Chapter Three
Nicole knew that she just needed some sleep, the red head quietly turning off her computer as she sighed and stood from the computer desk. Pushing in her chair, she silently went into her room and laid down to get some rest. Surprisingly, she managed to sleep right away and found herself have a dreamless rest. The hours flew by and before she knew it, early morning had finally arrived.
Opening sleepy eyes, she made her way into the kitchen and managed to find some food. Finding the poptart she had been craving from the day before, she popped it into the toaster and waited sleepily near the counter for it to be done. She didn't dare let herself think about the night before, the young woman deciding that she had read one too many ghost stories.
Grabbing her plate, she sat down at the table and ate the food. Despite her earlier ordeal, she managed to finish her breakfast before she had looked at the time. It was almsot eight in the morning, an early time for her to be awake. Normally she was able to sleep til at least nine thirty, but she figured because she was in a new house, her body just didn't want to lay around and get the extra rest. Quietly she washed her plate and made her way into the living room. She glanced at her computer, the thought of Cornelius making her skin crawl as she looked away. Last night couldn't had been real right? But it was impossible to think she had dreamed of the whole thing.
Shaking her head, she decided it would be best if she did something to clear her mind. Changing into comfortable clothes, she made sure she had the key to her house before she walked out the door and headed out on a nice morning run.
The sun was beautiful and the warmth of it's heat felt good against her skin. The light breeze cooled off her body gently and it easily whipped back her red locks as she continued jogging. She hadn't been on a run for a while and was pretty surprised in herself when she didn't call it quicks on the fourth block. Instead, she managed to make it all the way down to a local park before she had stopped. She stretched a little, knowing that it was bad to do it this late, but she figured that it was best to do it now instead of never. When her muscles had loosened, she headed back home, her mind clearing up just like she had hoped.
After the refreshing run, she finally made into the house right on time to hear the phone ringing. Wondering who it could be, she picked up the device and brought it to her ear.
"Hello?" she said breathlessly as she put an arm on her side to try and catch her breath.
"Oh, Nicole, sweetie!" said an older woman followed by a small chuckle. "How was your first night at your place? Was it scary? Did you make sure to..." she continued on, rambling about how she was terribly missed and the list of 'chores' that she should be doing.
Even though she was being lectured, Nicole couldn't help but smile as she heard her mom's voice. She missed her very much and after the episode the night before, she needed to be comforted.
When the phone call was over with a promise to visit soon, Nicole hung up and ended up eating a quick lunch. Seeing that it was barely the afternoon, she went out to her small green house and started to tend to her garden. She had wanted to do a project of her own and even though she had killed every plant when she was younger, she was determined to try and grow something out of her garden away from home.
The work had gone on with little trouble, Nicole careful about pulling out the weeds and making sure to give her plants enough water before she had called it a day. She had managed to pass at least two hours in her garden and despite being all sweaty and a mess, she was proud of the hardwork she had done. Going inside, she took a nice cool shower and slipped on her pajamas. Finally nice and clean, she sat down on the couch, turning on the t.v to catch the evening news. The sight of the darkneing room made Nicole look outside, remembering the new male she had met.
She had spoken about seeing him again, but that was before she had done the research. If he was real, she should go back and see him, but she was pretty convinced that what had 'happened' last night wasn't true. Turning back to the t.v, she laid out on the couch and sighed. She managed to find some movie of interest and instead remained where she laid, listening to the drama of two women fighting over a man on t.v before her eyes started to grow heavy. With little resistance, Nicole fell asleep, not knowing that she indeed was being waited upon by a certain vampire.
~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Cornelius had gone with his normal routine, waking up late in the evening and then going to his chambers to have his meal for the night. This time he had managed to find a drunk man in the street and had easily brought him back to his land to wait for him to sober up. When his blood was clean, the Vampire had his fill before he disposed the body. He doubted that anyone would miss the other, and so after cleaning his face of blood, he had went into his home to wait for the young human girl who had decided to pay him a visit.
However, as time went by, he saw that it was getting later and later and she hadn't appeared. Had he really scared her off last night? No, that couldn't be it. She didn't seem afraid of him. So, why hadn't she stopped by yet? Frowning at his own thoughts, he shook his head as he turned his attention else where. What was he doing waiting for a human girl to come and see him? He was a monster, nothing else. He didn't deserve her company and more importantly, he didn't need it. He was dangerous and the last thing that he wanted was to bleed her dry. Not wanting to think of Nicole, he went over to his piano and took a seat.
He closed his eyes and started to play a familiar melody. With skilled fingers, the old house filled with music as Cornelius continued to play his song. A smile soon appeared on his lips, a relaxed expression on his face as he played. He felt a lot better now, the music reminding him as to when he was growing, back to when things were harder, but he was happier. However, when his thoughts went back to his wife and child, he suddenly hit a foul note and stopped his movement. Opening crimson eyes, he blinked a few times at the keys before looking out the window.
"Something might've happened," he said to himself suddenly as he stood up. Steping out of his house, he suddenly found his way out the gate and heading down the street.
He walked and walked, not knowing where he was going. The crisp night air felt nice, even if his skin was about as cold as the air around him. The new blood did warm his body somewhat, but it never stayed for very long. It always disappeared, something that Cornelius had to get used to. As he passed house after house, he suddenly stopped when he caught the familiar scent of sweet fruit hitting his nose. He turned to his right, stopping in mid step as he found himself standing infront of Nicole's dewelling.
Not quite sure why he was here, his instincts suddenly started to take over as he looked around, looking in every window and sniffing around until he finally caught sight of her. She was asleep, the Vampire peering into the window as he saw the human girl laying comfortably on her sofa, dreaming away. He seemed to be drawn to her form, his body stepping closer as he continued to stare. During the day he ddin't exactly sleep, his body more like going into a coma before he would wake as soon as the sun had gone down and the world was in complete darkness.
He put his hand to the glass, not moving his eyes from her body as he saw how her chest rose and fell with each breath. He no longer needed to breathe, but he did it just because he was used to it and when he went out hunting, he wanted to look as normal as he could. When his eyes fell over her hips and to her legs, he suddenly blinked into focus before pulling away. Why was he here staring at her? Obviously this was the reason she hadn't showed up and although he wasn't angry at her, he still felt that she owed him. Taking a step back, he turned to get ready to leave before he suddenly caught sight of the door to the house.
He stared at it, suddenly getting the urge to go into her house. Nicole was fine, he saw this and yet he still wanted to go inside. The thought of being close to her was something he wanted, but would he be able to control himself? He had no right to be in her home and yet, no matter how he seemed to argue with himself, the Vampire found his way going to the front door and reaching out to grasp the knob and turn it...
Zorom:
