SCENE!! It is a beautiful Friday night in New York City. Eve and Jack are currently enjoying a star gazing trip in the middle of Central park. Andy and Katy are at a sorority party. Both are dancing and are completely drunk.

I stare up at the beautiful stars. Sometimes I feel drawn to them. Even if there are many clustered together I can see that each one is alone in their part of the galaxy. I can empathize with such loneliness. Even with my best friend laying right beside me on this blanket I feel alone. I can't tell him how I really feel though because then he would certainly question why I had these feelings. I couldn't very well tell him that I have complicated feelings for him and I can't act on them because of my..erm...condition as a vampire.

Such secrets must stay a secret otherwise people will get hurt. The last thing I want is to hurt him. I met him three years ago and we were fast friends. Soon we became best friends and inevitably we moved in together. It wasn't a wise choice on my part because it was then that I realized how I felt about him. Being in such close proximity to him amplified everything. Sometimes I would walk into his room and he'd be changing his shirt. Or I would happen to be in the hallway while he walks to his bedroom fresh out of the shower. Or sometimes we'd just be sitting on the couch watching a movie and we'd look at each other at the same moment. The way I felt for him couldn't just be how drawn to his blood I am.

Even now the delightful aroma of his blood assaults my senses. I can only imagine drinking his blood. Like a hallucination I see myself stroking his face and kissing him. I would then move my kisses to his neck. I can practically hear the sigh he would make as I bite into his artery and let the liquid flow free....

I jolt myself out of the day dream and sit up, "The stars can get boring after a while, can't they?" I smile at him and then grab a grape out of the tupperware containers we had brought with us. I pop it into my mouth and then I reach for my guitar and start to play some chords for a few minutes, "Maybe its time for us to call it a night." I say as I quiet the guitar.

Andrew

The music pulses around us as we dance in the middle of a crowd. She is so close to me that I can't help but notice the beautiful scent of the red liquid that flows through her veins. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her close, planting some kisses on her neck. I pull away and stare into her eyes as we sway to the music. I am very drunk and so is she. I must watch the decisions I make right now, but I can't seem to make myself care.

I kiss her passionately, not really caring that we are in a crowd full of people. They are all drunk anyways so the likelihood of them even paying attention to the couple is slim. I then whisper in her ear, "We should get out of here. Enjoy the rest of our night elsewhere." He chuckles softly and then begins to lead her through the crowd and to the door. Luckily his apartment is of walking distance from the house. Driving would not exactly be the brightest of ideas at this current moment of time.

Once they arrive he closes the door and presses her against it, kissing her once more. In this state the smell of her blood is intensified to him. He can't simply ignore it anymore. Somehow they make it to the couch and he is on top of her. He begins to kiss her neck and can feel the beat of her heart against his lips. He moans and the temptations become to much to resist. He bites into her neck without thinking and then all rational thought is thrown out of the window. The only thought on his mind is the way her blood is making him feel. He can't seem to stop.

Jack:

I'm staring up at the sky and Eve is right next to me, I can't keep my thoughts in check, yes the night is beautiful but so is the girl beside me. ARGH this is painful. If only I could tell her how I feel, but the last thing I want is to make her feel uncomfortable around me. I look over and see her breath leave her lips, this cool night air makes me wish I put on my jacket. I realised that I was staring at her and quickly looked back the sky, I slowly move my hand towards hers but just before they touch she got up and ate some grapes from the containers we brought along. She talked about leaving and so I replied with a sigh,
"Really?" I asked looking at my watch, "I guess so." I stood up and started packing up the picnic. My heart racing at the beautiful sounds of her playing, I couldn't hide my feelings for her much longer but I don't want to make her upset. Screw it, if she hates me for this I'll regret it later.
"Hey, uh, Eve?" My voice was trembling as I spoke, "Do you..." I took a deep breath and blurted out "DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME?!" I immediately regretted saying that.

---

Katy:

We were drunk, it was obviously knew we were but we didn't care. He dances like a maniac and so do I, we started kissing, his breath smelled of the beer that was being supplied. I guess that mine smelled this bad aswell, so I didn't care. He grabbed me and we danced together and kissed with a drunken passion, I could feel eyes watching us but I couldn't care less.

