A/N: I try not to put a video with a gif at the same time because I don't know if the reader notice the video or the gif for the chapter. buttttt I found a video with Eliza Dushku as Faith Lehane the character I pictured Zoey would be. The song goes so perfectly with how Zoey is that I couldn't resist putting both of them together. If you want to see Zoey hunting in action watch, the video and hear the song so you can see Zoey hunting lol :) Let me know if I choose right :)

I did not own a cell phone, so I told Nathan to meet me at the movie theater. I went to a supermarket nearby and bought myself some cheap bread, turkey, mayonnaise, and cheese. As I was walking towards the checkout line, I notice they had popcorn on sale so I grabbed a package. I enjoy eating popcorn when my food ran out which happened often and I didn't have the patience to go grocery shopping.

I made myself a sandwich and went to the living room, which wasn't that big of a walk. My apartment was really, really small with only one bedroom. This apartment was empty except for a few pieces of furniture.

The only thing I bought and put in this apartment was a bathtub, a rug which was where I was now sitting on and an inexpensive coffee table I bought at a garage sale. I put the sandwich on a plate, then on the coffee table. I had plastic cups and I grab one I have been using for the past two days and fill it up with tap water.

I ate the sandwich slowly and gulped down with the water. Once I was done with dinner. I stood up to pick up my plate and the cup. I washed the plate and threw the cup in the trash. It outlived his usefulness. I stripped off my clothes letting them fall to the floor then walked towards the bathroom.

I made my shower cold today. I had no intention of meeting Nathan into the date. I only told him yes so he would leave me the hell alone.

So my clothes were my hunting gear, which was leather pants, a white tank top, and my only comfortable tennis shoes. I grabbed my hunting backpack, which had my stake, my notebook, and some minor items I kept just in case. I walked all the way to my gym first and went straight to the punching bag.

I open my bag and started bandaging my hands, then put on boxing gloves. I put the bag closed to me and started practicing on my punching and techniques. I was almost done with my first work out when-

"Nice move--" 

I stopped punching the bag and hug it to stop it from swinging all over the place. Once I knew it wouldn't hit the annoying human I turned to him with a glared on my face. "Fuck off." 

His eyebrows shot up in surprise at my attitude. He stood there stunned then turn on his heels and walked away. I smirk watching him walk away then went and work on the punching bag for a few more minutes. 

I grabbed my backpack and put it down next to the treadmill. I started with a walk, then a sprint, then a run. I ran until my legs beg me to stop. By the time I turn off the machine I was covered in sweats. I went to a separate area and work on doing some abs until it was hard to do one more.

I went to my bar and sat on my tool. I drank my usual two shots of vodka, I pay the bartender with cash and a wink so he would leave me the drink half price. I didn't do it often but I came here every day and my money was running low. I would not get a check from the school for two weeks.

So I had to be careful for the next two weeks. I went to my park and sat down taking down the notebook. I couldn't get lost in it. I had to get my senses open. I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited...

There was no vampire attack tonight not that I paid attention. I kept thinking about Nathan. Standing by the movie theater. Would he wait for hours? Or after a few seconds did he realized I wasn't showing up?  I laughed and I'm pretty sure I looked crazy laughing at myself... The only amusement tonight was picturing Nathan in the movie theater waiting. Other than that it was a boring night.

Eventually, I went back to my apartment. I took a really quick shower, just to clean the sweat off my body. I put on comfortable panties and a long shirt that I used as a pajama going to sleep with a smile on my face...

                                                                                       ***

Morning came and I let out a groan of frustration. I needed to do laundry and for some unknown reason, I haven't had the chance even though this apartment complex had a laundry that didn't cost that much to use.

I stared at the only clothes I could wear to school today with chagrin. It was all girly stuff I only use for emergency hunts when vampires didn't even bother to show up because they knew I was on the hunt. Ugh! I hated to use these clothes at school. Guys tended to think I did it on purpose to call their attention.

So I went with a really short mini skirt, a black high heel boots, and a dressed cream color dress shirt. I curled my hair and put on light makeup if I was dressing up I might as well go all out.

I was the first one to arrive at the culinary class. The teacher did not let me go to my spot. She walked all the way towards me and gave me a note. I frown and looked down at it, then at the teacher with a confused look on my face.

 "What's, this?" I murmured.

"You been withdrawn from my class, and that's a refund of what you paid in advance." The confused look on my face slowly changed into a glare. I felt some words starting to slip out of my mouth but I filtered them.

