Oooohh...A new update, i bet you're happy!! LMAO

"I don't know, but until I heal, you're not leaving my side." He growled pulling me onto his bed and I clung to him. If this is what it took to make sure Kain was Kain I didn't mind so much.

"Um, nurse…how is he doing today?" I asked as I walked out of his room slowly with the nurse. She turned to me; she was as beautiful as any of the other people here, tall, thin, long dark brown hair, like mine used to be after my change until I cut it, and bright blue eyes.

"To be honest, I think he's just fine. But there seems to be something that we are missing, we're not too sure just yet, now it was said he fell off the tower, now yes there were injuries from that, but any damaged caused by that is far gone." She said pursing her lips.

"So what are you saying exactly?" I asked worried.

"There seems to be some damage inflicted by other vampire's magic, which is the only thing that was can come up with." She said and shook her head.

"Someone…." Damn him. I hated Marcus so much.

"I think that maybe you should let him rest a little on his own. He's been trying to keep up a protection shield around the two of you, it's wearing him out, not to mention it completely ineffective since he's so weak." She said.

"Oh…ok." I said and let her usher me from the hospital wing. "Don't worry; sometimes it's better for people to get out and away from the problem for a little while. The King is strong he'll pull through, don't worry, Miss." The nurse said then bowed to me walking down the hallway, and I walked in the opposite direction.

I had never really had the chance to explore much of the castle, let alone leave it, and that was just what I was going to do. Kain would be fine; I knew that, he had so many guards stationed around the infirmary that I usually had trouble getting in.

I went quickly to change my clothes finding that in this world my street clothes wouldn't fit in at all I chose another dress. It was a light lavender purple color, with a rich purple over coat the went to my feet and tied in the front corset style. I picked up the matching purple necklace; there were no words that could describe its beauty.

I didn't feel that I looked up class. I was very curious as to why these people dressed this way when most of them were well aware of the outside world.

When I was done getting dressed I picked up my dress and ran down the stairs and to the front door. Luckily there were no terrifying guard guys standing there that wouldn't let me out, I just turned the knob and I was gone. Easy as that.

Slowly I made my way around the town, the town wasn't as modern as I once thought it was, and the people that I saw weren't like the normal people that I saw for the first time from Kain's window. I wonder why they looked so different.

It was odd this place was so full of life, and yet I never knew it was here. As I was walking I received many bows from people that I had met from the night of the ball. Even had a few conversations. But…it was time to go back, it was getting dark, and I had no idea what happened here at night, and I was in no hurry to find out.

I turned right around where I stood and bumped into someone.

"Ah, sorry." I said and kept walking. I didn't know anyone out here, I didn't really know them anyway, so I wasn't too sure if I could stop and ask for directions back to the palace.

I must have walked in so many circles because I was myself getting a little tired and dizzy.

"Why, if it isn't you." Someone said and I turned to be face to face with Zane. (If you don't remember refer to chapter 2)I managed to keep my face composed as I walked directly by him. His hand caught my wrist and he pulled me back, holding me to him with his arms wrapped around me.

There was no way I could possibly fight, no way at all. I was already tired, and he was stronger than me by far, I could tell it just by looking at him.

"Ah! Let me go." I cried as I felt him start kissing my neck, it felt gross and wrong, and filthy.

"I never did get to taste your blood." I heard him whisper, then his mouth crushed against my neck once again, and I saw the whiteness of his hair from the corner of my eye, leaning against my neck. I felt his teeth sink in and I screamed. I had never experienced anything quite so painful, my initial changing, well I hadn't been conscious so I never felt it.

This was almost unbearable. I felt a tear slide down my face, as I went limp in his arms, and I felt him smile against my skin. He never stopped, I wasn't sure that he ever would. Until he roughly removed his fangs from my neck and let my fall to the ground.

He took his time, I watched him lick off his lips from my blood and then I laid there in horror as I watched him sit himself on my, and reach for the ties of my overcoat.

"N…no." I said.

"Shh." He she covering my mouth with his hand.

"I really wouldn't do that if I were you." I heard someone say, it sounded like a guy.

Distracted; Zane looked up.

"Oh, and what are you going to do about it?" he scoffed, and looked away.

At that moment I found out exactly what he was going to do about it. Zane was thrown off me and smacked into the side of a tree, and then lay there. He didn't move. How was that possible, he was a vampire, he was strong.

