He watched her run into the cave where he had been living and grinned. He knew there was only one way out and he would make sure she couldn't get back out of it.

He went into the cave and moved the boulder to block the only exit.

Riley: Come out, come out, wherever you are.

She heard him as she bit her lip so she wouldn't make any nosies or anything.. She hid in the darkness trying to not be seen.

He listened for her heart beat and smiled when he was able to pinpoint it. He headed toward her and stopped directly infront of her.

Riley: I don't want to hurt you. I just want to have some fun.

Dixie looked at him scared, she knew he could see her and she didn't know what to do, she moved running towards where she came in.... She tried to move the bolder, but it couldn't as she was freaked out.

He watched her run and grinned. He slowly walked toward her like an animal stalking it's prey.

Riley: You can't escape me, Dixie.

Dixie turned around looking at him.

Dixie: Please just let me out...

He shrugged.

Riley: Maybe when I'm finished playing with you.

He farted and grinned.

Riley: Reving up the engine.

Dixie looked at him scared.

Dixie: Please just leave me alone.

He reached out and took her hand in his.

Riley: Come. I won't hurt you. I promise.

Dixie didn't move as she looked at him as she didn't trust him at all.  

He pulled her with him.

Riley: Come on. I want to show you something.

She gasped as he pulled her with him as hse didn't have any choice as she followed not sure what to think of anything...

He led her to the little underground spring in the back.

Riley: It's warm. We can swim.

She looked at him.

Dixie: I'm not dressed to swim..

She said hoping he'd just let her go.

He rolled his eyes.

Riley: Then get undressed. It's really not that hard.

Dixie looked at him shocked when he said that as hse gasped, holding her close to her.

Dixie: I don't think so.

He sighed wathing her.

Riley: Then swim with your clothes on, or don't swim. It makes no difference to me.

She looked at him.

Dixie: I don't want to swim......

He shrugged.

Riley: Then don't.

He looked at the food he had stockpiled.

Riley: Are you hungry?

She shook her head.

Dixie: I just want to go home.

She said honestly.

He nodded.

Riley: Later.

She just nodded as hse looked at him , not wanting to upset him as she just sat there watching him a bit.

He fixed her a sandwich and handed it to her.

Riley: I promise it is safe to eat.

She took it as she looked at him a moment, then down at the ground.

Dixie: Thank you.

He looked at her thinking.

Riley: I'm Riley.

She looked at him when he said that.

Dixie: I... I'm Dixie.

He nodded.

Riley: I know. I have been watching you for awhile now.

She looked at him a bit shocked when he said that..

Dixie: Oh... Why?

He smiled watching her.

Riley: You intrigue me.

She looked a bit confused as she looked at him..

Dixe: There isnt' anything all that interesting about me..

He shrugged.

Riley: You may think not, but I think otherwise.

She looked at him as she wa sthinking about things.

Dixie: Are you going to kill me?..

He shook his head.

Riley: I promise that I wouldn't hurt you and I won't.

She bit her bottom lip as she was thinking about it a bit..

Dixie: What do you plan on doing?..

He pointed to her sandwich.

Riley: Watch you eat.

She looked at him.

Dixie: I'm not very hungry... sorry

She said as she was really too scared to eat.

He took the sandwich from her and wrapped it for later.

Riley: Then will you just talk to me. I enjoy your voice.

She just nodded as she looked at him as hse was thinking about everything.

Dixie: Alright.

She said not sure what else to say.

He moved to set infront of her.

Riley: Tell me about yourself.

She thought about what to say for a moment.

Dixie: I'm from a large family, but don't really have contact with them.. I live in the local church, have for nearly all my life..

She said as she thought about it.

Dixie: I"m 23, and haven't really done much in my life.

He listened to her thinking about everything she said.

Riley: Why do you live at the church?

She thought about it.

Dixie: I was given up as a small child and the churh took me in..

He frowned thinking about that.

