Friday, 22nd January, 2010It had been almost three months since Emerald had that Halloween party which had resulted in a bit of a catastrophe when Alex had been attacked by one of Emerald’s vampire friends who hadn’t fully transitioned from human blood to animal blood. She had taken violently ill due to the vampire in question who bit her having venom. Thankfully Liam was able to bring Alex back to full health, despite the fact she had an ability which could have healed her, it was rendered useless by the venom. Liam thought he and Alex were meant to be together for the rest of their lives, but sadly Liam never saw Alex again. He put it down to the fact she became more terrified of what he was after what happened to her than she had ever cared to admit. Liam was devastated because he had truly lost his heart to her and now he just felt empty and yet he had to help Emerald keep the night club running. He was at the club now because Emerald was doing other things, probably off spending the night with her vampire lover Memphis. In many ways Liam wished he had a vampire lover, because he was always around humans at first, especially females. It didn’t usually take him long to befriend them and then be able to talk more openly and easily, but the first few moments between him and a human female was always usually awkward. Since Alex had disappeared, Liam had gone down a very dark path, not that he was feeding or anything, he still wouldn’t hurt another human, unless they were threatening the ones he loved and even then he wouldn’t kill them or feed on them. No Liam’s dark path was that he wasn’t able to control his temper. He had thrown out many customers due to them doing something which would annoy Liam. The truth was, he was missing Alex, he was missing the girl he thought was going to be his soul mate and it was bringing out a side to Liam that he didn’t even like. “Ho, Liam, when are you going to put a smile on that face of yours again? Don’t you think we’ve suffered you wallowing long enough?” One of Emerald’s vampire friends said to him. Liam’s eyes grew dark, “Valentino you have no idea how I am feeling, just don’t.” He then flew at the other vampire and threw him into the bar, with his hand around his neck. “Wait until you lose the woman you thought was your soul mate then you will...” He trailed off as his eye caught a female come into the club. His eyes slowly changed from onyx to amber and a slow smile began to spread over his face. She had come back to him. It was Alex. He let go of Valentino and made his way over to the girl he thought was Alex, but he got so far and realised it wasn’t Alex, but a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Alex. Could she be a relative? She was so like Alex and the only thing he could think of was the moment he had met her. They had fallen for each other instantly, Liam found he couldn’t take his eyes off of this girl, she looked like Alex, so very much like her, but it wasn’t her. “I... I...I’m sorry.” He said stammering over his words as he began to back away from the girl, “I...I...I thought you were....” He stopped and swallowed, averting his eyes from looking in her direction, “...someone else.” He continued as he finally got himself behind the bar and looked at Valentino to try and dissuade himself from looking at the girl who was as gorgeous and captivating as Alex had been.

Isabella couldn't believe that her winter break was almost over, and she would have to go back to university. Though really, Bella hardly went to her classes as it was. The whole time she would go out every single night, and then just crash in the early hours of the morning. Because of this, she would just sleep the day away. A few times she managed to not do anything, or not stay out too late, then made a few classes. Though really she never saw herself doing or amounting to much, so she just took random classes, that wouldn't really take her anywhere. Bella did like travelling, and wondered if this was her chosen career: a air hostess. She would get to see the world all the time.
So again it was another typical night for Bella, and she dressed down a little this time, just putting on a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black jacket. Once her sneakers were on, Bella applied a bit of make up, and looking in the mirror, hoping that she would pass for twenty-one, even though she wasn't that for a couple more years yet. Bella had heard about his club called Cortez's Night Club, and hadn't checked it out yet, which was surprising. She had pretty much gotten into most clubs in the area, and visited them frequently. Bella had been told a few things about the club, and decided to actually go and make up her own mind.
She took a taxi, and finally was at the entrance of the club. Bella paid the driver, and got out, slamming the door behind her. She approached the bouncer at the door, and gave him a seductive smile. Bella started to get her fake I.D. out, when they waved it away, and nodded towards the open door. She gave him more of a smile, and entered the club. Bella soon got inside, and looked around.
Bella bit her bottom lip a bit, wondering if she should just get a drink, or maybe see if there was dancing. She soon made up her mind to get a drink, but as she turned towards the bar, a guy was heading in her direction, one she had never seen before. But instantly she noticed his fine features, and that smile of his that was on his face. A small smile crept along her lips, and thought that her luck was in her court that night. But then as she was getting close to him, he began to stumble over his words Then he stopped looking at her, saying he thought she was someone else. He then walked away.
Okay, thought Bella, that was weird. But now she was curious, and wondered who he thought she was. Ex? Dead sister? Whatever it was, it might end up being a good thing for her? Bella slowly made her way over to the bar, and sat down. She eyed off the strange guy who sort of approached her only seconds ago, wondering what his deal was. She could see he was trying to not look at her at all, which made her curiosity continue. So to make the first move, as always, Bella lent over the bar, and touched the guy's arm. "Whoever you think I am, I'm not. So you know you can look at me. I won't shatter like glass."

