I can't help but think as I walk home with my roommate Erica it's 3 AM and we have no business being out this late, but we had to pull and all nighter at work. Only ones walking the streets this late are the freaks!

All I know is I want to get home and I want to get home now! Just perfect now it's raining as if I wasn't having enough fun walking 8 blocks to my apartment. "Oh it's a beautiful day I'll walk to work." God I'm an idiot.

We keep walking and we pass three men in black. They were all blonde and tall; with sunglasses. Each ones body was covered by a black trench coat which only made there pale skin stand out even more. We walked silently pass them and as I did I felt there eyes on me. I just kept walking not looking back even through I thought they were following us.

We got back to our apartment building and went right up to the apartment. I had felt like they followed us the whole way home, but was to scared to look. "Seaira did you see those guys."

"Yeah."

"They were following us all the way home."

"I thought so. Lets lock up and get ready for bed." She went into her room and I went in mine. I quickly got ready for bed and even then I felt someone's eyes watching me. I went to sleep and I had the weirdest dream. I woke up expecting to see the silver mist from my dream and thanked God I didn't. The dream scared me, but why it did so I had no idea. I woke up "Erica?"

"Seaira what wrong?"

"I had the weirdest dream."

"What was it about?"

"Asleep in my room I'm awakened by a howl. I wonder why I'm the only one. I close your eyes and try to fall back asleep, a chill fills the air around me. I look around and see the floor is covered in an unearthly mist.

The mist is as silver mercury and spreading like droplets of mercury all over my room. It creeps its way up the walls and around me.

Now all I can see is the silver mist and all I can hear is tinkling of wind chimes."

"That is weird, I wonder what it means?"

"Oh don't start that witch craft stuff again!"

"It's not witch craft Seaira."

"I don't care!"

"Let me just read the dream."

"Fine." I said as she sat down, I joined her. "Lets take it from the top, first you woke up to the howling of a wolf right?"

"Yes."

"Wolves may have positive or negative meaning and may represent good or evil in dreams. How did you feel when you woke up Seaira?"

"Scared Erica."

"Then it may represent hostility, aggression, sneakiness, and ferocious appetites. A primal, instinctual part of one's psyche which the ego fears might overthrow. Then you saw a silver mist?”

"Yes."

"Mist is a symbol showing disorienting atmosphere of the unconscious. Dream elements that emerge from the mist are meant to be carried back to the conscious world. Silver Indicates that the dreamer has the Spiritual Gift of Intuition."

"Is that all?"

"Seaira whats wrong with you?"

"It's just that every time one of has problem you go to your tarot cards or to your medatating."

"Sorry but I believe in them."

"Look I'm sorry for getting mad, but you know I hate those things.”

"Why?"

"Because." I said looking away. "Because why Seaira?"

"I don't want to talk about it Erica."

"Ok, come on we have to get ready for work."

"This time we're taking the car!" I said walking to my room. "Oh hell yeah!" Erica yelled back going into her bathroom. We both got dressed and went to work. We owned a gothic clothing store, and worked there to ungodly hours every week. Everything went as smooth as usual, which was not the smooth, till night fall. The three men from the night before came in, they were dressed almost the same as last night. "Erica look at the door." I said to Erica working on the register which I was in front of. "Shit."

"Their coming over here." I said below a whisper. "Excuse me miss can I ask you for some help?" The tallest blonde said coming inches before my face. "Sure Sir what are you looking for?" I said moving to the left of him. He smiled evilly at me and said "A new coat."

"Ok well there back here follow me." I said walking to the back of the store. I turned around to see Erica watching us like a hawk. Not only did the tall one follow but the other two as well. "Sir are you looking for a particular style?" I asked turning to see them surrond me. "Not really, just long."

"As long as you coat now?" I said moving towards the longer coats."

"Yes, in black or red."

"How about this?" I asked handing him 2 patent leather trench coats. One in black and the other in red. "I like it." He said taking his coat of and handing it to the shotest blonde. He put the black one on first. "What do you guys think?"

"Looks good." Said the shortest blonde.

"Yeah it does, but lets see the other one." The blonde with the shortest hair said. The taller one but the red one on and the shortest haired one said "I like them both."

"Yeah they both look good," said the shortest. "Then their's only one thing left to do, get them both." He said turning back towards me. "Sure Sir, will there be anything else?"

"No, Seaira." He said with that evil grin on his face. "How did you know my name?"

"It's on your name tag."

"Oh, sorry lets get that rang up."

"Sure." I walked them back up to the front. "Erica ring these up." I said. She quickly rang them up and said "Thank you for shopping at The Raven."

"No, thank you," the tall blonde said looking me up and down. They left "Thank you God did you see the way he was looking at you?" Erica asked. "Yes, and he said my name in the back and I forgot I had my name tag on and..."

"Seaira you don't have your name tag on, remember you forgot it at the apartment." I looked at my shirt and she was right, it was not there. "Oh my God!"

"How the hell did he know your name?"

"I don't know." I spent the rest of the night trying to figure out how he knew my name and watching the door praying he didn't walk through it.

When I got home I went right to bed and I had the dream agian; however this time it continued past the mist. As soon as I woke up I ran into Erica's room and told her the newest part. "Asleep in my room I’m awakened by a howl.

I wonder why I’m the only one.

I close your eyes and try to fall back asleep, a chill fills the air around me. I look around and see the floor is covered in a unearthly mist. The mist is as silver mercury and spreading like droplets of mercury all over my room. It creeps its way up the walls and around me. Now all I can see is the silver mist and all I can hear is tinkling of wind chimes. The mist clears and I’m no longer in my safe room but a hedge maze. The ominous green clouds of bush reach up to the sky and every so often a gargoyles rest in between at it feet. I look behind me to see a wall, so I walk forward into the unknown. It begins rain, the water droplets hit my ivory skin like acid. The howling slashes the air like a knife again and I turn around to see a majestic sliver gray wolf standing behind me."

"It just started all over again and went on from there?" Erica asked. "Yes."

"Shit!

“I know." "Lets see what the dream means."

"Not again."

"Shhhh Seaira and work with me." "Ok." "As I said before the wolf represents hostility, aggression, sneakiness, and ferocious appetites. A primal, instinctual part of one's psyche which the ego fears might overthrow. Mist is a symbol showing disorienting atmosphere of the unconscious. Dream elements that emerge from the mist are meant to be carried back to the conscious world. Silver Indicates that the dreamer has the Spiritual Gift of Intuition.

The maze could represent your current mental outlook. A maze is a frightening and confusing place. If in your dream you are trapped in a maze and are having difficulty getting to the end?"

"I don't really know, I guess so."

"Then you need to stop and consider your current emotional and psychological status.

A gargoyle means some hidden fears you may have concerning matters known only to you. These are matters that you have told anyone about, to rid yourself of these dreams, you must share your fears with someone who is warm and understanding. Like me! Another interpretation of this dream is, that you will soon face embarrassment over some of your own actions.

Dark clouds and a heavy downpour indicate feelings of isolation and helplessness. It was heavy rain right?"

"Yes."

"On the other hand, the heavy downpour could represent unconscious materials and emotions attempting to enter the your conscious mind. Soft white like ivory can indicate the gift of prophesy."

"So what does this mean to me?" I asked. "I think some fear of your's is trying to surface and tell you something Seaira." "Great." "Oh shit we have to open the store!" Erica said looking at the time. "Oh shit your right lets go."

We opened the store and it was a very busy day, so busy I forgot everything that happened over the last two days. Then I had to throw some garbage out in the dumpster in the back, I was just about to throw the bag in when someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Excuse me miss?" I turned to see the tallest blonde. "Yes, sir?" I said nervously. "Let me help you with that." He said taking the bag from my hand and tossing it into the dumpster. "Thank you."

"Your welcome."

"I didn't have my name tag on yesterday." I said going to look at him, but seeing no one there. I ran back into the store, I told Erica what happened "I think he likes you." "Your not funny."

"Shit their coming in the store." "Oh, no."

"Excuse me miss can you help me again?" The tallest said. "No, Seaira is busy, she's on break." Erica said. "Oh well then I'll come back when Seaira is on."

"No, no that won't be necessary I'll take you right now."

"Thank you sweetie." "What are you looking for today?" "A shirt." "What kind?"

"I don't know." "Ok what color?" "Silver."

"Ok, I think I have what your looking for." "I'm sure you do." He said with an evil grin on his face, looking down at me. "Excuse me."

"Just kidding sweet heart." "Ok, anyway what size are you?"

"I don't know." "Ok lets go with this one." I said handing him a silver shirt. He went into the dressing room and then came out with it on. "What do you guys think?" He asked his friends."

"I like it."

"Yeah me too." We rang the shirt up and they once again left. At midnight we went home and went to bed. The dream continued on and this time it got worse. I got up and ran to Erica and told it to her again.

"Asleep in my room I'm awakened by a howl.

I wonder why I'm the only one.

I close your eyes and try to fall back asleep, a chill fills the air around me.

I look around and see the floor is covered in an unearthly mist.

The mist is as silver mercury and spreading like droplets of mercury all over my room.

It creeps its way up the walls and around me.

Now all I can see is the silver mist and all I can hear is tinkling of wind chimes.

The mist clears and I'm no longer in my safe room but a hedge maze.

The ominous green clouds of bush reach up to the sky and every so often a gargoyles rest in between at it feet.

I look behind me to see a wall, so I walk forward into the unknown.

It begins rain, the water droplets hit my ivory skin like acid.

The howling slashes the air like a knife again and I turn around to see a majestic sliver gray wolf standing behind me.

He licks his blood stained teeth, then the familiar tinkling of chimes begins.

The its no longer a wolf but a man; dressed in,a silver shirt, gray boots, black jeans and a black duster.

He is handsome and tall, angelic; but he is no angel.

His blonde hair spills out over his shoulders and his gray eyes seem to shoot out silver sparks.

He stalks slowly toward me fear keeps me planted there like a white rose.

He brushes his hand across my face and places it behind my neck.

He pulls me to him and plunges his fangs deep into your snow white neck. Descents into a sea of crimson and drinks me in. He lets go of me and I fall to the ground. Last thing I see is a white rose falling."

"Oh God this is to freaky!" Erica said. "It was the tall blonde."

"The vampire in the dream?"

"Yes, who else!" I said. "The blood on the wolf's teeth means unfortunate love affairs.Severe disappointment of some kind. The vampire means for most people, represent powerful and evil creatures. Dreaming about vampires suggests that the you may be feeling overwhelmed in some areas your life and you're struggling with negative thoughts, feelings, and actions. The vampire represents personal attributes or negative habits that drain energy and resources or cause emotional exhaustion. If you are being attacked by a vampire, you may perceive yourself as a powerless victim.

Roses may have their own special meaning and could represent femininity, beauty, love, or romance. Roses may have some spiritual significance as well. They are used when expressing both positive and negative emotions. They unfold and can be considered symbols of innocence. The color of the rose, as well as the details of the dream should be considered when making interpretation. A white rose means purity."

"So what the hell does all this means Erica?"

"I think it's talking about some fear of your's is trying to surface and tell you something Seaira. Something about that guy at the store." "But what?"

"I don't know. Speaking of the store we got to go!" We opened the store as usual. It was about 9 and they still hadn't shown up, thankfully! I went out to get Erica and I a slice of pizza. I decide to walk because it was just up the street. "Beautiful night Seaira." Someone whispered in my right ear. I turned around to see the three blondes. "How do you know my name?"

"You told us." The tall one said. "No I didn't!"

"Yes, you did." The one with the short blond hair said.

"Oh really when?" I said. "In your dreams." The short one said. "What do you mean?" I said. "So how have you been sleeping lately Seaira?" The one with the long blonde hair asked with and evil smirk on his face. "If you don't leave me alone I'll..."

"You'll what? Are you going to run?" The one with the short blond hair said. "Oh please Seaira run we love chasing after our meals." The shortest said. "Just stay the hell away from me you freak!" I yelled back. "Now why would we want to do that?" The tallest said grabbing my arm and twisting it painfully behind my back. "Ow!" Before I could do anything else a damp cloth with a chemical smell was put over my mouth and nose; then it was all darkness. Out of the black came the dream:

Asleep in my room I'm awakened by a howl.
I wonder why I'm the only one.
I close your eyes and try to fall back asleep, a chill fills the air around me.
I look around and see the floor is covered in an unearthly mist.
The mist is as silver mercury and spreading like droplets of mercury all over my room.
It creeps its way up the walls and around me.
Now all I can see is the silver mist and all I can hear is tinkling of wind chimes.
The mist clears and I'm no longer in my safe room but a hedge maze.
The ominous green clouds of bush reach up to the sky and every so often a gargoyles rest in between at it feet.
I look behind me to see a wall, so I walk forward into the unknown.
It begins rain, the water droplets hit my ivory skin like acid.
The howling slashes the air like a knife again and
I turn around to see a majestic sliver gray wolf standing behind me.
He licks his blood stained teeth, then the familiar tinkling of chimes begins.
The its no longer a wolf but a man; dressed in,a silver shirt, gray boots, black jeans and a black duster.
He is handsome and tall, angelic; but he is no angel.
His blonde hair spills out over his shoulders and his gray eyes seem to shoot out silver sparks.
He stalks slowly toward me fear keeps me planted there like a white rose.
He brushes his hand across my face and places it behind my neck.
He pulls me to him and plunges his fangs deep into your snow white neck.
Descents into a sea of crimson and drinks me in.
He lets go of me and I fall to the ground. Last thing I see is a white rose falling.
I wake in someone's embrace, his embrace.
I turn to see his silver gray eyes smiling at me in the cloudy darkness.
I go to speak but his finger on my lips silences me.
For the first time I realize I'm laying on a white satin bed.
His hands lifts my chin so you look in his electric eyes.
Life is only a dream on your way to death, my sweet??

I jumped out of bed screaming. "Shhhh it's ok, your alright." I looked up to see the silver gray eyes from my dreams and screamed. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a rough kiss. He pulled his lips away and said "Please don't scream, you'll only going to give yourself a sore throat."

"Let go of me!"

"Seaira stop it, you're not going anywhere."

"Yes, I am! Now let go of me!"

"Seaira don't make me put you to sleep again, I thought it take you forever to wake up the first time."

"Let go of me!" "No, Seaira." "Please just leave me alone." I said, my struggling dying against his iron embrace. "Shhhh it's ok." He said petting my hair and pushing me back down into bed. "Just relax it will all begin soon."

"What will begin soon?" "The ceremony." "What ceremony?"

"Now If I told you that it would spoil the surprise."

"Your going to kill me aren't you?”

"Sorta."

"Oh my God! Why?" "Were not just going to kill you."

"So what are you going to rape and torture me first!"

"No, rapping and torturing." "Then what?"

"You need to relax."

"You tell your going to kill and then you tell me to relax." I said hysterically. "Shhh, come on now, close your eyes and go to sleep."

"No, I don't want to go to sleep."

"Alright then how about some TV?"

"I just want to go home." "Seaira you're not going anywhere."

"Why? What do you want with me?" "Only for you to take your rightful place."

"Where is that?"

"With the Brood."

"The Brood?" "We are three vampires, one representing the power of the body, one symbolizing the mind, one to personify spirit and lastly to embody arcane."

"And who do you think I am?" "I know you're arcane."

"No!" "Yes, our legend goes that that a vampire would come and make the body. The body would make the mind and spirit. The mind and body would fight until the spirit set things right. However full balance would not be achieved until you came." "I don't even like the occult!" He laughed "Don't you dare give me that! Remember these?" He said handing me my deck of tarot cards I had not used or seen ever since I was 16. "I have not used them for a while."

"Yes, I know.

"I couldn't handle them then and I won't now."

"Oh but you will."

"No, I won't!" Just then the door opened and their was the short blonde "Edge we're ready."

"We'll be right there."

"No, I'm not going anywhere except home!" I said, my struggling renewed. "Have it your way, I'll just carry you downstairs." He picked me up and trough me over his shoulder kicking and screaming. "Put me down!"

"Now why would I do that?"

"Put me down you freak!"

"Ok." He said lying me down on a stone slab. The short on grabbed my wrist and tied them to a loop at the top of the stone slab. Then the blonde with the short hair did the say to my ankles. "What the hell are going do to you me?" I said struggling against my bonds. "Relax love, we're not going to hurt you." The short haired one said. "Please just let me go."

"No, I can't do that, we need you." The short one said. "I think you have the wrong girl."

"No, Seaira your it, you'll see soon. Edge would you go get my chalice and the book." "Sure, Gangrel." "Christian get the dagger." The one called Gangrel said. "Ok." "You're going to kill me aren't you?" I asked. "Sorta." Gangrel said. "What does that mean?"

"You'll see." He said. "Here Gangrel." Edge and Christian said. "Thank you guys, now lets get that shirt and bra off of her." "No, don't you touch me!" I said struggling even more to break free. "Stop that." Christian said grasping my hips as the others ripped through my clothes. "Edge how are we going to concentrate with her screaming?" Christian asked. "I guess we'll have to gag her." He answered. "No!" I yelled. "I'll go get something to gag her with Gangrel said walking out of the room." "Grel can you get some more candles and matches too?" "Sure Edge." "Sweetie listen to me, I promise that what we're going to do won't hurt at all." Edge spoke softly. "Yes, Seaira we're going to make sure that you'll be fine." Christian said. "You just need to relax." Edge said. "How do you expect me to relax when I tied to a stone slab?" I said through tears. "Don't cry Seaira." Edge said wiping the tears from my eyes. "Don't worry this will all be over soon." Christian said. "How am I not to worry when I don't even know what your going to do?" "Trust us ok." Edge said as Gangrel came in. "I'll put the tropical Novocain on her neck." Edge said. "I get her jeans. Christian said. "I'll gag her. Gangrel said. "No!" I yelled before he gagged me. "Hush now screaming will do you no good." Edge said rumbaing my neck. "Edge you will be her Sire, so you'll answer her vows for her. When she's ready we'll do the second ritual when she is ready." Gangrel said. "Ok, lets do this." Edge said giving me the Novocain. "This might still hurt a little sweetheart." Gangrel said. "Just relax it will be over soon." Christian said. Gangrel came over to stand by where my hands were tied, Christian moved to my left and Edge to my right. Gangrel opened up a book and said "Edge as her Sire you shall answer the following questions for her." "Yes, Gangrel." "Will you learn to except the powers of darkness?" Gangrel asked. "She will." Edge answered. "Will you turn away from the cold, unfeeling light?"

