She turned over in the bed and stirred. As her brown eyes began to adjust the dimness of the room, she sat up with some effort. The bed she laid in had silk covering the bed frame. She sat up and looked at her clothing. She was wearing a white dress with a slit up the side and low neck line. She crawled out the bed.

"Where am I?"

"You're awake."

She jumped at the sound of his voice. The man she saw three years ago stood by the door. He smiled and walked towards her. She backed away as he came closer. His fingers caressed her cheek and she shuddered at his cold touch. He smiled and cupped her chin into his hand.

"You'll beg me to touch you Giselle."

"Just let me go. Please, I beg you!"

He smirked and let go of her chin. Giselle stepped away from him in fear.

"No matter what you say, it will change soon enough. Look at me Giselle."

Her eyes became unfocused. She took his hand and he pulled her close. He inhaled her scent. She was intoxicating. He couldn't get enough of it. Her pulse slowed down and he became insane with hunger. Both fangs slowly came into view and his eyes changed to red. He tilted her head to the side and plunged his fangs into her neck. The taste was like nectar of the gods. Scythe was in ecstasy. Memories flew through his mind as he drank his fill. He felt her pulse become weak and he let go of her. Giselle's body collapsed onto the bed. Her chest barely moved up and down. Scythe smirked and wiped his mouth. He grabbed a dagger off the stool and dragged it across his arm. Blood dripped down his arm and he picked Giselle up. He brought her lips to his wound.

"Now drink my love."

Giselle hesitated. She turned her head away stubbornly.

"No," she said weakly.

Scythe smirked.

"You'll die if you refuse."

Giselle squeezed her eyes shut. A tear slid down her cheek.

"No," she repeated.

Scythe's eyes began to glow angrily. He grabbed her hair roughly and pulled. She whimpered in pain.

"You will drink, whether you say yes or no. I order you too!"

Giselle fought hard to resist. Scythe squeezed his hand to let the blood drip into her mouth. She groaned as the dark liquid ran down her throat. Her senses began to return as she grabbed his hand and sucked more blood from his arm.

Scythe grunted, "Enough."

She sucked greedily and gripped his arm harder. Scythe pulled her off him and threw her on the bed.

"I said ENOUGH!"

She wiped her mouth and licked her lips slowly at him. Moments later, Giselle grabbed her abdomen. Her insides were on fire. She screamed as her body was put through indescribable pain. Scythe lay next to her.

"Your body is just dying. Don't fight it."

Sweat began to form on her forehead and she screamed louder as her body shut down little by little. Minutes passed and soon her heart gave one last beat and then she laid still. Hours passed and soon her eyes opened slowly and began to adjust. She got up and looked at her reflection. Her skin was pale as snow; her hair black like ebony extended down her lower back. Her eyes were a bright hazel. She touched her face and opened her mouth slowly. Her canines elongated into fangs. She stepped away with a look of shock. Scythe walked up behind her and kissed her neck where the puncture wounds resided.

"Welcome Giselle. You are now reborn."

She turned around and kissed him slowly. He grabbed her by the waist and deepened the kiss. Moments later they broke apart and he kissed her hand.

"Now you belong to me."

The Harvest Moon...

"Tonight, we feed!" Scythe roared through the crowd.

The vampires cheered and vanished to fill their thirst.

"My Lord."

Scythe turned around and smiled lustfully. Giselle was kneeling before him. He chuckled darkly.

"You are my creation; you do not need to kneel before me."

She stood up and looked out at the balcony. She closed her eyes as the wind moved to and fro.

"Why is this night different from any others my lord?"

"All new creatures of the night will be reborn onto this night. You must feed from the mortals. No more shall I sustain you with my blood. It shall be official after tonight. You will kill for the first time tonight and become a full vampire. Enjoy it my love."

Her eyes sparkled darkly and her fangs elongated slowly.

"I look forward to it."

He snapped his fingers and four women appeared before him.