I felt my heart race as he asked to go, so I nod and gripped his hand tight, following him through the crowd. I giggle as we walk down the street towards his apartment. I followed him inside and returned his passionate kiss with my own.

On the couch I was underneath him, my body feels hot, my heart racing. He starts off my kissing my neck and then my neck bursted into a numb pain, i feel the hot blood flowoing down my neck.
"Andy?" My voice shaking in fear. "What are you doing to me!" I'm panicking, I can feel my blood being sucked from my neck.

Genevieve

---

I am startled at his sudden outburst. I stand and put my guitar in it's case, not sure how the hell I'm going to answer. In what way can I reject this without hurting him? In no way could I do it. I run a hand through my hair, unsure of how to respond. My nervousness growing more and more by the second. "Jack..."I whisper shaking my head, "I can't...Not with you..." I shake my head and turn away to hide the tear that had just escaped it's prison. I sigh, "I'll...I'll meet you at home." I whisper before walking away. I can literally hear his heart breaking as it skips a beat and it kills me on the inside.

I need to hunt. I need to hunt bad. As soon as I'm out of sight I break out into a sprint. Within seconds I'm in my special ally where I hunt. It is the ideal location because scumbags are always happening by at this time of night. Within no time I've found my prey and I'm enjoying my late night meal graciously. Once I've had my fill I leave him slumped on the ground, unconscious. Hopefully he won't remember the vampire that drank his blood.

I then make my way home slowly, knowing that since it's been a good three hours Jack will be there. I let myself in with my key and head to bed. I slip on my favorite pajama shorts and a tank top before sitting there. I'm unsure of what to do. I've always known he has feelings for me. I can perceive it just by the way he looks at me. I love the way he looks at me though. It makes my heart skip several beats in my chest. I need to get such thoughts out of my head.
(Have him walk in to talk to her ;) )

---

Andy

---

I can hear her pleads begging me to stop. But I can't. My hunger for her is so intense that all rational thought has left my brain. Soon the euphoria of being bitten by a vampire will settle in. In some cases it actually feels good and he hopes deep in the back of his mind that it is the case for her. Before I even notices her life is slipping away from her. I had taken entirely to much. I can feel the blood flow slowing and I pulls away suddenly. Coming to my senses. "oh no." I whisper as I stare down at her pale body. "no. Shit." I gulp.

I quickly bite into my wrist to draw some blood and then put my wrist over her lips. "Please don't die." I whisper. "Please baby. Please." I gulp as the blood drips down her throat. "Please don't die."

Jack:
As Eve walks away quickly I yell after her. I stood up and punched the tree next to where we were sitting out of anger for myself, I then packed up the rest of the stuff and made my way home.

I walk towards the apartment and made their in about ten minutes after Eve left, she should be home by now, I unlocked the door and called inside.
"Hey, Eve? You here?" I assumed she wan't home, I hoped in the shower and started thinking about what a massive mistake I made. I'm an idiot, I couldn't keep my mouth shut and made everything worse. I got out of the shower and slumped on my bed with my usual pyjamas on, boxers and a black t-shirt. I just lay there and think about my mistake, but my mind couldn't help but wonder off and think about how beautiful she was. I end up listing the great qualities about her, her smile, her laugh, her cold looks she gave me from time to time. I drifted into a soft sleep and all my dreams were about Eve, my mind couldn't help it, all my thoughts eventually ended up back at the way she would smile, or walk or just sit.

I woke when I heard the front door being opened and heard the faint locking noise. I hear footsteps coming down the hall and stop, I could tell it was Eve. I get up and walk to her door, I knock and spoke through the door.
"Hey, can we talk?" my head resting on the door. "I know you may be angry with me, but I...I..." I didn't know how to continue my sentence instead I just rested my head against the frame of the door.

---

Katy:
I'm dying, was the only thought running through my mind, I can feel the blood from my body being sucked through my neck, from the person I love, well I thought I loved. But now I don't know what to believe any more. He removed his lips from neck and started whispering, his voice shaking like he made a massive mistake. When he placed his wrist over my lips, his blood ran down my throat slowly. I don't want to die, but how will Andy's blood stop me from such a fate. A thought runs through my mind, blood, neck. Is Andy a vampire? No, he couldn't be, he's just a lunatic, but he seems so reassured that his blood will keep me alive, he's trying so desperately to keep me alive that I can't help but wonder. Is Andy really a mythical creature from the fairy tails? Or is he just so drunk that he truly thinks he's a vampire?