"She will."

"Do you swear to hold the laws of the dark gift above the laws you already know." "She will."

"Will you put your Sires wishes above your own?"

"Yes, she will."

"Will you listen to your Sire."

"Yes, she will."

"As her Sire will you treat her accordingly? "Yes, I will."

"As her sire you may drink first Edge." Edge stepped closer to me and kissed my forehead and then bit down on my neck. I went to scream but the scream but it got caught in my throat. He pulled away and whispered "It's ok." Then Gangrel bit down on the same spot, followed by Christian. I lied there staring blankly up at them. I was dyeing of blood loss. They cut their wrists and drained their blood in the chalice. Edge undid the gag and held my head up as Gangrel poured the blood down my throat. My body began to shake uncontrollably. "Will she be ok?" Edge asked Gangrel. "Yes, this is normal."

"When will she stop?" Gangrel replied "In a moment." My body stopped shaking. "Lets put her to bed." Edge said untying my hands. Gangrel moved to undo my feet and Edge carried me upstairs. Christian opened the door and Edge laid me down. "You rest angel, we'll be back for you tomorrow night." Edge said. He kissed my forehead and left me.

The dream returned:

Asleep in my room I'm awakened by a howl.
I wonder why I'm the only one.
I close your eyes and try to fall back asleep, a chill fills the air around me.
I look around and see the floor is covered in an unearthly mist.
The mist is as silver mercury and spreading like droplets of mercury all over my room.
It creeps its way up the walls and around me.
Now all I can see is the silver mist and all I can hear is tinkling of wind chimes.
The mist clears and I'm no longer in my safe room but a hedge maze.
The ominous green clouds of bush reach up to the sky and every so often a gargoyles rest in between at it feet.
I look behind me to see a wall, so I walk forward into the unknown.
It begins rain, the water droplets hit my ivory skin like acid.
The howling slashes the air like a knife again and
I turn around to see a majestic sliver gray wolf standing behind me.
He licks his blood stained teeth, then the familiar tinkling of chimes begins.
The its no longer a wolf but a man; dressed in,a silver shirt, gray boots, black jeans and a black duster.
He is handsome and tall, angelic; but he is no angel.
His blonde hair spills out over his shoulders and his gray eyes seem to shoot out silver sparks.
He stalks slowly toward me fear keeps me planted there like a white rose.
He brushes his hand across my face and places it behind my neck.
He pulls me to him and plunges his fangs deep into your snow white neck.
Descents into a sea of crimson and drinks me in.
He lets go of me and I fall to the ground.
Last thing I see is a white rose falling.
I wake in someone's embrace, his embrace.
I turn to see his silver gray eyes smiling at me in the cloudy darkness.
I go to speak but his finger on my lips silences me.
For the first time I realize I'm laying on a white satin bed.
His hands lifts my chin so you look in his electric eyes.
Life is only a dream on your way to death, my sweet.
Hear the tinkling of the wind chimes we were whisked away to a moon lit dance floor of black and white marble.

I looked down and I was in a white ball gown and he was in a suit.
My hands slipped into his and we began to dance around the floor.
"Look up." he whispered in my ear and I did.
There was no roof just a silver star lit sky.
My eyes went back to his, which were the same as the stars he spun me out.
I went spinning out of control and back to him. "Do you get it yet?"

I woke up, in a cold sweat, to a dark room. "Seaira its ok you were just dreaming." Edge said gently grabbing my shoulders. He lifted my face so my eyes met his "How are you feeling?" "Fine."

"Are you hungry?" "Yes."

"Lets get you something to eat then sweetie." He went to help me up but I jumped up. "I'm not going to hurt you."

"You already did." "How?" "By bring me here!" "Seaira please." "Please what?"

"Don't say that." "Say what? That you brought me to this hell hole, tied me up, bit my neck and haunt me dreams!"

"We brought you here because this is where you belong. I know it will take a while to adjust but you need to relax. We were all scared when we first came here, but we got over it. As for your dreams thats because you are the one. I didn't give you those dreams."

"I want to go home." I said sliding down the wall behind me and bring my legs to my chest. He walked in front of me and knelt in front of me. "Seaira this is your home now. Please don't make this harder then it has to be." "Just leave me alone."

"No, I can't do that. Come on love lets get you some dinner." "I'm no longer hungry." "Don't do that. I can read your thoughts, we both know your hungry. How about I bring you something to eat up here?"

"No!" "Seaira, I'll force it down your throat if I have to." The look in his eyes said he was serious and from his size I knew he could. "Fine."

"Thank you." He left to get me dinner.

A few moments later he came up with a tray of piping hot soup. I thought it was tomato, but I was wrong, "What the hell is this?" I said spitting it out. "What do vampires eat?" He said taking my napkin and wiping the corners of my mouth. "Oh my God! That is sick and disgusting!" "No, it's not and you better get use to it. Besides that blood is animal blood, you'll like human better." "What kind of animal?" I asked sure I didn't want to know the answer. "Deer." "I'm going to be sick."

"No, you won't."

"Yes, I will." I said feeling like I was going to throw up. "Come here."

"No!"

"Please come here." Without meaning to I rose to meet his arms and lay in them. He brushed the hair away from my face and kissed my temples. "Drink me." "What?" "Bite my neck and drink."

"No."

"Yes."

"I don't want to."

"Do it, you'll feel better." "Please don't."

"Don't what? Try and make you feel better? Sweetie don't fight me, don't fight it. You can't win, you can't beat your nature." "No."

"Your not human anymore love, you need to feed."

"No!" I yelled trying to pull away from him. His grip just tighten around me. "Seaira don't make me force feed you." "Why? Why won't you leave me alone? I didn't want this, I'll never want this. I was happy, I loved doing what I was doing, then you three come along and destroy it. Why?" "Seaira please stop this." "No, just leave me alone."

"I can't do that." "Why! God damn it why!?!?!?!?!"

"Seaira, because I care about you." "You don't care for me, you can't you don't know me."

"I don't need to know you to love you."

"You don't love me! Your crazy!" "Seaira calm down."

"No! I won't calm down! You calm down!" The door opened and Gangrel walked in. "Edge having problems?"

"Yes, she won't eat." "Seaira why won't you eat?"

"Because it's sick." "So your saying human food isn't?"

"Yes." "So it's better to eat animal flesh, then animal blood?" "Yes! I mean no. I don't know. Just leave me alone."

"We will when you eat." Edge chimed in. "I can't eat that."

"Fine then you'll sit in here till your ready to eat. Edge come on, she wishes to be left alone, we'll lock her in here till she wants to act like a good girl."

"Gangrel don't you think thats a little harsh?"

"Edge it's harsh, but if she won't behave then we need to punish her. Now come."

"Alright, I'll be right out. Seaira please just eat."

"Edge!" "Coming." With that Edge walked out and Gangrel shut locked the door. I got up and checked the door and sure enough it was locked. I could not help it I just got into a ball on the bed and began crying. After what seemed like forever I stopped, because I could not cry anymore. I looked around the room for an escape or a phone. I saw a big window to my left, but it had bars a cross it; and even if It didn't it looked like I was 10 stories up. There was no phone, just a bed, a table, 2 dressers, a TV, a full bathroom and a closet. This place was a prison, my personally hell. I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I have to do something. After all I can't stay here or get out of here! I can't stay in this room forever and they can't leave me in here forever can they? I need to go to sleep, I can't keep my eyes open. I when I woke up I heard movement in the room. "Good evening Angel!" "Edge?"

"Yes, Shhhh. I'm not suppose to be in here till you eat." "Then why are you here?"

"To make sure your ok." He said sitting next to me. "Please let me out."

"I can't do that."

"Why?"

"You won't eat. I would like to take you for a tour of the house or into your new room; but you have to eat." "I can't eat that." "Sit up." I sat up and he pulled a bottle of what looked like red wine out of nowhere and to a swig. Then he pulled me to him in a lighting quick motion and kissed, transferring the blood from his mouth to mine. He made me swallow and before I could protest he did it again and again. When he let me breath I yelled "Edge!"

"Feel better?" "Yes, I mean no!" He smiled and laughed "Well, which is it?" "Why?"

"Because you would not do it. I'm sorry, but I didn't want to see you up here for the rest of your vampire life." "I'm not a vampire!" "Have you looked in the mirror? Your a white as a ghost and your teeth are sharp and pointed. Not to mention you hazel eyes are now a bright green. Under that nail polish you nails look like glass. Oh and of course there is the hunger for blood." "No!" "Yes." I started crying again. I could slap myself for crying so much! I knew he was right, I could feel the truth coursing through my veins. "Shhhh baby it's ok." He said wrapping me up into his arms and gently rocked me back and forth. I wiped my eyes with my sleeve and whispered "Thank you."

"Your very welcome." He said picking me up and walking towards the bathroom and door. "Where are we going?" "To wash your face sweetie."

"Thank you." "How many time are you going to say thank you?" "I don't know." "Well, don't, it's my job."

"It's your job to carry me around?" I said as he set me down in front of the sink. "Yes, it is." He said turning on the water. "So what happens when your arms get tired."

"Shhhh!" he said splashing me with water. "Hey!" I said blocking the cold water. "Fine I can play like that too." I said splashing him back. "Oh is that so?" He said grabbing my wrists and pulling up above my head. "Now what are you going to do?" "This." I said kissing him and in the process making him let go. "Ha!" I yelled breaking the kiss and getting him with the water. I ran back into the bedroom. "Why you little vixen!" he said coming after me. "Edge." Gangrel said. "Gangrel, I-I-We." "I told you not to come in here till she feed."

"She feed." "Did you force her?" "Not really." "Then what did you do?" "I helped get the blood in her mouth." "How?"

"By kissing her with it in mine." "Edge." "What? She feed and she's happy." "What's going to happen when she has to do it by herself." "She will and she won't be by herself for a long time." "Alright lets not argue now." "Ok."

"How are you Seaira?" Gangrel asked me. "Fine."

"Good." "Do you need anything?" He asked. "I don't think so."

"Good. Now lets good downstairs in the den and go over the rules."

"Ok." Edge said picking me up. "Hey I can walk." "What did I say my job was?" "To carry me around." I said as we went down the stairs. "Well, then Shhhh." "Fine." I said mock pouting. "Are you pouting? Gangrel she's pouting." "How cute." Gangrel said smiling. "Ok I'm sorry I told you to shhhh." "Ok." I said smiling. They laughed. As we walked in the room. "Christian you missed her pouting!" Edge yelled. "Ohhh." He said acting to be upset. "Ok lets get down to business. If you don't already know he is Edge, he's Christian and I'm Gangrel." He said pointing as he went along. "You must listen to the 3 of us, but most importantly Edge, because he is your Sire."

"What's that? "He will teach you the ways of the vampire. You may go anywhere in the house and the grounds just tell someone. However when you wish to leave the grounds bring one of us." "Ok." "You can be killed by sunlight and fire. Crosses and so forth don't work. Any questions?"

"Gangrel you forgot sunlight." Christian said. "You can go out in the sun, but for no more the six hours at a time. Any questions?"

"What happens If I disobeyed?" I asked afraid to know the answer. "That all depends on you. Lets say you went out without us. What we would do was lock you in your room for the rest of that night and the night after. If you still decide not to listen then we would have to start hitting you and locking you in the room." Gangrel said. "The first time you do something wrong the punishment will be simple and won't hurt. Every time after that the punishment gets more intense." Jay added. "We don't want to have to punish you, but we will if we have to. Just do what your told and we'll all be fine." Edge said. "Any other questions?" Gangrel asked. "Will I get to see my friends and family again?"

"No, sweetheart you can't. You see if we let you do that then it will be just a painful reminder that they will grow, change and die. However you will not." Edge said pulling me a little closer to him. "But, they'll..."

"I know they'll miss you. They'll look for you. They'll never find you." Gangrel interrupted me with. "It's hard at first but you'll get use to it Seaira." Jay said. "How do you know they won't find me?"

"My dear we've made sure they never will." Gangrel said sadly. "How?"

"You don't need to know that now." Gangrel answered. "How God damn it!!?!!?" "That's enough! When I say you don't need to know something you don't need to know it! Do I make myself clear?" He yelled back with hatred in his eyes. "Yes." I whispered back. "I didn't hear you!" He yelled in my face. "Yes!" I yelled. "Good now go up to your room and take a shower."

"Yes, Sir!" I said getting up to leave. "Oh that's it!" Gangrel lunged at me. "Gangrel stop!" Edge said holding him back. Jay grabbed my shoulders. "Gangrel calm down, she needs to adjust like you once did." Jay said. He looked a bit calmer and said "Your right and I'm sorry Seaira. One thing you must learn is I have no patience what so ever and a bad temper. "Please forgive me?" "Your forgiven and I'm sorry for pissing you off." "Thank you and your forgiven." Edge let go of him and Jay let go of me. "Come here." I walked over to him and he enveloped me in his arms for a hug. I hesitantly hugged him back. "Now why don't you go take that shower and we'll be down here waiting." Edge said. "Sure." I said letting in go of Gangrel and walking back to my room. I got in there and ran right into the shower, hoping none of them would come up here. I thought to myself Edge seems nice enough and so does Christian; but Gangrel he seems... Well, unstable. I need to get the hell out of here. What was I thinking when I drank from Edge like that? Stop thinking about it your only going to make yourself sick! How could I not think about it? What drug am I on? "Well, my love if you had not drank it then I would have found another way to get you to."

"Edge?"

"Yes."

"How did you...." "Read your thoughts? Easy sweetie, your mine. We have an unbreakable bond. You will learn to read my thoughts as I can yours." "How did you get in here? I mean I didn't even here you come in? "I can move much faster and quieter then humans, again this is something you soon will learn."

"What else can you do?"

"I can control your mind, body and thoughts."

"Please don't." "Don't worry sweetie I won't."

"And thanks for the complement."

"What complement?"

"You said I was nice."

"Oh your welcome."

"As for what you said about Gangrel your completely right, and lets keep that between us. "Yes, Sir." I said playfully. "Hey are you mocking me?" He said as playfully. "Maybe?"

"Are you ever going to get out of there?"

"Yes, why?"

"Because I want to see you"

"Oh alright, hand me a towel." I slipped my hand out and turned off the water. "Here you are." "Thanks."

"Your very welcome." I dried off behind the shower curtain. "Can you hand me my robe." "Sure." "Thank you." I said putting it on and slipping out of the shower. "Your welcome now let dry your hair." "Ok." He lead me back into my room and brushed my hair. "You have beautiful hair Seaira."

"Thank you." We sat there for 45 minutes in silence. The whole time he carefully fixed my hair until he felt it was perfect. "There we are." He said. "It looks beautiful."

"Thank you. Now what will you wear?" "Where are we going?" "To a party." "What kind of party? I asked as he pulled out 6 dresses and I did my make-up. "It's really more like a family gathering. You get to meet your other brothers and sisters." He said holding one of the dress to my body. "My other brothers and sisters?"

"Yes, they went to London for a while and tonight they're coming back so Gangrel is having a little party for them."

"What are there names?" "Luna, Gangrel's wife, Matt, Jeff and I believe that Matt and Jeff made another female but I don't know her name." He said holding another dress up. "Why were they in London?"

"Luna wanted to see an ill friend of her's, so she left with her feedling." "So how are we related?" "Gangrel made her and we all made you, therefore you two are sisters by blood. Luna made Jeff and Matt, so you are distance relatives with them as are Christian and I. If Matt and Jeff did make another then we are even more distance. Nonetheless we are a family bond by blood. After the ritual tonight we will be even more so."

"What rithual?" "We will each cut our wrists and let the blood flow into a chalice. The cup will be past form Gangrel to Luna to me to Christian, to Matt to Jeff to you and to the one Matt and Jeff made. We will each take a sip and become closer." "Why are there more men then women?" "I don't know, that's just how it turned out. Try this on." He said handing me a black dress. "Sure." I said walking to the bath room. It had to layers one was a black silk and the other a black mesh. At the ends of the mesh were black beads hanging down to gentle hit my legs. It came down to a little be low my knees, not including the beads. The neck lie was v-shaped and it had two thin black straps. "How does it look?" Edge asked from outside the door. "Why don't you come in here and tell me?"

"I thought you'd never ask." He said opening the door. "You look perfect." "Thank you."

"Your very welcome. I have shoes waiting for you outside."

"Ok." The shoes were mesh sandals covered in the same beads. "They're perfect." "No, your perfect." He said coming behind me and wrapping his arms around me. I turned around and looked up into his beautiful eyes. I almost immediately got lost in there depths. "You keep looking at me like that I won't be able to control myself."

"Like what?" I said innocently. He smiled and said "I don't want to ruin your lipstick so lets go to my room I need to get into my suit."

"Ok." I said as he opened the door. "After you my sweet."

"Thank you." We walked to the next room and he opened his door. I turned his lights on and said "Oh this is where that door leads." "What door?" He asked tilting his head to the side. "Oh the with a knob on one side, that's the adjoining door. It needs to be open on both sides in order for us to go from one room to the next." "I see."

"Ok which one the black one or the dark gray?"

"The black one." "I'll be right back." I sat down on his bed and wonder what did my other "brothers and sisters" had to do with the Brood. "How do I look Seaira?" Edge said disturbing my thoughts. "You look great." "What is wrong?" "Nothing why?"

"You look confused." "I was just wondering about..."

"What the others have to do with the Brood?"

"Yes." "Nothing, they're just family." "Oh."

"Seaira do you remember when we took you?" "When you made me a vampire?" "No when we kidnapped you."

"Yes, why?" "I'm sorry we were so mean. We had to do it in order for you to play into this. I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry, I'm not ..."

"Your not mad but you should be." "Your sweet you know that."

"Thank you, now lets go downstairs they should be here any second."

"Ok." I locked arms with his and went down stairs and just as we got to the bottom the bell rang. "I got!" Gangrel yelled running down the hall. "Chill out she's just outside the door." Christian said from behind him. "Luna, my angel." Gangrel said locking her in his arms. "Gangrel I have missed you so much." She said buried her face in his shoulder. "So have I." He said lifting her up and bring her into another room. "Edge, Christian!" Two men said dropping their bags at the door and extending their arms to shake hands. "Matt and Jef how are you bro?" Edge said letting go of me and shaking their hands. Christian mimicked the action. "We have been great you?" The multicolored haired one asked. "Same here. I would like you to meet my Seaira." Edge answered. "Seaira I'm Matt and this is my brother Jeff." He said shaking my hand. Jeff took my hand into his and kissed it and said "Pleasure to meet you."

