Chapter 2 .

Nathan took me outside and it took me a moment to take everything in. The moon was raising and it was bright. I have never looked at the moon before, like I was at that moment. The light reflected off a near by stream, causing a flashlight effect around the forest. I could look up and see the different shapes, on the surface. I could see animals running away from us, like they knew that we were the undead. They couldn't have, there was no way. I saw the wind blowing the leaves off, of near by trees.

"Different, huh?" Nathan asked by my side.

I turned around and saw other Strigoi walk out. There were about ten of them that were still here. They must have been the ones that were loyal to Nathan. They were all men and very large. The beauty of them were obvious. Tall, slim, and strong. I watched as their movements were perfect. Each step was like a dance for them, like they were almost floating on the air around them.

Nathan took a few steps towards me and took ahold of my upper arm. "Come on." He said, pulling me away from the others. "You want to get a good meal before the others take it."

It hasn't really hit me till that moment. Nathan was going to have me hunt. I'm not going to be hunting something little but someone little. Someone that was real and breathing. Someone that had feelings and moods. Someone that had a family and a life.

I haven't realized but I must have flinched because Nathan was staring at me, when I woke up from my day dream.

We worked our way out of the forest area and towards a main city. They left a few cars by the side of the road, which we went into to. There were two different vans with tilted windows. Nathan drove, while he placed me in the seat beside of him. We made sure not to drive by the Academy … I could see the tops of the buildings from the road. It felt weird, leaving it. Leaving Rose.

"You must be feeling a lot of different things, right now. Don't worry it will fade away. You will learn how to cope and soon love it. Trust me." Nathan went on with his story, the two Strigoi behind us nodded in agreement. "You will learn how to have fun with it. You were a very strong Guardian but now? You are going to be a even stronger Strigoi!"

I crossed my hands and looked out the window.

"You will thank me someday for this life. You can do whatever you want and not have to care about anything. You can take life. There must be some people out there that you would love to end. You can do whatever you would like, be whoever. Just think of this like … a new start. A new start in life." Nathan went on and on. I wanted to reach across and cover his mouth with my fist.

I wasn't sure how to respond to something like that. I knew that … Well, I really should be responding. I should be asking questions and making sure I get answers. I should be doing a lot of stuff. That is for sure. I'm not though. I just sat there.

We drove out of the forest and down a pavement road. The road seemed to go on for miles and I felt sick. The feeling started in my lower stomach but worked it's way up the rest of my body. I made a sicking face, my lips twisting.

(A hour later …)

My hands were covered in blood, fingers crawling into a fist. My nose went up and I smelled the air, around me. My lips were closed shut and I didn't dare open them. I ran my tongue over my teeth, realizing that my teeth … my fangs were still pressed against my gums. Taking in a few breaths, though my nose and dropped my arms to my side.

I glanced down, seeing the body by my feet. It was a young girl who was walking home from a night college class. She was with a few friends and were walking though a park. They heard nosies around them and she got separate from the others. Nathan and the others went after her friends, while I cornered her. She saw me, as I walked towards her. I held my arms out, as a friendly jester. The girl even smiled at me. Having no idea what was in her future. My mouth was on fire and I jumped …

"Ah!" I screamed, falling onto my knees. How could I have done this?!

Nathan was at my side in a second. "Dimitri, stand up." He ordered and I stood up.

His eyes went over my body, looking for some kind of harm coming towards me. He shook his head, slowly. "There is nothing wrong with you."

Was that a question?

My eyes went towards the girl, "I did that."

"Yes, yes. You did. Very good job, by the way. I could hear her scream a mile away. You liked it?" He raised a brow, point a finger at my chest. "I know you did. There is blood all over you. You feel alive. You didn't kill a person, you killed because you had to. Because you needed to feed. Nothing more. Leave now, Dimitri."
