Elena woke up to a throbbing head and a dark room. With a soft groan she placed her hand on her head and squinted into the darkness. Trying to find some kind of light. Yet there was nothing. With her heart skipping beats she slowly stood to her feet. Using her free hand to explore the room. When she thought she heard rustling behind her she jumped and did a swift turn. She moved to fast thought and her toe stubbed across some type of hard wood. "Oww!!! Son of a.." She grabbed her toe and felt warm liquid rush from it. Although she couldn't see she knew that her toenail ripped off from the impact. Why the hell were her shoes off to begin with. Growing panic she crawled to what seemed like a wooden door. Placing her hand on the doorknob only to realize that it was locked. "What's going on?" She thought to herself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Max sat quietly on the edge of the chair. In the darkness. Watching as his new..."friend" laid in his bed. His head was tilted slightly as he tried to process everything that was going on. As he tried to think of what her reaction would be like when she would wake up. As much as he hoped that she would remain calm and not panic he knew she would. He also knew that his eyes would be a dark red from thirst. His throat burned even now as he started at her. Yet he refused to drink from her. He wanted to wait until she was awake. Surprising her would only make matters worse. He wanted her to be as comfortable as possible considering that she would be here for awhile.

Kat woke up in a strange room, but she didn't panic. The red headed girl simply sat up and groaned at the sudden pain shooting through her body, and her hand went up to straighten out her hair. The pain was probably from passing out in such an awkward position. With a rather loud yawn, she blinked a few times and allowed her eyes to adjust to the darkness. It was then that she saw another person in the room. Another groan escaped her, and she allowed herself to collapse back onto the bed. "I didn't sleep with you, did I?" It would really suck losing her virginity to some drunk guy. But since when did she drink? Slightly confused, she tried to brush it away. Last night must have been crazy, that was the only solution to all this.

Either way, she wasn't frigtened in the slightest. Waking up at random peoples houses wasn't an uncommon thing for her. Though usually Alex dragged her back to his place. Ah, Alex, her lovely pillow. Wonder where he is.

Katherine's eyelids gradually flickered open. She blinked a couple of times, trying to encourage the world to come into focus. Her head felt heavy and there was a dull ache resonating from somewhere deep within her brain. All her limbs felt like lead and her whole body felt as if she'd just run ten miles. Her mind was blurry, like her brain was full of cotton wool. Last night was... Vague. Burred. Distant.

Katherine sat bolt upright at this though. She couldn't remember what happened. Suddenly, she began to panic. Katherine avoided drinking for this very reason. She always watched her drink like a hawk in a bar to make sure no one could drop something into it. She did her very best to avoid any injury to her head what so ever. Her childhood was a blur, and ever since then she'd been determined to remember everything. She dug her hand into the pocket of her jacket, searching desperately for her journal where she recorded everything, just in case something like this were to happen. But it was gone. She reached into her other pocket for her camera. She would religiously take pictures whenever anything important happened, just to make sure she wouldn't forget it. She didn't want to lose a single moment. It was one of her greatest fears, and now she was sat here, empty headed, confused and scared.

"Hello?" Katherine said timidly. Her personality switching from frightened and angry to innocent and naive.

Looking around her, she seemed to be in some sort of large cage with thick metal bars. There was a door in the cage and she tried to push it open, but it was locked tightly with a huge padlock. The cage was positioned in the middle of what looked like a rather grand sitting room. The roof swept upwards with intricate designs carved into it. At the very top of the ceiling at the highest point Katherine could find with her eyes hung an expensive looking glass chandelier. Beneath the cage was a deep, rich, red carpet. She reached her hands through the bars of the cage to run her fingers over it. It felt thick and luxurious to touch. There were several large swede sofas, each in a different shade of pale mahogany with silk cushions strewn across them. To her left there was a large, wooden coffee table and beyond that, a grand, wooden door that appeared to be the only exit from the room.