"Look you know--"

"You don't play well with others, yes. But what you pulled yesterday was uncalled for. That student did nothing to you for you to act that way--"

 I open my mouth to argue with her.  I didn't know what I was going to say since she was half right. But there was something deep down on me telling me. Nathan wasn't so pure and innocent. I closed my mouth right back up.

I sigh defeated. This was the first time I got in trouble like this. There was no point in arguing with the bitch. The look she was giving me said this decision was final. I turned on my heels and slapped the door open. 

I almost hit Nathan who managed to step back just in time before the door connected with his face. I gave him a short smirk and started to walk away with my frustration. I didn't know the asshole and he already cost me, culinary art class.

Of course, Nathan ignored the culinary class and followed me.

"Didn't you forget something last night?" 

I smiled crookedly and stopped walking turning towards him as I  leaned back against the wall looking at him defiantly. Nathan places his hands against the wall, on either side of my shoulders, and slowly moves closer. His face is only a few inches away from mine. My crooked smile grew bigger. He was mad.

 "Do you have any idea how long I waited in front of that movie theater for you to arrive?" 

I lifted my eyes from his angry gaze pretending to think about it. "I hope it wasn't long," I said with a tone full of sarcasm then slowly started to meet his angry gaze yet again.

"Hours." He said through clenched teeth and I laughed. "Do you have any idea, how much headage you would have saved me by saying no--"

"You weren't taking no for an answer, now did you?" 

He doesn't try to touch me, but he does lean even closer. I get ready to lift my leg to kick him in the groins. He was so close to me that even though he wasn't touching me, his hot breath hit my face. If he leaned closer our nose would touch and he would soon learn a lesson about personal bubbles.

"If you said it once more. I would have given up for the day." 

I smiled broader. "Fine. Nope. Now move." 

He took a deep breath and his annoyance with me disappeared replaced by his charming smile. "Let's go see the Twilight movie today." 

There was a lot of sarcasm in his tone. I had a feeling he knew I didn't like those types of movies. I had a feeling he wanted to take me to see that movie to make me pay for standing him up yesterday.  

"I have a feeling, girls like you love romance novels about a vampire and a human." He stretched the word love to make sure I heard it. 

My arms were limp to the side but my hands started to ball up into a fist. I glared at his stupid green eyes with annoyance.

"And I have a feeling guys like you hate movies like that--"

"It will show you, how much I really do like you,"  his tone was sarcastic.

"Fine. If you want to sit down, through two hours of hell, to get into my pants. Be my guess." 

He stepped away giving me breathing room. "Let's go now. You're dressed for a movie date." I turned to say no to him and give him an excuse about school. He stood in front of me with a knowing smile. "Fool me once shame on you..." I smiled already liking him. Nathan wasn't stupid. "You do know what they say about the second time."

So I skipped the rest of my classes and went to the movie theater with Nathan in his car. He didn't even trust letting me drive my own car. Nathan was dressed up today too. His hair was pulled back into a nice ponytail. He was wearing dress pants, with a white dress shirt that hung nicely to his chest. 

He parked the car and started to jog towards my side no doubt opening the door for me. I got out fast closing the door after me.  Nathan paid for the tickets. I made him spend thirty dollars more on popcorn, candies, nachos, a drink, etc.

"How are you still in shape. If you eat like this?" He murmured as we took our seats. 

I giggle eating the popcorn. I haven't had a decent meal for days now. Even though this wasn't healthy for me it was good and filling.

"I work out a lot... besides. I don't eat like this at all every day. Is one of those ones in a million type of thing."

"You're just doing it tonight, to make me spend money?"

"Does that anger you?" I asked with a hopeful smile.

"Not at all." I mentally groaned as the movie progressed.

I focused on eating junk food and ignoring the movie. Nathan kept stealing glances towards me hoping to see chagrin, but I fake it I kept smiling, reacting where I was supposed to, making him annoyed as the minute progress.

"OH come on! The guy is a fucking stalker and you like that!" 

All the girls in the movie theater Shhh at him. I grabbed a fist full of popcorn and ate it from my fist to hide a smile. He was so right, this right here... Was the reason I had a job.

Girls thought that in real life it would be like the books and the movies and got themselves in a dangerous situation. I have saved so many girls that trusted a vampire and believed their lies. Nathan groaned and slung deeper into his chair. "Can we go now?" He murmured and looked up at me. I glared and looked down at him.

"Nope. Is just getting good." He gave me a murderous glare...

