Okay, here is the next chapter. Let me know what you think.

Chapter 10

He stared at the sleeping girl in his bed with wonder and lust in his eyes. He had waited so long for this moment that now that it had finally arrived, he couldn't quite comprehend how he should follow with it. He didn't want to come across as too forceful or too evil to her, he wanted her to know that he adored her and loved her and he didn't want her to fear him. He hoped that he could get her affections differently but now that it was done, he couldn't take it back. He will just have to hope that once she sees how much he cares for her, she will develop her own affections towards him, and they will be just as happy as he had always imagined.

He stopped thinking about the future when he saw the girl stir on the bed. She didn't look like she was fully conscious so he stayed where he was, in his large chair in the far corner of the room, right across from the bed.

While she slept his thoughts brought him to Lilith. He was still surprised that she had turned out to be the traitor. He had a feeling it was someone, but never in his wildest dreams would he had thought it would be her. She had always spoken freely of her hate towards the angels; she had always talked about all the ways she would make them suffer if they ever got in her way. But this? This was something else and he couldn't understand how it had gotten this bad.

She stirred again, and this time she lifted her head up and opened her eyes. She couldn't do much of it because of the high dose of sedative he had given her, not to mention the memory potion, so she wouldn't remember who she was and who he was.

She looked around a little confused, and he saw the fear in her eyes, no doubt about the fact that she couldn't understand where she was. He got off the chair and walked to her bed, where he sat down next to her.

"Shh, my love, it's alright, your home" – He said to her softly.

"Home? I don't… I don't remember. What happened?" – She asked, rubbing her eyes with her hand.

"Nothing happened; you must have hit your head before. How does it feel?" – He asked her.

She moved her hand over to her head and winced when she felt a tender spot. "Yeah, I must have" – She said.

"How does anything else feel?" – He asked her.

She thought about it for a minute, moved her arms and legs but didn't look like she was any pain. "Everything is fine, nothing hurts" – She said looking at him, "Who are you? You seem familiar but my mind isn't working properly".

He laughed at her comment and looked at her seriously, still contemplating if he should go through with the plan or not, but in the end decided to play the part.

"I'm Dante, and we are together, living here, ruling the minions" – He said to her and waited for her reaction.

"So that's why I feel so comfortable with you, I knew you were someone special to me" – Marcie said with a smile and wrapped her arms around him, in a hug.

Dante stiffened at that, he wasn't expecting that reaction from her, he half thought that the memory potion wouldn't work on her and she would scream and attack him but when she didn't, he relaxed and wrapped his arms around her too, enjoying the moment.

"So, where is everyone?" –Marcie asked Dante, when she pulled away from their hug.

"Busy, we had a break in and a prisoner escaped, so now I have to deal with the aftermath of that, take care of you and interrogate a traitor." – He said to her and smiled.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" – She asked him.

"Would you like to come downstairs and help torture a traitor?" – Dante asked her, completely joking.

"Sure, why not, sounds fun" – Marcie answered, shrugging her shoulders.

"You are too weird for your own good" – Dante said, getting up and helping her on her feet.

"How long have I been out?" –Marcie asked him, when they were out the door.

"Not too long" – Dante said, and noticed that everyone was playing their roles perfectly. Whenever they would pass a demon, he would bow his head in respect to their new queen, just as Dante requested.

"Why are they doing that?" – Marcie asked.

"Does it make you uncomfortable? I can tell them to stop, if you wish" – He said.

"No, it's not that, I can't explain it, it just feels somewhat weird" – She said.

The had reached the large door behind which Lilith was chained, and with a final look at Marcie, Dante opened the door and watched in amusement how shocked Lilith was when she saw her sister standing in front of her.

"No! Don't bring her into this, she has nothing to do with this, please Dante, don't!" – Lilith yelled.

"I assure you Lilith, I am not doing anything to her, she wanted to come down here by her own free will, didn't you darling?" – He asked Marcie who was standing just a few feet away from him.

"Yes, why wouldn't I?" – Marcie asked, looking at Lilith.

Lilith was taken aback by her sister's response. She knew he would have done something to her but actually turn her into a killing loving bride of his? She knew he was evil and dangerous but psychotic? This is too much.

"What have you done to her?" – Lilith asked Dante, not taking her eyes off of her sister, who was just standing there.

"As I have already said, nothing." – Dante answered casually.

"Marcie, look at me, look at me. Do you know who I am?" – Lilith begged her sister to recognise her.

Marcie studied the woman in chains, but gave no reply. She simply went to stand by Dante and held his hand, linking their fingers together.

