Part 10
"Love is never any fun when you can't hold on... It takes you to places you never knew you wanted to go."
===========================================

(Dark room)

James had the end of the knife pressed into the upper part of Nat's chest. Her chest was bared and a line of blood dropped down her chest to her legs. The pain was washing over her, she was fighting to keep her tongue as she took a deep breath, wishing that he would stop. She could feel the wanting to cry was burning inside of her. She knew she had already lost a lot of blood, she was getting weaker by the minute

"Tell me, why does Donovan me to play with you? What has he have planned?" James said as if it was to himself. He brought the knife to his lips licking the blood from it, as he pulled another chair to face her's. He smiled pulling on the ropes just a bit to make sure that

"I don't know," a weak sound coming from Nat's lips.

She could feel the very tip of the knife moving slowly down her skin. She felt the knife bite into the soft skin of her breast. Her shirt had been cut open and her blood was all over it. As the knife moved in slow movements she knew that James was toying and playing with her.

She didn't like it. She was scared. She tried to fight the pain that was coming from within her.

As the knife went slowly into her flesh, her mind went back in time. This must be how it felt when she cut into all those dead people. She never knew that it would hurt like this.

The first time she had cut into dead flesh was that of an old woman. She couldn't sleep for a week. Now this was like her work was coming back to haunt her.

The knife was the tool of pain and like the people she had cut up, she too was dead.

"You have sweet smelling blood, did you know that? Hmmm... Donovan won't mind if had a just a taste of you... You smell so good..."

James bent down to take a taste. As he did someone hit him over the head.

A woman stood in front of Nat. Her dark hair going over her face. As Nat looked at the woman she knew her without even hearing the lovely voice.

"It's you...," she said before she gave up to the pain and blacked out.

'Yes, it's me...' Janette thought bitterly to herself.

===========================================================

Gina looked into Nick's eyes, "Nick... Nickie? Can you tell me something?"

"Yes?" Nick's voice seemed cold and almost sickly. "What do you want to know," he said, saying each word out and long.

Gina looked at Lucien. Her words filling his head, 'Whatever is done Lucien just let it happen. Don't worry about me.'

Lucien was only a little worried why Gina could do this. Just try to answer with a short 'yes'.

"What I want to know is what did Donovan say to you when he took your soul?"

Gina knew she was playing with fire. She also knew that Donovan had used his blood to make Nick his. She could now see it in him. She also knew that once she called him on it, he would go mad. This is what she was counting on.

All he needed to do was to take her blood without her will. That was all he needed to do. She looked him in the eye using her powers against him. Making him see her as just a girl, something to eat.

"You drink human blood now. Why don't you just take mine..."

She opened the top of her dress slowly going down to the top of her chest. Her skin was pale and looked so sweet. This is what Nick wanted. She closed her eyes.

"If you take my blood, it will not be by my will. You will take it by force..."

Nick was on her then as his arms held her. She fought him. She never liked the feeling of vampire fangs going into her skin.

========================================

Lucien couldn't handle this now. Nick was again taking way a woman he had feelings for. Something told him it wasn't time to pull his son away from her. He needed to wait.

He didn't have to wait long when he heard a small voice tell him now. He pulled Nick away from Gina. She fell back and laid her butt on the cold floor. She was crying but looked fine. He wished that he could say the same about his son.

A small beating sound was coming from Nick's cold chest. Then it got louder and louder. Until it was a normal heart beat.

Lucien couldn't believe it. Nick had finally got his wish. He was human.

His eyes turned to Gina. She seemed to be fine. Yet there was no heart beat again. Why was this? Why did she have no heart beat?

"Lucien," it was her voice calling to him. "You need to bring him across again. It's the only way to save him. If he turns human like this with Donovan blood still in him, he will go mad even more. Please Lucien do what I say."

So for the second time Lucien LaCroix changed his son to the vampire he was supposed to be. He only hoped that Nick would someday forgive him.

===========================================================

Gina walked away from the Raven as her Lucien was changing Nick back to his vampire self. She knew where she going... to Donovan. It was the only way he would leave her alone.

