Prologue

He finally said " I love you"

As I looked into his eyes

and saw his longing stare

i stopped myself from saying words

that would show how much i care

i put my hand up to his face

to hold my feelings in

i wouldn't say those words again

to show my love for him

the last time i had told him

how much he meant to me

he put my hands away from his

and told me to leave him be

i never spoke those words again
for fear of his deep fright

i thought it was the last time

untill that blissfull night

his fingers traced around my face

pushing hair away

and i was quite unprepared for what he had to say

my heart beat quickly, my head raced on

i thought that i might cry

he looked as if he might faint

imagine this strong guy

but i would never be more impressed

with anything he'd do

than when he took that heartfelt leap

and told me " I love You"

Mary Ann meets Damien ( Third person)

Damien Lowe walked to school, his head down, hood up. His I-Pod blasted music into his ears, and he closed his eyes, oblivious to the rest of the world. With his vampire senses he could tell where he was going, even with his eyes closed. He sullenly opened his eyes as he sensed his arrival at the school. He sighed and walked to his homeroom. As he sat down in his seat he heard snickers behind him. “Have a fun weekend Emo?” Nick, the guy who loved to make his life hell jeered behind him. Damien ignored him and cranked up the music on his I-Pod, resisting the urge to bare his fangs at the weak little human. He felt a yank on his hood and he hissed spinning around in a split-second and grabbed the human’s wrist, twisting it. Nick was staring at him with wide eyes and Damien made sure his lips stayed firmly over his teeth as he growled, “Don’t touch me again. Or Lord have mercy on you I will kick your butt.” Nick nodded and Damien slowly released his death grip on the human’s wrist. He smirked as he saw Nick’s wrist already turning blue. Damien hoped he had broken it. He turned back around to face the teacher just to see a new, beautiful, girl walk in the classroom. Damien was in a trance. From over here he could smell the faintest hint of her flowery perfume. He inhaled, smelling her intoxicating scent.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts. A girl like her wouldn’t want a monster like him. No girl on the planet wanted him, and that was just fine. He didn’t want any girl either. He was incapable of loving, or being loved. The teacher, Mr. Thomas introduced the girl. “Hi, my name is Mary Ann. I just moved here from Texas.” She said softly with a slight southern drawl. Well that was a big leap. Texas to California. Damien averted his eyes as she took the only available seat, next to his. He sighed. This was going to be a long day.


Damien p.o.v. **********************************

I was walking towards his second block class when i heard a lovely, soft voice with a southern drawl i reconized all too well. " Hi, my name is Mary Ann.. whats yours?" after getting over the shock i reply in a gruff voice, " Damien." she smiled and i could see her eyes light up. " Damien.i like that name." for once i felt myself smile, but it dissapeared as soon as it appeared. she frowned slightly. " I'm 14 how about you?" she asked softly. using an annoyed tone i answered, "same" she took the hint that i didnt want to have a conversation and she looked hurt and walked away. good.

Monster ( Damien p.o.v.)

I searched through the woods, looking for my next meal. i growled low in my throat. i saw a girl about 35 walking along the street. she was ill. i should end her suffering for her. i reached out and grabbed her by the hair,pulling her deep in the woods. she screamed and fought, but she was no match for me. i pushed her into my cave then felt an attack of counciousness. i whispered, " im sorry" then bit her in the neck.she screamed. but there was no one to hear her.

***************
Mary Ann p.o.v.

I was walking down the street thinking of damien and his mean behavior, and i saw a blur of movement and a lady dissapeared off the street. towards the woods. i almost screamed but instead i stiffled it and followed the direcetion slowly. i covered my mouth as i saw damien dragging the girl by her hair. i followed behind them and watched as he bit the girl, killed her, and buried her in the cave. i felt tears streaming down my face.
then he turned around and spotted me. i yelped and started running. he quickly caught up to me latching his teeth onto my neck. i yelped as he dragged me into his cave. i thought he would kill me. then he let go , healing the bite. i gasped pulling myself to the opposite side of the cave. his eyes will full of pain. then he started crying.
i sat there untill he looked at me, his eyes red from crying. he whispered," so i take it you know what i am?" i nodded and he cursed under his breath. " you cant tell anyone. i dont want to, but if you tell i'll have to kill you." i gasped softly and nodded in understanding. " well..." i said. "awkward slience."

