Chapter 11

Deserah's head ached. The pain seared through her fogged mind like light does to darkness. She went to move her hand to her head, but her hand was restrained.

She opened her eyes and saw the vampire who took her pacing. She pulled at her restraints, trying to break them but to no avail.

The vampire stopped pacing and faced her. She knew he was a Redfern. That much was obvious, but he looked familiar. The name Teak came to her mind, and she knew that he was the one that sent it to her through telepathy.

"Why did it have to be you?!" Teak then said, making Deserah jump at the harshness of his tone, "I thought you were a witch or at least a werewolf! But a human?"

"What are you talking about?!" Deserah said yelling over the crazed vampire.

"Soulmates!" Teak said spitting out the word like it was evil itself.

"What does 'soulmates' have anything to do with anything?" Deserah said with a confused look.

"I can't be your soulmate," He said ignoring what Deserah said, "1 I'm a vampire, your a vampire slayer. they don't really go together in the first place, because you kill my kind and I kill yours and 2 Vampires aren't suppose to love humans, I'd be killed anyway." Teak said in desperation, "Which is why." he stopped then and grabbed her hand.

It was if lightning had hit her. She was flung out of her world and into an icy abyss. ~It's easier to explain this way.~ Teak said

*What the. what are you doing to me?*

~It's the soulmate connection, we are bound to each other. we can't be together though. if I change you, you'd kill yourself, If I love you as a human you'll either kill me out of hate or they'll kill me. So I decided to implant my DNA into you!~

*You what?!?!?* Deserah said in shock. She didn't know whether she should slap some sense into his mind while she was there (and she knew she was in his mind) or just leave it right then and their. *How!*

~You heard me.~ Teak said ~you can't get rid of it now because it's already in you~

Deserah got the image of Teak as a boy watching his father playing around with a plant's leaf cell. She watched in flashes as the years past and his father showing Teak his first successfully cloned plant. The years past again and Teak, at ten years old, watched as his father split the DNA of a human to see what was in it. At this she pushed the scene away.

*Your father taught you* Deserah said more in wonder then anything else.

She saw Teak nod, and then the scene of him taking his hair cell and splitting it to extract his DNA came to her mind. She saw him stick a needle into her abdomen and suck out one of her eggs. She then watched through his mind how he took out her DNA and replaced it with his. Then she watched as he implanted the fertilized egg back into her system.

*I still don't understand why..* Deserah started only to be cut off.

~The night world is one of my big issues.~ Teak said, the look on his face broke Deserah's heart she knew she had to reassure him.

*Teak don't you see, the night world CAN'T hurt us. If we love each other.*

~But you don't understand!~ Teak said ~I can only love a night worlder. well really a vampire, but I can get away with loving a witch or a shifter~ He babbled, ~But a human I can't get away with!~

*Teak.*

~No Deserah~ Teak cut her off ~If I love you, I will be tortured, and you. you won't want to be a vampire. am I right?~

Deserah sighed *Your right*

~So the only way we can be. is my clone.~ Teak said as if that would solve everything.

*But what about you!?* Deserah pleaded.

~What about me?~ Teak asked a bit confused.

*I have your clone. what do you have of me?* She said pleading to him, hoping he would get rid of his stupid plan.

~Well I could have.~ The thought was cut off and a searing pain entered into Deserah's mind. She barely heard Teak's last though, which was ~I've been staked! Take care of my clone.~ Then her mind went blank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

I'm sorry if this offended anyone. I would just like to say that I do not believe in cloning. I got this idea when in religion class we started talking about the reasons why the church doesn't want cloning. and it got me thinking. what if Teak gave Deserah a clone of him. again I'm sorry if this is offensive or even if I stepped off into left field a bit. (or a lot.)
