Nicky's POV

I stood in the corridor waiting for mum to park the car in the hospital. I couldn't smell vampire scent since the anaesthetics and hospital drugs stank up the place. I could definitely smell blood- if there was a vampire around here they would be going crazy.

I was leaning on the wall with one foot propped up watching everyone go by when mum came through the double doors in her purple scrubs.

"Ready?"

"Yes, now stick with me otherwise you might get kicked out. No scaring people off, don't ask questions and just stay quiet. Stick with the story ok?" Mum asked. I nodded my head I know all of this. She seriously drilled it into my brain in the car.

"Ok, good. Let's head to the front desk, I just need to sign in and then we'll find Carlisle,"

Paul's POV

I started pacing in the car park. The bell had rung several minutes ago and Nicky still hadn't showed up. Maybe she wasn't kidding when she said she was moving.

I growled frustrated. She couldn't move… I don't know how but I would just know if she left me. I looked around quickly when I heard footsteps behind me.

"Paul, man. You have to get to class- Mrs Harrison told me to come and get you," Jared said. It was weird seeing Jared without Kim, kind of like how it was before we both phased.

"But… Nicky,"

"Eh… dude- We can't stay out here. My mum will kill me if she finds out I skipped…"

"But what if it was Kim?"

…

Yeah, that's what I thought.

"If I'm band from seeing Kim this weekend expect to be running with three legs." Jared grumbled.

"C'mon," I called out behind me. I had already ran ahead of him and out the school gate.

"Where are we going again?" Jared asked catching up to me.

"Nicky's house." I said without thinking. I had already memorised her house by heart and knew exactly where to go.

Nicky's POV

"That's him- right there," Mum whispered quietly. I peeked over the receptionist's desk and into the open door of the opposite room. I saw the back of a doctor treating a patient, from behind all I could see was his white coat and blonde hair.

"That one?" I confirmed, he strolled gracefully around the side of the bed and played with a few machines. His arms were pale white- like a vampire.

I stood up suddenly without any warning to my mum and speed walked into the room. The patient was an elderly women who looked surprised to see me but said nothing.

I didn't care how rude I was being marching in here but hey, It's purely business.

I spun the doctor around with some strength since it was like moving a rock. (Another vampire trait) This guy is so a vamp-

When I turned him around his curious gaze almost made me want to rip out mum's hair.

I sighed aggitatered.

"It's not him," I said to mum on my way out.

"Excuse me, miss?" I heard the doctor call out.

"It's not him? But I was so sure," Mum whispered to me, trying to keep up.

"His eyes, they're not meant to be gold." I said a bit louder then I meant to. I heard the doctors footsteps pause before he rushed after me.

"Miss," I turned around at him annoyed. What a waste of time.

"I'm sorry for barging in like that but I needed to check… something." I shrugged like it was no big deal. He looked over me suspiciously before he spoke to my mum.

"Mary, may I speak with you and your daughter, privately?" He asked with so much politeness. Of course he's not a vampire. A vampire wouldn't ask there evil little shits.

"Um, sure."

He led us to an office. It doesn't take a genius to work out that it was his.

"Please take a seat," He gestured to the two chairs in front his desk.

"I don't have time for this," I complained

"Sit." Mum ordered. I rolled my eyes at her and sat down.

"Don't be mad at me- it was an honest mistake," Mum defended.

"I said there eyes change colour." I gestured to Doctor Cullen's golden eyes.

"But his do," She mumbled under her breath. I saw Doctor Cullen stiffen but I ignored him.

"Not to red." I argued.

"Sorry, but what exactly are you talking about?" Doctor Cullen interfered.

"Nothing," My mum and I said in synch. We both crossed our arms over our chest at the same and glared at each other.

"You wouldn't mind if I ask a few questions?" He asked. I looked away from his sharp golden eyes and onto all of the medical certificates nailed to the wall. It was impressive in how many he has; I wouldn't be surprised if there was more then that.

"Not at all," Mum said kindly. I scoffed at the change of attitude.

"Why is your daughter here today?"

"I want to be a nurse when I'm older so mum brought me here to show me the ropes," I said like I was reading off a script. This was our supposively great reason as to why I'm wondering down the halls in the hospital. I didn't care how false I sounded.

