*Friday Night, the night before the concert*<bR><bR>

Akasha- "Is everything in order for tomorrow night?"<bR><bR>

Marius- "Everything has been done as you asked my queen. But are you sure that this is how you want to get him?"<bR><bR>

Akasha- "This is the only way I know how. Because of that girl, and her love for him, I cannot hold him anymore. If a vampire must have a human heart, then it will be his downfall."<bR><bR>

Marius- "And Amy, are you sure she understands what has to be done?"<bR><bR>

Akasha- "Amy will not fail me. She wouldn't dare. As long as everything goes according to the concert schedule, we shouldn't have any problems."<bR><bR>

Marius- "I hope so, the Uprising is only five days away. We don't have room for failier."<bR><bR>

Akasha- "Don't worry, my Nicky is too smart to go against me or to risk the people that he holds dear to him."<bR><bR>

Marius- "For your sake, I hope that's right."<bR><bR>

-----------------------------------<bR><bR>

Nick- "Man, that was good feeding." He said as he dropped the body of a young girl and her boyfriend in the lake.<bR><bR>

Monica- "I may never eat again." Nick walked up to her and took her hand.<bR><bR>

Nick- "Let's walk for a while, it's such a nice night, I don't feel like being indoors."<bR><bR>

Monica- "Ok, sounds good." Nick pulled her closely against his side and started walking. The night air was perfect, not too cold and not too hot, and the sky was filled with stars. Even though beautiful, a few dark clouds lingered around the full moon, indicating that there might be a rainstorm sometime soon. Regardless, Nick kept Monica close and continued to walk for a few moments in a comfortable silence. Monica couldn't remember a time when she had been so happy, as long as she was close to him she felt like nothing bad could happen to her. And nothing would ever come between them again. But then a doubt entered her mind, and she took this opportunity to break the silence.<bR><bR>

Monica- "Nick?"<bR><bR>

Nick- "Yeah?"<bR><bR>

Monica- "You know it's not over. Akasha isn't gonna give up. She wants you back for whatever this Uprising is. She won't stop until she takes you away from me." Nick stopped dead in his tracks and turned Monica to face him.<bR><bR>

Nick- "I'm not gonna leave you. No matter what kind of a threat she poses, or whatever plans she's made, it will never be enough to make me leave you. I love you, and I want you to be with me forever." Monica felt the tears well up in her eyes as Nick bent down and kissed her forehead.<bR><bR>

Monica- "I love you too. But I have to know, what is this Uprising? What's the meaning or story behind it?" Nick hesitated in telling, not wanting to scare or upset her anymore then she already was.<bR><bR> 

Nick- "You really want to know?"<bR><bR>

Monica- "Of course. If it involves you, then I want to know everything." Nick stared at her for a moment, admiring the determination and care in her eyes. He lead her over to the bank of the lake and sat down, cradling her body against him.<bR><bR>

Nick- "The Uprising is a ceremony that hasn't taken place since the first vampire was made. And as you already know, Akasha was the first vampire ever made, which is why she's the queen. It's when a spirt named Amel rises and bestows powers to the king and queen. Amel is the spirt of all vampires. When Akasha was on the brink of death, this spirit invaded her body and made her into what she is today. Since she was the chosen one, and the first, she was named queen. For all vampires, we each have our own unique qualities and powers. So, this Uprising is important to her because when Amel rises again, she will gain all the powers of every vampire ever created. Basically, she'll be indestructible."<bR><bR>

Monica- "So, if she's gonna be that powerful, why does she need you? Why can't she just leave you alone?" Monica said as she snuggled closer to him, afraid if she let go she would loose him for all eternity. Nick smiled down at her and held her tighter.<bR><bR>

Nick- "The thing is, Akasha wants to reign over everyone, including Amel. She thought that if she had someone who is as equally powerful on her side, she would be able to over power him too. Plus, at the time she came across me, I had the rage that she was looking for in a king. Her blood is ancient and strong, anyone who drinks from her starts to inherit the power she already has. The older you get, the stronger you become. Akasha is the oldest of us all. She doesn't want me to get away because I have drunk several amounts of her blood, which means that until the Uprising takes place, I pose as a challenge or a threat to her. She doesn't want to take that chance." Monica sat up in his lap, and stared at him.<bR><bR>

Monica- "When did you figure all this out?"<bR><bR> 

Nick- "I was thinking about it last night as I watched you sleep. Which by the way, you look very beautiful when you are." Monica blushed for a moment.<bR><bR>

Monica- "But there's still one more thing that you haven't thought of."<bR><bR>

Nick- "What? When's the next time I'm gonna make love to you?" He said as he gently kissed her neck. Monica sighed at the gesture, but quickly remembered her statement to him.<bR><bR>

Monica- "Even if she only wants to keep you until the Uprising is over, you know she'll kill you as soon as it is over. You betrayed her, and you know she'll want revenge. She won't stop one way or the other." Nick looked up her, knowing that what she was saying was true. Yet, he didn't want to scare her by admitting it. Instead, he pulled her face down to his and kissed her lips gently. Monica returned the kiss gratefully, before pulling back and looking at him with tear strained eyes.<bR><bR> 

Monica- "I can't loose you Nick. I couldn't bare to loose you again."<bR><bR>

Nick- "Your not gonna have to bare it, because it's never gonna happen." Monica hugged him tightly, neither one of them having any clue as to what was gonna pass tomorrow night.<bR><bR>
