Alfred's POV. 

i sat on the park bench with only a small backpack next to me filled with only a few articles of clothing including my school, gym, and work uniform and my old wallet phone and its charger. thank god i leave my school supplies in my locker at school. 

why? you may be asking. well i'll tell you but you might not like the answer 

at age 18 i thought it would be a 'great' idea to come out to my religious, racist, homophobic, and otherwise bigoted parents hoping that they would understand and change. but noooooooo first row ticket to homelessness siiiiiiiiiiigh and they most certainly didn't just let me go without a few punches and kicks

i'm just thanking my lucky stars that i have an above minimum wage paying job, and due to my impeccable grades since day one in class a full scholarship including free room and board when school is over in a week and a half. 

i can use the showers in the school changing room before and or after school and i can buy lunch and my school has a breakfast program that i can use and i can just buy some food for dinner. i can survive a few weeks............i hope. 

i sigh again as i lie down on the hard bench preying that it wont rain tonight................they go unanswered...........poring torrential downpour complete with lightning and thunder and everything juuuuuuuust great.  well might as well try to sleep even if i am soaked. 

Arthur's POV

grumbling as i walked through the park in the rain i wanted to go home but i couldn't go back yet. i still needed to eat. i needed human blood. i haven eaten in so long. i'm so thirsty. 

but i doubt their will be anyo-.................thought too soon. 

it was Alfred F. Jones the schools resident nerd and punching bag of the jocks. 

Kind of skinny bit on the scrawny side but not too bad to the point of not enough blood to satisfy my thirst while risking his death. 

I slipped into the trees to watch him before i go on the attack. 

As I watch him he sighs and lie down on the bench pulling his backpack under his head and closing his eyes..... as I looked closer i noticed a few bruises on his face. 

I do believe that hes not going home tonight or anytime soon. absolutely perfect. I grinned and pulled up my black hood using a specially enchanted mirror allowing me to see my reflection to check my makeup 

Being an emo vampire has its perks 

No one bats an eye when your wearing all black or look abnormally pail or don't go out into the sunlight. no one bothers you because your a 'freak' heh if only they knew. 

Making sure my makeup is ok I walk forwards out of the tree like checking for any signs of other people out in the rain, zilch. 

I walk up to the resting teen soaked through to the bone ¨what are you doing out here?¨ I ask feigning concern startling him a little making him jump. 

¨Wh-wha-huh-oh.......What are you doing here?¨ he asked me 

¨I was out for a stroll when I got caught in the rain and I noticed you. so as i asked first and still answered your question what are YOU doing out here¨ I questioned probing for answers.

He sighed ¨long story short I got kicked out¨ he rolled his eyes.

¨if I may ask, for why?¨

¨ok wow you talk waaaaaay to proper but I got kicked out for coming out of the closet¨ I recognized that phrase I means to admit out loud to people they are gay...I could make this work to my advantage. 

I smiled sympathetically at him he seemed slightly shocked to see me smile. 

¨well.....I live alone in a house left to me by my late parents and I have a spare room you could use if you like¨ I made up a quick sob story to gain his trust and lower his unconscious defenses 

¨R-r-really?!?!! you'd help me? someone thats essentially a stranger......just like THAT?!?!???!!!!?¨ he exclaimed with a mixture of emotion, mostly shock and confusion but a little bit of hope.

¨why not help out a classmate in need¨ i cocked my head to the side and smirked playfully at him ¨besides it would HAVE to be better then seeping in the rain wouldn't it¨ he reluctantly agreed to follow me to my home  

i had purposely bought a small house when i came into this town not to long ago so as to not raise suspicion as to why a seemingly alone 18 year old could afford a mansion 

i miss my mansion in England 

i invited him in after unlocking the door with a gesture of my hand  

¨this place looks nice¨ he commented quietly 

¨i try not to change it too much from what my parents had it¨ 

a long silence followed as i gestured to hang his coat up ¨follow me¨ i said and walked of down the hall with him at my heals i led him to the guest room ¨you can stay in here, my room is right down the hall and the bathroom is the door right across from yours and if you return the way you came you'll be back to the living room which is connected to the kitchen/dining room¨ i watched him enter the room and look around he turned to me and smiled 

¨thank you so much, i'll pay you back and ill pay rent for the time i'm here¨ 

¨you don't have to do that i got enough inheritance to survive and i'm just trying to be nice no need to pay me back¨ i smiled at him ¨besides i already have an OK paying job and once i graduate an even better higher paying job lined up so i don't need your money, stay as long as you need¨ 

¨id still feel back mooching off of you it would make me feel better to know that i'm at least contributing¨ 

so he was one of those people we i can think of something to make him happy ¨well if that how you fee lets come up with a compromise you will only be staying here anything you want or need is going to be your responsibility including food¨ i offered up to him and he seemed to ponder it for a moment then he smiled again 

¨deal¨ 

¨good well its late we should get to bed after all we do have school tomorrow¨

he nodded and i turned and left closing the door behind me leaving him to settle in he never saw the evil smirk that i made as soon as the door was closed
