Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Blade or any of the characters except Vanessa. I made her up so she's mine.

Vanessa to her credit didn't choke on her drink. She was an expert. She knew how to hide her emotions when it came to shocking and surprising news. She just sipped her drink and arched her eyebrow. She lowered her drink as he checked her face for a reaction.

"Drake, huh? Now where have I heard that name before?" she gave him a slight smile.

"I am creator of the vampire race. I despise what this world has become and who rules it. I would have never let humans rule it," he said defiantly. He didn't like naïve girls.

"I heard they brought you back. It's a shame that humans rule us, when we should rule them. We are the predators and they are the prey. We could snap them like twigs. So could you, if you wanted to. But you are waiting for the right moment to attack." She put a hand on his leg. He stared at her, instantly liking this situation. He reached out a hand and traced a hand down her jawbone.

"You are not as naïve as you look." He gripped her chin gently but firm. "Who turned you, girl?" She reached up and softly removed his hand. This gesture proved to him that she brave and strong.

"I was born this way. No fool would have even gotten a chance to turn me. Except, maybe you."

There was something peculiar about this girl. She intrigued him. She was defiant and didn't seem to be afraid of anything, let alone him. He let his eyes sweep over her features. She was gorgeous from her long dark her to her toned body. But the things that stood out to him most were her eyes. They were a lovely shade of gold. Her lips were round and full. He gazed at them longingly. He felt himself become overwhelmed with desire.

"You are brave to talk to me in such a way. You are delightful in some ways. Tell me how would you like the real strength and power of a vampire?" He invaded her mind. She had had her defenses up, but he broke though them easily. He had been doing this for along time. He filled her with want and desire. She fell victim to his charms.

"I would like to, very much," she said in a dreamlike state. Drake smiled to himself. These new species of vampires were weak.

Vanessa went on with this little charade. She let him think that he was in control. She had been mentally prepared for this. Apart of herself went into a blacked part of her mind. She watched the situation take place. He willed her to pass out.

Drake carried her through a door in the back of the club. It led to a safe house with plenty of rooms. He found one room and carried her in there and laid her down on the bed. She woke up groggily.

"Melissa? Can you hear me?" She groaned sleepily. Drake smiled to himself. She would make a nice pet. "I will make you stronger. You could be my mistress, my lover, and my follower. But first you have to prove yourself to me. Let me drink from you," he requested. Vanessa sat up and looked him in the eyes.

Vanessa pondered on this. On the upside, if he mixed his blood with hers, she could give a sample of her blood to Sommerfield for the daystar virus. She would be stronger and could hunt vampires more efficiently. On the down side, he could be lying and just kill her or he could force her to join his side and bring the end to the human race. It's settled then, she thought.

Vanessa looked deeply into Drake's eyes and nodded.

"I am yours to do what you wish. I give myself to you."

Sorry for the short chapter. Let me know what you think.