Liam was desperately trying not to look at the girl who was so like Alex and yet he found his eyes kept wandering in her direction. Valentino was eyeing up Liam and then after looking at the girl he made his way to the other side of the bar and snapped his fingers in front of Liam’s eyes. “Ho, Liam, snap out of it man, I know she’s like her, but you know it’s not her, she’s long gone.” Liam turned to Valentino and sighed, “Do you not think I know that?” He felt terrible for walking away from the girl, but he had to, all the awkwardness that he had at the beginning with Alex was coming out again. She was human and so like Alex it was scary. A vampire finding something scary, how ironic was that? He started lifting the glasses out of the glass cleaner and began to dry them off, as he continued to try and not look at her and kept failing.
Just as he thought he was doing a good job of keeping his eyes off of her, he felt a hand on his arm, which made him snap his head right round at her and he looked down at her hand on his arm. Even the touch of her hand on his arm was similar to the way Alex used to touch him. He wanted to move back away from her, to stop her hand from being on his arm, and yet he found he couldn’t move. When she started to speak his eyes slowly moved from looking at her hand to looking at her face. She could have been Alex’s identical twin, but her mannerisms weren’t the same. Alex wouldn’t have spoken like that. Now he was finding he couldn’t stop looking at her at all and another small smile began to spread over his face. She might not be Alex, but maybe once he got to know her, they could be friends at the very least.
“I... I... I’m sorry about before, I...I... I just thought you were... I’m sorry, you are right, you... are... not... her.” He said slowly as he tried to gain his composure and stop the stammering in his voice. He wanted to know if she was different, like Alex had been, would she be able to stay looking that way forever, like he would. Then he felt like snapping at himself for thinking like that when they hadn’t even introduced themselves. He wondered what she was thinking, but like with Alex he couldn’t hear anything. Maybe that was a sign in itself. He had been destined for a quiet life with Alex, maybe he could be destined with a quiet life with this girl instead. “My... name... is... Liam... Cortez... I... am... the... co-owner... of... this... establishment.” He said slowly as he tried desperately to keep his words from stammering all over the place. He began to wonder if it would take him as long to speak to this girl normally as it had to speak to Alex all those months ago.
To break the ice more, he thought he would ask if he could get her a drink, she was in a club and at the bar, obviously she wanted a drink. Valentino was keeping a close eye on Liam behind the bar and soon enough Liam was slapped on the back by Valentino, and then he whispered into Liam’s ear, “Hurry up and serve her Li, cause if you don’t, she’s mine.” He chuckled a deep throaty laugh and then walked off to go and serve a few customers at the other side of the bar. Liam looked down at his feet for a second and shifted uncomfortably and then realised he couldn’t act like this around every single human female who came into the club. He looked back up again slowly, “So, what can I get you to drink?” He asked, the nerves subsided for now, as he tried not to lose himself in her too much.

Bella had had enough of the silent treatment from the guy, and had to get his attention. She put her hand on his arm, and watched him looked down at where it was. Bella frowned a little, but then spoke to him, using that smart mouth of hers. Sometimes it got her into trouble, but she knew she had to say something. The curiousity inside her was getting the better of her, and she had to know what the guy's deal was. Bella continued to look at him, and watched his gaze move to her face, as she spoke. He didn't flinch or anything, continuing to look at her. Then she saw that smile creep onto his face, wondering what the hell he was thinking.
Then he spoke, like he wasn't sure what to say to her. Broken sentences were spoken, and Bella searched his face for a complete answer. Then the one thing she had thought was soon brought forward to her mind. So it seemed that she looked like someone he knew, or used to know. Whatever it was, she had to make him know that she wasn't like the other person he knew or used to know. Bella somehow didn't know how to start, feeling her lips rub together, not sure what to make of the situation.
Then he spoke again, slowly getting his own name out, and Bella felt her face relax a little. Bella wasn't sure if the guy would take her hand if she offered it when introducing herself, so she just nodded. "Isabella Tislon. Or Bella, whatever you prefer," Bella shrugged a little, looking around the club aimlessly from where she was sitting. "Cool club." Well she didn't want to give it a bad rep, just because one of the owners were a bit weird right now. But she looked at him, and somehow felt that he was not dangerous, feeling safe right now.
One of the other barmen went over to Liam, and slapped him on his back, then said something in his ear, which Bella couldn't hear at all. She rested her elbow on the bar, and then put her chin in her hand, looking around behind the bar, wondering what she will have. In the corner of her eye, the other barman left Liam, and she watched as he looked at his feet. Bella bit on her bottom lip, then continued to scan the bar. Then he finally spoke to her, asking what she wanted to drink. So that she didn't feel completely stupid, or very underage, Bella spoke straight away. "I will have a white wine thanks." She gave him a small smile, and waited for her drink to come to her.

