~ I love you all. This is in Chaos & Anna POV. For those of you who haven't figured it out, this is about Anna from my story Predator. Krikoris, it took my friend a while to catch on too. This is for NizzHobbit; you said you wanted more Gabriel; so I'll give you more Gabriel. Enjoy. *Upon the request of homeskillet, I have revised my chappie to make it seem more painful for Anna (I really forgot that turning into a vampire was supposed to hurt. Oops). ~
~Chaos~
As we appeared, Anna looked around in a daze. I had taken her to Midnight. Gabriel owed me, big time, so I would leave Anna under his care. I had helped him out of a nasty situation involving Dominique Vida about thirty years ago. I had yet to ask him to return the favor; so I would now. I would make sure that he made Anna feed. I could feel the hunger in her. Yet, she was so hell-bent on not being anywhere near me when she fed. Anna hated me almost as much as my brother did, and still does, really. Changing my brother had already been a bad decision, I did not want to feel as if changing Anna had been another, but I would not let her die either. My aura hugged the girl's own aura, smothering it. This would allow me to make her submit to my will; I would make sure that she came into Midnight with me. One wrong move on her side and I would reach into her mind and make her follow me into the vampiric building. She looked around curiously as if it had oddities within it that she had never seen. She stopped jerkily which made me stop; I was ready to make her walk if that was needed. Her aura was shocked, actually it was only partly shocked, and the other part of her aura was recognition. I knew she would be able to figure out where we were now; being a witch and all, I was sure she had heard of Midnight. A boy was being beaten in the hallway. Coincidentally, the vampire beating the slave was Gabriel. He had a malevolent habit of being a tad bit on the abusive side. I walked toward him and Anna followed obediently, as if she were a slave. Gabriel's interest went to Anna. He raised his eyebrows. I was not surprised at his initial shock; I had told him that I had given up on contributing any vampires to the vampiric community. I had given up on that goal about three hundred years ago.
"A new fledgling, Chaos? I thought you had given up on having a line of your own." He dismissed the small boy. Although he did it with a snarl and a threat. "If you 'slip up' again I will not hesitate to beat the life out of you. Do you understand, you pathetic mortal?" The boy nodded and limped away, his blood dripping from his nose. I felt the disgust in Anna's aura. I also felt her desire and longing for the boy's blood. Her eyes followed the boy, the lust visible in the black spheres. She did not like Gabriel very much, especially after that whole scene. She eyed Gabriel and he was watching her as well. Although she was glaring and he was just looking at her inquisitively. I smirked; the girl was so aggressive.
"Gabriel, she doesn't enjoy my company. Will you be her company for a while? I don't want little Anna to be lonely." Gabriel grinned at the girl's reaction to this; she took a swing at me. I laughed and she scowled. I thought vaguely to myself that if Gabriel had found her before me, he would have fallen for her easily. He liked women who would try to kill him.
"As long as the girl stays out of my way, she can stay here," was Gabriel's response. I could tell that he wasn't overly thrilled about this, but he would do it anyway; I was too powerful of an enemy for him to handle. 'Make sure she feeds Gabriel. Thanks.' And with that I willed myself away, hoping that everything would work out.
~Anna~
"Anna, is it?" I nodded and the vampire named Gabriel continued. "Well then, Anna, welcome to Midnight. I do not want your friendship; I am simply fulfilling an agreement made between Chaos and myself. If you interfere in any affairs here, I will throttle you. Any questions that retain to the layout of Midnight or the guests?" Welcoming, wasn't he? My head was still pounding with bloodlust from that poor beaten and bloody boy. My mind tortured me with images of blood. Oh, what I would do for that blood that tortured me so. My mind snapped back to the question Gabriel had asked.
"Anyone I should avoid?" Gabriel laughed dryly. "Everyone." I threw him a confused glance. He was not looking at me though. His eyes were upon some of the slaves that were scattered about remodeling. Each of their heartbeats echoed in my head, creating an even beat. I craved the blood that was being pumped through their veins and arteries. I actually felt sympathy and pity for their poor souls. What had any of these...children done to get placed into Midnight? Gabriel must have felt the pity and sympathy in my aura because he turned to me and said, "Oh and Anna do not feel pity for the slaves or you will be weak prey, just as they are. I have no respect for vampires that baby humans. Example A." I followed his cold glare to a vampire with long black hair and tan skin. He looked quite exotic, but he did not look like a vampire at all. Well, at least to me. Most of the vampires I have encountered have been frigid, but this vampire looked quite warm. He was talking to a boy around twelve or fourteen years of age. The boy was nodding vigorously and the vampire kept giving him directions and orders. The vampire must have felt our gazes on him, though mine did not hold the vitriolic properties that Gabriel's did.
"What do you want, Gabriel?" the vampire asked warily. The boy that had looked comfortable around this vampire paled to a snowy white color when he saw Gabriel. I think I would too; I had seen him deliver a beating. Although, I could tell that the boy wasn't exactly accustomed to us vampires. He had not been here for that long. The boy then looked at me and, if it is possible, paled further and felt more terrified. His fear seemed to ensnare me; the hunter is always drawn to the prey's fear.
"Nothing, Jaguar. I was just giving my opinion of you to young Anna." Jaguar looked at me and shook his head. He disapproved of my presence in his domain.
"I told you not to invite the Silver vampires here. We don't exactly have the same views." Despite the insult, my eyes were still on the boy standing next to the vampire called Jaguar. His heart was beating quickly and had my complete attention. Gabriel didn't seem to care about my bloodlust.
"Surely it is not a problem that the cruel, demanding leader of Midnight can not handle. Besides, the girl is of little threat to you Jaguar." Jaguar looked a little agitated, but he said nothing.
Seeming to take Jaguar's silence as the end of the conversation, Gabriel walked by the vampire briskly and I followed. As I walked past the young boy, I almost lost control. The only reason I did not stop was because Jaguar's narrowed eyes were on me. I wanted so badly to sink my teeth into that child's soft flesh. I pushed away the feeling, though it was still present. I felt a slight sense of relief when we left the hallway that terrified boy had been in. I could not deal with that temptation. I followed Gabriel and he pointed out various places to me. The slaves in the other places weren't scared of vampires at all. I assumed that they had been in Midnight for as long as they could remember. I was grateful for the lack of fear in the humans. I wasn't drawn to them as I had been with that boy. Gabriel took me to the West Wing and showed me where I would be staying.
"Anna, get cleaned up. I will have a servant bring you some clothes. Will you require anything else?" I shook my head. My head was pounding painfully. Gabriel left and I went into the bathroom to wash the blood from my hair and my pale skin. I attempted to wash the lingering sense of guilt and bloodlust off as well, but they would not leave me. It was as if those emotions were attached to my very soul. The steaming hot water felt exquisite on my body that felt so cold and lifeless. When I got out of he shower, clothes sat in a chair beside my bed. I pulled them on. They were really baggy. After putting my clothes on, I laid down in the bed that would be my own for tonight. I was exhausted and hungry, but I was still reluctant to feed. I did not want to kill. My sleep was filled with anger, hate, and pain the very emotions that had marked me for doom.
