Destry and I were on one of our little walks through the park. Our fingers were interlaced together. We swung our hands back and forth as we walked along the path that lead to the swings. Luckily, it hasn't been raining at all this week, but it still was cloudy.

"I never thought I would say this, but I sure do miss the sunlight" Destry looked up at the sky as he sat on the swings with me straddling his hips.

"Yeah so do I.." I sighed, leaning against the rope of the big toy.

"So I take it that you don't sparkle in the sun?" He joked.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"No Des I so do sparkle in the sun. I'm also attracted to pale, fragile human girls with a bird name for a last name" I stated sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes and smiled, leaning in to kiss my cheek then my lips. I smiled back into the kiss, but that soon faded once I sensed someone was near. And this someone was not human. I pulled away, my eyes darkening.

"Babe, Ryan are you alright?" Destry asked, gently placing a hand on my shoulder.

I held a finger up to his lips, telling him to be quiet. The someone was a male vampire, heading this way. I recognized his familiar scent of only pure death. It had been one I loved so much..one that never left my senses. It was a memory that stained my mind.

"Dax.." I growled, hurrying to take off my jacket.

"Put this on Des, hurry" I tossed my leather jacket at him. He looked confused, but did as he was told. I then took a whiff of him. My scent had only slightly masked his own. It would be enough to hide him from other vampires maybe, but not from Dax.

The soul taker had a strong smell for human blood. He could easily make out that Destry wasn't one of us. I sensed him getting closer. Quickly a grabbed Destry's hand and pulled him close to me. I started walking as fast as I could with Des almost stumbling to keep up.

"Ryan, what the hell is going on? Why are your eyes black?" He looked at me with concern blue eyes.

I stopped, taking a deep breath. He's close. Quickly I pulled Destry along, even faster than before.

"I have to keep you safe from him.." I whispered.

"Safe from who?!" His eyes widened.

Des's question was soon answered when a tall dark figure suddenly popped up in front of us. I pulled my love close behind me. His skin was white as snow and his hair was as dark as his cold undead heart.

"What the hell do you want Dax?!" I growled, exposing my razor sharp fangs.

"What does it look like I want doll? I want you and your gorgeous demon soul" he grinned, brushing his fingers against my cheek.

"Don't touch me you asshole!" I snapped, slapping his hand away "How dare you have the nerve to show your face around here again!"

"Ryan.." Destry whispered "..Stop don't make him angry"

Dax chuckled and stared at us both with chilling crimson red eyes.

"Who is this? I've never seen him before" Dax said, taking a step forward.

He shoved me away, his strength in the push caused me to fall on the ground.

"Hello there handsome, I'm Dax" he stroked Destry's cheek "Who might you be?"

"I..I'm-" Des failed to speak. He trembled slightly under the eyes of the soul taker, which made my anger rise. How dare he touch and frighten my baby!

I got up from the ground and quickly cut in between the two, hissing in Dax's face.

"Touch him again and I'll rip that pretty boy face of yours to shreds!" I yelled.

"So my back wasn't a good enough clawing post for you, huh?" He smirked, raising a dark eyebrow "Will you be screaming my name again too?"

Oh hell no. That was too damn far, and in front of Destry too.

"I will.Kill.You" I said through clenched teeth, my hands shaking in anger.

"Ryan" Destry said in a stern voice, wrapping an arm tightly around my waist again "He's not worth it now lets go."

I sighed and looked down, nodding my head slightly. We both turned away from Dax and then started to walk to our hide out.

"See you around Ry-Ry" I heard Dax chuckle then blur away.

I shook my head and pulled Destry onto my back. He buried his face in my neck as I took off running to our get away cabin.

~~

"So who's this Dax guy and how does he know you?" My love suddenly asked, laying his head on my lap.

"Is this our story time pose or something?" I smiled slightly, running my fingers through his hair.

"Yes, yes it is" he smiled innocently, poking the tip of my nose with his finger.

I chuckled and snapped at his finger, making him pout as he pulled it back quickly.

"Meanie, now tell me!" He demanded.

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. This was a story I didn't like telling. It brought back painful memories that I wish would just disappear forever.

