Dear Diary
I just did my first live webcast which was exciting yet terrifying all at the same time. I can't believe I said moneyshot which turned me into a news whore overnight. I just love it when I'm first on scene and having the stragglers arrive late allowed m to sneak a peek at that poor girl's body. I really need to use something with vampire in it because those looked like bite marks on the neck.
That guy I met looked so familiar. I would swear I met him before. I wonder why he just up and disappeared like that. He's fast and quiet. I like the title Vampire Slaying Rocks LA. That was odd. He said he wasn't a cop so maybe he's a reporter or something because I know I've seem him somewhere even though he said we'd never met. I need a nap before doing some more looking around and maybe something to eat.
Entry Two
Dear Diary
I ran into that guy again wen I was looking around Kelly Foster's place. It was gotharama there so she must have been really into vampires. It turns out that guy Mick is a PI which explains him showing up. He's Mr Cryptic and he just disappeared again. I really wish he'd stop doing that. I wonder what he did with that vial of blood. He thinks the blood belongs to the Professor of Darkness.
Kelly was involved in some kind of a blood cult. I hope Josh gets back soon and remembers to pick up some takeout. I need to go shopping tomorrow but I just feel like staying in tonight. So no more talk of vampires for the rest of the evening. Maybe we could just curl up on the couch with a movie.
Entry Three
Dear Diary
I ran into Mick again at Kelly's funeral. Sometimes a girl needs to be bossy especially with some killer on the loose. Since we're both covering the same case we might as well work together There is just something about him that I can't put my finger on. I wonder if I'll ever figure it out unless it's just because he has one of those faces like he keeps insisting but I'm not so sure about that.
This is such an odd story complete with vampires and blood drinking. I just don't get why anyone would want to drink blood. The teacher thinks he's a vampire so I went to his class to find out more about this guy. It was all I could do to not laugh with him saying that we are all vampires. I managed to wrangle an invite to his study group which should be interesting.
Entry Four
Dear Diary
So Mick was right about the blood being the Professor's. I wonder how he knew that. He must have a source in the police department but he wouldn't admit it. Chloe's edgy and both girls were sleeping with the professor. I wonder who his source is but he's keeping his mouth closed about it. I asked Mick to check into Chloe since she seems to have anger issues but I don't think she's the killer.
There's just something about Mick. He just looks so familiar but he keeps saying that he just has one of those faces. I don't know what it is but I have a story to do. I'm going to the study group later and I'll be wearing a wire just in case I get something juicy. I know it won't be boring because that Professor is creepy but it could be the fact that he's sleeping with his students or maybe he's the killer so either way I'm going to find out what's going on.
Entry Five
Dear Diary
It turned out that the Professor was just a sleaze finding new conquests among his students. I nearly became another victim but Mick saved me. I must be confused after bumping my head because I could have sworn I remembered Mic saving me when I was a little girl and taken but that's just impossible. It couldn't have been him.
I don't know why I thought that because he's too young but I just feel so safe when I'm with him. I don't know why I feel such a strong connection with him but I do. We've only just met but it's almost like we've known each other for years. So I was wrong about him being stabbed. I thought I saw it but I was drugged at the time so I was mistaken but it just seemed so real.
Entry Six
Dear Diary
I had a nightmare about that scary woman that took me as a little girl. Mick was there and he saved me. Josh thinks it's my subconscious trying to process things. He's probably right because Mick wasn't the one that saved me back then I just wish I could remember his face.
I was able to interview a good friend of mine Julia. We got over two million hits tonight. I finally got a copy of Wronged Man so now I'll be able to read this fascinating story. Julia just gushes about how wonderful he is. This is such a great human interest story.
That was so weird how there was a Mick St John back then that looks exactly like Mick but it can't be him. It's so strange because the man in the picture could be his twin. I need to pick something up for him since he saved my life. I've been wracking my brain about it and have decided to get Single Malt like Josh suggested. I'm going to ask him about this Mick since they have to be related.
Entry Seven
Dear Diary
Well that was an interesting party. I didn't expect to see Mick there. It turns out that the man in the photo was Mick's father. There was something odd going on between Lee Jay and Mick. It could be seeing him looking exactly like the man who was out to put him in jail all those years ago since the resemblance is amazing. If it wasn't impossible I'd say it was the same man. He believes like his father that Lee Jay is guilty. He gave me the police file. I wonder how he got his hands on it. I'm curious about his source.
