It had been just the same as every other night on the Boardwalk, almost always the same crowd of teens passed by him and the other boys as they walked down the boardwalk—he felt like he had already seen everyone there, his dark eyes never catching a glance at someone new, until now.

He had seen her at one of the concession stands getting cotton candy, her eyes never met his but that definitely didn’t stop him from staring at her anyways—she had to have been new to Santa Carla, he had never seen her on the boardwalk until today and someone as pretty as her would have definitely caught his eye like a sparkling diamond.

“I’ll be back.”

Dwayne spoke up, barely even glancing in the direction of his brothers as he just left them on their own- he had his attention set on something more important than them right now, like that beautiful girl who he needed to know the name of. He had seen a lot of beautiful people, he was a vampire so of course he had been around for more than enough time to lay his eyes on a beautiful girl but she was different.

So different.

“What’s your name, sweetheart? I’m Dwayne.”

The Vampire introduced himself, him extending his hand for her to take- almost like a handshake was a peace offering that he didn’t want any trouble and was just introducing himself—he was charming, that much had been a fact proven time and time again over the many, many years of his life. If he wanted something then he would get it, he wanted to get to know her and he was going to make that happen.

He just had to take all of that slowly though.
