I opened my eyes and when I did I was surprised to find that I was in a room that was not mine. It wasn't a hospital room either. It seemed like a spare room of some sort. I sat up in bed. The tv was on and playing some show I'd never heard of at the foot of the bed. Where am I? I thought to myself. I looked down at my chest. There was a long puffy scar that started where my chest plate started and stopped at my waist. I ran my finger tips over it. It felt cold and jagged under my finger tips. There was a soft knocking at the door. "Come in?," I said more as a question that a statement. It was the man that had brushed the hair out of my face from before. He quietly walked in, shutting the door softly behind him. He stopped dead in his tracks and his face turned beat red. "I'm so sorry I forgot that you were...," he trailed off, handing me a robe and turning his back to me. I slid it on and tied it around me. The fabric was soft and warm. "Who are you?," I asked. He turned around. When he did I'd realised that this man was gorgeous. His eyes were dark brown almost black. He had shaggy brown hair that hung in his face. His facial features were sharp and muscular. The urge to kiss him was so strong that I crossed my arms over my chest and balled my fist up. "My name is Alec," he said in a smooth voice. It got quiet. His eyes dropped to the floor. "I found you," he said," it appeared you'd jumped from the balcony." "I was intending in taking my life," I said, my words flat and cold. " Why?," he asked. "It's complicated," I told him. "What I'm about to tell you may seem crazy but...," he said pausing. He seemed nervous like he was afraid to tell me what he was thinking. "Here goes nothing," he said, taking a deep breath while running his fingers through his hair. "I changed you, completely. It will take you a while to adjust but I had to do it in order to save your life." I just stared at me. I could tell that he was telling the truth, no matter how ridiculous it seemed. "What have you turned me into?," he asked. He gently grabbed my hand and led me to a full body mirror in the corner of the room. I wasn't me, at all. My skin was as white as snow and my hair was thicker and smooth and longer. My eyes had a red tint to them. My features were more cat like. He stood behind me, placing his hands on my shoulders. An electricity ran through me making me shiver in delight. "You're a vampire," he said.
