Ch. 5

Barrage of Urges

"What is it Kerr what's the matter" the concern painting her fathers face was obvious Kerry couldn't help but notice the smirk on Michel's face oh how she just wanted to slap that look right off his face but later.

"Oh its nothing I think

I left my phone in Stacy's office I'm going to just check my car maybe i'll get lucky and it'll be there" with a quick smile she stepped out to her car opening the door what am I suppose to do now Kerry couldn't help but feel overwhelmed

by her current situation first thing first shell grab her phone covering the slip at the door and try to hurry through this dinner and push Michel out the door as soon as possible. Kerry could feel Michel approach the car from behind

her. "What is it that you expect to do here Michel, if you plan on hurting my family I'll wrap you in your silk sheets and drag you into the sunlight" Kerry felt Michel's hands on her as she finished her sentence and spun her around

roughly pushing her against the car there was a look in his eyes she couldn't quite place but it was not a pleasant look at all.

"If I was here to hurt you or your family do you really think I would be here having dinner with you and

your father." There was a low growl in Michel's voice as he spoke. Kerry pushed him away and went to walk away just as she reach the door Michel grabbed her by the wrist spun her around. It shocked Kerry to feel his soft lips on hers just

as quick as it had happened it was over. "Kerry I am here to help you whether you believe me or not" the sadness in his eyes caught Kerry off guard she walked into the house more confused than she was when she walked outside.

"Did you

find your phone" Her dad asked as she stepped back inside. A quick smile to her lips and a quick lie off her tongue

"Yep it was right in my front seat I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached" Kerry chuckled as she felt her stomach twist

she hated to lie to her dad but she couldn't tell him for his own safety and he wouldn't believe her anyway.

"Nice lie there you're getting better if I couldn't hear your pulse racing right now i'd never know that you were lying" she heard

Michel whisper under his breath. She elbowed Michel in the side but just then *GROWL* Michel and her father both looked at Kerry with eyes wide with shock

"Sorry guess I'm hungrier than I had thought" Kerry hadn't realized how hungry she

really was until just then.

"Well I have supper all set and ready spaghetti with garlic bread and a cheese cake for dessert" Kerry's father beamed with pride she just smiled as she led Michel to the kitchen. "So Michel tell me a

little about how you and Kerry met and don't be shy I made plenty so dig in."

"Well thank you for the offer Stephen may I call you Stephen?" Kerry's father nodded "But you see I already ate earlier but I appreciate the gesture. To start I

guess Kerry and I met last year I ran into some trouble in a laundry mat and well she did her best to help me, she just ended up staining one of my favorite shirts in the process but I was grateful none the less and we've kept in contact ever since" Michel

said as if all that had happened to him and Kerry was just as exciting as a board meeting. Kerry's father and Michel talked and talked. Kerry just kind of faded out and started to eat and she hadn't realized just how hungry she was until

she noticed her father and Michel just staring at her.

"What are you two looking at haven't you seen a growing young woman eat before." Kerry could feel the blood rush to her face.

"Well Kerry that's all well and good but you do realize

you've polished off the spaghetti and garlic bread by yourself" Michel said with a sly grin stretching across his face.

"You sure that you're feeling ok Kerr you've got me worried now" Kerry's father's voice full of concern but there was

something else there in his voice but Kerry didn't have time to ponder that as all the food in her stomach came straight back up and she was running down the hallway. After what seemed like hours but was probably closer to minutes she felt

as if nothing was left in her stomach she could hear her dad and Michel arguing in the kitchen.

"Look Stephen its like I told you her body won't process food anymore she can't eat that stuff her body will just push it right back up".

"Well I don't care what either of you say she's going to be just fine she's not like you two monsters" wow her dad sounded angry but it was the second voice that made Kerry's blood freeze over.

"You know you don't feel that way I did what I

had to and you knew that from the beginning now with what Kerry is going through we don't need you in denial making things worse. why haven't you told her about her birth." this was the cold questioning voice of her mother. Kerry's father

cleared his throat as he started to talk but they all stopped as Kerry slowly entered the room.

"Kerr are you alright I'm sorry if my cooking was that bad you should have said something we could have ordered pizza" Her father stared

nervously at her.

"What is she doing here she left she has no right to step back into our lives like nothing happened. . . ." Kerry was in a rage but Michel cut her off quickly.

"Kerry she's here to help there are things you should know

about yourself we need your mother here she and I are both here to help" Kerry's mind replayed that moonlit dream her mother there holding that mirror and her image covered in blood *Shudder*.

"She's the problem in the first place she's

the one who left " Kerry was seething with rage by now. "Kerry calm down just look at me keep your eyes on me and breath now tell me when's the last time you ate how many nights has it been?" Michel calmly coaxed Kerry to look at him.

"What are you talking about Michel you just watch me try to eat a bit ago" Kerry watch as her vision blurred and her stomach growled with hunger the pain was just unimaginable. Kerry's throat went dry and this pounding throbbing

noise was all Kerry could hear just bu bump, bu bump, bu bump. "What's that noise it's so loud I just want it to stop the noise is so loud "Kerry tried to scream over the noise as the beating picked up. Finally after several minutes of

flailing around trying to find the noise it starts to fade. It wasn't until the noise faded that she felt the wind on her face and realized someone was carrying her while running so fast that all Kerry could see was a blur. It was Michel

where was he taking her but just as she had started to wonder what was going on they had stopped near some trees at a park. Michel sat her down on a bench gently he lowered himself so that they were face to face her gently grabbed her

chin kissed so softly. "Kerry you need to feed I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet but you're a vampire now. Well more like a half vampire but still you need to feed." Michel's voice was barely more than a whisper but Kerry

heard him loud and clear vampire how could she be a vampire him it's him it must have been him he had told her once that he could bite someone with out them noticing. Kerry could feel the rage rise with in her she pushed Michel as hard as she could. The surprise written all over Michel's face

when he fell back with a skid against the ground but that wasn't enough for her it's all his fault he did this to me. She stepped up to Michel as he jumped up

"Kerry calm down it's not my fault I didn't even realize what was happening until

I made some calls" Michel ran his hand through his hair a nervous gesture, she started swinging at him. She connected on the first swing but barely after which Michel start to dodge them one after another then she heard the fairest

little voice sing out

"There is a castle on a cloud, I like to go there in my sleep, Aren't any floors for me to sweep, Not in my castle on a cloud. There is a room that's full of toys, There are a hundred boys and girls, Nobody shouts or

talks too loud, Not in my castle on a cloud." She turned to see who was there. She recognized that porcelain skin and golden hair and even that dress it was Lucy what was she doing here at night Kerry wondered it wasn't until she felt

Michel's arms lock around her tightly that she even remembered Michel was even there. He brought his wrist to her mouth and she tasted it with fear she realized the coppery taste was his blood she wanted to gag to spit it out or even to throw it up but she

couldn't stop herself she just drank and drank and drank until the world went black and she slipped into dream land.

"Thanks for the aid Lucy".

"No problem Michel this is what I came to help with she's in for a long painful week" Lucy

knelt and kissed the top of Kerry's head.
