The stone with the name on it was in the shape of a heart, and I loved the way that it looked. I have always wanted to travel to the Orient, and I actually know how to speak Chinese. That’s why I knew what this was when I read it. The fact that he took the time and effort to make something like this for me was amazing.

I gave him a kiss. I rested my lips against his for longer than I have before. Normally, we didn’t have overly public displays of affection, but this time I felt happy. He pulled away after about thirty seconds though. I blushed at my actions; normally we never did stuff like that and it was a bit awkward for me right now.

“S-sorry about that,” I said.

“It’s all good. I didn’t mean to pull away so suddenly. I was just surprised, that’s all,” he replied.

I nodded. We went back to walking once again, both of us making small talk with the other. I wanted to get my mind off of my foolish action, but it continued to wander over in that direction.
