The amount of blood covering the dirty walls made my eyes believe they were actually painted.

I sat in my spot next to James and watched the murder scene in front of me play out. James laughed and ate like it was the most amazing thing in the world, but I thought differently...

Alexander's friends collected all the caregivers to kneel in front of him like slaves. Even Mother Gabby was forced to kneel down, just like she made me do not too long ago.

Each caregiver took turns as Alexander killed them one by one, all in a different way. One was ripped apart and I witness another get her face scratched off.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of Alexander as he stood tall and confident with his hands behind his back. He looked better than I remember.

His hair was so wavy and dark that I just wanted to run my fingers through it. I also couldn't help but stare at his perfect face where he had some stubble on his sharp jawline.

I missed everything about him and the urge to hug him was getting the best of me at the moment. The fact that he was here, made me realize how hard he must of searched all over town for me.

"Alexander you have no business coming to my orphanage like an intruder! If you wanted some fresh meat to feed on then you should of just told me. I can gladly let you select any child you wish for!" Mother Gabby persuaded and tried to stand up, but Alexander slapped her hard with the back of his hand and caused her to fall back to the floor.

I saw the way one of his rings easily sliced Mother Gabby's wrinkly cheek. James chuckled beside me, but somehow I didn't find the humor of seeing this bloody mess.

I looked around and saw that all of the children were escorted out of the dining hall, so they wouldn't witness what I was seeing.

Angel and Robert were in a far corner and unseen by Alexander. Robert had a protective arm around Angel's hip and they both looked like they were enjoying the show.

Was I the only one who thought this was disgusting?...

I mean I hated Mother Gabby and the rest of the horrible caregivers, but I didn't want to watch Alexander kill them.

That's not the type of Alexander I wanted to see. It scared the hell of me to see him this vicious...

"Pay attention, the best part is finally here!" James said with excitment and shoved me with his elbow.

My jaw tightened as I saw Alexander yank Mother Gabby by her hair so she could stand on her feet. He yelled something at her that I couldn't really hear, but I knew it wasn't good just by his face expression.

His face was so close to hers that I almost thought he was going to kiss her, but then I tilted my head to get a better view and saw him showing her his sharp fangs.

I really didn't want to know what he was about to do with them...

In less than a second, Alexander grabbed Mother Gabby's face with both of his hands and agressively bit her cheek and ripped off a huge piece of it.

My stomach dropped at the sight of thick blood piling on the ground and hearing Mother Gabby's horrible scream.

But what made me want to stand up and runaway was the view I had of Alexander. He no longer wore his loving bright eyes, but instead dark threatening ones. His mouth still had the piece of Mother Gabby's cheek like it was a piece of meat, making his whole mouth and chin stain with a harsh red color.

I dug my nails deep into my palm to stop my hands from trembling. To say I was scared couldn't relate to what I was feeling right now. I turned my head to look at James and saw him watching with a huge smile.

His eyes glowed like he enjoyed the sight of blood. It would make sense since he was a vampire just like Alexander, so he didn't understand how I felt.

It seemed like nobody in the room felt sick from watching what Alexander was doing...except for me.

I looked down at my lap and saw my legs were shaking in fear. I tried to stop them, but I just couldn't. I heard Mother Gabby scream so I looked up and regretted it as soon as I did ...

One of Alexander's friends put a cage like box around Mother Gabby's head. It locked completely around her neck and looked painful.

But what shocked me most was when Alexander kneeled down on one leg in front of her. He spoke to Mother Gabby in a strange language and as soon as he did, Mother Gabby shrieked in terror.

I watched in shock, not being able to comprehend how Mother Gabby's hair suddenly turned a fierce black and her clothes somehow changed.

I rubbed my eyes and thought I was imagining it, but when I gasped at the surprise, Mother Gabby turned around and my heart almost stopped.

Her face was completely different now..She had deep bags under her shaded black eyes and her mouth looked like it was sewn shut. What the hell was I looking at?!

My mouth became dry as she glared at me and for the first time ever I was truly terrified of Mother Gabby.

She looked like a conplete witch.

I leaned towards James for some type of comfort and was in complete panic when she pointed a finger at me. With no time to lose, she got up and ran towards me in full speed.

Before I could process what I was doing, my body took control and next thing I know I was out of my seat in a rush.

I ran as fast as I could and felt Mother Gabby right behind me. I heard my name being called, but all I did was run.

No way in hell was I stopping when the devil himself was after me trying to end my life.

I turned corners and climbed stairs until my chest hurt and my legs ached. I slightly turned around and stopped when I saw nobody behind me.

Long breaths left my mouth and I relaxed a little until I faced forward again. I came face to face with Mother Gabby's face.

"Luke!" I heard Alexander yell not too far away.

However, I stayed frozen as all I could look at was the hideous face in front of me. At the moment I knew my life was about to end...

Mother Gabby smiled wickedly and before I knew it her sharp fingernails were about to make contact with my face.

But that didn't happen.

Alexander got in the way and instead ended up getting hit on his collarbone. He pushed me back and made me fall on the floor.

Somehow this all felt like deja vu all over again.

I watched in terror as Alexander grabbed Mother Gabby's cage around her head and twisted it. A snapping sound was then heard and all I saw was Mother Gabby's head come off her body like a broken piece.

Some of her blood splattered on my shirt, but that didn't bother me at the moment. The fact that her eyes were still moving after she was decapitated freaked me out so much I screamed.

"Luke, come here. I promise I won't hurt you." I heard Alexander say but my eyes wouldn't leave the bloody head staring back at me.