                                                                         ***

Despite my excuse that I just wanted Nathan for sex I never made a move. I torture him for over a week now. Any sane man would of send me to hell at this point. He kept coming for more the next day. So instead of going to my bar after school, I was going out on dates with Nathan. After the horrible dates, I work out. I tried to make the next date worsed than the last but nothing worked.

One day I took him to do laundry with me in my apartment complex. That day was horrible he was actually enjoying himself. He helped me fold my clothes and started talking to me on the proper way to do it makes a point of showing me. Pissing the hell out of me that day...

Another time I took him to the zoo. That one was fun for me I made it into a race and even though I have never been to the zoo. I almost sprint while we were supposed to be walking and enjoying the animals. I didn't like the zoo or things similar. Animals were supposed to be free, not caged. By the end of the date, Nathan was annoyed with my little attitude...

Nathan claimed he was pursuing me. That he liked me, but I could see hate in his eyes when he stares at me which intrigued me a lot. It was the reason why I tolerated dating this guy for so long. The hate was permanent but there were rare moments where I would say something to Nathan that the hate in his eyes would leave for a second and awed would replace it. It never lasted long though.

Nathan had a fake smile he wore on each and every one of our dates. A smile I grew to detest, it was one of the reason's why I kept my distance and never made a move. Today we were at the park having a picnic. He brought the food and was the only thing about this date I was enjoying. 

Nathan showed me how to work with his phone and showed me this app called Pandora and told me to put on an artist and songs similar to that artist would come up. I put the name Britney Spears which was one of the few artists I knew. 

I tune out whatever Nathan was telling me. I knew a lot about his life now. We look more like friends than anything else and I grew tired of it. We have been supposedly dating for a fucking week, with no kiss, no touch that would involve romance, nothing! I have never in my 18 years have I been on dates like this. I could only tolerate a day with a guy maximum and that was to get a release. Dating this asshole for more than a week was more torture for me than him.

I was going to end all of this fakeness today.

"Do you like me?" I said interrupting whatever story he was telling me.

"Yes." He said like a damn robot. I glared at him but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

"Then why haven't you kiss me?" He stared and saw in his face the thought hasn't crossed his mind. "We been dating for over a week now, you haven't even leaned in to kiss me. Are you gay?" I smirk glad I could use his allegation he once used against me, against him. He leaned as to kiss me and I pulled back. "Now is too late."

"I was just... Scare, of you pulling away from me... We are doing so well."

"Really? Really!" I stood up angrily. "I have been torturing you all these weeks. You clearly hate me. Why are you pursuing me?"

"I do like you Zoey." He said again like a damn robot. He stood up slowly staring into my eyes. He looked around warily. I grunted in frustration and started walking away from him. It would not be fair to- Suddenly he was in front of me blocking my path. I gasp in pure horror feeling stupid. What kind of Slayer doesn't recognized a fucking vampire?

He closed his eyes for a quick second realizing his mistake. "You're a fucking vampire!" I raised my voice in disbelieve. He elevated his hands to show he didn't want to hurt me.

"Zoey... listen to me... I like-"

"Don't lie to me," I said through clenched teeth. In a swift and fast motion, he put a big hand on my leg and lift me putting me over his shoulder. He ran away with me on his shoulder vampire speed. 

I kicked my legs, trashed against his hold, punch on his broad back. In seconds we were at his cottage. He opens the door with one skillful hand, while the other one he kept around my ass so I wouldn't fall off his shoulder. I kept a string of curses all the way. Nathan locked the door and ran to his bedroom throwing me against the bed hard. I grunted with the impact and sat down fast scooting away from him.

"I do like you Zoey." He sounded honest, but I wasn't going to fall for that lie.

"Liar! I disgust you." He got on the bed and started crawling towards me until he was in front of me.  He grabbed my chin with two fingers and pulled me to him kissing me roughly and passionately. I gave him entrance into my mouth because he did not fake this kiss.

My hands snake into his neck and I pulled him closer sitting on his lap. Our tongue dances perfectly against each other. But even if this kiss was heated and passionate, it didn't procrastinate into more. I sigh and pushed him off me.

"Why are you doing this?" I murmured.

"Is my job." He said defeated. He scooted away from me until he was at the edge of the bed and looked away for a moment. Then he stares into my eyes and told me this story about how he was in love with a slave girl, and how he needed me to kill the vampire king. I glared at him feeling disgusted.

"Just kill the vampire king and leave me alone."

