Megan quickly checked her reflection in the mirror, making sure her signature red lipstick was correctly applied. When discovering it had yet to smudge, she smiled happily and turned her attention back to where it should have never left; her fiancé, Jace. Taking her hand in his, she grinned slowly and ruffled his hair with her other hand. “God, I love it when you leave it unruly like this,” she complimented, once again getting lost in those breath taking eyes of his. How she managed to find a boy as fantastic as this one still kept her up at night. It was a mystery, but one thing was for sure. He definitely made her a better person. Jace met her at a very, very low point in her life. A point she’d prefer not revisit, even mentally. And yet, it was hard not to. The nonstop drinking and drug abuse, the loss of memory, the complete disregard for night and day and other social norms people took for granted. She was speeding on the highway to Hell. But Jace saved her. Not religiously speaking, but rather, emotionally. He showed her that it was possible, hell, even preferable, to have a good time without causing abuse to yourself and other people. That was a concept that would have sounded completely foreign to her a year ago. And she owed it all to Jace; the love of her life. The most honest and courageous man she’d ever met.

Aaron’s heart was pounding in his chest. Or at least, it would be, if he had a heart that pounded. In other words, he was nervous. And terribly so. Cassie was present, the time was right. Or at least, as right as it would ever be. He’d spent the last four years lying a lie that could take a millennium to get out of. But he had to do it. He just hoped, prayed, that she would find someone who would treat her better than he would. She deserved it, she deserved the absolute best and nothing less. He wasn’t worthy of her beauty, of her intelligence. If he was, then he wouldn’t have lead her down the road of fakeness, of lies and falsehood. But his biggest wish of all was that she wouldn’t be frightened with him. Assume things that could have never crossed her mind before. It was inevitable, for certain concepts and beliefs revolving around vampires and vampire cultures were hard to shake off. And he would be throwing her into his world head first; with no previous precautions. She was strong and able, he knew that. But exactly how strong and able was she? It would be now or never. “Cassie, darling, may I show you something?” He asked, interrupting the episode of Breaking Bad they were watching. He watched as her head turned in slow motion to face him, the smile that he would miss ever so dearly planted on his face. Come on, Aaron, it was now or never. “May I show you something? It’s quite important,” he stressed.

no problem dove. ;3

Megan relaxed against Jace’s arms as she felt them envelop her tightly, her head pressed up against his chest. She wondered if such a simple gesture caused his heart to speed up as much as hers. She supposed she would never know for sure; Jace suffered from an irregular heartbeat, so whenever she pressed her head up against his chest she heard nothing. At first it had scared the shit out of her, but once he explained it to her it seemed quite rational. And that was why his diet was so strange, and he never seemed to be able to finish a plate of food without looking sick. How he managed to keep his body so sculpted and perfect without taking in much protein or fibers still wasn’t completely clear to her, but why argue with something that made her feel good? Whenever they went to the beach and Jace stood there shirtless, in a pair of swimming trunks, females lost their minds. His body was inhumanely perfect, his chest to weight ratio in proportion to his height was unheard of. He’d been scouted by modeling agencies before, but always claimed that kind of lifestyle wasn’t for him. Which, to be honest, was another one of his traits that drove her crazy in love. He was always so true to himself. “Of course Jace, what’s up?” She asked, standing up and wondering what else he could possibly surprise her with. Her engagement finger suddenly felt heavier as she remembered the sparkling 22 karat diamond that sat upon it, a lock and key that the two of them would spend the rest of their lives together. She honestly didn’t need any more from him. “Did you finally found a recipe that sounds good to you?” She joked, hoping it was true. It was very difficult, almost impossible to cook for Jace. But she built up resistance towards that a while ago, and it doesn’t bother her anymore.

