Author's note: *This chapter is a bit slow but I assure you chapter 3 is
going to have a lot more action. * Thanks to every one who has written a
review. I will take what you have said into consideration as I write this
fic. And I don't own Mutant X or any of that stuff. Only 'the vampire' is
'mine.' Please read and enjoy. (The time set is season 2 by the way.)

"Emma, Adam wants me to take your place for awhile," said Jesse as he walked into the room.
"K, have fun." Said Emma.
"Oh, I'm sure I will." Said Jesse sarcastically as Emma began to leave the room. She smiled. Jesse sat down where Emma had been sitting. "So I guess it's just you and me."
"Why wasn't I able to hit you?" Snapped the vampire as soon as Emma had left.
"I can phase and mass at will." Said Jesse not thinking that it would do any harm if he answered her question.
"Do all five of you have gifts like that?"
"You sure are full of questions." Jesse looked at the vampire and noticed her eyes where not red any more and paused. "Why aren't your eyes red any more?"
"Answer my question first." Said the vampire forcefully.
"I already answered a question. I think it's your turn." Said Jesse lightly.
The vampire's eyes flashed red again. "Answer my question first."
"Sorry, it's your turn to answer."
"I'll just find out another way then." At that the vampire moved to the farthest corner of the dojo. "I wish I could have killed you when I had the chance."
"And hopefully you won't get another chance." Said Jesse.
"Don't worry I WILL, one way or another." Said the vampire with an evil smile.
"We'll see," said Jesse calmly.
The vampire moved to the corner nearest Jesse. "We shall." After that it was quite until Shalimar came to take her turn to watch.
When Jesse was gone Shalimar sat down in the chair that was there. "So what brought you here?" She asked.
"I came here to make a kill, feed, or to slaughter someone." The vampire paused. "Witch ever you prefer."
"I'm sorry about the accommodations. If you ask me no one should be put in a cage."
"But yet you do not release me? Are you afraid of what that Adam will do to you if you do?"
"I'm not afraid of him. Why should I be?"
"If your not afraid of him why do you let yourself be his SLAVE?"
"I'm not a slave, Adam is my friend!"
"Ha. Friend? You mean you trust him? Trust is blind and can be broken in a blink of an eye. Don't waste your time; only serve the ones you fear not the ones you trust. Trust is irrelevant to survival." The vampire urged. "You're a fool to trust."
"I don't care what you think. I'd trust Adam with my life."
"But he couldn't even save Brennan. If it wasn't for Emma he would have died a painful death."
Shalimar's eyes turned yellow as she stood up. "Don't read me."
"Oh no the cat is getting mad." Mocked the vampire coolly.
"I'm NOT a CAT." Spat Shalimar. Just then Emma walked in.
"Shal calm down. Don't let her get to you. You're giving me a headache."
Shalimar started to feel guilty. "Oh sorry Em I didn't realize that.,."
"It's ok, no problem." Reassured Emma. She directed the next thing she said to the vampire. "I wouldn't toy with my friend's head if I were you, because I just might toy with your mind." The vampire was going to say something but she stopped her self. Instead she backed down and just let her eyes glow red. "Brennan should be coming soon to take his turn."
"Hey Em you didn't have to do that." Said Shalimar.
"Well I did. If someone can read your mind that means they can find you darkest secrete or just other small things. And then they'll torment you as long as it stays interesting. I don't want any of my friends to feel that torment."
"How do you trust someone so much that you dare to call them a friend? In my world a friend can cost you your life." Piped up the vampire.
"Well you don't gain someone's trust over night. You have to earn it." Answered Emma, wondering why the vampire had calmed down all of a sudden. "And in this world a friend can save your life."
"I have to kill to survive. I have to blend in with the shadows and be seen only when I need to lure my pray in for the kill. Another would only get in the way. I'm an outcast that will live till the end of time in darkness. I'm a creature of the night as mortals would say. And when I meet with my own kind." She pulled a dagger that had a silver alloy blade from somewhere near her foot. "I hold this tight. No mortal would dare to attempt to befriend me." The vampire stopped and watched Adam come up the steps.
"What if I told you that you don't need to kill to survive?" He Asked.
"I'd say you were a fool to think that."
"Every mortal is a fool to you from what I have observed." Said Adam calmly.
The vampire lunged bitterly at him with the dagger now in her right hand held high, ready to strike. But she remembered the force field and stopped before she hit it. "YOU ARE!" Adam flinched slightly.
"Maybe, but on the other hand maybe not." Said Adam. "So back to the last topic. If I could find a way for you to survive would you would you try it?"
The vampire was quite for a while before she spoke. "I don't really have a choice. It's ether that or die in here."
"What if you had a choice? Go back to killing to get by, or trying to survive without making one more kill?"
The vampire took an even longer time to think this over. "I would still try what ever you had in mind."
"Good. I was hoping you would say that. Now, you survive on the plasma or in other words the blood of your victims right?" Asked Adam. The vampire nodded. "That's what I assumed. I'm going to make some calls. You should get some rest it's 1:15 PM and I assume you are nocturnal. Oh and do you have a name we can call you by? So we aren't saying 'hey you' to get your attention."
"Names are irrelevant to a vampire. The only reason I use your name is because to a mortal their name is important. I told you that you are a fool."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean any harm in that question."
"Whatever." Was all the vampire said.
