Shane roamed the woods long after her hunt, she needed time to think. The only thing that seemed to occupy her mind now was Carmen. She hated the way she felt when she thought of her. It was like she couldn’t live without this girl but that was impossible. They didn’t belong to together and even if they did get together it wouldn’t last. She was a vampire and she was a human. The two were not to mix in any kind of intimate relationship. Carmen was prey and she was the predator. Being with her would be like a lion being with a lamb but no matter how far she ran she couldn’t escape those brown eyes, the wavy hair, the angelic face, and the scent. The scent of Carmen would prove disastrous to her if she even indulged her desires but she needed to be around her. Even if it would cause her discomfort but she knew that merely being around Carmen would give her unimaginable bliss she had a decision to make.

Kit: It’s about time you got back

Shane: Had to think.

Kit: Just go to her.

Shane looked at Kit in surprise. This was unheard of for a vampire to want to have more than a predatory feeling towards a human.

Shane: But I would be putting her in danger.

Kit: You don’t know that. Would you want to walk around for the next hundred years or so regretting this one decision? That is a lot of time to regret.

Shane nodded. She knew Kit was right and she decided that she was going to take the chance. Shane hoped into her car and drove all the way home.

I’ve gone for too long living like I’m not alive
So I’m going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I’m gonna make sure it’s replaced
With chances taken
Hope embraced
and have I told you?
I’m not going
cause I’ve been waiting for a miracle
And I’m not leaving

Alice: It’s about time. We almost left without you.

Shane looked at her family confused as the rest of them piled into the jeep and Alice threw her the keys.