As Liam stumbled his words out to the girl and told her that he thought she was someone else and he was sorry he knew that he was going to have to pick up his game or they would lose a potential customer. Although looking at her Liam could sense that she might not be old enough to drink in the bar, but he didn’t care. He could glamour anybody who happened to question it, it was just an aspect of his ability he didn’t like to use. Liam had then taken the opportunity to introduce himself to her but not wanting to offer his hand, knowing that it would be cold to her touch, and he wasn’t quite ready to tell her he was a vampire although she might figure it out soon enough. The girl nodded and gave her own name, and in a way he was glad she hadn’t offered her hand, although he probably would have taken it. Being brought up in the era he was born in he had exceptionally good manners.
Liam smiled when he heard her name and repeated it, “Bella.” He said softly, it sounded nice and it felt good on his tongue, and so he decided to repeat it a few times, “Bella, Bella, Bella!” Drawing the name out slightly each time and then realising what he had done, he sort of shied his head away slightly but kept smiling, “Sorry... I... just... like... the...sound of your name.” He said, starting off slowly and finishing at break neck speed. Why couldn’t he just act normal around human females for once? Or at least as normal as normal gets for Liam anyway. He watched as she seemed to take a look around the club taking it in and then she spoke saying it was a cool club. “Thank you.” He said softly but with ease.
After Valentino had slapped Liam and said he should hurry and serve her or she was his, this made Liam snap to attention so to speak and he finally asked if he could get her anything to drink again said with ease. It would seem that his nerves were backing down a lot more quickly with Bella than it had with Alex, maybe he was getting better after all. Bella asked for a white wine, “Sure.” He replied and immediately took a glass and began to pour her a glass of white wine. “Would you like ice with it?” He asked and waited for her answer before handing her over the drink. When he did hand her over the glass his hand brushed her own and as it happened, it was like Liam got an electric shock if that was possible and his eyes searched her face as he looked at her properly for the first time and felt himself falling all over again.
His eyes which had been slightly darker when she had first come in, due to the little fight with Valentino and been slowly returning to their normal amber colour and now they were in their full glorious amber state as he continued to just look at her, feeling lost for words all of a sudden, she was absolutely perfect, stunning in fact. He soon found his voice however, and thankfully he managed to keep it from stammering. “I am sorry, it’s just that I...” He trailed off, should he really say this when she had only been in the club for minutes? Hell why not, “...you are so beautiful.” He finished his sentence in his soft voice as he just continued to look at her, keeping his hand next to hers, which would be cold to her touch.

After she had said her name, Bella caught Liam smiling. Then she squinted ever so slightly at him saying her name softly, and began to repeat it another three times. Bella looked at him intrgued, and rolled her tongue around in her mouth, biting the inside of her bottom lip slightly. She then just looked at him, when he apologised, slowly talking, then finishing quickly. What is this guy's deal, she thought, but whatever it was he is starting to intrigue me some. Bella had then commented on the club being cool, and he thanked her softly again.
When he finally asked her if she wanted something to drink, Bella had requested white wine. She continued her position of resting her elbow on the bar, and then putting her chin in her hand, watching Liam pour her a glass of wine. When he asked if she wanted ice, she kind of frowned, then shook her head slightly. "No thanks." She hadn't heard of ice being put in wine, but she wasn't going to question that one right now. He finally handed the glass over, and his hand brushed her own. Bella got a cold shiver, noticing that his hand was cold to the touch. She knew it was cold out, but it was nice inside, and wondered what he had been doing before he served her. Maybe he was unpacking ice or something. Yes, that satisfied her curiosity for a while.
But after that touch, she watched Liam look at her, seeing his eyes moving over every inch of her features. She tilted her head slightly, "Were your eyes darker before? Or was I imagining it?" Bella took the glass in her hand, still keeping eye contact with him, and sipped at the wine. Just how she liked it, not too strong, but a lovely taste all the same. Bella slowly put the glass down, and continued to look at Liam. The next thing he said kind of took her aback. Bella look out to the side, feeling her mouth open slightly, and that tongue of her rolling around, trying to find words to reply with.
Normally she would have some smart remark to some guy trying to pick her up. But Liam seemed different, the situation very different. He seemed sensitive, shy, but somehow sure of himself. It was very hard to describe. No guy she had ever encounted of all of her years alive. "Uh... thank you I guess." Bella looked down at his hand, that was so close to her own, and she could feel the coldness of it. But his hand being there was kind of reassuring also.
