The Random Vampire Story [1]

Colt laughed, he didn't want to let her go but the glare he was getting from Slade sent shivers down his back.

"Maybe if I just stop sneaking up on you like I know I shouldn't you will be fine." He laughed. He put his chin on the top of her head and then helped her straighten out. He picked up the daggers for her and handed them to her.

Caiden

I took the dagers and smiled before turning away, I could feel Slade glaring at us both and I felt sorry for him, but could I help it? No. I had tried to love him and failed. I just couldn't do it. I fell in love with who i was supposed to be hunting.

I almost froze, without even thinking about it I realized that I had fallen in love with Colt. I checked myself so I wouldn't look back at him as I walked over to the pile of scabards for the daggers and swords. Did he love me too?

Colt-

Colt watched Caiden walk off and he smiled. Why did it feel so right to have her in his arms? 'YOU CAN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH HER!' A voice yelled, "She'll kill you!' He ignored it thought and leaned against a wall smiling. He wasn't going to let this one get away. He fiddled a bullet in his fingers, any werewolf that tired to hurt her he would tear to shreds.

Caiden slipped the daggers in their scaboard and tied it to her waist, she felt awesome carrying daggers around instead of stakes, carrying daggers would get her frightened looks not the "you're crazy" looks.

Caiden turned around and her mental party ended. She had to tell Colt that she loved him, but...the question was how? She was terrified to know his answer and the akwardness that it would bring. She was also terrifed of doing something creative or getting her hopes up.

She knew she was screwed, no matter how she did it it was going to be horrid, so why not get it over with and go kiss him and tell him now? She was terrified. Damn.

Colt looked around,

"I'm going outside, it's getting a little stuffy in here." He said suddenly, he walked up the stairs and outside taking a deep breath. He caught Caiden's sent and turned around to see that she had followed him.

"It was a little stuffy." She smiled, he nodded as she walked over. He looked around and then down at her. She seemed really deep in thought and he bit his lip. A small breeze floated across the lawn and he looked down at her again. "I..." She looked up at him, he cut her off as he cupped her chin in his hand and bent down, his lips meeting hers. A warmth ran through his body as he pulled her close.

'Please feel the same way, PLEASE!' His mind screamed.

When the kiss ended Caiden looked up at him, now more sure than before that he cared for her too.

"I..." she studdered losing her courage, when it all fluttered out the window she faltered buring her head in his chest and sighing. She was such a chicken.

Colt wrapped his arms around Caiden, he couldn't believe how happy he was.

"Can I tell you something?" He asked resting his head on top of hers.

"What?" He heard her barely say.

"I think your making me fall in love with you." He admitted before he could chicken out of it.

Caiden sighed and groaned at the same time, "thank-god," she said, "I thought I was the only one."

"Only one what?"

"That was falling in love."

"Oh," he rested his chin on her head.

Colt breathed in, he looked back towards the house and sighed.

"We better get back in there before we get in trouble." He said grabbing her hand. He slowly led her back towards the house feeling like he was floating on a cloud.

Caiden followed him into the house, down to the basement. She knew that she'd never 100% love him, the horrors in her past wouldn't allow that, but wasn't 97% good enough?

She'd have to tell him about it though. On the ride back to her apartment, or wherever they were heading next, she was going to take her truck and talk to him as they drove.

"I'm hungry," James said when they reached the bottom of the stairs, "anybody got any good places to go eat?"

"McDonalds," Slade said immideatly, "fast, cheep, good."

"Food just sounds good," Caiden admitted.

"Let's get going then." Colt said smiling. He started up the stairs tugging on Caiden's hand.

"You don't even eat." She laughed following.

"Old habits die hard." He smiled as they made their way back outside. He pulled his trench coats collar to block the sun.

Colt and Caiden climbed in her truck and as she turned it on she franticly thought of the best way to begin this conversation.

"We need to talk," she said simply. He didn't respond. "There's more to my vampire hunting than I've told you," she said. "Would you like to hear?"

"Yes."

"When I was young, probably only 12 I was veru hard to control, I was sneaking out every night to just go walk around. Hoping to meet a vampire. Well...I got my wish."

Colt-

Colt listened,

"Well...I got my wish." She said, he looked at her, wondering what could've happened.

Caiden shook her head, "long story short I was in the hospital for three weeks getting rehabilitated and all the paranormal people like me kept asking me questions about him and stuff, he was my age when he was turned so he looked normal enough. I vowed then that I'd never be subject to prey from their kind again, so I became a vampire hunter."

She looked up at him, hoping he'd understand that there'd always be some reserve between the pair.

Colt-


Colt nodded, "That had to be scary." He said hoping he didn't sound to monotoned. He thought back to when he had been biten. He had never known who his attacker was, or why he had been attacked. "Vampire's like that don't deserve to live."
