Previously...
Hilary's pale arms had already formed purple bruises where Kai had held her.
"What the fuck did Kai do?!" Tyson yelled. "Hilary! Come on! Wake up!"
"Is she alive?" Tala asked.
Max nodded. "But it's like she's unconscious or in a coma."
"Was... w-was he drinking Hil's b-b-blood?!" Daichi stammered in fear.
"Yes." Tala said softly. "But I hope to God he isn't what I think he is."
"You mean...?" Mariah whispered to him.
Tala nodded quietly.
"But..." Tyson said, "I thought they were only in fairytales? You know, created to make naughty children behave or put in stories to tell around a camp fire? A myth!"
"All myths have some truth behind them." Tala said darkly. "Maybe vampires are real after all."
----
Now...
Hilary lay in soft bed under the feather blanket silently. She had been awake for at least an hour now but she didn't have the strength to even flicker her eyelids or lift a finger. Her bottom lip was throbbing painfully, the two fang holes still looking raw.
'What's wrong with me?' She thought in fear, 'Why can't I move?'
She could hear movement in the room then something touching her forehead gently. She was completely sapped of all her energy, and left lying there like a broken doll. Soon she was overcome with weariness and
----
It had been almost two days since they had found Hilary, Kai and Ray inside the alley and Hilary was still unconscious. Tyson and Kiana had both covered for her, telling her parents that she had been staying over their houses but they could only do that for so long. Ray sat beside Hilary today and dabbed her brow with a damp cloth. They had all taken turns in watching her, hoping, praying that she'd soon wake up. Tala, Max and Tyson stood outside the room, not able to stop worrying. Kenny and Daichi were worried also but kept to the lounge room.
"How's Kiana doing?" Tyson asked Tala.
Tala looked over to him from his position leaning against the wall and sighed, folding his arms over his chest.
"Not too good." He replied. "She's not talking to me or anyone else. She only comes out of her room when she wants to watch Hilary."
"It's not fair!" Tyson suddenly shouted angrily. "How could Kai do this?! Look at what he's done to Hil! And his sister! And... and how the fuck did he become a 'Vampire' anyway?!"
Ray stepped out of the room just in time to hear the loud outburst.
"It is a big mistery," Ray mused, "But I don't think we should worry about that... not just at this very second. We should think about what we should do with the girls."
"Is Hilary okay?" Max asked, finally breaking his silence for the first time since the alley.
Ray gave a sad look. "No change in her condition."
----
Dream
"Kai... How could you do this to me? I love you Kai..."
Hilary looked around herself. The area was filled with a grey mist that continued on to be the sky. It streatched on for infinity, though it trapped and suffocated her at the same time. Hilary felt the coldness of this place prickle her skin and freeze the tears which tumbled from her eyes. She brushed the watery beads away and they turned to sparkling glitter and disappeared into the air. She didn't even notice the beautiful sparkles of her own tears, her mind was focussed upon Kai and what happened in the alley. The images replayed before her very eyes in hallucinogenic realness. She felt as though if she reached out, she could touch Kai's face.
"How could you do that Kai? I thought you loved me..."
"...Hilary..."
Hilary whirled around in alarm, searching for the owner of the second voice. It was pained and oh so familiar to her.
"Hilary..."
She remembered who it was. She felt so stupid for not realising it immediatly.
"Kai?! Where are you?"
"Hilary... Help me... Please..."
Kai materisalised in front of her, but his body was whispy and looked like is frame was being sucked back from where he'd come. His face looked so agonised and regretful. ilary had never seen that expresson on his before and it was breaking her heart.
"Please Hilary, you need to help me..." His voice was a whisper, but it echoed through out the whole of the eternity. "I am sorry Hilary... I am so sorry... Stay away from me, I don't want to hurt you again..."
"Wait Kai! I don't understand! How can I help you if I can't go near you?!"
Kai gave her a small smile but she could still ee the pain in his eyes. Some thing was hurting him. This wasn't the Kai that she'd been with in the alley, this was the real Kai, the one she'd fallen in love with.
"You'll find a way," He said softly, "I trust you... You will suceed, you have to... if you don't... then many more people will die and you will have no choice but to kill me."
"Wow, no pressure," She said, feeling new tears prickle the corners of her eyes. "I could never kill you Kai! Never!"
She ran towards him. He was slowly being blown away, like sand on the wind. He gave her one last sad smile.
"I love you Hil... please... help me..."
Hilary threw her arms around Kai but the moment she felt his solid body in her grasp he disappeared causing Hilary to fall forwards, fall straight into conscious reality.
----
Hilary sat bolt upright only to have her head smack painfully against something above her and fall back into the plush pillow under her head.
"Damn it Hil! Who would have thought you'd have such a hard head! Shit!"
