Chapter 5

I'm almost there, Andreios reported after talking telepathically the whole way. Krysta was glad to accompany him along the way fearing that he may get attacked, knowing that if he did he wouldn't fight back. He could fight better than humans even if he was a weak vampire but he was just too nice.

In a matter of seconds he was at the apartment door and Krysta let him in. She noticed that he changed his clothes. She too had changed into her nightgown before Andreios arrived. Nothing feminine, but a simple solid dark green nightgown made of silk that reaches just above her knees. The brothers were used to seeing her in these kinds of clothes but Krysta was surprised to hear Andreios hold a breath when he saw her. Okay maybe they haven't seen me in my nightgown in a while, she thought. She walked into her room and flopped on her bed again. Andreios walked in a few minutes later with two glasses filled with thick, red liquid. He gave one to Krysta and took a seat on the chair next to the bed. "Thanks," Krysta said as she took the glass from Andreios.

"I should be the one thanking you for letting me come here," he replied.

"So why exactly did you need to come here?"

So I could talk to you face to face.

"You could have done that when we were in your apartment," Krysta said. But she knew that he not only wanted to see her while he talked with her, he wanted her to see his mind too. For vampires to look at each other especially the eyes while talking telepathically was considered intimate or serious. Or the more common, threatening. The eyes are like the gateway to the person's mind and soul, if you conversed with a vampire telepathically while looking into their eyes they would be able to feel the meaning behind your words. They would be able to see you message clearer.

Are you sure you want to be the human in this mission? I mean it has a lot of risks involved. You should let someone else do the job, You're much better than that part. You'd fit be—

Andreios, Krysta interrupted. She answered mentally as well so he would feel her annoyance. Did you come here to tell me that? She was angry now. Look, I think I know the pros and cons of my decisions. I don't need someone reminding me. Especially not now.

Sorry, I got carried away. I just.. Andreios paused. He smiled weakly then. Actually I came here to say.. thank you.

Krysta was silent. She knew what he meant but was not going to acknowledge anything. So he continued. I mean, thanks for saying that about me. I... it means a lot to me... for you to say that... Krysta nodded, Andreios did not press on the matter anymore. He decided it was all he was going to get out of her. He settled on another topic. "When do you think they'll block your memory?"

"I don't know. Maybe as soon as possible."

"Aren't you scared?"

"Andreios, since when did I wear a sign that said 'talk to me, because I'll talk back'?" Krysta was irritated but at the same time pleased of the effort he made to make conversation. Andreios smiled but he felt bad because he was shut down again. He remained silent.

"But since it's only you and me," Krysta spoke surprising Andreios. "Of course, I'm scared. Who wouldn't be? Just make sure you don't tell anyone." She smiled weakly.

"But what are you scared of?"

"You already know. You're thinking it right now. I'm scared of loosing my memory, my beliefs. But most of all I'm scared of being weak."

Weak? Andreios spoke mentally this time so Krysta would know that he was there for her. That he would listen to anything she said.

I have spent most of my life molding myself to be as strong as possible, learning that only the strong survive and to loose all I know and all I am would leave me weak. I would be vermin to any vampire. The silence stretched after she had stopped speaking telepathically. "But," Krysta continued verbally, "one of the reasons that I wanted to take the role was because I didn't want either of you to be the human. It wouldn't be safe. They could do anything to you—"

So you decided to be the human? Andreios interrupted astounded. You decided to be the martyr and look out for my brother and I? I don't get it Krysta!

"Who said you had to Rei? I want to do it! I thought you, of all people, would understand. I guess not." Krysta stood up and walked out of the bedroom and into the tidy, royal blue kitchen to return her glass. She was furious and had to do something yo calm her nerves. When she returned Andreios still hadn't moved but he looked regretful.

"Krysta I'm sorry," He began. "You're right I don't have to get it, I never did. I never had to because I believe in you." Krysta took in what he said and sort of nodded to tell Andreios that she had heard him. "Thanks," she muttered. But Andreios continued, "there's good in you Krysta. I feel it. That's why I lov—"

"There is one thing I should tell you," Krysta changed the topic by warning her visitor. "I read into Grizzly's mind. He's hiding something about the mission from us."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I don't trust them."

"Have you figured out what he's hiding?"

"No. I decided not to wander around his mind. It was a bore, he is a pig inside and out," Krysta declared poking her tongue out in disgust. "Besides, I thought I'd like to figure it out myself. I did warn Grizzly before we left."

"Hmm.." Andreios thought about what Krysta had just said.

"I just thought someone should know before they block my memory," Krysta continued. "And make sure that they just block the memory, not erase it. Geez... now that thought scares me." Andreios made a faint laugh.

"You know that I wont let them do anything to you that you don't want." He paused and looked out to the balcony. "You know... I care for you Kry—"

"You better go," Krysta barged in. She didn't want to hear Andreios' sweet words. "Vasili will be worried. It's getting late."

"Vasili," Andreios spoke slowly. "Isn't in the apartment." He smiled at her. "But you're right. I've been here for a long time. Thank you for your company Krysta." Krysta searched for Vasili with her mind. It felt like invisible tentacles stretching away from her mind as she searched for a mind that matched Vasili's. Andreios wasn't lying, Vasili was out partying in a nearby human club where he could drink from the petty human girls.

"You know that I'm always here for you Krysta. You can tell me anything. Okay?" Andreios said, his face sharp and serious. "I'd do anything just to know you're alright." He turned around and walked out the bedroom. Krysta followed behind him thinking of something that she could say that wouldn't be too nice or too mean for Andreios. She ended up saying, "I'll see you tomorrow Rei. Take care on the way home." She smiled showing her perfect white teeth. He smiled back then left.