"It is a pleasure to meet the both of you." "Lita are you ok out there?" "Yes, Matt I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry about it, meet Seaira." "Hello Lita."

"Hi Seaira."

"Lita, I'm Edge."

"Hello." She said. "And Lita I'm Christian."

"Hi."

"I'll go get the rest of the bags." Jeff said. "I'll show you up to your room Matt." Christian said helping him with his bag upstairs." "Lita we'll show you to your room. Let me help yo with you stuff."

"Sure."

"You'll be in the room right next to Seaira, she'll help you get settled in."

"Ok." She said. "Here we are, you too ladies behave. Lita you may want to get changed into something a bit more formal."

"Ok." She said. He smiled and walked out. "How long ago were you made?" She asked me. "A few nights ago. You?"

"Same here."

"Are you from London?"

"No, I was on a tour and one of the stops were London. I'm originally from LA. You?" "Brooklyn, NY." "Where in Brooklyn, I have family there." "Old Mill Basin."

"Really, my Grandmother lives in Marine park."

"Cool." I said. "Are you scared?" "A little. You?" "A lot."

"Well, it could be worst." "How?" "We could be all alone in this."

“True." "Why am I supposed to get dressed up for?"

"So kind of ritual." "What are we going to do?"

"We'll each cut our wrists and let the blood go into a chalice. The cup will be past form Gangrel to Luna to Edge to Christian, to Matt to Jeff to me and to you. We will each take a sip and become closer."

"Fun."

"Yeah." "Do you think this dress will be good." She said holding up a firey red strapless dress.

"I love it." "Thanks. I'll go change." I went to the miorr on the dresser and checked my make-up. "How do I look?"

"Great."

"Thanks." "Do you know why we're here?" "I just know that I'm part of this thing called the brood, so they had to make me a vampire. I have no idea why Matt anf Jeff made you."

"That makes two of us." "What is the brood?"

"I really don't know. All I do know is that they're three vampires, one representing the power of the body, one symbolizing the mind, one to personify spirit and lastly to embody arcane."

"So whose who?"

"Gangrel is the body, Edge is the mind, Christian is the spirit and I'm the arcane."

"Who is your Sire?" "Edge, but they all made me. You?"

"Jeff and Matt made me, but the can't decide who will be my sire." "How did you meet?" "I was at a bar and they came over. They both got me drunk and I passed out. I woke up a vampire." "That sucks." "Yeah, how about you?" I told her about the times in the stores, the dreams and so forth. "Freaky."

"Ladies are you ready?" Matt said sticking his head in." "Yeah."

"Great lets go." He said locking both his arms with one of ours. "You both look great."

"Thank you." We both said. "Matt I believe you have something of mine." Edge called from behind us. "Oh really and what would that be?" He said playfully. "That be me." I said letting go of Matt and going to Edge. "Yes, that would be her." "You to look perfect together." Matt said. "Thank you." Edge answered. "Lets get downstairs before they bit our heads off." Matt said. We entered the room that Gangrel and Luna disappeared into earlier. It was a ballroom with a strange cross in the center. "Welcome, let the party begin." Gangrel said, the music played. "Garbage 'You Look So Fine'." I said. "Would you like to dance?" "Yes, Edge." He took my hand and we danced. Everything else in the room disappeared, all the matter was my body moving with his. Once the song ended Gangrel came up to us, "Seaira I would like you to meet my wife Luna." "It's a pleasure to meet you." "The pleasure is all mine Seaira. Well, don't you and Edge look sweet."

"Thank you."

"Your very welcome. Gangrel shouldn't we do the ritual?"

"Yes."

"Shall I make the call them?" "Yes, Luna." "Attention please, everyone! I want everyone to gather a round the symbol on the floor!" Then she whispered to Gangrel "Get the knife and the chalice please." "Alright." he said. "You should go into a circle in age order. Gangrel, me, Edge, Christian, Matt, Jeff, Seaira and Lita."

"Yes, Luna." Edge said leading me to the circle. Luna and Gangrel came into the circle. "First we will pass around the knife, you cut your wrist and pass it on. For our new comes, it will heal after a moment or so. When the knife has reached Edge I will pass the chalice around. You will drain some of your blood into the chalice. When the chalice reaches me again I will drink some and then pass it around the circle. Are there any questions?" Gangrel said. "What if I can't cut myself?" I asked. "Then Edge will cut your wrist for you. Any thing else?" Gangrel said. "No, then lets begin." Luna said after a moment of silence. Gangrel took the knife and cut his left wrist then passed. This continued down the line. When it got to me Edge step forward, kissed my wrist and cut it. We each put the blood in the cup and then it that got passed around. "We are now closer. For our new members we do this every month. Seaira you need to work on being able to inflict pain on yourself."

"Yes, Gangrel." "Now lets continue where we left off." Luna said while walking back over to the stereo. "Thank you Edge." I said hugging him. "Your very welcome love." He said bear hugging me. "Why don't we go for a walk?"

"Ok." I said. He lead me to a back door and said "Do you want to go through the woods or garden?"

"Garden."

"Then lets go." He hit light switch as we headed out side and flood lights lit up. He lead us into an arbor. "My parents have one of these." I stopped and said. "Do they have the climbing roses on it too?" He asked as I gently touched the roses. "Yes."

"What color?" he asked. "Pink."

"These are pink, red and yellow." He said. "The must look beautiful during the day."

"Yes, they do.” "Tomorrow can I see them?" I asked. "Yes."

"Thank you." I said kissing his cheek. "I have a feeling that I'm not going to be able to say no to you." He said smiling at me. "I have a feeling that if you keep looking at me with that big smile I'm going to melt." He laughed and pulled me into his arms "Listen."

"Petals!"

"I knew that if you like Garbage you must like Hole."

She’s the angel
On top of the tree
Sugar heart here she comes
She’s going to fall on me

He took my hand in his.

Innocence was a fire
We told the truth
I miss the sweet boys in
The summer of the youth

He pulled me to his chest.

Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you

He placed his chin on top of my head and he began to sway with the music.

They will make you so, so cynical
The fire burns the flesh
Destroy the best and made us old

I closed my eyes and gave up to the fire in his embrace.

She’s the grace of this world
She's too pure
For the likes of this world
This world is a whore

The whole world disappeared except for us.

Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you

I mindlessly clung to him.

I waste some mind
And hell needs some mind
And hell breathes some mind
I never knew what I could be
All the darling buds of May
They fall with no sound
They carry you down
They carry you down, ooh

The song seemed never ending.

All the lilies bloomed and blossomed
Wilted and they’re shivering
I can’t stop their withering
Oh, this world is a war

His sweet lips found mine and locked in a sweet embrace.

Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you...

He broke the kiss and said "I'm falling in love with you."

"I already think I've past that." He smiled and kissed me again. "Hey Edge Gangrel is looking for you." Jeff said coming towards the arbor. "Ok, thanks Jeff. Seaira I'll be right back."

"Hurry back." I said. "I will." He said leaning in and kissing me. "Don't move, I'll be right back." "You better." I said. He ran back into the house and I began looking at the roses again. "There a lot more beautiful during the day." Jeff whispered in my ear. Somehow I didn't here him come up behind me. I turned around and his lips were an inch from mine. "Edge told me." I said slipping to the right. "So how did you to meet?" Jeff asked moving a bit closer. "I was walking home one night and there he was with Christian and Gangrel." "He took you then?" "No, not until later that week when I was walking to get dinner for me and my friend Erica."

"Oh." "What did Gangrel want Edge for?" I asked. "I don't know. What do you think of all this?"

"Of being a vampire?"

"Yes, and the Brood?"

"I think it's cool, but in the same respect I don't want to give up my old life. However I don't have a choice."

"Are you bitter?"

"No."

"You don't hate the Brood for making you give all that up?" He said pinning me against the arbor. "No." Then the back door opened and Jeff backed off. "Hey what did he want Edge?"

"Nothing just asking if Seaira would talk to Lita."

"Why what is wrong?" Jeff asked. "She is crying in the bathroom."

"Oh God." He said running into the house. "What is wrong?" Edge asked coming over to me. "Jeff."

"What did he do?" "He cornered me and kept asking me if I wanted to be a vampire and If I was bitter about it."

"He is just upset because Lita is not taking it as well as you." "Is that why she's in the bathroom?"

"Yes." "I'll go talk to her." "Good." "Come with me."

"Of course." We went to the bathroom that she locked herself in. "Lita sweetheart open the door." I said. "No! Their out there." "Your damn right we're out here now open the fucken door so we can talk!" Matt said. "You’re embarrassing us!" Jeff yelled. "Just leave me alone!" She yelled. "Lita honey come on out so that me and Seaira can talk to you. All the boys will go in another room." Luna said. "If you don't open the fucken door I'll break it down and pull you out by your hair!" Matt yelled. "Matthew shut the hell up or I'll lock you in the basement!" Gangrel yelled. "Lita please." I said. "Okay." I heard the click of the lock signaling the door was unlocked. I opened the door "Lita honey." I said opening the door and she was crying over the sink. "Lita it's ok."

"No, it's not." She said brokenly. "Yes, it is nothing is going to happen to you Matt and Jeff won't do anything because If they do we'll take them down to the basement and beat them senselessly." Luna said to Lita but looking at Jeff and Matt. "Guys let leave the ladies alone." Gangrel said. "Thank you." Luna said. "Lets go into Lita's room. Ok?"

"Yeah." She said. We walked upstairs to Lita's room. As soon as we were in she ran to the bed and cried into the pillow. Me and Luna sat down on the bed next to her. "Lita sweetheart stop it." Luna said petting her hair. Lita sat up "No, I hate it here. Why did they do this to me? I have no place here, no reason to be here. Her," she said pointing to me, "she at least has a reason to be here. Her makers care about her. Mine just worry about me embarrassing them."

"Lita don't say, that my boys care about you." Luna said. "No, they don't!" She yelled "Lita please stop it." "No! I want to go home!" "This is home now. I know it's hard but atleast you have us. When Gangrel made me I felt the same way. I thought he didn't care, I didn't have a reason to be here and I ran away. Once your made a vampire every rival vampire to your Sire will hunt you down and try to make your there plaything. When I ran I realized what Gangrel told me was true it was to late and a vampires tried to kidnap me. I thought he told me that to keep me there. If Gangrel did not come for me I would be a toy somewhere."

"What does that have to do with me?" Lita said. "I'm telling you not to try anything like running away. I can tell your thinking about it. It's not a way to make them show you they care or away out. This is getting you no where." Luna said. "Lita please stop it there is no way out of here. Just calm down." I said. "I can't Seaira. How can I? They hate me, they all hate me." Lita said. "No one hates you." Luna said to her. "Luna you have never been alone with Matt, Jeff and I." She said. "What do they do to make you think they hate you."

"There always slapping me, telling me I'm a bad vampire, how they were stupid for making me and how they can't stand to look at me." "Lita, you poor child you should have told me." Luna said hugging her. "Seaira go get Gangrel and Gangrel alone."

"Sure Luna." I said getting off the bed. I went running downstairs and went into the ballroom. "Gangrel!"

"Yes, Seaira what is wrong?" Gangrel said. "Luna wishes to speak with you." "Ok, tell her I'll be right there."

"Sure." I said turning to go up. "Seaira!" Edge yelled. "Yes?"

"Is she ok?" Edge asked. "I'm not sure." I said. "Why does Luna want Gangrel?" He asked. "I can't say, I'll tell you later." I said. "Ok." He said and I jetted upstairs to Lita's room. "Luna he said he'll be right up." "Ok, I want you to take her out into the garden, just the two of you. Take the side door, it's in the blue room in front of the stairs."

"Yes, Luna. Come on Lita." I said. "Ok." Lita said. "Are you ok Lita?"

"I guess. What will Gangrel and Luna do?"

"I don't know." I said. We were out in the garden for about a half and hour when Edge got us. "Ladies Gangrel want to see everyone."

"Ok." I said. "Lita are you ok?"

"I feel a little better." She said. "Good."

"Edge is Gangrel angry?" Lita asked. "Not at you." We went into the ballroom, Lita hide behind Edge and I. "Luna has told me about some terrible behavior on the parts of Matt and Jeff. Is it true that you hit Lita?" Gangrel asked. "Yes." They both answered. "For what reasons?"

"She would not feed, she would not stop crying, she would not stop whining about how she wanted to go home. After a day of listing to it we hit her." Matt said. "Did you ask her why she would not stop crying?"

"She said she hated us and she wanted to go home." Jeff said. "She would cry when told to feed, she would cry if you told her to move." Matt said. "How many times a day did you hit her?"

"No idea." Matt said. "Lita how many times?" Gangrel asked. "A lot."

"Did you try to stop crying?" he asked her. "Yes, but then I would do something wrong and they would hit me."

"What would she do wrong to get hit?"

"Things like talk back, and so on."

"Did you say you could not stand to look at her or call her a bad vampire?" he asked. "Yes, I could not stand her crying." Matt said. "Ok well I don't know what to do about you three. Luna what do you think?" Gangrel asked. "I would like to be named her Sire until the boys grow up." "Edge and Christian what do you think?"

"I don't know." They both said. "Luna I name you her Sire for now, boys I don't want to hear it for you right now."

"Gangrel this is not fair we made her." Jeff said. "It's only for a little while." he said. "I don't care we made her!" Matt yelled. "If you yell at me like that again I'll wipe the floor with your ass, is that clear!" Gangrel yelled back. "Yes Sire, come on Matt." Jeff said trying to pull him upstairs. "Matt?" Gangrel said. "Yes." Matt said. "Good now stay out of my face."

"Gangrel calm down." Luna said kissing his cheek. "Lets put the music back on." Gangrel said. "What CD?" Christian asked. "The Concrete Blondes, put on our song."

"The Beast." Luna said Kissing him. "Thats their song?" I whispered in Edge's ear. He smiled and knobbed. "That figures."

"May I have this dance?" He asked. "Yes." I said as he pulled me to him. He placed his hands on my ribs and I put mine on his shoulders.

The prey of the beast screamed bloody murder
The line is so fine between hoping and hurting
Former believers they beg for release
As love looking down on them smiles and picks his teeth
Trapped in between heaven and hell he knows all the secrets and don't want to tell
There's nowhere to run and there's nowhere to hide
Love knows you all too well

He will find you

We began swaying wildly to the music.

Love is the ghost haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought was your friend
Love is the creature who lives in the dark
Sneaks up, will stick you and painfully pick you apart

The look in his eyes can only be describe as hungry as our hips grinned together.

Love is a poet, love sings the songs
Pointing his finger you follow along
Voice are calling, the monster wants out of you paws you and claws you, you try not to fall

"Shouldn't they have a slow song?" I asked. "Why? This is more fun." He said with an evil grin. He pushed the hair off my shoulders, exposing my neck. His lips then swooped down and sucked on my pulse point.

Love is the leech, sucking you up Love is a vampire, drunk on your blood Love is the beast that will tear out your heart Hungrily lick it and painfully pick it apart

I could not hold in the low moan that escaped my lips.

Love is the leech, sucking you up
Love is a vampire, drunk on your blood
Love is the beast that will tear out your heart
Hungrily lick it and painfully pick it apart

"Don't you think this is more fun?" He said with an evil grin that made my shiver with longing. Before I could answer his lips descended on mine.

Love is a ghost, haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought was your friend
Love is the teacher who lives in the dark
Sneak up and stick you and painfully pick you apart

My mind was swimming in delight. My knees were weak and all I could do was clung to him in hope I wouldn't fall. "Where is Lita?" Luna said breaking the mood. We broke the kiss and Edge said "I don't know, she was here when the song started."

"She isn't here now." Gangrel said. "I'll go up stair and check with Jeff and Matt." Christian said. "We'll go check the garden." Edge said. "I'll check her room." Luna said. "I'll check this floor." Gangrel said. Edge and I ran outside "Lita!" I yelled "Where do you think she went?" Edge asked. As we went into the arbor. "I don't know, but Luna was afraid she would run away." As we went through a section of the garden. "She would have to clime over the 15 foot locked gate. Not to mention the 2 mile walk just to get to the gate."

"If she was that determined then maybe." I said as we walked down another row of flowers. "Lita!" Edge yelled. "Lita honey are you out here." I yelled. "Wait listen." Edge said turning to a pitch black corner of the garden. "Lita!" Edge said running to the corner. Lita are you alright?" He said picking her up. "No, I need to get out of here. They're going to kill me." She said crying on my shoulder. "No one is going to hurt you, I won't let them." "No, Matt and Jeff." "They won't touch you. If they try and hurt you I'll kill them, I promise."

"Lets go inside and tell them we found her." I said. "Good idea." He said. We walked back into the house and I yelled "We've got her." Everyone came running into the room for all corners of the house. "Is she ok?" Luna asked running to us. "She is fine, just scared." Edge answered. "Scared of what?" Gangrel asked. "Matt and Jeff." I said. "Lita sweetheart no one is going to hurt."

"Yes, they will, the second they are alone with me they'll hit me. Or when I'm alone they'll know it and make me see things. Or when I'm sleeping they haunt my dreams." Lita said shaking. "She is hysterical." Christian said. "Yes, she is, Edge take her to the altar, Christian get some ropes, Luna get some of that tranquilizer and Seaira take these keys go to the stairs and pull the doors shut and lock them." Gangrel said. I went to the stairs and began pulling the huge oak doors shut. In the middle of pulling them shut I felt someone touch my hand. I turned around to see Edge. "I thought you were helping Gangrel?"

"I was and then I brought the point up that you can't keep both Matt and Jeff up there if they saw you shutting these doors. After all the are much stronger then you and would not like the fact that they were being locked upstairs."

"You have come to my rescue again."