"No! Marcie, don't. Please, don't go to him" – Lilith cried.

"What did she do?" – Marcie asked Dante.

"Helped with another prisoners escape, so now she has to pay and we need to know who she works for and why betray us" – Dante said, "Would you like to start?"

"I was thinking maybe we should just leave her here for a while, let her think it all over, maybe then she will be more forthcoming with information" –Marcie said, still looking at Lilith.

"Good idea, we shouldn't waste our time on her. You go ahead, I will see you soon" – He said to her and she nodded. She was just at the door, when Marcie turned her head around and winked at Lilith, letting her sister know that she isn't as lost and everyone thinks she is and that their plan is still working.

Katie was standing outside the house where her father had told her lives the vampire boy with the demon dog, as she liked to call them, and tried to figure out how to present the news to the boy when she saw an angel appear and the demon dog get all happy with his arrival. She watched them talk fro a while until they both finally left. She came out from her hiding place and felt that the boy was in the house. She slowly made her way to the door and knocked. She knew what was going to happen to him, she knew how sleepers usually reacted to the news that they were part of the undead-dead race and that they were now expected to drop everything in their lives to follow orders and safe the same beings that put the dreaded vampire curse on them in the first place.

The door opened and she saw that the boy was quite cute, even for a sleeper.

"Hey" – She said, with a smile. The last thing she needed was for him to freak out even before she told him the news.

"Hey." – He said back.

"I'm Katie" – She said.

"I'm Jake. Are you here to see Grace?" – He asked her.

"No, I'm here to see you actually. Can I come in?" – She asked him and he moved out of the way and gestured for her to come in.

"You are very trusting of new people, how do you know I'm not going to attack you?" – She asked him inside.

"I think I can take you" – He said and laughed.

"I doubt that but if you want to think like that, sure go ahead, knock yourself out" – She said.

"So, what brings you to me?" –Jake asked, and only then realised how silly his question sounded.

"Do you believe in vampires, Jake?" – Katie asked him with a raised eye brow.

"Sure, why not" – He said, humouring her.

"Don't be a jerk, it could cost you" – Katie said, in her sinister tone, but that only made him laugh.

"Oh I'm so scared of a little girl" – Jake said and in a second he was slammed into a wall with Katie's hand around his neck.

"You were saying?" – She asked and showed her fangs.

"What the hell?" – Jake breathed, both hands on Katie's arm trying to pry her off.

"Like I said, vampires are real, and you and me are one of them" – She said and let go of his neck making him fall on the floor, and gasp for breath.

"How did you do that?" – He asked her, panicked.

"So you are going to be one of those huh? Okay, listen up, you are a vampire, I am a vampire and right now I need to activate you so to speak because we need go save a few angels from demons." – She said and watched him.

"What the hell are you on? I am not a vampire, you are not a vampire and angels and demons don't exist" – He said back to her.

"Aha, sure, okay. I don't have time for this." – She said and attacked him once more, this time tackling him to the floor with her weight on top of him and holding his arms above his head. She bit into her wrist and smeared it across his mouth, making sure only a little bit went in, than she got of him and watched as he was trying to clean his face but after a moment it worked and he started yelling in pain.

"Try to relax, it will be worse if you fight it, it will be over in just a moment" – She kept repeating to him, while she was kind of holding him so he doesn't hurt himself.

She remembered when the same thing had happened to her. She was so scared and in so much pain, it felt like her whole body was on fire. That day changed her life forever and even though she is happy now, she wasn't then for a very long time.

"You can let go of me now" – Jake said and she realised that she hadn't even noticed that he had stopped screaming.

"Oh, right, how are you feeling?" – She asked him.

"Starving. Is that normal?" – He asked her.

"Very, let's go get you some food" – She said and took his hand. They went outside and she let him have time to focus on his new senses, she could see how he was looking around at everything and taking in the different smells, "Pretty cool, huh?"

"Yeah, you could say that" – He said and they ran to the forest for a hunt.

They found a few animals and Katie showed Jake how to do it fast and painless for the animal. He didn't like it at first but she explained that they aren't allowed to eat humans so this was the best they could get. She told him that she didn't like the rules either but seeing as they used to be part of the human race, it would be weird and after a while you just get used to it.

I sat in the room, waiting for Dante to come back. It's going to be harder than I thought pretending that I don't remember anything but him and that I love him. Not because I fear him, but because I might actually fall in love with him. But I know I can't, I have to keep reminding myself that he is evil, and awful and that I should not love him at all, because if we plan to get out of here all alive, I better not let my feelings for a monster get in a way.
