I agreed with Yasmine, so I decided to go toward the river bank within the forest. Hopping from tree to tree with speed I successfully made it to the bank. I land on the ground with Yasmine in my arms staring impressively at me.

"Show off." she said while rolling her eyes.

"Well, what can I say... I live to impress" I said in a joking tone. Yasmine got down from my arms and walked towards the edge of the flowing river. As I gazed at her in the moonlights ray I saw nothing but beauty and grace. I froze insight as she turned around and stared at me and for the first time I saw her blush with embarrassment.

"So, you saw me and didn't run away...especially since you're a vampire I thought you would run and probably never talk to me again, considering our long notorious history." she said while looking at the ladybug in the grass. I smirked at the thought of me running, this was laughter I couldn't contain anymore. "Ha ha ha!".

"What so funny?" she yelled.

"Because, you're not scary at all Yaz, you're still the same girl I meet just a couple of hours ago. Besides that whole supernatural drama, you said it doesn't apply to me or my family. Let's just say I'm a little different from the rest." I answered.

"How different?" she asked. I walked near her and sat beside her by the stream. "I'm a hybrid."

"What?!... Are you serious, but you don't look it at all"

"Well... never judge a book by its cover." I said while smirking. We both smiled for a while until they faded away, with both of us knowing we had a long story to tell.

"So, pretty boy tell me how you came to be" Yaz said softly and kindly.

"It's a long story." I answered while staring at the stream. The stream was beautiful than ever and I knew that at the end of this stream was the big and beautiful Lake Michigan. Even though it was a two-hour drive, it was still worth it: A big beautiful lake with beaches as clean as a new car, boats everywhere, and last when nightfall came the beaches glow with an amazing view that would blow your mind.

"Hello" I heard someone say, finally coming out of my daze and remembering that Yaz was still here right beside me.

"Sorry, I drifted off. So, my story of how I came to be, right?"

"Yeah... You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine" she stated.

"Ok then...well this is how my story began, that was 117 years in the making."

......

"My Dad the so-called legend Dracula; the son of the first Dracula (Vlad) Tepes, had finally been able to find peace in this world by hiding in the shadows and blending in with normal human life in Romania, Transylvania. As he lived out his normal days it wasn't until 1897 where he met his one true love, my mother Hannah. Hannah was a beautiful woman about 5ft 6in tall which was perfect for my Dad who was 6ft tall. She had blue eyes and orange hair and she loved to wear dresses even in the coldest of days. They fell in love one night in the town square when he had saved her from a weak falling tree. You can kind of call it love at first sight. After that, they spent every night together hanging out and going on dates. It wasn't until she got curious about why she only see him at night and never ate one single thing around her. So, one morning she decided to go visit his house only to be stopped by evil-gang ridden men. She was held captive in a forest cave until they got what they all wanted which was her body. Hannah put up a fight: screaming, kicking, and yelling with all her might. Until a miracle happened that night, before they could even lay a hand on her my Dad came in and took down each guy with one heavy slap (literally). Not knowing he had given his secret away. His eyes glowed a monstrous red with hungry for blood. She looked at him with shock."

"You're a vampire...but how and why?" she questioned.

"I'm the son of Dracula, that's how...... I can understand if you never want to see me again."

"Wait!!!" she reached for his hand, stopping him "I don't want you to leave... I just want to know why you hid this secret from me?"

"Because I didn't want to lose you Hannah I care too much about you, ever since the day we met...I couldn't possibly lose you if I told you my true identity."

"Drac (she touched his face) I feel the same way about you. I want you to trust me, so you won't have to feel alone anymore with your thoughts, you can finally have someone to talk to until the end of time."

"I love you Hannah." Drac said passionately.

