Lookie! I'm updating quicker then before, lol Anyways thanks you guys for all the wonderful reviews, I really enjoyed reading them. You guys rock! So this chapter is for you guys! But first, to answer a few things to reviewers and such!!

SetosAngel: Hiya! Just like to say, I love receiving your many reviews! They are always so cute, and put a smile on my face. Now, no, not because Serenity is a vampire she won't be able to see Joey. She will be able to see him. So, you might see a bit of Joey in the near future!

bluefiredragon4131: Yes, vampires do have blood. It's what they use to make other vampires usually. Once they bite, they let the victim drink their blood, hence turning them into a vampire as well.

Dragons of Life: Yes your idea did help. Thank you very much again!

Kikoken: This chapter is dedicated to you! Why? Because going over all my chapter reviews, you have reviewed each one. You were with me from the start, and I really appreciate it! Thanks, so I hope you enjoy this chap! It's for you! –Hugz-

Chapter Twenty: Let It All Sink In

She slowly opened her eyes, blinking a few times to get used to the light in the room, and also so the objects would stop spinning. She had a splitting headache, and she felt horrible. She slowly moved to sit up, her eyes finally adjusting to everything. Her light brown eyes looked around the room, realizing for the first time she wasn't in bed with Kaiba like she had last remembered being.

Where am I? She wondered to herself as she slowly stood up, stretching. She felt so tired, like she hadn't slept in days almost.

"I wonder if I should wear red today. It is my color" she heard Pegasus say.

She blinked, looking around the room. No one was there. "Pegasus?" she called out into the room. When no one replied, she shrugged it off, thinking it was something from her imagination.

"I wonder when she'll wake up" she heard Marik say.

She looked around the still room, to see no Marik. "Oh my God, I've gone insane," she whispered to herself when she saw no one. How come I keep hearing things, yet no one's around? She thought.

Slowly, she began to walk over to the door, hoping to find someone and to explain everything to her. Why she was here, and why she was hearing them speak when neither of them had been around. Half way towards the door, she stopped as she watched the door be flung open.

"K-Kaiba?" she said softly, looking up at him.

He simply glared down on her. I hate you he thought angrily, looking down on her. He didn't really know if it was a lie, but he wanted it to be true. He wanted to despise the woman he saw before her.

She blinked. "Why do you hate me?" she asked, slowly anger coming to her voice. "Hate me? Let me remind you, Kaiba, that I never did anything to you, I should be the one hating" she replied angrily, poking him in his chest.

He smirked at her braveness. Quickly, he grabbed her finger, and whipped it away from him. "Don't ever touch me again you disgusting woma- wait. How the fuck did you know what I was thinking?!?" he hissed.

"Don't even Kaiba. You said it, I heard you" she replied, her anger slightly fading. She may have been angry, but she wasn't one to hold it. She wasn't like that.

He glared at her. "Woman, I said nothing. How the fuck did you do it?" he growled, pulling her small body to him.

"Let go of me!" she cried, trying to break free. "You did say it! I'm not stupid" she continued, and to her surprise, and Kaiba's broke free from his grasps.

Kaiba watched her. She was different. She wasn't the same woman as last night. Perhaps her being a vampire has given her strength. But that doesn't explain to me the ability to read minds he thought. Why would she be able to. . . he stopped in mid thought, as last night replayed in his mind. Oh fuck no! He hissed in his mind.

"Wh-what's wrong?" she asked him.

"MARIK!!" Kaiba screamed loudly, making Serenity cover her ears. What the hell is wrong with him? She thought, as soon enough Marik and Pegasus came running into the room.

"You fucking screamed?" Marik hissed. "Damn well almost lost my hearing because of it," she added, his lavender eyes glaring at him angrily.

"Do you know what you did?" Kaiba spoke calmly, or trying too.

"No" he spoke. "I've done nothing," he added soon after.

"Think something" Kaiba spoke. "Now" he continued when Marik did nothing.

"Fine fuck" Marik replied tiredly, wondering what Kaiba's point to all this. I think he's fucking lost it he thought. "Happy?" he asked.

Kaiba turned to Serenity, who was smiling slightly. "What?" he growled.

"N-nothing. Just saying, if Marik thinks you're insane, then you're not the only one" she spoke.

Marik's eyes widened, as Kaiba turned to him. "See?" he asked. "If you hadn't have pulled me off her, she wouldn't have the ability to read fucking minds!" he yelled angrily, his temper rising. He knew she was going to be a vampire, but to be able to read minds? To know now what he would be thinking? He wouldn't accept it.

"Well if you would have gotten the fuck off her before she would have died, then I wouldn't of had to butt in" he replied coldly.

Serenity's eyes widened, as she walked up between the two men. "What are you two talking about?" she asked, fear in her voice. "What happened last night. . .what did you do?" she asked.

Marik put his hand on her shoulder. "Serenity yo-"

"Get your fucking hands off her" Kaiba hissed viciously, making Marik take it off. "Now, Serenity, remember last night, we were talking. I gave you a choice, remember?" he asked her.

"Yes. Whether I wanted to be a vampire. . .but I don't remember my answer. . " She trailed off, trying to remember what she had told him.

"That's because you didn't give an answer. You fainted. The twins, they began to feed" he spoke surprisingly gently.

She gasped. "Oh God. . .what di-did you guys do?" she asked. She didn't know if she wanted the answer. She feared for herself, and not only that, for the two girls that were growing inside her.

"The only thing we could do. We made you one of us" Kaiba replied.

"Yes, and he almost fucking killed you too, he wouldn't stop" Marik added.

She shook her head as she moved back. "Yo-you weren't. . .you ga-gave me a choice. . .you ev-even s-said to me" she was barely able to say. She could feel tears started in her eyes. But she didn't care.

She was turned into something. A vampire. She was the opposite of one. She was sweet, caring, everything a vampire wasn't. This wasn't supposed to happen! He said he would give me a choice! How dare he do this to me! How dare he she cried in her mind, the tears finally falling from her eyes and down her cheeks.

"I know Serenity. But, you fainted. We couldn't get you to wake up. It was either that or your life," he said, a weird feeling coming over him.

"I would have chosen death over living with you! I don't. . .no!" she cried, as she let herself fall to the cold floor. She knew she looked pathetic in front of them. But it didn't matter to her. This was not what she wanted to be.

"I know that" Marik said, eyeing Kaiba before waking over to the young brunette. "But, what's done is done. There's nothing you can do about it. You're a vampire. Crying will not help you," he told her.

"Make the best of it darling" Pegasus spoke finally, in his cheery voice. "Being a vampire isn't that bad aye?" he asked her.

"Yes it is. . .gods. . .what about Joey? My brother. . .he. . .I. . " She trailed off, trying to speak.

"Get used to him not being in your life. I assure you you will live a lot longer then he will" Kaiba spoke coldly.

"I don't care! I want to see my brother. . .I need to tell him. . .everything" she spoke softly, her tears still coming.

"You'll see him," Marik said.

"Last time I checked, I was leader. I say what goes, and I say she will not see that disgusting human" Kaiba told him, making Marik's anger rise.

"If you don't take her, I will" he spoke, his lavender eyes showing clearly he was speaking the truth.

"Fine. Now. Come" he spoke angrily, grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her up. He looked down on her. "And not another episode of last time, or you will never see your daughters" he threatened her, as together they walked out, and down the hallway, up the stairs and out of their haven.

"Great" Kaiba said sarcasticly.

"What?" she asked.

"Soon I'll have to teach you to fly," he said, grabbing her as he took off into the night.
