A Vampire Could Never Love A Fairy

Ruby gaped at Dorian, unable to even begin to tell him how stupid he was. There were different levels of caring about someone. Clearly this vampire knew nothing about friendship.

As she stood there twisted like some sort of strange piece of modern art, she tried to formulate the right response but the words wouldn't come. She did only think of Ash as a friend, didn't she? So why was her heart beating erratically at the suggestion that she was in love with him?

A wicked grin spread across Dorian's face. "So you are. Fascinating! A fairy in love with a vampire. Can you even imagine?"

The last part was directed at the couple dozen vampires who were currently standing by watching the show. They all reacted about the same, either with disgusted or disbelieving expressions or by laughing and jeering.
