Chapter 2 - You don't know me anymore.

As my heels clicked and echoed down the dark and seemly lonely tunnels there was an unmistakable smell of death. Being connected to the white bull gave me a few 'affinities'. I could also speak to the spirits, I could even control them but I never have, yes it was tempting when Neferet told me, I mean her eyes lit up when she explains it would be like my very own army but she came to me in a dream and I woke up before she persuaded me…

But the black bull wants me too, I can heal vampires and humans along with animals and well, anything living.

I can heal or kill.

Draining the life out of someone is easy but when I heal someone it hurts me. Like my insides are being stabbed. I remember shortly after I had my breakdown I saw a girl rejecting the change, I wanted to lessen her pain so I knelt beside her and did just that. She thanked me before she passed but I was puking blood for a week. It's like when I do good things my bad side hurts me…

Bile rose as I realized I would be surrounded by death as long as I stayed to help Zoey Redbird. Death doesn't smell bad to me, in fact it smells the opposite, it smells sweet. Before I helped that girl as she rejected the change I had actually wanted too drain her life. Something the white bull and spirits urged me to do.

I angrily shook my head, why was I bringing up the past again? As I drove to the tunnels I promised myself to forget my old life and not read my diary. I had only just recovered and thinking about what I could do only tempted me.

"Hello?" I called into the dark, hoping no mutants would jump on me.

No mutants jumped on me but as I was slammed to the floor I saw a warrior had knocked me to the ground. I was up as quick as he knocked me and I took the sword he had in his hand. I pointed it at him and as we circled each other I noticed there was others waiting in the shadows to attack.

"I see you all in the shadows, come out, I mean no harm." I calmly said as I threw the warriors sword on the floor.

He picked it up but kept it by his side, the others came out and I noticed some had red tattoos, so much for the mutants I was expecting.

"I need to speak to Zoey Redbird." I asked.

Just as I finished I saw a girl runni8ng down the tunnels.

"Nobody hurt her! Nyx came to me and told me she is here to help!" the girl screamed as she towards us.

She stood in front of me and I couldn't help but smile, she was in her pyjamas. She bowed as did I and then I put out my hand.

"Zoey Redbird, my name is Lila and it is a pleasure to meet you." I said smoothly.

"Jeesh, sorry about all that, Nyx left it till last moment to tell." she blurted back as she took my hand to shake it.

"How much has she told you?" I asked, trying to ignore the looks I was getting.

"Enough to know we need you." she smiled.

I smiled back and prayed Nyx hadn't told her too much. I turned to the warrior that had first jumped on me and bowed to him.

"Sorry to have caused trouble." I smiled as he bowed back.

"It is I was should be apologising, my name is Darius." he said.

"Guys go get Lila's stuff out of her car, she must be tired." Zoey said.

Darius and another two guys were up the tunnels and I turned to face everyone. Then my heart stopped…

"Lila?" he asked as I stared blankly at him. Last time I heard that voice there had been a cruel tone to it. He looked different with his red tattoos and softer voice as he stood before me looking bewildered in his jeans with no top on. But I knew it was him, even if he clearly could not believe it was me. I had clearly changed also and I knew the old me would have fainted or screamed but I mentally shook myself and looked him straight in the eye, I hadn't felt much in long time and he was not going to start me feeling again.

"James." I said in a monotone voice as I stepped forward. "Zoey, I am very tired, can I please be shown to my room now?" I asked Zoey who clearly knew not to ask anything, she nodded and I started to follow her, my mind shutting off.

He did not know me anymore, Stark did not know me anymore.