Bella went to pick up her glass again, when a guy taped her on the shoulder. She turned around, and saw some hulk of a guy behind her. "Hey sweetheart. Wanna join me over there with my mates. They like what they see, and they want to take a closer look." The guy looked at Liam, and Bella saw the guy's eyes grow dark. "Uh, no thanks. I am happy just right here." She went to turn back, but the guy just grabbed her shoulder, pulling her off the chair. "We don't take no for an answer. No's cause pain, and I would rather tha pain come later."
Bella looked at Liam, with a scared look in her eyes. She never had this feeling inside her, and she didn't like it one bit. The guy was then dragging her by her arm towards his table, where she heard the guys at the table starting to whistle. Here is where my life ends, thought Bella, this is my last night on Earth.

After Liam had finally asked Bella what she would like to drink she had asked for a white wine, this had prompted Liam to ask if she wanted ice with it, and he noticed she frowned at him slightly, realising that wine wasn’t usually a drink you had ice with, he could have smacked himself, he was totally losing his cool so to speak around this girl. The fact that she was so like Alex and yet so different at the same time was definitely holding him captivated which was in turn making him lose his concentration about simple things such as asking if she wanted ice in her wine. When she replied saying no thanks he nodded his head, not wanting to admit his foolishness for having asked her about ice in the first place. He had then given her the glass and his hand brushed hers slightly which had been almost like an electric shock to him. She hadn’t seemed to notice how cold he was or she had and failed to question it, which was good enough for Liam for now, he wasn’t sure he could be bothered going into telling her what he was, yet.
However as Liam stared at Bella although he hadn’t meant to and yet not being able to help himself she had noticed his eyes had changed colour as she began to question it. This made Liam take his gaze away from her and he looked to the side as he began to wonder what to say to her. Maybe he could say it was a defect, his eyes just sometimes changed colour, but no, Liam didn’t like lying and he found he didn’t want to lie to Bella. He would have to tell her the truth, but he wasn’t sure if he was ready to yet. He looked back at her again and smiled weakly, “You were not imagining it, I was a little annoyed before you came in and when I am annoyed or unsure my eyes go black, when I am very angry, filled with rage angry they go red, but when I am happy and content they are usually amber most of the time.” Liam explained and gave her another weak smile, he had answered her question without actually telling her what he was, but he was pretty sure that what he had just told her would pique her curiosity more and she may ask more about it.
Liam had then blurted out that she was so beautiful and right away he wondered if he shouldn’t have said that. The girl had only been in the place a matter of minutes, he would be sure to send her packing soon enough with his weird mannerisms. She seemed to avert her eyes then and he saw her mouth open slightly, he wanted to apologise for making her feel uncomfortable as it looked as if she was with what he had said, but he wasn’t sorry at the same time because he had just told her the truth. She then spoke thanking him adding that she guessed, Liam looked into her eyes once more, “I am sorry if I seemed to embarrass you, but I am not sorry for saying it as I was only telling the truth.” He replied his voice steady and sure yet soft at the same time. Liam then watched her look down at his hand and he was so tempted to just take her hand in his own to hold it, but since calling her beautiful seemed to embarrass he wasn’t sure holding her hand would be a good move yet, but he didn’t move his hand, instead keeping it there.
That was when a big guy approached Bella from behind and tapped her on the shoulder asking her if she wanted to go over to where he and his friends were, but what the guy was saying didn’t please Liam because he knew what it meant. Liam could feel the anger build within him slowly and when the guy looked at him, Liam stared him down and began to slowly shake his head at him as if to say don’t you dare try anything. Bella said no, naturally but this guy wasn’t taking that as an answer and he soon grabbed at Bella’s shoulder saying they didn’t take no for an answer. Liam flew over the bar counter at break neck speed and was soon standing between Bella and the other, with one hand on Bella’s arm keeping her at a distance and his other hand around the guy’s neck. He turned to him, his eyes which had been turning black were now fiery red and Liam spoke to the guy, “I believe that she said she did not want to go with you.” Liam said in a firm voice and then as quick as anything Liam smashed one of the chairs into pieces and picked up a broken piece of leg and drove it through the heart of the bulky guy who had been dragging Bella away and he soon turned into a pile of dust.
“If the rest of you would not like to see the same thing happen to you then I would suggest you leave, now.” Liam boomed at the others and then watched with a slight smirk as they began to leave the bar. Liam then turned round to Bella and put both his hands on her arms and searching her face with his eyes, “Are you alright Bella? I am sorry about that. There is probably something you should know about me.” Liam said but left it at that, she may by now already have a fair idea what that something was, as she would have just seen what she thought was a human turning into dust when Liam had staked him.
{ooc - bit of Liam muse there lol - sorry about delay in posting and as I may be saying it a lot, it counts for all threads. I assumed that the guy who tried to grab her was a vampire with the mention of the line that his eyes were dark, if not, sorry I just made him one lol}

After Bella questioned what she had noticed with his eyes, Liam had looked away, and she wondered if she had spoken of a touchy subject. But really, normal people's eyes never did that, did they? Soon enough Bella got her answer, when Liam looked back, giving her a weak smile. He explained what had happened before she had come in, and then how they look when he is angry, and when he is happy and content. Liam gave her another weak smile after he spoke. Bella tilted her head slightly, still looking at Liam. "Um, okay then. So I suppose you are happy and content then, by looking at your eyes now."
