Sorry Jaci."
I sit back down next to him and place my head against the wall behind us.
"I tried to fight it. I tried to fight it so hard but he is like a magnet. Something just pulls me to him. Can this be right? How are a shape shifter and a vampire supposed to be together?"
Now Daniel places his strong arm around my shoulders. "The same way you've been doing it these past few days. He can adapt to your schedule, he's been out with you to feed, and I hate to say but I don't think you even need me anymore."
Daniel gives a half smile as I lay my head on his shoulder.
"I couldn't have done any of this without you Daniel. I owe you everything."
He lifts up , making me go with him then as we are standing he pulls me into a big bear hug.
"I know Jaci. If you want to help me then you can help me with Iris."
I don't even try to hide the smile that I feel spread across my face.
"Sure Daniel. Anything."
Just as we let go of each other I look up to see Iris's shocked face standing in her doorway.
"Iris!"
It is clear as day that she just heard every word we just said to each other! Oh God how is she going to react? Daniel rushes to her side.
"I can explain. I can explain everything."
Iris backs up with her hand on her head like she has a headache.
"You want to turn me into the same monster that put me here?"
I can tell how much that kills Daniel just to hear.
"Iris, do you think I am a monster? I am the same as JR but I don't harm people. I would rather die than bring harm to an innocent person. Especially to you. I love you."
I see Iris's beautiful green eyes look over at me.
"Are you the same?"
I nod as she backs up farther into her room. Daniel and I follow her in then close the door behind us.
"I knew you all were different. I knew you were like JR. I knew it when you saved me. No , I do not feel as though YOU are a monster. But what if you change me and I turn into JR?"
Daniel sits down next to her.
"It doesn't happen like that. You will still be you. You will still have your same personality, same beliefs, same beautiful smile; you will just be immortal and have to live off others’ blood supply."
Iris is taking this better than I thought she would. She must have realized what they were when they saved her.
"I cannot bite people."
I sit down next to Daniel and take her hand into mine. "Iris, I didn't think I could either and I'm not going to lie to you , it isn't pleasant, but you’re not hurting them when you do it. We will teach you everything you need to know. We will all be here with you. That is if you decide to change. This is a huge decision, Iris. You are deciding to leave your human life behind. I didn't have a choice; I want to make sure you do."
Iris looks up at me then looks again at Daniel. I can see the questions in her emerald eyes but I can also see the love she has for Daniel in them as well.
"Something drew me to Daniel as soon as he picked me up off of the floor at that awful house. My heart was his as soon as I looked into his eyes. I can't explain it at all. But if he loves me as well then I want to be with Daniel."
The smile on Daniel's face is undeniable. He is ecstatic that Iris wants to be with him. However, I am still worried.
"Are you sure about this Iris?"
She finally peels her eyes away from Daniel.
"I heard both of you in the hall. This is the only way to be with Daniel , plus I'm starting to feel like myself again. All of you are going to be worried about keeping me safe. If I am a vampire you won't have to worry."
I am still unsure.
"Don't do anything yet okay? Let’s talk to everyone else first, maybe get some input. I know it wasn't easy for me but whatever those meds were that Michael gave me helped. She shouldn't have to suffer if she doesn't have to." Daniel and Iris both nod in agreement.
"Okay. I'm going to leave you two alone for a few minutes while I go downstairs and meet with the guys. I'll be back."
I walk out of the door not knowing how Avalon,