She had a second reason to leave... For now Lucien knew what she was. Something that's not vampire, not human or even a half of either.

Her kind was the only thing that could bring a vampire back to the human way of life.

She had walked about five miles before the vampire that was flowing in her finally took her to the man who wanted to end her life as a day walker.

Love, Family and Hate - Part 11
By Lilly Rose
The darker the day the lighter the night
========================================

The vampire was a new one. That's all she knew. Gina studied the young vampire. She knew like the others this one had died and was brought back. This is what Donovan liked to do. But something about this vampire made her uneasy. The look in his eyes made her think of a wolf clan. She knew his blood well. She knew how to get him. More than that she knew his tongue.

"Ktmh ug ycif bmaq? Ktqrq ug ycif otmb?" she said in the vampire-wolf tongue. (Meaning: What's your name? Where is your clan?)

The vampire-wolf looked at her with his dark eyes.

"Keana teaza eek talal?" (How do you know this tongue.)

"Pmujmp," he said his name slowly and proudly, which just meant Daivid.

"Pmujmp, Ktqrq ug ycif otmb."

Again she asked after his clan. This was the way of the wolves. You always talked of the clan before the other things, no matter how important.

"Pqmp."

Dead. She knew how it felt to think you're the last one in your family alive.

"U ma gcffy," she bowed her head as she said she was sorry.

"Pc yci gdqmw htq hcjbsq cr tiamb." (Do you speak the tongue of human's? Easy words.

"Yqg, Yes. Why do you talk to me? Am I not bringing you to your death? To your Pampht?"

He still felt odd about her being able to use the words of his clan.

"I only want to know who is taking me to my Pampht. Would you fly me there. Dqase? Please?"

***************************************

Donovan sat looking out the window, so long he had waited for this day. When he had killed Gina's family he found out the key to vampire rule. To take Gina's blood without her will would make him human but if he took it with her will, she would become the most powerful vampire anything has ever known.

The wolves called them, Tqxdqfg, which means 'helpers'. For the wolves and vampires did not get a long.

The 'helpers', were supposed to rid the world of vampires. It didn't work.

Her kind, was older than time. They were as old as vampires. Some say Gods made them to even old the killing of the vampires. Some later called them Angels or Healers. They became few. The vampires had won.

Now it was his turn to kill a 'helper'. He would make her his. He always wanted her. Her blood would be sweet. Before she showed no weakness. But with the woman he had within his hold she would come and he would have the most powerful vampire within his hold. His child. In vampire law she would have to stay with him.

***************************************

He felt her as she entered his office, as he turned around he saw the blood on her blue dress. What had happened?

Gina's sweet voice filled the room, "Htmbw." This was thank you in the wolf's tongue. Where did she learn this? To his knowledge Gina knew nothing of this.

"Hello Donovan," Gina said as she walked over to the old vampire. "I see you are still very weak. Is this what's it about? You wanted the blood of a willing 'Tqxdqfg', of a helper. Tell me Donovan, why are you so one minded. If I am alive there must be others."

She couldn't believe she said all that and a bag of chips.

"You are the last my dear, I made sure of it. Oh, don't look so worried, I am not a mean master. I'll take care you better than any other. Did you not think that I would do this sooner or later. I told you many times..."



Gina had just ran away from Donovan after a big fight.

It was cold out among the trees. The air made Gina lungs hurt from trying to run for so long. Tears came to her eyes and that made it even harder to see in the dark. It was all wrong; her life. She was doomed to become a vampire like Donovan had said.

The fight was the last one she told herself. She couldn't hold on much longer. If she stayed with Donovan then she would never learn what she was and what she must do.

Trees and more trees that's all there was. No, open space. It was like being trapped in the dark room all over again. She had to stop, but she knew if she did, the vampires would get her.

Any other 8-year-old would know that vampires were not real. But she knew the facts. Vampires were and so was the hunger they had.

A light was meeting her up ahead. She stopped running, walking slowly as if, this would make less sounds.