Liam had then told her she was so beautiful, which had made Bella look away, leaving her mouth open very slightly. Her reply had been slow off the mark, saying thanks. She wasn't sure what to make of what he said. Then he looked into her eyes. Bella soon realised that when he did that, she felt like she had to look at him and listen to what he said. She wasn't under a physical trance or anything, but something inside her told her that she had to listen. Bella slowly gave him a quick small smile, "No. It's okay. I was just caught off guard, I guess." She turned, but then had to say quickly and to the point. "But really, I could be like any girl who comes in, and after a few minutes, you say that she is beautiful. I am not different to any other girl. Well, I think so anyway." There was nothing special about Bella. She was like your typical teenager.
Bella had heard his tone though, of how he said that to her. He seemed pretty sure of himself. Though he didn't use a tough tone, it was soft and reassuring at the same time. Bella had looked down at his hand near her own, and even they weren't touching, she could feel that coolness radiating off his skin, hitting her own bare skin.
As Bella had picked up her glass again to take a sip, a guy came over and tapped her on the shoulder, asking of she wanted to go over to where him and his friends were. Bella looked at the guy, who was looking at Liam, and saw his own eyes grow dark. She then glanced to see that Liam was shaking his head at the guy, looking down at him. Bella then said no to the guy, though she had a feeling that he wouldn't take no for an answer, and she was right. He then grabbed her shoulder, telling her as much, pulling her off of her chair.
Hearing what the guy had to say didn't sound good in Bella's head, and she soon felt like this was going to be her last night on Earth, wondering what these guys were capable of. The feel of the guy now dragging her by her arm, it felt like he could easily snap it like a twig in a matter of one second, if he could. Bella gasped as she watched Liam practically fly over the bar. Her eyes were already wide with being scared, but they grew more open at what she had seen Liam do. He was then in between her and the guy, now she had a hand on both arms, and she felt like she was going to be pulled apart in no time. Then she would surely be dead in a matter of a second.
Liam spoke to the guy in a firm voice, she glanced up to see that he had a hand on the guy's throat also. Bella couldn't see Liam's face fully, but she did see an eye and it was red in the middle, where it had been the amber colour, that reassuring colour that she was now used to. Bella blinked for a second, then saw Liam had a piece of broken wood from the chair that was smashed on the floor. She gasped, and again wide eyed watched as he drove the broken piece of furniture into the large guy's chest. Soon she felt the guy let go of her arm as his body turned to dust, leaving the residue on the floor. Bella put her hand up to her mouth, scared to do anything that might make the situation any worse. She felt her legs give way, and she fell to the ground, legs bent under her.
Bella heard what Liam said to the other guys who were sitting at the table she was going to be dragged to, and then watched them move out of the club. She blinked a few times, trying to get her head around what she had just seen. A man was stabbed with a piece of wood, and then turned to dust. Then she almost jumped when she felt a pair of hands on her arms, and then that voice asked her if she was alright. Bella looked up at him slowly, as he apologised and then added that there was probably something that she should know about him.
She slowly got up off the ground, but still felt a bit wobbly in the legs, glad for the hands that he was holding her up with. "I... that guy. You killed... he turned to..." Then Bella lost consciousness, and slowly felt herself fall.
{ooc - and yes you were correct he was a vamp. lol}

{ooc - I can't believe I'm ignoring older owed posts to reply to this, but I have the muse for Liam and yay for getting the vampire right lol}
When Bella had asked Liam about his eye colour because she had seen it changing he wasn’t sure what to tell her at first but then knowing that he couldn’t lie to her he told the truth and said that she wasn’t imaging it and explained about his eye colour, but he was still able to refrain from telling her that he was a vampire. He just didn’t think she was ready to hear that, yet. He watched Bella tilt her head slightly and then she spoke saying okay and asking if he was happy and content now because of his current eye colour. He smiled at her softly before speaking in his usual soft voice, “Yes I am.” He wanted to add that he was more than happy and content right at that moment, but again he just wasn’t sure Bella was ready to hear him say something like that. She was certainly holding him captivated but whether he was captivating her was another question entirely.
When Liam apologised to Bella asking if he had embarrassed her by saying she was so beautiful she gave him a quick small smile and then said that it was okay and that he had just caught her off guard. He was going to say something else, but she then continued which made Liam frown ever so slightly but still with that small smile on his face. When she turned to face him again he had to say what he was about to say, “You are wrong Bella. I do not say that to every single girl that comes into this bar. Yes, I will admit I said it to one girl before a few months ago and she was so much like you and yet you are so very different. You are different Bella and you are beautiful from the inside and out and what makes you even more beautiful is the fact that you do not even know it or believe it.” Liam sighed gently as he kept watching her and yet trying not to stare at her at the same time.
