Chapter 5

Billi's POV

This is not my meadow. I thought. I was lying on the ground, staring up at the sky. I was in a forest and I had passed out and woke up here. The guy, what's his name, was nowhere in sight. I slowly got off the ground, looking around to make sure he wasn't there. No time to waste! Gotta get back to Lee! I thought. Only one problem, though.

"Which way is it?" I muttered to myself out loud. I had no idea which way we came from and which way to go. I sighed, angry. How did I even pass out?

~Flashback~

"You better let me go! Even if you do take me to the vamps, they won't be happy. You grabbed the wrong girl! Well, technically we're the same person, but you grab the wrong part!...That didn't sound right, but it's true! I'm useless without Lee and she's useless without me! So, it's pointless to take just one part!" I ranted as the guy carried me to where ever we were going. I was slung across his shoulders like a sack of potatoes. I tried pounding on his back, becoming dead weight, hell, I even tried biting him! But he refused to let go of me. I sighed.

"I'm thirsty! If you don't feed me, I'll die of starvation! Your masters won't be too happy about that!" I complained. I heard him growl. I think I pissed him off. I thought to myself.

"Well?" I asked. He sighed and threw me off of him. I landed on my butt, too surprised to land on my feet. I mumbled a few cuss words under my breath and fixed my hat, which, miraculously, was still on my head. I watched him search a bag that he kept on his back, which is why we never noticed it before I noted to myself. I was guessing he kept his guns and what not in there. He pulled out a bottle of a red liquid out of the bag and held it out to me. I took the bottle from him.

I had just taken off the cap and brought the bottle to my lips, when the pain hit. I gasped and felt my eyes grow wide. I fell to the ground on my side, dropping the blood and spilling it. I was slowly losing conscience.

"What the-" I heard him say before blacking out.

~End Flashback~

Huh. His first words. But I wonder what that pain was about. I thought to myself. I felt weak. I was regretting spilling that blood, even if I didn't do it on purpose. I sighed. Guess I should start walking. Maybe I'll find an animal somewhere near here. I thought and cringed. Me and Lee didn't want to hurt anyone, so we stuck with animals. Since that experiment happened, we'd sometimes take too much blood and accidently kill the person. I hated the animal blood. It wasn't that good. And it didn't make me that strong, either. But, as long as I could survive off it, I'd have to stick with it. I sighed. Well, time to hunt. I stopped where I was standing and listened. I couldn't really hear anything since I was too weak, so I decided to do it the hard way. By stalking.

I jumped on the nearest tree branch. I looked around myself, trying to see tracks or a deer or anything. I spotted a brown rabbit not too far away from me. I'm sorry, bunny. I thought to myself and jumped towards it. I landed next to it and grabbed it before it could run away. I bit it and it instantly died. I drained it after a few minutes. Holding back the shudder that was trying to go up my back, I placed the rabbit down and dug a small hole. I placed the rabbit in the hole and covered it again. I could feel blood on my face, so I had to use my shirt to wipe it off. I frowned.

"One rabbit's not enough." I muttered. Suddenly, I felt someone standing behind me and spun around. It was the guy. I glared at him and he just studied me.

"Blood." I demanded. He sighed and handed me the bottle he was carrying. I took it from him and took a drink. It was sweeter then the animal blood, which meant it was human. I silently drank in my guilty pleasure. It was so much better then animal blood. And, after not having it for a few years, it was even more delicious. I drank it all in a few minutes and immediately felt better. Still kind of weak, but better.

"Thanks." I muttered and threw the bottle away. He didn't say anything, just turned around and started walking.

"I'm not following you." I grumbled and went the other way. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of me and blocking my way. I glared at him and he just raised one of his eyebrows, as if asking where I thought I was going. I sighed and lowered my head. He passed by me and started walking the way he was going, knowing I had to follow. I sighed and stayed where I was.

"At least tell me your name before we go on!" I shouted after him. He stopped and stood there for a few seconds. Then he turned and looked back at me.

"Kyle."
