Y/N's POV

It has been a pretty normal day for me so far. I work at a simple little café here in New York City and I was on the night shift. We sometimes had musicians come in and preform but tonight we didn't and there weren't many people here.

I was off in 2 minutes and I was just finishing making the last coffee of my shift. I handed the coffee to the customer and took off my apron. I hung it up and grabbed my jacket before heading out the back door. I always took the trash out after my shift so I had to leave through the back door which led to an alleyway where the dumpster was. 

I threw the bag in the big dumpster and started walking out of the alleyway when I heard a growling noise behind me. I looked behind me and instantly regretted it. I saw a creature with long claws and sharp teeth. It was all slimy looking and it was probably the ugliest thing I had ever seen in my life. I turned back around and started running but it was no use at it caught up to me and threw me against a brick wall. I hit my head and everything started to get blurry. The creature came up to me again and it dug it's claws into my side. I screamed out in pain and I was ready to die, when the monster in front of me just disappeared. Before being able to see who had saved me, I blacked out.

Raphael's POV

I had just killed a demon that was attacking a mundane. I looked at the mundane and recognized her as a waitress that worked at the café next to us. She had offered to make me coffee when I followed Simon here a few times. 

She had passed out so I picked her up bridal style and took her to Magnus Bane's house. He surely will be able to heal her.

I arrive at Magnus' house and knock.

"Magnus. I need your help" I yell through the door. The door swings open and I see Magnus standing there with a cocktail in his hand.

"Oh Raphael, what have you done?" He asks me the he sees the girl in my arms.

"I didn't do this. She was attacked by a demon and I killed the demon. You need to heal her." I told him. He nods his head and gestures for me to enter his apartment.

"Lay her on the couch" He tells me. I put her down and look back towards what Magnus was doing. I see him rummaging through his different "ingredients" before he joins me beside the couch.

After Magnus tried numerous different potions and spells, he still wasn't able to heal the mundane. She was slowly dying on his couch. I could hear her heartbeat slowly fading away.

"Magnus, she is dying. You have to do something" I tell him, getting mad. I couldn't watch her die. She had always been so kind to me and she was also one of the most beautiful girls I had ever laid my eyes on.

"Raphael, I have tried everything I can. I can't do anything. I'm sorry." Magnus tells me. "The only thing that could save her now would be being turned" he says, looking at me sadly. I didn't want to turn her into a vampire. I would never wish this burden upon anyone, especially a beautiful café waitress who had no idea about any of the shadow world. "I know you don't want to Raphael, but if you don't turn her then she will die" Magnus says. I finally gave in. I didn't want her to die. I look up and draw the cross on my chest.

"Forgive me" I say before biting my wrist and placing it to her mouth.

Y/N's POV

I wake up and feel like I am being crushed. I open my eyes and realize that I am covered by a bunch of dirt. 

'I have been buried alive.' I think to myself. I started to climb up through the dirt before reaching my hand up as far as I can. I feel a breeze on my hand I keep climbing up to get out of the dirt. As soon as I get up I get a feeling in my stomach.

'I'm so hungry and thirsty' I think. 'But not for food or water. For blood' I think again. 

"What the hell?" I say out loud. All of a sudden two blood bags are dropped on the ground in front of me. I can't help myself and I grab the first one and tear it open, drinking every drop of blood that the bag contained. I grab the second one and do the same. After I drink both bags I look up to see who had thrown them on the ground for me and I see a gorgeous man. He has jet black hair and pale skin. He has a look of sympathy on his face, and I swear I knew him from somewhere.

"What is wrong with me?" I ask him.

"Umm, you were attacked and you were gonna die so I had to save you" He tells me.

"I remember being attacked. What the hell was that thing?" I ask again.

"That was a demon, and I'm a vampire. And now you are too" He says slowly

"I'm a what?!" I ask starting to freak out.

"I had to turn you into a vampire to save your life. I didn't want to turn you but it was the only way to save you. I'm sorry" He tells me.

"So you saved me?" I ask another question. He nods and looks down. "Oh, thanks I guess." I say. He looks up at me and gives me a confused look.

"You aren't upset?" He asks, still confused

"Well you saved my life. I'm not pumped about being a vampire but if this is the only way that I get to keep my life then I guess it's better than dying." I explain. "You look really familiar, do I know you?"

"Well, you have offered to make me coffee a few times at the café you work at when I followed Simon in." He tells me.

"Oh yeah. I remember that you never took up my offer. Now I know why. I'm guessing vampires don't drink coffee." I let out a small chuckle.

"Yeah. If I wasn't a vampire, I would have taken up your offer right away." He says.

"Good to know. I'm Y/N by the way" I tell him, introducing myself.

"Raphael" He tells me. After a few moments of silence I speak again.

"I can't go home, can I" I ask him. He sadly shakes his head, no.

"But you can come to my home with me." Raphael offers.

"What do you live in like a vampire den or something?" I chuckle again.

"Well my vampire clan lives in the Hotel Dumort but I have my own little apartment." He explains to me.

"Okay well then let's go" I smile.

Time Skip 

It had been about a month since I had become a vampire and at first it was really hard to get used to but Raphael helped me all the way through it. I guess he felt guilty about turning me but he did save my life. I was still having a little trouble controlling my urges of drinking people's blood but the rest of being a vampire I was getting used to. As Raphael continued to help me, I had developed feelings for the handsome vampire, but I knew that he didn't reciprocate those feelings, so I didn't say anything about my feelings to him.

I was walking around New York alone. It was around midnight so I didn't expect to see many people around so I doing okay. As I turn a corner I see a couple come through the door of a club or bar or something. They were attached at the lips and one of the guys pushed the other one against the wall of the building beside and continued to make out. I couldn't help but imagine that Raphael was pushing me up against a wall and kissing me passionately.

My "daydream" vanished as soon as one of the guys bit the other's lip and drew blood. My urges got the best of me and I attacked. I pushed one of the guys off and just as I was about to dig my fangs into this poor guy's neck, I was pulled off of him. I tried to fight it but it was no use, the person was stronger than me. In the blink of an eye I was in a different alleyway and I was cornered. I was about to attack whoever brought me here when I realized it was Raphael.

As soon as I made eye contact with him, I lost it and tears started to fall from my eyes.

"I'm so sorry Raphael. I tried to control my urges but I just couldn't. I can't believe I did that, I almost hurt that guy." I say through tears.

"Y/N, it's okay. It wasn't your fault. It just comes with being a vampire. You didn't hurt anyone." He tells me.

"The only reason that I didn't hurt him was because you stopped me" I whispered.

All of a sudden I felt a pair of lips on mine. I realize that it's Raphael and I instantly kiss back. The kiss is so passionate. It's everything that I have dreamed of. He pulls away and places his forehead against mine.

"All this time that I have been helping you control your urges I was trying to control my own urges of doing that. Y/N, we all slip up sometimes and give into our urges, some of our urges are just a little more dangerous than others." Raphael says softly. I smile and chuckle a little.

"Well I have had that same urge to kiss you ever since I first saw you in the café." I confess to him

"And you controlled that urge for an immense amount of time. You are one of the strongest, smartest, bravest, most beautiful people I have ever met in my life. And I have been alive for a pretty long time." He tells me. I laugh and kiss him again.

"I love you Raphael" I say against his lips.

"I love you too Y/N" He says.

Raphael picks me up, still connected to me by our lips, and vamp speeds me to his apartment. We spend the rest of the night together as well as the next day. I wouldn't give back becoming a vampire in a million years, because it came with finding the love of my life.

I hope you enjoyed it.