Genevieve

---

I hear the knock at my door and I frown. What am I to do? Should I invite him in? What would I even say to him as to why I can't be with him? Gahhh. With a sigh I stand up and walk over to the door. Opening it and looking at Jack, "Whats up?" I ask him, determined to act as normal as possible. Its not like I didn't already know he had feelings for me. I think its just different in these moments because now he knows I know. It sounds like such a confusing paradox. It probably isn't a paradox, I didn't really ever do that well in modern day English. But it must be pretty damn close.

I gulp and look at him. I don't want to say anything. Whatever he has to say, he has to say it otherwise he'll go crazy. I can perceive it this way from the look in his eyes.

Andrew

---

As her life slips away I am hit with a wave of terror. "no." I whisper, "Please don't die. I love you." But then her heart stops. She is gone. Oh please have let my blood gotten to her heart in enough time. I wait for the slightest sign of her being alive, but none comes. I have never turned a human into a vampire so I don't know how long this 'death state' can go on for. Or maybe she is just honestly dead.

I stare at her peaceful face and I wonder if its better that she is dead. At least then she won't have to deal with the guilt that racks at me on a daily basis. That hunger that can never be satiated. I never felt such things before I became this monster a few hundred years ago. I have also not felt what I am feeling in these moments since the death of my family in that country home so long ago. I gulp back tears. Could this really be what happens to everyone I love? They die? I should have listened to Eve.

Jack:

When Eve opened the door I was half surprised at how normal she was acting but it also made me a little upset.
"Look, I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier tonight. Don't get me wrong the feelings I have for you are true, but if you want me to stay friends with you I can live with that..." I told her my face was a little bit more serious than I had intended but I hopefully made my point to her. Oh gods I hope she doesn't hate me now...

---

Katy:

I couldn't help but feel weird, was I dead? No I can still feel the couch I was on, the cold breath of Andy above me. What was going on, I open my eyes to find Andy staring at me. I'm confused, what's happening, was I dead?
"Andy," my voice was quiet and soft. "What's going on?" I felt cold, and there was this weird hunger for something I couldn't put my finger on.

Genevieve

---

I sigh and shake my head, "How are you going to live with it, Jack? All my presence ever does is torture you." I gulp and turn around. My hand runs through my hair nervously. What am I to do? What can I honestly say to him that will not reveal the feelings for him that I've tried so very hard to conceal. I'm a vampire, it is as simple as that. Maybe if I told him that particular secret he would be scared off.

No. Gah. This is exactly why I have never let myself get close to anyone! Ever since Erik...before I was turned into a vampire, I have not allowed myself to look so deeply into another's eyes and fall in love. I turn once more and look into the eyes of Jack. They strangely remind me of Erik's just before he was killed. He had looked so wounded as my maker tore his heart out and threw it to the ground. This memory pains me and I have to close my eyes. I open them and immediately look down at the ground, "I can't be anymore than just friends with you, Jack. Its just the way things have to be. Please understand." I practically whisper this to him. I don't want to see the pain in Jack's eyes anymore. To many memories. Maybe it is time to move on from this life I had made for myself. Its almost been long enough...I'm not fooling anyone, not even myself.

---

Andy

---

I couldn't help it, even in the face of impending sadness, a wide grin spread across my face. "Oh thank god." I say as I wrap her up into my arms. I stay this way and just hold her for a few minutes until she starts to squirm. "i'm so sorry." I say as I stare into her eyes, "I've done something really really bad and I only hope that one day you will forgive me for this. Do you feel the change?" I ask her. Maybe my blood only healed her, but did not turn her into a vampire.

The paleness of her face tells me otherwise and I gulp. "I...I turned you into a vampire Katy. I'm so sorry." It all comes out like a jumbled up mess. I say it so fast I'm unsure that she even understood what had just came out of my mouth. I gulp. At least I am no longer tormented by the smell of her human blood when I am this close to her.