Stupid Bullies ( Damien p.o.v.)

I walked into homeroom, and without thinking i smiled at Mary Ann. she seemed caught off gaurd but smiled back, her face glowing with happiness. i cursed myself silently. the teacher called role and when she called my name, before i had the chance to say " here...sadly" like i usually do, Nick yelled from behind me, " hes not here! hes too busy crying to mommy how i hurt his feelings!" and yanked on my student ID. " Ain't that right ' Mr. Tough guy' " he yanked harder and it was tightening on my neck. the teacher heard his outburst, pretended not to notice, and kept calling role. no one else realized he was trying to choke me. excet Mary Ann.i gagged. her eyes widened and my fangs came, she saw them and nodded. i turned around at the speed of light,and shooved him on the wall. he screamed, as i kneed him in the crotch, and punched his jaw. i felt the satisfying crunch of bone under my knuckles. before i knew what happened i was dargged into the principal's office and was telling me i was getting expelled.i laughed in his face. all the sudden Mary Ann rushed in and exclaimed " sir i need to talk to you. please. let me explain. it wasnt his fault." the principle sighed and sat down. " this should be interesting to hear." Mary Ann sat down next to me and explained the whole thing, him choking me, the self defense. he finally sighed and said " All right Mr. Jaccobs your free to go. Thank you Mary Ann, You may stay. Good-Bye Mr Jacobs. with one last glance at Mary Ann i stormed out.

Hero ( Mary Ann p.o.v.)

Damien walked out, leaving me alone with the principal, Mr. Dupuy ( pronounced Du-pwee). he walked over to me, looking me up and down. he was a handsome guy, in his mid twenties, a shaved beard, six feet tall. he trailed his fingers down my arm and i frowned, unsure of what he was doing. " what are you doing haning out with Damien Jacobs?

" he said Damien Jacobs

as one would say Manure

. I shrugged. " he was nice to me, the first person to." his hand went down and layed on my thigh, and i shifted back uncormfortably. " I don't want you talking to him anymore." his hand lightly gripped my thigh and i pushed his hand off, fear tickling my mind. " You can't control me" i said boldy. His face was suddenly next to mine and he whispered, " I Can't can I?" i wimpered as he pressed his lips on mine. " No" I whispered as he slid his other hand down my lower back, landing on my behind, pressing me onto the chair. Fear overwhelmed me.


***Damien p.o.v.*****


I had just explained everything to the teacher and sat back down when i felt a rush of fear. Mary Ann's.
I bolted out my chair, murmering a " Bathroom" to the teacher, running to the principal's office. i slammed the office door open. Time stopped. It was as if someone had paused the telivision. Mr. Dupuy was all over her. His hand was on her butt, his lips on hers, from here I could here her wimpering and prtoest. Time continues, someone clicking the play button. i shoved him off, flipping my phone open. I dialed 911. " You nasty Pervert." i kept Mary Ann behind me as i waited for the cops to show up. when they did, they arrested him and told us to take the day off, and go home. we walked out of school, and Mary Ann stopped me outside the door, threw her arms around my neck and hugged me, pressing her body against mine. " My Hero" she whispered.

He loves me, He loves me not. She loves me, She loves me not

***Damien's pov***

I was shocked, and just stood stiff for a moment. i awkwardly reached my arms around her waist and slowly pressed her against me,hugging her back. she nestled her face into my neck, and i drew in a quick breath, blocking the scent of her blood. she stood up on her tippytoes, and pressed her lips against mine. i made a move to push her off, nut she held onto me.before i realised what i was doing i kissed her back.she leaned her weight against the wall and i leaned into her, trapping her inbetween my body and the wall.her chest was pressed against mine. i slowly felt my self control fading. my hands gripped her waist tightly, to the point to where it must have been hurting, but she didnt show it, just kept kissing me.i grinded myself against her, her back rubbing against the wall.i ran my other hand through her hair, lost in her scent. My fangs flashed out.

