Chapter 6

I woke up next morning very sore, but as usual in two minutes I felt good again. I guess Mitzi was a good fighter, if she made me sore the next mourning, but defiantly a bad loser.

I went downstairs to see who else was up, on this gloomy sunny day. And to my surprise they were all up. "Good Morning Sleepy head" giggled Mina. It was then that I first looked at a clock, it read 1: 03 in the afternoon. "I guess your little fight last night tired you out," said an unfamiliar voice.

All of a sudden Raye appeared in thin air. "What do you want? And who gave you permission to enter our house?" I spat. "Nothing I'm a new vampire, and I thought I'd get to know some other vampires" she said. I broke through her mind barriers easily, I found she was speaking the truth, and she was more scared than ever.

"Well this is Amy, Lita, and Mina," I said softening my voice. "Hello I'm Raye, and I heard you guys liked to help new vampires" she said bowing. "Sure we love to help you Raye, if it's okay with Serenity" Amy said. "It's fine, you can stay here as long as you want" I said, "Your room is 1st on the left, and you can decorate it anyway you want" I said. "Thank You, but I don't need to stay here," she said. "Yes you do, when they help you out it's best you stay here, otherwise they could pop-up any time" I said, remembering a person who didn't stay with us. "Alright then" she said.

Raye went upstairs and got her room set up. When she came down, she and the other girls all started getting better aquatinted, I just read a book. "Hey Serenity want to go shopping with us?" Mina asked. "No I'm fine, thank you" I answered. "Oh come on, or else I'll tell Raye what you did when you first became a vampire" she threatened. "You wouldn't dare," I said. "Wouldn't I" she said making eye contact. "Fine" I said knowing she was deadly serious. "But I'm driving".

"You have a car!" Lita said. "Yes several actually" I said. "Where did you get them?" Amy asked suspiciously. "Well I wanted to see what humans have accomplished over the years, so I went to college and got a job, and worked my way up without my powers" I said. "Then why did you stop?" Raye asked. "Humans aren't that dumb, they do tend to notice I don't age, so I quit and bought stuff with money" I answered.

I watched their faces light up, at the thought of how much they could buy. "You're not touching my money" I said coolly, and watched their faces drop. "You can earn your own," I said. "And by the way, at first I didn't have access to my fortune" I said. "Then how'd you get all this?" asked Lita. "Well you see I didn't need the money at first, but then I decided to spend a little, and when I went to go get it. The bank said I couldn't because Serenity must be 63 by now. So I manipulated their minds in to thinking I was her granddaughter," I said. "And after all that there is no way I'm letting you use my money" I said.

I watched them all grab the newspaper and look for a job, while I laughed my head off. 'And yet another successful plan, that gets me out of shopping' I thought continuing my book.

I finished my book an hour later, only to find Raye the only one here, other than myself. I walked over to hr and asked, "So how do you like it here?" "It's great thanks for letting me stay," she said. "No prob. But may I ask how did you get stuck in this world of darkness?" I asked. I watched her face pale, and then regain some of its color before she answered. "My grandfather was killed by a vampire named Dager." "He killed him and then offered me eternal life. I declined the offer but he wouldn't listed and he turned me into one" she started crying. "You don't have to finish" I told her giving some sympathy toward her. "No I've always been taught its best to get things off your chest" she said before continuing, "My mother died when I was young and my father left, so my grandfather took care of me. But the thing I feel most terrible about is what he would think of what I had become. He was a priest, and kept me from the darkness, and as soon as he dies I become the darkness" she said painfully. "Ya know I felt the same way when I was transformed, but Mina an Lita both taught me that vampires aren't all evil. True we are creatures of the night, but that doesn't mean were evil. Just don't listen to a witch they think we are all evil" I laughed. What I had said seem to cheer her up a bit.

The girls came back later all in gloating because of their new jobs. "Hey Raye why didn't you go get a job?" Mina asked. "Because I inherited my grandfathers fortune," she said. "Besides I wanted to get to know Serenity a bit" she smiled. All the girls looked at me each had the expression; you lightened up to her that fast. "Yes we talked a bit, and now I'm going before I get any paler" I said thinking of my need for blood. My face had paled some because of the lack of blood. The other's appeared to have fed before they came home. "I'm going to feed to, I'm already pale as it is, and besides I want to here what Serenity did when she first became a vampire" Raye laughed as she watched my face pale, at the thought of that event in my past.

We disappeared together, but went to feed in different places. I had found a thief who tried to mug me, and even though I hate feeding on thieves, my hunger for blood was strong. I was about to go home when I heard a voice. "Interesting fight you and Mitzi had, I hope your past experiences with her have been settled". "What do you want Dager?" I hissed at him. 'Well I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd toy with you' he said, in a child like voice in my head. "Leave me alone Dager!" I said getting frustrated. "Alright, but I'm in the mood for a little fight, so when your ready come and be my prey again, come on it will be like the old days" he said sheepishly.

I didn't answer him, I just left, but not before stopping at a store to pick something up, that I had ordered earlier today, when Raye started reading my book. I had suggested she read it because a) it would be good for her b) I had to distract her.

When I came back I found all of them laughing senseless. "You told the story didn't you?" I said, my eyebrow twitching from annoyance. "Sorry Sere, but you weren't here and Raye wanted to here the story" Mina said in between a laugh. "HaHaHa, Very funny" I said. Now let's get some sleep, especially you Raye" I said. "Hey don't order me around" she yelled. "It wasn't an order, if you're gonna be a vampire you at least must know how to use your abilities" I said not in the mood to argue. "Fine" she said in defeat.

Even though we all went to our rooms, none of us fell asleep right away. Amy read a book, Mina listened to a CD, Lita practiced fighting, and Raye was checking horoscopes. I however was pacing in my room thinking about what Dager had said. 'Why would he challenge me, once he's defeated someone he believes he is stronger and will never have to worry about that person. Unless someone told him something about me, and he decided to get rid of me. But that doesn't make sense why would Dager be afraid of me?' I thought. It was four in the morning before the need to move died out, and sleep took over me.

I woke up next morning fresh and early. I went downstairs and left the mansion. I liked to take a walk in the morning, and haven't been able to do that in awhile. I stopped be a deli, and ordered donuts to bring home. Even though we've excepted our fate, and who we are, the girls still tended to act like a human some days. That was the only thing I despised about them, I couldn't stand humans sometimes. Even though I know my hatred comes from jealousy. I'm jealous that they have pure and untortured souls, that I lost because along with my humanity all those years ago. All vampires have been turned against their will, and it takes them awhile to except it.

I came back; to find everyone was awake. Then we all sat down and had a quiet breakfast.

Hi I hope you like this chapter. I'm sorry but I cannot tell you what Serenity did that was so funny. (What did you think I was going to stop writing this fic.) I can't think of anything, except that she threw a pie at the king of francs, but my friend says that was to weird. I was just a little hyper, ok more than a little. And to Dani a.k.a. Sailor Midnight, I'm sorry that I did that to Mitzi but you asked me to put your character in the story and I did but I got to choose what happened to her. And besides I hate the name Mitzi (No Offense to anyone) why do you keep using it? Ok sorry had to say that to one of my crazy, insane best friends. (No Dani your are not sane) I hope you like this chapter and continue to read it. Please review even if you didn't like it. (And yes I know untortured isn't a word)
