We thought you might have seen him, Onyx began, since you got on so well with him.
I havent seen anybody.
Not even Jagger? Onyx asked.
Noand for that Im grateful.
Really? I think hes kind of hot, Onyx confessed.
Scarlet and I were surprised by her admission of admiration for the alluring, but menacing, vampire.
I mean in a lonely sort of way, Onyx continued. I think he might just be misunderstood.
So, Scarlet said. Youre dating a vampire. Then youll become a vampire, too! Scarlet was beside herself with glee.
Uhwere waiting for the right time, I answered.
But dont you want to be like us? Scarlet asked.
Of course, I replied. Its been my lifes dream.
Then what are you waiting for
Its a big decision, Onyx defended. I dont know that Id turn someone. It is a lot of responsibility.
I would! Scarlet said. Its in our blood.
To change someones life forever? Onxy proposed. We were born into this. We didnt have a choice. And for Raven, it would be changing everything about her life as she knows it. It is something that should be thought through really carefully. Not so casual or in the moment, Onyx argued, reassuring me. Its okay, Raven, to take your time.
There is nothing wrong with being a vampire, Scarlet said.
I didnt say there was, Onyx retorted. But would you want to be mortalif you found your true love?
Scarlet thought for a moment. I guess youre right. It is a big decision.
I smiled in agreement. It was hardthese two girls took for granted a lifestyle I wanted so badly. They werent becoming vampires because of someone they loved or something they wanted to bethey were vampires because they were born vampires.
It was then I remembered why Id invited them.
Speaking of true love, I began. Ive got a really great guy I want you to meet.
Yes, tell us about Alexanders friend, Onxy said.
Hes really hot, I repeated. And hes looking for someone special.
Were special, Scarlet said.
Exactly! That was what I was thinking. I scooted close. He was enamored with my best friend, I confided. Only, shes mortal and has a boyfriend. And I dont want anyone in this town being bitten before me, I joked.
Yes, that wouldnt be fair, Onyx said.
Id die if some cheerleader showed up to a game with fangs, I told them.
That would be wrong on so many levels! Scarlet snorted.
She wouldnt be deserving, Onyx said. Not like you.
So I thought it would be wonderful if he could meet a nice vampire girl, I went on. And Dullsville is short on those.