"Yes I have, so can I get a reward?" "How about a cookie?" I said knowing he wanted me to kiss him. "I believe I should get more then a cookie." He said moving closer. "Ok two cookies." "Nope still not enough." He said wrapping his arms around my waist. "Oh alright." I said standing on my tip toes and put my lips centimeters from his and just when he thought I was going to give him what he wanted I said "Three cookies and that’s my final offer." He opened his eyes in shock that I had not kissed him. I just gave him a sly grin. "Tease!" he said. "I never said what the cookies were made of." I said. "And what are they made of?" "You'll see." I said pulling him into a kiss. He wrapped his arms around me tighter and dipped me back slightly. After what seem like forever Christian tapped Edge on the shoulder and said "The lock." Edge pulled reluctantly away and said "Shit! Seaira keys."

"Here."

Christian took then and locked the door. "Come on Gangrel wants all of us in there."

"Ok. We'll finish this later." He said taking my hand and pulling me into the room. Instantaneously the memoirs of what happened to me in that room flooded my mind. I felt sick to my stomach and had to cling to Edge for support. "Seaira are you ok?" H e said pulling my chin up to meet my eyes. "I don't know." I said. "Edge I should have know better then to tell her to come in here just yet. Take her in the kitchen and give her some ice water." Gangrel said. "Yes, Gangrel. Come now love." I followed Edge out of the room and into the huge kitchen. "Sit." he commanded softly. He poured me a glass of ice water and handed it to me. I drank it all and he took it from me a placed it in the dish washer. "Fell better?" "Yes, thank you." I said. "How about some ice cream?"

"What kind?"

"Rocky Road."

"Yes, that is my favorite kind of ice cream."

"Me too." He said pulling it out of the freezer. "How about some chocolate syrup and cool whip?"

"Ok." He began making the ice creams. "Need help?"

"No, you sit."

"Ok. What are they doing to her?" "Putting her to sleep, she'll be fine." "Would Matt and Jeff really hurt her?" I asked. "I don't know, she really seems to think so."

"Poor Lita."

"She'll be fine once she wakes up tomorrow." He said putting the ice cream down. "I hope so."

"Why old are you?"

"242."

"Gangrel?"

"330."

"Christian?"

"241."

"Luna?"

"301."

"Matt?"

"118."

"Jeff?"

"115."

"I feel like a little child."

"You are a child, your mine, Gangrel's and Christian's. You're mostly mine. As your Sire I'm your father, your teacher, your best friend and your lover." "And what if I don't want to be your lover?" I said playfully. "Then I'll just tie you to the bedpost." He said with an evil grin. "I love you."

"I love you too, now finish your ice cream before it turns to soup."

"Yes, daddy." "Young lady are you getting smart with me?"

"No daddy."

"I think you are, and therefore you're going to have to be punished."

"Oh please daddy." He pulled my chair over to him and grabbed the back of my neck, pulling my face to his. "You've been a very bad girl." With that he kissed me till I felt light headed, then he pulled away. "Now come closer." He said patting his lap. I stood on shaky legs and sat down on his lap. "You still owe me two kisses."

"What about that one?" "I kissed you first, so it doesn't count." "Oh."

"Edge what do I call you?" "Edge is good."

"Why does almost everyone call Gangrel Sire? Did he make all of them? " "Yes and no. He either made them or okayed the making of them. Gangrel is the leader here, so anyone made must be made with his permission." "So why don't I call you Sire?" "Because, I don't really want you to, but you do have to do it when were in front of guests."

"Ok." "Eat your ice cream." "Why are you so hell bent on me eating it?" "Because I made it for you."

"Ok, I'll eat it." "Thank you." I sat on his lap and finished all of it. "Edge?" Luna said walking into the kitchen. "Luna wuz up?" He said. "Nothing, just making sure you 2 were in the house."

"Why?" "Because, we want her to try something." His arms tighten around my waist "What?"

"A séance." "Can you do that?" "I use to be able to when I was a teenager."

"Lets go we're ready for you in the other room." We went into the library and sat at round table with a white tablecloth. There were candles everywhere around the room. "Seaira, tell us what we need to know about this." Gangrel said. "We need put atleast 3 candles, make sure they are white and blow them out. Do we have any incense?" I said. "Yes, what kind do you want?" Christian asked. "Cinnamon, frankincense, and sandalwood." I said. "I'll get them." Christian said. "We all need to relax so do we want to listen to some soothing music." "No, put us into a trance." Gangrel said. "Gangrel."

"Edge."

"Ok I'll try to put everyone in a trance just to relax you. Do we have a tape record?" "Don't worry we're being taped."

"We have to decide who we want to call over."

"Then we should pick Lisa." Luna said. "Who's that." I asked. "A friend of mine, who just passed." Just then Christian came in and light the incense. "Sorry."

"It's ok."

"Ok I going to put you in the light trance. I want you to close your eyes. Think of rain hitting your window. Tap, tap, tap, tap. Think of the waves crashing against the shore. Slap, slap, slap, slap. Think of yourself as a fluffy white cloud. Let you body fall, relax. Open your eyes and relax. I want you to charge the candles. Picture strands of peaceful smoke curling up from it and then pass it."

Once that was done I joined hands with the people on either side of me and closing your eyes. Then I said a short invocation or divine blessing before going further, just in case. Then I lead everyone in a deep breathing exercise by instructing them to breathe in slowly through the nose and out slowly through the mouth, while trying to keep their minds blank. My goal is to get everyone calm, comfortable, and in touch with their senses.

After a few minutes of this, I asked everyone to say these words together: "Our beloved Lisa, we ask that you commune with us and move among us." We repeated the chant until there was a response. A response can take the form of a sudden decrease in room temperature, a slight ache in the area that caused the spirit's death or a rapping sound. There was no response, I added to the chant: "If you are with us, Lisa, please rap once." After we got Lisa we had to make sure that it was her. "Luna ask her a yes or no question."

"Were you a vampire?"

"One rap for yes and two raps for no." We got one rap. "Was she?" I asked. "Yes." Luna said. "Did Gangrel and you ever go out?" Luna asked. One rap. "Did they?"

"Yes."

"Then I guess it's her. You can ask yes or no questions. Don't tease or bug the spirit." I said. After ten minutes of this Gangrel asked "Why don't you invite it in your body Seaira?" "Gangrel, please don't make her do that." Edge said. "Alright." Gangrel said. After we were done with all the questioning, I ended the séance by thanking the spirit for its time and telling it to go in peace. Then I broke the circle, extinguish the candles, and turn on the lights. "She really is arcane, I'm now completely sure." Gangrel said. "No offense Gangerl but how can her doing a séance be enough proof." Luna stated. "That’s enough proof for now, we can't push her to hard just yet." "Lisa your friend, the spirit who came here, said she was. Gangrel said. "Is Mangas coming?" Christian asked. "Yes, he is. He will teach her the all she needs to know about being the arcane." Gangrel said. "But Gangrel I thought I was to be her Sire." Edge said a little shocked. "You are, but you can't teach her what she'll need to know to be what she has to be. You will get to teach the ways of the vampire, as I did you, but Mangas will teach her how to gain; and use the powers she has."

"But would that put twice the amount of pressure as a normal vampire?" Luna asked. "Yes, it would but we four are not normal vampires. We are The Brood." Gangrel stated. "But why doesn't Edge teach her the ways of being a vampire and then Mangas will teacher about her powers." "It would take to long." Gangrel said. "We live forever Gangrel, time for us is limit less. You can't put so much pressure on her, it is not fair." Luna said. "We are destine for a much higher purpose." Gangrel stated. "I understand that, but she doesn't. She is a child all over again and you can't expect her to understand." "That is why she needs to learn and that she will, with the help of Mangas and her Sire." "But Gangrel..."

"That is enough talk about it tonight, lets get some sleep."

"Fine, Christian will you carry Lita to her room?"

"Yes."

"Come on Seaira, lets get some sleep."

"Ok." We went upstairs. "Edge stay with me tonight, atleast till I fall asleep." I asked. "I can never say no to you." He said. We both went into my room. "Why don't you take a shower in here and I'll take one in my room."

"Ok." I said. I took a quick shower and by the time I was out he was already dressed. "Your quick."

"Compared to you."

"Your hair is still wet." I said as I walked to the vanity. "So is yours." He said. "Well, you have to dry it." I said picking up the blow drier intending to dry my own hair. "I let mine air dry, but yours we'll dry." He said getting up to dry my hair. "I can work a blow drier myself." I said as he tried to grab it. "I'm sure you can but I want to do it." He said reaching for it again. "Fine." I said handing him the drier. He dried my hair for me and then picked me up and placed me in bed. "Get some sleep you, you have a long day a head of you tomorrow."

"Ok." I said closing my eyes. He got into bed next to me and immediately pulled me to him. In a few minutes I fell asleep safe and warm. At about 11AM I felt someone's lips on mine, I opened my eyes to see Edge looking down at me with an evil glint in his eyes. "Good morning sunshine." He said pulling away. "Um." I said turning over. "Oh no you don't! Come on it's time for you to get up. You begin training today." "Please let me sleep a little longer." I said pulling the cover over my head. "I can't now come on, get up."

"Please." I said begging. "Seaira, don't make me pick you up and put you in the shower with the cold water running." "I hate you." I said sitting up. "I'm hurt. I was going to bring you up banana pancakes but now." "I'm sorry, you know I love you." I said wrapping my arms around his neck. "Ok, go get dressed I'll be up in like 15 minutes with our breakfasts."

"Yes, Sir." I said stubbing towards the bathroom. "Hey!" he said. "I was just kidding." I quickly washed up and got dressed. When I got out there an already dressed Edge was setting up the table in the room with our steaming hot plates of food. "Smell good." I said walking over to him. "I bet you smell better." he said standing with arms out strech. "Oh well then I guess I should let you get a good whiff of me to be sure." I walked into his arms and was enveloped into a bear hug. "You smell a lot better." He said letting go. He pulled out my chair like a true gentleman and then pushed it in for me after I sat down. "Who made them?" I asked referring to the pancakes. "Luna." He said pouring on the syrup. "Edge I meant to ask you last night who is Mangas?" "He is a vampire with the ability to open up your third eye more. He will help you learn how to use your dark gifts." "He must be old."

"Yes, Mangas is, he is 887 years old." He said. "Wow." I said a bit shocked. "Yeah, he is one of the oldest of our kind. You see most of our kind goes mad when they get to be that old, and by vampire laws if a vampire goes mad they are to be killed."

"That’s kinda mean." I said. "Well, that is the rules. Most vampire go insane after they make their first kill or when they become over the age of 700."

"Young vampires go in sane because they killed right?"

"Yes, the thought of killing for most humans who have just been brought over is terrible to face at first. Most vampires are no different then the human they were, at first. After a while it get easier, and you think of humans as food not equals." "How long is a while?" I asked. "About 100 years." He said. "Great." I said. "Don't worry you won't go mad, your the arcane. I'm more worried about Lita going mad." He said. "You really think so?" "Yeah, she can't handle being a vampire, how can she handle killing a human?" "Good point." I said. "How do they go mad?" "Their victims haunt their dreams in most cases. Or they refuse to feed off of humans and go mad with need." "Poor Lita." I said. "Hopefully Luna will be able to calm her down."

"If she can't and she goes mad they'll kill her. There must be some other way?" "No, sweet Seaira there isn't." "Oh." I said looking down at the pancakes. "Don't be sad, nothing has happened yet. Come on eat your pancakes before they get cold." "Ok." "Tonight we go hunting, you will make your first kill." "How do you do that?" I asked. "I'll pick out your victims until you can pick your own, then you wait till they are alone. The best place to get a meal is at a club. You wait for the unsuspecting person to leave, then you follow. You lurk in the shadows waiting for them to be alone then you attack." "How should I attack?"

"The proper way to attack you will learn over time, till then I will do that for you as well. When you have the victim right where you want then you bite down right where the pulse is."

"The carotid pulse in the neck right?"

"Yes, Seaira. Do you know where that is?"

"Yes, it's right here." I said putting my index and middle finger on it. "Good, you need to learn just be hearing and looking where it is on a human. Do you think you can do that?"

"Yes." "Wonderful."

"Then what do we do with the body when we're done?"

"In the older times vampire use to kill off there victims, so when they feed it's called a kill. Now for the most part we no longer kill our victims, but we still call it a kill. We just take what we need and block out what happened to them form their memory. If you kill a human you take it here and burn it's remains." "Oh." "Memoir blocking I'll teach you tonight it is really easy."

"What about the wound?" "Our saliva can seals it."

"Wait but if a vampire does not kill it's victim then how come it get haunted be it in their dreams?"

"It's just guilt of hurting a human." "How many victims does a vampire need a night?"

"The older the vampire the less they have to feed. You will need atleast 4 or 5. Christian and I need 3 or 4, Matt and Jeff need 4, Luna needs 2 and Gangrel needs 1. Mangas he only feeds once a year on 4 victims."

"Wow."

"Yeah, he has it easy." "What time is he getting here?"

"One."

"Is he going to go right into teaching me?"

"I don't know. Now lets finish our breakfast so I can take you to the garden for a while before he comes. Hearing that he was going to take me out to the garden I quickly finished my pancakes. "Lets go." He said taking the dishes. We drop the plates and stuff in the kitchen and went out into the garden. The roses were all, open around the arbor. "It looks beautiful." I said. "Not as beautiful as you."

"Stop it."

"Stop what? Not a flower or person are anything else could compare to your beauty."

"Edge."

"Seaira."

"Come on." I said taking his hand. After we went through the arbor there were more roses. Roses of every kind, from Angel face to tea cup. The roses were in almost every color as well. "This is so beautiful." "I do love this place."

"What other kinds of flowers do you have?"

"Lilies, gardenias, tulips, violets, morning glories, honey suckles, orchids, heliconias, zingiberaceae, sun flowers and a whole lot more. There's even a fruit and vegetable garden."

"Let, me guess just about every fruit and vegetable in the world is located there?" "Yep."

"Well, then lets get going I want to see all of it." We went all over the garden and got back to the house at 11:30. "Well, you 2 were in there long." Matt said. "Yes, we were Mangas will be here in an hour and a half." Edge said. "Why is he coming?" Matt asked. "To teach the arcane." Jeff said laughing a bit. "Jeff shut up or I'll rip you head from you shoulders. Come on Seaira let go upstairs" Edge said. "Oh I'm scared Edge is going to beat me up! Matt protect me." "No. little Jeff I'm scared of him too." "What ever shall we do?" Jeff said. "I know lets get Super Arcane to save us!" Matt said. "Yes, she'll turn Edge back into a frog!"

"Yeah! Super Arcane will you please help us?" Matt said getting down on his knees in front of me. I don't know what came over me, but I grab them by their hair and slammed their heads together. "Seaira!" Edge said grabbing my hands. "Good girl, but down." "Ok." I said pouting. "Leave her alone assholes!" We turned around and went upstairs with out waiting for a answer. "I can't believe I did that."

"Neither did I, but you did."

"I don't know what came over me." v "It was a vampire instinct."

"But still."

"Don't worry rainbow bright and his brother will be fine."

"I know." The door opened and Gangrel walked in. "Did she really bang their heads together?" he said. "Yep." Edge said. Gangrel began hysterical laughing as he came towards me. "That is to funny. Little girl you are something else." he said hugging me. "I know, I could not believe she did it and neither could she." Edge said. He let go of me "Oh I came up here to also tell you we're having lunch when Mangas gets here so don't eat." Gangrel said. "Ok." Edge said. "Gangrel how is Lita?" I asked. "She is better. You, Christian, Edge and her will go out feeding together tonight." "Cool." Edge said. "So I want you two to get dressed, not to dressed but dressed." Gangrel said. "No suit." Edge said. "No suit." He agreed. "Will do, he'll be here at 1 right?" Edge asked. "Yes, so hurry."

"Ok." I said. I went to my closet and began looking through the clothes. Edge came up behind me and said "The black slip dress with the beads." "If you get to pick out my clothes I get to pick out your's." "Deal and with those black sandals." He said pointing to a pair with matching beads. "Your going to need a strapless bra because those beaded straps are smaller then a bra strap." "I'll find one in a minute, lets get your clothes." I said opening the adjoining doors. "Yes, madam."

"If I can't call you sir you can't call me that."

"Yes, madam."

"Edge!"

"Ok. I'll stop."

"Thank you." I said pulling him into his room and to the closet. I pulled out a pair of black Polo dress pant and a black silk shirt. "Put these on."

"No shoes?" "Those." I said pointing to leather dress shoes. "Now lets both get dressed."

"Ok." I said going back in my room. I found a black strapless bra and slipped the dress on. It was a perfect fit. The neck line was v-shaped and had beads hanging down from it, the straps were two strings of beads. "Are you dressed? Edge said poking his head through the door. "Yes." v"Good "How should I wear my hair?"

"Down." He answered kissing me. "Thank you." I said. "Your very welcome now where is your make-up?" "In the vanity." He sat me down at the vanity and watched me put on my make-up. Just as I was finishing Christian came to the door. "He's here!" "We'll be right there." I yelled finishing up my lipstick.

We walked down the stairs and I was greeted by Mangas' back. He had long black hair that went down to his waist. He was dressed all in black. At the sound of us coming down the stairs he turned around. "Is this the Arcane?" He asked. "Yes, that is." "Then it's a pleasure to meet you." He said taking my hand and kissing my knuckles. His fingers were cold to the touch and his skin was so pale that it seem translucent. He looked p at me from behind sunglasses covered eyes "It's a pleasure to meet you too." I said. "I thought we'd all go out to lunch." Gangrel said. "No, let stay in, Seaira and I have much to talk about."

"Ok, why don't you go into the library."

"Ok where is it?" Mangas said. "It's the first door on the right."

"Ok, come on Seaira. Has Gangrel told you anything about this?" He asked well leading me down the hall. "Not really, just that your here to 'awaken my powers'." I said as we entered the room. "That's true but he did not tell you how?"

"Yes." I said as we sat down at the table. "What we're going to do is your going to go out hunting and you will be back by 11:30. At that time you will be dressed in a white robe, well we set up the altar room. Youe will lay down on the altar, well I chant the spell."

"Spell?" v"Yes, the spell is in German."

"What does it say?"

