Chapter 4

"Ugh" someone else and I said in grossed out tones, it was like hearing my echo. I turned, but already knew who I would see..... This was going to be a long day, or week or however long it took me to learn how to feed right.

* * * * *

Dinner was, umm, interesting, and normal. I Didn't know what to excpect but it was normal. There were mashed potatos and gravy and homemade stuff. There was also chinese food and pizza. It was a weird combonation and well, I never had anyone of these foods. I stared in disbelife not knowing what to eat, it was all alien food to me.

"What? You look like your've never ate food before." Ash smirked. Some freaking way out of all the seats I got seated next to him, how? This table was as long as 6cars!!

"Thats because I havent." I scowled. I wanted to hide in my hood again, but it felt good having my face shown.

"Oh." Oh? I had expectedl different coment from him. A minute later he spoke again when I haddn't touched any of the food, even though I was stared at everyone eatting it. "Here try this." He took something off of one of the trayes and placed it on my plate. It was longist and rectangular, it looked like it was stuffed. When I looked puzzled he smirked again.

"Its a burrito. Mexican food, its filled with rice, beans and cheese. Its good, pick it up and eat it."

I didn't answer, but I picked it up and just held it. After inspecting it I took my first bite... OMG! What did I just put in my mouth? It was excelent! Nothing compared to blood, but it was good!

"Good?"

"Hell ya!"

He looked satisfied, his eyes went back to a nice shade of blue. I relaxed to, even though this guy was a moron he might be okay, I mean I could definitly kick his ass if he got out of line, or his soulmate would. I ate my burrito silently as everyone continued to talk.

"Agh, Debris we meet at last." I looked up, a man stood behind me. He looked around 18, he had his hair pulled into a ponytail he was tallish and very hansome. "Allow me to intoduce my self I'm Theirry."

I swallowed the huge amout of food crammed into my mouth. "Hi." I said softly, this guy looked important.

"I'm glad to have you joined and safe under my roof. We have a bedroom ready for you. I will have someone tell you all about our procedures and such. Quinn has talked to me about your situation and we will help you out right away, in every way we can." Quinn was standing behind Theirry, I glared at Theirry's words sank in, his roof? This was the guy that owned to place! I stood up. "Thank you."

"Very welcome." He shook my hand. Then turned and sat at the head of the table, Quinn took a seat next to Rashel. "So anything you want to share about yourself?" At that moment I realized it was quiet, I took a seat. I realized I had to anwer this guy, but I wish everyone wasn't staring at me.

"There isn't much to share."

"There must be something, how did you end up here? What were you doing before?"

"I, I was a vampire hunter. I was after Quinn, but he ended up bringing me here for a new start."I got out.

"I see, and your family?"

I just stared at my plate, "I don't have one."

"What do you mean?"

I knew my hair was turning black, I was really getting tired of answering questions. "I mean I was taken away from my family after I was born. At two I was dropped into a highway. Until I was 6 I moved from foster house to foster house. After no foster homes would take me I was left to fend for myself. I've been living on the streets for 11years."

There was an uncomfortable silence for a while. I picked up my burrito and began to eat again, I could feel all the eyes on me. I couldn't take it anymore I got up and left the dinning hall, I sat in the hallway in silence, this one wasn't uncomfortable.

I heard the doors open, I didn't move. Someone sat next to me, "You okay?" It was Mary-Lynette

"I couldn't take it anymore. I've never really talked to anyone and now I've told my story to complete strangers, I just wanted to feel, normal again, to feel alone."

"Yea, I had a normal life and was turn upside down but Ash."

"Who's life wouldn't, he's an idiot."

"Yea, my idiot. I couldn't take his past and sent him away for a year, worst decision ever-I actually came for him a few months before the year was up, but at that time all I wanted was my normal human life back."

"Oh I didn't know you were human. Wait... are you saying you fell in love with........ that? Ha ha."

"Didn't have a choice, he's my soulmate. Yet I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Soulmates? Whatever. You believe that crap?"

"I sure do, but Ash didn't, not at first"

"Aparently you won him over common sense, no affence."

"None taken, you remind me a lot of him, no affence. Anyway's I'm sure your tired, or just rather be alone. Would you like me to show you to your room."

Alone time would be nice. "Sure."

Mary-Lynette got up and held her hand for me to take. I got up on my own. She dropped her hand and waled down the hallway, again I was the follower. We went up two flights of stairs and down several hallways, there was an endless amount of doors.

"How many rooms are there?"

"I don't even know myself, I've only just got here a few months ago like I said. Awe here's your room."

We stopped by a blue door, cool my favorite color. On the door were silver numbers that said 175. I opened the door, the inside was amazing. The walls were checkered black and white all around the room. The there was a huge bed in the center of the room with nice dark blue bedding and white pillows. At the foot of the bed there were two black beanbag chairs. In front of that was a huge flat screen TV. There was a huge window with the seat built into it, nice. On the right side of the TV ther was another door, it looked like it belonged to a bathroom. I was speech less.

"Do you like? Will this fit you to your needs?"

"I've never had one."

"Never had what? Your own room?"

"A bed." Silence. After a minute I decided to answer her question. "Its perfect."

"Great! Mine and Ash's room is 165 if you need anything." She pointed to the door directly across from mine, I nodded. As she turned to go I mouthed the words thank you, even though she didn't see I knew she already knew.

I shut the door behind her and just stood. Looking around the room in amazment. It almost brought me to tears, almost. The closest to a bed I ever slept in was the back seat of a car in a junk yard. I sat down on it. I sank into the beautiful softness, it was amazingly comfortable! I layed down and got under the covers. The warmth spread around me, it felt good. Immediately I drifted into a deep slummber. My dreams held the eyes of Ash, the colors of my room, the smoothness in Mary-Lynettes voice, my dreams were peaceful for a change. Yet, like every night, I was helpless in the end, but not as helpless as my prisoners. The sight of young childern whiped through my mind, there screems chilling me to the bone, and yet I drank on, every last drop until there bodies went limp in my hands and their faces grew as pale as snow. I shivered in my sleep, hoping for the nightmare to end.
