I am sorry if I made the last chapter too gross...I had no idea what came over me to actually write something that gross! Now that I read it all over again, I have to admit I was grossed out myself! To all the reviewers out there, wow! I thank you for all the reviews!! It blew my breath away! And all the ideas!! The questions!! Most of the questions you'll find answered here in this chapter. To black burning heart66, the victims will have to be bitten and drink the vampire's blood in order to change. Or the world would be crawling full of them! And about the father changing the Donahue siblings to save them is logical, but you never know who really did change them...

Chapter 13: Soul Mate

Standing there and screaming my head off, I witness the scene where a female vampire single-handedly murder eight of the Donahue siblings.

Just in one night.

Just in one minute.

Eight lives gone.

I was screaming.

Hell was I screaming.

How do I know I was screaming?

That's because there is a very deranged Dominic screaming his head off back at me.

"For the love of God, will you please shut it? You're not even dead yet! You're waking the whole house up! Now they'll think I'm murdering you! It's just a farking hole in the chest! It's not like someone pulled your intestines out and shove them back in from your mouth!"

I gasped, "A hole in the chest?" Now someone just flipped my switch. "Just a hole in the chest? I'm not a freaking vampire if you haven't notice, Mr. switch-flipping!"

"Will you stop shouting at me! I just saved your freaking pathetic life!" Dominic throws his hands in the air.

"Saved my pathetic life? You might as well just let me die, you stupid vampire! And I'm not shouting! You are!"

"You little…" Dominic inched forward and I back off from the bed. He grabbed me painfully at my arm and I hissed in pain. Dominic softens on his grip but his face remained deadly. "You watch your mouth now, Adele. If you haven't jumped in front of that human mutt," Dominic made a face of distaste, "You won't have to drink from me to save your pathetic life and that dog won't have to suffer now."

"I-what-drink-what?" I paled. Julian. "How is he? Where is he?"

Dominic rolled his eyes at me. "Seeing that vampire's blood has healing properties, you drank from me so your wound would heal and you wouldn't die."

"What about him? Why does he have to suffer?" Then I got angry. "Why does he have to suffer! He wasn't the one that made me like this! It was Maxine's fault that I am here as I am!"

I felt a hard slap across my face and stars blinded my vision for a moment. "You-"

"Don't you dare blame Maxine for this, you stupid human! It was you! You alone jumped in front of that freaking dog and for what! What! You alone came here, you alone jumped in front of that human mutt and you alone should stop shouting! Stop blaming everyone for something that is your own fault!"

That struck a cord in me. I know it was nobody's fault yet I hated it when it was him that pointed it out. "Stop calling him a dog! His name is Julian, you stupid blood-sucker!"

Instantly I knew I've chosen the wrong words to say because I was thrown across the wall and the impact against the shelves knocked the breath out of me.

The shelves broke under my weight and I coughed painfully as I tried to sit up. Anger boiled in me as I looked up to face Dominic with the same amount of hatred as he has for me. "You did not just throw me across the room."

"Oh, I think I just did. But you'd live seeing that you've fed from me. After all, vampire's blood does make you humans stronger." Dominic gave me his infamous smirk and I stood up angrily, surprised to find my bones not destroyed. A thought popped into my head and I smirked in return.

"Oh, really?"

I punched Dominic right in the face and he fell backwards, crashing into the white table-clothed tea table and breaking it under his weight.

Wow, now I don't blame him for feeding me blood at all.

Dominic shot up and glared down at me, his fangs extracted but surprisingly I do not feel afraid. Must be the stupid adrenaline and my ego. "I definitely did not see that thought." Dominic hissed in annoyance.

"Oh, you didn't flush your mind-reading talent down the toilet now, did you? Or did you flush your brain with it together?" I smirked and he let a low treating growl escape his lips but I didn't back down at all. I used this chance to ask him, "Where is Julian? What did you do to him?" Suddenly I got all lowly again. "Please don't hurt him."

"He is being held at the basement. No visitors allowed." Dominic smirked at my annoyance. "He is being punished for your brainless acts. Not something I'd want you to see, though."

I paled, "What did you do? What did you do! It's not his fault! Let him go! I want to see him!" And I rushed to door but Dominic's steel grip hold me back. "Let go of me! I want to see him! Let me see him! Why are you doing this? No, please, let me see him!"

"Stop this childish act! Get yourself together, for God's sake!" Dominic looked annoyed as he held me back when I was kicking to be free. My conscience was telling me it was my entire fault Julian is in the condition he is in now. Dominic doesn't understand; it's my entire fault.

"Yes, I don't understand you at all. Why are you acting this way? You only met him! Stop that, stop kicking me! Oh for the love of God, stop it!"

Dominic had thrown me on the bed and was pinning me down but I didn't care, I was too busy trying not to cry. Dominic looked at me and sighed, his face ceased with a mixture of pity and regret. And I hate pity.

"Look, look, don't cry, ok? Sorry, Adele, please don't cry." Dominic pulled me up in a sitting position and into his arms.

Hmm, so boys do hate it when girls cry.

"Yes, so don't cry. I don't want them to come in seeing you all red eyed and start bombarding me with the silliest questions. Like how I got you in that nightgown."

I froze and looked down for the first time at what I was wearing. One look and I start shrieking. "Why am I in this disgusting pink nightgown! Who did dress-up with me? Holy macaroni, don't tell me it's…"

"Oh, you mean changing you from your blood soaked outfit to this nightgown? I dare say I do like this nightgown." Dominic purred, suddenly very seductive, "And everything underneath it."