Scared and confused I tried to get up, but I was stopped by someone pushing my shoulder back down.

"I wouldn't move just yet…" he said, I tried to focus in on his face buy my eyes were not working right.

"Who-Who are you?" I asked, my eyes finally adjusting to let me see someone, he was really good looking like most of the ones around here. But he was blonde with was odd, no guys that I've seen here had blonde hair, just black or brown. There was Zane but his was white, and probably fake. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes too, he was very manly, not so boyish, as he was rugged.

"My Name is Alec Greer, it's nice to save you miss?" He looked at my questioningly.

"Miss Mika. Mika Tiers." I said pushing my hands at the ground trying to get up, seeing my struggles Alec took my hands and helped me up.

I finally got a full look at him. He was wearing a loose white collared undershirt beneath a black jacket and I pair of jeans. He was one of the ones dressed normally. That was odd.

"Can I help you get back to somewhere?" He asked still holding my hands.

"Um…if you don't mind I need to get back to the palace." I said slyly getting my hands away from him to move my hair to be behind my ears, when my hands brushed the wound on my neck pain seared through it, and I winced.

"Are you alright?" he asked noticing.

"Yeah, I just need to get back." I said.

"I'm afraid that you can't." He said sadly.

"What do you mean I can't?" I asked my voice sharp.

"It's become dark, the palace won't let people through their doors after that, and they are afraid of letting in rogues…which you're not, right?" He asked searching my face.

"No…no I'm not." I said tears coming to my eyes. "I have no where to stay, I can't get in, there's…" My face fell into my hands as I thought about Kain and how I'd left him alone.

I jumped when I felt Alec take me in his arms and hold me, though I didn't push him away.

"It's alright, you'll be alright." He cooed in my ear.

"You don't understand Alec, I have nowhere to go." I cried clinging to the back of his shirt with my hands.

"You can stay with me tonight." He whispered and he just held me.

"Where's Mika?" I asked the attending nurse.

"She left this morning Sir, I told her that you could use some time alone." She replied curtly.

"Can you please get her for me? I think I've had all the alone time I can handle thank you." I said.

"She hasn't returned your Majesty. It became dark; I fear that the guard will no longer let her in." The nurse whispered.

"You can't be serious." I scoffed trying to get up but the nurse held me down with her power.

"I'm afraid that I cannot allow you to move your Majesty, I'm sorry." She said.

Dammit!

"You better hope for your sake that she's okay." I hissed at the nurse, she didn't even appear to have heard me.

"Thank you again Alec, so much for letting me stay here." I said curling up against him on the couch. When I yawned he looked at my confused.

"No problem." He said. "Did you just yawn?" he asked.

"Um…yeah…" I said wary, vampires usually never slept, and drank blood all the time, I did neither.

"Do you…you know sleep?" he asked his brown eyes lighting up.

"Yes, everyday." I said trying to light the mood.

"That's amazing." He said.

I blushed.

I stared up at him; he seemed so mesmerized by the idea.

"It's you." He said after a moment.

"It's me…what?" I asked confused, and a little alert, even though I was so tired.

"It's you that mesmerizes me." He said staring at my lips, his face seemed so contorted with want that I felt a little scared. Kain's face filled my mind.

"Well, if you're going to sleep, you can't sleep on the couch." He said in disapproval looking away from me.

"Alec…" I whispered, I think I may have caused another problem.

"It's ok, I get it Mika." He said softly, as he picked me up and carried me into another room. It was not so large but it had a bed and that's all I care about.

He set me down and began walking away, when I reached out and caught his arm.

"What is it?" he asked, not angrily, or frustrated, just a little worn out.

I felt like crap, I knew his feelings for me already.

"I can't…never could…"

"Yes…?"

"Sleep alone, after being changed," I said blushing and looking down.

"Oh…" he seemed to get it so I let go of his sleeve.

I let my gaze drop to the ground when I watched him walk away.

The I felt the bed sink down and I felt his arms snake around me and hold me to him.

"Is this ok?" He whispered in my ear.

I nodded knowing that he would realize.

I felt so safe nestled into his chest, warm even.

"Goodnight beautiful…" he whispered.

"G'night." I sighed and drifted off into darkness.

REVIEW AND WHAT NOT!! GRRR