"Dax was somewhat of a boyfriend to me way back in once-upon-a-time land" I spoke slowly, opening my eyes to meet Destry's.

"What happened to you two?" he asked, more curious than jealous.

"Well lets just say he wasn't the type to commit to one" I looked away to the window "He's a dirty, worthless heart breaker, who only cares about himself.."

Destry sat up and pressed his thumb against something wet on my cheek. I flinched back slightly then turned to face him.

"I didn't know vampires could cry.." his eyebrows came together in concern "Was he really that bad of a guy?"

"Was?" I laughed "He still is Destry, he use to lure helpless humans into having sex with him and then he would kill them for their blood..I shouldn't be the one to judge though, I use to kill with him until I found out about the other part...and by the smell of him today..I could tell he still does it" I looked down again, feeling tears slip down my cheek "And yes, yes vampires do cry but only the ones that aren't so cold hearted"

"Is that why you had to get me away from there?" he wiped my tears away.

I nodded, biting into my bottom lip with a hiss as my fangs cut the skin. The thought of Dax or anybody hurting my love made me want to claw someones eyes out. I couldn't even think of a world without Destry. I couldn't live without him.

"Ryan you're bleeding" he lifted my chin up gently "Or atleast I think you are.."

I wiped away the black liquid from my lip and ran my tongue over it to close up the wound.

"Sorry" I mumbled, laying my head on his chest "And by the way, yes, we also bleed, but as you can see, it's black instead of red".

He nodded and kissed the top of my head.

"And either way Ryan, you're beautiful" Destry sighed, leaning back against the couch.

"I may be beautiful, but you sir are way gorgeous" I smirked.

He raised his eyebrows and snorted.

"Oh yeah right" he played with a strand of my hair "You are way more gorgeous than I am"

"You sir are wrong" I giggled, getting up.

It wasn't even a second I was standing before he grabbed onto my hips, and pulled me back down onto his lap. His fingers traced down my back as his lip pressed against my jaw. I gasped as hands pressed firmly against my ass, pulling me closer to him.

"Destry s-stop" I shivered, putting my hands on his chest.

"Now do I have to use my powers on you again Ryan?" he looked up and me and smirked. My mouth dropped open as I glared at him.

"Hell no! Don't you dare Destry Nyx!" I hissed.

He laughed and pecked me on the lips. I pouted but kissed him back.

"And you say that I'm the meanie" I mumbled.

He laughed again but louder, wiping away an imaginary tear.

"What a drama queen" he giggled.

"Excuse me?" I raised an eyebrow, making him press his lips together to hold back laughter.

"I'm only kidding my love!" he smiled another innocent smile.

"Yeah, that's what I thought" I sighed, looking at the calendar in the middle of the coffee table. Soon Destry would be starting school, which means we wont be spending as much time together.

He looked at me with a confused look, and followed my eyes to the calendar. Des frowned as he looked back at me. His hand gently rubbed my back in circular motions.

"Why don't you just start school with me? It'll be fun Ryan, please?" He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I groaned, falling back onto the couch.

"I told you already, school just isn't meant for me anymore" I sighed.

"Oh come on babe just do it for me?" His blue eyes seemed to sparkle as he made a fake sad face. Damn it, why did he have to be so damn cute?

I groaned louder and sat up, glaring at him slightly.

"Fine you big baby, I'll do it" I said, giving into his puppy dogness.

"Thank you my love!" He smiled brightly and crushed his lips against mine. I rolled my eyes and kissed him back, smiling into the kiss.

"Yeah yeah, whatever!" I giggled and pushed him down so that I could lay on top of him.

I put my ear up to his chest, listening to his heart beat as I relaxed. His hand stroked my hair gently as his other hand made the remote float over to him. He flicked on the TV and started watching some random movie about creatures from the underworld. At least one person got something right about us.

I sighed and blocked out the thoughts of the real underworld. Instead I thought about the school I would soon be attending to and how I would explain it to Jay. I had to admit I was a little nervous about it all, but as long as I had Destry with me, then I knew I would be just fine.

Ew, who likes school? I sure don't but I thought it would be a good idea for the two to go since they are teenagers.