"Ich fordere jetzt die Masse, das weite Plians und die erhabenen mountians, für Energie und Stärke zu ihr auf, da ich dieses peice von Masse beim Zusammenrufen hinzufüge. Ich fordere jetzt das Wasser, Borad Seen, überhaupt-ever-moving Ströme und grenzenlose Ozeane, für Energien und Stärke zu ihr auf, da ich Wasser beim Zusammenrufen hinzufüge. Von ich fordere jetzt die Luft auf, weit erreicht endlosen Platz und das weite Rad der Ewigkeit, für Energien und Stärke zu ihr. Wie ich die Luft das miture beim Zusammenrufen schlagen ließ. Ich fordere jetzt die tiefen Feuer, diesen Brand in im Kern der Masse, bei einer mit den emergies des Lebens selbst, für Energie und Stärke zu ihr auf, da ich diese flaming Schiene beim Zusammenrufen hinzufüge. Erreichen weit in das archiac hinter zeichne mir weiter diese sympols für den, den mein Bann geworfen wird. Hier seien Sie gesponnene Wahrscheinlichkeit, Vermögen und Schicksal, das ihre Energie swifly erreicht werden kann." "In English now please?" I said. He laughed and said:

"I call now upon the Earth, Far Plains and lofty mountains, For power and strength to her, As I add this piece of earth in summoning. I call now upon the waters, Broad Lakes, ever-moving streams And boundless oceans, For powers and strength to her, As I add water in summoning. I call now upon the air, The far reaches of infinite space, And the far Wheel of Eternity, For powers and strength to her. As I let the air hit the mixture in summoning. I call now upon the deep fires, That burn in the in the core of the earth, At one with the emerges of Life itself, For power and strength to her, As I add this flaming splint in summoning. Reaching far into the archaic past I draw forth these symbols For that which my spell shall be cast. Here shall be woven Chance, Fortune, and Fate That her power may be swiftly attained."

"I'll I do is lay there well you say that?" "Yes, and well you lay there I will add each of the things from the first four verses into a chalice. Just as I began the fifth I will cut your finger and add a drop of you blood in. On the last line I will baptize you with the Brood symbol." "Then I have my powers?"

"Yes."

"Wow they made it sound longer." "Yes, they have a tendency to do that. After the spell is done you will be physically wiped out or the rest of the week. That means that you are to stay in bed. They will bring you blood.”

"That sucks."

"Yes, it does but you have to do it."

"Hey guys we got Chinese." Edge said sticking his head in. "Wonderful we just finished." Mangas said. "Really? Seaira are you ok with the spell? There is the longer way where you learn to use your powers that we can do, but the spell is shorter." "I think we can do the spell. I'm ok with it." I said. "Are you sure?" Edge said. "Yes." "Great lets go eat." He said. We ate lunch and afterwards Mangas once again called me into the library. "Gwen I forgot to tell you something."

"What?"

"After you get your strength back you must do a spell for the next four weeks on Friday."

"What spell and please don't tell me it's in German."

"No, it's in English, but if you like you can do it in another language." "No please English is fine." I said laughing. "Ok what is it?"

"You could perform this spell late in the evening, before you should take a lustral bath." "What is lustral?" "A bath of purification. It should be taken by candle light, the bath water should be sprinkled with fragrant herbs and sea salt. While in the bath, think that the water is washing away the impurities." "Ok." "The set up of the spells should have white candles and purple or blue candles. You should put gemstones of the same color around the candles.

You should dress in the white robe from the spell we do tonight." "Maybe I should write this down." "Nope, I have a present for you. Your first book of spells, this spell is on page 211."

"Ok."

"Everything I just told you is there, any questions?" Mangas asked. "Any specific time?" "Late at night." "Cool."

"Hey Mangas, Gangrel wants to know if you would like to go out to dinner tonight with Luna and him?" Christian asked. "Sure, why not." "I'll go relay the message." Christian stated and turned to leave. "No, I'll go tell him in a minute. Seaira I'll see you again tonight." He said leaving. "Well, Arcane I heard you, Jeff and Matt got into a fight." Christian said. "Yeah." "I heard you won." "I guess If you call me banging their heads together wining." I said. "I would since they did nothing to you, except tell Luna. Seaira do yourself a favor and stay away from them. There is something wrong with them. Edge and I never could get along with them. They're just weird." "We're all weird." I said. "But their a..." "A bad weird." I finished he's sentence. "Yeah." "Thanks Christian."

"For what?"

"Looking out for me." "Your my brothers girlfriend so it was a pleasure. Oh and not to mention their evil so it be wrong if I didn't." "Thanks." "Why are you thanking him?" Jeff said. "Yeah I thought that big teeth was your man." Matt said. "Get the hell out of here, no one was talking to you." Christian said. "Are you going to make us?" Matt said getting in Christian's face. "No I am! I told you to stay away from her!" Edge said running in the room. "Good now it's a fair fight lets go." Jeff said. "Stop it!" I yelled getting in between them. "How sweet the bitch is trying to protect her men." Matt said. "That’s it." Edge said grabbing Matt by the throat and lifting off the ground. "Edge put him down!" Luna said. "What the hell is going on here?" Gangrel asked. "Edge is trying to beat my brother." Jeff said as Edge put Matt down. "You started it!" Christian yelled back at Jeff. "Seaira what happened?" Gangrel asked. "Matt and Jeff walked in here looking to harass Christian and I, they exchanged words. Christian told them to leave Matt said are you going to make us. Edge walked in and he said he would make them. I got in between them, Matt called me a bitch and Edge grabbed him by the throat." "As if you two were not in enough trouble already? We have a guest here and this is how you behave!" Luna said. "Matt and Jeff you are not to leave your rooms tonight." Gangrel said. "What about him? He grabbed me by the throat!" Matt yelled pointing to Edge. "You called Seaira a bitch!" Luna yelled. "Edge, Seaira and Christian go upstairs and get ready for tonight. I want all 5 of you to keep out of each others way until you can act mature." "Yes, Gangrel come on Seaira." Edge said. We spent the rest of the afternoon in our rooms watching TV and getting ready to go out. Christian, Lita, Edge and I were going out to eat alone. "Are you ready yet beautiful?" Edge said walking into my room. "Yes, and don't call me that." "What beautiful?"

"Yes."

"Why?" He said pulling me into the circle of his arms. "Because I'm not." "Don't you dare say that! You are beautiful and if I hear you say other wise again I'll give you to Matt and Jeff. Sure they won't be able to handle you but it would be fun to watch." "I love you." "I love you more." "Hey lovers lets go!" Christian yelled from outside the door. "Coming." I yelled to him as lead Edge to the door. I opened the door. "Isn't this vision two beautiful ladies coming with us to dinner." Christian said. "I know we must have died and gone to heaven." Edge said offering me his arm. "Thank you." I said kissing him. "Thank you." Lita said. "Your more then welcome. Look Lita there go again." Edge gave him the middle finger. "I think we have to separate them." "Shut up Christian." I said. "That hurt." Christian said playfully. "Where to ladies." Edge said as we walked downstairs. "Some place were we could have a little fun we'll we eat." I said. "Yeah that we could get nachos at." Lita said. "She speaks! Fair lady Lita speak again." Christian said. All of us were now laughing. "How about Fridays?" Edge said in between laughs. "Sounds good to me." I said. "Then lets go." We got into a black car and we were off to Fridays. We had a fun dinner. Lita spoke more. Christian and Edge kept us laughing. After we were done we went to a club to feed. We were in the club for about 10 minutes when they picked out theirs and our victims. We followed our victims outside and Edge and Christian attacked both of them. As they were attacking Lita said to me "I'm not sure I want to do this." "I know but we have to. It's not like we're going to kill them." "We're not?" "No, we're just talking what we need and then making them think they got drunk and passed out." "Ladies their all yours." Edge said as he held my victim. Lita walked to Christian and I went to Edge. We bit down at almost the same time. "Stop girls." Christian said after a few minutes. We pulled out fangs out. "Now lick the wound closed." Edge said. We did that. "Good now look into there eyes and tell them another story of how their going to think it happened." Christian said. "You got drunk and passed out in the parking lot." I said. Lita gave a similar story to hers and we went back inside and do it a few more times and left for home. "Welcome back," Mangas said, "Seaira go up and get changed."

"Sure." I said going upstairs. "Seaira." Lita yelled after me. "Yes, Lita?"

"What's going on?" She asked as we reached our hallway. "Mangas is doing some spell to make my powers come to me faster." "What powers?" She asked as we reached my door. "Your guess is as good as mine."

"That’s great so how will you know how to use them?"

"No idea." I said laughing. "Remind me to ask him that." I said walking into the bathroom. "Sure." she said. "Wait am I aloud to wear cloths under this?" I yelled to her. "I don't know. You want me to go ask?" "Yes please, thank you Lita." "Your welcome, I'll be right back." I minute later Lita ran in the room and said "Mangas said you can't were anything modern." "So I guess thats a no."

"Yeah."

"I don't want to go down there like that." I whined. "I know, sorry."

"It's not you fault it's all Edge's fault." "How is it his fault?"

"Because he is standing at the door listening to us."

"Oh." Edge walked in "I was just checking on you sweetie."

"Sure you were." I said coming out of the bathroom. He pouted and turned to leave. I grabbed his arm and said to Lita "I love him. Isn't he cute?" "Yes." She said laughing. "Mangas is waiting for you downstairs sweetie."

"Ok, wish me luck." I said going into the hallway. "Seaira wait!" Lita yelled after me. "What?" "How will you know how to your powers?"

"Oh right, thanks Lita." "No problem." I went downstairs and Gangrel pointed to the room. I walked in side to see candles an incense burning everywhere. "Ready?" Mangas asked from the shadows making me jump. "Don't do that!"

"Sorry."

"It's ok and yes."

"Ok lay down." "One question how will I know how to use them?" I said as I got on the altar. "You'll just know." He answered. "Ok."

"Now ready?" "Yes." "Good close your eyes and clear your mind. Pay attention to nothing but my voice." "Ok." He began to gently rub my temples and I easily cleared my mind of everything. "Now just relax and listen." I nodded.

"Ich fordere jetzt die Masse, das weite Plians und die erhabenen mountians, für Energie und Stärke zu ihr auf, da ich dieses peice von Masse beim Zusammenrufen hinzufüge."

I could hear dropping the earth in the chalice and in my head the words in English appeared: "I call now upon the Earth, Far Plains and lofty mountains, For power and strength to her, As I add this piece of earth in summoning."

Ich fordere jetzt das Wasser, Borad Seen, überhaupt-ever-moving Ströme und grenzenlose Ozeane, für Energien und Stärke zu ihr auf, da ich Wasser beim Zusammenrufen hinzufüge.

I heard he spill the water in next and the English words danced across my brain: "I call now upon the waters, Broad Lakes, ever-moving streams And boundless oceans, For powers and strength to her, As I add water in summoning."

"Von ich fordere jetzt die Luft auf, weit erreicht endlosen Platz und das weite Rad der Ewigkeit, für Energien und Stärke zu ihr. Wie ich die Luft das miture beim Zusammenrufen schlagen ließ."

I felt his breath blowing on the mixture in the glass and the English words returned: " I call now upon the air, The far reaches of infinite space, And the far Wheel of Eternity, For powers and strength to her. As Ilet the air hit the mixture in summoning."

"Ich fordere jetzt die tiefen Feuer, diesen Brand in im Kern der Masse, bei einer mit den emergies des Lebens selbst, für Energie und Stärke zu ihr auf, da ich diese flaming Schiene beim Zusammenrufen hinzufüge."

I heard the hiss of the fire as it hit the water and the words came into my mind: "I call now upon the deep fires, That burn in the in the core of the earth, At one with the emerges of Life itself, For power and strength to her, As I add this flaming splint in summoning."

"Erreichen weit in das archiac hinter zeichne mir weiter diese sympols für den, den mein Bann geworfen wird. Hier seien Sie gesponnene Wahrscheinlichkeit, Vermögen und Schicksal, das ihre Energie swifly erreicht werden kann."

He place the symbol of the brood on me as the final word spilled into my brains: "Reaching far into the archaic past I draw forth these symbols
For that which my spell shall be cast.
Here shall be woven Chance, Fortune, and Fate
That her power may be swiftly attained."

"It is done you are now and always be the Arcane." Mangas said proudly. "You may open you eyes now child." I opened them and said "That's it?"

"Thats it, just remember every Friday to do the reinforcement spell."

"Ok." I said trying to sit up. "No Edge will carry you up. Edge!" A moment later Edge came running in "Is she ok?" he asked. "Yes, will you carry her to bed?"

"Yes, of course." He picked me up and put me to bed.

The week by with me in bed. Edge barely left my side. When he did he was back within 30 minutes. Everyone came up to visit me, except Matt and Jeff. Edge went hunting for me and brought me back blood. Mangas decide to stay until the four weeks of casting the reinforcement spell were done. "Guess what day it is? Lita side jumping on my bed. "Friday."

"Yes, Arcane so get your butt up muchacha."

"Ok, Madre." I said. "Hey!"

"What time is it?"

"5:00." She answered. "Your kidding me?"

"Nope sleepy head, so come on Edge and Christian want to take you feeding."

"Ok give me a second."

"One Mississippi."

"Cute." "I know." She said with a smile. "You've been hanging out with Christian for to long."

"I know." She said giving me an evil grin. I open my mouth in shock and said "What aren't you telling me?"

"Nothing." She laughing a bit. "Tell me."

"Nope."

"Spill it!" "I can't."

"Yes, you can, now tell me."

"Ok we're blood bonded."

"You slut!" I said laughing. "Your just mad you and Edge didn't get to do it first."

"So?" We both laughed and I got dressed. I ran downstairs and was enveloped in Edge's massive arms. "Your up." he said. "Yep now lets go feeding." I said. "Can we say blood lust." Christian said. "Shut up you male slut." I said flashing an evil grin. "You told her Lita?" Christian asked Lita. "Yeah." "You vixen." He said tickling her stomach. "Told her what?" Edge asked clueless. "Their blood bonded." I said. "Hey no fair! Why aren't we blood bonded?" He asked me. "Because for the past week I was not allowed to leave bed, let alone a thing strenuous." "Oh fine." He said pouting. I pulled him into a kiss and said "Tonight." "No you just got out of bed I can wait and that final." He said. "But Edge!"

"No."

"Oh fine." "What are we waiting for lets go." Edge said. "But it's not nightfall." Lita said. "We're going to eat first." "Ok, this time we pick." Christian said referring to him and Edge. "Lita I think we should be scared." I said. "I agree." She said. "Hey!" Christian said. "We can pick out a good restaurant." Edge said. "Sure Edge." I said. "Do you girls like fish?" Christian asked. We both said "Yes." "Then The Portuguese Fisherman it is, lets go." The picked us up and placed us in the car. Within minutes we were there. The waitress sat us at a quite booth in the back and gave us the menu. "Ok first the appetizers." Christian said. "How about the cozidos moluscos?" Edge said. Lita and I looked at each other and said "Huh?"

"Baked clams." Edge said. "Oh ok sure I like clams." I said. "Lita?" Christian asked. "Ok."

"I think I'll have a paella." Edge said. "Isn't that a Spanish dish?" I said. "Yes, but they make it here." he said. "I'll have the same." I said. "So will I." Christian said. "Me too." Lita said. We ate then went feeding. Feeding now was second nature to me. I'm guessing because of the spell. After feeding was done we went home. I took my lustral bath, then place the candles around the room and some gem stones. I got dress in the white robe from the spell. I opened the book to 211 and looked over the spell. I looked out the window to the sky and said: "I call upon the wide-ranging powers! I call upon all good friendly guidance! Aid me now in opening my psychic canter! Help me learn to open myself to the wisdom and guidance which I seek. I open the doors, I enter the temple, I go in, I am at one with the secret knowledge. I see with others eyes. I hear with others ears. I feel with others senses. Make it all clear. Hidden knowledge come forth into the light so I may understand." I blow out the candles and blow a kiss to the leaving powers, whose energies I can feel buzzing within me. After a long month of doing the spell I was now the Arcane at full force. Mangas was very proud when he left this morning. Gangrel, Christian and my Edge were beyond happy that it was over now. As for Jeff and Matt they were really quite the whole time. I barely saw them leave their rooms. Tonight is a very special night, tonight Lita and I go feeding alone! The two of us have been talking about this night for two weeks now. "I can't believe they're letting us go out feeding by ourselves!!!" Lita said as she put her make-up on. "I know!!!" I said coming out of the bathroom. "You know if we screw up they'll never let us out alone again."

"I know." I said already hearing Gangrel's lecture. "We'll just go to a club get dinner and leave." Lita said. "Yeah, we'll check in and then go see a late movie or something." "I want to check out Scary Movie or Titan A.E. or X-men." She said. "Remember we promised to see Scary Movie with the guys." I said. "Oh yeah so which one?" She asked. "Titan A.E." I said. "Ok." "Lets go." I said grabbing my coat. We got into our car and went driving off into the city. "So do you want to stop and get some dinner first?" I asked. "Yeah lets go to Bridge Cafe." "Ok, lets." We drove to the cafe and were promptly sated. "Ok how did we get sated so fast?" Lita said after e sat down at one of the best tables in the house. "I don't know." I said flashing my evil grin. "Seaira, you didn't?" "Didn't what?" "You hypnotized her into siting us." "Me never." I said laughing. "Sure." She said laughing. We ordered and talked about which club we wanted to go to. "Lets go to an Underground one." "Ok."

Our food came and we ate it then headed to the first Underground club we could think of. Everything went great the two of us were having the time of our lives. We were dancing, drinking, and having fun. That is everything went great until feeding time. We decide it was 11 o'clock so we had better feed and call the guys to tell them we were going to see Titan A.E. We followed our victims out of the club. We attacked and drank with no problem. However Lita did not stop drinking on time to keep the victim alive. "Oh My god I killed him!" She said backing away form the man she just dropped. "It's ok we'll call Edge and Christian they'll know what to do." "I killed him."

"Lita don't panic, it happens to every vampire."

"But Seaira I didn't want to kill him."

"I know that. It's ok. I'll call on my cell Edge." She paced back and forth in front of the body. "Edge?" "Yeah, wuz up you sound worried." "Lita accidentally killed her victim." I heard Christian ask what was wrong. Edge repeated my last words and Christian took the phone. "Is she ok?" "She's pacing back and forth in front of the body, so I'd say no." "Is that Christian?" Lita asked. "Yes." I said handing her the phone. "I can't stay calm! I killed him. I didn't mean to kill him. Christian come and get us." She gave him the address of where we were and handed me the phone. "Seaira?" Edge said. "Yeah?"