It doesn't make sense that he'd attack Lee Jay in public. Mick said he didn't touch him and I think I believe him. I figured it couldn't hurt to look through the file and it looks pretty bad. My friend's involved with this guy so I want to make sure he isn't some killer. Mick could be right and for my friend's sake I have to make sure.
I couldn't even find out about Mick's father since he wasn't a cop or a PI. Mick is hiding something and I couldn't find out anything about his father. Maybe I can find out something from Bobby Desmond who was Lee Jay's arresting officer. There has to be some reason that Mick's so obsessed with this case. The file is pretty compelling.
Entry Eight
Dear Diary
I'm trying trying to process what happened. Julia is safe which is such a relief. So I wasn't the girl that stayed in the car. I couldn't just sit out there after hearing gunshots and heard Julia screaming. I ended up shooting Lee Jay just as he was about to set Mick on fire. I just feel so awful for Julia because she really cared about him and believed that he was an innocent man.
Mick ran off again. He keeps doing that. I had to go see him. I knew he was hiding something but I never imagined something like this. It sounds crazy even now after he admitted and I saw him. He told me that he's a vampire. Am I going crazy or did I just imagine that part? It's hard to wrap my head around it. I just keep dreaming about him.
Entry Nine
Dear Diary
It turns out that I didn't imagine things. Mick really is a vampire and some of them are living here in LA. I went into reporter mode because I'm just so very curious to learn more. I can understand why he'd want me to not say anything like I would. I wouldn't go around talking about vampires because people would think I'm nuts which would just land me in a padded cell.
Since I'm a reporter I did some research and ok maybe Josh is right I'm a little obsessed but this is what I do. It's still strange to wrap my head around the whole vampires are real thing but I can't deny what I've seen with my own two eyes. I need to know what I'm dealing with. I can't just pretend that vampires don't exist.
Wow Mick's going to be 80 which is wild. I refuse to wait in the car after all it didn't work out so well last time. I was so scared when I saw Mick. I thought he was dead. I had to pull it out which was so gross. I guess stakes are going to be a part of my life but I hope this doesn't happen too often since I really thought I was going to hurl when I pulled it out.
So Mick had a wife but that seemed to be a sore subject so I didn't push him on it. I'm just full of questions so he'll be the one I'll ask since he's the only vampire I know. The rogue vampire's dead. That's so sad that he killed his wife. They looked happy in that picture. I wonder if Mick will ever tell me how he became a vampire. It must be hard for him to trust people.
Entry Ten
Dear Diary
That was awkward to have Josh and Mick n the same room. I was still a little weirded out by what Mick told me the last time I saw him. I'm think I'm getting comfortable with the v word strangely enough. Life has really gotten weird. We do make a good team though. It was odd to hear Josh say the same thing about me and him after I said it to Mick.
I'm so glad that Mick's alive. I know I haven't known him long but I feel a really strong connection with him. When I thought he was dead I felt like my heart was pulled out of my chest. I was scared but I knew I could trust him. I had to lie to Josh about how I was injured since I couldn't tell him that my friend the vampire needed to feed on me otherwise he'd die. I feel bad about it but I had no choice.
Entry Eleven
Dear Diary
I ran into Mick at the hospital. He hasn't been returning my calls. It was strange being there with Josh when I saw Mick for the first time after I fed him. He thought we were getting married when I told him I was there for a blood test. I love Josh but I'm not ready to get married. We don't even live together and marriage is an even bigger step that I'm just not ready to take yet.
Since it's our anniversary I'm looking for recipes to see if I can find something special to serve. Josh will probably end up cooking. We're having some friends over. It was a little strange when Josh invited Mick but it was sweet of him since he didn't have a good first impression of Mick.
Entry Twelve
Dear Diary
I'm glad I ran into Mick because he's been avoiding me and dodging my calls. It's funny how we both ended up seeing each other at the morgue working on the same case only at opposite ends. I met two of Mick's friends that I think are vampires. It isn't easy to tell because they're not wearing badges. OMG I kissed him. Why did I do that?
That would suck to be a teenage vampire. Mick was vague about sex between humans and vampires. I do admit that I'm curious abut it. I'd imagine being sixteen permanently would drive anyone insane. I know I wouldn't want that. Mick took care of things. I wonder if it's strange for him to kill his own kind except for the whole not being a serial killer thing.
