couldn’t control myself. But
you’re different; you’re the one in control, not your hunger.” I force myself to
smile at him, and then I reach out and grab my phone. I scan my contacts again,
and this time I push send. I can feel my frozen heart racing in my icy chest, as I
wait for an answer. The phone rings, and then I hear my uncle’s husky voice.
“Hello,” He says in a firm tone –wow he’s loud. I part lips as I get ready to
respond.
     
“Hi,” I say. My voice is shallow and I don’t think that my uncle has heard my
words. I clear my throat and as I begin to speak again, my uncle speaks first. “Rose is that you? ” His voice is broken and desperate. I can tell that he is
worried and annoyed. I need to reassure him that I am fine.
     
“Yes, it’s me. I’m sorry that I didn’t call earlier.”
    “Where are you?” My uncle says in an icy tone. Dalton’s eyes dart to mine and
he urges me to speak. I clear my dry, thirsty throat for the millionth time, and I
bring myself to talk.
“I’m with Dalton. I won’t be coming home tonight.”
    “Now wait a minute young lady!” My uncle screams down the phone at me. I
flinch and pull the phone away from my ear. I don’t know if it’s my vampire
hearing, or the fact that my uncle is crazy mad right now, but I can’t listen to his
voice. His words are deafening and they have vibrated through me. His tone
was icy, and I can feel my anger and desire for blood rising. My eyes are
stinging, and I have realized that they only sting, when they flash red. My hands
start to shake and I feel like snapping the phone in half. But I remember
Dalton’s advice, and I breathe through my burning rage. I take several deep
breaths and the stinging in my eyes disappears. I feel Dalton’s hand grazing my
lower back, and I flash him a thankful smile. I pull my phone back to my ear,
and I force myself to lie –again.
    “Uncle George I know that you might not feel … comfortable about me staying
with Dalton. But I can assure you that he is the perfect gentleman. He never
does anything out of place and I … love him. I won’t be coming home for a few
days. I have time off work, and I want to spend that time with Dalton. We have
made plans for the next few days, and I don’t want you to worry about me. I’ll
call you again soon, goodbye.” I hang up before my uncle has time to shout at
me. I throw my phone down onto the bed in anger. Dalton tries to soothe me.
He lightly caresses my shoulder with his hand as I try to choke back my tears.
    “Relax baby you did a good job. Your Uncle can’t see you like this. At least not
until you’re fully in control of your bloodlust. Speaking of blood, are you
hungry?” I swirl my tongue in my dry mouth, it feels like it could crack from
my hunger.
    “I’m starved!” I say in a dry voice. Dalton smiles at me and he takes my hand as
he jumps off the bed. We fly across the room and through the open the door. We
glide along the hallway, and we step out into the murky night of Portland.
Dalton walks me towards his car, but I am confused when he doesn’t stop at the
Porsche. Instead, he continues to rapidly walk across the driveway in the
direction of the forest. I look back at the car as I wonder why he is taking me
into the woods. He senses that I am confused, so he tries to fill me in.
    “It’s better if we walk to town. I want to show you the perks of being a
vampire.” I smile at him and I am excited. I am not even sure that I am
supposed to feel this way, but being a vampire has made me feel things that I
never did before. My true emotions are on show, and I love that Dalton is here
to help me adjust to my new life. I was really worried that he would hate me for
what I did. But he has surprised me, he hasn’t screamed, or gotten mad at me.
Instead, he has been there to help me through the change. I am confident that
with him by my side, I will excel as a vampire.
    We reach the trees and my new ears adjust to the
