I stare at the wall contemplating what to do, letting Marcus's words bother me yet again.

Am I being selfish? I don't think so.

The knocking of the front door makes me stand up from my position on the couch and slowly walk to it.

I swing the door open, I don't get a chance to see who it is because I'm being pushed into a wall.

I gasp and look up, "Tyler? What the hell are you doing?" I hiss and wiggle around trying to move myself from his grip.

"I need to talk to you. I'm the going to allow you to hate me, okay?" He growls, I scowl.

"I don't think you can make that decision for me Tyler," I bring my hands to his chest and try to push him away.

"Just listen!" He shouts, I stop my pushing and sigh.

He cages me in with his arms by my head, "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and be honest. You're my world Shae. If you're gone then there isn't even a point in living anymore, if-- if you ever hate me I won't be able to live with myself. I love you Shae, I love you," he repeats.

I look at him with wide eyes, not being able to refrain myself I wrap my arms around his neck and press my lips to his.

His arm hooks around my waist as he bites my lip groaning, "wow, we walked in at the wrong time," we pull away from each other and I look at Samantha and Marcus with flushed cheeks.

"Go away," Tyler grumbles breathing heavily, he looks at me again with slightly red lips.

Marcus and Sam walk away, "you're so important to me." He whispers twirling a strand of hair around his finger.

I smile and wrap my arms around his neck yet again, his hands settle on my hips.

"I'm guessing that you're not going to say it back," I awkwardly look at the ground. "I'll wait, I have forever," he says.

"But I don't," I whisper looking up.

He sights and removes one hand from my hip to cup my cheek, "I'll wait. Okay?" I nod and stand on my tippy toes bring my lips to his.

"Will-" kiss. "-You-" kiss. "-Be-" kiss. "-My-" kiss. "-Girlfriend?" He pulls back staring at me intently.

I smile and nod slowly, "yes."

"So you're not afraid of me?" He asks, I bite my lip and shake my head.

"You haven't tried to eat me while we have been kissing, have you?" I tease, he chuckles and shakes his head.

"Never," he whispers.

"So you.... you and Tyler are.... are a thing?" Samantha asks trying to process all the new information.

"Yup, Marcus told me you two are going pretty well too," I say.

"I thought you hated Marcus?" She asks with furrowed eyebrows.

"Hated? I still do Sammy," she chuckles.

"When will you finally like him? My best friend and my boyfriend hating each other is not ideal. I like Tyler!" She exclaims.

"I'm the one who should be exhausted. I have to deal with Marcus now that you're dating. Maybe you should be exhausted too because you are dating him and on your free will! I say you dump him," she narrows her eyes on me. "Joking! I'm just kidding."

"No your not," she mutters.

"Yeah, your right. But I want you to be happy, and if that means dating a psychotic lunatic then I'm all for it... kind of," she huffs.

"You're not going to put me off him," I shrug.

"I'm not trying to. I'm happy for you, honestly. But I need to have a chat with him," I say.

"Why?" She whines like a child.

"I need to have the talk with him."

"The talk?"

"You know the one where I earned all your past boyfriends that if they ever hurt you then I will hunt them down, chop their balls off and feed them to my dog for dinner. They thought I was joking but they regretted hurting you after the deed was done." I click my tongue and shake my head.

"You did not chop their balls off," she scoffs.

"I was going to! I was just in a generous mood," I huff.

"A generous mood every time a guy hurt me?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Since I hate Marcus I will chop them off, no guilt whatsoever. He can heal anyway!" I wave the thought off.

"NOT WHEN YOU GET YOUR BALLS CHOPPED OFF!"

"Oh, Marcus sweetie," I give him a fake sweet smile. "We need to talk."

"I'm not going to talk to you if you chop my jewels off," I roll my eyes. "What? I heard you!" He exclaims.

Tyler walks in, "can you let my buddies in?" Ty asks.

"What buddies?" He points to the door, a group of guys and girls stand at the door waiting for me to do something about it.

"They can just walk through the door," I say.

"Honey you have to invite us in," a girl with blonde hair says, she looks at her nails.

"More vampires?! Tyler, we just got on good terms and you want me to let them come in," all of a sudden they walk through the door. "Wha... what how?" We all look at Sam.

She sheepishly smiles, "I was just testing them they came in!" She defends herself. I roll my eyes and huff.

"If you try to eat me, I will kill you," I say.

"Love, you can't kill us," a guy chuckles.

"Yeah she can, she can get a wooden steak and drive it through our hearts," a guy with light brown hair, tan skin, a defined body obviously and dark brown eyes says, I'm guessing he's new at being a vampire.

"Eddie you're an idiot!" They hit him upside the head.

I crack a smile, "Eddie you're my new best friend!"

He grins, "guys I'm best friends with the Queen. Can I hug you?"