Entry Thirteen
Dear Diary
My fluff piece turned to corpse piece in the blink of an eye. Sounds like a story after finding that Renee makes the third OD in two weeks from some mystery drug. I'm betting this Club Valance has something to do with these deaths so I decided to go to that club to see what I could find out.
So I went to the club and got in. I have to find out how to get up to the VIP room. I can just tell that there's a story here and I can get justice for the other victims of this mystery drug and make sure there aren't any more. I'll need to go back when I figure out what I need to do. I should go to the morgue to see if there's anything on her body. I wonder what the guy will ask for next.
Entry Fourteen
Dear Diary
I just couldn't resit taking some of that Black Crystal. Lola was right I have wondered about what it's like to be a vampire. I kept hearing what Lola was saying so I just had to see it for myself. It was amazing. I felt invincible. So I got a taste of what vampires feel like all the time.
What a night I woke up on Mick's couch. I can't believe I wore that dress. I'm glad I straightened things out with Josh. I didn't want to embarrass him but I'm a reporter He's just been stressed about this case so I'll overlook him trying to demand that I not go after a story. At least Lola's been taken care of so there won't be any more deaths. I kept the Black Crystal I have left.
Entry Fifteen
Dear Diary
I'm so sick of fashion shows and restaurants. I'll write a piece about the fire since it's a landmark. I keep forgetting how old Mick is. He told me that he used to go to the Franklin with his family back in the twenties. I bet he was an adorable little boy. I wonder if he'd help me with my story after all he was there so he must have some stories he could share with me.
Mick was a little weird around Morgan. I wonder if he's attracted to her. I would imagine vampires date but he doesn't seem to want to get involved with a human. I guess she might have reminded him of someone. I wonder who. Ok what am I doing obsessing over this. This is none of my business.
Some guy broke into Morgan's place so I brought her to see Mick. It was so strange. He kept staring at her. I don't know what was going on. Maybe I'm imagining things. It was pretty intense seeing a murder caught on film like that. I probably need some sleep which could be the reason for my mind wondering about things that I shouldn't wonder about.
Entry Sixteen
Dear Diary
What a night. That mass murderer was executed. Poor Audrey is understandable a wreck. I had her come home with me. She's very brave for testifying at that trial that put Donovan away and she was only a little girl at the time. The poor thing looks like she hasn't had a decent night's sleep in years. I made her some tea and she finally fell asleep. What a horrible thing to go through. The world is a better place without that monster.
I couldn't help but think that I could have ended up like her after I was taken when I was little. I'm glad I had her stay over. She shouldn't be alone and I didn't want to be along after seeing that. She had a scare with someone calling her and someone was standing outside. I'll see if I can get some sleep and take her to see Mick later. Josh is gone again and I really wish he was here right now.
Entry Seventeen
Dear Diary
I know who my Guardian Angel is now. It was Mick. I couldn't resist going into his office which is where I found pictures of me. No wonder I always felt safe since he was always there watching over me. I guess I'd been suspecting it since there was just this connection from the very first so that would explain it.
I always wondered about how different things could have been. I could have been like Audrey. I hoe that she finally finds closure once and for all. Of course I didn't tell her exactly what happened but he won't bother her anymore. Talk about stupid turning a serial killer into vampire. I guess my vampire slaying skills need some work not that I want to come face to face with some psycho serial killer turned vampire.
Entry Eighteen
Dear Diary
I know who my Guardian Angel is now. It was Mick. I couldn't resist going into his office and I found a file my name on it. There were pictures of me. No wonder I always felt safe since he was watching over me. Oddly enough I'm not mad about it even though in a way it's almost like he's been stalking me my whole life. I just don't think of it that way.
I always wondered about how things could have been different. I could have been like Audrey. I hope that she finds closure at least with him finally dead. Talk about stupid turning a serial killer into a vampire. I guess my vampire slaying skills need some work. That guy was so creepy so I just don't get the hold he has over people.
Entry Nineteen
Dear Diary
I know that Morgan's story checked out on the surface but I need to be 100% sure. I need to dig deeper since this could be Coraline reinvented a Morgan. There has to be something that she's forgotten. I need to get into her place to see if I can find something so I know once and for all who this woman is.
I'll have Mick occupy her so I can look around. Sure she might turn out to be who she claims to be but there's a chance that she isn't. just can't keep wondering since I need to know once and for all. I need to find out the truth about that night and why I was taken. This might be a way for me to finally put it behind me.
