12:05 AM

Bela awoke suddenly, feeling weird and covered in her own dried blood. The wounds had all but healed...and her clothes were torn. She remembered every second that the hellhounds tore into her flesh...and then everything went blank. She must have died...

As she stood, the door to the motel room opened slowly.

"Bela. You're awake."

"Lexi...you're going to tell me what is going on." Bela demanded.

"Of course."

Lexi than told her everything...that she had been a vampire for a very long time and when she found out the truth about Bela's deal she couldn't let her go to hell. So she gave Bela her blood to save her.

"In order to be a vampire you had to die with the blood in your system. Most people don't really know that...my guess is that those hunters you associated with didn't know that either...but it's true. So now to complete the transformation we need to get blood in you...or you'll just die again."

"Wait blood? As in human blood. Are you insane?" Bela asked.

"No, sorry. It's the only way you will live. Don't worry, you don't need to kill anyone, I can help you get what you need."

"No."

"What?" asked Lexi.

"I didn't ask for this. I don't want to be a monster...you don't think I know about the supernatural? Lexi I will be hunted. I didn't want to die or go to hell, but I'm not going to be a vampire either."

"Bela, you don't have to be a monster. I've lived like this for a long time, but I don't kill people. I do what I have to do to survive...donar bags, sometimes animal blood...but I don't kill people. You're good at hiding and running Bela, as long as you don't leave corpses you'll be fine. I couldn't let you die, you don't deserve it."

"You have no idea what I deserve..."

"I know more than you want me to know. Look, just give me the chance to show you that you can handle this. Please."

Lexi suddenly grabbed Bela's arm and blurred off. They ended up at a safehouse, away from human contact. She couldn't let Bela just give in and kill...but she needed somewhere for Bela to stay while she went out and got blood for her.

Hours later Lexi had slowly given Bela glasses of blood until she got used to it. Bela was torn...she found it disgusting yet the vampire part of her couldn't get enough.

This continued for days until Lexi was sure Bela could be in the same room with a human and not want to lose control and attack them. It seemed to work. Lexi encouraged Bela to not close off her emotions, as well as taught her everything else Bela didn't already know about vampires...but Bela was still a bit angry that Lexi had turned her.

Once Lexi had left for a few days, Bela decided it was time to go. She left without giving Lexi any goodbye...she needed time and she needed to be alone. It had been 2 weeks since she died...and came back. Bela's mind went back to that night...she'd told Dean about Lilith, but did it work? Did he survive? Even though she knew if anyone could stop Lilith it would be Dean, she was fairly certain that even he couldn't kill her. She then told herself she could care less...but that was a lie. As much as she loved to piss him off, loved to hate him...she didn't, not really.
