eyes with his.  She watched as his eyes moved down to her mouth.  Staring at her lips as if he thirsted for her kiss.
         The next reaction he had wasn’t one she understood or expected.  He blinked his eyes and then turned back washing the plate.
         Keira moved away, giving them the distance that he needed.  That she needed.  She didn’t know what had gotten into her but she hadn’t come for this.
         When she reached enough distance between them she turned back looking at him.  “Who are you?  Really?”
         “I’m your protector.”  His answer wasn’t what she wanted.  He had already told her that much but now she needed to know exactly why it was she needed a protector to begin with. 
         “Yeah I know but why do I need a protector?”
         “Because you’re different.  You’re like me.  Not human.” He struggled with the words to tell her what she needed to know without sounding to corny.  So he decided it would be better to just be truthful.
         “I’m not human?”  Her words were paused and struggled from the shock.  How could she not be human she thought. Maybe this was a big mistake coming here with him.  Taking a step back she looked him in the eyes. Somehow she knew she was safe and whatever he had to tell her she should believe.
         “No.  You’re an Evol. “
         “A what?”
         “You are one of a kind.  Evols can only exist one at a time.  You have very strong abilities.  Ones that nobody knows.  Each Evol changes.  Their abilities grow each time.  They evolve if you will.  The older you are the stronger your abilities are.  Your life will not be like that of a human.  You will not die of natural causes.  You have the gift of immortality.”
         “Immortality?   I won’t die from natural causes?  There can only be one.  So that means if I die I am killed.  All the others have been killed!”  Her breathing picked up.  Rapidly she sucked in the air around her.  “What am I a Vampire?  I have never had an urge to bite anyone.  Maybe like the highlander? Is someone going to chop off my head?”  Her anxiety level rose quickly.
         “Keira, slow your breathing down, you’re going to hyperventilate.”
         Connor was by her side in a flash.  His hands gripped her shoulders as he spoke to her softly.  “Slow deep breaths.  In and out.  Come on slow em down.”  She stared into his eyes.  She no longer had difficulty with the information she had just been given, but his touch was stirring her in places she didn’t know existed.
         Her heart beat harder than it ever had before.  Her skin began to burn and flush.  Her eyes began to blur and then Connor became clearer than he had ever been before.  As if she was looking through at a magnifying glass into his eyes she could see shades of blue circling around his pupil.  She watched his pupil adjusting, growing larger then smaller. 
         She couldn’t believe what she was seeing and began to blink her eyes rapidly.  The more she blinked the hotter her skin grew.
         “Ouch!  Keira calm down.  Breathe slower, you have to control yourself.  Think about something calm.  About somewhere you want to be.  Something you would like to do.”
         Connor didn’t know it but he had just added fuel to the fire.  She closed her eyes tightly as she began to imagine his naked body walking towards her with the intent on making her his. 
         Suddenly and without warning she felt her body fly backward at a fast rate landing hard on the floor several feet away.  The wind knocked from her she fought to breathe.  Again everything blurred around her.  She turned her head looking for Connor and the image she saw frightened her.  He lay against the cave wall with his back towards her not moving.  She picked up on a faint smell of blood before the room went
