Shinzon looked at the woman.
"Who are you?"
"I am Akela."
"Were am I?"
"On my ship."
His hand went to his chest. the wound was gone. Akela noticed this and spoke.
"You died for a mintue or two but I healed you."
"A minute or two? There's no way you could have healed me in that short a time."
"Yes there is." Akela pulled back her top lip andshowed a set of fangs.
"Many speices have fangs what does that have to do with you healing me?"
"I am not just a 'species'. I am a vampire."
"I didn't know you existed."
"Not many do."
"So, why did you save my life?"
Akela sat down in a nearby chair. She looked at Shinzon then crossed her arms. He was taking this
rather well. He must have know that he was not strong enough to kill her or he would have.
"I have a proposition for you Shinzon. Hear me out, and if you like what I have to offer by all means stay
here and help me. If not, then you may leave and do as you wish. Fair enough?"
"Fair enough."
"Picard is not dead."
Shinzon stared at her, rage building up in his eyes.
"What!?"
"His android saved him. And don't get angry. You may be alive but you still need that transfusion. It seem
to spread when you get angry. Don't worry I can help you. But that comes next."
His face dropped when he heard this. He looked calmly at Akela waiting fo her to speak.
"Now as you know Donatra turned to the other side. I was on her ship and I made her beam you over
here. But, let's get right to the point. I need you to help me kill Picard. If you want to that is. And that's not
all Shinzon. I will also help you kill Donatra. She of cousre thinks you are dead and celebrates this. But I
have one condition. Don't ask about my motives. Do we have a deal?"
Shinzon thought for a moment. He would get to kill Picard and Donatra. Two of the people he hated the
most at this time. And this vampire, had saved him and given him this chance on a silver plater. He had
no remorse, among other things. but the one thng he was not without was a sense of honor at times.
"Very well. I will help you."
"Good. Now on to your health. I have enough blood here to give you the transfusion you need."
"How did you get that?"
"Oh. This is not Jean Luc's blood. But a perfect replica. Although unlike you, it has no flaws. No offense of
course."
"Of course."
"It will keep you in the state you are in now only you will have your color back along with your strengh.
Lay back down this will take awhile."
Akela took out a needle and put it in Shinzon's jugular vein. He showed no sign that he felt it. Akela was
sure that he had felt worse than this.
"If you fell drowsy, go to sleep. Just don't die agian."
He nodded and shut his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I am Akela."
"Were am I?"
"On my ship."
His hand went to his chest. the wound was gone. Akela noticed this and spoke.