As Bella remained sitting at the bar she had taken another sip of her drink and Liam had kept his hand very close to hers, it was like she was a drug to him and he had to be near her, and they hadn’t even kissed, if they were to do that, then the feeling that he had would be even more intense, but he had to stop thinking like that, Bella might not even be interested in him, and he could tell that she most definitely wasn’t feeling for him the way he was scarily feeling for her, because if she was feeling that way then they surely would have kissed by now.
It was at this point when the big vampire had approached Bella tapping her on the shoulder and asking her to join them. Bella had naturally declined the offer but the guy hadn’t taken no for an answer and said as much to Bella and then began to drag her off toward the table where he and his friends had been sitting. Liam then quickly went into action flying over the bar counter and had stood between Bella and the vampire. Soon enough he had broken a chair into pieces and staked the vampire turning him into dust. After speaking to the rest of them and asking if they wanted the same thing to happen they had soon made their exit from the bar and Liam had then turned to Bella who was on the floor with her legs underneath her. He then put both his hands on her arms and asked her if she was alright.
Soon enough Bella began to stand up and Liam could tell that she was wobbly on her legs so he made sure to keep his hands in place on her arms to keep her steady. He locked his eyes with hers, his own back to their normal amber now that the guys had gone and that Bella was standing in front of him safe from harm. Bella began to speak to him and now it would seem it was her turn to speak in broken words and sentences. She didn’t get her sentence finished however and Liam didn’t get a chance to respond as Bella began to fall, but Liam was quick and got her up into his arms before she hit the ground and he carried her over to one of the soft seats in the bar. He snapped his fingers and Valentino came toward him, “Get a bowl of cool water and a clean cloth please.” Valentino nodded his head and quickly went to get what Liam had asked for.
He searched Bella’s face and neck carefully to make sure that the vampire hadn’t harmed her in anyway, or if there was anything at all visible that maybe his blood could heal, but he couldn’t see anything obvious. She must have just fainted he thought and no wonder really what with everything she had just gone through. If Liam hadn’t been on his guard then she might not be alive to tell the tale. Liam shuddered at that thought finding it too difficult to think about. Valentino was soon there with the bowl and cloth and Liam dipped it into the water gently and began to dab it around Bella’s face softly with one hand while the other was pushing her hair away from her face and all he could do was sigh gently as he looked at her. “You really are so incredibly beautiful Bella.” He said softly as he continued to look down at her and wondering if she would soon come around.

After Liam had commented on his varying eye colours and how he is feeling when they are those colours, Bella had asked him if he was happy and content at that moment. She blinked slowly at his reply, and faint smile touched her lips for a second. The sound of his voice was peaceful to her, and also at the same time bringing on feelings of lust, wanting him to continue in that same tone. Though through all that, she still found him slightly strange, if that was possible.
Bella had told Liam that she was like any other girl, and he could have told many that they were beautiful after a few minutes, like how he had with her. Every word he then said to her in reply, was knocking down any negativity she had in what she said. She felt her mouth open slightly, and her eyes locked with his. Bella had heard the first few words, mentioned about saying it to one girl months ago. But he had then said that she was like her, but Bella was very different. She found herself biting her bottom lip for a split second as he said that she was beautiful, and what made her more beautiful was the fact that she didn't even know it or believe it. Bella wanted to just tell him that it was the truth, but she knew to shut her mouth. She felt she couldn't argue out of this one. She was beginning to believe every word he just said.
Bella couldn't explain it. Liam was making her want to be close to him, and they had only just met. Sure, she had only dated high school boys, and some of them just ended up good friends, nothing more. But Liam, she felt, was older, and somehow he was giving her the attention she somehow craved.
But then the moment between them was broken when that big hulk of a guy came up and asked if Bella wanted to go over with him to where his friends were. She had obviously said no, but that wasn't the answer that the guy was after, because the guy soon began to drag her over to the table by her arm. Just as she thought that this was the night she was going to die, Liam stepped in, talking to the guy. Though as that didn't seem to work, she had watched in horror as Liam broke a chair, then stabbed the guy with a broken piece of the leg. Bella honestly didn't know where to look after that.
Bella looked at Liam, who had asked if she was alright. She had slowly stood up, speaking in incomplete sentences. But what she had witnessed had been too much, and she lost consciousness, fainting. Everything went black, but then a vision of Liam and him killing that guy. But she frowned thinking that when a person is killed they don't turn to dust. Then her thoughts went to movies about vampires. She gasped, then felt coolness on her face, and her eyes flew open. Her eyes darted around the room, then they fell on Liam's face. Then the two questions she wanted to ask more than anything just tumbled out of her mouth, "Was that man a vampire? Are you a vampire?"