"Yes."

"No," Tyler says at the same time I say yes, I pout.

"Why not? It's just a harmless hug," I say.

He scoffs, "you're mine, that's why."

"We're best friends that's it!" I exclaim starting to get very frustrated.

"If you want me to rip his head off then go ahead, hug him," I scowl at Tyler.

"You are.... you are so annoying!" I stomp to the couch and sit on it.

He rolls his eyes at me and turns to his blood sucking friends, Eddie pouts at me.

"So what's all your vamp friends doing here?" Sam asks.

"We want to show you something, plus they're our good friends." Marcus says.

"Show us what?" Sam asks, Marcus smirks and I roll my eyes. Now he's going to say the cliché, 'you'll find out soon.'

"You'll find out soon," I guessed right.

"Let's go, by the way I'm Amy," the girl who said that I have to invite them in says.

She has blonde hair that is darker at the top, light sky blue eyes with a dark blue rim around it, pale skin with freckles scattered in places, she has a sharp jawline and she's tall. Very pretty as well.

Tyler offers me a hand but I stand up and walk past him, he grabs my wrist though. The others walk out of the house and I huff, "Tyler let's go."

"No, are you mad?"

"I just don't want you to be like this every time I'm friends with a guy and I hug them, I don't want you to be overly protective," I mutter.

"I can't help it, it's in my nature to be protective over my mate." He whispers.

"Let's go, we can talk about it on the way."

"Well we are using our speed so not really," he says lifting me in his arms. I Yelp in surprise as he starts running, trees become fuzzy, everything becomes blurry from their speed!

We stop at an area with lots of people and olden day houses, they are concreted, most have brick houses and chimneys. It's like a small village. There is one really beautiful old fashioned house, it's massive and there are flowers surrounding it.

There is a lake where people are swimming and a barbecue is going on, there are lots of people. The area is surrounded by bush and there is a water fountain with a statue of a man with his fangs? They are sticking out.

He looks professional and his hair is neat, his posture is perfected. Tyler. He places me down and I stare at it.

"This is our world, well you live in it. It this is where us vampires live," Tyler says.

I look at the statue in confusion, "Tyler is the first ever vampire in this world, he was a creation that made the world a place where people had eternity. His parents weren't vampires, when they found out what he was his dad called him a freak of nature but his mother always protected him. His father disowned him, his mother got beaten for protecting him and one time she was beaten so badly that he had to heal her with his blood... she didn't make it in the end, she died with his blood in her system so she was reborn as a vampire," says a guy with light brown hair, hazel eyes with flecks of gold and sun kissed skin.

"That's enough story time Eduardo," not Eddie, Eduardo. Wouldn't that be confusing?

"Eddies real name is Edvard," I nod.

Tyler grabs my wrist and drags me away from him then walks back over to him, "that was not your story to tell," Tyler harshly says.

"You would have told her anyway, she deserves to know." Everyone thought Tyler was going to punch him but he doesn't, he hugs him?

"Thank you brother, " Tyler says.

They pull away from each other with bright grins, "but what for?" He asks.

"Telling her something that I wouldn't of been able to," Tyler explains.

We advert our eyes from them and I grin coming up with a plan, "hey can we go over to the lake?" I ask.

"Of course," Amy smiles. We all walk to the lake together, Eduardo and Tyler follow behind.

"Wow," I say looking at it. Surprisingly the lake isn't as dirty as I thought it would be, the water is clear.

"We got rid of the dirty water and put concrete at the bottom, so it's a pool really," Amy shrugs, "the lake is over there but only teenagers go in there, most of the time they're here."

"Will they eat us?" Sam whispers afraid.

Amy shrugs, "probably but then they will get killed."

"Thanks for the assurance Amy," I sarcastically say, she grins.

"Amy time Shae."

I fake a gasp and look into the water, "what is it?" Tyler and Marcus ask.

"Look!" I exclaim, they lean forward, I look at Amy and she smirks as well as me.

Sam, Amy and I push them into the water. Small waves form and we all giggle like school girls, they come to the surface and glare at the three of us.

Tyler starts to walk up towards me and I squeal running away, but he's too quick with his vampire speed.

In only a small amount of time I'm being thrown over his shoulder and he's jumping in the water with me.

I laugh when my head pops out of the water, I splash him with water and he smirks.

He grabs my waist pushing me towards him, I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his shoulders.

I look behind him and scream, red eyes is looking at me, he has a smirk on his face. He opens his mouth showing me his fangs and I move backwards so he can't reach me.

Tyler turns around and grabs him by the throat, "you will not touch her," Tyler snarls.

"Y-yes my king," he stutters.

Tyler throws him in the air and the guy yelps as he crashes into a tree, "are you okay?" He asks and I nod breathing heavily.

"Just scared the crap out of me," he chuckles.
