Unknown POV

Again, I watched as he brought Elizabeth home. This time she was sound asleep, and he was carrying her in his arms, bridal style.

She should be in my arms! Not his, not this filthy man who calls himself human.

I still had no idea whether she knew Xander was a vampire or not. I was guessing she didn't because Xander seemed smarter than that, but who am I kidding, he probably told her the first day he saw her, claiming it was true love.

I growled inwardly, as he kissed her forehead, before leaving her to sleep. Once he was out of sight, I jumped up onto her roof and through her window. I didn't need to be invited in now because I already had long ago, well more like one year ago.

Standing in the corner of her room, I smiled watching her chest rise and fall. She looked so luscious in the moonlight, and I wanted her to be mine.

I walked over, and stroked through her soft hair. She began to stir at my touch, so I left through the still open window and disappeared into the starry night.

Ellie's POV

I woke up in my bed, almost surprised. Xander was quite the gentlemen. Last nights events ran through my mind, as I remembered falling asleep on Xander's shoulder.

Looking down, I noticed he had taken off my jacket and shoes, but I was still in my jeans, which were kind of uncomfortable. Time to change into pajamas.

I began to shiver as I realized the window was open. I can't believe he left the window open again.

"Xander, why did you leave the window open?" I asked, not really expecting an answer.

"I didn't leave the window open!" He said coming in through the window, that of course, was still open.

All of a sudden his nostrils flared, and his body tensed. His eyes flashed red for a moment before they returned to their usual blue.

"Hey, are you ok?" I asked him putting my hand on his shoulder.

He muttered something, but I couldn't hear what he said. He went to the corner of my room, then my bed, then the window again. He jumped out and ran off.

"What the heck are you doing?" Is he tracking something?

"Not something but someone," He said, as he began pacing pack and forth.

"Wait, did you just read my thoughts again?" I asked glaring at him softly.

"Yeah. . . uh. . . sorry," he muttered, as if he wasn't even on the same planet as I was.

He continued pacing around my bedroom, his hand on his chin. He really was lost in thought.

"Hey, earth to Xander!" He looked up at me, and mumbled something.

"What do you keep mumbling about?!" I asked, as I grabbed his hands causing him to stop pacing.

He looked me straight in the eyes, and I could tell he was extremely worried. I'd never seen that look on him before. I'd never seen the look of fear in his eyes. He was usually so relaxed and laid back.

"Xander your eyes there um.." I tried to change the subject, if there even was one in the first place.

"Yeah, I know, I know! Listen, I think. . . Well I think someone's stalking you," He said slowly as if careful to choose his words.

"I thought you were the one stalking me before?" I asked him, now nervous.

"Well no, there is someone else watching you. They were in your room Ellie!"

"Ellie, if they came in here they have been invited in!" He said growing more worried by the moment.

Does that mean the person is a vampire?

"Yes!" Xander yelled, ignoring the fact that he wasn't supposed to read my thoughts.

"Wait we have off school next week!" He said as he began mumbling again.

"And that's important why?" I asked him growing impatient.

"My parents have a cabin near the beach in South Caroline, and maybe we could stay there to see if the person follows us. I will be there to protect you so we will be fine."

He had a pretty good idea, and even though it was still cold out I would love to go on vacation to the beach.

"Alright," I said wearily, "but can I ask Skyler and Caroline to come? Please?" I begged him making puppy dog eyes.

"Sure. Why don't you invite their boyfriends as well? The more protection the better."

"Awesome!" I said in a weird sing song voice has he started laughing at me.

"Alright tell your parents, text your friends, and start packing I will pick you up tomorrow at 3:00." He told me.

"Tomorrow?" I asked shocked.

"I know its a little too soon, but I need to know who is stalking you, and I think you need a break."

I nodded, as he jumped out the window. He blew me a kiss from outside before shutting the window. I locked it tightly before returning to my seat on my bed.

Taking my phone I created a group message so I wouldn't have to text everyone separately.

I texted:

Hey everyone! Tomorrow Xander and I will be heading to his families cabin. It would be awesome if you can join us for spring break! We would leave tomorrow at 3:00 and stay until Friday afternoon. Please RSVP by tomorrow morning. -Ellie

I sent the message, and waited anxiously for them to respond. In the meantime I got out my suitcase to begin packing. I laid out 6 outfits and 3 pairs of PJ's. Walking into the bathroom I packed my makeup kit, a tooth brush, toothpaste, and a hair brush. Opening my closet I grabbed my flip-flops, for the beach, my converse, for everything, and my flats, just in case we went somewhere nice. I finished packing my essentials so I grabbed my charger and my tablet.

Beep beep

The text was from Skyler. She must have been with Aden because it said, "Aden and I would love to come! Thanks for inviting us! We will be here by tomorrow at 2:45."

I did a little happy dance before collapsing on my bed. My stomach let out a low growl. Did I eat breakfast? Hah, nope.

Going into the kitchen I made myself a sandwich. Since I hadn't eaten breakfast I decided two sandwiches would be better than just one.

Through the window I could see my parents cars were still here so they must be sleeping. They have a tendency to sleep in a lot on days they are off, but I can't blame them.

I heard my phone ding from my room, so I went to see who had texted. It was Xander checking up on the status of our vacation.

It read:

Hey Ellie! Has anyone answered yet?

I was just about to reply when I realized Xander was standing behind me staring at me.

"So what is there to do at the cabin?" I asked him, sitting down on my bed with him.

"Hey, don't sound so glum there is lots to do. There is a town near by that we can go to. We also have a forest, beach, and hot tub."

"Ok. Sounds great!" I replied with a smile on my face.

Just then my phone lit up with a text from Caroline.

It read:

Josh and I are totally coming! There better be a hot tub though! We will be here 30 minutes early tomorrow just in case.

I texted back saying there is a hot tub, and earned happy responses from everyone in the group. I'm glad that they like the fact that there is a hot tub as much as I do.

"So everyone's going?" Xander asked reading my phone over my shoulder.

He's so tall it's not even fair. I can barely reach a box of cereal on the top shelf of the cabinet and he could probably dunk a basket ball no questions asked, then again that might be because he is a vampire.

"Yes everyone!" I answered back excitedly.

"Well I have some packing to do so I will be back tomorrow at 3:00," he said already halfway out the window.

Just as soon, my mom had opened the door, and came in asking me who I was talking to.

"Oh, I was just talking to myself, " I said, "hey mom, Xander has a cabin down by the beach, and I was wondering if I could go. Skyler, Caroline, Josh, and Aden are going. So can I, please?"

"Sure. Did you already pack?" She asked leaning past me to see the suitcase on the floor.

"Yeah I did," I said smiling. My mom nodded her head, and walked out the door closing it as she left.

I thought Xander had left, but he came back through the window and walked up to me. He looked down at me and straight into my eyes. Without warning he pressed his lips on mine. They were warm not the cold you would think a vampire would feel like. I felt like a thousand butterflies had filled my stomach.

Just as soon as he kissed me he had disappeared back through the window. I stood there flustered from what had just happened. My cheeks burned and were probably as red as a rose.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw my mom watching me from behind an almost closed door. She smiled at me, as my face turned extremely pale. Did she see him leave, or did she see him come back in? Does she now he's a vampire? Im so screwed!

"We have lots to talk about," she said before walking away.