When Bella had asked if he was happy and content given his current eye colour status he said that he was in his typically soft voice and when he saw Bella blink slowly and then a small smile appear on her lips he couldn’t help but give her a small smile back. There was this intense feeling there, he had only felt it one time before but this time it seemed even more intense if that was possible. But he had to stop himself from feeling this way, she was just a human, he could not bring her into his life it would not be fair and on top of that, there was the whole non aging thing, she would grow old while he remained the same. Not that that fact would bother Liam, but he just had this feeling that it may bother Bella.
After Bella had made the comment that he probably spoke to all girls in the way that he had spoken to her he told her that she was wrong and went on to say that she was beautiful and what made her even more so was the fact she didn’t even know it or believe it. He had actually expected her to retaliate to what he had said, to try and deny it, but she surprisingly didn’t say anything. Liam was finding that he couldn’t stop the small smile from constantly appearing on his face. He had seen her bite on her bottom lip however, something he found rather endearing about her. But there seemed to be a connection, whether or not Bella was feeling it too, Liam couldn’t be sure, but he was definitely feeling the connection.
Sadly the moment was interrupted when one of the big vampires had tried to drag Bella off to be with them at their table. This action had resulted in Liam flying over the bar and getting between Bella and the vampire who had been trying to drag her off and soon enough he had broken a chair and dusted the vampire. He knew that what had happened would probably make Bella fire some questions at him, but he wasn’t worried about that right then, all he was worried about was making sure Bella was okay. However he was getting broken sentences from her and then the next thing she had fainted. Naturally Liam had caught her before she fell to the ground and soon carried her over to one of the soft chairs and after demanding a clean cloth and a bowl of cold water from Valentino he had began to dab at her forehead with the cloth.
Soon enough he saw Bella’s eyes open and they seemed to look around the whole club before they seemingly settled back round to Liam again. Then she spoke and two questions came out in quick succession, questions that Liam knew only too well was going to be asked, he just wasn’t expecting them to be asked the soon as she had opened her eyes. He stopped dabbing at her forehead with the cloth and sighed gently as he looked down at her from where he was now standing. “Yes he was Bella and yes I am.” His eyes searched her face for a few seconds after he told her that he was indeed a vampire, “Are you afraid?” He asked in a very soft voice, and looked back toward the scene where he had earlier dusted the vampire, “I guess that you would be, but I am not like them Bella, I do not harm humans.”

After the ordeal of the big guy dragging Bella off and being killed, she had tried to get out some sort of sentence structure, but it wasn't working. She soon lost consciousness, and fainted. That vision that she had of what Liam had done, and how the guy had died had been enough for her to think of what happened in movies. What happened to people who were vampires. She had then felt the coolness on her face, and her eyes had then flown open. After looking around the room, her eyes had looked upon Liam's face, and asked two questions: whether the man was a vampire, and if Liam was one also.
Bella then quickly said, putting her hand up to her head, "But that is just stupid..." But that was all she got out when Liam then gave her the answers, answers she had hoped he wasn't going to say. Bella's mouth was open slightly, feeling her tongue rolling around slowly, trying to find the words to what he had just said. She blinked a little, then looked into his eyes as he asked if she was afraid. Bella bit on her bottom lip slightly, then felt her head try to shake no as an answer, as Liam added that he guessed she would be, but he wasn't like them as he didn't harm humans.
Bella blinked slowly again a couple of times, then began to sit up a bit in the chair. Her eyes fixed on Liam's face, then his eyes, and shook her head a bit more, "I don't feel afraid of you Liam. I don't understand why in the real world there are vampires." Bella looked down at her hands then in her lap. "I just believed them to be something from literature or from cinema, that is all." She then looked back at Liam, and slowly touched his hand, remembering how cold it was before, but that would help her feel more alive right now. "Can you tell me about you. About what you are?"

When Bella started to come round from fainting she had asked if the guy who had been trying to drag her off was a vampire and if he was one. However before Liam got a chance to answer her, she had put her hand up to her head stating that it was just stupid, but before she could finish what she was going to say Liam had told her that he and the other guy were indeed vampires. His answer had the effect on her that he figured it would, her mouth opened slightly and then she blinked slowly a couple of times. This was the moment when they all usually deserted him, usually the soon as they found out what he was they never wanted to know. He watched as she bit on her bottom lip slightly after he had asked her if she was afraid and saw her shake her head, but he wasn’t sure if that was a yes or no, so he went on to say that he guessed she would be but he didn’t harm humans.
