An EXCLUSIVE excerpt from my new story :)

This is the new exclusive exerpt because I wanna post but nothing has been going on except that I'm going to camp next week!
So, enjoy!
I turned to my prey, who was getting to her feet. She stood with her hands on her hips, defiantly gazing at me. I noticed she had sharp, calculating green eyes.
“Well?” she asked, her tone scathing and clear. “Aren’t you going to kill me?”
I raised my eyebrows. “Aren’t you going to run away?”
She narrowed her eyes. “Touché.” I smiled.
“So, are you going to kill me?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know. I guess not.”
“Why not?”
“Look, a normal person wouldn’t be questioning a vampire’s choice not to end their life. What if I change my mind?” I said.
“I’m curious.”
“Curiosity killed the cat. Or the human.”
“Well, if I’m going to die, then I want to have all the answers,” the girl replied, shaking out her hair. The scent floated over to me: Strawberry-kiwi shampoo with a cinnamon conditioner. Interesting.
“I suppose I could grant you that. I’m intrigued by you,” I admitted. She was tall and her red hair descended to her waist. It was slightly curly and she was fair-skinned with freckles. She narrowed her eyes.
I glanced up at the clouds; they were thinning. The sun would be out any minute. I sighed. “Look, do you wanna come back to my . . .”
“Lair?”
“Sure.”
“Is a vampire asking me on a date? Or are you just going to kill me there?”
I rolled my eyes. “Either, both or neither. I haven’t decided yet.”