Hilary felt the pain in her head but couldn't summon the strength to even touch it. She rolled her eyes over to the direction of the voice and saw Tyson sitting beside her, rubbing his head ruefully. He gave her a wry smile.
"Glad to se you're finally awake."
"T... Tyson?"
Her voice was barely above a whisper.
"W-where..."
"You're at my house." He said softly. "How are you feeling?"
'Like crap...' Was what she wanted to say but all that passed her lips was a soft moan.
Her energy was quickly leaving her again. "Kai..."
Tyson's face formed a saddened, bitter mask. "He's gone. Don't worry Hil, we wont let him hurt you again."
"No..." She whispered, "We... need to... save... him..."
Hilary felt and saw the dark mist swirling around the borders of her vision, pulling her steadily back into the darkness. Tyson saw her eyes beginning to wander and get unfocussed. He cupped her face in his hands and shook her gently.
"No no Hil! Come on Hil stay with me! HEY! YOU GUYS GET IN HERE!"
Hilary heard the door open abruptly and feet pounding the floor. Tala, Max and Ray all hurried over to Hilary and Tyson.
"She woke up," Tyson eaxplained quickly, "But shes going to pass out again."
"Must... help... Kai..." She whispered again. "He's in... trouble..."
"Okay Hilary, we'll help Kai," Ray said, "Just stay conscious!"
Hilary gave a weak smile. "Th... thank you..."
Her eyes rolled back and the darkness engulfed her once more. Tyson grasped her shoulders.
"Hil? Hilary! Wake up!"
"She's out again Tyson." Tala said calmly. "Why does she want us to help Kai? She knows what he did to her, I mean. Kai told me she bashed her last boyfriend to a bloody pulp just because he pushed her when they split. Kai almost killed her and she wants to help him? Not that I'm complaining or anything, he's my best friend... I just want to know why."
"So do I." Ray replied.
"So," Tyson said clapping his hands together, "Who has an idea on how we make Vampire Boy back into the Moody Bastard?!"

Kai sat calmly in the high branches of a thick tree, just edging a kids playground. He watched the children playing happily, calling out to their parents and eating from little packed lunches that their mothers or fathers had so lovingly made for them. To Kai, the entire park was just a menu. A few children and their parents were starting to go home to prepare for dinner, others were begging to stay just five minutes longer. Kai growled when he noticed there were no children on their own. The sun was just tipping upon the horizon sending the golden glow cascading over the town. Kai sheilded his delicate eyes from the bright orb and scanned the side walks. The death toll for today was only two. He was not a glutton, he fed only when he needed to... at breakfast, lunch and tea.
The last couple of children and adults left the playground ad headed home, completely unaware that they had just been watched by ravenous eyes. Kai was hungry again, but there was something more important on his mind at the moment... finding another vampire. He needed to know what his strengths were and more im importantly, his weaknesses. He had absolutely no doubt that Tala would find some way of stopping him. He was no as sure that his friend would slay him. Tala was going out with Kai's twin and Kai very much doubted that Kiana would want to see her only living family, her only brother, killed.
Although, Tala was no fool. He would do what is needed to do and if that meant killing Kai, he would do it. If Kai went after Kiana, or Hilary or anyone else then Tala would kill Kai without hesitation, in accordance with his motto, "Shoot first, ask questions never". Though the red-haired Russian had never excercised that rule on any of his friends before.
Kai yawned. The sun was almost set and the birds were trilling their evening harmony. The street lights began to flisker and shops was starting to close up for the day. Kai jumped off the 20 foot high tree branch and landed gracefully on the ground. He had stolen a black, leather cloak which trailed behind him. It was a freezing night but the teenaged vampire felt nothing on his dead skin. The sun had disappeared over the horizon now and Kai was once again searching for his vampire kin for the second night in a row. He could putoff his hunger for a while but sooner or later he'd have to find a fresh victim, and they were growing more scarce now that the murders were being documented on the news.
Kai had been searching for hours now and hid hunger was getting worse. A sudden movement on the opposite sidewalk caused him to duck quickly behind a car. A girl was running through the streets, back towards the park Kai had just left. She was alone and the streets were deserted at one o'clock in the morning. He groaned and began to run after her, gliding through the streets as nothing more than a swift shadow.
'It feels like I'm just going in circles!' He thought wearily.
The girl stopped running upon reaching the park and began walking calmly. Kai walked a small distance behind her. She was wearing jeans, ugg-boots and a black turtle-neck skivvy. Her shoulder length blonde hair had been tied back in a neat ponytail. She was mumbling something with venom in her voice. Kai stalked up until he was right behind her.
"What's a pretty girl like you wondering around at this time of night?"
The girl spun around in alarm and backed away from him.
"Who the hell are- wait... you're Kai Hiwatari!"
Kai smiled and walked up towards the girl.
"That's right. Now what's the problem."
