I'm back with more vampire goodness with chapter 7. I can't believe how many Microsoft Word document pages I have written TOTAL so far. It's like… Whoa… and please review. I know some people who read it don't review and that kind of hurts my feelings a little because I don't feel my story is good enough…so please review.

And I also need the votes for the pairings by the next chapter. That's when the romance will start to show.

Chapter 7: The Infected

The War

Cri slowly stood up, breaking the chains that held her and pulling off the muzzle. "Let me start by saying thank you. All that metal was uncomfortable." She smiled at Evelyn. "Now if you want to know why we have come here we want to put a truce up…Stop all this fighting…" Evelyn's eyes widened. This was not what she expected to hear at all. Maybe some sort of threat, plea for mercy, or even a surrender.

She slowly walked over to her desk and sat down in the chair looking a few years older. "And how do you propose we do that? You vampires still need blood. What should we do when you get hungry and come knocking on our door?" Cri smiled. "What if you have everyone give a pint/pint and a half of blood a month and leave them in a cold box outside the base? That will get us to leave you alone." Evelyn nodded. "That should work but what's in it for us? What do we get out of it?" Cri chuckled softly. "You humans…Always the greedy type…How about we vampires grow you food. This will balance things out. If that isn't enough then we can always do a little more."

Evelyn stared at her for a good five minutes. "You seem far too smart to be a vampire…Who and what are you?" Cri grinned from ear to ear, showing her sharp but slightly shorter fangs. "Me?" She asked casually. "My full name is Cri Amylissa Rayne. My codename is Agent BloodCri and I am a supernatural assassin originally working for The Brimstone Society. I was dragged into this war on an important assignment. If this dimension falls it could trigger a collapse of many many others. Like dominos. I am a dhampir. Half human, half vampire. The breed is a mix of red and yellow. I have been here for almost 3 years now, have found love with the commander of the vampire army of all people. Oh and I am expecting a child at the end of this year."

The other vampires around her looked up at her, shocked. Taylor whipped his head around and stared at his friend. Evelyn just stood there, speechless. Cri looked from one face to another, puzzled. "What?" She asked. "Did I say something wrong?"

The Tower

It only took a few seconds for Raven to start to feel faint. She was only vaguely aware of her friends arriving on the scene, of Cri shouting, of the human who attacked her being maimed by Nightingale. She tried to focus her eyes but she just couldn't seem to. She blinked her eyes and was suddenly unable to open them again. Her world went black and she knew no more.

Raven slowly came too she was lying in the hospital wing of the tower. Her neck had been half healed by Cri and was currently heavily bandaged. She slowly sat up, one hand on her head. "You're awake…Good." Raven slowly turned towards the source of the voice forcing her eyes to focus. It was Cri. She was standing in the doorway smiling. "That human severed your jugular vein…I tried to heal you but it didn't seem to work. Not for a few minutes anyway. The disease kept you from healing but it seems that your demonic blood fought it off. I'm gonna stay here and watch you for awhile just to make sure."

Raven nodded weakly. "May I have something to drink?" she asked. "And some food?" Cri nodded. "There is some on the other side of your bed. And some iced suntea…I didn't think anything hot would mix well with a shaky grip." Raven turned to the food and dove in, ravenous.

Cri walked to a chair, flipped it around backwards, and sat down watching her, resting her head and arms on its back. "Just tell me if you feel strange in any way at all. If so I will perform a few tests to see which strain you have and will treat it if possible." Raven seemed to ignore her she had already cleaned her plate and was chugging the entire glass of iced suntea. "Thirsty?" Cri asked. "That's normal after extreme blood loss…I could get you some water too if you would like…" Raven put down the empty glass nodding. "That would be nice…"

Cri left the room to fetch the ice water. Raven leaned over pressing her palms to her temples. 'Focus Raven…' she told herself. 'Just relax. Find your center. You can't loose control. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthoths. Azarath, Metrion, Zinth-' Her mind suddenly went blank as an overwhelming pain grabbed her body and started squeezing the life out of her. She tried to scream but all that came out was a choked gasp. She fell out of the bed curled up in a ball on the floor.

A few long agonizing seconds later Cri returned with a jug of ice water. "Ok Raven I have the wat- Oh my god! Raven are you ok!" The other Titans, after hearing Cri shout, charged into the room. Starfire covered her mouth with her hand to keep from gasping. "Friend Cri! What has happened to Friend Raven?" Cri turned around to look at the Titans, her expression grave. "I don't know what strain she is infected with…But I do know that it is a mutation and a powerful one at that. For it to work this quickly and actually outrun her demonic immune system. This is something I can't cure in her…Phoenix tears may save a human infected with this strain…But they will just kill a demon faster."

Please read, review, and VOTE! I really need help with this. So please, if you read this story, review. It's harder than you think to write a story.