I imeadiatly pushed her harder against the wall, shoving my body away from hers. i staggered backwards. Her hair was rustled, her lips red and slightly puffy. i took a step toward her, and pulled her shirt up slightly to see her waist where i had gripped so tightly.it was already turning black and blue, bruises in the shapes of finger prints apearing. the pure disgust in what i had done sent my fangs shooting back into my mouth. i was shocked at what i had done. my beautiful sweet Mary Ann. i HURT HER! she was still pressed against the wall, kind of dazed. she walked forwards toward me, and i held my hand up to keep her back. "I'm sorry" I said in a gruff voice. " dont be" she said softly. " don't be?! god, you wanted me to do that?! trsut me, no you didnt. no one likes me. no one loves me. i dont like anyone. i dont love anyone. and thats just how i like it. " i growled as i walked away, ignoring the tears pricking the edge of her eyes. whatever.

When i die, you decide to admit you love me, Mr tough guy(Mary Ann pov)

As he stalked away, angry tears fell down my cheeks. God i hated him, but loved him all at the same time. i hated him because i loved him. God, he didn't even like me. i needed to stop obsessing over him. i walked slowly home, alone. as i hit the woods near my house, i saw a rustle of movement. Fear striked through me, and suddenly an arm was wrapped around my face with a hand covering my mouth. I struggled and tried to scream as i felt myself being dragged into the woods.
the mystery stranger, once inside the woods, shoved me on the muddy ground. he grabbed a fistfull of my hair and i cried out as he yanked my head back.he braed my neck, and sank his teeth deep into my jungular in my neck. i screamed loudly, feeling the greedy pulls on my neck.he had no mercy, wouldnt stop, as i screamed my protest.eventually, my 'nos' and begging grew fainter "damien" i whispered.


****Damien Pov*********


I raced to the woods, where i felt Mary Ann was. i shoved the guy that was drinking her blood off her, and snapped his neck.then i turned my attention back to my Mary Ann. she was dealthly pale, n her neck wasnt even bleeding anymore. " Mary Ann! please don't go!" tears raced down my cheeks. " i could change you! i need to save you please dont leave me!" "damien..I love you" she whispered. then the light left her eyes. "I love you Mary Ann" i said, even though i knew my little angel couldn't hear me.

Dead and an Angel (Mary Ann pov)

I love you Mary Ann...

those were the words that made my soul smile, and give a look of longing to Damien. He loves me, he loves me!

but..its too late..
********************************

I was peaceful, floating. everything was white, happy. then i thought of who and what i was leaving behind, tears sprang to my eyes. "Child, do not cry" A gentle but firm voice came out of no where. I looked up to see a beautiful woman walking towards me, wearing white robes. her face was flawless, perfect. "W-who are you? W-where am i?" i stuttered. " Hush Child and i shall tell you. the woman took a seat next to me. " You are in Heaven, where you go, life after death. such a shame you died so early, so young and innocent." "wait so god is a girl??" she chuckled."yes. and I understand how you died honey." the woman shook her head." a vampire. there all such foul creatures!" i blurted " you don't know them! there not all that way!" she sighed. "whatever you wish to believe child. but i have an offer for you, so you can go back to your loved one" "What?" i asked excitedly. " you may return to Earth as an angel.i looked at your life, you were a kind and sweet person. but there is a consaquence.you will be an angel, bitter and angry. u must learn how to control that before you can be yourself again.you must also heal your loved one, and defend the innocent." "Anything to go back to Damien" I imeadiatly agreed. " You have to go through a training process, for six months, to learn your powers, and to learn how to defend the wicked and evil part of you that will slowly try to take you over." and with that, i appeared into a new room, my guess is the training place.

Six Months Later (Mary Ann pov)

I concentrated really hard, and before i knew it. i appeared outside of my old school, and took a deep breath.asfter two months, i was finally going to be able to see Damien, my love.
My excited face turned concerned when i saw Damien walking this way. he looked like hell. and from training experience, i knew what that looked like. His face was dark, and full of hatred. a look that only got stronger as he looked at me.

Back? (Mary Ann pov)

I was confused. why would he look at me with such hate? he had said he loved me as i died in his arms. Suddenly i was under him as he growled "Imposter" my body flowed with relief.oh! he thought i was an imposter. "Damein its me Mary Ann" "no Mary Ann is dead.because of me." his look softened before hardening again."prove it" i whispered. " I met god, er well Godess, her name is Annabelle. she sent me back to you,to be with you. and to prove it,remember the day you rescued me from Mr.Dupuy? i said you were my hero. i Love you Damien"
