Chapter 3

My POV

I opened my eyes, feeling really groggy, not really remembering what happened, to meet blinding white lights. I groaned and a lady walked over to me. She smiled. She was dressed like a nurse.

"Well well! You're up! No one was expecting you to wake up so soon," She said. I glared at her.

"Where the fuck am I?" I asked. She smiled slightly again.

"You're in a hospital dear. You had a run in with a vampire!" She told me. I gasped as some memories came flooding back to me. I clutched my head as I laid their as I remembered the vampire Sesshomaru, being bitten by some vampire, and then nothing. I tried to remember who bite me, whether it was Sesshomaru or some other vampire, but I could not.

"Dear, are you alright?" She asked, clearly concerned about your reaction. I nodded.

"Yeah…just starting to remember." I told her. She smiled and went about her business and I positioned the bed in a sitting position. I looked around. I noticed I was hooked up to a lot of IV's in my right arm. I rolled your eyes. 'In the year 2582 you would think they would have a better way to get stuff into your body' I thought. I didn't even want to know what was seeping into my body. I could feel a lot of wires hooked up to me. I really didn't want to think about it, so I grabbed the remote and flipped through the TV channels until I got to cartoons. I smiled and relaxed as I watched people beat the shit out of other people for the hell of it. I was laughing and stuff when my door opened.

"Rei are you up yet?" Came a cautious voice.

"Yeah I'm here!" I called back. Marissa poked her head in and smiled.

"I told you there would be vampires!" She said. I laughed and threw my pillow are her. It went over her head and she walked in not bothering to get it. I glared at her.

"I want my pillow back." I said.

"Well I ain't getting it!" She said. Right on cue a nurse opened my door, holding a new pillow. She was laughing.

"I love pillow fights as much as the next person, but the hospital pillows are a very bad thing to use!" She said. We both burst out laughing as she helped me put my pillow behind my back. As soon as she was gone I turned to Marissa.

"Chip." I said with my arm outstretched. She smiled and rolled her eyes as she handed me a computer chip. I bet you are all wondering what I'm going to do with that. I dropped it on my bed in my lap and pushed a little button and it started flashing. Suddenly a holographic screen and keyboard was right in front of me. I smiled as I started typing on the keyboard. I went online with Marissa and we check our mail and shit and played games. We played bejeweled for like….10 bazillion hours! Yes we still have bejeweled. It's a classic!! When I got hungry I grabbed the remote. I pushed a button that said order and another screen appeared beside me. Yes we use holograms a lot in this era. I pulled my keyboard over and hooked it up to that and did a search for snacks. I smiled when I found my three favorite things to have. Redvines (generic licorice), mint chocolate chip ice cream, and orange juice. I sent in my order and in a matter of seconds a levitating tray came at me from across my room with my items on it. I love my era. Marissa then grabbed the remote and ordered for her. We laughed. The food was only supposed to be for the patients. We wasted the afternoon away playing video games on my computer until the nurses finally just kicked Marissa out. I laughed at her as she tried to cling to the bed. One of the nurses stayed behind and laughed about it with me. She was the same nurse who gave me a new pillow.

"I tried to stall them as long as I could, but it just didn't work." She said. I laughed hysterically. She made sure I was settled for the night and left. I turned my pc back on, and started playing games. Then I went online and did a search for vampires. Surprisingly, I managed to find my vampire, Sesshomaru. The paintings that I found were of him and his parents. I read more about his family. Turns out he's the son of a lord. His father was lord of all the vampires in this region. They were very rich and had very little to do with the humans. It's not that they hate humans; they just keep to themselves a lot. I smiled. The more I looked at his portraits, the more I liked this Sesshomaru. Finally, I shut off my computer and went to bed.

Sesshomaru's POV

After I bit Rei, my parents began fighting again. This time over Rei. My mother was yelling at my father when I left. Something about how he can't complain about my pet when he has one of his own. I sighed as I laid on a thick tree branch. I was right outside Rei's room. Her body did not reject my bite. That was good. If it had, she would have died. The hospital had her hooked up to a lot of electrical equipment. She had only woken up today. I had bit her almost two days ago. Yes, my parents have been fighting for that long. I smiled as I saw Rei researching my family and I. I had let her keep one memory of me and my bite. She didn't have enough to make the connection. When she was asleep, I snuck in through the window. I smiled as I moved her hair out of her face. She was marvelous. I gently rolled her over so she was facing me. I moved behind and gently lifted her shirt to see her back. I growled quietly when I saw all the things she was hooked up to. All she actually needed was the IV. Slowly, I began pulling the needles out of her back. She flinched a few times, but I managed to keep her in her sleep. After all the needles were out of the way, I then started pulling the ones that were only stuck on off. When I was done, I heard some beeping and knew a nurse would be on the way. I growled and shook my head as I lowered her shirt back down and prepared to leave. Gently I kissed her lips and made my way to the window. As soon as I was safely out and watching from the tree, the nurse rushed in and gasped. I had left nothing in her back. All she had was the IV in her hand. The nurse gently ran her hand over Rei's back and Rei woke up. In a flash she had spun around and grabbed the nurse's wrist in a death grip and was staring at her with wide eyes as she took deep breathes. I didn't know what she had dreamed about, but I knew it had something to do with her magic. After being bitten, it wouldn't be long until she started using it with her knowledge. The nurse looked at her with alarm.

"Let go, Rei." She said once she had gotten over her shock. Rei did not let go. She was still trying to get a hold of herself and her surroundings.

"Rei…Let go." The nurse said more firmly. Rei's gaze lost its intensity and her grip loosened. The nurse quickly pulled her hand back and then went back to making sure Rei was alright.

"Rei, are you alright? You seem so…" She trailed off. Rei was staring off into space. I knew what could happen if she was left in this state for long. She would get lost. Her body would become a mindless shell. So I did the only thing I knew to do. I called out to her mentally. 'Rei…' I thought. Her head snapped in my direction, her eyes filled with alarm. Her breathing began to calm as she heard the nurse talking. She looked back at her.

"What did you say?" She said with a shaky voice. I breathed a sigh of relief. If Rei was able to talk now, she was safe.

"Rei, are you alright? You seem so alarmed. It's unnerving." The nurse said. Rei slowly shook her head.

"I was having a dream. There was fire. Nothing but fire all around me. And a voice whispering things to me. I couldn't tell what the voice was saying. I couldn't even tell if it was a boy or a girl. But they wanted me to hear! They really did. But the fire crackling was drowning them out…" Rei said. My eyes went wide. 'Fire?! Theta has given her the gift of FIRE!! Some vampires I know can't even do fire magic. Yet, Theta has given it to this human…' I thought. It wasn't until Rei's head snapped in my direction and her face showed her shock did I realize I had transmitted my thoughts to her.

"Damn," I whispered. Quickly I went home. I could check on her tomorrow night.

My POV

I looked out my window long after I knew my vampire was gone. Yes, I knew that was my vampire. I knew enough about them to know that vampires can only have mental connections with humans that they've bitten. He hadn't meant for me to hear what he said about me. I can do magic?! Since when?! No one else in my family can. I didn't sleep at all that night after that. I had the nurse bring me a book on the vampire language. It was EXACTLY what I needed…
