"Dacowa, where is she?" a tall gawky elderly woman said as she walked into the house. Dacowa smiled mischievously while he spoke "She is in her sleeping chamber, Kortas." Kortas was Dacowa's lady. They both were vampires and they were about to make a vampire out of the girl Dacowa brought to their home. "Did you bite her, yet?" Kortas asked out of curiosity. Dacowa looked at her for a good 5 seconds and said, "Well darling, not yet, but soon. I don't think that she is ready for it yet." Kortas thought about the girl she saw in the bathroom. "May I go look at her?" "Why of course." He said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Cat awakened from the deep sleep that she was put into. She wanted to scream out for help, but she could not find her voice to call out. Just behind her she heard footsteps coming her way. The door creaked open and a woman stood staring at her as if she were an animal. Finally the scream came out of her. As she screamed the man she saw before she saw darkness walked into the doorway. "Shut that child up!"
The woman covered Cat's mouth with her hand to smother the screams. Cat was furious with the woman and the man, and bites the woman's hand. The woman screamed in agony. The man leaped on her and drove his teeth into Cat's neck and Cat fell onto the floor in a heap.
Dacowa stood to leave the room. Kortas who was cradling her hand asked, "I thought that you said she wasn't ready to be bitten?" "She wasn't, but now she is one of us," Dacowa whispered "and let her rest. She is harmless and quiet when she sleeps."
Kortas stopped Dacowa as they walked out of the room. "Why her and not her friend…Frog I think it is?" Dacowa didn't even hesitate to answer that question, "Because she is much stronger and once we get the thought of me being her master through her thick head then nothing will change her back." He laughed for a while and walked to his sleeping chambers.
Back in Cat's room she awoke to dead silence. She grabbed her neck while trying to stand up straight. She was in a complete stage of dizziness. As she pulled her hand away from her neck she saw blood. Her neck and her teeth hurt. Now why the hell are my teeth hurting so badly? Little did she know that what she was becoming was her worst nightmare.
The man she saw earlier walked into the room. He looked at her with his dark brown eyes that made her skin crawl. For a long time they stood there looking at eachother. Dacowa was the first one to speak, "I am Dacowa DeMoinlles, and do you know what I am?" Cat looked at him thinking What am I? Is this a trick question? "A freak that bites?" No one moved for a while before Dacowa spoke again. "No, I am a Vampire, and so are you, too." Cat looked at him with one eyebrow arched, "Right, and I am really suppose to believe you. You are just some low life freak that doesn't know how to deal with your own life so you go pick on someone like me so you don't feel half-bad about yourself. Now I believe that." Dacowa tried to control his anger. "Now, when I bit you do you have two holes or do you have all of my teeth imprints on your neck, and do your teeth hurt at all?" Taking in all that he said she still could not believe what she was hearing. Felling for the bite mark she only found two holes, and she felt for her teeth. Maybe he is right? No, stop and think about what you are saying. This is mad.
She sat still for 5 minutes and Dacowa stood to leave. "Wait!" Cat yelled because she didn't want to be left alone. "You just got done making fun of me and you don't want me to leave? What else do you have to say about me?" When Dacowa finished he saw the surrender in her eyes. He knew better than to take advantage of her now because she still didn't trust him. She was a child who could not get taken advantage of easily. He had to win her trust first.
Cat saw something in his eyes that made her skin crawl again. She didn't like the feeling that he had something planned and she didn't know what it was. "How long am I going to stay here and why am I here?" "Well, if you cooperate with me good then you will get out of here sooner than you think. You are here because there is something about you that draws my attention." Dacowa looked her straight in the eyes when he said that. Cat didn't like the sound of him saying that she draws his attention, but she wouldn't let him see that she feared what he said.
When Dacowa left Cat laid in the corner of the room thinking about cooperating with him so she could go home soon. She didn't want to see her parents yet. She was still mad at them for going through her room. All she wanted to do was to see her friends again. In her head she decided to do what he says but when he lets her go she will make him go through hell. She thought and thought until she fell asleep.
