• "Uhhh....." Seemed to be the only thing I could come up with. Autumn simply smiled and walked over. " You don't strike me as the piano playing type, Luna. However I did enjoy listening in." He said. "Errr...Uhhh...." Looks like I'm stuck on unintelligible babel mode. "So...Would you like a tour? Seeing as you probably aren't interested in going back to your room quite yet, correct?" He said. He closed the piano up and after I pushed the chair in we left through another door.

    We walked through 2 living area's, 2 sitting rooms, and a 'smoking room'. I was both thoroughly impressed and at the same time disgusted. We finally came to another sitting room when Autumn motioned for me to sit down. After he got comfortable across from me he cleared his throat. "Luna, continuing where we left off on our last conversation...." He started. God thinking about that last talk made my mind reel. "Yeah ok....but on one condition.....you answer all of my questions got it?" I said. I got a, admittedly sexy/cute, smirk in return. " As I said before Luna You would be accompanying Marie during the mornings, myself in the afternoons for a short while, then left to your own devices afterwords." He said. " Ok...who's Marie?" I asked for simplicity's sake. "Marie was the woman you met before. She greeted me at the door when you first arrived." He answered. So that blonde who was dragging me and was the main reason I got a concussion. "And what exactly does 'accompanying' you involve?" I asked. "Simple. It's for me to train and instruct you." He answered. I gave him a confused look. What was he, my new tutor? Suddenly the light snapped off. I looked around but the room had no windows in it at all. It was nothing but complete and total darkness.....until I looked across from myself and saw nothing but red glowing eye's staring at me. I screamed and moved behind my chair. The lights flickered back on, but the only thing sitting in front of me was Autumn. The first time I saw that glow, when he took me from my home, it was faint and I could lie to myself and say it wasn't real.....but seeing it the way I had just now...It was honest to god scary. "W-what the hell are you Autumn?!" I yelled. He was quiet for a moment, staring at me. "What do you mean Luna?" He answered. "Your eye's.....they were....and before when you pulled me out of the house......" I mumbled. His face became a bit tense. "Luna....Are you aware that monster's are very much real and not as fictional as everyone would like to believe?" Autumn said quietly. I just stared at him. " I suppose beating around the bush with you only prolongs the inevitable so I'll be blunt. Luna, I'm a vampire." He said straight faced.


    I was quiet for about 5 minutes.......and then I began laughing like a crazy person. "Your joking right? Read to many romance novels? Or are you a twilight fan? Blue bloods? Come ON Autumn.....that's some serious bull sh-" I mocked until I looked at him. His face spoke nothing but seriousness. I faltered for a moment. Things clicked in my head but I denied them whole-heartedly. "Prove it." I said. The words hung in the air, making everything tense. That is until Autumn spoke, "Is that what you want Luna? A demonstration?' He asked harshly. Suddenly he wasn't sitting anymore....and I felt that pain when you get stuck with a needle in my neck...and the FREAKING PAIN.....I couldn't think, couldn't move, couldn't yell.....and after a few more mind numbingly painful seconds I couldn't keep conscious either.


    I woke up a little while later on one of the couches in the sitting room. My neck was throbbing......and then the panic set in. The whole monster talk and demo came to the fore-front of my mind. I bolted up and looked around the room. Just me.....with Autumn walking around the house somewhere. I brought my hand up to run it through my hair but stopped when I noticed something on my wrist. It was a small black tattoo.... it was right over the veins....it was about the size of a quarter and if I looked closely....it almost looked like a rose. My mind had just been blown. The door opening made me snap my head up and see Autumn walk in.....carrying a silver tray with a bowl, hand towel, a glass of water and a bottle of pain killers. I stared at him with the 'deer-caught-in-the-headlights' look. He put the tray on the floor next to him and knelt down in front of me. " I see your awake....take these it should help with the headache I'm sure you'll be getting." He said gently. And as he spoke I could feel the beginnings of one forming. He picked up the hand towel and dipped a corner of it in the water and put it on my neck. I jumped a bit and gave a very excruciatingly undignified squeak. He was quiet for a moment, then looked up at me with big blue puppy dog eyes. "For what it's worth....I am sorry.....but it's coming to the point where I need the assurance that you won't leave here Luna....It's not safe. Not anymore." He said. "Autumn...Just...Explain it to me...Cause this whole guessing game is driving me up the walls and I'm contemplating murder right now...." I said. He looked at floor like it was the neatest thing. " If.....If you want me to stay then I NEED to know I can trust you.....tell me the truth and show me that I can Autumn." I said. He looked up, " Alright....I'll give you a very brief overview...."He sighed. Finally it was coming down to getting the truth and not having to watch my back every second.....at least I hope so anyway.