"My lieutenants will accompany you tonight. You already know Thai. The one with pink hair and blue eyes is Angel. The one next to her with silver hair and teal eyes is Desire. The last one with purple hair and green eyes is Joy. They will accompany you tonight. Ladies, keep her safe at all cost. Watch for hunters, they are becoming a nuisance to me."

Giselle nodded and vanished with the four women without a sound.

"I think we should let Giselle have first choice," Angel offered while twirling in the moonlight.

Thai rolled her eyes and looked around the town. "I have no preference. We just need to find dinner."

Thunder clapped in the distance and lighting etched the sky. Joy's fangs glinted as she smiled. "Perfect. I love feeding in the rain."

Desire hissed softly, "Yes, I agree."

Giselle let the rain fall on her face.

"I think I see some young travelers over there by the river."

The women walked over to the young men. They were all talking around a small fire.

Angel flipped her hair and smiled. "Mind if we join you?"

The men stopped talking and looked at the women with lust in their eyes.

"You can do more than that, love," one jeered.

Angel sauntered over to the tallest one and sat down next to him. "We've been traveling for so long. It's been hard to find good people."

Thai began to whisper the ear of another man and Joy was giggling at another man's joke. Desire was kissing the other man's neck as he moaned.

"So where are you from?" the stranger asked Giselle.

She ignored him as she watched the other girls work their charm. The men were eating out the palm of their hands. The men were moaning as the women seduced them. Angel let her nails scratch against his neck.

"OUCH! What the hell?"

Angel licked the blood she drew from her fingers. "Delicious."

"What the-"

She pounced on him and took a chunk out his neck. Blood went everywhere.

"AHHHHHH!"

The other men got up as they saw Angel let go of his neck and let his body fall to the ground. She turned to them with a malicious grin; her eyes bright silver and fangs dripping with blood.

"Oh my-"

Joy jumped the man next to her and ripped his throat out. Thai grabbed the struggling man's head and ripped clean off his shoulders. Desire sliced his chest and grabbed his heart. She drank the liquid down. Screams rang out into the night. Giselle walked after the man as he ran from the feeding.

"Come out wherever you are," she taunted.

Her ears picked up his breathing easily. Thai appeared next to Giselle. She wiped the blood from her mouth. "Have you fed yet?"

"No," Giselle snapped.

"Hurry up! Don't play with your food! You need to become a full vampire tonight," Thai yelled.

Giselle ignored her and closed her eyes. Something didn't seem right. She looked into the darkness and moved aside quickly. An arrow came out of a grove of trees and hit the spot where she stood. A scream let out by the camp fire. Giselle stayed low and ran back to the clearing. The vampire women were fighting off masked figures. Angel let out a high pitched scream and tried to slash at the person. They dodged it and took out their sword. Angel jumped into the air and disappeared. Thai grabbed Desire and vanished as well. Giselle ran out into the open.

"Giselle-"

She turned around to see Joy get shot right between the eyes. Her body fell to the ground and burst into flames.

"Joy!"

Giselle's eyes became bright and her fangs came out. The cloaked figured took off deeper into the woods. She was in hot pursuit of the person until she reached a clearing. She looked around frantically. Something didn't feel right.

"Now!" a voice yelled.

Suddenly, a large, silver net dropped down on the vampire, and she screamed in pain. Her flesh began to smolder as the silver touched her arms.

"Dnib!"

Her mouth shut tightly and she couldn't scream. She looked up in fear. A dozen cloaked figures had arrows aimed at her. A woman emerged from behind the trees. Her middle and index finger pointed at Giselle. She muttered an incantation under her breath as she kept her eyes on the vampire.

"Good work Luna," a man said.

He took off his mask and stared at Giselle in hatred. With her impeccable vision, Giselle could see his eye were a dark amethyst. Luna nodded her head towards him.

"Joshua, we need to do this quickly. I can already feel my influence wearing off."

Joshua nodded his head and pointed to another figure.

"Artemis, you know what to do."

The man nodded and approached Giselle. He grinned as he injected a liquid into her arm.

"Sweet dreams."