Riley: Why would your parents give you up?

She shrugged as she was thinking about it.

Dixie: I dont' know.

She said honestly.

He reached out and took her hand in his.

Riley: I would never give you away.

She looked at him when he said that.

Dixie: You might, you don't really know me all that well.

He smiled softly at her.

Riley: I have been watching you for awhile. I haven't seen anything that would make me want to get rid of you.

She looked at him when he said that.

Dixie: I probably should get back to the church... Its really getting late.

He nodded and stood up.

Riley: I will take you back. I would like to see you again if you don't mind.

She looked at him thinking about it.

Dixie: You should at least meet my fiance first. to make sure its alright with him.

She said as hse didn't really know her fiance, but didn't want to upset him or anything.

He nodded.

Riley: I have already. He has no problem with us talking.

She looked at him when he said that.

{Dixie} Is he nice?

She asked as she hadn't seen him yet.

He nodded.

Riley: I think he is. You should be happy with him.

She nodded as she was glad to hear that at least... It would make things easier.

Dixie: Good.

He smiled not telling her that he was the one she was to marry.

Riley: Would you like me to take you home now?

She looked at him as she nodded her head.

Dixie: Yes please.

He moved the boulder and smiled. He held his hand out to her.

Riley: Ready to go?

She nodded as she looked at him

Dixie: yes

She said taking his hand.

He walked home with her talking.

Riley: Are you still afraid of me?

She nodded as she was being honest with him, even though he was really nice to him, she still knew what he could do, and how he was when he had been chasing her..

Dixie: Yes.

He nodded not upset about it.

Riley: Maybe in time you will see that I won't hurt you. You are safe with me.

She nodded as she walked with him as she was thinking about it.

Dixie: Yes, maybe in time.

He smiled and turned toward her when they got to the church.

Riley: You are home. I will see you soon.

She smiled as she looked at him.

Dixie: Thank you, see you later.

She said as she walked into the chuch looking back a moment at him as he was leaving.

He made sure she was safely inside before leaving. He had to meet someone about a house. He didn't want his new bride to live in a cave.

She got in and was attacked from the start, she was hit hard over the head as she fell to the ground, bleeding..which the scent carried to Riley as he came rushing back, but found that she was gone.

He could smell her blood. He followed the smell until he caught up to them. He stalked them and grinned when they finally put her down. He waited until they were distracted and swooped in grabbing her. He took off with her taking her back to the cave.

She had lost a lot of blood, as they were planning on killing her anyways, just wanting what was left of her blood, knowing it had some kind of powers anyways..

He frowned when he wasn't able to get the bleeding stopped. He lifted her in his arms and ran to the one house he knew may be able to help them.

Riley: Carlisle, please help her.

Carlise did the best that he could, but when he heard her heart starting to slow, he knew it was only a matter of time, before it stopped..

Carlise: She's dieing... I can't save her life..

He said.

He looked at Carlisle.

Riley: Change her. Please. I can't lose her.

He looked at Daisy, as he usually gave them the choice, but she wasnt' awake to do it as he could see how much Reily loved her as he nodded his head, bitting her and injecting her , enough to change her as he then backed off, to let it happen.

Riley held her hand not wanting to let her go. He sat waiting and waiting and refusing to leave her side.

The pain hit her fast and hard, but she didn't show it... She was able to hold it, pretty good, and after a few days, she was changed, she opened her eyes, as she didn't move for a moent just looking around some, not sure what to think...

Riley saw her open her eyes and smiled softly.

Riley: Dixie...

She moved a bit as she looked at him, she wasn't sure what happened but she did feel different..

{Dixie}What...What happened?

He explained to her about the attack and him bringing her to Carlisle for help.

She sat there taking in everything that he was telling her as hse was shocked she didn't know what to say or thing, as she just nodded her head a bit after a moment, as he was a bit worried about her reaction as she was just too stunned to move.

He looked at her worried.

Riley: Are you okay?
