seriously why does Nate not have a girlfriend? He's like fucking great.

"Who the hell are you?" I ask frantically.

"I'm Silas, and I need your help."

"I don't want to help you!" I shriek, trying to get away from this psychopaths grasp.

"I'm not trying to hurt you, I just need you to hide me for a day." Silas replies hastily.

"Why?" I ask shakily.

"I'm running from some people, okay? It's difficult to explain."

"O-Okay. I can take you to my house. Just please don't kill me, or steal anything." I say.

Why was I letting this attractive man stay at my place? Wait-- attractive? Seriously Y/N? Why is he dressed like he just got back from a Hercules reenactment?

--

Two hours later, I've endured just about every form of question a human, or vampire could ask. Silas wants to know all about the modern world. All its perks and downfalls. He wants to know every last detail. He claims he's been in a deep sleep for two thousand years. Which is a bunch of Bologna to me, along with the vampire crap. He's compelled me to remain calm, which is reassuring but terrifying at the same time. He can make me do whatever his heart desires.

(for all the uneducated folks out there, or the little eleven-twelve year olds. it's baloney. but Bologna is the correct spelling.)

"This seems too weird to be true." I stutter nervously.

"Sometimes, I wish it never was." Silas sighs.

"You don't seem evil to me, at all." I compliment him.

"I never was. I created immorality because of pure greed." He explains.

"Well, I don't know much of what happened before the 1300s. I'm sorry. Humans haven't always kept records of what has happened over the centuries." I sigh.

"It's okay. You've taught me more things in one day than anyone ever has in my entire lifetime. I thank you deeply for that." Silas replies.

"You're welcome. It's nice to have someone to talk to. I work all the time, to make a life for myself, so I don't always get the guy. Not that you're interested in a relationship or anything. Your precious girlfriend, God rest her soul." I say quickly, trying to cover up my slight mistake.

"Y/N. You make me feel things I've never felt with Amara or Qetsiyah. They aren't apart of my life anymore." Silas says, grabbing my hands.

"Another thing you should know about the modern times, Silas. You can't diss your exes and use another girl as a rebound. You love Amara, or Qetsiyah. I don't know which one, but it isn't me." I tell him apologetically.

"It is you. My feelings towards you are completely vulnerable. I do not understand them." He responds.

"Maybe you should cut ties with your first girlfriends then." I suggest.

"Amara is dead, and waiting for me. At least I think. I've got to search for her. Qetsiyah just wants me dead."

"How unfortunate. I'm horribly sorry." I say.

"What is that thing you mentioned an hour ago? About two people falling in love? Something related to that." Silas says.

"Sex? Marriage? Dating?--"

"Dating. Yes, dating. Do you want to go for a dating?" Silas asks excitedly.

"I think you mean date. And yes, I'd love to. However, I think it's best our first date remain between us. Since everyone out there is either trying to kidnap you, or kill you. I'd prefer not to get involved in that mess."

"I don't blame you. Though I'd never let anything happen to you. I am the strongest being alive at the moment." He laughs.

"That's scary."

"Just like my feelings for you."
