CHAPTER 16

Li laid on the cold floor. The people that grabbed him threw him there after they were done kicking and spitting on him. He could now hear people talking in the distance. He wasn't sure where he was or if he was going to die in the matter of minutes. All he could think about was Sakura. They kissed, Li actually got to taste Sakura's lips. Sakura wanted the same thing as he did, but something stood in their way. Not really something, someone. Her mom. Li didn't understand the full story yet, he wasn't sure if he ever would. He just wished that he could see Sakura one last time and tell her. Tell her how he felt. Li continued to think about Sakura until someone walked up to him, speaking in some bizarre language. He then got another kick in the side. He was sure he had a few broken ribs. His nose was bleeding but wasn't broke. The person that stood over him said something else. This time in english.

"Do you love her Li. Do you love my daughter?" Li reseved another kick before he heard the person walking away. Laughter was heard in the backround. They were laughing at him. But for some reason, Li answered.

"Yes, I do love Sakura." Then Li blacked out.

Sakura ran through the park towards Madison's house. She didn't want anyone really involved but Sakura knew she couldn't do this herself. She needed some help. She finally reached Meilien's front door. Without hesitation she banged on the door forcefully. After a few moments the front light came on and the door opened to show Meilien in her PJ's looking at Sakura as if she was crazy.

"What in the fuckin' hell are you doing Sakura. Do you not realize..." But Meilien was cut off when Sakura pushed past her and into the house. Meilien shut the door and turned to Sakura only to see her covered in her own blood.

"I need you help Meilien." Sakura said sadly. Meilien walked up to her and looked at her cuts and scrapes.

"What happened to you?" Meilien asked but Sakura quickly shook her head.

"No time, can you help me or not?" Sakura said rushingly. Meilien nodded quickly.

"Of course I can help you, what's going on?" Meilien said grabbing Sakura's hand and leading her towards the bathroom to where Sakura could get cleaned up.

"Li's been kidnapped and before you get histarical, I know who did it." Sakura said wiping the blood off her face. Meilien folded her arms.

"Who?" Meilien asked. Sakura sighed and looked at Meilien through the mirror. At first Sakura seemed to draw back. Meilien knew she hated to talk about her past but her cousin's life was in danger.

"WHO?" Meilien pushed again. Sakura looked down and clinched the sink hard.

"My mom. I know your going to have trouble believing this but, my mom's a vampire. She use to work for the CIA on a special mission. She was suppose to end a war that involved the vampires but instead she was turned into one. She killed my father and ever since she's been after me, wanting me to become a thing like her. But I wont become a monster so I've fought off all her minions until now. They got the only weakness I have." Sakura said looking back into the mirror back at herself. Sakura looked at herself in disgust. It was her fault that Li was in danger and now she was going to fix it.

"So your telling me that your mom is a mythical creature that hunts at night and is holding my cousin captive?" Sakura slowly nodded. She should have known that no one would understand her. She had to fight this thing alone.

"So that means we're going to need stakes and crosses and garlic..." Meilien went on saying somethings that vampires were suppoes to be weak by. Sakura smiled.

"You know half that stuff is a myth. Garlic doesn't bother vampires and neither do crosses. The stake would have to do." Meilien nodded but then looked at Sakura worriedly.

"The two of us isn't going to be enough to fight off an army of vampires Sakura. We're going to need help." Sakura knew Meilien was right and she had the right person in mind. Sakura grabbed her cellphone and dialed a number. After a few rings there was an answer.

"Hello?" Someone said rather sleeply. Sakura looked at Meilien and smiled. She had a plan.

"Madison, I need you help."