"We're coming to get you we should be there in five minutes. Use your powers to make the body disappear." He said. "Ok." I said. "See you soon, love."

"Ok I love you." "I love you too, bye."

"Bye." They got there within seconds it seemed to me. Christian took Lita into his arms and brought her right to the car. "Make her forget it happened." Edge told me. "Ok, I can try."

"You need to do better then try."

"Aright." I concentrated on her think that she did stop drinking on time and that the boys came to get us to take us to see Scary Movie. "There, I have her thinking you guys came to take us to see Scary movie." "Good, don't breath a word of this to anyone" Edge said. "Ok." I said and as I took his hand and we went back to the car. "Are you guys ready to see Scary Movie." Lita said happily as she sat in Christian's lap. "Yeah we are so lets go. After you Seaira." Edge said opening the car door. We had a great time at the movies and soon everyone forgot what happened. We went home. "Have a good time ladies?" Gangrel asked. "Yes." I said looking to get upstairs as soon as possible. "Whats your rush to get upstairs?" Gangrel asked me grabbing my wrist. "I'm just tired and I promised do something with Edge when I was ready and tonight is the night." "Oh really well then I guess I feel," he yawned, "tired too. Good night guys."

"You two." Luna said laughing. Edge and I ran to my room and shut the door. "Well, my lady are you sure you want to do this tonight?" He asked. "Yes, but first is she going to still have those dreams?" "Not if she can't remember." He said pulling my closer to him. "That’s all I need to know." I said pushing him back on to the bed. After the blood bonding ritual we went to sleep sated. I few hours later I woke up to Lita shaking me. "Seaira wake up!" "Lita what's wrong?" I asked sitting up. "The blood it's everywhere. Make go away."

"Lita what blood?"

"The blood on my hands, in my bed, on my walls and floors, it's everywhere." I took her hands in mine and said "Lita there is no blood on your hands." "Are you blind? Of course there is! I can see deep red and dripping from my fingers."

"Lita there is nothing there."

"Seaira what's going on?" Edge said sleepily."

"Edge do you see it? The blood on my hand isn't there? Seaira can't see it maybe you can." Lita said shoving her hands in his face. "Lita honey there is nothing there. It was just a dream go back to sleep."

"No it was not a dream it was real! The blood is all over me, my hands, my hair and my clothes. It is also all over my room. I'm sorry if I got any on you." "Lita why don't you go sit down well I get Luna and Gangrel?" Edge said. "Yes, please do get them, maybe they can stop the blood." Edge ran down the hall way to get them. "Lita honey where is the blood from?" I asked. "From the victims I've killed." "But Lita you have not killed anyone." "Yes, I have and there back for revenge"

"No, Lita it was just a nightmare."

"No, it wasn't. There here can't you hear them? See them?"

"No, Lita because your just imaging things."

"I am not crazy!" She said standing. "I never said you were." "But that is what your thinking Seaira, I know it." "Lita calm down." "That's easy for you to see since your not the one whose being haunted by your victims."

"Lita you left you victims alive."

"No I didn't!" Just them Luna came in "Seaira Gangrel wishes to speak to you downstairs. I'll watch her."

"Ok." I said leaving and running downstairs. Both Edge and Gangrel were waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. "Lets go into the kitchen." Gangrel said leading the way. Once inside he locked the door. "What the fuck happened tonight?" "Lita accidentally killed her victim." I said. "Great and what did you three do about it and where is Christian?"

"He is still in bed I think." Edge said. "Go get him Edge, Seaira will answer my questions till then." Edge nodded and left. "I made the body disappear and made her forget it happened."

"Well, then why the hell is this happening?" He said not really to me but more to himself. "Gangrel she said The blood is from the victims she has killed. She only has killed one." "And that one she can't even remember killing." "Yes, tonight when we got back in the car when it happened she seemed to forget completely. When we went to the movies she looked as if she was having a great time." "Then it must be someone else who is doing this." He said. Just then Edge and Christian came in. "Did you boys see Matt and Jeff?" Gangrel asked. "Nope, but we could go check to see if they're in their rooms." Edge said. "Go then and does he know what is going on?"

"Yes, Gangrel Edge told me." Christian said. "Ok, now go check." They went running back upstairs. "Do they have the power to do something like this?" I asked as he began to pace. "Yes, I believe they should. Or they could have found someone who does. They most certainly have a motive."

"True."

"Go into the blue office you will see a cabinet on the right wall inside you will see something labeled languor and a needle give them to Luna."

"Yes Gangrel." I went into the room got the stuff and went running up the stairs as Edge and Christian were coming down. "They're not in the house." Edge said to me. "Oh great." I said. "Gangrel is going to love this." Christian said. "Yeah like a hole in the head." I said, as they reached the bottom. I went into my room to find Lita still talking about the blood and her victims. "Luna there here hundreds of them! Why does no one see them?"

"Because Lita they are not really here your just..."

"No, they are here your just blind! Blind, blind, blind, blind!" "Lita please."

"Luna Gangrel told me to give this to you."

"Thank you Seaira. Don't go anywhere I want to talk to you."

"Sure Luna." I stood there and watched her give Lita the drug. "Lita this will make the blood go away." She said injecting her with it. She was asleep in seconds. "What is going on? I told her about what happened when we went feeding and downstairs. "I can't believe this! Those to ungrateful little brats have had it! I'm going to rip them apart!" "If Gangrel doesn't first." I said. "Yes if Gangrel doesn't first." We went downstairs to Gangrel yelling a string of curses. "Those little assholes! I'm going to rip their fucking heads off! Or better yet rip their balls off and..."

"Gangrel stop it yelling won't get us any where." Luna yelled. "Fine I'm going to go for a walk outside, please try and find out where the assholes could be!" He said storming out. "Luna maybe you should go after him." I said. "No Christian go. The three of us need to figure out where they are."

"Sure." Christian said going to follow Gangrel. "Where would they go?" Edge asked. "Most likely some where they won't be to easily found. I can tell they are still in the city." Luna said closing her eyes and pacing. "Do they have the ability to do this?" I asked. "If they got a hold of the right book, yes."

"The spell books in the library and the one in my room." I said. "Do they contain that kind of spell?" Edge asked me. "I don't know I have not looked in all of them."

"Gangrel would know right?" Luna said. "He might but Mangas would know what kind of spell they used and how to reverse it." I said. "Then call him." Luna said. "It's 6 in the morning where he is." Edge said. "Ok call him tomorrow." Luna said to me. "Ok." I said. "Lets check the books here and Luna go talk to Gangrel." I said. "Ok." She said running out to find Gangrel and Christian. Edge and I found that all the books were in the library so we began to look through them. Just then Gangrel, Luna and Christian came in. "Find anything?" Christian asked. "Nope." Edge said. "Any of those books could have had that spell. It's not a hard one to do." Gangrel said. "This is getting us no where lets just go to bed and call Mangas tomorrow." Luna said. "Ok." I said putting down the book in my hand. We all retied to our rooms for the rest of the night. The next day the first thing I did was call Mangas. I told what happen with Lita. "Well, what you need to do is keep her a wake and I'll find the reversal spell and fax it to you."

"Ok, thank you Mangas"

"Your welcome. Oh and in the mean time get a black jade crystal and put it on her."

"Black is protection from evil right?" I asked. "Yes."

"Maybe I should also out on a purple one for health."

"Yes, amethyst is best." He said. "Ok I'll get them right away." "If I don't send you the fax before tonight do a protection spell."

"Ok."

"Talk to you later." Mangas said. "Till later." "Bye." "Bye." I said. "What did he say?" Christian asked. "That he'll fax the reversal spell, but until then we need to make her wear an amethyst and black jade stones. We need to keep her up too. If he has not faxed the reversal by tonight I'm going to do a protection spell." "Thats it?" He asked. "Yes." "Ok I'll go keep her up." Christian said going upstairs. "Gangrel do you have amethyst and black jade stones?" "Yes." "Go get them please. Luna help me look for a protection spell or a binding spell would work too."

"Ok." She said. "What should I do?" Edge asked. "Look for any possible spells they used." I said. "Ok." "Here are the crystals." Gangrel said. "Good come with me we need to boil water, sea salt, sandal wood incenses and white candles. You to keep looking." "What are you doing?" Gangrel asked. "Purifying them."

"All that stuff is in the cabinet in the altar room."

"Good, I'll get it you go and help them look."

"Ok." I went to the kitchen and boiled a pot of water to get rid of germs and other impurities then went to the altar room. In there I took out the candles and set them up along with the incense. When the water was ready I put in a table spoon of sea salt and stirred. Then I placed the water in the center of the altar. I put the crystals inside and said the incantation: "Cleansed are these crystals. Purged of all residual energies and undesirable influences. Only the good, the pure, and the strong remain herein. These crystals are made receptive to their powers. As I will it so shall it be." I took the crystals outside and let them sun dry. Then went to check on Christian and Lita. "Hey guys." I said peeping in. "Seaira why don't you guys see the blood? I see it. I see it all over." "Christian maybe you should help Lita take a nice bath." I said to Christian. "Yeah Lita how about a nice bath?" "Ok, that should get some of the blood off me." "Yes it should come now you go get undressed well I talk to Seaira about your presents." Christian said. "My presents? Well, they make the blood and the voices go away?"

"They should." I said. "Ok, I'll go get undressed" She said walking into the bathroom. "How are you guys doing? Christian asked. "I just purified the crystals they should be ready when she comes out." I said. "How about the spells?" he asked. "Nothing yet." I said. "Ok I'll go take care of her." He said sadly walking into the bathroom. "Alright." I turned to leave but instead said "Christian we'll find them. I promise." "I know you will now go look." He said giving me a weak smile. I went back downstairs and checked the fax machine and there was nothing.

Then I went back into the library "Any luck?" I asked. "None with finding what they used but Luna found a protection spell." Edge said. "Let me see it." I looked over the spell Luna handed me "Not good. She needs to be the one to do this one and she is in no condition to do it."

"That’s what I thought." She said. I sat down a picked up where I left off looking through my book. "I found binding spell." I said. "Great do it." Edge said. "No, lets see if Mangas fax's us the reversal." I said. "Ok." Edge said. "I'm going to give Christian the crystals for her." I went upstairs and gave him the crystals. "Thanks Seaira."

"I found a binding spell."

"Great are you doing it?"

"Not yet." I said. "Ok."

"I'm going to check the fax machine."

"Ok." I went to the fax machine and there was the reversal spells. "I got a reversal the spell.""Great lets hear it!" Gangrel said. "Ok it says: Place a large black candle in the cauldron (or a large black bowl). The candles must be tall enough to extend a few inches above the cauldron's rim. Affix the candle to the bottom of the cauldron with warmed beeswax or the drippings of another black candle so that it will not tip over. Fill the cauldron to the rim with fresh water, without wetting the candle's wick. An inch or two should remain above the water. Deeply breathe, meditate, clear your mind and light the candle. Visualize the suspected spell's power as residing within the candle's flame. Sit in quiet contemplation of the candle and visualize the power flowing and growing within the candle's flame. As the candle burns down, it's flame will eventually sputter and go out as it contacts the water. As soon as the flame has been extinguished by the water, the spell will be dispersed. Break your visualization of the spell's power; see it explode into dust, becoming impotent. Pour the water into a hole in the ground, a lake or stream. Bury the candle. It is done." "That’s it?" Luna asked. "Yes but I still want to find a better binding spell." I said. "What's wrong with the one you have?" Edge asked. "It sounds just like the one from The Craft." I said. "Ok we'll look." Edge said. "No, they'll look your coming with me to get everything we need set up." I said grabbing by his wrist and dragging him out. "Do we have a lake or stream near by?" I asked as we entered the altar room. "We have a lake about two minutes from the house." He said as I looked through the cabinet. "Great, we need to go out and get another black candle or beeswax. Well, we're out we can stop and get some water from that lake."

"Ok lets go." He said going to leave the room. "Wait!"

"What?" He said turning towards me. "This." I said pulling him into a kiss. "I've wanted to do that since God knows when today." I said breaking it. He smiled at me and said "I love you." "I love you too. Now come on." I said grabbing his hand and running back to the library. "We're going out to get some supplies."

"Ok." Gangrel said.

We went out to a little magic shop and got everything we need. We then went to the lake, got the water and ten home. "Hey did you guys find anything?" I said as we shut the door. "Yes, here take a look." Luna said coming into the hall. "Ok." I said taking the book from her. "Ok this will work. Go get the stuff together and I'll go and do the reversal." I said

I went into the altar room and put a warmed beeswax on the bottom of large black candle and then placed in the cauldron. Then I carefully fill the cauldron with the lake water. I cleared my mind and lit the candle. Visualizing spell's power as being in the candle's flame. I saw the power flowing and growing within the candle's flame. The candle burned down, after what seemed like forever. The spell was be gone, Lita will be fine. I went to the lake poured the water into the lake. Lastly, I buried the candle and walked back to the house, it was now nightfall. "How is she?" I said as I walked into the house. I got no answer. "Hey is anybody home?" "Nope they went out to get you what you needed to do the binding spell Arcane." someone said behind me. I whirled around to see Matt standing in front of the door. "Matt."

"Yes, Seaira and Jeff." I looked over my shoulder to see Jeff with Lita slung over his shoulder. "What are you guys doing here? What is going on?" I asked stepping towards the wall. "We're talking back what's ours." Matt said moving closer to me. "If you cared about her so much then why did you do that to her?" I said stepping into his face. "We did what we had to do to get the others out of the picture so we could take her back." Matt said stepping close. "We've been watching since she started going crazy. We knew that you'd find the reversal do it and then try and bind us." Jeff said. "When you left at we went upstairs knocked out Christian and tied him up." said Matt. "We planed on getting out of here before you returned, but Lita gave us some trouble and we realized we needed you." Jeff added. "Need me for what?"

"For one thing your the one that was going to do the binding spell, two they won't be able to find us with the right spell which your going to do and three Jeff likes you." Matt said grabbing my arm. I pulled my arm away "He does not he just likes the idea of stealing something Edge loves. Just like you both like taking something Christian loves."

"Ooooo little miss righteous." Matt said. "Put her down and leave now before you piss me off." I said calmly, but worth a bite of steal. "What are you going to do?" Matt said. "Yeah, there is two of us and we have ourselves a little hostage." Jeff said. "So you admit you just want because it will hurt Christian?" I said getting in his face. "No." Jeff said. "Then why would you use her as a hostage?" I asked. "I've had about enough of this lets go!" Matt said grabbing my arms. "I'm not going anywhere and neither is she." I said ripping myself out of his grip and I concentrated on the light bulbs blow up. They did I kicked forward and hit Jeff in the stomach I heard Lita fall out of his arms and on to the floor. I turned around and kneed Matt into the groin, then I shoved him over. Jeff regained his barring and grabbed me by the hair. I my placed a hand on his, dug my nails into it and the raked my nails across his arm. I kicked back right into his groin. I grabbed Lita and ran out the door, just as Matt was getting up. He of course went after me and I was handicapped by Lita's weight. He ran at us and tackled us to the ground and on the way down I hit my head on one of the stones that paved the drive way. Before I blacked out I heard "Get the spell books on the coffee table Jeff. I'll put them in the car."

"Ok." Jeff yelled back. I felt Matt lift me up and into the back then I passed out.

A few hours later I woke to the feeling of a cold, wet, cloth being applied to my face. "Edge?" "I'm afraid not Arcane." Jeff said. I went to move my arms and my legs but found that the were both tied down. "Untie me asshole!" "Now why on earth would I want to do that?" He said running his knuckles across my cheek. I looked into his eyes and said "Jeff untie me now."

"Yes, Seaira." He quickly undid my arms and legs. "Jeff where is Lita?"

"She is tied up in the basement."

"Is Matt down there?"

"Yes, he in torturing her."

"What floor are we one?"

"The second."

"I want you to go down there say you left me alone for a moment and I woke up and climbed out the window. I lost my footing and fell to the ground. Get him to come outside with you to get me. Only I won't be there, so say she must have gotten up and ran. Let him say something and then say you think you saw my running what every way he isn't looking at the time.

That means if he's looking left you saw me right. Go that way and keep him busy." "Yes, Seaira." "When I snap my fingers you will wake and do what I said."

"Yes, Seaira." I snapped my fingers and he turned around towards the door. The he turned back around and in a split second he tackled me back on to the bed, knocking the wind out of me. He flipped me onto my back, grabbed my wrist and tied then together. "Seaira sweetheart that won't work because my brother and I figure you'd try that so we put contacts in you eyes."

"I hate you!"

"Now, now that’s not nice. You don't want me to tell Matt to really start torturing Lita do you?"

"No. He isn't now?" "No, of course not. However Matt is having his fun with her, if you know what I mean."

"Then he is torturing her!"

"It didn't sound like that when I passed they're room." "What do you mean?" "Don't play dumb you know what I mean. She was in there moaning and yelling like a bitch in heat. Which after only having Christian's inch in her, she is."

"Your lying!"

"No, I'm not why don't you hear for yourself."

"Fine." He tied my ankles back up and then picked me up. He went up two flights of stairs and then stopped and he was right all Lita was doing was calling out for Matt. "What did you two assholes do to her?"

"Nothing Sweetheart, that you wouldn't do." "What do you mean?"

"Matt put a little love spell on her."

"What? Your never suppose to do that!! Thats mind control!! That’s going to come back to him in a really bad way!"

"Oh yes just like in The Craft right?" He said turning around and starting back down. "Yes. He as to undo it."

"Yeah right or it will come back to times three." He said mocking me. "Yes it will. Your in enough trouble with bad things coming back to you so why don't you just quit now." "Let me think....No." he said laughing. "Your an asshole." "I'm not even going to comment. Now we have to find a spell to keep the others away. If you don't help me then I'll tell Matt to hurt Lita and you know what she'd love it."

"I'll help!" I said through clenched teeth. "Good. What are we looking for?" "A spell to keep you hidden."

"Ok." After about an hour I found a spell to bind Matt's love spell as well as them. It was in French which lucky me I knew but if they knew I might be in trouble. "Can you read French?" I asked. "No, why?"

"Because I found the spell we're looking for but it's in French."

"How do I knew that your not casting a spell on us?"

"You'll have to trust me."

"I don't trust you."

"Then I guess we'll just have to keep on looking for one in English." I used my powers to make so that he would not find the spell so he'd given and let me do the spells I had. After another two hour s he did just that. "Ok do them in French, but I swear If you fuck with me I'll kill you and her."

