Hello my faithful readers, I thank you so much for the condolences you all have given me. It has been a tough week with my really good friend Nick passing on. Today is his funeral, and I know he would not want me to put my life on hold for him, especially my writing because he was such a big fan. Since this story is a part of my life and he was such a fan I decided to pull it together and put up the forth chapter. So I dedicate this chapter to Nicholas T. Floury, a dear friend that's life was cut to short, but will never be forgotten in the hearts of his friends and family.

Love, Ana

P.S. I'm sorry the email address didn't pop up last time so I'm putting it back up. It is also on my author Bio page. heavenslittleangel09yahoo

CHAPTER FOUR: Complicated Understandings

"The Devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape." --- William Shakespeare

She stood still and silent looking at him with unblinking eyes. Was she breathing? She didn't know, she didn't even know what was happening to her right now. He had said he was a vampire, but that couldn't be true because vampires were myths, besides that he was gorgeous. Weren't vampires supposed to be ugly like the ones in all the old horror films? Then he flashed his pearl white teeth and there they were, two fangs meant to sink into the flesh of a human's neck. A tingle ran up her back and she started to breath again, slowly at first, then faster, fear running rampant throughout her body. Then she fainted.

Vegeta's arms shot out just in time to catch her before she hit the floor. He gathered her into his arms once again to lay her on the giant bed. He knew she would be frightened at first. But to faint…he thought she would start yelling and screaming as so many did, not faint. He went to the bathroom wetting a clothe in cool water, then marched back to the sleeping beauty passed out on his bed. He gently stroked the clothe over her forehead cooing gentle words of encouragement to her to awaken. When he saw her eyelids flutter he drew the clothe away and helped her sit up.

"Oh shit, I'm still in the same place." She mumbled and looked up at Vegeta holding her up. Fear brightened her eyes again as she slowly moved away, as if he were a bear or a lion.

"Your not going to…umm…you know suck my blood or anything right?" She said in a shaky voice, her hands fluttering to her neck as if to protect it. Vegeta smirked, then laughed at her innocent looking face.

"No, I have you here to keep me company, to be my confidant, and to eventually be my mate."

"So you weren't lying when you said all those things?"

"I do not lie; you will learn that soon enough. I believe it is a silly thing to do and wastes time."

Bulma didn't know what to say or do. She was in a vampire's home and he wanted her as his mate, what was she supposed to say to that? 'Yeah sure mister vampire, and while your at your business bite me.' That would go over really well.

"You're frightened and I can understand that. But you must trust me when I say if I was going to harm you I would have done it already." Vegeta said in a soothing voice.

Bulma looked up to him her eyes large. Trust a vampire that was a rich one. 'He must have been a comedian when he was a human,' she thought. But something in his eyes ensured her that he was telling her the truth.

"Am I ever allowed to leave?"

"Only when I can trust you to come back."

"What about my family and friends?" She said her voice shaky with tears.

"I am your family and friends now."

"I can't believe your doing this to me. What have I ever done to make you take me away from those I love?"

"You will learn to love me in time and you will forget them."

"No, you don't understand what is to be taken from those you love. You're a demon. You're the devil and I won't stay here any longer than I have to."

"You will stay Bulma, because you have no choice. I will not hurt you, but I can not say the same thing about this house. It is enchanted to protect me. If you head to the doors or windows and try to leave it will assume you are leaving and will tell someone about me, then it will kill you."

"You're lying."

"As I said before, I do not lie. Test it if you must, but it will be the last thing you do."

"I hate you."

"For now you do, but in time you will have a change of heart and mind."

"How can anybody love a monster? You picked the wrong person to be your mate because I will never let you touch me that way."

"Ahhhh, but you didn't say I couldn't touch you, we have made progress already." He said with a smirk and a laugh as her jaw dropped at his audacity.

"Why you…you…" She hissed not knowing what to say.

"At a loss of words sweet? That has to be a first."

He started laughing then was caught off guard when she punched him in the nose. His eyes narrowed at her, and she shrunk back fear in her eyes. He cleared the anger from his face and sighed.

"I give you that one; I did steal you from your world and placed you in a new one. But I will warn you never to hit me again; I can't not promise what I will do." Getting up he walked over to the door and stopped to look back at her. She sat with her knees to her chin and her arms wrapped around her legs.

