Author's Note: Okay so I'm back. Many thanks to all who have reviewed. I've been reading some other fics and noticed that some of them respond to the reviews, and so since I actually have some extra time, I'm going to be doing that. Anyhoot, on with the story, I'm not quite sure where this is going but a big thanks to Lariren-Shadow for helping me sort out my ideas! That's about it for now, except for some more talking at the bottom.

Two Worlds: My Choice
Chapter Two
Spotting Caryn from up above in her night sky, Sarah slowly descended and landed in the shadows of the trees. Shifting back into her human form, she emerged from the darkness coming up behind the Witch, slowly. She enjoyed the new sensations surging through her bodies. The fact that she could follow someone – in complete silence. It gave Sarah a new confidence that she hadn't had before, she was the predator now.
Sarah shook herself. What was she thinking? Caryn had been her only friend after she had lost her bearings being a Vida Witch. Sarah would have to make sure to keep her vampiric instincts and urges in check. She was still Sarah, just more alert and… dead. Turning her attention back to Caryn, she noticed that the Witch had stopped up ahead and was talking to another woman. Sarah's senses tingled, she recognized the aura immediately. Smoke. What had Caryn done now? Her mother had exiled her and stripped her of her title as a Smoke Witch, what more could they want with her?
The two Witches talked for only a short while longer until the other's gaze shot towards Caryn and rested on Sarah. The Witch's face turned into a glare as she realized what Sarah was. But then a look of confusion clouded her features, Sarah inwardly grinned. She wouldn't organize the aura of a Vida that was tainted with vampiric blood, not this early in it's stage at least. Sarah could tell that the Witch was no more than seventeen years old, the same age as Sarah would be if she were still alive. Wanting to test out another power she had always envied, Sarah shot a mental message to the Witch.
Run along home now. Sarah taunted the Witch. The girl did not respond, but only uttered something more to Caryn – which Sarah did not care to try to listen in on – and then turned and left at a brisk pace. Caryn, who had not paid Sarah any mind until now, turned, her face neutral. Dammit! Sarah thought, it was hardest to read anyone when they had such a good control over their emotions. Caryn didn't move from her spot, but thought so Sarah could catch what she said in her mind. Well are you just going to stand there? Caryn's thought echoed in Sarah's mind. Sarah could tell she was agitated, and probably already knew what she had become. Ever since Caryn had channeled Aubrey's aura she had become more aware of the vampiric race.
Sarah just shook her head, wondering if the entire Witch and Vampire community knew of her change. Walking ahead, she realized just how silent her footsteps had become as she approached Caryn. "Nice friend you got there." Sarah said coolly, neutralizing her expression.
"Do not get any ideas, you may be a vampire now, but that doesn't give you an excuse to act like an animal in front of me," Caryn replied curtly. Sarah was a little surprised by her reply, but in truth, thanked Caryn for her words. Sarah needed to be reminded of the Sarah Vida she had once been. Was she even that girl anymore? Sarah decided then that she would need to keep contact with Caryn, the Witch may be the only thing that could remind her of her humanity.
"Understood." There was a hint of mockery in Sarah's voice, but mainly, she needed someone to help her through what she was going through. Yes, she would have Kristopher, and Nikolas. But she needed someone who knew her before she died, before she became a creature of the night.
Caryn nodded. "Good, now, if you need somewhere to stay tonight I can lend you an apartment I use." Caryn offered. Even though Sarah had become a vampire, she still appreciated the simple acts of kindness. She could tell that Caryn was pissed with her, and Sarah knew that she would have to talk about the whole thing with her later. But for now, since the transformation had taken a lot out of her, she just wanted to rest.
"All right." Sarah's reply was simple, but Caryn accepted it. So the Witch led the vampire away into the night. Both kept their distance the entire time.

Author's Note: So there's my second chapter. I know that I'm not really heading anywhere, but I've sort of formed the idea of a plot in my head. And I think that I will have a few more characters come into play, not exactly sure who, but there are a few ideas popping around in my head right now. So with that said, I would love your feedback on this, so please do not forget to drop off a review!