"Ok." "I need three black candles, something of your's and Matt's and black ribbon."

"Black is used in a binding spell." He said roughly pulling me to him. "Yes, but the night is black and things easy hide in the dark. The black candles are the darkness, the objects you give me represent you and the ribbon being wrapped around you hide you."

"Remember my warring" he said pushing me from him. "I'll be back with what you need." He came back ten minutes later tossed the stuff on the bed and said "I locked the door and the only way you get out is with this key so behave or else." "Ok." I set up the candle and lit them. Then I began the chant as I chanted I bound their things in the black ribbons.

"le ye venu comme charme est fait! La reine du ciel, reine d'enfer, chasseur à cornes de la nuit prêtent votre puissance unto le charme, et travaillent notre volonté à côté du rite magique! Par toute la puissance de terre et de mer, par toute la force de lune et de soleil j'appelle la terre pour lier leur charme et eux. Air pour l'expédier bien. Lumineux comme feu elle rougeoiera. Profondément comme marée d'écoulement de l'eau. Comptez les éléments quatre fois autant, dans le cinquième que le charme se tiendra." In English it said:

"Come ye as the charm is made!
Queen of heaven, Queen of hell,
Horned Hunter of the night
Lend your power unto the spell,
And work our will by magic rite!
By all the power of land and sea,
By all the might of moon and sun
I call the Earth to bind their spell and them.
Air to speed it well.
Bright as Fire shall it glow. vDeep as tide of Water flow.
Count the elements fourfold,
In the fifth the spell shall hold."

"That is?" Jeff asked. "Yes, that’s it." "Ok, now it's time you and I got down to some real business. Strip."

"Excuse me?"

"Take off you clothes and get down on your knees."

"Let me think about that for a second...No!"

"If you don't then I'll tell Matt to..."

"To do what? Why don't you come over here and try to take it out on me like a good boy."

"Ok fine." He went running out me ready to attack but stop dead in his tracks about an inch in front of me. "What the hell?" "Oh I forgot to tell you that spell was to bind your's and Matt's asses."

"You little..."

"Now, now don't make me angrier then you already have."

"You little bitch!"

"Fine have it your way." I said picking up a lamp that was on the stand table and bashing him over the head with it. "Oops did I did that?" I said mockingly as he fell to the floor unconscious. "Now where did you but that key Rainbow Bright." I said rummaging through his pockets. "Here it is thank you Rainbow Bright. Now lets tie you up." I tied him to the bedpost just as he did to me, then went to the door to listen for Matt. I didn't hear him so I gently unlocked and closed the door. I slowly climbed up the stairs and to Matt's room. I heard nothing so I assume that after the workout they had their asleep. I gently turned the door knob till it gave and slipped into the room. I tiptoed over to the bed and unsure of what I planed on doing. I shook Lita awake and put my hand over her mouth. She opened her eyes and I pointed to the door and put my finger to my lips to say be really quiet. She slowly slid off the bed and to her feet. She pulled her jeans and tank top on and we left the room and closed the door gently. We went down the stairs as silently and fast as possible. When we reached the end of the stairs there was the door down the hallway to the right. We ran to the door and next to it there was the table and on a cell phone. "Seaira the door needs the key to open the top lock and I bet they have it." She whispered. "Lets try the window and we're taking to cell phone with us."

"Why?"

"Duh to call a cab and to call home to say we're ok." I whispered. "We don't know where we are to get a cab."

"Yes, we do look their is mail on the table and that’s the address." I said pointing to the address on the envelope. "Ok, now lets get the fuck out of here." She said grabbing the envelope and then running to the front window. I opened it and kicked out the screen. "Come on." I said. I let her go first then we closed the window and we ran down the drive way. "Lets get up the block before we try the phone."

"The farther the better." She said as we began to run down the street. When we reached the street sign I dialed 411. "State and city please?" The operator said. I told her the State and city and that we need the a local cab company. She looked it up we dialed the number and told them where we were and where we need to get to. They said they'd be here in 15 minutes. "What if within that 15 minutes they come out of their house?" Lita said. "He'd have to untie Jeff first and I have a block on them so they can't hurt us." "We should have tied Matt up."

"To late now." I said. "But what if they come out?"

"We'll go knock on one of these people's door, that should scary them."

"Ok." I then dialed home "Hello?" Edge said anxiously "It's me." "Seaira! Oh my God are you alright? Is Lita with you? Where are you?" "Easy there killer. We're fine."

"Meaning you and Lita?" "Yes, psycho."

"Thank God."

"We called a cab about five minutes ago and it will be here in like ten minutes."

"Ok we'll be waiting for you. I want you to stay on the phone till atleast when the cab comes."

"Ok." "Christian wants to talk to Lita."

"Ok." "Hold on a second." "Lita Christian wants to talk to you."

"Christian? No, I'm alright now. Seaira put a binding spell on them. Matt put a spell on me and he made us...I mean we...Oh God Christian I slept with him. I was there as he put the spell on me." She said turning hysterical. "Here he wants to talk to you." I took the phone and she sat down on the sidewalk. "Hello Christian."

"How did you bind them and how far from them are you?" "They wanted me to do a spell to keep you guys from finding them so I found a binding spell in French and did it. We're at the end of the block, that pretty far from their house."

"How much longer till the cab gets there?" "About five minutes."

"Good." We talked until that cab came and until the phone died well riding back to the house. When we got home Edge and Christian were siting at the end of the driveway. I practically threw myself out of the car and into Edge's arms, as did Lita. Christian paid for the cab and we ran to the house. Luna and Gangrel were just as happy to see us ok. "We are thankful that you are both safe and sound but I want revenge!" Christian said. "As do I." Edge said. "We all want revenge for what they did but they are binded so physical punishment would be one sided." Gangrel said. "So!" Edge and Christian said. "So I say we do what they do to all vampires who betray there coven." Luna said. "And what is that?" I asked. "Have you been in the basement?" She asked. "No." I said. "Down there, there is indents in the wall in the shape of an eight feet long and 38 inches wide rectangle." She said. "The depth of the cavity is 2 feet. We place the tied up vampire in there and brick up the opening." Gangrel added. "We leave them in there until we are sure they are dead form starvation and insanity. The walls down there are sound proof so we'll never hear the insane screams. Once dead we take their remains and burn them." Edge said. "Once burnt we sprinkle the remains in the ocean." Christian said. "That is cruel and unusual punishment." I said a bit in shock. "What they kidnapped, raped and hit you both, what would you have us do?" Christian said. "I was not raped and how would you like it if you were in their place down there?" I said. "I wouldn't be down there." he said. "Answer the question." I said. "What does it matter I'm not there and they deserve it." "How can you defend them?" Edge asked. "I'm not defending them. Why can't we just burn them?" I said. "Because I want them to suffer." Christian said. "Then made your not much better then they are, since they did what they did for almost the same reason. They did it to make you suffer." I said. "Well, they did a great job." He said. "Yes, they did so lets end it. Just kill them." "It isn't enough!" "Why not Christian you back stab them by becoming Lita's boyfriend so they did it back to you by taking Lita." "So what about you why did they take you?" Edge said. "To piss you off." I said. "This is getting us no where." Gangrel said. "I agree so we'll have a vote," Luna said, "if you wish to just kill them raise you hands." Luna, Edge and I raised our hands. "If you wish to do it the old way then raise your hand." Gangrel said. Gangrel, Lita and Christian raised their hands. "Ok we have to chose one way or the other, so how?" Edge said. "Ok how about we do the old way to Matt and just burn Jay." Gangrel said. "No, they two should go together." Luna said. "How about we torture them and then kill them?"

"For how long?" I said. "At the most a week or so, which is nothing compared to the old way" Gangrel said. "Fine." I said. "Ok, then lets fine them." Christian said. "Here is their address." I said handing them the letter. "They won't be there." Lita said. "True but it's a start, lets get ready to go." Gangrel said. Edge and I went upstairs and kissed feverishly. About five minutes later we stopped and freshened up. Then we ran downstairs. "Lets go." Gangrel said. We all ran out to the cars, Edge, Luna, and I in one car. The other had Christian, Lita and Gangrel in it. "Since they're binded them they can't fight back?" Edge asked. "Yes." I answered. "Well, then this should be interesting."

"Yes it will." Luna said. After a while we arrived at the house. I looked into the windows and couldn't tell if the lights were on. The other car got there just after we did. All together we walked up to the house. The guys tried the door only to find it, as suspected, locked. "Should we ring the bell or break down the door?" Edge asked. "Try ringing it, see what happens." Luna said. He did and no one answered. "Shall I break it in?"

"There are people around here." Lita said. "Yeah so lets go around back and find a window or something." I said. "Good point." Edge said. We went around back and went through a back window. When we got in we were in kitchen and on the floor was a bloody mangled Jeff. "What the hell is this?" Gangrel asked. I kneeled down next to him and put my hand on his forehead. The wounds on his body healed right away. Jeff opened his eyes and jumped to his feet and put his arms around Luna. "Sire what happened? Where are we? Why aren't we in Europe?" "Jeff you don't remember?" Luna asked. "No and where is Matt? Who are these people?" He said pointing to Lita and I. "Don't play dumb asshole."

"What are you talking about Edge?" "His thoughts say he really doesn't know." Gangrel said. "How is that possible?" I asked. "Maybe he was drugged." Luna said. "Where is Matt?" Jeff asked again. "What do you remember about getting beaten up?" I asked. "I was tied up someone grabbed me and threw me down the stairs. I never saw there face all I know is they would not stop." Jeff asked. "Lets check around the house, Luna you stay with him and tell him what has been going on." Gangrel said. "Ok." Luna said. We checked the house and found nothing. No, Matt or even a trace of Matt. Or a trace of what happened to Jeff. There was obvious evidence of someone being throw down the stair because Christian found a tooth. There was blood on the carpet, which looked like someone got drag across. However no drugs or needles of any kind. We walked back to the kitchen and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by Jeff on his knees apologizing to us all. "I'm so sorry. I'm so very sorry Lita, Seaira, Edge, Gangrel, Christian and Luna. Lita, Seaira, Edge, Christian, Sire and Gangrel please forgive me. I don't believe I did this. I'm sorry." "Jeff get up, lets get out of here." Gangrel said. "Wait did you press redial on the phone?" I said. "No." Gangrel said. "Well, lets check." I said hitting redial on the sticky kitchen phone. I got the airport. "He went to the airport." "Ok Edge, Christian, Seaira and I are going to the airport. The rest of you go back to the house." Gangrel said. "Wait what If the airport is a decoy?" I said. "Ok Seaira go with them. You four take the silver car, we'll take the black one." Gangerl said. "Ok let book." I said. "Book?" Luna said. "My Dad always use to say it." I said as we left. We got in the car and we drove home. I hope nothing happens to them. What I don't get is how Matt could beat up Jeff. Unless Jeff was still on the drugs. "Jeff do you remember being on drugs?" I asked. "No, I can't remember anything." "How about your brother do you remember him before you got hit?" I asked. "Yes, he was yelling something." "So was he yelling it as he hit you?" Luna asked. "No, he was in another room." "Luna call the guys and tell them this. How many were hitting you Jeff?" "I think four."

"Where was Matt?" Lita asked. Luna was now on the phone with Edge telling him what was going on. "In another room."

"Was he trying to stop them?"

"I don't know, he was yelling something."

"Think what was he yelling?" Luna said. "I don't know." he said put his head in his hands. "Ok don't push it. As soon as we get home I'm going to bind there asses." "Can you do that without something of there's? "Yes, all I need is to write what something they've done on a piece a paper. I'll use the genii in a bottle method, I'll put it in the bottle and until it is open they can't do anything."

"Ok." Luna said. A few seconds later she hung up the phone. "They're at the airport." "And we're almost home." Lita said. I speed home and ran into the house. I got a glass jar, a piece of paper with what they did on it and said the same chant as last time. Then dropped the paper in the jar. "Luna call the boys and make sure their alright." "Sure." She said calling in them. "Hey guys wuz up? You have them, thank God. Is Matt still the same. Oh, ok. See you soon." "What happened?" Jeff said with puppy dog eyes. "They caught them, but Matt is still sorta the same, whatever that means. They're on their way home."

"How could Matt do this? We just made up with Edge, Christian and Gangrel. How could he do this to this poor innocent girl?" He said pointing to Lita. "How could he do this to Edge's feedling? Most importantly how can he betray me?"

"Jeff it will be ok." Luna said. "No, it won't my on brother! You and everyone else here is going to kill him aren't you?" "We have to." Luna said. "No, you don't! I love my brother you kill him then I'm out of here."

"Jeff."

"No!" He said running upstairs. "He is such a baby when he is angry." Luna said shaking her head. "Luna I know this really doesn't concern me but may I try and talk to him?" I asked. She sighed and said "It can't hurt." I ran up after him and knocked on his door. "Sire I don't want to hear it." "Jeff it's Seaira, may I come in?" "Come in." I opened the door to see him laying on the bed hiding his face. "Jeff please look at me." "Why? How could you look at me Luna told me about how I kidnapped you? I remember what I almost made you do." "Jeff," I said sitting beside him, "I want to look at you because I know that you didn't do it."

"Yes I did!" "No, Jeff the drugs did it." "It's so easy to blame something else but I was the one who trusted my brother to let him drug me." He sat up and looked at me with tears streaming down his face. "I thought he was giving me something to help me sleep, but I know now it wasn't. I have not told Luna yet that I remember that."

"Oh Jeff." I said brushing the long colorful hair from his face. "I remember what Matt was yelling too."

"What was he yelling?" "He was telling them to go easy on me. Not to cause anything permeant. He knew you all would find me and take me back here." "I'm so sorry Jeff." "Why Seaira you have not done anything."

"I know this, I just feel bad."

"Don't pity me."

"I'm not pitying you." I said. "Then what do you call feeling bad for me?" "Being normal."

"What is normal?" Jeff answered. "There is no normal, but anyone would feel bad for you."

"You should not fell bad for me after what I did to you and your Sire. Or what I did to Christian and my feedling."

"Would you stop it! It was not you! You were not yourself!" "How would you know Seaira you don't even know me." "Jeff I can tell you're a good person, because I a bad person would not have need to be drugged to do what you do. Better still they would have felt no remorse for doing what you did." A shadow of a smile played on his features for a moment just a moment and then the somber frown returned "Your right but still."

"Jeff punishing yourself is not going to make it better. With time this will be just a memory. No one can hate you for it. They have all forgiven you, or will." "Edge got lucky to have such amazing girl like you. I hope that someday I can meet someone like you." I smiled and then I thought of someone who I hadn't in what seemed like ages, Erica. "I'll tell you what if you stop this it's all my fault stuff now and come downstairs I'll introduce you to my friend Erica."

"Is she a vampire?"

"No, but she's a lot like me." "Can I make her a vampire?" "You an ask her." I said getting up and extending my hand for him. "Deal." He said taking my hand and letting me lead him downstairs. As we came down the boys came back, with our house guests. "We're home!" Gangrel yelled holding the end on a chain, which had four people chained to it. "Hey guys." I said. "Did you miss me?" Edge said pulling me to him. "More then you will ever know."

"Christian can I talk to you for a second?" Jeff asked. "Sure rainbow bright." Christian said. "Take it into the Library and be nice!" I said. "Seaira and Edge you go take them to the basement and lock them up." Gangrel said. Edge grab the chain from Gangrel and lead them down, I stood at the back of the line. We unchained them one by one and hooked them up to the wall. "Now boys you can scream all you want cause we won't hear you. The walls are sound proof." "Like we'd scream anyway." A guy with blonde hair said. "Seaira watch them I'll go found out what Gangrel wants to do with him." Edge said running upstairs. I walked over to a chair and sat down. "Hey sweetie why don't you come over here, I got something for you." The blonde said. I smiled and looked at a jeweled dagger and made it fly and stop two inches from his head. It stood there floating in mid air. Then I blew him a kiss. "How the hell did she do that?"

"She is The Arcane. Seaira how is Jeff?" Matt asked. "He is fine, like you care."

"What the hell are you talking about? I love my brother."

"Yeah that is why you let these buffoons beat him up."

"Look I had to." "Yeah right." "Seaira believe me." "No, feel fortunate that I talk them out of killing the old way. Now their just going to burn you." "I want to talk to my brother!" "Thats not up to me thats up to him." "Please go get him." "Sorry I was told to stay down here." "Umm miss Arcane can you relax the knife?" The blonde asked. "Oh yeah sorry." I said making go back on the wall. "Seaira honey you can go on up. He does not know what he wants to do with him, right now we're just going to put them to sleep." Edge said. "Ok." I said getting 2 needle from him and getting Matt and the blonde. We then went back upstairs just in time to see Jeff and Christian shaking hands. "Oh look they like each other." Edge said. "Stop it." I said hitting his chest. "Sorry."

"Oh Edge tonight Jeff and I are going to visit an all friend." "Who?" "Remember that girl I use to work with?" "Yes, and no your not going." "Edge!" "No, Gangrel will never go for it."

"Please." v"Seaira."

"Please."

"Go ask Gangrel." "Thank you." I said kissing his cheek. "But I'm going with you."

"Ok." I said grabbing Jeff's wrist and going to see Gangrel. "Gangrel."

"Yes Seaira." "Can Jeff, Edge and I go to see an old friend of mine."

"Why?"

"I want Jeff to meet her."

"Why?"

"Because I think they would make a cute couple." He sighed and said "Ok, but if he likes her I want to meet her." "You already have."

"When?"

"The girl at the story I use to work at."

"I still want to meet her again."

"Sure. Come on Jeff lets get you something to wear."

"What’s wrong with what I'm wearing?"

"Jeff you in a t-shirt and jeans, they won't let you in a club that way."

"No, I'm not going to a club."

"Yes you are."

"No I can't."

"Why?"

"I can't dance."

"So? I can't either. Now no more of this, lets go." We went up to his room and picked out some clothes for him. "Get ready we want to get out of here by 9." I said going to my room to get ready. I went into my room to be met by site of an of dipping wet Edge just in towel. "My God your hot." He laughed and said "I'd like to see you dripping wet in a towel."

