My Ex-Boyfriend Became a Vampire Recently... And He Wants Me Back
Chapter 25
~Claire's POV~
"What about Sophie and Luke? Are they ok?"
"They're fine." I sighed with relief. I was overjoyed to hear that. I felt a tingle in the back of my throat. I was thirsty. I winced. Alex smiled sadly, knowing exactly what was going on. "It was bound to happen sooner or later, wasn't it? Well, come on."
"You know I don't think I ever really thought this vampire thing through."
"You didn't. Now let's go."
"I can't do it, Alex."
"You'll die."
"But... I can't Alex! I can't even think of it! It's so horrible."
"If I had to learn to do it, so do you." I looked at Alex, slightly horrified by the thought of it.
"That puts a whole new perspective on you, Alex." Alex sighed.
"You're stalling."
"So?"
"So come on. Let's go." I sighed and followed Alex over to the broken window. I gulped.
"That's a long way down." Alex didn't even flinch as he jumped out of the window and landed gracefully on his feet. I sat down on the windowsill, trying to convince myself it wasn't as high as it actually was.
"If it'll help I'll be here to catch you." I nodded. I closed my eyes and pushed off of the windowsill, landing with a little thud in Alex's arms. "You ready for this?"
"For what?" Alex put me down and smiled at me.
"There are some advantages to being a vampire." With that, he took off. To my eyes, it looked like he was just running a normal speed, but I knew he was probably going over a thousand miles per hour. I smiled and laughed before taking off to follow him. My legs were getting stronger and begging for more with each step. I caught up to Alex and looked at him. Alex smiled before stopping. I looked at the scenery and we were in the middle of downtown. "Now let's satisfy that thirst of yours. I'm not having you die on me." Oh God. Suddenly, being a vampire didn't seem like such a good idea.

She really didn't think the vampire thing through very thoroughly. Silly girl. Too late to turn back now!
