Chapter 2: Dreams

Blood. Lilith's blood. It was everywhere. He could hear laughter, and knew it was that bastard Kal. 'Where are you, you murdering son of a bitch!'

'WHERE ARE YOU!'

The vampire Deshwitat L. Rudbich woke gasping. He sat up and checked outside. 'Good,' the thought, 'Its night time.' He pulled on a shirt and exited his room at Yung Sung Temple. He was walking down the hallway when he heard a grunt of pain coming from his old friend Rett's room. "Rett," he called opening the door. He froze when he saw the rainbow pattern of bruises on Rett's side.

"Oh, hey Desh." Rett grimiced slightly as he applied ice to the injured spot.

"What did Beryun do to you this time?"

"It wasn't Beryun Desh."

"Then who?"

"It was the kid. Remi got mad as hell at me and, well, this resulted. Broke quite a few ribs if I'm not mistaken."

Desh stared at the bruises. 'She doesn't have the kind of strength for this, or the guts.' He tried imagining this type of violence coming from the young, annoying child. Needless to say, he failed to picture it.

Meanwhile...

Remi tossed fittfully on the busride back to the temple.

'Stop it Kalutika! Stop it! You and Desh are friends!'

She heard a voice behind her. The voice that belonged to the one she was protecting. 'Lilith, get away! He's dangerous!' She turned toward that voice but a searing pain shot through her chest and side. She gagged on her own blood as she began to fall...

Remi burst into the waking world, a scream frozen in her throat. 'Not again. I really need to find away to stop these goddamn dreams.' She looked over and found Millenear's concerned and kind gaze on her.

"Are you ok, Remi?"

"Yeah, I guess. Just a nightmare." She gave Millenear her best smile and settled back into her seat. 'Just a nightmare...yeah right.'
