Rena: CHOCO! What took you so long to start writing again?

Choco: I dunno, my brain just went black!

Rena: Well at least you've restarted. FINISH SOON!

Choco: I'll try. No promises.

Scarlet: Yu can't push her if she's got nothing.

Rena: That's true... Hey wait! How did you get here?

Scarlet: I hang with Choco. I'm always around her, I'm just quiet.

Rena: Oh.

Choco: Thank you Scarlet. Thank you.

IF you've never had to sit all day in your bedroom, perfectly healthy, with nothing to do and unable to move around, let my give you this advice- NEVER try it. It bores you to insanity. I know this because, after IU got out of the hospital, that's exactly what I had to do.

I tried to sleep, and discovered that no matter how hard I tried, sleep escaped me. I was afraid to move around, so I was stuck in front of my computer all day.

I tried walking around, and discovered that I made almost no sound. Yet another new development. Finally, at around four, Scarlet saved me by getting home.

I heard her downstairs getting a snack, & then heard her footsteps. She walked along the hall, then stopped and opened my door. She peeked in.

"Come on in," I called out to her. Mom had left about half an hour ago for something. She stepped into my room, her face a mask. She sat down in the edge of my bed and stared at me. I stared back. We were silent for a while.

"What?" I finally asked her. "What's wrong?" Scarlet stared for a moment more, then answered

"So, your really here then. The story wasn't a dream." I felt incredulity flicker inside me.

"Why would you think that?" She flushed slightly.

"Well, it IS kinda hard to believe. I mean, jumping three stories onto solid concrete and being totally fine?" I laughed.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." I did. I had often questioned the same way, wondering if I was hallucinating. I didn't tell her that though.

She sat with me and we talked, about school; and home. At 6 dinner was ready, and Scarlet went downstairs after promising to bring me something.

I thanked her, though I wasn't at all hungry. I flopped onto my bed after I turned my computer off and stared dejectedly up at the ceiling.

Finally, around nine Scarlet returned, meat and bread with her. She didn't stay long. I looked at the plate and felt something like revulsion.

What? It was stake. I loved steak .At least, I had. But now it looked horrid to me. I tried a bite, and found it not terrible, but not delicious either. I ate it all, a large meal, and was still hungry. I pondered this. I* still couldn't sleep.

Around eleven, I heard a tap at my window, followed by another. Remembering the creature at my window, I was reluctant to go over, afraid of what I would find.

I opened my window, and looked down. I flinched back-it-was the same creature. It raised its hand again, but I wasn't afraid. I had the oddest feeling that it wouldn't-couldn't-hurt me. Yet again I heard that velvet voice, but it appeared even more beautiful than it had before.

The man stepped into the light again, and he was just as I remembered him, with a few changes. I could now see that his eyes were blue, with grey in them. Flecked with grey, they were intense. I could see that way the light bounced off of him. The man smiled a dazzling smile. "Ah, young Light. We meet again. Light. An odd name for a creature of the night." I was confused.

"What? How am I a creature of the night? I'm no different than I was a week ago." The man laughed, amazing bell sound.

"There, young Light, you are wrong. For you have been altered in ways you cannot imagine. I see that you are confused. Come down and I will explain to you. I know how confusing being a newborn can be."

I hesitated, and then timidly asked, "If i come down, will you attack me again?" The man laughed, then was serious.

"No, I give my solemn oath that I will not hurt you."

For some reason, this was enough; i shut my window and made my way down the stairs. I met him on the deck again, and he was lounging against a post. He came to stand in front of me.

I faced him and asked, "What have you done to me? WHAT?"

He stared, then said, "I have given you new life, for I have changed you into a glorious new being. I let you join the world of the night. In simple words, I made you a vampire. Though you may not believe in vampires, you are one,. So if you don't believe, you'd better drop that fast." I was silenced.

I was given two options. Either he was right, and my entire world had just been thrown of it's axis and I was a vampire, which, I had to admit, would explain a lot, or he was a nut job. Also a possibility, but that meant that I was hallucinating, and so was I. I chose to believe him.

"So, if you made me a vampire, why have you returned? Did you fail to kill me, and have come back to finish the job?" He laughed quietly.

"No, I made no mistake with you. I did not try to kill you, and have come back to offer you a place in my coven."

"What?" Okay, he'd lost me. I was gone. He ignored my question.

"Everythi8ng would be explained. So, what do you say; will you join me?" His stare was intense.

"Give me some time," I pleaded. "Let me think it over." He nodded.

"Very well. I will be back in three days. Be ready then. I will take you or leave you." With that, he sprang off into the night.

Rena; YOU FINALLY FINISHED! IT TOOK YOU FOUR MONTHS BUT YOU FINALLY FINSIHED A NEW CHAPTER!

Choco: I know! Yayz!

Rena: What broke your epic writers block?

Choco: A week at bible camp and apparently sitting in an airport is a good way to help your creativity.

Scarlet: Well, who'd have guessed?

Rena: We're in an airport?

(Choco and Scarlet stare)

Choco: We've been here for the last four hours. It took you this long to realize that we were in an airport. Wow.

Rena: I wasn't aware of my surroundings.

Choco (sighs and shakes her head): Rena, Rena, Rena.