My blood shot up to my face with the thought of Dominic doing dress-up with me when I'm unconscious and seeing every part of my…

"Of course it's not me, dimwit!" Dominic laughed, "Who'd want to see your unattractive body anyway!"

I scowled at him but I couldn't help looking at the way he was laughing now. Such a carefree laugh without his usual snappy attitude on. He looked so much like the little Dominic back at the time when they were walking down the street before being attacked by that vampire…

Dominic seemed to read my mind because he immediately stopped laughing and glared at me instead. "So you saw it."

It wasn't a question. It was a statement.

I frowned at him, "Saw what? You meant the dream?"

"You weren't supposed to see that…" Dominic wasn't looking at me anymore and I didn't bother looking at his expression. His voice sounded like a mixture of sadness and hatred. "When you drink my blood, you'll be able to see my memories and vice versa. I didn't expect you to see that part of my memory."

"So by that you mean that every time I drink from you or from any of your brothers, I will be able to see their memories?" I asked uncertainty and received a very angry glare from Dominic.

"I don't see why you'll be taking any blood from my brothers, not like I will let them give you anyway."

I narrowed my eyes at him, "I am not yours now, right?"

"No." Dominic barely looked at me when he said that and I let out a small sigh of relief. Now it's his turn to narrow his eyes at me. "Why? Am I not 'yummy' enough? Or do you have someone else on your mind? For example, that human mutt?"

Hmm, why the sarcasm? Jealous?

"It's Julian, you stupid vampire." I snickered at that, lately I've been using a lot of the phrase 'you stupid vampire'. "Sorry, no. You do not look yummy to me at all and I do not have anyone on my mind, yet. You'd know if I have one anyway."

"I'm not jealous, nincompoop. And don't flatter yourself. It's not like anyone here would want you more than anything but dinner." Dominic smirked when I throw a punch at him and he successfully dodged it. "You have so got to do better than that."

I rolled my eyes at him and stood up at the other side of the bed. Dominic looked at me with curiousity, wondering what I am to do next. I smiled slyly and pulled at the covers, hard.

And as predicted, Dominic fell off the bed and landed on his face. Boy was he not glad at all. I laughed even harder when he stood up looking so annoyed and his hair a mess. He walked towards me and I kept on laughing, ignoring the fact that he might get angry and strangle me to death. I laughed even more, strangle me to death! He might as well suck me dry before he does that.

Dominic had stopped in front of me and he no longer looked annoyed or what-so-ever. He sighed and he pulled me into a hug. "Why are you crying?"

Crying? Oh, that must've explained the salty taste on my lips. I laughed to myself, I must be going crazy to the point where I cry and I don't even notice it. But deep inside, somehow I know why I was crying.

I am stuck here with a bunch of vampires that I'd soon one day be married to, I just caused Julian to get hurt and I am laughing at my crying in front of a moron vampire. I don't even let my parents see me cry when they're alive and now I'm letting someone see me cry. And this someone turned out to be an idiot!

"Will you stop calling me an idiot! Geez, what is wrong with you?" Dominic's cold body made me feel even guiltier when I thought about how warm Julian's body was. I was angry now, I don't know why, I just is.

I pushed Dominic away, forgetting that now I'm stronger than I used to be thanks to his blood and accidentally putting too much strength in it. His body came in contact with the table and it broke under his weight. The next thing I know, Dominic had pinned me against the wall and his eyes a fury red. One look at his red eyes had me shivering with fear. Dominic is beyond angry. He reminds me of the time back at the waterfall.

I gulped and tried to struggle free, "Let me go!"

"Oh, afraid of the big bad monster now, little princess?" Dominic chuckled and spoke in the same voice he did back at the waterfall, "But where is the prince charming-oh, pardon me-wolf to save your pathetic little neck? Don't worry, my dear little princess, I won't kill you. I won't even hurt you! Just let me have a taste of your oh-so-tasty smelling blood of yours, pretty please?"

I struggled but Dominic had both of my hands pinned above me and another hand of his was too busy trailing up and down my body. No way on earth am I letting him take a taste! I don't want to be a freaking vampire!

"What, not letting me taste at all? And who said about turning you into a vampire anyway? I can always just bite and leave you to die…"

That's even worst! I don't want to die, not yet! No, I don't want to die just yet! What's wrong with this stupid vampire anyways?

"What's wrong with me? Oh now that's offending, little princess." Dominic looked serious all of the sudden. "You have no idea how great your blood smelt when you were there at the waterfall all bloody. You surely remember what happened back there, no? Oh, I had a hard time controlling myself, little princess!"

I looked at him in disgust and shivered when Dominic hissed angrily, "Especially when that stupid flea-bitten dog hugged you so tightly and he even snarled at us when we tried to touch you! So protective of his little darling, no? Christopher had to practically pull him off of you!"

My eyes widen, so it was Julian who was hugging me so tightly…My heart went into a sudden tap dance as my mind did a flashback at what Dominic said to me about Julian. Julian likes me. But why? We just met!

Dominic growled and my mind snapped back to him. Dominic looked beyond annoyed, "That silly fool probably thinks he found his soul mate! Ha! His soul mate that will marry a vampire, how funny will that be?"

I looked at him, my body tensed. Soul mate?

"Yes, little princess. I don't know 'bout that werewolf but I know that when you look at someone and you can't see anything else but that one person, than that person is definitely your soul mate. Julian must've thought he had found his soul mate."

Dominic gave me a fangy smile when I looked at him questioningly.

"You!"