Downtown was quiet nowadays. It used to be lively when the human are still countless in the world. With the population of humans now slowly dying, there was not much to see while standing on the the walkway beside a hotel building. Looking around to every corner for something interesting to rid of his boredom was Marx. His hands were in his jacket’s pockets for heat. Steam was produced when he breathed out air. The air was cold that night. He turned to the left and started walking back to his car. When he reached it, a key was taken out from the back pocket of his pants. After opening the door and getting in, he started the engine and drove away. It was a disappointing night.

After a short drive, Marx reached his destination, the mansion. When he was done parking his car in the garage, the young looking vampire got off the car and went through a door which took him to the hallway.

The hallway had little lights turned on for comfort. Vampires don’t really need lights as they can see in the dark but the lights managed to cheer up the place a little.

From the hallway, he climbed the stairs which took him to the corridor. Just like the hallway, the corridor too had little lights. Some pictures were hang on the walls but it wasn’t important.

He followed the long corridor, heading to his room for a short rest.

Along the way, he smelled the unmistakable odour of fresh blood. It didn’t bother him much but it made him curious. Marx was used to the smell of fresh blood for he has been living as a vampire for a really long time.

The other vampire probably took a human for feeding in the mansion Marx though and ignored the smell of blood

The smell got stronger as he got closer to his room, bringing back the feeling of curiosity.

Marx’s brows furrowed. Did they use my room this time? a question appeared on his mind, slightly worried.

When he reached the door of his room, he was sure that the smell of blood was coming from behind the door. Rustling sound could be heard coming from the inside before the locked door knob made a crackling sound as something tried to open it from the other side. Frowning, Marx quickly took out the key of the door from the pocket of his jacket and unlocked the door to open it. He was quite surprised to see a teenage girl with a bleeding toe standing on the other side of the door.

“What are you doing in my room?!” Marx roared

Max was lost in his own thoughts not really paying attention to the girl who had now awoken. He could hear Marx off in the distance. The roar echoing across the mansion. He gave a soft chuckle as he heard him speak. Marx must have been gone when the king came by delivering every vampire there source of life. Slowly max came back to when he heard a soft voice speaking to him. She had awaken? For a minute he didn't reply back to her question. He simply stared at her through the darkness. "No. We did not sleep together." He said in a husky voice. Her calmness catching him off guard. Slowly he stood up and walked over to the switch by the door. Flicking it on. A light bright enough for her to see came on and she was now able to catch the way he look. He glanced around the room. His room was a dark red a color he always seemed to admire. She was laying on his large round bed that was laid out in a velvet blanket. A Chandler hanging on the roof. Everyone said his room was on the romantic side though he just felt comfy in it. His gaze fell back towards the girl locking with her eyes. "You seem to be very calm for someone who just woke in an odd place?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elena didn't even have enough time to move her hand from the knob before someone came busting through the door. She let out a yelp and jumped backwards almost falling to the floor. The room was dark, but she could make out the tall boy who stood in front of her from the light outside the door. The look on his face showed what seemed like pure rage. "I...I don't know." She said in a shaky voice taking a few steps back. "I woke up in this room on the bed. I don't know how I got here. Please.." She glanced at the door and noticed her backpack sitting next to it. She glanced up at him and then back down to the floor. "I can see that you don't want me here so i'll do us both a favor and leave." She quickly brushed passed him and grabbed her back. She glanced down at herself and noticed that her blue jeans were covered in dirt and her purple shirt had been ripped. "What the hell happened to me?" She thought as she headed for the door.

It seems the teenage girl herself did not know how she came to be in the place. Confused and not knowing what to do with her, Marx let her pass through. The thought of who would put the girl in his room circled in the vampire’s head. Without wasting time, Marx quickly marched to the room beside his and barged in without caring to be polite.

For a while, Marx was silent. He was stunned to see another human teenage girl in the room. The human girl before had brown hair while this one had dyed red. He ignored her and turned his head to the side, noticing Max was in the corner near the light switch.

“Max!” Marx called while frowning “why is there a girl in my sleeping chamber?! Why is there a girl in yours?! What is all this?!”
