Chapter 11

The sun rose and with it so did I. It had been three nights since I changed the girl that night. She hasn't woken once since then… I guessed I might have been too late but her vital signs are normal and every day I can feel the blood lust radiate from her a little more everyday. She had been changed out of her clothes by Nataliah and Delilah because they thought if she woke to find me over her the reaction when she gained consciousness would be explosive. I worked out more daily trying to keep fit I never wanted another person to die with me so near to help.

I dressed that morning in blood red sleeveless shirt, jet black pants, and rubber soled shoes. I thought a quick dash up to the roof for fresh air would be nice so I went the window in the back of the apartment lifted the window and leaped out grabbing the widow pane with my tail to grip the wall. I quickly began running up the wall balancing my weight to keep me close before the howling wind could rip me from the steel surface.

I reached the top of the building stopping to rest my legs after the rapid movement. I stood to take a deep breath of the clean air. The sheer altitude from this high up remains clear of the pollutions the humans have brought to this planet. I'm glad because anytime at all I'd ever need to be remote and think for myself I'd come here just to clear my head. Altitude and the wind on my face help me feel free.

"I've made my choice", the strong Raize says behind me shaking me from my day dreams. I turn around to see him standing in a similar outfit of blood red leather, his sword in matching color.

"What is your choice? Have you chosen to remain with the humans or will you help me defend the vampires?" He looked down for a moment as if asking himself if he was sure of his answer.

"I've chosen to help the vampires who own this planet. They belong here and its their right to stay and defend what they own. I'll help do war with the humans and when the time comes I'll die willingly.

"Then I accept your help as a brother and as a partner. I don't have a place for you to stay yet but I can check with the lobby and see if there are any available rooms for you to remain in. We can check immediately-"

"No, I'll remain where I am for the time being. If the humans come back and capture any of us do you want them to catch us both at the same time or do you want to split the pair and have them work for they bounty?"

"I consent to that. It makes enough sense to split up for the time being… I have a question something's been on my mind for the past few days. I bit a human to change them into a vampire but I'm not so sure of what the results will be. What do you think will happen?"

He hesitated before he answered clearly he had no idea what the results will be either. "I'd guess maybe she'd turn into a vampire or perhaps a kaize. She was bitten by one of us but I'm not so sure she'd get our strength. She might get a fraction of it but there is no way to be sure. I suggest you keep watch over her maybe even train her she might become valuable in the future."

"I'll put forth an effort but she's a human and she's probably as weak minded as them too. I'll start with movement first, it is after all the most valuable weapon a raize or kaize can have. If she progresses and there is an increase in her strength I'll let you know when I can."

"Farewell I have to leave now before my hide out is found. Good bye brother." With that he leaped over the side of the building.

I went back to the apartment to find the girl stirring. I went to the sitting room to check and see if she was ok. So far she'd managed to stumble off of the couch and to the kitchen. She looked up at me in fear when I opened the cooling unit door and grabbed a mineral water. I helped her into a chair and gave her the water. She drunk it guzzling it as fast as her throat would allow in only a few moments she add managed to empty the bottle completely. She looked at me with these green eyes and they looked so heart filled so docile in so many ways.

And then she lunged grabbing for my neck I didn't fight her just yet. I let her see how far she thought she'd get before she closed her fangs on thin air. Surprising speed she'd come close to nipping me before I gabbed her hands and twisted them behind her back. Holding them with one hand I used my free hand to place the hook of my thumb against her neck. She immediately stopped moving arching her neck to protect her windpipe.

"Good now that I have your attention I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Raize… I'll release you now so that you can tell me yours", I said letting her windpipe go and releasing her hands.

She inhaled the breath she'd been holding and turned around with the docile green eyes again. I'd already seen by the way her fangs stayed out that she'd need to spend a few weeks in the school I'd went to before she'd be street safe. I wasn't as surprised when she looked to where I was staring and retracted her fangs as I was when she said her name. "My name is Lynn."

"Lynn? ..." I ran to my room and found my recorder and replayed the last recording. "5'5, green eyes, black-brown hair, slim, slightly pointed ears, almond eyes, hair that stopped at the small of her back, pianist fingers, small mouth, small nose."

The Lynn from my dreams the one I saw right before I died in my dream is the exact Lynn in the kitchen. I rush back into the kitchen and grab her by the hand and takes her to Natalia's quarters. She needs clothes and training and I've got no time to waste.
