her story in the morning. i opened my eyes slowly this time, i wanted to make sure that i wasn't dreaming again. after convincing myself that i was in fact in the real
world, and after my eyes had adjusted to the dimly lit space that we were in, i looked around for RYO, oddly enough i found her sitting on the wall opposite of me
reading my book. she must have felt my eyes on her, she looked up at me "good morning, how are you feeling today" i was a little shocked at her...nice-ness "um, i
don;t mean to be rude but, are you real?" she looked at me confused..(ok, barely confused more like concerned for my mental health confused). "kyle, of course I'm
real?" "OK, because your being nice...too nice even for you." "oh, that I've just been reading your book here. it is very interesting, especially the part about how,
Sheppard storms the keeper's ship(OK, I'm talking about the first ship that we see in the PG the one where john kills the keeper.)I'm surprised at how they were
able to get past the guards and actually kill the keeper so, easily,"hold on, your not upset that john killed her oh, no that b!tch got what was coming to her if you ask
me, she practically stood there in front of him and screamed KILL ME! before her actually did it. I'm glad she's dead i really am."O.K. are you sure that I'm
not dreaming?"of course you are silly" she stands up and walks to-wards me."excuse me?" she wraps her arms around me a pulls me into a kiss. My eyes shoot
open as i rip myself from the dream world that my mind has created. I'm breathing heavily"oh...my...god..." i rest my head on the wall behind me and catch my
breath."it has got to be my lack of sugar that is causing this" i say to myself "i mean come-on me and her no way, but she is hot...where the hell did that come from?"
i would have continued yelling at myself had i not noticed that RYO was starting to stir in her sleep, and i for one did not want to be the one to wake her "who
knows what a with does to somebody when they're not a morning person?" i was again cut off from my thoughts As i heard a strange pain filled sob, i looked over at
RYO who i now noticed was shivering and crying. "RYO?" i moved over to her, she was facing away from me"come on RYO are you alright?" she cried again,
"RYO say something" i turn her to-wards me, and then i realize what is wrong with her, "RYO, how long has it been since you last fed?" she looks at me shaking her
head in protest."RYO, tell me " she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath."five...five...months" "five months? RYO are you crazy you could die!" "i know,
but,""but nothing! you should have told me" she suppresses another sob of pain. i slam my eyes shut and quickly weigh my options. my eyes open as i come to a
decision. i take her hand"kyle, she looks at me NO" "you have to RYO you'll die" i won't do it you can't make me."
i look her square in the eyes, "if you wait long enough i won't have to make you do anything, you'll just do it out of your instinctive need to survive." she convulses
again this time more harshly."I...WON'T..." i could now see tears in her eyes threatening to escape, i see now that shes fighting the urge to feed on me right now,
and with every second that passes by her resolve weakens."RYO, please...i don't want you to die...i.."i stop myself bitting my lip" i care about you too much." she
looks at me."you...care." i nod. my eyes never leaving hers. i take her hand and place it on my chest underneath my shirt."yes. i do-now please, if your going to do
this i would rather have the woman i care about cause me pain than.. than just her Ferrel instincts. please take what you need...don't cause yourself anymore pain on
my behalf." at this her resolve dives down to its lowest point and she breaks right there. her tears coat the floor.she looks at me hard, and then. she feeds. pain
courses through my body its unbelievable, i stifle a scream, it get hard to breath. i start to lose feeling in my arms and legs, and just when I'm on the threshold of
losing consciousness, the pain stops and i hear ryo's saddened voice." I'm ... I'm sorry." using the last of my strength i say to her the only thing that i can. "its OK, "as
the words leave my lips i collapse, into her arms as my mind in encompassed in darkness.
