Roo's POV

I saw Edith walk over with tears in her eyes. "Edith are you okay?"

"Huh? Y-yeah, I just need some air is all." I nod my head and she walks past me. I storm over to where what's-his-face is sitting. He's taking a drink of something.

"Hey you! Name? Now." He about chokes in his drink.

"What? Oh uh, Adam." I raise my eyebrows as an indication that he needs to say his last name too. "Fitzgerald. Adam Fitzgerald."

"Hello Adam. So nice to meet you. I'm Roo. How are you? Good?"

"I-"

"Good! Now enough formalities. What the hell just happened? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I just saw my best friend walk away from your table with tears in her eyes. While you're just sitting here being all smug because you're some sort of witchy voo-doo person about to throw his life away."

"It was a misunderstanding. She was talking to me about how things run around here and choice, and family, and-"

"Misunderstanding my ass! That girl out there...do you even know yet?"

"Know what?"

"That she's your-"

"Mate?" I hesitated.

"We call it match, but close enough. How did you...?" I trail off. I didn't actually expect him to know. I was just being a smartass.

"Guess it's part of me being a 'witchy voo-doo person'." He stands up to walk past me. I grab his arm and shove him back in the chair with as much extra strength I can muster...which isn't much...but it does the job.

"You're going to go out there and make her feel better. I would but it's not my turn. She doesn't need me right now. She needs you, and as little as she knows about you, she trusts you. And she doesn't trust easily. So don't kill it. Or I'll kill you." I sent in a serious, I'm not kidding, glare to pack a little more punch He gaped at me. I swung my body around and walked away. I may have been a little over the top but hey, I'm known to be a bit dramatic when it comes to my friends and family.

Adam's POV

I knew exactly why she ran out of the room when she saw me. I'm a witch. And witches are known for killing vampires. They effect the balance of things. Killing people weekly, or just draining them until they have no memory of the event and end up passing out.

I didn't mean to upset her. It's obvious she has a not-so-pretty past. I was forced into submission by the Zeyu. He threatened the lives of my clan but I didn't back. They offered to let them live if I joined. So I accepted it. I don't know why they want me, after the ritual I won't be able to use my magic or else there will be consequences. I actually never really thought I'd find my mate, and of all beings, she's a vampire. But I don't mind, so far she's been awesome. Through the around fifteen minute chat we had I learned so much. So many things she didn't say and I didn't mean to find out. I'm still trying to learn to control my reading abilities. I can read people just by the things they do or say. For example when she was talking about choice I caught the word memories in my mind. When we shook hands I heard three words. Mate. Different. Clueless. I could sense she was different as well. But different how? I don't think she knows either.
Sometimes it's hard to figure out what these readings mean. Some words have double meanings, for instance, when Roo grabbed my arm I caught the word danger. Does it mean that's she's the danger or that she's IN danger? You never know until it's almost too late.

I stand and walk towards the door. As I'm about to reach the front entrance I hear a faint scream from outside. I rush outside to find a guy holding a cloth over Edith's mouth and nose. She kicks eyes with me for a moment before passing out. He doesnt see me until I charge towards him. But before I get to play hero the guards come running. He drops her and runs. They catch him and drag him away some where. Luckily I'm able to get to her before she hits her head. Removing the cloth, I cradle her head in my arm and ever so gently run my hand slowly across her head. Her face is so peaceful when shes asleep. I feel like a creepy saying so even though we just met not even half an hour ago.

" Curaret, converterent venenum." I say quietly. A white glow lights where my hand was and then vanishes. Unsure of when she'll awake I pick her up bridal style and stand. I feel her start to panic in my arms and realize she's awake. "It's okay, it's okay, it's Adam. You're safe."

This was just a filler. So sorry it's been so long! *hides* I hate this one mainly because it's so short. And because I basically replayed the same scenes from different point of views. Ugh. I've been at writers block for the past few weeks!

So? Adam might be starting to feel the witch side of the mate....oops I mean match bond.

Edith is different somehow...how so? What do you think makes her different?

Roo is either the danger or in danger. She's also about to go back to the repair shop.

What's up with Mason? Why'd he suddenly go all serious and weird? How about Kaitlyn? Why is she so strong and fast? Why'd she betray Edith?

What do you think will happen in the story?

Gosh! So many things I want your opinions on! Any questions? Ask away!

Also I'd like to dedicate this chapter to irishjade12 for making ME a character in her story! Go and check out her book called: Twists, Turns, and Silver Burns.