"Give me 20 minutes and you will." I said running in the bathroom so I stopped drooling. I took my shower and as promised I came out in my towel. "Now that is hot." "Thank you now before we need another shower I'm getting dressed." "Oh fine." We got dressed and got Jeff. "Ok guys well be back before dawn." I yelled as we walked out. We got to the club Erica and I use to go to called Noir. "What if she's not here?" Jeff asked nervous. "We don't have to worry about that cause there she is." I said pointing her out. She was ordering a drink. "Edge I have a question?"

"Yeah." "What did Gangrel do to my family and friends to make them not look for me?" "He made them think that you moved to LA."

"He did that and didn't tell me to call them?" "No, he called them a few times using your voice." "What?!?!? How many times is a few times?"

"To many." "God damn it!"

"Sorry, he was going to tell you tomorrow and let you start calling. He just wanted to make sure you were loyal."

"Ok I'm not going to be mad, lets just go met Erica." I walked over to her and said "Excuse me bitch." She turned around ready to snap but then saw it was me and yelled "Seaira!!! Oh my God!" She threw her arms around me and hugged me. "How are you? How is LA?" "I'm great and LA is cool too." She leaned on and whispered in my ear "Who are the yummy guys behind you?" I laughed and said "The big blonde man is my boyfriend Edge and the colorful guy next to him is Jeff."

"Hi Edge. Hi Jeff." She didn't even look at Edge when she said hi, she only had eyes for Jeff. "Hi." He said extending his hand. She took it and he kissed her palm. "Thank you."

"May I have this dance?" Jeff asked. "Sure, Seaira can you get my drink?" "Sure hon." "Well, it looks like you've set them up." Edge said. "Yes I have." I said getting Erica's drink. "Do you want a drink?" Edge asked. "No, I'm going to drink Erica's." I said with an evil grin. "Bad Seaira." "What are you going to do punish me?"

"Yes." He pulled the drink out of my hand and kissed me. "Do it again." I said when he stopped. "With pleasure." He said kissing me longer this time. Hours of kissing, dancing, drinking and talking pasted and we parted ways at sun up. Before we all left Jeff and Erica exchanged numbers and we made plans to go out to eat that night. We got home and went straight to bed. We slept until four. "Good afternoon you 2." Christian said opening the curtains in my room. "Christian what time is it?" Edge asked. "Four." "Is Jeff up?" "Yep he got up ten minutes ago. He's been tell Luna and Gangrel about Erica." "We all have dinner plans to night." I said sitting up. "I know thats all the ball of energy has been talking about." Christian said. Edge and I busted out laughing. "You should have been there last night." Edge said in between laughs. "I'm glad I wasn't." Christian said. "I going to take a shower." I said jetting for the shower. When I came out I noticed Edge was already showered and dressed. "Could you take any longer?"

"Yes, do you want me to?"

"No, I missed you." He said going to wrapping his arms around me." "Your going to get all wet." I stepped out f his reach. "So?"

"No, you look to good to get all wet." Just then there was a knock on the door. "Hey Seaira can I come in?" Lita said. "Yeah come on in." Lita came in and shut the door behind her "Can I barrow that black slip dress?" "Yeah." I said. "Thank you." She said pulling it put of the closet. "Your welcome."

"Go dry your hair." Edge softly ordered. "Why so you can mess it up?"

"Yes, now go."

"Okay." I said. I dried my hair and got dressed and was ready to go. "What about the dumb asses downstairs?" Christian asked getting the keys. "They'll be out for atleast 12 more hours." Luna said. We all left to get Erica. Once she got in our car her and Jeff were all over each other. The whole night was spent with me teasing Erica and everyone else teasing Jeff. When we drove Erica back to her apartment Jeff walked her up. When he got to the car he was bouncing. "You to are going put tomorrow night aren't you?" I asked. "Yes!!!!" "Oh God." Edge said. "Shhhh, it's cute." I said. "Okay I'll shut up." He said. We went home and to bed. The next day I woke up to Jeff shaking me. "What is it Jeff?"

"Matt wants to talk to me, will you come down with me?"

"Sure let me just get dressed."

"Thank you." I got dressed and met Jeff in front of the basement door. "Should I talk to him?"

"If you don't you may regret it." He opened the door and the two of us traveled downstairs. "Jeff?" Matt asked into the darkness. "Yes." He said turning on the light. "I just wanted to talk to you why is she here?" "Because I asked her to come with me."

"But why? Don't you trust me?" "No, I don't trust you and that’s a dumb question to ask."

"Jeff I'm sorry but I had to."

"Why?"

"If I didn't they would have killed you."

"Who is they?" Jeff asked. "The Harvengers, they want to destroy The Brood."

"Why do they want to do that?"

"Because The Brood is more powerful." Matt said. "Why did you help?"

"If I didn't they would have killed you and Luna."

"Why didn't you tell Gangrel?"

"He would never believe me." Matt said. "Maybe he will now, Seaira you'll back us up?"

"If he's telling the truth." I said. "You can read thoughts can't you?" Jeff asked. "Yes, but he can manipulate them." I said. "Then how do we know he's telling the truth?" "A truth spell, I'll go looking for one." I said turning to go upstairs. "Thanks Seaira." Jeff said. "Your welcome." I said running up. I went into the library and started my search. After about an hour I found one. I went back downstairs and looked at Matt and I whisper under my breath:

By the power of three times three,
Make them tell me
By the power of three times three
So mote it be

I chant this three times. Then I asked "Why did you do all this?" "The Harvengers made me do it." "Why?" I asked. "I already told you this, they want to get rid of The Brood. If I didn't help they would have killed Jeff and Luna."

"He's telling the truth." I said. "We should tell Gangrel." Jeff said. "Ok lets go." I said. We went the stairs to be greeted by a pouting Edge. "You left me."

"I know I'm sorry. I was going to wake you but you looked to peaceful."

"Ok." He said. "I love you."

"I love you too. Why were you down there?"

"Come with us and we'll explain." I said taking his hand. "Gangrel?" Jeff yelled into the dinning room. "Yes, what is it?" He asked. "We have something to tell you about Matt." I said. We told him what Matt said. "The Harvengers, that figures." Gangerl said. "What are we going to do?" Edge asked. "I don't know. I don't even know what they look like."

"Matt might?" I said. "Lets go talk to our good friend Matt, Seaira. Edge you and Jeff go tell Lita and Luna what is going on." Gangrel and I went downstairs. "Matt what do the Harvengers look like?" Gangrel asked. "Your looking at 3 of them."

"Are these the leaders?" I asked. "No, but their leaders will be looking for them." Matt said. "What are there names? What do they look like?" Gangrel said. "Mark and Glenn are their names. What they look like is something I was a loud to see." "Where are they located?" I asked. "Chicago is their main place." Matt said. "Are these guys high up in the chain of thing there?" Gangrel asked. "Yes, there is only five of them."

"So just the leaders aren't here." Gangrel said more to himself then to us. "Seaira please help me get out of here. I want to help you guys."

"I don't think I can help you. You have to convince everyone else here who you betrayed. Gangrel I'm going to go talk to Mangas and then find a protection spell for the whole house."

"Can you bind the leaders." Matt said. "Yes, good idea." I said. I went upstairs and called Edge and Luna in to look for the spell I needed. I then did the binding spell again, similar to the one I did to the others. Except this time I placed there names in the jar. Next I called Mangas. "Hey Mangas you won't believe what is happening here." "Now what?" He said. I told him what the latest development was. "This just gets better and..."

"Better."

"Yeah. Now what are you going to do?"

"A protection spell." "For the house or the people in it?"

"Both." I said. "Good idea." He said. "Seaira tell Gangrel to make up a room for me."

"Your coming in?" "Yes, your going to need me."

"Why do you say that?" I asked. "Mark and Glenn will keep on undoing the binding spell and any spell you put on them." "Then by all mean get your ass out here." "I will. I'm going to call the airport, get a flight and call you with the time." "Ok." "Oh and Seaira put a block on Matt and the Harvengers you have." "Ok."

"Bye.

"Bye. I said hanging up the phone to help find the spell. After about a half an hour Edge said "Found one." "Let me see." I looked it over and said "I need milky quartz or moonstone and white candles."

"I'll go ask Gangrel where the crystals are." Edge said. "Oh and tell him that Mangas is coming out."

"Ok." Edge said. "Luna go get me Jeff and Lita."

"Ok." I went into the altar room and got out the candles. "You wanted us?" Jeff said. "Jeff I want you to get Erica and bring her here just encase. Lita I want you to make up a room for Mangas. Luna go stay downstairs with Gangrel and tell Edge to go with Jeff."

"Do you think it's a good idea to bring Erica here?" Jeff said. "If we don't the Harvengers might get her." I said. "Ok." Jeff said. They all left the room and Edge came in with both kinds of crystals. "Edge your going with Jeff to get Erica." "Ok." "Edge?"

"Yes?"

"Before you go," I said and pulled him into a kiss. "Love you." he said pulling away. "Love you too." I said letting him go. I set up the altar and began the mediation. In it I saw my family, friends, my home, my lover, and myself safe from all harm. Around us there was a white light, this light protected us from all harm. Then I began the chant:

I am protected by your might
O gracious Goddess, day and night.
Thrice around the circle's bound.
Evil sink into the ground.

Protection here both night and day.
And the one who should ruin it
Let him burn and twitch.
I now invoke the law of three:
This is my will, so mote it be!

Lunar Light, protect me!
Great Goddess of the Lunar Light
And Mistress of the Seas;
Great Goddess of the Mystic night
And of the Mysteries;
Within this place of candles bright
Protect me with your awesome night
Whilte ill vibrations fly!"

Protection here both night and day.
And the one who should ruin it
Let him burn and twitch.
I now invoke the law of three:
This is my will, so mote it be!

When the chant was done I put everything back and went downstairs to see what was going on there. "Look Gangrel I just don't know." Matt said, "Gangrel stop it he doesn't know." Luna said. "Seaira make him tell the truth." Gangrel ordered. I said the truth spell over. "I still don't know Gangrel." Matt said. "Now lets go upstairs you need to feed." Luna said to Gangrel. We they went upstairs and I put them to sleep. Then I ran up to ask them if the Mangas called. I went up to Lita's room, of course Christian was there. "Hey did Mangas call?" I asked. "Yes, he'll be here tomorrow morning." Christian said. "Are the others back yet?" I asked. "Nope but they called and thery're on their way." Lita said. "Ok I'll go make a room up for Erica." I said. I went to the room before Jeff's and made it up for Erica. As I did so Gangrel came in "You told them to bring her back here?"

"Yes, it's better that she is here then out there. If the Harvengers got her then she would be an advantage on us."

"Alright, but that means she becomes one of us."

"Isn't that up to her and Jeff."

"Yes and I know Jeff wants to make her a vampire. I'm going to tell him he needs to tell her. If she won't become a vampire your going to brainwash her to forget about it. We'll knock her out and when this is all over we'll bring her home. You'll making her think she was sick or something."

"Fine with me." I said. "There back." Lita said popping her head into the door. I ran down to greet my friend. "Erica!"

"Seaira!" We embraced. "Come one let me show you your room." I said. "Wait am I by you and Jeff?" Erica asked. "Yes."

"Ok that’s all I need to know." I showed her to her room and the guys carried her bags up behind us. "You know Erica I'm forgetting to do something." I said looking from her to Edge. "What?" Erica asked. "I don't know. It was big and male." "Wait you didn't say hi to Jeff." "Oh yeah! Thanks Erica." I walked over to Jeff and said "Hi Jeff." Laughing he said "Hello Seaira."

"Wait I'm still feeling that I am forgetting something."

"Did you say hi to that other big blonde guy?" Erica asked. "Oh your right I better go say hi to...Christian." "Ok that’s it your mine." Edge said pulling me into a kiss. "We'll be back later," he looked down at me and said "much later." A few hours later we emerged from my room it was 7 o'clock in the morning now. "Do we have any blood in the house?" I asked. "Yeah in the refrigerator. You didn't go feeding to night?"

"No, I forgot, as stupid as it sounds." "My poor baby." He said pulling me into his arms and nuzzling my neck. "Do you want some?" He asked referring to his blood. "I'd love some." I licked his pulse and then bit down. I drink just a little of him and stopped. "Why'd you stop?"

"Because you should not have to share your dinner." I said going towards the door. "But what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine." He said pulling me beck into his arms. "If you out it that way..." I bit him again and drank a little more in. "Ok now I'm getting both of us some blood from downstairs."

"Not if I can help!" He said pulling me back to him and picking me up. "What are you doing?" I asked."

"Putting you on the bed and then getting us some blood."

"No, I'll do it."

"I don't think your in much of a position to argue."

"Watch me."

"No, shhh you've done enough today."

"No, I haven't put me down."

"Nope you stay or else I break out the handcuffs."

"Haven't we've done enough of that tonight?"

"Maybe...Now stay put."

"And if I don't?" He laughed and brushed his fangs across my neck. "I love you." He whispered in my ear. "I love you too."

"If you love you'll stay out." He said. "If you loved me you'd let me do it."

"No since I love you I don't want you to move."

"No..." "Let me win one please?" He said. "Oh ok." He brought me up my dinner/breakfast and then I went into the shower. After I was cleaned up I went downstairs and started breakfast. Edge came down a few moments later and helped me. At 8 everyone was getting up to the smell of apple cinnamon pancakes. As soon as we were finished Mangas walked in. "Hey Mangas." I said. "Christian and Jeff take is bags up." Gangrel said. "No, that won't be needed I can do it."

"Nonsense I want you to see what we have in the basement."

"All right." Mangas said letting Gangrel lead the way. There was a loud thud as the basement door closed. "Mangas! Gangrel!" I yelled. Edge and I ran to the door and down the stairs. "Gangrel! Mangas!" Edge yelled. I hit the lights and saw Gangrel lying on the floor at the foot of steps. "Gangrel?"

"Seaira!" Mangas said. I turned just in time to get a two by four over the head. "Seaira!" Edge yelled rushing at Mangas. When I woke up I was next to Matt and Edge. Luna was on Edge's other side. Across from us was Jeff, Gangrel, Lita and Christian. "What the hell?" I said. "She's a wake." the blonde said. "Yes, that she is." Mangas said with the bottles I used to bind the Harvengers with. "What's to keep her from doing magic on us?" a brunet asked. "If she tries we kill one of her friends." Mangas said. "Seaira?" Edge called disoriented. "I'm right here." I said. "I wonder what would happen if we broke these bottles. Shall we see?" Mangas said throwing them. They hit the wall, but they didn't break. "They won't break." I said. "Why the hell not?" The blonde said. "Because they won't break till the binded people learn just to do good." "You bitch!" The blonde said. "I say we just kill them." the brunet said. "Can't do that either." I said. "And why no?" Mangas asked. "Because the protection spell won't let you." I said. "You bitch!" Mangas said slapping me. "Mangas why are doing this?" Lita asked. "Why? Good question! Because I can." "You asshole." Christian said. "Why did you bother helping me?" I asked. "For a challenge. I thought you'd figure me out, but sadly you disappoint me." He said in mock sadness. "Oh well." He said cheering back up. "Hey Mangas lets go upstairs we're hungry." The blonde said. "Sure, have fun kiddies." Mangas said going up after the others. "Wait we have to give then the screaming lecher." The brunet said. "Yes, it's only fair since they gave it to us." the blonde said. "Ok." Mangas said. "Now retarts you can scream all you want cause we won't hear you. The walls are sound proof." the blonde said. "Die." I said. "Maybe later, come on boys." The blonde said going up. "Ok the good news can come any time now." Christian said. "Seaira can you think of anything?" Lita said. "Not really." I said. "I can't break these chains." Edge said. "I know I've been trying for a while now." Gangrel said. "Can you still do magic?" Luna asked. "I can try." I said. "Make the knife on the wall move." Luna said. I looked at it and made it stop in front of her. "Good she can still do magic." "Get in their head and make them do what you say." Matt said. "They need to be here for me to do that." I said. "Ok then we'll wait for them to come down here again." Christian said. We waited and waited, just when I thought they left us to starve to death or something they came down. "How are we doing kiddies?" Mangas said. "Fine no thanks to you asshole." Edge said. "Oh I'm hurt." Mangas said. I looked over at the blonde and went inside his head. "You want to kill Mangas and help The Brood. When Seaira says 'Go to hell' to Mangas you will take the sword off the wall and cut Mangas' head off." Then I looked at the brunet and I went into his thoughts "You want to get rid on Mangas and help out The Brood. When Seaira tells Mangas to 'Go to hell!' and your friend cuts his head off you will get the keys to get them out of the chains." I went to each member of the group, except Mangas, and told them what to do. "Now what do we do with all of you hmmm?" Mangas said. "I say we torture you." "You can't do that because the protection spell won't allow it." "Pity then we'll just have to leave you here to rot and seal this place up." "Go to hell!" I yelled at him." Once that was said the blonde took the sword off the wall and cut Mangas' head off. The brunet got the keys and undid the chains. I pulled Mangas' head far away from his body to make sure it did not become one again. "We have to burn him." Gangrel said. "Fine with me." I said. "Lets get the traitor upstairs." Edge said. "Ok what about them?" Jeff said. I looked at the four of them and said "You don't ever want to be associated with the word Harvengers again, so you will go and disappear for a while and never come back here again." The four marched upstairs and out the door. "She's good." Matt said. "Now lets have us a Mangas barbecue." Gangrel said. The guys lifted him up and took him into the back. Lita got a barrel of gasoline. Luna and I got plenty of wood and piled it up in the back. The put Mangas on top of it and Lita dumped the barrel on him. "Matches?" Gangrel said. "I'll get them." Jeff said running back inside. "Seaira where's his head?" Matt asked. "In a trunk in the basement." I answered. "Go get it, trunk and all." Luna said. "Ok." I said going back in. "Seaira wait I'll go with you." Edge said following me. We ran into the basement and took the trunk. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said as we lifted it. We ran it back outside and but it next to the body. "Matches?" Gangrel said as Luna wrapped a piece of cloth around a piece of wood. "Matches." Jeff said. "Thank you." Gangrel said. "Torch." "Here." Luna said handing him the wood and starting another. He lit it and handed it to Edge "Pass it down." Edge whispered to me. We passed around the torches till everyone had one and then we tossed into the wood. "Ashes to Ashes." Gangrel said. "Dust to dust." Luna said. "I never really like him much." Matt said. We all laughed and filed inside. "What?" He asked following us.
