Chapter one - First Impressions

'My footsteps hardly making a sound as my pace quickened. Something – no – someone was following me. Behind me was the sound of leaves crunching under the feet of my intruder. I froze then spun around with such force I almost lost my balance but there was not a soul to be seen. The night had seemed so peaceful at first with its bright moon and gentle breeze. Now, it just seemed eerily cold and frightening. I felt that strange feeling again as if someone was behind me. My whole body went rigid. I began turning my head, almost to scared to look. As I slowly turned the wind picked up tendrils of my red hair slowly blowing it over my shoulder. I wanted to stop myself because I knew what was coming but I knew I couldn't prevent it.

As I saw the man standing there my heart seemed to stop

"Boo" was the only thing I heard from the dark silhouette. My pursuers face plagued in shadows so I could never know who he was. His eyes seemed to reflect the light making them metallic silver just before he leapt'

In an apartment just two blocks away, I, Gabrielle DeAngelis snapped awake. I heard a scream in the distance and knew my time had come.

'Tonight will be the night' I thought my heart beating painfully with fear and excitement, sweat beaded my brow and it wasn't just from the heat. It was the after math of the dream

Every night for the past two week's I had these recurring dreams. Always it was in Central park and always it was from the victims point of view. Two days after my first dream the news reports started. "Attack at Central Park" the headlines read and the most resent, due to a leak of information from the Police department "The Vampire of Central Park" because of the unusual style of the attacks. The victims where being left drained of blood through two pieced holes in the victims neck. Yet they were always left alive, the 'vampire' didn't seem to take the last drop, never killing a victim. I have never believed in vampires but since the dreams and the facts my belief was starting to grow like many others. I was sleeping in my underwear and quickly pulled on a pair of track pants and a t-shirt.

Tonight would be the night I confronted the intruder of my dreams.

It took hardly 10 minutes to jog to Central Park a can of mace clutched tightly in my fist. It wasn't long before I heard the noise I was looking for, a muffled scream. I broke threw the trees and came face to face with a horrific scene. The red head in the dream was bent backwards, supported by the 'vampire'. His mouth firmly placed on the girl's neck his dark hair falling silkily over his face. Her eyes where wide and staring at me the spark of life was already disappearing. I knew I was to late.

The Vampire looked up, smelling my scent. He stared at me a moment his mouth drenched in blood a surprised look in his metallic eyes. Suddenly after having to suffer these dreams every night for the past 14 days to see it before me didn't scare me, it intrigued me I am ashamed to admit.

"Boo" I don't know what caused me to say that one little word but non the less it tumbled from my lips.

"Boo back" the vampire said his eyes wide.

"Let her go" I was glad to say my voice came out calm, even though my heart was beating a thousand miles an hour. He looked down at his victim having forgotten the young girl in his arms. He dropped her to the ground and my heart leapt when I heard her gasp at the impact. 'Maybe she would make it' I hoped. His gaze drifted up and down my slim figure. I was never a self conscious women, long blonde hair and soft blue eyes I was used to the looks but his penetrating gaze seemed to go deep into my core.

For the first time I studied him, in my dreams the victims had only been able to see his silhouette but in the dim lighting I was finally able to see his features, and he was unmistakably gorgeous. He had shoulder length raven black hair. He began to walk forward and everything went still. I was too scared to move.

"You're trembling" he spoke as if his voice was the wind.

"Cold" I mumbled unable to take my eyes from his metallic orbs as if transfixed. His hand ran over my stomach, slowly pushing me backwards till I felt myself pressed against a tree.

"Cold now?" he said his presence so close I felt his breath against my ear. His hands slowly ran down my arms as I shook my head. I was dimly aware of him lifting my right hand. If you asked me in this moment who I was I couldn't tell you all that was, was him.

I felt a sharp pain in my index finger and gasped still not taking my eyes from his, till my hand came into view. His nose rubbed my cheek, his chiseled features so more prominent in the dim light cast by the moon. His soft lips pressed against my finger and I felt him suckle gently. When he pulled away I craved for him to once again press against me.

"We will meet again Gabrielle" he whispered and then the dark night seemed to consume him and he was gone. I fell to my knees.

"Melakye" I whispered my voice sounded like his, just drifting in the wind and for some reason I knew he had heard me, just like I knew that, that was his name. I called the police and rapped a scarf tightly around the victim's wound but not tight enough to suffocate the girl and then I ran home to my empty house.

The next week passed in a daze. Not another attack had been heard of and Kate, the red head, was recovering but apparently still needed psychological help. Even though the attacks had stopped and everything was returning to normal, once again I found myself staring out my window to where I could see the trees of central park and wondering what had happened to my vampire. Turning away closing the curtains as I went a figure caught my eye. Standing on the curb out front of my apartment staring up at me with glowing silver metallic eyes. I threw the curtain open but he was already gone. That night the dream came back.