Jack:
I don't know how I'm going to respond, I feel my heart slowly cracking as she tells me she only wants to be friends. My curiosity and jealous sides start getting the better of and all I can think is why? There's got to be more than just what she said, is there someone else? Or perhaps there was someone else? Maybe she is in one of those pre arranged marriages? Questions are running through my mind when she looks back at me and She looks away again saying that's the way it had to be. I see pain in her eyes, that's when my heart crumbles into what feels like ash slowly falling.
"Okay then, but I would like to ask something." taking the silence as a yes I followed through with my question. "Is there a specific reason? If so then please tell me." My rational side kept telling me to drop it but my curiosity needed to know why.

---

Katy:

I was taken back by Andy's response. I couldn't believe him, I feel my skin, it's cold and pale, I feel my teeth and to my dismay, two fangs were there. No way, I'm dead? Did Andy just? My brain was trying to take it all in. I felt infuriated at Andy and yet scared and curious as well, it was to much I pushed him off me.
"GET OFF ME!" and ran out the door to the street, I run all the way to my apartment, tears flowing down my cheek. My heart yearns for Andy, to feel his comforting body and see his beautiful smile, but my head says to keep running and don't stop until I reach home. I take the elevator to my apartment and lock the door behind me, I run to the bathroom and look in the mirror and see my face, pale as a ghost and fangs sharper than her kitchen knives. I slump to the ground crying, I don't know why but I just sit there and cry.

Genevieve

---

I looked back up at him, "You don't need to know the reason, Jack. It'll tear you apart inside. Just like it has torn me up. I don't want that for you." I ran my hand through my hair again and relented, putting it up in a pony tail. I sat down on my bed, "Wanna watch a movie?" I desperately wanted to change the subject. Maybe watching a movie with a bowl of popcorn and soda like old times could fix this. Maybe. She gulped and stared at her movie collection, "We could watch V For Vendetta again or something." She shrugged.

---

Andy

---

OH shit. I give her a five minute head start, but I then begin to run after her. No way am I going to screw up twice in one night. Leaving a newborn vampire alone to his or her own devices is a bad idea. I get there as she lays on the ground and sobs. I Sit down next to her, "You feel the hunger, don't you? Do you feel how strong it is and you are not even near a blood source? Imagine that times 100 when I was close to you. Your scent was intoxicating and honestly it killed me every time I kissed you. I was, and probably still am, drunk off of my ass and controlling that urge gets harder when I"m not in the right state of mind." I try desperately to explain to her what was happening to me as I changed her by accident. Guilt. Is this the only emotion I will ever feel for the rest of my life?

Jack:

I was about to protest from her answer but when she asked to watch a movie, I felt a wave of relief and decided to drop the subject all together.
"Uh, yeah sure. I'll make us some popcorn, you can pick the movie if you want." I walk into the kitchen and pull out a bag of instant popcorn and microwave it. While waiting I thought about her answer. What does she mean for tear me apart inside?
The binging of the microwave interrupted my thought and I pulled the bag out and empty it into a bowl.
"Popcorns done, have you picked something yet?"

---

Katy:
I hear Andy coming inside, he must have used the spare key I gave him. He enters the bathroom and before I tell him to go away he starts explaining everything. I nod at times when it requires an answer. I grabbed him and started crying into his shoulder. Could this really be happening?I have no idea what to do, his presence starts calming me down and I go from crying my heart out to a soft sob.
"I...I... just can't believe it, I can't go outside, I can't feel my own warmth again. Or am I just so drunk I'm actually believing this is happening? Or did you just slip something into my drink while I wasn't looking?" This was a stupid question but I had to hear it come from him.

Genevieve:

---

"OF course!" I yelled out as I popped V for Vendetta into the DVD player on my desk. I then set up all of the pillows on my bed and settled in under the covers. Soon Jack was back in the room and we both settled down to watch the movie. I reached for some popcorn at the precise moment he did and our hands touched. With his hand over mine I looked up at him. I didn't mind the feel of his hand over mine. The skin on skin contact felt good. Ah hell. This was a moment. I pulled my hand away quickly and then stared at the TV screen without really focusing on it. Maybe he wouldn't address my reaction to that...unlikely. I could practically hear the wheels turning in his head.