Aaron gulped as he rose from the couch and extended his arm out to Cassie, who promptly took it with a smile on her face. “Those shorts look great on you,” he admitted, deciding he would ravish her verbally as much as he could before confessing. Granted, he preferred to ravish her physically, but he knew that would be a horrible move to make before admitting that he couldn’t spend the rest of his life with her. He would seem like a complete and utter dick, and that was not how he wanted Cassie to remember him by. If she choose to remember him at all, and the time they spent together. Which, quite honestly, wouldn’t surprise him if she didn’t. He proceeded to pull her down the hallway and toward the closet that was filled with extra towels and a broom. As well as a door to another realm. A vampire realm that Cassie was not familiar with, but that he was the prince of. He look one last  look around at his human life before opening the door slowly. Turning back to Cassie, who seemed quite confused, he took a deep breath, and began. “Cassandra,” he hoped to God he didn’t cry. “I haven’t been completely honest with you the past four years,” he stepped inside the closet slowly, pulling her in with him. A random gust of wind shut the door behind her, causing a bit of surprise to spring in her eyes. All the windows and front door were locked. The floor under them began to spin as he continued. That was it, they were being teleported. “The thing is, Cassie, I’m not human. I’m far from it. I’m a vampire.”

    Megan’s heart almost knocked her chest wide open with it’s extreme beating as Jace pressed his lips against hers. No matter how many times that gesture had been repeated, it still managed to drive her completely and uttery bonkers. “I love your lips,” she whispered into his mouth but noticed a slight tightening in his jaw. And then for some reason, he pushed her into the closet and shut the door, causing her mind to fill with confusion. “Ah, baby? I think we can make it into the bedroom if you’re in a rush or something. I doubt it would be very comfortable here,” she suggested, but the idea was quickly replaced with shock and surprise. A cold gust of wind flew at them, and her vision was suddenly enveloped with shots of dark blue and red. She went right back to her drug days, the same kind of site she’d seen after taking too many acids. Once the room finally stopped spinning, she fell right into Jace, quite dizzy. “Baby, what the hell just happened?” She began to ask, but was quickly silenced by Jace’s declaration. A-a vampire? That more or less snapped her out of her dizziness. “What do you mean, you’re a vampire?” She asked, bouncing off of him suddenly. It wasn’t that she was frightened, just a shocked. And annoyed that he hadn’t bothered mentioning that before. “What if we have children, Jace, when did you plan on telling me? Or did you just want my child to come out with a set of fangs and me to have no previous explanation why?” She placed her hands on her hips and sighed. It really wasn’t that big of a deal, in fact, it was a tad bit exciting. Scratch that. It was really, really exciting. She just wished he told her before. At least now he could eat in front of her. “Where are we?” She asked suddenly, remembering the episode in the broom closet they were standing in.

Aaron’s eyes widened as Cassie remained calm, cool, and collected through the transportation period. He thought it would cause her to react. But it didn’t. And when he finally admitted the truth to her, she was barely upset. In fact, she liked it! She thought it was sexy and alluring. Raising an eyebrow, he had to bite down on his lip to remind himself that this was no laughing matter. Taking his hand, he placed it on hers over the door handle. “Allow me,” he suggested, and she quickly removed her hand. Aaron muttered an incarnation and the door opened slowly. Only they weren’t in their little house anymore. Beyond the closet stood high ceilings, dark wooden floors, and endless butlers and maids. He was home. The castle he grew up in, and so carefully escaped almost five years ago. “This, Cassie, is where I come from,” he began, stepping outside and taking her hand. He lead her out carefully, hoping she wouldn’t choose now to freak out. It would be a matter of minutes before the castle realized their was a mortal present, but if she screamed or did anything particularly unusual, she would only speed up the process. And he hoped to get all the information out before he was greeted by a few individuals he wasn’t exactly ready to meet up with. “Not only am I a vampire, Cassie, I am the prince of the land.” He bit down on his lip, hoping she wouldn’t break into laughter. He doubted she would understand the seriousness of the situation until he got to the darkest part. The part that involved them ending their relationship.