Her eyes had finally stop tearing when she saw the old wolf. It was feeding on a dead deer. Something in Gina told her not to be afraid. She stood still, just waiting. Then it happened, the wolf changed to an old woman.

"Whose there?" The old woman asked. "Come out." The old woman smelled the air.

Gina stepped from the trees, "Don't eat me... Please... I don't think you would like me... Donovan says my blood is too sour right now... Please don't eat me."

"Slow down child, I don't eat children. Come here."

The old woman was just a little confused about the child.

As Gina got closer the old woman smelled the evil of vampires.

"What your name child?"

"Gina... Miss Wolf-Lady," Gina said.

She had never seen a werewolf. So there are more than vampires in this scary world of the night.

"My name is Eve, where is your parents?" Eve asked wondering why a human child would be left alone.

She may not eat young ones but she knew those who did.

"There is only Donovan. I don't want to back to him. He's mean. He makes me stay inside all day, then in school all night. Plus he wants me to be like him..."

The old woman, Eve held up her aged hand.

"And what is Donovan?" Eve asked trying to understand this odd child.

"Donovan is a vampire... He's an old one... I don't like him..." Gina just kept going.

Eve's mind had stopped when Gina said vampire. The vampires were the evil ones. All wolves hated vampires with a great fire.

"You don't want to go back to him? Never?" Eve asked this to test the child.

"He says I am to be the strongest vampire in the known world... I don't want to die..."

The tears came back to her sweet face.

Eve put her hand on Gina's upper arm. "You can stay with me, child."

"OH! Thank you Eve!"

Gina started to jump up down.

"Don't call me Eve, you are part of my clan now. Everyone calls me Grandmother."

She hugged the child and hoped that she could save this child's soul.



Gina put her hand to her head, it hurt.

"That wasn't very nice Donovan, stay out of my head."

She moved to the chair on the other side of the desk. She sat down and put her feet up on the desk.

"Are you ready to become a vampire? Or do you think the good doctor should die first?" Donovan hit her feet from his desk.

"Only if you give me your word that you won't harm any of them. Let them go, don't hurt Nick, Nat, or Lucien. They mean nothing to you. You don't need them any more."

She stood up and for the second time tonight she put her hands on the top of her dress.

"You may have me if you let them go... I'll come to you without fear."

Donovan looked over at Daivid, "You may go."

Gina watched the vampire-wolf leave. She felt his pain and knew how he felt about Donovan.

As the vampire-wolf left someone walked past him and entered the room. It was a lovely woman, someone that Gina had never seen before. Something about her seemed... Well, did Gina know her? She knew she had seen her before.

The way that the woman walked in with her head high and her lovely pale face moved into an almost evil smile. This was a lovely woman. She moved past Daivid and walked right to Donovan. Looking right in Donovan eyes the woman said something so low that Gina had to count on her powers to hear.

"I have the doctor you have lost, she is my child and I will not let you kill her."

The woman slapped Donovan and at that moment of time turned to Gina and looked her over. "This is what you want, this is what all the pain and loss was about. She's nothing more than a child. You are a fool Donovan. You are the king of fools."

"You better hold your tongue woman or I'll teach you your place." Donovan yelled at Janette. He had saved her from the fire death.

"I know my place. You seem so strong, but I know the facts. Your nothing but a weak dog..." Janette yelled.

"Weak?" Gina asked.

Turning to the lovely woman.

"You have Nat... Take me to her... Nick needs her." Gina looked upon Janette, as she moved forward maybe she could turst her she did say that she had nat. "I need to see her. It's important. Please... I am sorry I don't know your name."

"It's Janette and that is what I was planing on doing. Come now before this fool makes me sick." Taking Gina's hand she pulled her to the door. Pulling out a knife she put it to Gina's neck. "Come after us and I'll kill her."

End of Part 11


Part 12
IS THIS THE END OF THE WORLD OR THE END OF LOVE?
================================================

Janette pulled Gina out of the room. Gina couldn't help but feel afraid. The knife was too close to her skin. She wished that Janette would take it away. Janette really didn't need it.