"Nothing," she said, slightly flustered and blushing as Kai touched her cheek with his strong yet cold hands. "Just... bitch mother... bastard father... and... and..."
She lost track of what she was saying as Kai kissed her cheek gently. The girl felt tingles travel down her spine. This was like a dream come true for her. Kai travelled down and kissed her neck. He heard her moan softly. The girl reached her hands up and wrapped them around Kai. Her eyes suddenly went wide and her mouth came ajar as Kai sank his fangs into her soft velvet like flesh. The girl made a soft, choked whimper and went limp in his arms, dying. Unbeknownst to Kai, a pair of acidic yellow eyes were watching him.
"Nicely done Mr Hiwatari."
Kai turned around quickly, dropping the lifeless girl to the ground. Standing there behind him was another girl. She was gorgeous, a toxic beauty and looked to be only 16. Her eyes were an acid yellow colour and lined with black eye-liner and mascara. Her lush lips had indigo lipstick covering them perfectly and her long black hair had large streaks of indigo that travelled down to the tips. Her skin was a ghastly pale and her body was thin and curved perfectly in all the right places. She wore tight black leather corset and a short black skirt and knee high boots, made of the same material. Draped over her was a black leather cloak with a undone black belt around the waiste and her hands were covered in black, fingerless gloves. Kai turned his whole body towards her and approached her slowly.
"Hey there. What's your name gorgeous? What are you doing out here so late?"
"Watching you." She replied."My name is Magenta."
Magenta's voice was accented. She was from Transelvania but her accent was only light, as though she'd been living elsewhere for a few years.
"Is that right?" He asked raising her hand towards her.
Magenta slapped it out of the way.
"I am not your prey Kai," She said silkily, "I am your kin."
"So you're a vampire huh?" Kai mused, smiling. "Finally, I've found one."
"Uh, no. I found you." She said, examining him up and down. "You've done well for a new-blood. Killing four people already, and slaying your mother. Very well done."
"That hag wasn't my mother." Kai spat.
"Yes," Magenta contradicted, "She was. "She died because a vampire bit her. She was turned when I unburied her and poored the same vampires blood into her mouth. After that I of course slayed the other but I took your mother and taught her how to hunt."
"You turned her?" Kai asked, "But that was years ago. You would have only been like two."
"Despite my appearance," Magenta remained calm, "I am one hundred and thirty-seven years old."
"So you're ancient." Kai smirked.
Magenta glared coldly at him. Kai felt his hunger still present.
"Vampires have blood too don't they?" He asked. "They would if they were able to turn people."
Before Kai could even lean forwards, he felt a slight pressure on his stomach, making him stop. He looked down and smirked. Magenta held a wooden stake to him. He hadn't even seen her pull it out.
"If you drank my blood, you'd make yourself sick." She said softly. "Come with me Kai, I will show you how to be a true vampire."
Kai starred into her acid eyes and nodded almost unconsciously. She was so beautiful, it would be stupid not to follow her, especially when she was going to teach him all he wanted to know. The though of killing her had crossed Kai's mind, after all, he did already have Hilary and why would he want to be with a chick over a hundred years old? But he reserved that thought for the moment. He allowed Magenta to take his hand and lead him away.
----
Kiana was still awake, even at this time of night. How could she possibly sleep? Her brother, her only brother, was a vampire! Questions raced through her head. How did it happen? Why Kai? Was there anyway to turn him back to normal? Was he alright now? Was he still the same person he was before? She snorted at that question. Of course he wasn't. He was caught sucking Hilary's blood in the alley, next to a womans corpse. The real Kai would never have even though about hurting Hilary! Kiana sat lied on the bed in the spare room that Tyson had offered her. The door was locked and the curtains were shut. She hugged her pillow tightly.
"Kai," She whispered in a strangled sob, "What happened to you? I just want you back to normal... I want my brother!"
A soft knock was heard on the door. Kiana didn't even bother looking at it.
"Go away!"
"Kiana, it's me." Tala's voice was slightly muffled by the door but Kiana heard him.
She hesitated a moment then got up and unlocked the door. Tala opened it and followed Kiana inside, closing the door behind him.
"How you doing?" He asked softly.
"How do you think?" She replied bitterly, climbing onto the queen sized bed and hugging the pillow again. "I'm sorry Tala, I guess... I am just a bit-"
"Don't worry." He said sitting on the bed beside her. "Hilary woke up a couple of hours ago."
"She did?! Is she okay?!"
"She's fine," Tala said will a smile. "But she has no energy. She's asleep again at the moment."
Kiana nodded and slouched again.
"She said something before," Tala continued, "Just before she passed out again..."
Kiana starred at him.
"She said we have to help Kai. That we have to save him and that he was in trouble. The guys and I have come up with nothing so far. We are all out of idea's. We sure could use a bright mind like you to help us."
Kiana showed a feeble smile. "Okay, I'll help you.
