Well, I know this has taken a while, but some personal issues came up (as well as some writer's block...), and I'm not completely happy with this chapter (like I was with the first one.), but all in all, it's better then nothing, right? XD The reason I set the rating to T was because of some of the chapter content. I just don't want people getting angry at me for 1) Not explaining the rating, and 2) for how 'bloody' this chapter kinda is. But anyway, on with the chapter.

----------------------

Mia was standing behind the church again, hidden by its shadow, watching the rain fall to the ground. It was nighttime once again in Volterra, and, once again, her feet had led her here.

"He does honestly care about you."

She kept telling herself that line; how true that was however, she'd never know. It was quiet again; only the sound of rain was present. She stood there for a few hours, repeating that same line to herself when she heard footsteps. They didn't sound measured or controlled like a vampire's would have been. She heard the footsteps come closer to where she was standing. The last thing she would need was pity from a human. That and she would never hear the end of it from Caius. She watched as a man walked towards the back of the church. She stood still, not daring to even 'breath'. He caught sight of her and stopped.

"Hey!" The man called to her.

"Oh joy."

She rolled her eyes a bit. "What?" She asked him as politely as she could. The man walked over to her and looked down at her.

"What's a young woman like yourself doing out in the rain?" The man asked her.

"It's… a very long story." She mumbled.

"Ha. Try a few centuries long."

He appeared to be in his late 30s, and he had just come from the church. She stayed in the same position, not having moved a muscle. "The church is still open, and one of my friends is a Father there. Why don't you come inside and talk to him?" he offered quickly. She shook her head.

"I'm sorry; it's not really something that I could talk about to a Father with," she answered him.

"Not to any human."

He got a puzzled look on his face. "Are you sure?" he pressed. She was about to say something but stopped.

"Maybe…"

Mia suddenly smiled at him. "Well, maybe not to the church, but would you like to grab some coffee?" The man gave her another puzzled look.

"A-Alright, but to where?" he asked. She smiled at him again.

"There's one right around the corner," she pointed towards an alley-way. "It's a short-cut," she said in a reassuring tone. The man raised an eyebrow but started to walk towards the alley-way. Mia snickered under her breath and quickly followed him.

"Ha, poor thing."

When he drew closer to the alley, she spoke up. "Hey mister?"

"Yes?" he asked. When he had turned around, she reached her hand forward and had grabbed him by his neck. He looked her in the eye. "W-What are you…?" he stammered She growled softly.

"I am a vampire; and you are my dinner," she said, smirking wickedly. He was about to speak again but she slammed him against the wall, and ripped her fangs across his neck, watching his warm blood pour out from his fresh wound. He tried to cry out, but when the blood started to fill his mouth, he couldn't. He gave her a pleading look, but she paid no mind to it and sunk her fangs into his neck.

His blood didn't taste all that good, as Mia had expected, but she wasn't going to be picky. She let the blood flow down her throat, and with it, some of the worry over Aro. She bit down harder and heard the bone in his neck snap.

"Humans are too frail."

When all of the blood had been drained from the man, Mia let his now limp and lifeless body drop to the ground.

"Now what?"

She shook her head silently, and looked around. There was no one else in sight. She growled at herself and started to walk away, but stopped. What could she do it hide the body?

"There's a forest nearby, right? In the South, just a few miles away…"

She looked back at the man with a scowl.

"Just dump it there."

Mia sighed and put him over her shoulder and started to run to the south. She ran in the shadows, although she knew that no human would be able to see her anyway. She reached the forest south of Volterra in a matter of minutes. She walked deeper into the forest until she came to a small clearing. She set the body down at the edge of it and broke his leg with her foot. She spotted a bear nearby and turned, walking away silently.

"Hopefully that would be enough for it to attack him."

When she knew she would be out of ear shot from the bear, she started to run back to the hideout.

"Oh yay. Now you get to go back to Aro. And just what are you going to do when you get back?"

Mia just ran faster.

"What will you do?"

----------------------

I kinda got inspiration from Nobody's Home By Avril Lavigne for the setting of the chapter when I was sitting in a store. I kinda feel that Mia's having a wayward feeling, such as the song suggests. I don't have much else to put, so I'l leave you to it. Reviews would make me happy. XP
