decode.

Anna smirked. "I think we might have," she said softly.

Brian shook his head. "Not really," he spoke.

Zacky chuckled. "Well, do you maybe want to get something to eat with me?" he asked.

October looked up at him. "You're weird, but I like it," she said. She didn't know why she was so attracted to him.

Anna grinned. "That sounds like a great idea, sir."

--

Brian smiled softly. "I'm glad that you do."

Zacky chuckled and led her inside. "Where do you want to sit?" he asked.

---

October closed her eyes and slowly started to drift off.

Anna blushed. "You can pick," she whispered, fiddling with the straps of her purse.

Zacky led her over to a booth and sat down, smiling at her. "I prefer booths."

Anna smiled, sitting down. "Me, too."

"So, do they have good food here?" Zacky asked. Even after all the time he'd spent in this town, he'd never come here before.

Anna nodded her head. "Their chili dogs are to die for."

"Sounds good, then," Zacky said, making a slight face as his fangs started to throb.

Anna frowned. "Are you okay?" She asked, noticing Zack's discomfort.

Zacky nodded his head. "Uh, yeah," he said, trying to quickly think of an excuse. "My teeth are just a bit sore. I probably need to go to the dentist soon."

Anna nodded her head. "Okay," she said softly.

Zacky smiled at her. He had to find some way for her to cut herself so he could get her blood. Because he knew if he bit her, she'd leave and he'd never see her again. But how was he supposed to do that?

Anna picked up the menu, cursing when the special's list caused her to get a papercut. "Oh, damn," she mumbled, embarrassed.

Zacky stared at her finger, biting his lip hard. He reached over and grabbed her hand, bringing her finger up to his mouth and sucking the blood out of her finger.

"Woah, buddy...you okay?" Anna asked when he pulled away. She was a little weirded out, but chalked it up to Zack being drunk.

Zacky licked over his lips as he looked up at her. "You've never done that before?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Well I have, but I've never had someone else do it." Anna spoke softly.

"Oh," Zacky shrugged, biting his lip hard. "I'm sorry."
