FLASHBACK

Paine, Yuna and Rikku walked through the woods of Machliana the group was attacked by a large pack of killer hounds. They struck without warning takeing the three girls by surprise. Dispite how well the girls fought the end result was not a happy one. Yuna sat slumpt against the far left tree a large gash across her chest and part of Paine's broken sword in her stomach. Rikku was flopped over a large rock a large wound across her back. Paine looked at her friends, tears resting on her cheeks, as she pulled the other half of her sword from her chest. "Yuna...Rikku..." The only responce she got was a few soft moans. A voice echoed in her head. 'you can't keep your secret any longer or they will die.' Paine cluched her head and spoke softly to herself. "No they've trusted me I can't..." 'well if you don't they'll die...I thought you loved her you do don't you? I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose her...' Paine growled. "Stop it I can't curse them like this it isn't fair to them. And what do you mean loved? I always have and always will love her." 'Then save her, turn them, don't ever let them leave you.' Paine was about to answer when she heard Yuna call to her very weakly.

"Paine...please...help..."

'You better hurry they have very very weak pulses.' Paine screamed inwardly and she slowly made her way to Yuna and pulled the cold steal from her friend. "Forgive me Yuna..." Paine felt her fangs grow as she inched closer to Yuna's neck.

"I...for...give...you..." Yuna spoke in ragged breaths.

Paine smiled softly and sunk her teeth into Yuna's neck, Yuna gasped and opened her eyes wide then shut them. Paine bit her wrist and had Yuna suck on the wound till she pulled her arm away. The wound healed quickly. As Yuna's body died her wounds healed. Paine then walked over to Rikku and did the same thing. "Are you happy now!" 'Are you?' Paine hung her head for a moment then picked the two up so they each had an arm around her neck and then she slowly made her way to the airship. Once there she set the two in bed then laid down on her's and closed her eyes. The next morning Yuna and Rikku slowly opened their eyes.

Yuna slowly made her way over by Paine, her whole body hurt, and sat down on the bed next to her. "Paine..." Yuna whispered and ran her hand down her cheek softly.

Paine opened her eyes and looked at Yuna a soft smile on her face. "Yuna..."

Yuna smiled softly. "Thank you..." At that Yuna leaned in and kissed Paine deeply. They finally broke for air and Yuna smiled. "I've known for a long time how you felt I was just to scared to show you before, but after what happend yesterday I know it was hard doing what you did. I wanted you to know that I love you Paine and always will." A smile crossed the gunners lips.

"Yuna..." Yuna silenced Paine with a soft kiss letting her fangs graze her sires tongue.

Rikku slowly made her way over by Paine. "Thaks for the save Paine I owe you big."

Paine looked at Rikku. "You don't owe me anything. Believe me if you knew what I did you'd kill me."

Rikku giggled. "Why would I kill you for saving my life?"

"Because of what I had to do."

"What did you have to do?"

Paine sat up slowly. "You don't feel any different?"

Rikku looked at her funny. "What do you mean different?"

"Are colors brighter?" Rikku nodded. "How bout smells are they more intence?" Again Rikku nodded. "I don't sujest eating any food your body will just reject it. If you get hungry see me. If you don't you may do something you'll regret."

Rikku's eyes got wide. "What do you mean."

Yuna laughed. "Rikku you didn't know?"

"Know what?"

"That Paine was a vampire."

Paine's eyes got wide. "You knew?"

"Yes I did, you have fangs." Yuna laughed.

Paine just smirked revealing the left fang.

Rikku looked at Paine and smiled softly. "I guess now we really will be friends forever huh." Rikku sat on Paine's bed. "Were we your first or are their others before us?"

"There was one before you, though I haven't seen him in a very long time."

The three girls went and sat at the bar and spoke more while they had coffee. After a few hours Yuna and Rikku got a funny look in on their face and cluched their chest. Yuna looked at Paine with fear in her eyes which now show ice blue and ice green. Paine cold crimson eyes softened. "I'm so sorry Yuna..." Paine looked at Rikku and saw the same look of fear in her ice green eyes. Paine sighed. "I'm sorry Rikku..." She the two and they quickly got off the airship. "You need to feed. Stay here I'll be back." Paine ran off and within a few minutes she returned dragging two New Yevon soilders. She tossed one to Rikku, who wasted no time feeding from him, and the other she set before Yuna.

Yuna's eyes got wide. "I-I-I can't kill him."

Paine smirked. "Then don't feed upon him till the craving goes."

"I can't feed from a person."

"Then you'll die." Paine spoke softly. "I hate myself for doing this to you." Paine sunk her fangs into the soilers neck and got a mouth full of blood and quickly kissed Yuna letting the blood from her mouth go into Yuna's.

Paine did this till Yuna pulled away, tears running down the gunners cheeks, and spoke. "I will not feed from people any longer."

Paine nodded. "I will find another way for you to feed Yuna I promise." She looked over at Rikku. "How bout you Rikku?"

The young Al-Bhed looked at her sire. "I'm with Yunie on this one."

Paine nodded. "You've got it."

The group got back on the airship and Paine sat at the bar twiring a glass full of a red liquid around. She smirked and downed it. "I got it!"

Yuna and Rikku looked up from their books at Paine. "You've got what babe?"

Paine smirked. "You'll see when i get back." Paine grabbed two empty Valti bottles and then disappeared. A few hours later she returned and set one bottle infront of Yuna and one infront of Rikku. "Keep it in the mini fridge in my cabin but here feind blood. Its a little trick I forgot about. Will this be a better alternative?"

Rikku and Yuna nodded. "This will be alot better Paine thank you."

END FLASHBACK

Yuna sat up in bed sweating. Paine felt her sit up and opened her eyes. "Whats the matter angel?"

Yuna looked at her sire and lover and smiled. "Bad dream."

"Care to talk about it?" Paine asked mid yawn.

Yuna giggled. "I'll talk to you about later get some sleep babe."

Paine smirked. "Have it your way." Paine rolled over on her side and pulled Yuna down to the bed and held her tightly. "No more bad dreams tonight ok angel I'll keep you close and safe." Paine yawned again and drifted off to sleep.

Yuna smiled and sank into Paine's arms and closed her eyes. "As long as we're together like this I'll be fine." Yuna slowly drifted off back to sleep.
