Sorry it has been a while, you read the warning in the description.

Gannen's POV:

Now it came the time that I dreaded, the time to take my place as a vampenezezs assistant, I was scared yet excited, my emotions were running wild. I was sweating a bit, like you wouldn't. I guess he noticed, Mr. Mursso (is what he told me to call him, he had never dared to tell me his first name) looked at me with a suspicious eye, he knew, crap! Then he spoke softly, just enough for me to hear.

"You do not have to do this you know."

"BUT THEN THEY'LL DIE!"

"Yes, and that is the reason I choose you."

"What?" Valentine interrupted.

"You do not understand, I ave chosen your brother for his pure self sacrifice for you and his brother."

"Brothers" I corrected him.

"Oh, yes brothers"

"I am not letting you take away my brother!" damn Valentine was going to get herself killed.

"Why don't you come with us then, two assistants are better than one, but you must follow the same treatment as your brother and endure everything that I put you through, you shall get no special treatment because of your gender, age, or will to join me."

"What?!" me and her shouted at the same time.

"Shhh, you will was the bears."

"Valentine." I said quietly, all I could do we stare at her.

"I... I..." was all she could respond.

"You do not have to choose now I-" he stopped a a scream filled the air, Vancha's scream. No! Crap, No!

"Vancha!" I exclaimed and started to run.

"So that s your brother," he aske Valentine more than me.

"Yes," she replied dumbly.

"Let's go, it sounds like he need help." and with that we were off.

It took us a good hour to get back there, the vampaneze knew his way around the mountain better than we did. When we got there though, I just couldn't believe the sight before my eyes. There was blood everywhere, my first thought, please don't let it be Vancha or Seban, please. Then my prayers were answered, the boys were huddled near the back of the cave. The blood everywhere was from a bear, to my best guess they boys were there being sik when a bear attacked then they attacked and got lucky, not bad for a six and four year old. Mr. Murssowalked over to them slowly, check to see if they were okay and if they were truly sick. All he did was confirm my suspicions, damn it, if the boys were vampaneze they would never get sick, they it hit me, he was going to heal them by blooding them. No!

Then he spoke,"I can not save both for the price of one assistant, one assistant one boy." fuck he was harsh.

"Please," I was begging "Please!"

"I am sorry, I can not heal both just for you, " his gaze fell upon Valentine.

"Please," I begged her

"Fine," was all she mumbled, "but what will happen to the boys? If there is no one to watch over them..."

"First let me tell you the good news, The older boy," he gestured to Seban, "does not need much, a bit of my blood in his system to fight off Tey bug and he will be good. But for the other one..." he trailed off, damn him!

"What..." my voice cracking up.

"I am not sure if I can save him for sure, I need to take him to some one."

"And whom might this someone be?" I asked, an idiotic look spread across my face.

"I shall tell you later, now to cure these two boys and then onto..."

"Just get on with it!"

"No need to be pushy."

Vancha's POV:

My brother gave away his life to save me from the plague. I did not ask for him or wish for this to happen. In fact all I wanted to do was cruel up into a ball and die, and so did Seban, we thought our lives were pointless, living was becoming a chore, what was the point of living? Now Gannen and Valentine sacrifice the selfs for us? To them I will forever be great full. I was ready to face death, then I was given a chance to start a new. my brother lying there, cold and unconscious, oh how I wish to wrap my arms around him and thank him till the sun comes up, but I can not.

I about to something completely and utterly stupid. I grabbed my brother and carried him up to a near by cave, now it was my turn to care for him. I can never truly repay my brother, but every time the chance is offered I try and repay him in little bits, and now was one of them. Like when I could catch my brother whom was about to flint off with the Vampaneze lord, but didn't. I couldn't bring my self up to hurt him, he gave away everything to save me and harming him, killing him is how I would return the favor? I think not!

Gannen's POV:

I wish I could have said goodbye to Seban as he entered the small village alone, he was now immune to the plague and could not die from it so he went to find a family that would take him in. I wish he would come with us, I never wanted to leave him, all I wanted was to care for him, in a way he was like a son to me.

Vancha was next he was better but still sick, Mr. Mursso said we would take him to Lady Evanna, but first he needed our commitment, Mine and Valentine's. He asked us for our names, I told him mine but Valentine did something different.

"Lilith" she said proudly. I looked at he confused but careful not to show Mr. Mursso.

Later she took me aside and said, "You really think with a name like Valentine I can be a vampaneze? Mr. Mursso told us how vampaneze act toward women, so you think with a girly name he will accept me? Plus this is a new life for us, I thought a new name would be acceptable." then I got it, I still kept my name, I never wanted a new one, I still thought that this was old life, but I later realized that I left that life over one year ago on that summers night.

I was up first, I was shacking in my boots, like you wouldn't be. He saw there worry on my face, and I didn't even try to hide it. I was sweating buckets and my breath started to hitch when he came in a one foot distance.

"Calm down," he said in a soft tone. His words only terrified me more. "You do not have to go first, if you wish-"

"No!" I interrupted him, "I am not a coward, I can do this!"

"Very well, show me your hands." I did everything he said. "Now are you ready?" he asked just before he was about to drive his finger nails into the soft flash of my finger tips. "You know what will happen next Gannen, your heart will slow down until it stops, then there is no turning back."

"Yes," was all I managed to croak out, "I know."

"Very well, Lilith watch him, catch him when he falls." she nodded and walk to almost one foot behind me and placed her hand on my shoulder and gave my a loving squeeze. I started to clam down but barely. "You shall be blooded today and you sister later."

"Ahhh," I exclaimed in pain, fuck it hurt more than I thought it would.

"Calm down, do not be such a baby," great now I mocked too, just fucking great.

"B... But it... It hurts!"

"I know, did you think becoming a vampaneze was going to be easy?"

"Yes," I mumbled out loud.

"Idiot!"

Then he pressed his bleeding figure tips against mine, wound for wound. My arms suddenly became numb. Then there was a rushing sensation that flooded my body, I could feel my blood moving from my body to his through my left had, and his enduring mine through my right. I could feel something inside me shift. I could feel his blood moving up my body, it slowly traveled its way up my right arm and through the rest of my body. Then a stab of pain hit my as the blood reached my heart and I almost collapsed, the same thing happened to him. He was cursing under his breath, not acting as if in pain but in slight discomfort. My body started to grow weak, I was dieing. The pain started to fade as the blood traveled down my left arm and back to him. My body grew weaker and weaker, Valentine had to support me now. We stayed conjoined for a bit longer then he pulled away.

"Give me your hands!" I could barely move so Valentine had to hand him my hand, how ironic! He draped his tough along my finger tips healing them within vampaneze healing spit.

My body shook I was still dieing, it was now getting hard to breath, and my heart was slowing dramatically. Pain flooded throughout my body. Then I felt a pair or warm lips press on mine, Valentine, she was kissing me? With her kiss I felt more at ease, she was helping me! Mr. Mursso didn't object, he just watched and made sure my transformation was going smoothly. The the pain came back, Valentine kissed me again and again, my vision was failing and the sounds started to fade, this was it, my last minutes among the living, good by humanity, good bye. With that my heart stopped as did my breathing and Valentine pulled me in and gave me one last compassionate kiss.
