Rivera was running. But why? I never run from my enemy...why am I running? She didn't understand. There was a feirce burning in the back of her thoat, and she knew what it meant. She needed blood. All around her, people started to crop up, chanting Drink, drink, drink! She threw a terrified glance at all the people. No! I won't drink from a human, I'm not a vampire! I'm not a vampire! She ran faster, only to realize that she was now falling. Bu she didn't hit the ground, she landed silently on both feet. A man appeared, laying on the ground, with somone standing over him, the person's back was to Rivera. Her throat clenched when she recognized the man on the ground. Julius! The person standing turned, it was a woman. More importantly, it was herself. But with blood-red eyes, and a smal line of blood running from the corner of her mouth. Rivera roze where she stood, her dream-self smiling crueling at her, death in her eyes. Rivera began to shake, saying No...I wouldn't do this...I won't, I can't. NO!

"No!" Rivera jolted awake, both not recognizing her surroundings and instanly getting a pounding headache. Her vision had a red-edged tint to it. She needed blood. She was aware of a subtle heart beat in the apartment with her, one that was not hers. Julius... Se thought, and slowly she recognized his apartment. With effort, becuase every movement caused agaony to tear through her body, she checked her watch. 4:30 pm. She had missed her blood transfusion. "Great...now what do I do?" She muttered to herself, trying desperately to ignore the steady heartbeat and pulsing of blood she could not only hear, but feel as well, that was coming from her partner. As much as she hated to admit it, it was tempting her, as a vampire. Stop it. You're not a vampire! You're a Templar! She held her head in her hands, not knowing what to do. Without blood, she'd die. Maybe that would just be easier for everyone, if I just died... She thought, or at least, she thought that she thought it, when in reality, she'd said it out loud.