A male figure crouched on the rooftop. Watching upon the city, Gabrielle immediately recognised Central Park, from here the city lights burned like a thousand miles of fire. He stood getting her attention then stepped off the edge. She tried to scream but couldn't. His long black cloak bellowed up above him, raven black hair blowing in the wind. Even though it was over a ten-storey drop he landed gracefully, not even faltering his step as he began to walk threw Central Park. She couldn't understand how he moved so quickly because he was suddenly standing in front of an apartment building. The apartment building seemed familiar but she had only eyes on him. He leapt and grabbed hold of a window frame, effortlessly pulling himself up and through. He gently palmed the curtains aside and stoop next to a dark ebony-wood four poster bed. 'I have a bed like that' Gabrielle thought and then as she saw the figure in the bed that the mans metallic silver eyes where transfixed on, sudden understanding hit her like a ton of bricks. Of course the dam building looked familiar, it was hers and at the moment a vampire was standing over her. She tried frantically to wake up but it was a dream and despite all she tried she was trapped in it. He lifted a knee onto the bed leaning across to her and acting as if she was as frail as a butterfly in his hand, lifted her to him. His hand went up and with gentleness she didn't think possible for him to posses, slowly moved long strands of blonde hair from her face. A single word, like a whisper in the wind escaped her sleeping lips.

"Melakye"

It just purred from my lips as I felt my eyes flutter. I could still feel his arms around me, possessively yet there was something else in his hold as if a yearning, my eyes snapped open. They where met by a beautiful emerald green that seemed to go on forever and hold the worlds worth of suffering. Even with the eyes a different colour I could tell without a doubt that this was my vampire, my Melakye. I have no right to call him mine but for some reason I was filled with in unmistakable yearning to be his and he mine. My whole body was ridged with fear.

"Do not fear me, Gabrielle" He whispered I could feel his breath rolling off my skin. His hand came up and I was filed with panic. This was a guy who all I knew about him was his name was Melakye and he attacked young women for fun. Though all he did was stroke my cheek. His hands where cold and I felt shivers down my cheek where his hand traced soft circles. "Why do you fear me?" he whispered. I couldn't move my eyes where suddenly drawn to his lips, where his fangs were slightly extended. His eyes were going that deep metallic silver colour once more. His lips pulled back and he lowered them to my neck but for some reason I didn't have any fear. My head gently arched backwards a little and I felt his canines ever so slightly prick against my skin but not enough to actually pierce.

"Is this what you are afraid of?" Melakye whispered a slight English tint to his accent. I could feel his lips brushing against my neck as he spoke. My breath was coming in short deep gusts. Suddenly his face was an inch away from my staring deep into my fear filled eyes. "Or is this what you are afraid of, my Gabrielle" I could feel my insides purr when I heard him utter my name but then his lips where suddenly claiming mine. At first it was a gentle kiss, my heart skipping a beat. I opened my mouth a little to tell him to stop but then his tongue entered exploring my mouth. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't exactly push him away. His lips where softer then I thought and his caress gentle. I suddenly realised what I was doing as I felt his hand slowly go up my side and back down again, along my hip... I was almost lost again but I fought for my mind to make sense of what was going on. My hands quickly went to his chest and I pushed him back. He could stop me as I realised how hard his chest was, like pushing against a brick wall. His lips lingered a second then gently pulled away. My dam body wasn't exactly using its brain when I saw a gentle smile reach his lips and once again I found myself transfixed with them. He pulled away from me and once again I found myself yearning for his touch. I sat up as he got off my bed, he stood for a moment starring down at me and I found myself wondering if my lips where as swollen as his from our kiss. He then turned away. Before I could stop myself I had grabbed him and pulling his arm dragged him closer. It wasn't as precise as his kiss but he responded none the less his hand went up and caressed my cheek. He pulled back and looked deep into my eyes.

"Sweet dreams my Gabrielle" he whispered looking breathless and kissed me gently on the lips and then he disappeared through my window before I could utter a single word.

I spent the night tossing and turning then that turned into pacing my apartment pointlessly till I was sure I had fully walked in the carpets. I fell backwards onto my bed exhausted but just as I tried to close my eyes my alarm clock buzzed to say it was time for work.

I couldn't help but zone out through the day, I couldn't help it! my mind kept wondering to Melakye. More then once I had to pinch my self to make sure I was awake. He was a vampire, even saying it in me head I couldn't help but shudder. I'm a very open minded person but there is a difference in believing and seeing. You accept that people are murdered but it's a whole different thing seeing it you don't want to believe your eyes…or your heart.

When I finally finished my shift I was so lost in thought that I missed my bus. Swearing profusely I realized I had to do the 45min walk home, through central park. I turned and looked at the once peaceful central park and felt the shiver go up my spine.
