Raye: So sorry, yet again. I'm gonna try really hard with this story from now on.

Rei stared at Mariah who just stared right back at him. "What the hell do you want with me?" she asked icily.
Rei smirked at her. "I always needed someone to help me run, or someone to entertain me. I've decided that you can take on BOTH roles, congratulations," he replied.
Suddenly, two vampires entered dragging two girls with them. "Rei. Can we keep 'em?" asked Ozuma showing his catch to Rei, as did Tala. Mariah gasped. It was Kaiyana and Miana.
"No! Please, don't hurt them. They know nothing of you horrible creatures!" she protested. Rei glared at her. "Shut up, I didn't not give you your first job yet mortal!" Mariah was not silenced. She glared right back. "Let them go bastard!" she yelled again.
Rei approached her. "You're practically screaming 'Eat me Rei'," he told her. "I don't care what the fuck you say, you can't hurt my friends, and you won't get me, I'm very good at avoiding vampires, I have been in this situation before, 10 years ago," she replied angrily.
Rei smiled evilly at her. "Go ahead Tala, Ozuma. Don't kill them though, cause Kai's already got Mianoko on his hands and you know how she feels about eating girls," Rei ordered them still grinning that same grin at Mariah.
"You evil, horrible creature!" she screamed.

From the room they were in, Aliana and Kai heard Mariah and Rei talking to each other. "I don't want anymore killing! It's always us against them, and you know what? They always win! Isn't there something we can do Kai?" Aliana pleaded her best friend.
"Not that I can think of, sorry Aliana." Kai turned back to his papers and started writing again. He was trying to figure out how Aliana could pay for being a ruler. He remembered that Rei had to stay un-fed for four weeks. It had almost killed him. He himself had to dedicate himself to someone for three years before he joined Rei, who was the rightful leader.
"What are you doing Kai?" asked the little vampire as she approached him. "I'm decided your fate," he replied looking up at her. She looked over the piece of paper. "I'll help you out. You know my worst fear, wouldn't doing what I fear most be a good punishment?" she asked him.
Silently, Kai read her mind. Only she knew that he had this power, but he only used it on her. "Your worst fear would only get you into trouble Aliana. If you turned into a human, one I could never see you again, two… well, I can't tell you that reason or you'd laugh at me," he replied quietly.
Aliana looked at him puzzled. She wanted to read his mind so badly right then. 'Why couldn't he tell her? WHAT exactly couldn't he tell her?' "Tell me, I won't laugh, you know I won't," she stated placing her hand on his shoulder for support. "Maybe you won't laugh, but you'll be scared, I know it isn't mutual and… you'll never talk to me again," Kai looked up at her, sorrow in his eyes. Aliana moved him over in the chair and sat down next to him. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled sadly down at her too.
"Come on Kai, you can tell me, we're closer than friends could ever be! And, my worst fear is eating a girl's blood," she smiled up at him.
'She's so innocent… I want to tell her so badly… Maybe I should. I really want to but…' he thought. "Well… I really want to tell you, but… I'm afraid too."
Aliana stared at him. Kai, HER Kai was scared. "How can you be scared? You're never scared!" she exclaimed. "I know, I know," he said. "But when it comes to you, there is much to be scared of." She looked at him very confused.
"Kai, I don't know what's bothering you, but I'd really like to help," she begged. "Sorry. I just can't. Can we change the subject now?" he asked a little more harshly then he would have liked.
Aliana looked hurt for a split second before she pulled up an emotionless mask, much like Kai's very own. "Fine, continue," she stated before leaving the room promptly.

Mariah had fallen asleep quietly. She was tired from yelling at vampires all night. It was around 3AM according to her watch. Suddenly, she was jerked awake. "C'mon, we're leaving," said a familiar voice. "Aliana?" Mariah asked sleepily. She smiled for a moment before she remembered.
"Wait, Aliana. Ozuma and Tala was it? They have my two female friends held captive! We need to save them too!" Mariah whispered harshly.
"Fine," replied the dark-haired girl. "The more female mortals I save the better."
The two started up a large staircase and crept past a room. In the room was a vampire sipping a glass of rare blood. You could tell it was rare blood and not normal blood because of the color. Rare blood was a deep maroon while normal was a bit lighter.
The stopped in front of a door and Aliana pressed her ear against it, listening. Mariah waited patiently. Inside, Aliana heard moans and evil laughs coming from Tala and Ozuma. "Stay here," Aliana whispered. "And keep guard."
Aliana slammed open the door and stalked inside while Mariah hid behind the door in between it and the wall.
"Well, what do we have here?" she asked glaring at the two boys. Kaiyana and Miana already looked worn and now they looked beat. "We'll never survive…" moaned Miana quietly. "Sure we will," Kaiyana reassured her. "We'll be fine."
"By order of Kai, you must release them," Aliana continued. The name slipping out of her mouth her more than it should have but she didn't show it. "Rei gave us orders to keep them here until he finished with their pink-haired friend.
Aliana had a plan. She fake-winced at a fake thought. "He did away with her just a few moments ago," she said in a hushed voice. Miana gasped but Kaiyana remained calm. She'd seen the cleverness in the girl's eyes and she knew it was fake.
"Fine, take them away," said Ozuma in a bored tone.
Aliana unhooked their chains and dragged them off. As soon as the door closed, Kaiyana turned to the purpled hair girl who turned out to be much shorter than her. "Where is she?" she asked in a hopeful tone. Aliana sighed. "Look behind you."
Kaiyana and Miana turned around and gave their friend a silent hug. "Can we go now?" asked Aliana impatiently. Mariah nodded. "Yes, lets."

Rei woke up early in the morning. Something was wrong. He glanced in the bed that lay beside his. It was empty. 'Kai? Where did you go?' he asked himself. Telling himself it was nothing, he rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. That is until the door slammed open.
Rei flipped over a rolled out of bed. "Heard of knocking?" Rei scolded tiredly. "Why are you up?" he added.
Kai glared down at him but then worry crossed his features. He was breathing heavily and he was sweating. "It's… it's your cousin… I think she ran away," Kai panted.
Rei sat up. "Why would you say that?" he asked curiously. Kai sighed and started to read a note out loud.
"Dear Kai and dearest Rei, I'm sorry I could not help you further but all that happens when I end up staying here is bad. Kai, I'm sorry I couldn't help you with whatever it was that was scaring you and Rei I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to you, you ARE my cousin after all! I think it is wrong the way you're treating the girls, so I'm taking them with me. Please understand and Kai, if you come after me, I'll never speak to you again. Yours, truly Aliana."
Kai finished the note and worry hit him like a bullet. He had to go after her, but how could he? Aliana never lied… would she really never speak to him again? Would he even find her? 'Oh Aliana, what have I done?'
Raye: There you go eveyone! I'm so glad everyone likes this story so much! You know what, I'm gonna start posting more often (hopefully)!