I soon only saw Alexander's face as he kneeled in front of me. He wiped his stained hands on his nice shirt then brushed my hair back from my face.

His touch was so gentle it made me want to cry. God how I missed his touch...

I looked at him in desperation to just control my shaking body. As if knowing what to do, he leaned over and softly placed his lips on mine.

He didn't move them and just let me enjoy the feeling. He pressed them harder when my heart beat was finally going back to normal.

He pulled away a little and placed gentle kisses on my forehead, cheeks and finally my lips again. His bright eyes stared at me with a calm expression. My fear of him was once again leaving my body the longer he stared.

"I told you I would come looking for you..now I'm taking you home where you belong..." Alexander whispered right above my lips.

I nodded and let him pick me up off the ground. We walked back to the dining hall in a slow pace and I held Alexander's hand the whole way.

Once we got back to the dining hall, I saw all the caregivers were killed on the spot. Except for Vicky who was given some water to calm her nerves. Angel, Robert and James suddenly rushed to me.

"Are you okay, Luke?"

"Did she hurt you?!"

"You should be an athlete, anybody who can outrun a witch deserves a fucking award!"

Angel glared at Robert's last comment and shook his head in annoyance.

Wait...did he say witch?

I glanced up at Alexander and was about to question him, but a guy who stood beside him when he arrived beat me to it.

"Sir, there are a total of twenty children in the building. Do you wish to still go through with your plan?" the guy questioned Alexander.

"Yes, make sure no one gets left behind, so check the building again." Alexander commanded.

The guy nodded and left along with the rest of the guys. I noticed one looked younger than the rest.

Once he saw me staring he stared back at me with narrowed eyes.

"Alexander, what's going to happen to the kids?" I questioned, worried for the poor children.

"Don't worry, Luke. They're going to real foster homes with the highest adoption rate so they'll get families in no time." Alexander assured me.

I looked at Angel and Robert and really didn't want to part ways with them. It seems they were thinking the same because they frowned at the comment. There was also a possibility they would be separated if they get adopted by different families.

"Ale-" I try saying, but Alexander cuts me off.

"Yes." he simply states.

"You don't even know what I was going to ask?" I question.

"Angel and Robert are coming with us. It seems Angel has known Max for awhile now." he stated and I saw Robert look confused as to who Max was.

"A friend." Angel said, answering on of my many questions.

Now I know why he believed me about Alexander being a vampire so quickly..

I yawned and felt exhausted by everything. I just wanted to get into Alexander's bed with him and sleep forever in his arms.

I still had so many questions, but at the moment my tired body was getting the best of me.

"All clear, sir." the same guy informed Alexander causing him to nod.

Alexander turned to stare at me and noticed how tired I was. I felt his arms around me and soon I was off the ground.

We all walked out of the orphanage and as I hid my face in Alexander's neck, I saw the blonde headed guy walk behind us with an older man beside him.

They were both very attractive and I couldn't believe vampires were so damn good looking.

As if knowing I was staring at him, the blonde guy looked up and stuck his tongue out followed by his middle finger. The man beside him flicked his forehead causing him to roll his eyes.

"Stop acting like a child Lorenzo." was all I heard before I fell asleep on Alexander's comfty shoulder.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

I don't know for how long I slept for, but all I knew was that I wanted to sleep on this soft bed forever.

But my grumbling stomach was telling me otherwise, so I reluctantly got out of bed. After taking a hot shower I made my way out Alexander's room to search for him.

I passed through some rooms and stopped when I heard some weird groans. I pressed my ear against the unfamiliar room's door and continued to hear the same groans of pain.

I immediately recognized the noises and knew they belonged to Alexander.

I carefully opened the door and peeked inside to see what was going on. I quickly saw Alexander sitting on a chair with his shirt off and his top half exposed.

His eyes were closed tightly as I saw Nana standing beside him with a wet towel and some other medical supplies.

There was a small tub of water that was tainted with a fading red color not too far away from Nana. That's when I finally really saw Alexander's chest.

The hit that was suppose to be impacted on me by Mother Gabby was now layed proudly across Alexander's collarbone down to his right nipple.

I didn't know the cut was that deep.

I saw Nana stitch the cut gently and saw Alexander crush a stress ball in his hand to release some of the pain he was receiving.

I felt horrible knowing he was hurt because of me...

"Luke, if your going to watch atleast come sit in my lap to help me get through my injury." Alexander stated without even opening his eyes.

I blushed in embarrassment at being caught but did what he said. I slowly made my way towards him but didn't sit on his lap.

Nana looked concentrated on stitching Alexander's wound and I didn't want to mess her up.

Just the fact that Alexander got in the way and saved me from going through the pain made me want him even more.

"Did you just wake up?" Alexander asked and finally opened his eyes to look at me.

I nodded and felt his hand grab me to pull me closer to him. His hand settled on my back and it tightened into a fist when Nana started to clean off the blood around the cut.

I ran my fingers through Alexander's hair and in return he tilted his head back to look at me clearly.

I didn't know what came over me but next thing I know I was leaning down and kissing him.

His lips parted and I slipped my tongue a little between his lips. I almost moaned at the warmth and taste of his mouth. I missed this so much...

I pulled back and saw him giving me a gentle smile.

"I should get hurt more often if it means you kissing me like that." he teased, causing me to blush.

I held his hand throughout his whole procedure and noticed the way he stared at me as he went through the pain.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard his gentle words as I looked at his now covered and stitched up wound.

"This does not compare to the pain I would of felt if it was you that got hurt..."
