As he was eating his snack, I packed up his clothing. Abel started to cry 

when he realized it wouldn’t just be for a night.

 “Please Sissy don’t make me leave?”

 Leaning down I pulled him into a tight embrace.

 “This is hard for me as well. Right now it is not safe around me. I’ve signed

 all the papers allowing Gabe and his wife to be your guardians. This isn’t

 forever just for a while.”

 Abel burrowed his face into my chest clinging onto me for dear life. Gabe 

walked into the door with a heavy expression. 

“Come on little one. We’ll see Katerina again soon I promise.”

 Holding back my tears I force Abel to let go. He kept kicking, screaming, and

crying at me. It was so hard to watch Gabe place him into the car. In the 

distance I could see Samuel was surprised he was being taken away. You

 wanted to be surprised now you asshole. This was all your fault that I needed

 to send Abel away. Tears started to fall down my cheeks once they drove off.

 Going back into the house I just fell to my knee’s balling.

Samuel approached the house. He could hear Katerina on the other side of

 the front door. Her sobbing wasn’t stopping anytime soon. Rubbing his 

forehead he lets out a sigh.

 “Damn it.”

 Samuel forces the door open to see her just sitting there. Leaning down he 

gets punched in the face. Admittedly it was well deserved but still was 

annoying. He wraps Katerina into his arms tightly letting her cry. She beats

 on his chest hitting him a few more times in the face. It was a good thing not

 to be human otherwise bones would have been broken.

 “Look would you stop hitting me now?”

 He waited for any kind of response but got none. Katerina had cried herself 

to sleep. Samuel picked her up just holding her tightly to his chest.

 “Someone as tough as you actually breaks down from time to time.”

 He walks through the house finding her room. As laying her down on the bed

 Katerina clung onto his shirt.

 “You're going to regret not letting go when you wake little one.”

 He laughs a little to himself laying down next to her. She moved her body

 into his just cuddling while crying in her sleep.

In the morning the light shined brightly into the room. Slowly I opened my 

eyes to see a sleeping Samuel. Stunned I don’t dare to even move. I watched 

as his chest moved up and down from breathing. I remember hitting him so 

much my hands actually hurt today. Don’t tell me I fell asleep on this asshole?

 If that was the case why didn’t he just lay me down then leave? Oh my god I 

actually grabbed him in my sleep. In my head I was beating the hell out of 

myself. Out of all the people in the world you had to grab Samuel while 

sleeping. Looking at him sleeping I could see his black phoenix tattoo more

 closely. The phoenix almost seemed alive. Trying not to wake him I leaned up

 just a little. Sadly my curiosity got the better of me. Once closer I could see 

the phoenix had demon horns. I froze when Samuel wrapped his arms 

around my body rolling. Even though I was freaking out he seemed to still be

 sleeping. His warm breath was caressing my neck. It was more than I wanted

 to deal with but he was too heavy for me to move without waking.

Looking closer he had several small scars over his face. They reminded me of 

the scars left from a knife cutting the skin. Trying to move my neck away 

from his face was harder than I thought. While trying to gently move his back

 was slightly visible. There was a huge scar, it was like a sword or something 

else cut down the entire thing. Even if I wanted this man to vanish from my 

life that was cruel. Whoever did this to him must have wanted to make him

 truly suffer. Right as I was about to speak his face moved closer to my neck. 

His lips touched the soft skin of my neck. Was he still sleeping? If there was a 

god please let this be him sleeping.

 “Samuel...wake up.”

 His lips were sending tingles down my entire body. Damn it asshole wake up 

already! I tried pushing him slightly now seeing if it would help. Sadly it didn’t

 help any as his teeth sank into my neck. It hurt as I felt fangs in my neck. 

Wait did I really feel actual fangs from Samuel? This was already a fucked up 

scenario but now fangs.

Hitting him hard I felt his grip around my body tighten. He wasn’t letting up 

with my neck or body. The spot he bit into was starting to burn badly.

“WAKE UP! Seriously would you please wake up?”

 One of his hands slid under my shirt in the back. My eyes open wide  in

 fear of what he was trying to do. Samuel in his sleep let his nails grow 

clawing down Katerina’s back.

 “SAMUEL!”

 I tried my hardest not to cry from the burning sensation on my back now as

 well. The only thing I could think of left was to hit him where it counts. 

Taking a deep breathe I use all the force in my leg to knee him in the dick.

 Suddenly he lets go rolling over. Quickly I run to the other side of the room 

just holding my neck. Blood was trickling down from the bite wound. I held 

my hand onto it trying to stop the bleeding. Samuel sits up with his 

eyes blood red just glaring over to Katerina.

 “Holy shit what are you? Your eyes...they are red.”

 Samuel stands up walking over towards me. Instinctively I bolted for the

 door. He moved so fast I didn’t get a chance to even blink. Standing before 

me he’d already grabbed my arm.

There is no way he was human. Is this what the other clan leader meant 

when he told me not to dabble into their world? Samuel pulled me over

 lifting me slightly off the ground. His eyes were still blood red. He lent to

 my neck licking some of the blood off.

 “Guess I was a little too comfortable while sleeping with you.”

 Huh...that was comfortable?

 “Let me go you bastard!” 

I tried to kick him again but he caught my leg. 

 “Stop being so rough or else I might not be so nice this time.”

 Fear was rising in my very core. He let go of my arm turning me so my back

 was facing him. I cringe as he lifted the shirt from my back. The burning 

sensation hadn’t subsided. Closing my eyes I feel his tongue press against the

 wounds. Slowly he licked across each one not leaving any spot un-licked. 

“Put me down now!”

 Samuel lets out a sigh turning me to face him once more. His eyes were back

 to his dark brown which still didn’t make me feel better.

Samuel let me down just walking from the room. Quickly I grabbed a knife 

from the kitchen. 

“I don’t want to see you ever again!”

 He turns back looking at the knife in my hand.

 “You really don’t have a choice in this matter. What are you going to do?

 You don’t even know yourself kid. Let alone trying to order me around.”

 He lets out a sigh just turning towards the door. Samuel leaves my house as I

 just stand there frozen still from fear. Were demons and angels real? Did that

 make him a demon? What did he mean I didn’t even know myself?