---

Andy:

This actually made me laugh. Can't go outside and feel the warmth? He shook his head, "we aren't those stereotypical vampire bitches that can't stand sunlight. The light from the sun does not bother us. Its really chemically impossible. People get those myths from the fact that we are only ever seen feeding at night. Its preposterous." I chuckle and then get serious again, "Why would I slip something into your drink when I know good and well that I can get you into bed without it?" I let out a laugh as she gasps and smacks my arm. It slightly hurts actually and to be honest I liked the pain. Not in a sexual way or anything. Just the thought of her being able to make me feel it. She is as strong as me now! I won't have to hold back my strength anymore. Bright side!!

Jack:

I walk back into the room and sit down next to Eve and enjoy the movie, but just as I reach for the popcorn my hand landed on top of hers. She looks at me then pulls her hand away, I do as well. God dammit, why didn't I just shut my god damn mouth. This is eating away at me, slowly and painfully, I clear my throat,
"You want anything to drink?" I say getting up and walking towards the kitchen.

---

Katy:

When Andy reassured my fears I felt better, when he made the stupid remark I hit him on the arm. I felt betrayed by him but I smiled myself and grab him, pulling him into hug. I don't do anything but hold him tightly, I need someone to cling to right now and he was the closest. I let go and wipe the tears away from my eye.
"I Don't forgive you yet, and to make it up to me your going to have a lot of explaining to do. Right now." I say to him with an angry look. "And get me my favourite food for tomorrow nights dinner." I added.

Genevieve

---

I sighed. Things were getting awkward between them now. Just awesomely perfect. I glanced at him, "Yeah. Coke please." I muttered as I shoved some more popcorn into my mouth. Why must things be complicated? The first friend I've had in years and not only do I fall in love with him but he does as well. Fate must love cosmic jokes. Send someone along my life's path that sometimes acts like Eric and has the same look to his eyes. I remember our first meeting: I had seen him across the quad. He was doing something Eric often did, staring off into the distance at something beautiful and thinking. It had drawn me to him and then we were fast friends. I realized sometimes he'd get this look in his eyes and all of a sudden I'd think of my now deceased husband.

I was jolted out of my thoughts as Jack returned and handed her a cold soda. Of course our fingers touched as he did so and this time I didn't move. Although I wanted to his gaze had caught a hold of mine and even if I wanted to look away I simply couldn't. Snap Out Of IT! Something inside of me yelled, but somehow that didn't faze me. I just continued to stare.

---

Andy:

I chuckled, "About that. It took me about 10 years to be able to digest human food. It took Eve like...20. It differs from vampire to vampire...its basically your body telling you that that is no longer your source of life. Blood is. Sorry." I said honestly. I had fucked up bad and I knew that....it was just hard to admit considering all I've ever done is fuck up other people's lives. I fucked up my sister's when I screamed bloody murder over 100 years ago, I've fucked up other's lives by killing their family and friends, and I've now fucked up the love of my life by turning her into a vampire. Simple perfection.

Jack:

Our eyes are locked, I can't seem to look away. My Body just starts to move on its own, I lean in, my hand still locked on the coke. I stop slight;y before her lips, her breathing was soft and she smelt like flowers. And I kiss her.

---

Katy:
I was disappointed when he told me that I can't eat normal food for around 10 years. I hit him on the arm again.
"One other thing," I reply with the same tone of voice, "If you knew that would happen then why the hell did you bite my bloody neck anyway?" i just stare at him coldly waiting to hear his answer, it better not be a pathetic one or i'm gonna hit again.

Genevieve:

The kiss shocked Genevieve. What shocked her more was that she didn't pull away. Suddenly she found her arms around his neck so she could pull him closer. His lips felt amazing on hers and she found she never wanted any of this to end. If it felt this good why had she always denied herself it? In those moments she didn't care that she could possibly one day hurt him.

---

Andy:

He sighed, "Later on you'll understand that when the need to feed comes over you it is hard to control it. It takes years and years of practice. When I bit you I had basically lost all of that control. Sometimes that happens."
