"Camilla Clemont was found dead in her apartment this morning, the cause of death was suicide."

So, Camilla, even in death you're still bothering me, but this is good news, a suicide is better than murder.

I think it was about time I rewarded Lenard with a pay raise, or perhaps a holiday, or perhaps I shall give him both.

"Very tragic, she was an extraordinary young woman." I said, with a frown.

"We apologize for coming here like this, we had no idea a fundraiser was taking place right now, but the family would like to put this case to rest now rather than later." One officer said, a guilty look on his face.

"We hope you don't mind if we ask you a few questions?"

Questions is exactly what I do mine, but if I used an excuse now or perhaps glamour them into leaving, they'd only just come back.

"Of-course, anything I can do to help the family get through this difficult time."

The officer speaking clears his throat before nodding. "From what we've been told by the family is that she was er... quite infatuated with you, to the point one man might find a bit annoying, lots of calls etc."

Infatuated isn't taking the case far enough, the dreaded woman had much more going on inside that head of hers, right up until the end.

"Yes." I sigh. "She told me how she felt about a month ago, to which I gently let her down, I thought the matter was done but she was relentless."

"Relentless how?" He asked.

Well, she broke into my house, stole my things, not to mention she was trying to blackmail me with my deepest darkest secret, which she found out by stalking around my home in the late of night.

"I'm sure her family told you that she wasn't well? I don't wish to speak ill of the dead officer."

He nodded his head and grunted. "Yes, well, we'd just like to make sure, we heard the gist of it, it even turned our heads..." He laughed.

"She thought you were a vampire and were trying to eat her! " The other officer said, as they both laugh.

Camilla oh Camilla... I had just simply wanted to kill you, nothing else, and I did just that, I would not have eaten her if she had begged me right at the end, she tried to threaten me into a corner, which was the case of her downfall.

Her blood disgusted me right up until the end.

"I felt sorry for her, so I didn't report her, but I told her father what she was doing and as far as I was concerned, that was the end of it."

"She was in love with me, and she was clearly having a mental break down." I say, shaking my head.

"I never thought she'd do something as reckless as kill herself, if I had known she was this sick, I could've done more to help her."

They begin writing down something in their notebook before then close it shut and put it in their pocket. "Well, thank you for your time."

"If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me directly." I said, smiling as I shook both of their hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Grant, looks like we got everything we came for, and again, I'm sorry for this, we hope you have a good night."

With that, I led them outside the empty room we were in and back into the hallway as the charity was going on in the large room down the hall.

To my surprise, as the officers left a woman was leaning against a wall on her phone, and that woman was none other than Eloise Anderby.

She had not yet noticed me, so I sneaked up behind her and looked at what she was so focused on looking at on her phone.

'Rowan Grant, Wikipedia' she was currently reading the section of 'personal life'.

Well... I had certainly done worse than this, still, how amusing she is, she was stalking me online, again, and in front of me, let's have some fun with her, after all, I had caught her in the act.

"The bit about me liking my privacy is true, although I don't own nor ride horses in my spare time." I spoke out, making her jump, her phone almost falling out of her hands until I caught it.

"Fuck!" She swore out, making me smile.

I hand her phone back to her. "Apologies, I didn't mean to scare you."

She blushed, shut her phone off and put it in her bag, embarrassed that I had caught her red handed.

"You didn't, you are just... You surprised me." She cringed out, unable to look me in the eye. "I didn't even hear you." She laughed out quietly, putting her fingers behind her ear with a strand of loose hair.

"You waited for me?" I asked, looking around, seeing that she was alone out here.

She swallowed hard and nodded her head before shyly looking at me. "Yeah... sorry, I don't know why, I just..."

"Got lonely without me?" I teased, but she remained silent, her eyes moving from mine.

She was making it hard for me not to fuck her right here and now, acting all innocent when a feeling I have is telling me that she is anything but, perhaps she's doing this on purpose to get a response out of me.

"Um is everything okay?" She hinted towards the police car, that was currently driving away.

"Ah." I hum out. "Not quite, I'm afraid." I said, making her face drop.

I quite liked teasing her, her facial expressions amused me, she was quite expressive and reactive to situations more than most, it was fun to see.

Since turning vampire, I have lost all humanity within me and with that being said, it was harder for me to remain human in front of human, especially with my facial expressions.

After so long I had tried harder to blend in, but I still struggle to adapt sometimes, not that anyone would notice, I'm very good at hiding it.

"A woman I knew had committed suicide this morning, the officers wanted to ask a few questions, nothing to worry about." I say, easing her mind.

"That's awful, I'm so sorry for your loss." Her eyes widened as her face dropped, she looked sad despite not even knowing her.

Eloise... she really was too kind for her own good.

I look down the hall where I can hear pieces of art being bid on, and although I wanted to go back inside the room with her to save face and quiet some rumours that have not doubly been spoken since my absence, yet- I couldn't bring myself to move.

"Do you want to get out of here?"

Her eyes went to mine and a beautiful pink tint of blush blessed her cheeks as she looked down the hall, then back to me.

She had responsibilities here, there were a thousand reasons to not leave with me, but I wanted nothing more than for her to abandon this place and go with me.

"Sure." She said to my surprise. "Why not." She grinned, surprised by her own answer as she threw her hands up.

"It looks like tonight was super successful thanks to you and your friends' donations, the girls can handle the rest without me, so..."

This was an interesting turn of events, even so, I was... Happy.

I leaned down and captured her lips with mine, I could not hold it in any longer as I pressed my body against hers, feeling every curve of her body against mine as she kissed me back and opened her mouth for me to enter.

She smelled delightful, her lips felt soft and warm, her hands on my chest made my skin feel like it was on fire, everything about it was addictive, and I wanted more.

Her tongue against mine had me sat on the edge of ecstasy, but I knew that this much wasn't enough to satisfy me, nor her, we both wanted the same thing, and we weren't going to get what we wanted in this hallway.

I needed more, and I needed it now.

I pulled back from her and took her hand intertwined with mine, she was giggling as I led her down the hall to the exit, where a car was waiting for me.

There was no more denying what I was feeling, this strange sensation of wanting to hold her, be inside of her, never leave her, it was taking hold of me.

I never wanted that feeling to let me go, not when she made me feel so alive.