"He's too strong... I need to consummate my marriage with you."

"Meaning sex, and transforming me?"

"Yes?" Why was he making it into a question?

"You are disgusted by me," I said pointing the obvious.

"I am not disgusted by you, Zoey... I just hate you. There's a difference." I laughed I couldn' t help it. There's a difference?  Here he was saying he hates me and that amused me.

"You never had angry sex before?" I asked curiously.

"Yes." He said honestly.

"Then?" I started to ask.

"I... was a monster when I did it... As much as I hate you... You don't deserve that... just because you crossed my path doesn't mean-"

"If I fall for you like your plan. We have to have sex-"

"I plan to sleep with you once."

"What if you succeed and I fall for you? Eventually, I'll try to have sex with you before marriage, before turning."

"I" ll play the gentleman card." I stood up fast and kicked him in his face. He was not expecting that reaction out of me and fell to the floor hard on his back. I jump off the bed next to him and kick him hard in the stomach. I kicked him again and again. I went to kick him yet again, but he grabs my ankle and pulled making me fall to the floor hard on my back. I groaned at the impact and started breathing hard. Nathan gets on top of me fast and pinned my hands to the side looking down at me.

"I must admit Zoey," He murmured looking down at my angry eyes. "Just because I hate you doesn't mean I don't like you." He smiled a soft smile. And I glared at him in return. "If you are ok with killing your father, and leaving me in power-"

"My father is dead. You psycho!"

"Your real father. Come on Zoey, help me and I might let you live." He stared into my eyes and I pursed my lips.

"You want me to turn you into a vampire in that twisted plan of yours-"

"You'll love it. It is great." That was out of the question I could not roam this earth forever. I wanted to reunite again with my parents.

"NO. I'll just kill him for you." I offered. He chuckles at my offer almost as it spitting it on my face.

"Is not that easy. It has to be both of us using vampire strength."

"You're sick." I snap at him yet again.

"It has been almost two months now, and no matter how far I go with you." I stared at his face. He's the vampire! He's the one that has been erasing me! "It always ends like this," He continued. "Me telling you my plan and erasing your memory. Just gaining me a really hateful Zoey towards me the next morning."

"You'll never reach my heart," I told him honestly.  "This plan is so stupid, you are better off killing me and going about it another way-"

"Why don't you like me?" He said interrupting me. He was asking more out of curiosity than anything else.

"I can smell vampire, even if I don't know it yet," I told him honestly. "If you are disgusted by humans. What makes you think it won't be the same as me?"

"But you still half-vampire!"

"Yet you still hate me." I pointed out again.

"That's because of who your father is." He explained.

"My real father is dead," I said through gritted teeth.

"Not really." I was done talking to this asshole. I looked away and waited for the bite... Only he wasn't biting me... I don't know how long I stared at the wall but I grew tired and bored of it. The silence and this guy on top of me were eating at me. I turned my head slowly towards him. The look Nathan was giving me was a new one. It was as if he was staring at me for the first time.

"What?" 

"I never notice before." He murmured almost in a whispered. As if telling me a secret.

"What?" I repeated. My breathing picked up. I did not like this Nathan. He was disarming me. He was making me vulnerable again, and I hated it. I fucking hated it.

"How beautiful you are Zoey, You are just like a flower." He made a face of disgust. "Which is why I hate both the flower and you. The flower for once seems pointless to me, they take longer to grow, and once they are in full bloom... It only lasts a day... Then dies. Same as humans."

"But don't you see? There's where the true beauty lies. That's why flowers are so beautiful, because of their short life." He stared at me in one of those rare moments of awe. But I kept talking. "If their beauty would have been perpetual... it would not be beautiful, eventually it would become boring." He stared at me for a second then his mouth went into an O shape. I left him speechless.

"I'm so sorry." He murmured. Then he bit down on my neck hard sinking his teeth into my skin and clamping his mouth on my neck. I had a small feeling that he never did this before. I had a feeling that before he only put his saliva into my bloodstream without drinking my blood. Today... He started drinking my bloodletting his saliva mix into my blood naturally.

 A long moan escaped both of us at the same time. Nathan gulped from me until I lose consciousness...

A/N Things are going downhill from here lol. Is it me or Nathan apologize for bitting Zoey? The next chapter will be through Nathan's P.O.V you will see his thoughts and meet the girl who's he's doing all of this for.  Sorry for the long chapter. I try to keep it 2,000 words or less but I also have been trying to add more description to the stories.