Entry Twenty
Dear Diary
Who knew that an old boyfriend would teach me something would come in handy. I got into Morgan's place but it was a close call when her and Mick came back. She has an amazing collection of shoes. I'm so in the wrong line of work.
I found a picture of Mick from 1952 when he was human. I didn't know he was a musician but he doesn't really talk about his past. So I now know the truth about Morgan. The bitch is Coraline.
I went to see Josef about Mick. He's an interesting guy. I went to Coraline's house to finally face this nightmare head on. She's been stalking me and Mick. I guess I'll never get all of the questions answered.
Josef could be right about me being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was like going back in time when I found that room. There's only one thing to do about this. I thought it would be fitting to use a piece of the chair from the room she kept me in. Now I want to stake the bitch. I'm going to head over to Mick's to have him help me find her.
Entry Twenty-One
Dear Diary
I thought Coraline was a vampire. Now she's in the hospital because of me since I staked her without even thinking and Mick's chance to become human could go down the drain. I feel terrible about that. She's somehow become human again. Mick kept quiet about what I did.
I wasn't thinking obviously. It just didn't seem possible that she wasn't a vampire. This is such a strange situation. I hope I catch a good story to focus my attention on. I can't do anything about Coraline. I hope for Mick's sake that she doesn't die. I would hate to be the reason he couldn't become human again.
Entry Twenty-Two
Dear Diary
It turns out that Josef isn't dead after all. Mick was really broken up about it. I can't help but wonder how Josef survived. This would make a great story but of course I can't say anything with this guy out to get Josef. But once the danger is past I'm sure this will make a great story but sadly I have to leave out details like Josef being a vampire.
I can't believe Maureen told me that viewers think I'm harsh. I'm a reporter not a cruise director. I do my job and I do it well. Should I try smiling more? I wish she hadn't told me. I have more important things to do instead of worrying about viewers that think I'm too harsh.
Entry Twenty-Three
Dear Diary
I was a little tempted to stay in New York with Mick but I couldn't because I needed to try to make things right with Josh. Seeing how Josef lost Sara made me think about how it would feel to lose Josh. We talked but of course I couldn't shake what happened in New York. I have to keep a part of myself hidden from me and I can't help but wonder if he senses that.
I had no idea that something could go wrong when someone was turned into a vampire. That could have happened to Mick and who knows what could have happened to me. Would I still have been taken if Mick wasn't around to rescue me? It's so sad because it is obvious that Sara loved Josef very much. A loved one can slip so easily through your fingers.
Entry Twenty-Four
Dear Diary
It means a lot to me that Josh was willing to throw away a case that he's been working on for the past two years. I couldn't let him do that. This guy is a killer so he'd just go on to kill someones daughter, or sister, or wife. I couldn't stand for that to happen.
I totally spaced on meeting Mick because of the death threat and all. One good thing that came out of this is clearing the air with Josh. I've been really focused on my work so I've been neglecting him. That's going to change. Life can't always be about the next news story.
Entry Twenty-Five
Dear Diary
I can’t believe he’s really gone. I feel so horrible for thinking Josh was having an affair with that woman when he was planning to ask me to marry him. The terrible thing is that I’m not so sure I would have said yes. That just makes me sound like a horrible person. He was so worried about me and he was the one that ended up in danger. I was so mad at Mick for not turning him but a little time has given me some perspective on that.It was just so easy to lash out at Mick because he was there and had the power to make it so Josh wouldn’t die. He would have been in the same position that Mick was so I can understand why he wouldn’t want to do that to someone else but I didn’t want to lose Josh. I just don’t know what I’m going to do. I put the ring on because I felt like I was supposed to but I feel like a fraud in doing so.
Entry Twenty-Six
Dear Diary
I called Mick and asked him to join me for a picnic on the beach. It is so great that he's human again since it's the one thing he wanted most in the world. I'm not sure what he likes to eat so I'll bring a little bit of everything. I need to apologize to him.
I was just upset about Josh that it was easy to lash out at Mick since he was there. I know Josh woldn't have wanted to be a vampire. I do know that I would have turned down Josh's proposal. I thik I'm going to tell Mick about how I feel and let him make the next move.
