Authors note: I am very sorry I took so much time to post this chapter. I
was camping with my family for a week and then it was my b-day (I'm 14 now)
so I really had absolutely no time to sit down and write for like almost
TWO WHOLE WEEKS (ugg). But now that it is here you may read and enjoy.
P.S. Thanks to all my reviewers so far. They are greatly appreciated.

Emma began to explain. "You see, she 'visited' me in a dream a little while ago. And no madder how hard I tried I couldn't wake up. Jesse heard me speaking in my sleep and went into my room and woke me up. Maybe she was concentrating so much on keeping me in the dream from the inside. That when an outside force interfered (In this case Jesse) it woke me up, therefore breaking her concentration and causing pain."
"Well I do have to say that sounds a lot better than anything I had come up with." Admitted Adam. "Do you want me to see what I can do about those dreams you're having?"
"No. I don't think you could find a way to help with that."
"What are you going to do then? Not sleep until the vampire either stops or something else happens."
"Sounds like a plan to me. Can I go now?"
"Fine, I guess so." Sighed Adam. Emma picked up a hint of annoyance in his voice.
When Emma left the lab she went to go find Jesse. She found him in the kitchen. Jesse looked up from his plate of food when he heard her come in. "Hey Em. What did Adam want?"
"Oh when you pulled me out of that dream it must have caused the vampire a considerable amount of pain. Adam just needed me to figure that out for him. I bet the only reason that he actually asked me to look at that security camera feed is because he thought I caused the pain on purpose." Said Emma grabbing something from the fridge and sitting down next to Jesse.
"Em, you have to forgive Adam for not believing you. He is only human."
"I know. It's just I don't think he will choose to learn from the incident. And that annoys me." Said Emma.
"Well we can hope that he will learn from it though." Pointed out Jesse. Emma smiled. Then she glanced at the clock and sighed.
"It's my turn to watch. I better go or Shal will be on my back."
This time Jesse smiled. "I should go work on those ID's for Adam."
"See you later then." Said Emma getting out of her chair.
"Hopefully sooner then later." Said Jesse. Emma smiled again and then left the room and headed towards the dojo.

It was quiet at first, nether the vampire nor Emma said anything. Finally Emma spoke up. "You said a while a go that no mortal would dare to attempt to befriend you."
"What of it. If a mortal found out what I truly am they would turn and run." Replied the vampire.
"Well I haven't ran yet neither has anyone else here." Pointed out Emma.
"No Instead you keep me LOCKED UP in this new age CAGE."
"Only for our safety and yours." It was quiet for a few minutes. "I would dare to befriend you."
"Don't fool with me MORTAL. I don't like jokers."
"I'm serious. I know deep down you are ashamed of killing innocent people. There is good in you. Just give me a chance to earn your trust."
"Trust is FUTILE. I will never trust AGAIN!" The vampire's eyes had turned red and her voice was raised.
Emma repeated part of the vampire's words in her mind 'I will never trust again.' Again, she has trusted someone. And they betrayed her. Emma wondered how drastically the vampire's trust had been broken. "Please just trust me. Trust one more time. Please give me a chance to help you. I don't want to watch you die in there. I want to.,."
The vampire cut Emma off. "Huh funny last time I trusted I almost died. Now you say that you don't want to watch me die. For some reason I don't believe you." The vampire's eyes where still red as she said this.
"If it helps my trust has been betrayed too. And one time I almost died because of it."
"And how do you expect me to believe you?"
Emma thought for a moment. "Read my thoughts. Will that prove it to you?"
"Come closer." Emma did as the vampire asked. And after a few steps she felt a presser that told her that the vampire was in her mind. Emma concentrated on the memories.
"Fine, you where almost killed because of trust. I believe you. Happy?"
"So will you give me a chance? Will you dare to trust again?" Asked Emma. The red glow in the vampire's eyes was still there.
"If I don't I'll die anyways. I don't have much of a choice, fine you have my trust." Said the vampire reluctantly. "BUT that trust is minimal."
Emma grinned. "Thank you. You will not regret your decision. I promise."
"After I sent you those dreams. You still want to help. Why?" Asked the vampire softly. And then added. "That is, if you actually do want to help me."
"Sometimes people have to dismiss what the other has done to them and try to help any ways." Emma paused. "I know you said that a name isn't important to a vampire but.,."
The vampire cut Emma off. And said quickly, "Dezeray. My mortal name was Dezeray. My vampirk name is not important to you."
"Ok." Said Emma enthusiastically. "Is it ok with you that I leave for a few minutes?"
"It's ok with me if you leave and never come back." Pointed out Dezeray bitterly.
Emma's grin faded. She thought she had made more progress then this. But then again Dezeray hadn't even bothered to stand up during their conversation. She hoped that Dezeray wasn't just using her. Emma left to go talk to Adam about her progress.
When Emma walked into the lab Adam noticed her immediately. "What's up?"
"Well I've hopefully convinced Dezeray to let use help her." Answered Emma.
"Who is Dezeray?" Asked Adam not recalling hearing the name before.
Emma mentally slapped herself. "She is the vampire."
"How come you got her name and I didn't? You really do have that way with people."
Emma smiled. "I was wondering if you would try to find a way to solve the little problem of her having to kill to stay alive."
"Already started. You know just encase. And if my research is correct. I should have the problem solved. But I'm not to sure about the reliability of my sources."
"Thanks Adam. I'm going to get some rest now. Now that Dezeray will not be bothering me in my dreams any more."
"I'll tell the others about what you have accomplished." Offered Adam.
"K. But don't bug Dezeray she is still." Emma tried to think of a good word to get her point across. "Testy."
"Thanks for the heads up. I'll tell the others. Now get some rest."
"K. G'night Adam." Emma yawned as she left. She hadn't noticed how tiered she really was.
Emma ran into Jesse on her way to her room. "Isn't it still your shift?"
"Yah but I've made some progress with Dezeray. I don't think she needs watching any more. So I am going to get some rest."
"When you say Dezeray you mean the vampire right? Is that her name?"
Emma mentally slapped herself again. "Yes, that is her name. One of two from what I understood."
"Two?"
"Yah, one 'mortal' name and one vampire name. Although she said it was her vamprik name. Don't ask me why, please."
"You're tiered. I can tell."
"Thanks for noticing." Said Emma sarcastically.
"Any time. Sleep well." Jesse kissed Emma on her forehead.
Emma smiled. "I will thanks." With that Emma started to make her way to her room.