"And you were wrong." She looked up when he said that.

"I was ripped away from loved ones, and they were also ripped away from me, in more ways than one." With that said he left the room, leaving her for the night to gather her thoughts.

"This is going to be harder than I thought." Vegeta said as he made his way to another bedroom that would shield him from the suns light.

……………………………………………

She fell asleep sometime during the night, to tired to stay awake and devise a plan to escape. She dreamt of her friends and her family. She saw her father and her working on some new science project, laughing when something went wrong with it. She saw her mother and her sitting in their living room watching romance movies and crying until the tissue boxes were emptied on the floor. Then her dreams changed within an instant. She was running through a long black tunnel towards the screams of a woman and man. That's when she saw them. Vegeta, and two people that must have been his parents. The man was begging for his son's life as he was being drained of his blood. The last of his energy was spent on saying the one word 'please'. Then she was his mother being pushed to the ground, the monster that was a vampire ripping her clothes off rapping her until she cried and begged for him to stop. He then sunk his teeth into her neck drinking her life force. She turned her head to Vegeta and saw him crying for his parents. Then the vampire turned his sights on Vegeta, and coaxed him to come to him and take the life he would give him. She tried to yell out for Vegeta to stop, but no sound came out. She tried to run to him but she stayed in one place. Then she dropped to her knees when she saw the monster picking Vegeta up by his throat and sinking his fangs into Vegeta's throat. Tears ran down her cheeks as she saw his life being ripped from him. Anger grew inside her as she watched the demon drop Vegeta's lifeless body to the ground as if he were nothing less that a useless toy. Getting back up to her feet she yelled the anger growing more and more inside and feeling like it was going to burst into a million shards. A bright gold light surrounded her enveloping her in a warmness and easiness she had never felt before. She felt strong also, as if she could take on any evil that was thrown her way. Then it was as if the monster heard her screams, because he turned his head to her.

'You.' He said inching back up to his feet leaving Vegeta's lifeless body on the ground.

'Yes, it is me.' Bulma said in a voice that wasn't quite her own. She looked down and saw she was dressed in a flowing white robe.

'And what are you doing here Guardian.' He said in a seething voice.

'I'm here to make sure you pay for your crimes against God, Lucifer.'

'He is not my God any longer, Guardian and he does not reign here.'

'He reigns everywhere there is life. He created this earth and these humans, just as he created me and you.'

'Mistake it was when he made me, but I'm glad he did, that way I could take all this from him and rule as it should be, with fear and evil.'

'You will never rule, God has many loyal followers that will defeat you Lucifer, you will regret the day that deceived our Lord.'

'I never regret anything, besides these useless, pathetic humans, can not stand up against me and my powers. They will ultimately be the down fall of earth. I can show you what will happen when they rule as your God lets them.' With that said pictures of wars and death filled the room. The sounds of dieing filled her ears, and the smell of the dead consumed her.

'Enough, you show me lies, that's all you have showed anyone, are the lies to make them believe you and follow you. You will pay for all your wrong doings, and when you do I will be there to pray for you.'

'I don't want your prayers, HELENA.' He said using her real name for the first time.

'You could have been my Queen if only you decided to come with me. No, you chose God over me. You made me believe in your love, and you left me to stay with him.'

'You took a path I could not believe in nor follow; I love my God more than I could have loved you when you turned on us. Once you were a kind, gentle, and beautiful angel. You were favored by the Lord and you betrayed him, in betraying him you betrayed me and our love.'

'I could have given you anything you ever wanted yet you stayed with him and loyal to the end when he threw me out of heaven.'

'That's exactly it though Lucifer, you could not give me heaven, and you could not give the loyalty to God or me that was needed. You were the one that ruined us not me.'

Anger seeped through him and finally he jumped into the air and flew at her fangs bared ready to strike…to kill.

She woke with a start. Bulma sat up in the bed and looked down at the ground to see the sunlight on the floor. The curtains on the windows had drawn themselves open when the sun rose sensing that their master wasn't the one sleeping in the room. Bulma rolled out of the bed and walked to the window bathing in the sun light, trying to chase away the darkness that she still felt around her.

"I wonder if I will ever be in the light again." She said looking at the bright blue sky, trying to take comfort in what she had. She still had her life.