"They kissed that night forever bonding their soul with love. Then one year later in late September, I was born. The first-ever hybrid human to be born in the supernatural world. We lived a happy life together for almost 99 years, until -in 1996- old age took our loving wife and mother away. At the age of 120, the highest age any human has ever lived thanks to my Dad. He loved her so much that he gave her a magic potion that would give her perfect health but still age the body. But she grew tired -I mean who wouldn't- and she wanted my father to move on and find someone new. So, she asked him to remove the potion of magic from her, it took some hardship, but he did it. Next thing I knew she was gone forever and my Dad just couldn't accept that. He went out on a killing spree; killing everyone in his sight out of anger and jealously of love and happiness. Until one night- after almost 17 years-he finally got caught red-handed." I said.

"SON, WE MUST LEAVE TRANSYLVANIA NOW!!!" Dad said panicked. I got up from the couch observing him closely noticing blood all over him.

"Why?" I questioned.

"Don't ask questions, just start packing!" I read his mind; feeling shocked as ever.

"You didn't Dad... please tell me you didn't get caught this time. You know what will happen if you get caught doing you're killing deeds. HE will come and we'll be-".

Before I could finish my sentence, a knock came at the door. We stood there just staring each other down not knowing what to do until the door slammed opened and there stood the Vampire King."

......

"Then he told us to leave Romania and come to the U.S., so my Dad could get the help he needs." I explained to Yaz.

"So, that's how you ended up here...your story is so full of history and heart...but I don't understand why your father didn't just turn your Mom into a vampire?" questioned Yaz.

"Because of the King... when he found out my Dad broke the rules by dating a human and even marrying one too, he made my Dad promise not to ever turn her or else he would kill her." I looked at the stream depressed a little about my Mom's death and how it's been nineteen years since she passed away. Then suddenly a light peck came onto my cheek and a light pressure came onto my hand, I looked up to see Yaz holding my hand in the grass. I smiled.

"Okay...Now it's my turn to hear your story and to learn why you're dressed like Lara Croft." I smiled while I questioned her looks. She blushed while punching me hard in the arm.

"First off I'm only dressed like this because if I don't wear this outfit I transform back into my human form naked. Second, my story begins about 5 years ago, when I was twelve years old." I laid on the grass as she told her story.

......

"I was only twelve when my werewolf transformation took place and what was most horrible about it was that it had to happen while I was in school. This bully named Kevin was picking on my best friend Cole. So, I tried to protect him and help him, but it was hard when you were a short and frail girl, but I tried the best way I could to help. I stood in front of Cole trying to protect him, but Kevin pushed me out the way onto the ground. Next thing I knew Cole was being kicked while he was down (literally). I got so mad...that I transformed without knowing it and bit, clawed, and torn him to pieces. Everyone screamed in horror and Cole runaway too and next thing I knew I blackout, thanks to a tranq dart".

"When I awoke I was home with my parents comforting me. Then when I could stand and was feeling better they told me everything: about who they were, our heritage, and even about our ruler Prince S. Wolf. My parents told me that once I graduate from middle school that I would be moving in with my grandma, to help better my powers before I hit immortally at the age of sixteen. So, since all of this was an order by Prince, I had to obey or else I and my family would be in severe trouble."

......

"And that's how I got here...in this beautiful state of Michigan. My parents have no play in my life anymore. Once immortally hit my grandma went on a trip and never came back, which is why I got a part-time job and started supporting myself." she said while rolling her eyes.

"Wow.... well hey at least we have one thing in common...well maybe two or three." I stated.

"What's that?"

"We both are immortal and are here because of orders by the higher-ups and we probably never seen them either thanks to their special cloaks they always wear.". That's right, living all these years I never saw the Vampire King at all not even when he came to our home in Romania and told us to leave, he was covered by a layer of smoke, my Dad had seen him once, but that was 117 years ago when I was still a baby. I reached for her waist as I wrapped her in my arms.

"I guess you're right, WAIT...I just realized something very important". She turned to face me.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm dating an old man.... that's what a slimy, combat wearing old man." She laughed as I gave a firm look until I gave her the worst head rub ever.

"So an old man...huh."

It was around midnight when we parted ways making plans to meet at the Forest District Park around noon tomorrow. For the first time in history, I finally had a girl-friend who could understand me and the problems we both face and the best part was she was sticking around for a long time.