"Right," He said as if he didn't believe me, "Well then what was the reason for encountering me earlier?"

I hate his use of words.

"I thought you were someone else," This was true- sort of. But I couldn't say, 'I thought you weren't human,' that wouldn't go down to well, would it?

"And the conversation about the colour of my eyes?" He leaned forward in his chair. Why does it feel like I'm being interrogated by police.

Before I could open my mouth mum answer for me, "Nicky has a fascination with the colour of people's eyes." Believable, very believable- great job mum.

I looked over at the doctor who had a small frown on his face.

"How much do you know?" He asked after a few minutes of silence. I looked up at him startled.

"How much do we know of what?" Mum said with a shaky voice, she was never one for lying under pressure.

"Vampires," Carlisle whispered. My stare turned suspicious.

"How much do you know?" I turned the question around. I sat up when he looked away from my intense eyes.

"Enough to know that you're looking for a vampire," He said nonchalantly.

"Vampire's aren't real," I lied. He raised his hideously perfect eyebrows at me.

"Are you sure?" He knows I'm lying.

"We should probably be going home, thanks for your time Carlisle," Mum said standing up. Neither of us moved, we both kept giving each other suspicious glances.

"What are you?" He said finally.

"Isn't that what I should be asking you?" I retorted. Mum sighed and left the room, her paging buzzing as she walked out.

"Don't do anything stupid- both of you!" She called out behind her. She closed the door leaving Carlisle and I seated staring at each other coldly.

"You have no scent," He said mysteriously.

I shrugged, I knew that.

"You have really pale skin," I stated.

"I don't go into the sun often," I snorted. Yeah right.

"You know about vampires?" He said. I noticed he hasn't blinked- weird.

"I know a lot more than you do," I said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.

To my confusion he started chuckling. I sat there staring at him with a disgusted look on my face. Why am I even talking to this creep?

"I bet you don't," He said once he had calmed down. I couldn't tell him and give away secrets so I decided to show him as best as I could.

"Do you know what this is?" I said holding out my necklace. I took it off and tossed it to him. He easily caught it and inspected it.

"Is this what I think it is?" He said marvelling at it.

I nodded to confirm his suspicion.

"Where did you get this?" He said gesturing towards the tooth.

"From a blood-suckers jaw- duh!" I said with a smirk. I kind of want to freak him out. He might probably thinks I'm insane.

"You… you got this vampire tooth? You pulled this out of a real vampire's mouth?" He asked stunned.

"Well I killed him first of course," I shrugged as if it were no big deal. Apparently it was bigger then I thought because carlisles mouth dropped open.

"But- but you're… you're human," He whispered. His calm façade disappearing. It was like he was another person.

"That's what you think," I cooed with a small smile. This is too fun.

"Are you… a werewolf?" He said giving me the once over. I almost gagged. A were-wolf?

"That's insulting,"

"Oh sorry, I mean a shape-shifter," He said with sincerity. He's got to joking. There is no such thing. He must be playing with me.

"I'm not joking about this." I said offended.

"Neither am I," He defended with his arms in surrender at my sudden outburst.

I rolled my eyes, "you know what, forget it," I mumbled standing up. I walked to the door but in a flash Carlisle was in front of me. How did he do that?

"What-"

He cut me off with his hand.

"I'm a vampire," He said seriously.

"I'm a mermaid," I shot back. I know he won't believe me so I was allowed to use that for my advantage.

"I'm not kidding, my whole family is," I rolled my eyes again and tried to move around him but he stood in front of me blocking off my exit.

"We have golden eyes because we drink the blood of animals,"

"Aha,"

"Seriously. We don't want to be monsters; we don't want to hurt humans,"

"Then how do you stand to work in a hospital- do you suck your patients dry?" I injected.

"No, most of my family is controlled that we can live a normal life. We don't mean anyone harm,"

"You're serious about this aren't you?" I inquired. Stepping back a few steps I took a look at him fully. As much as I hate to admit he was beautiful- his flawless pale skin, his silky blonde hair, his stance seemed casual yet graceful. It was just his eyes- I was so sure vampires had red eyes when they had quenched their thirst and black eyes when they were thirsty. This goes against everything I have ever believed in.

"Dead serious"