Bella blinked slowly a couple of times and then he saw her sit up a bit in the chair and Liam found he couldn’t take his eyes away from her own. She was like no girl he had ever encountered before, not even with Alex. Yes they may look alike, but what he must have felt for Alex at the time must have been wrong for him, because it was nothing compared to how he was feeling for Bella and it was all happening so quickly as well. He had never had feelings so intense so quickly before. It was almost as if someone somewhere was trying to push them together, if that was even possible. He saw her look at his face and then her eyes moved to look at his eyes and then she began to speak and he felt relief wash over him when she said she didn’t feel afraid of him, but made a comment about not understanding why there were vampires in the real world.
Well Liam wasn’t sure what to say to that, because from the day many years ago that he was turned into a vampire, it was all he had ever known. She then looked down at her hands in her lap and then continued to speak saying she believed them only to be something from literature or cinema. He gave her a very weak smile and then she touched his hand, which made his hand feel warm for a few brief seconds. She then asked him to tell her about him, about what he was. He gave her a slightly warmer smile and then pulled a chair over to sit next to her not wanting to crowd her too much.
“I was sired many years ago when I was twenty two years old. Sired is the correct term for when a human is turned into a vampire. My sister was also sired the same day, our parents were killed. We never believed vampires to exist either Bella, and for many years after we were sired my sister and I thought we were the only ones in existence, but we were wrong. There are many vampires of all different cultures and races. Some cannot walk in the sun at all as it can kill them, others have special items such as rings or pendants which enable them to walk among the human race and live like one of them. Then there are others like me and my sister, who can walk in the daylight without the use of a special ring or pendant, but we do not particularly like it. My sister and I are telepathic, but I have been unable to get anything from you the whole time. The silence is rather welcoming.”
Liam explained to Bella knowing that there was probably much more he could tell her about himself, but not wanting to overload her with too much at the one time. He knew that he still had to tell her about his excessive speed and strength, although she had probably seen that for herself when he went at the other vampire before. He still had to tell her about the healing properties of his blood and the fact that he would always be cold to the touch and the obvious one, he would never age.

Bella had asked Liam to tell her about him, about what he is, which she hoped he would. Even knowing what he was now, she still didn't feel afraid. She had this urge to know him, and what he is like, and what he was like all that time ago. Soon enough, he gave her a warm smile, moving his chair over to sit next to her, and he began to tell her about himself.
All she could do was sit and be mesmerized with what he was saying to her. Bella shook her head a little, in disbelief over what he was saying. It seemed that she had no idea what was out in the world, and it was like her eyes were opening up to the possibilities for the very first time, that these creatures, people existed. At the end he had mentioned that he was telepathic along with his sister. But what he said next made her frown a little, when he said that he wasn't able to get anything from her. "Is there something wrong with me if you can't hear my thoughts?" She closed her eyes tight, and then thought of how all of what he said was a little too much. Bella opened her eyes, then looked at Liam, "Anything?"
As Bella waited for a reply, she wondered if she was different, if he was unable to hear her thoughts. But she had only ever known herself to be human, so maybe there was something special about her, if Liam couldn't tap into what she was thinking.

Bella had asked Liam to tell her about himself and so he went into quite a lengthy description about when he was sired, spoke of his sister being sired also, how his family were killed and went on to explain about different races of vampire and then went on to explain that he was telepathic but had been unable to get anything from her which he had found rather welcoming as it was peaceful and after a lifetime of having everyone’s thoughts in his head it was nice to not hear Bella’s thoughts even if he did want to hear them right at this minute wanting to know what she truly thought of him, what she truly thought of what he was.
He had noticed her frown slightly when he had said he couldn’t get anything from her and then she asked him if there was something wrong with her. Liam shook his head giving her a warm smile, “You are nothing short of perfect Bella, I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with you, I have no idea why I cannot read you.” Bella had then closed her eyes tightly and he had a feeling that she was trying to make him hear what she was thinking but he just shook his head and when she opened her eyes and asked if he had gotten anything he just continued to shake his head. “No, I got nothing Bella, but believe me when I say I find it welcoming. When you have walked this earth for the number of years I have being able to hear everyone’s thoughts around you it makes a nice change to not hear your thoughts.”
He explained and gave her a warm smile and then felt himself sigh gently just because what he had said before was true, she was really was nothing short of perfect. “There are many more things I can tell you Bella, for instance and you probably saw it for yourself, but I have excessive speed and strength, my speed is to the extent that it gives the feeling of flying, I have healing properties in my blood, I cannot heal other vampires but I can heal other humans, but it does have its downfalls, like I am always cold and I will never age. I may appear looking twenty two, but I am so very much older than that.”
Liam knew that by telling her that she may not want to know anything else about him, because who wanted a boyfriend that would always look the same and probably have to constantly move every decade or so because they should be getting older. Why would Bella want him knowing that she would grow old while he stayed remaining the same? Liam didn’t have the answers to those questions but he knew that he liked Bella a lot, and he hoped that she might just like him enough to give him a chance.
