When Mai next opened her eyes she found herself floating in a dark abyss, the feeling of weightlessness and emptiness soon found her.
"Am I dead?" she whispered to herself with tears in her eyes.
"Mai," a familiar voice called out to her.
"Naru!" she called back with a hopeful voice.
"Sorry Mai," replied the voice as he finally came into the light.
"Gene," Mai said giving him a small smile, one he returned before she crushed him in a bear hug.
"Oh I've missed you!!" she cried before realization sunk in, "Wait...Does that mean that they.....That he killed me?" she asked fearful of the answer. Gene's face saddened as he looked to her.
"No Mai, you're not dead," he said in a sad voice.
"Isn't that good?" asked Mai after hearing his sadness. Gene smiled at her.
"Of course it is, you're alive but...." he trailed off as if he was wondering how to phrase his next sentence.
"But what?" Mai asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. Gene suddenly looked down.
"I'm sorry Mai, it will all be explained but now you need to wake up," replied Gene as his image began fading, his voice seeming to get further and further away.
"Gene wait!" cried Mai as she watched him disappear.
Mai's eyes shot open as she greedily gulped down as much air as she could, her lungs felt as if she had stayed under water for far too long, only just managing to reach the surface in time. Looking around Mai saw the face of the man who had attacked her as he hovered over her figure. In a futile attempt to get further away from him Mai pushed her back flatter into the floor. The face above her smirked.
"It has been done," he said as he removed his face from view, allowing her to sit up. Mai looked at him before inspecting her body, to see if any damage had been done. Her eyes widened in shock as all of her previous wounds had disappeared, tears began rolling down her face.
"What!? What have you done!?" Mai asked hoping to get a straight answer, he looked over to her.
"Killed you, and brought you back as one of us," he replied smirking as he heard her gasp.
"I don't understand!" she cried, trying to wipe away her tears.
"My dear you are now ready for training, you are a vampire," at Mai's disbelief he continued, "Take a look for yourself," Mai did just that looking to the mirror she gasped, where was her reflection?
"I'm dead," she whispered sadly to herself.
"More like undead, come I will now explain to you what is going to happen to you, we don't need you to be killed by hunters," he replied in an emotionless voice. Mai nodded as her tears fell to the floor, looking back to the rooms other occupant, she swore she saw a flash of regret in his eyes before it was quickly smothered.
"So I'm a vampire?" Mai asked in a defeated tone.
"Yes, but it's not all bad, I'm sure you've heard of us, especially in your line of work," he replied.
"I've only ever heard of Vampires in movies or Vlad the Impaler," replied Mai, her escort let out a small chuckle.
"Yes, well Hollywood is Hollywood, and Vlad the Impaler well he was just a monster in his own right, but no we Vampires aren't like that," he said stopping because he saw Mai open her mouth to ask a question he knew she wouldn't like the answer to.
"You mean we don't drink blood? So I can go back to my normal life?" asked Mai hopefully.
"No, we do drink blood, just not as much as they make out in the movies, probably once every two months providing it's a large amount," he replied looking at Mai to see her reaction, her face saddened.
"So I have to kill to survive?" she asked as more tears came to her eyes. Her escort smiled at her.
"Actually no, we don't need that much to survive, and you really only drain someone when you turn them into one of us," he replied glad for that fact, he smiled as her heard her let out a sigh of relief.
"Can I go home?" Mai asked in a whisper so low that the man next to her had to strain to hear it. He sighed.
"I'm sorry Mai, truly I am, no one enjoys this life, I wouldn't wish this life on anyone, least of all on someone as pure hearted as you but we had no choice, we need your help," he turned to the sixteen year old girl. Mai sighed, she lived to help people but, this was not what she wanted, however the choice hadn't been hers, best to make friends then enemies, she nodded.
"I am Sydney Rivers though my code name is Z," said Sydney with a smile.
"Er Z?" asked Mai raising an eyebrow causing Z to blush.
"What Z is a cool name," he replied trying to get the blush off of his face, and for the first time Mai noticed how young he looked, which seemed to be 19-20.
"You are such a kid," replied Mai as she cracked a smile.
"Hey I'll have you know that I'm two hundred years old, you should respect your elders," said Z in a proud tone.
"TWO HUNDRED!" cried Mai shocked as she looked him over.
"Vampire Vi, we don't age," he replied as he rolled his eyes. Mai felt heat come to her cheeks as her anger over came her.
"Ah you jerk! Wait Vi?" she yelled out only to earn a smirk from the other Vampire as she realized what her code name was.
"Great another Naru," she hissed to herself before stopping as she realized what she had said.
"Naru........When will I get to see them again?" she asked making Z stop in his tracks. He sighed.
"Mai be reasonable, your friends are ghost hunters, they hunt and exterminate anything paranormal and you are....." he started only to be cut off by an angry Mai.
"NO! Don't you dare! They are my family, they would never hurt me!" yelled Mai hitting Z on the chest with her hands, Z only sighed and grabbed her arms in mid hit.
"People can do many things to those they fear, but if you insist that they will not hurt you, then you may go and see them," replied Z letting go of Mai as he began walking down the hall, Mai smiled and was mentally doing a victory dance. That was until she heard Z shout over his should.
"Oh but only after you finish your training," he said and Mai could practically hear the smirk in his voice.