"Come on child, just a little more... We just need to make it to the door," Janette said as if she were talking to herself. It wasn't that far but if sure felt that way.

As they neared the door, Janette used her powers to go the rest of the way. She took Gina into the night.

****************************************

Nat sat at the table where Janette had left her. She took another drink from the bottle of human blood in front of her.



She felt Janette had come back into the small house. She knew there was someone else with her. Moving so that she could see, she walked to the little door that led from the kitchen to the living room.

"Gina?"

****************************************

Lucien made his way to Donovan's office. Nick was right beside him. They were coming to save Gina and Nat from Donovan's evil hold. They would kill anyone they needed to. Kicking in the door, Lucien walked into the office.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Donovan yelled as Lucien went at him with a stake. He didn't understand why the vampire was so mad. "What the hell do you want?"

"Where is she? What have you done with her?" Lucien said holding down the old vampire.

"She's not here, she's gone..."

"What do you mean she's GONE... If you have harmed her in any way..." Nick said cutting in.

"Janette took her, they left," Donovan said looking at the mad vampires.

"What about Nat, where is she," Nick yelled again.

He didn't want to remember the look on Nat's face when he helped Donovan take her away.

"Also with the lovely Janette," Donovan said with a maddening tone.

"Where can we find this Janette," Lucien asked the old fool.

Donovan moved to write down Janette's address.

"This is where she lives, when you see the whore tell her, that I'll make her pay one day..." Donovan said with an evil smile on his old face.

With that Nick and Lucien left to find this Janette, who ever the lady was.

****************************************

Nat and Gina hugged.

"Nat, I am sorry that Donovan did that to you. Have you talked to Nick yet?" Gina said giving Nat the once over making sure she wasn't to hurt, then agian she was a vampire now she could heal and was most likely be tooken care of by Janette.

"No, the last time I saw him he knocked me out and then I was Donovan's. I don't understand what really happened but I don't think he did it on his own. Do you know why he did it?" There was fear in the doctor's voice she knew that her beloved Knight at that moment was not himself.

"He was under Donovan's spell so to speak. Donovan used his blood to get into his head. He would have done the same thing to you. I think he used Nick because he was weaker. It was easier to use him and bend him to Donovan's will." Gina said feeling some what smart as she did so.

"I know why I am a vampire now and how I know how to save Nick. Janette brought me across and then we left for a place where I wouldn't see her. Then she told me what to do. It's almost as if everything was planed from the start," Nat said.

"Well, I guess that explains something's..." Gina said.

****************************************

Lucien moved with the speed of a vampire, running though the unlocked door.

The pieces of the wood door flew to the floor. A very unhappy Janette spent forward. "All you had to do was knock... Men, they never learn." Janette walked away her head turned up with a noble air to it.

Gina turned to see Lucien, something made her feel all warm inside.

Seeing Janette was too much for Nick. Then seeing Nat was like seeing an angel, his angel of the night. Taking his angel of the night in his strong arms he kissed her.

This was the kind of kiss she had wanted for years. The kiss that woke her from the long sleep of loneliness. And now she only wished that there weren't so many people in the room.

*****************

"Gina?" Lucien asked.

He needed to hear her sweet voice. Needed her to look at and smile. That smile would make him feel weak. What was happening to him? Why did he seem to go weak everytime he saw her. Why did he need so much from his young child?

Gina turned her head and looked at Lucien. Just having him say her name alone made her head spin and made her want to run into his arms as Nick and Nat were doing now.

"Yes, Lucien," she said in barely a whisper.

"Are you well?" His voice was filled with feeling that he wanted to say but knowing that if he did he would scare her away.

Knowing and feeling, what Lucien LaCroix was feeling. She started to walk towards him. "I think we are family now Lucien. I don't know what that means right now, but I think at least a hug is in order, don't you?"

Gina hugged Lucien. Letting herself feel for the one moment in time what it felt like to have someone love her.



Gina closed her eyes letting herself be stuck into this time and having a good feeling about it all.
