gives me a big welcoming smile. His eyes seem to be glowing in the moonlight.
    “You came,” Jason says, and I raise one of my eyebrows at him.
    “I told you I would be here,” I say and move to stand next to him. I look at the lake and see hundreds of fireflies flying above the water. The glowing white moon is low and full, and looks like it’s coming out of the lake. “This is beautiful,” I say, and look into his brilliant green eyes. He is watching me and all I can see is the bright, round, full moon reflecting in his exceptional eyes.
    “That you are,” he says, and I can feel myself blushing. “My room faces the lake, and I come out here to be alone. I love how the fireflies look on the lake.” Jason moves closer to me as he talks.
    I try to think about anything besides how tasty he smells. I look at him and can feel my panic rising. “Jason, I shouldn’t be here,” I say, as he moves closer to me.
    He smiles at me, and I hold my breath.
    “Are you sure about that?” Jason brushes my hair away from my face, and leaves his hand on my cheek. My heart races as he moves even closer to me. His green eyes seem brighter with the full moon.
    “Jason,” is all I can say before his lips are on mine. I know I should push him away, and I know I shouldn't be kissing him, but I don’t do any of those things. I wrap my arms around his neck and I groan when I feel his tongue conquering my mouth.
    The moment his tongue finds mine I immediately regret it. He tastes better than he smells, and I move away from him gasping for air. That was the stupidest idea I’ve ever had, I can still taste him on my lips.
    “Victoria, are you okay?” Jason asks, and I move farther away from him. I turn my back to him so he won’t see my eyes turning bright red with my blood lust.
    I started wishing that I listened to Nathan and stayed away from Jason. I shouldn’t be out here. I need my best friend to help me calm down before I tear out his throat.
    “Jason can you get Nathan for me?”
    “Seriously? You want your best friend, right now?” I don’t miss the hurt in his voice. I want to hold him, and tell him that I don’t mean it, that I want to be kissing him. But that isn’t completely true. I want to drain his blood.
    “Please,” I beg him.
    Jason doesn’t say anything for a couple of minutes, and I don’t want to turn around.
    “I have never been interested in anyone here at Darkwood, and I’ve never brought anyone out here. This is my special spot.” When I hear him walking away, I can feel my tears threatening to break free. I feel bad that he doesn’t know why I’m pushing him away, and it's for his own good. The image of me killing him is still very fresh in my mind.
    I close my eyes and concentrate on breathing. A huge part of me wants to tell Jason that I’m sorry, and start to kiss him again, but I know I won't stop with kissing. I will kill him. When his tongue was in my mouth I wanted to bite it and let the blood drip down my throat. I would have, if I didn’t pull away, and now my head and stomach hurt.
    I drop to my knees, and cradle my head in my hands. I welcome the cool wetness soaking into my jeans. I wonder if this is what my father went through when he was drinking out of a bag, and not a human.
    “Victoria!” I nearly cry when I hear Nathan's voice. He will help me and keep Jason away. “Oh my God what did you do to her?” Nathan isn’t a violent man, but when it comes to me, he just might be.
    “I didn’t do anything,” Jason says, sounding confused and a little angry.
    “Nathan,” I say and start choking. I feel warn familiar arms wraps around me.
    “It’s okay honey. I’m here,” Nathan says, and I snuggle into his chest. “Are you completely out of your mind, or just a little?” he whispers into my ear.
    Nathan puts his arms under me and picks me up into his arms. “Thanks for getting me Jason.”
    As Nathan carries me away, I glance at Jason one last time, and he is
