    “Okay… I’m calling a cab to take me home.” I started to stand.
                 
    “I... I have started all wrong, just give me a moment,” he said behind me. By this point, I was halfway up the little hill. “Please, Vanessa… you don’t even know where you are; it’s late and New York can be a dangerous place at night.”
     
                  “Apparently, where you are is worse; I will take my chances,” I said, just coming to the top of the little hill.
     
                  “You’re probably right… but nothing will ever harm you again when you are around me; I won’t allow it.” His voice, full of conviction, made me stop, and when he took my hand, I turned. My anger and panic numb the tingles but they were still there and I wanted them there so I forced a measure of calm.
     
                  “How did you...” I asked confused as to how fast he climbed up here.
     
                  “Please, just listen to me for a moment; you can choose to believe me or not, either way, when I’m done, I will take you home. Here, you can even hold the key to the car,” he said, handing me a small square crystal. "If you still think I’m crazy and want to go home alone, you can have the car and I will stay out of your life as much as possible." How he said that made me believe him completely, but I took the key all the same. There was a part of me that wanted to run, a large part. There was also a small part of me, a very powerful part, that wanted to just hear him speak.
     
                  “Alik, tell me straight. What is going on; little girls playing with big knives, people turning into dust and disappearing, and whatever the hell else you did to me,” I said walking over and leaning against the car, desire winning out over the fear. 
     
                  “That was June, my sister. You might have seen her at Masteria; she is the DJ.”
     
                  “Where is she?” I suddenly became even more hostile. I’d like to blame the shock for that.
     
                  “She thought it would be better if she wasn’t here so you wouldn’t feel outnumbered and scared.”
     
                  "How do you think that’s working out," I said a little too hostilely and he looked hurt. "I'm sorry, go on."
     
                  "Well my sister and I aren’t human."
     
                  “Wait! I know what you’re going to tell me next,” he nodded and let me go on. “So we got people bursting into flames when exposed to a light... You are insanely fast, as you crossed that beach and climbed that hill without me noticing. I’ve only ever seen you out at night; I’m going to take a wild guess, blood is involved, as you've implied I’ve had some of yours…” I caught a glimpse of my palm and gave another shiver at the reflection of red. I then grabbed his face, pulling his lips apart and his white teeth sparkled in the moonlight. I placed a finger against one of his canines, forgetting that my hands were very dirty, and it pricked me. “ Ow..." I had to fight the urge to suck my finger. "You have fangs. Please don’t tell me you’re a fucking vampire.”
     
                  “What else do you want me to say?” he said with a little smile, and for some reason that set me off.
     
                  “Oh great!" I shouted and I began to pace a short distance. "Are you serious?! Is that the best you could come up with?” I said, getting louder by the second. “You being a blood drinker and raping me would make more sense.”
     
                  “I don’t love you for just your body!” he shouted and looked like he had said something he didn't want to and I allowed it to go unoticed. “This is serious,” he continued in a softer tone. “You don’t understand the position we are both in.
