City by the Sea 2

Melissa

I walk back into myself and find James. I gasp and he laughs. "Did not expect to find me here did you?" He asks, smiling.

"Get out of my house." I say, going to the cooler and getting me a bloob bag.

"You are using that again? Why are you not over there drinking from your boy friend?" He asks, walking along my counter tops.

"Yes I am and I am not going to hurt him." I say. "What do you want anyways?"

"I turned you and I want you to come with me." he says.

"He*l no." I say.

"Oh come on. You do not really think this is going to last with this guy? He is a human, going to age. You on the other hand, can't. He is going to grow old and you will stay like this forever." He says.

My fangs come out and I dart at him. He pushes me back and throws me onto the counter. "Melissa, I have years on you, don't try that." He says. He begins to leave and stands at the door. "You know where to find me." He says before darting off.

As I drink out of the blood bag, I know everything he says is true. I bite my lip and a tear slips down my face.

Joseph

I head to the kitchen and start making myself dinner, thinking about everything. She's immortal, isn't she? That means that I die someday.. but she doesn't. That's not fair, is it?

Melissa

Once I finish I throw it away and run back to his place. I jump through the window againg and scare him. "It is just me." I say. I go sit at the table with him. I do not tell him about what just happen, praying we can just cross that bridge when we come to it.

Joseph

She scares me, and I nearly burn myself on the stove. Taking a deep breath, I flash a smile at her and finish before sitting at the table. She sits with me, and I notice something different in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Melissa

I smile at him. "I was visited by the person who turned me and things left on a bad note. Do not worry about it, I am fine." I say to him, but he can tell I am lying. "He just brought up that you can age and have a life and I cannot."

Joseph

I study her before taking her hand, "We... we can work past that, can't we? I don't want to leave you later on in life."

Melissa

I study him and stand up, pulling my hand away. "Are you saying you want to become a vampire?" I ask.

Joseph

I study her, wondering why she took her hand away, "What I'm saying is that I don't want to die... leave you to live with that later on."

Melissa


I look at him. "Joe, you do not know what you are saying. I wish I could age, to live. I am dead."

Joseph

I keep my eyes on her, "Well we have to make the best of the situation at hand then, Mel."

Melissa

I go over to him and get on my knee. "I want you be able to live a long and happy life. Growing up, growing old, living. You never know how much you want it until it is torn out of your hands." I say.

Joseph

I set a hand on the side of her face, "Mel, I just want you. I don't care. How can I live when I know that as soon as it ends... you have to remember that, carry that grief?"

Melissa

"I do not want you to suffer like I do." I say. "The urge to kill, to feed is horrible."

Joseph

I keep her close, "We'll be together. We can get through it."

Melissa

"I cannot do that to you. In order to become a vampire, you have to die with vampire blood in your system. I cannot kill you. I do not want you to do this." I say to him