Entry Twenty-Seven
Dear Diary
I think I understand what Mick meant when he talked about losing people he cared about. Sure Maureen was my boss but she was also my friend. I'm not just going to sit back and do nothing about it. So far I'm not really liking that Talbot guy. He's lucky to have Mick's help. I know Mick will find whoever killed Maureen and I'm going to be right there beside him because I want justice for my friend.
Those donuts were terrible. It's fun to see Mick discover things as a newly returned human. I wonder how long it will last. He seems to be enjoying every minute of it. I'm glad that Josef didn't kill Marueen for Mick's sake. I have to admit that I like the guy oddly enough. It looks like the killer could be a vampire. That is pretty smart to make it look like a human crime instead of using the fangs.
Entry Twenty-Eight
Dear Diary
I think my heart stopped when it looked like Mick was going to fall off the roof. It was such a new thing to worry about him getting hurt. It's not like I never worried before but I always knew he'd be fine. Mick's back to being a vampire. I would think he'd hate me for having to make such a sacrifice.
That wasn't how I'd thought our first date would be. Mick's afraid of being hurt which I can understand but I don't have forever like he does. There has to be a way to make this work. I just hope he realizes it sooner rather than later.
Entry Twenty-Nine
Dear Diary
Great my new boss is a total moron. He wants to make BuzzWire more trashy. I have no idea what story I'd fabricate to appease him. Instead a real one got thrown overboard. I can't believe he thought Mick was her boyfriend. He's my boyfriend at least I'm pretty sure he is. It certainly won't be boring to date a vampire.
I'm thinking restaurants are out since I'd imagine Mick would get bored watching me eat. That was odd how Talbot invited me to lunch. I guess you can only talk to someone else that got kidnapped by a plastic surgeon. Of course he doesn't know the whole story.
Entry Thirty
Dear Diary
It looks like I'll have to start job hunting since I quite BuzzWire. It wasn't such a hard decision with Maureen gone and Louis wanting to turn it into a trashy tab without even a veneer of respectability. Also I don't want to endager Mick's secret coming out. I wouldn't want to be responsible for that.
I guess you never really know what you're capable of until you're backed into a corner. I've lost track of how many times Mick has saved me so I had to do this. I don't want Mick to ever find out about this. There really wasn't another option. I knew that Josef would help me out since he loves Mick too.
Entry Thirty-One
Dear Diary
Wow Mick could have a son. I know he's a vampire but it's easy to forget about his having a life before when he was human. So of course I shouldn't be surprised when something about his past pops up but this would be a good something. This little boy Jacob could be his grandson. I just hope he's found in time unlike the other two. There's just so much about Mick that I don't know about yet which is understandable since he's so much older even though he doesn't appear to be.
Being unemployed I'll admit is driving me crazy. I need to be doing something so I was glad to help when Ben called me. I hope Mick finds some pre vamp DNA so he can find out if Robert's his son or not. I wonder if he'd tell him no he probably wouldn't. Well this case will keep me busy for the time being. Talbot doing a background case on me is kind of creepy but I can understand that. It's just that I don't like talking about what happened when I was little.
Entry Thirty-Two
Dear Diary
I have a job now working for Ben as a civilian investigator. So I think I'll enjoy this new job of mine since it's not like I'm a stranger to investigating. I'm just relieved to be employed since looking for a job just sucked. Now I have a job that won't end up hurting Mick because I couldn't bear it if I had something to do with him being forced to leave town.
I know Mick was happy for his friend Ray but at the same time I think he was a bit disappointed. I'm just so relieved that Jacob was found safe and sound and that the bad guy did everyone a favor by killing himself. It's not like Mick could have told Robert about their relationship so I guess things worked out for the best.
Entry Thirty-Three
Dear Diary
So much for a date without a dead body. It would be nice to get through an evening without that. It was like being at my prom which didn't have a dead body. There were a lot of vampires around. It was very sweet of Josef to dedicate the sports arena to Sara. It was nice until the dead body ruined the evening especially when I was in Mick's arms when we were dancing.
Wow 150 years ia really long time. That gives new meaning to being together forever. It is also pretty romantic. Emma told me about meeting Jackson and just knowing. I never really thought about becoming a vampire because I know he won't turn me. Would I want to if he ever offered? I'm not sure if this will work out.
I guess vampires think about things differently since it looked pretty intimate when I walked in on Mick sucking on Simone's blood. It is so strange being able to talk to someone about it since we seem to be a pretty exclusive club. I'm just not sure how things can work out with me human and him a vampire.
