• Rome sat down next to me, and put his arms around me. He pulled me into his lap. "Rome. I don't want to be a vampire so soon!" Somehow that only made me cry harder. "Shh... The change only takes 24 hours or more. It only stings a little. It'll be over in no time! But you do need to change as soon as possible. You need to get used to it. It's either tonight or tomorrow night, Nicky." Did I want to be like him, perfect in almost every way? Yes. I had chose him. I took in a deep breathe. "Change me tonight." He layed me down on our bed. He walked over to a mirror and took out contacts. Wait, contacts?! He looke over at me. His eyes weren't blue anymore. They were black... No a really dark red. "Rome..." I whimpered. "Don't worry. My eyes are just red because my mind knows I will be changing you. Yours will be some shade of purple. My orginal color, when I'm not changing someone, is black but sometimes gray." I nodded. He walked over and kissed me. "I love you. I'm sorry for this pain your about to endure" He moved down and kissed my neck once then bit in. I screeched as I felt his venom pure into my veins. It stung. It felt like putting pure alcohol on a fresh open cut. My vision went dark. I felt Rome pull his teeth out of my neck. He ran outside. This pain... It was almost unbearable! I tried to move, scratch at my neck, something to stop this pain. I think I passed out then...

    When I felt awake I tried to open my eyes. Nope. My body wouldn't listen. I tried to move again. Everything on my body wasn't listening to my mind. Am I dead, did the change seriously kill me? No. The pain was fading from my toes. It felt icy as the sting was fading. "Nicky..." Rome sounded hurt. I needed to respond. But would my body listen? It was worth a try. "Rome it's cold." He laughed. "Your more beautiful then before!" I opened my eyes just as he hugged me tightly. I gingerly hugged him back. "Uh..." I looked around. Everything was so clear. I could hear maybe a good mile away. "Nicky?" I looked at Rome. "Sorry! It's just so... So... so amazing!" I grinned. "I know, dear. Now we can be together. I love you." His tone was clearly loving. I leaned away from him to really look at me. It was like seeing him for the first time. His eyes had gone to light black. He was so... Sexy! I got up and ran to the bathroom My hair was still strawberry blonde but my eyes had gone purple. I was a filiamar stranger. Rome appeared behind me. He was so... Mine! I just realized what that meant. He wanted to be mine. I giggled out of excitment."Wait! How long was I in changing?" I spun around and looked up at him. "Oddly.. You were changing out six days." I gasped. That meant either tonight or tomorrow night I'd have to face Tasha... Oh great! Just fabulous! Oh well. God, my throat burned. I needed to hunt. I hope Rome will go with me... "Will you go with me?"

    "Go with you where?" Rome looked... Well he looked like he was worried. "Hunting! My throat is killing me!" He led me outside. "Oh yeah, sorry." We walked to the dock. We jumped onto the boat. Rome started the boat. I guess I started daydreaming because Rome shook my shoulder. "Okay heres the deal. Be gentle at this place. People who have found out about our excistence have either been killed or have become donors." I looked at him. What was he saying? Donors? Woah... "D-donors?" We jumped onto Italy's mainland. "Yep." We started walking. "Ciao, Rome!" A girl ran up to us and fluttered her eyelashes at him. I lightly growled. "Ciao, Marissa! Come stai?" She smiled. "Marissa!" Her mother yelled from across the water-way. "B-bye!" She hopped onto the bridge and ran to her mother. Me and Rome turned and walked down a dark alley. We stopped in front of a black door with a red "X" on it. "Who is it?" A shakey old voice called from inside. "Romeo Smith and Nicky Kellog, coming to feed." The door opened and we ran inside. The door slammed behind us. Humans! Everywhere! Oh they smelled so good... My muscles tensed. I walked over to a woman and Rome walked over to a young man. "Hello Miss! I am a donor." She tilted her head to the side, smiling. "Ne venom, please!" She sheirked. "Instinct, Nicky..." Rome bit the young man. I sighed and bit the woman in front of me. To my suprise it was soft and warm. The blood poured into my mouth. The woman moaned. Oh great! I took what I needed and ran out the door we came in. I leaned against the alley wall. I slid down the wall and put my head in my hands. Rome ran out to meet me. "I'm a ******** monster!" I said loudly. "First times always hurt. You'll get us-." I stopped him by putting my hand up. I started crying. "Nicky! Watch out!" A black figure slinked down the alley. It had bright, glowling red eyes. It was looking straight at me. "Nicky, run!" Rome got me to my feet just as the black figure grabbed my leg.
