Chapter 4
By: mistude
Hey all!! Sorry it took so long to update!! By the way for the sake of the story I had Heather changed, (originally she was only blood-bounded). Also thanks for all your lovely reviews!! Now on with the fic!!
Cassandra was Heathers first name, so any references to Cassandra are really Heather sorry!! Thanks essence!!
He lay down and fell asleep listening to Heathers dying heartbeat. Kaleo woke when he heard a moan. Heather was beginning to regain consciousness, which would be difficult enough. He change had not been easy at best; also a new fledgling was racked with blood lust when they woke. Many times the sire would bring the girl to his throat for her first meal. Heather moaned again this time audibly, and painfully.
Kaleo sighed and drew Heather to himself. Pulling out a blade he gently sliced his skin at the nape of the neck. When Heather smelled this instinct took over. Leaning forward she licked the cut gently. After a moment the wound was completely healed. Desperate for more of this delicious food she brought Kaleo closer and pierced his throat. (When a fledgling first wakes they don't remember anything) This liquid soared through Heather giving her strength, as well as a link into Kaleo's mind.
Images came fast, to fast at first for her to understand, as she drank slower she learned about her mysterious sire. Kaleo, growing up in England about three centuries ago, his family at a picnic, and one last image. Actually a conversation, taking place right before he was sired.
"You have no choice!" A female voice cut off a very human Kaleo as he lay on the ground obviously dying.
"So I could choose to die." Kaleo retorted smiling at the vampire Heather recognized as Kendra. Wasn't she a fledgling of Siete? Suddenly she was reeling, her head was spinning and she couldn't see or hear. Finally she felt the bed underneath her and sighed. Wait a bed; I was on the floor when I got knocked out, why am I still alive? What's going on? I can't even hear my own heartbeat…
"That's because you no longer possess a heartbeat, no vampire does." Kaleo smiled when he saw the effect these words had on the former witch. After a moment she spoke, "You… How… I don't get it… Where am I?"
"Yes I sired you, you should be able to understand, and your in my room laying on my bed." Kaleo answered simply. "You cant fight what you are, and you can't change it, so don't make me have to force you to hunt." Kaleo stopped Heather in her tracks near the door.
Kaleo stood up and finished his little speech "You have no where to go, your family would kill you and you wouldn't be able to survive with Single Earth methods." He brought himself over to where Heather was standing and gently took her hands in his. "I sired you in order to prove to you that vampires aren't all evil, and we aren't mass murders. Killing yourself… Hmmm…. You're not strong enough to fall on the knife, and there are few other ways, so unless you have a plan I suggest that you let me help you."
Heather glared at him for a moment the sighed. Without a word Kaleo brought her back to his bed and they sat down together. He touched her mind and took back all the images she saw while drinking from him. Once this was complete Heather sighed brining the thought bubble Kaleo had developed around him crashing down.
"Alright." Heather answered glancing over to the elder vampire. "If you can teach me to hunt without killing I'll stay." Heather seemed unsure but calm.
"O.k. I'm going to teach you to hunt without killing, then what? Kaleo seemed amused about her hesitation.
"Then we go from there." Heather answered smiling.
Suddenly a large crash echoed from the downstairs hall brining the discussion to a close. Running toward the sound Kaleo and Heather stopped in their tracks when they saw Shade, one of the most feared vampire hunters of the time. "Hello sister." Shade smiled at her sister Heather, and drew a knife, preparing to attack…
