-----NICOLE'S POV-----

I awoke to the feeling of the hot sun beating down on my bare back and the sound of sizzling waffles, followed by the smell of whip cream. Propping up on my elbow, I felt something soft and some-what cold slide down the small of my back. I looked down to see that Ash must have brought a sheet out while I slept. Wrapping the fabric around my body, I stood and made my way to the kitchen which was connected to the living room.

“Mmm, waffles,” I some-what moaned as I wrapped my arms around his torso.
“Well good morning to you too,” he smiled back.
“How’d you sleep?”
“Wonderfully. You?”
“It’s the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Probably because I was worn out.”
“And why is that?” he chuckled.
“Oh, I think you know,” I whispered seductively while kissing his neck.
“Mmm...Nicole, the waffles are gonna burn.”
“Let them.”

Instead of listening to me, however, he moved the pan to a different burner and turned off the stove. He then turned around and sat me on top of the counter across from the stove. Coming to stand between my legs, Ashley wrapped his muscular arms around my body and tangled his fingers into my hair as he kissed me. I did the same and he moved the sheet out of the way to continue on from last night.

-----TIME LAPSE-----

After I showered, I threw on a pair of my shorts and one of Ashley’s t-shirts (I like baggy shirts anyways). I blow dried and straightened my hair, brushed my teeth, and brushed my hair a second time before leaving the bathroom. I then found Ashley leaning on the balcony railing, looking over the beach and to the ocean.

“So...do you have any questions about last night?” he asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“One,” I blushed.
“What is it?”
“How come I was bleeding? I’ve already lost my virginity so I don’t see how it...popped again.”
“When you change from human to vampire, all your wounds are healed. Even a ‘popped cherry’ heals.”
“Okay, ‘cause I was really confused.”
“Haha, I know it’s a little weird but you’ll get used to it.”
“Wait, if that’s true then why does Kaitie have all of those scars on her body still?”
“Because…” he trailed off. His face changed from calm and relaxed to a look that made it seem like he was about to throw up.
“Ashley?”
“She was already dead before Andy changed her.”
“What?”
“Yeah…” Kaitie’s voice added.
“Whoa!” I gasped, shocked. “Not to sound rude but why are you here?”
“His thoughts are pretty loud and I could hear him remembering that night but...I wanted to tell you from my perspective.”
“Okay, what happened?”
“Let me show you.”

Kaitie took my left hand between both of hers and inhaled deeply. I closed my eyes just as she did and I was suddenly transported into her mind. I could see everything from a bird’s eye view and I wasn’t prepared for what happened next.

-----KAITIE’S POV (THE NIGHT SHE DIED BUT WAS CHANGED)-----

I was walking home one night on my way from work and I noticed a huge crowd of people standing outside a venue. Since I didn’t like confrontations and crowded spaces, I decided to take a shortcut through the alley on the right. I walked past the dumpsters and a bottle rolling on the ground startled me.

Suddenly, three guys came to stand in front of me and the one in the middle removed his hood. His choppy blonde hair, matted, was dried with sweat and hung over his right eyebrow which was pierced. I promise to spare you the rape but I can tell you that I was slightly happy that I died when they were done.

My eyes opened and I was laying in a bed with black satin sheets and closed black curtains. I sat up, confused and terrified that I only passed out from the rape instead of dying. Then a tall man with long black hair and a Batman tattoo on his right forearm walked into the room with a bottle of water in his hand. I backed up against the wall and, when he tried to touch me, I hit him and flung his body against the wall.

Rather than leaving, he explained to me what was going on. He then showed me a picture of the shredded remains of the three guys who raped me. I cried for three hours straight and the entire time, he stayed by my side and held me as I cried into his chest. He didn’t even mind barely knowing me. In fact, it felt like he had known me for centuries. That’s the moment I fell in love with Andy.

-----NICOLE’S POV-----

I wanted to cry my heart out and hug somebody. I was in Kaitie’s mind and I felt all of her disgust she felt when she woke up as a vampire. She felt grimey, sticky, and just down right violated and disgusted beyond belief. I wrapped my arms around her torso and hugged her tightly to me and I felt her start to cry. I then heard the flapping of wings and I looked to see Andy standing on the balcony with his leathery bat wings fully extended. He wrapped his arms around Kaitie and, flying off, kissed her softly on the cheek.

“He has wings?” I asked Ashley.
“I do too,” he smiled, extending what looked to be a pair of raven wings. "We all do."
“C-can I...”
“Touch them?”
“Yeah…” I blushed.
“Of course. I ugh...be careful when you touch them though.”
“Why?”
“It’s like petting a bird. It feels..." he pondered for a moment "’nice’,” he blushed.
“What do you..." I ended that question when I saw the look of embarrassment on his face.
"It feels 'nice'."
"OOOOOOOH!”
“Yeah…”

Carefully, I extended my right hand over his left wing. This is the first time I’ve seen a pair of wings up close and especially this massive. I mean, each wing was larger than my whole body. Not wanting to touch them too hard, I used the tips of my fingers to trace down the top of Ashley’s purplish blue raven wings and I watched his eyes roll back before he closed them. He bit his lip as I continued tracing the soft feathers that extended from their arches and, standing directly in front of him, I removed my hand. His eyes opened and I was pulled to kiss him as his wings surrounded us both. I then felt an odd swirling in my stomach but I ignored it and figured it was just me being tired.
