Sorry it's short.


When I woke up my mind was completely blank aside from the sheering pain I felt from the blood pounding into my head. What the hell happened? I blinked. Darkness. Blinked again. My eyes were slowly coming into focus. I guess the most important question I should be asking is where the hell was I?

Oh yeah.

My back ached terribly. But it was no wonder because I had been resting on what appeared to be a dark cold concrete ledge. I got up and looked around. Cave? The realization had hit me. I had to muffle the scream with my dirty hand that was forcing it's self from my throat.

My throat. His hands had been around it and as I brushed the area with my fingers I cringed, bruise. He was a demon, I don't care what kind or how. But I suppose what troubles me the most was the fact that Paul had known.

"Hey."

Speak of the devil. "Hey yourself." I glared at him; my determination was to not break contact.

"Krystal." He was beside me, his hands had found mine. His hands tangled in my hair and around my neck. He was pulling me closer to his body. I remained immobile my arms to my side.

"I hate you." I knew it was a lie.

Paul pulled away from me, even in the dark I knew his eyes were filled with hurt. "I want you to understand. We all do."

I couldn't argue because he was steering me towards the light. The cave's main room poured into view. Dwayne was fussing with a dirty stereo box and the other, Marko was pacing a pigeon in hand. I tried not to look towards the demon, David. Paul cleared his throat and placed his hands on my shoulder guiding me towards the demon.

"Krystal." David was only a few feet from me. I couldn't breath, my eyes darted towards the exit. I wonder if I could make it?

"You killed her." Fuck. I was cursing myself now. The words had just flown out of my mouth.

"Sit." He offered to a chair next to where he had just sat.

"No thank you."

"Sit.' A command. I sat.

Desperate I pulled Paul beside me. Though there was no chair, he sank to his knees, brushing my hair from the face.

"So this friend of yours, Kat right?" He was grinning. Bastard.

I didn't want to open my mouth afraid of what may come out.

"I think you will be pleased to know that it wasn't I that killed her. Though I will admit I had every intention of it." David raised his glove hand and rubbed his chin.

"But you wanted to kill her? I don't understand. If you didn't then who killed her? Was it one of you?" My words dripped with anger towards the other two that were sitting not to distant. Not that I could threaten them.

"We are vampires Krystal."

"Fuck you." I was grinning like a lunatic. Where's the straight jacket?

"We are serious Krystal." Marko had spoken. His angel like appearance was hightened by the flames licking his shawdow. "I'm a vampire, so is Dwayne and Paul."

I think we are going to need five jackets.

"If you were to going to doubt us you would be lying to yourself." Dwayne was speaking now, his face hidden by partial darkness.

" I believe what I saw. I saw David rip a girl to pieces. I call it a killer, you call it a vampire. Either way, I think you are all mad hatters."

They laughed. For the first time Krystal was able to breath a little easier. Maybe she wasn't going to die. "Why am I alive?"

"Good question. Living is a drag." Marko smiled at her. Still nervous she giggled.

"Normally you wouldn't be. If I had found you in the alley I would of killed you without a second thought. But seeing how Paul is my loyal childe, I gave him an opportunity."

"A what?" Couldn't he speak English?

"I offered him the chance to make a mate."

She felt uneasy. "Oh so I am a piece of meat after all." She was laughing now. "I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to know what happened to my friend."

"What happened was that she was murdered by her suppliers after she refused to have sex with them. So they slashed her to pieces just like the whore I killed."

"Shut up!" I was on my feet. Paul was holding me firmly. Marko and Dwayne were up too, ready to defend their leader. Though they did look, a bit torn. "Don't say that." My voice was braking. Dear god I could feel the water works in motion. I feel like such a child. "Don't compare her to that whore. Kat had her faults but she wasn't a whore! I fucking know she didn't do drugs. I would of noticed!"

"Notice? Precious she was out all the time with men, working it. While you the innocent one had your nose shoved in books, alleviant." David was all grins, ear to ear.

I said nothing he was right, though how he knew is a mystery. I sank back down defeated. He knew he was going to come out of it triumphant. "I want revenge."

Dwayne sighed. "With this." He raised her smile silver pistol in view.

"Join us Krystal. Together we can avenge her death." David eyes locked onto Paul.

"Krystal, beautiful. I was meaning to tell you…" He was smiling, I kissed his forehead. " I didn't know. I thought it was David."

"Wait, you said you were going to kill her?"

David shrugged, " to me she was no different than the other women. I am a vampire Krystal. We feed to survive. I was trailing her until I spotted you."

"Me?"

His face lit up, blushing? Do vampires blush?

"Paul was taken to you, I could sense that." He recovered his sober form.

"Join us girl, sleep all day party all night." Marko slapped Paul's shoulder that smirked to him. Dwayne threw his arm around Marko's shoulder and nodded.

"I'd like some time to think, food- normal food, and a drink." I smiled running her hand through her busy hair.

Paul placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "I thought you quite?"

I wrapped my arms around his neck standing tiptoe so I could be eye level. "Tonight I am making a exception."

David lifted his head up focusing on her. "A drink? Marko my wine."


What did you think? I will post my next chapter tomorrow night!
