You are Mine

Diana went out of Dr. Murphy's room and smiled to Calvin who was patiently waiting at the nurses' station. Looking at Calvin as she approach him, she can't believe she's seeing him now on a different perspective.

She stared at his cool hair, white skin, and red lips. The person whom she knew as one of her silent sanctuaries in the hospital, is nothing but a deadly creature of the night. Frightening as his true nature is, she's weirded out why Calvin remained as a good friend ever since.

"How is he?", Calvin smiled back at her as he meet her in the eye.

"Recovering. He's one tough cookie", she answered as they proceed in the elevator.

"I heard you had a riff with Miller", Calvin said as he press the elevator button open.

"Yea.. he's just being himself.", Diana said as she kept her hands in her pockets.

"An asshole", Calvin whisphered, he led Diana in and pressed 6th floor, leading to her office.

Diana tried to relax and breathe normally when suddenly Calvin held her arm as he face her. She was gasped at his sudden gesture.

"Are you afraid of me? I know you already know", Calvin whisphered.

"No, you're my friend", Diana said as she met his gaze, holding her breath in fear that he may bite her at any time.

"How sure are you I won't hurt you?", Calvin tightened his grip on Diana, she winced he deepen his fingers.

She breathe deeply before she answered. But when she opened her mouth, the elevators opened where Dr. Blackwell was already waiting.

"Dr. Woodsworth, in your office please", he said in a serious tone. He glared at Calvin seeing him grabbing Diana. Diana forced a smile to Calvin, as she followed Dr. Blackwell to her office.

As soon as she shut the door close, Dr. Blackwell grabbed a chair and sat on it, with his arms rested on his big belly. "Congratulations on your successful operation on Dr. Murphy. I heard what happened", he said.

"But..? Go on, Dr. Blackwell", she said as she sat down on one of the chairs near her mentor. Diana knows she'll get a sanction for insubordination.

"I'll have to suspend you for not following direct orders from your superior. I know you mean well Diana, but you know how protocols work", Dr. Blackwell said as he give her a half smile, feeling bad to suspend his favorite chief resident. "Would you like to say something for yourself?", he added.

"I understand, Dr. Blackwell. I know my place. The important thing for me is that Dr. Murphy lived. Suspension means more rest days for me then", Diana shrugged her shoulders as she accepted the verdict.

"You're a good doctor, Diana. You may hate it here but, Miller is the head surgeon. He calls the shots.", he frowned showing how bad he feels. Diana just nodded in approval.

"By the way, is Dr. Pearce… threatening you? Or are you guys a thing?", he suddenly asked.

"What an absurd question", Diana said. An intimate relationship between a wolf and a vampire is like shooting for the moon and the stars. Plus, he never romantically pursued her, he more like scared her.

"I guess that's a no. I'll fax over the memo for your suspension", Dr. Blackwell sighed in relief. "Take care always, Diana. And do watch your back", he tapped Diana's shoulder then went out.

Diana sighed sharply. She looked out the window and sees how confusing the weather is. The sun is brightly shining, yet the light rains are pouring. She went over her desk and started working on the case studies and patient charts.

Hours later, Diana didn't noticed it was already dark. The sandwich Kate left her this afternoon was left untouched, and her coffee have gone cold. She stretched her arms upward and massaged her neck, when she noticed someone standing by the door.

"How long have you been there?", she asked as she stood up and stretched her legs.

"Long enough", Calvin said, closing the door behind him. He moved close to Diana who's now standing by the window.

"You scared the hell out of Dr. Murphy", Diana said facing the window with her arms folded. Calvin's presence sends her bone chilling.

Dr. Murphy saw Calvin talking with another person in the fire exit and overheard them about the plans on killing Diana. Calvin disapproved, snarled and strangled the man of the same breed with one hand as he lifted him up in the air. They noticed Dr. Murphy who clearly heard and saw everything. The poor doctor was startled, ran and fell down the stairs in fear for his life. Good thing that the interns passed by the fire exit, or else he could've been dead.

"He just came at the wrong place, at the wrong time", he said, standing beside her looking at the dark cloudy night sky.

"Just like I was that night?", remembering the attack in the parking lot while waiting for Calvin.

"Hmm..", Calvin nodded and faced Diana. He held her arms and pulled her close. "Diana… I know how illogical this is.. but, I've always loved you at a distance.. I want you to know, that I won't let anything happen to you", his hazel eyes gleamed as he smiled confessing his feelings to Diana. But for Diana, she sees terror in his eyes especially when he said, "I will kill for you".

Diana flinched at his hair-raising touch, as she tried to remove his grip. He stared at her like how a lion looks at its prey. She examined his face very well. Despite Calvin is smiling showing his attractive dimples, it doesn't seem to show happiness. It's just plain and dry.

"Do you know what I am? Why do they want to kill me? And why are you protecting me? ", Diana asked Calvin one after another to confirm his recognition of her nature, and find out what he wants from her.

Calvin forcibly held Diana on the waist. Diana's heart started to beat fast, as her hands tremble in agitation.

"Despite having an unmatched nature, it never became a hindrance for me to admire you Diana", he didn't exactly confirmed if he knows she's a wolf. But Diana thought that the fact he's a vampire and associated with her mother, Calvin still can't be trusted.

"Your blood.", Diana widened her eyes hearing the exact words the vampire who attacked her said.

"It's more precious than anything in the world", Calvin added as he caressed her back trying to make her relax.

Diana breathe slowly as her parted lips tremble. Calvin then brushed her cheek with the back of his finger and placed his cold palm on her face as he tried to kiss her.

"I'm sorry, Calvin, but I don't feel the same way", Diana said as she look away.

Calvin lifted her face with his finger and said, "No, Diana." Calvin grabbed her by the shoulders tightly and said "You are mine".

Diana breathe heavily as she put her hands on Calvin's chest to push him away. "You are hurting me, Cal", she said.

At this moment, there's one person Diana can only think of, Scott. Compared to Calvin, Scott's touch and warmth are more gentle and approving, grip that never seem to let go but doesn't hurt. Scott's eyes sparkles in love at the sight of her. And most especially, when she look into Scott's eyes, she sees herself smiling genuinely, without fear or anxiety.

"Will you be honest with me?", Diana asked as she stared back to his hazel eyes.

"All the time, from now", he answered as he let her go for a while.

"What's with my blood?", she irritatingly asked.
