"Charles! There you are!" Eliza giggled as Charlie pulled her towards his body. He placed a quick kiss on her lips and chuckled.

"Please do excuse me gentlemen, but there is something i must do with miss Eliza." he said, not waiting for an answer as he dragged the girl out of the room.

As soon as they were out of sight, Charlie grabbed Eliza's hand and sped upstairs into the bedroom.

He pinned her up against the wall and started kissing her, not noticing the blood rushing up to his eyes.

Eliza let out a small moan as Charlie moved onto her neck, placing small kisses in any bit of bare skin.

His fangs came out and he let out a small chuckle as he pulled away.

"May i?" he asked softly, his smile turning into a smirk. Eliza just nodded eagerly and brought his head forward, not quite realising what she was doing.

Charlie bit into her neck and drew blood, only to pull away at the sound of a door slamming.

"What do you think you're doing?" Ren questioned, putting no effort in calming his cravings.

"Feeding, duh."
"Charles, there's at least 100 people downstairs and i am struggling very hard to contain myself. Your little ragdoll's blood is about to set me off and you know it."

Charlie laughed and shrugged. "You wouldn't dare hurt my Eliza. I couldn't care less about those filthy rich men downstairs." he said, focusing his attention back on her neck.

"My humanity came back only a week ago, Charlie. I can't fully control my bloodlust at the moment. Heal Eliza right now or else this could all go very wrong."
"Lawrence, we were kind of busy before you came it."

Ren was about to speed up to the girl when he suddenly gripped onto the doorframe, chipping a big chunk of it off.

"Now, Charlie." he groaned, trying his best to not run to Eliza and tear her throat out.

Charlie finally got sense of the situation and bit into his wrist, drawing blood of his own. He was about to give it to Eliza but he was suddenly thrown across the room.

Before he realised what Ren was doing, he heard a rushed apology and the sound of Eliza's screams.

The next thing he saw was her body laying lifeless on the oak floorboards.

Dead.

"So, do you believe in the supernatural?"

Ren choked on the water he was drinking. "The supernatural?" he repeated.

Juliet nodded and smiled. "Did i not mention that i have a degree in occult studies?" she asked.

Ren stared at her in shock and shook his head slowly. "I will admit, i haven't actually been allowed to view any work or evidence that proves the existence of the supernatural, but that's why i'm trying so hard so get promotions. The closer i am to my boss, the closer i am to all the archives." she said, spooning up some ice cream from her bowl.

Ren cleared his throat and placed his chin on his elbow, pretending to look confused. "I can't really say i've ever really thought about the possibility that supernatural creatures actually exist. What made you into them?" he asked.

"I've been having these weird dreams for a while now. They don't feel like dreams, though. More like real life, or a memory at that." Juliet explained, laughing when she looked up and saw Ren.

"I'm boring you, aren't i?"
"What? No, not at all. I'm actually finding this very interesting. Please continue." he said, sitting up to make him look more interested as she went on about werewolves and witches.

He didn't really care that much about what she was saying until she brought up the long awaited subject of vampires.

"I managed to take a look at some archives all about vampires and i think i've come to a conclusion that the person i'm seeing in my dreams is a vampire. It's just that nobody really believes me." she sighed, frowning slightly.

Ren reached across the table and placed his hand over hers. "I believe you, Juliet." he smiled.
"Well of course you do, Ren. You're the vampire i'm seeing and you know it."
"What?"

Juliet raised her eyebrow and looked at him weirdy. "I said thank you, Ren. Are you okay?" she repeated slowly. Ren let out a sigh and smiled, giving her a brief nod. He imagined the last part.

"So does the vampire you're seeing look similar to anyone you know?" he asked, attempting to change the subject. "Honestly? Yeah, he looks a bit like you, but something seems off. Do you have a brother?" she joked, giving him a small smile.

Ren pursed his lips and nodded, "I do, actually. His name is Charlie but we're not really on good terms at the mo-"

The boy abruptly stopped speaking and used his vampire-hearing to pick up on a voice outside.

"Awh, come on baby brother! I thought we were doing great together!"

Charlie.

"I'm sorry, i really need to use the bathroom." Ren sighed, smiling gratefully when Juliet gave him the directions.

"What are you doing?" he whispered once he got into the bathroom and locked the door.
"Ohhhh nothing in particular, i'm just getting bored to be honest."
"Okay? And?"
"Tell her, Ren. Or i will."
"You wouldn't."
"Yeah? Try me."

Ren sighed and frowned. He knew he had to tell her tonight for her sake, not for Charlie's.

He made his way downstairs slowly, trying to use that time to think of what he was going to say to her.

"Oh, there you are Ren." she smiled when he walked into the dining room.
He gave her a brief smirk but it quickly faded away.

"I need to show you something but i also need you to not freak out." he said quietly, his eyes boring into her.

He could easily compel her to stay calm but he's compelled her enough since he's met her, if she ever turns into a vampire she'll remember everything.

"Why would i freak out?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ren took in a deep breath and sped towards her, stopping abruptly a few centimetres away from her.

"Because i'm a vampire."
