Pt.3

"Lady Annalisa…."

What? Where am I?

"Lady Annalisa…."

Who's there? Someone shook my arm. I slowly opened my eyes to a worried look on Christian's face.

"Christian?" I asked groggily. I tried to sit up, but I fell back sinking into the pillow. "My head.." I sighed. Christian reached up and gently messaged my forehead. "What are you doing?" I demanded.

"Watching over you until you are better Lady Annalisa." There was silence then. Christian continued to message my forehead not making eye contact. Then I remembered Christian's face when Gangrel bit me…. Gangrel! I jumped up ignoring the pain and almost knocking Christian over. I rushed to my mirror and stared at the figure that stood before me. She was beautiful. Her eyes where bright green; a piercing green. Her lips were pink and plump. Her face was slender, but round. Her long black hair went perfectly with her pale, almost white skin. I reached out on touched the mirror with my finger tips and the woman in the mirror touched hers to mine.

"Is… Is it really me?" I asked surprised.

"Yes." Christian simply said. Then he chuckled a bit.

"What is it?" I asked looking at him.

"Just watch out for Edge."

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"Well.." He stopped like he wasn't suppose to say something.

"Go on tell me!" I demanded.

"Excuse me Lady Annalisa, but you're beautiful." He quickly looked away, "And anything beautiful is something Edge wants." He finished still looking away.

I quickly looked back to the mirror. He thinks I'm beautiful. I said to myself confidently. "Please Excuse me M'lady, but I must leave you."

"What? Why?" I asked.

"The Prince of Darkness is calling me."

"I didn't hear anything." Christian walked to my door and without a word quickly stepped out. "Did he just ignore me?" I asked myself. Then I felt it. My stomach turned with hunger. "Whoa." I said to myself holding my stomach. "I should probably find something to eat." I went to open my door and opened it. Once I opened my door I was slammed with new smells and everything was so loud. I held my hands to my ears. The sounds were everywhere, piercing my ears and making me cringe. The sounds brought me to my knees. "What's… Going on."

Suddenly, I felt hands around my waist pulling my backward. Before I knew it I was back in my room sitting on the bed. I looked around and saw my father standing before me. "Dad?"

"Stay in your room for awhile." He said sternly. I stared up at him until the rumble in my stomach was heard. I held my growling stomach and looked down groaning. "Brood." My father said suddenly. Just as before a huge gust of wind ripped through the room and I knew the three vampires were on their way.

When the wind subsided the three vampires, The Brood stood behind my father. "You are still a fledgling my daughter." My father spoke again, "You will feed from Christian until you have grown." I looked at him shocked. Edge and Gangrel were staring at Christian. Christian had a immutable expression on his face.

"H-how am I suppose to-," I stumbled over my words not knowing how to ask my question. Before I could speak again, Christian was in front of me holding his wrist to my mouth facing upward. I stared up at him, jaw clamped shut. I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't going to feed from Christian.

"Come," My father's deep voice was soft as he walked out of my door followed by Edge and Gangrel.

"W-WAIT!" I shouted, but the door was shut before I could finish the word.

"Lady Annalisa." Christian's voice caught my interest and I looked up again. "You must drink. He lifted his wrist to my nose. The sweet smell of- of his blood, made my head swim. I felt a pain in my mouth. I realized it was fangs and slightly opened my mouth. I ran my tongue over my new teeth and gasped a little. They were sharp, razor sharp.

"I can't!" I said finally, "I can't hurt you!" When my mouth was open, Christian took the opportunity and stuck his wrist in my mouth. I gasped and refused to bite down. Then I felt Christian's hand on the back of my head.

"You must Lady Annalisa." He said slowly and sternly. I wanted to shake my head, but Christian's hand on the back of my head stopped me from doing so. Then the smell hit. Christian's blood. It smelled sweet, and I wanted the taste. I slowly bit down and heard Christian wince then I stopped. I was hurting him I couldn't do it! But Christian pushed his wrist further in my mouth making my fangs sink into his arm. "Drink." He commanded. I did.

As I drank, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and froze. My eyes were no longer green, they were red.

I released Christian and shouted.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!" I wanted to cry. Could vampires cry? I wasn't sure but I really wanted to. I didn't want to be a vampire! I looked at my reflection again and screamed. Christian's blood was dripping from my lip! "I'm A MONSTER!" I shouted. I felt arms around me and knew it was Christian. "Help me." I whispered to him. Christian pulled me close and whipped the blood from my lip.

"I'm sorry this had to happen to you, but your father, the prince, had no other choice." Christian's voice was caring and sincere. I liked it.

She's beautiful, so beautiful.

I heard Christian say, "Who is?" I asked him. He looked at me confused.

"What was that?" He asked. I paused and shook my head.

"I must be hearing things." I said studying Christians face.

A tortured soul, a withering rose.

It was definitely Christian's voice, but his lips weren't moving and I looked at him puzzled. Christian smiled down at me.

"Are you still hungry?" He asked. I shook my head. I had my fill. I laid my head on Christian's chest and took a deep breath. "You must rest." Christian said in my ear.

"I don't want rest." I argued.

She is so full of life.

Again I heard Christian's voice, his lips were not moving. "What is that!" I demanded sitting up straight. Then it donned on me. "Christian quick think something!" I yelled making him jump. He nodded. He seemed to have understood. I stared at him and then..

You can read minds.

Christian's voice said again.

"I can read minds!" I breathed. Christian looked embarrassed.

"You really must rest now M'lady." He said quickly standing up.

"No please wait." I said quietly. Christian looked at me. "Please stay just for awhile." I asked.

Of course, if that is what M'lady wants of me. Christian said using his mind. I smiled and laid down on my bed. Christian sat on the floor.

"Can you do anything different?" I asked him.

"I can be.. Strong." he said shrugging.

"What about Edge, or Gangrel?"

"Gangrel is very, very fast and Edge is a changeling."

"So Edge is one of the super twins and Gangrel is the Flash." I scoffed.

"Well you and your father have the most amazing talents."

"Really?"

Really. I heard him think.

My father had the power to well, over power people. He could also control your mind. I all I could do was read your mind.

I yawned and Christian looked at me.

Try to sleep. He thought.

"I don't want to." I said stubbornly.

Christian smiled at me then, "Ok, what do you want to talk about?"

I thought for a moment then remembered all the sounds and smells when I tried to walk outside my door. "When I tried to walk out my door, I couldn't move because of all the smells and sounds. They were awful." Christian looked at me still listening, "Will I ever get over that?"

Christian nodded, "You're still a fledgling Lady Annalisa."

"Please just call me Annalisa." I smiled as warmly as possible. Christian nodded.

"Yes Annalisa." Christian smiled at me.

We just stared at each other. I noticed how… How good looking Christian is.
