Braven led me out of the concrete apartment; I took a look back at Rowen as the door shut. He no longer had anger and he no longer hid the fact that he was somewhat scared. It pained me to see him like that, and I didn’t know why.

The metal door led out to a hallway, from there the hallway led to some stairs. We went up about 3 flights of stairs before reaching an outside door.

“How long have I been here?” I asked glad to see the sun again.

“A little over a day, not long” Braven smiled, she seemed genuinely glad to have me as company.

“So do you do this a lot?” I asked not knowing what else to say.

“No, you are the first one he has ever saved” she said looking down.

“There have been others?!” I gasped.

“Well they have to eat” she sighed. We had reached the block on which I lived, I say my apartment and there was a cop car in front of it.

“What should I say?” I stared at the cop car. Braven thought for a moment.

“You had a mental break down and you just need to be alone” she said.

“And what about my neck?” I said pointing to the bandage.

“Dog bite” she answered simply. I sighed

“That will get the police off my back, but not my friends.” I said under my breath. Braven gave me a serious look.

“Tell them whatever you like as long as you don’t tell them the truth.” She told me. “Look the more people that know the more people you put in danger, it’s a hard truth but that’s the way it is.” She sighed.

“Here goes nothin” I said walking up the stairs to my apartment. I hesitated before I opened the door. Why my friends knowing what happened to me put them in danger? I was so confused. I twisted the handle and let myself in.

“Danielle!” Michelle screamed rushing at me; she engulfed me in a hug sobbing, a moment later Chris entered the room as well.

“Danni!” he yelled as he too rushed towards me and put his arms around both Michelle and I.

“Miss. Evanston?” A officer asked; Chris and Michelle released there death grip but did not leave my side.

“That’s me” I said in a small voice.

“We have a few questions to ask you” he looked grim. I proceeded to tell the officers what Braven had advised me to say. I didn’t chance a look at either of my friends knowing they wouldn’t believe my bluff. About an hour later the cops left and I couldn’t avoid my friends any longer.

“Where the HELL were you!” Chris yelled; he was angry now.

“Chris please don’t yell” Michelle pleaded in a small voice. I didn’t know what to say, he had every right to be upset. I knew that even if I did tell them the truth they would think I was insane and have me locked up. The stress of everything was spilling over and I couldn’t contain my tears.

“I’m so sorry” I whispered looking from Chris to Michelle, then back at Chris again.

“You had me and Michelle worried sick! For all we knew you could have been DEAD!” his face was turning red.

“Chris I am so sorry, I would have called…” I said; my cheeks were tear stained. I was trying to think of something to tell them but the pain in my head came back at full force. I closed my eyes slumping to the floor. I didn’t want to scream so I bit down on my tongue till I could taste blood. The pain seemed to go away faster this time.

“Danni are you okay?” Michelle was at my side on the floor; I swallowed the blood in my mouth. Then the question that hadn’t occurred to me before suddenly appeared in my head. If I was half vampire now did that mean I would drink blood? The very idea made me nauseas.
