Introduction

Image

On a small island in Italy, five vampires rule alongside one another. In their past years they have managed to slaughter every remaining human on their Isle, not including the ones that managed to slip away. But now, they have changed. After five years of starving, they are starting over. Each one has traveled to the mainland and picked a human of their choice and are bringing them back to their Isle. The third oldest vampire is a man, if you could call him that, named Gale. His human, Kat, is the exact opposite of himself. Gale is cold, harsh, uncaring. Or is that only whom he pretends to be? As Gale and Kat open up to each other, they begin to discover these pesky little things called feelings.

Castle doors are locked at all times. There is no escaping, unless a vampire lets you out. Vampires do not sparkle or burn in the sunlight, but they are considerably weaker in it, only holding a bit more strength over a regular human. They can see fairly well in the dark, move faster and are stronger than humans, and have been alive since the 1600's.

"But I'm comfy here!" She complained, though latching onto him when he picked her up. Be careful, she's like a baby when she's sick. Anytime she got sick she was reminded of her brother saying that. At the time she was seven, and he had to go to school so his friend volunteered to watch "sick little Kat". And she really was a baby when she was sick, it was like she was back to being four years old. Her brothers friend had had a hell of a time taking care of her, especially since she didn't make it very easy for him. She was pulled back to the present by Gale's voice, and she had to suppress a laugh. "You were going to say healthy, weren't you? What if I'm not ever 'healthy'? I could die." Never would she regret this choice, but Gale had to get used to the idea of having a new blood bag.

Gale walked Kat up to the room. He pushed the door open with his side and laid Kat down on the bed. He pulled the covers over Kat and tucked her in, then proceeded to place a garbage pail on the side of her bed. "You're not going to die." Gale said, continuing the conversation from before. "You just need to rest." He went around the bed and laid down next to her. "You're going to be fine." Gale said, not actually knowing if she would be. "You'll be fine."

"You sound like you're trying to convince yourself of that." Kat said, giving a weary look to the garbage pail. Had she ever vomited in a garbage can? Don't think so. We'll hope that was the last time she's going to retch here. Especially because it was not attractive at all, and she really didn't want Gale seeing her. Worst case scenario she'd have to run to the bathroom again, the pain wasn't that terrible. Well, it was, but she really didn't want Gale seeing her. Tearing her eyes away from the pail, she turned over towards Gale and wrapped her arms around a pillow, closing her eyes in the process. "Hey Gale?"

Gale looked up when Kat said his name. She was hugging a pillow with her eyes closed. "Yeah?" He said responding to her. He looked over at the garbage pail. "Hey, I don't want you getting out of bed no more, if you collapse again you might get really hurt, then throw up all over the floor." He pulled the covers over himself more, hopefully the process would be done soon. He hoped, but it wasn't what was going to happen, it wasn't going to end easy.

"I love you." Her voice was soft, and she knew she was really just trying to make up for all the trouble she was causing him. "And I'm not throwing up anywhere you can see me." No matter how much pain she was in, no one would see her throwing up when she could be behind closed doors. It was just gross and embarrassing, especially since he was her..boyfriend. He shouldn't have to take care of her.

Gale looked at her softly, yet sincerely. "I love you too. But you need to throw up in here, and that's the end of it, whether you want to or not." Gale noted that he might have sounded too harsh. "I'll look away if that's the problem, but it's going to get a lot worse than this. I can promise you that." Gale smiled at her, he was prepared to do anything possible to keep her happy and alive. But what would they do after she was a vampire? The thought rung in his head. Kat, vampire. It didn't mix, it wasn't supposed to mix.

"You have to look away and put your fingers in your ears." The way she said it was like a demand, though Gale would probably just laugh at her. She wasn't that great at giving orders, or acting tough, or playing leader at all. After that there was a bit of a silence, and it wasn't one of those comfy silences. It was one of those someone-talk-this-is-too-awkward silences. "Gale..do you regret this?" She wouldn't blame him if he said yes. Maybe he was having second thoughts. Who really wanted to sign up for a life commitment with someone? Especially when that someone is immortal..or could die in the next forty eight hours.

Gale looked at Kat. "No, I do not regret this unless you do, it is not any time for regret." Gale said, giving her a stern look in the eye. Gale leaned over and kissed Kat, ignoring the fact her breath smelt like vomit. "I love you, and I always will. Now get some rest, before the pain grows and you can't rest anymore." Gale gave her a much softer look, trying to take away any fear from her. "I love you." He said again laying down, closing his eyes, not wanting to sleep at all.

She almost pulled away when Gale kissed her, but would have felt bad considering he was kissing her even with gross breath and she was the one pulling away. "I love you too, Gale." Unsure of how he would take to her curling up next to him, she rewrapped her arms around the pillow and laid her head on that. It made a good substitute, except for the fact that Gale wasn't so fluffy. "Thank you." Kat barely whispered, unable to say anything else. How did you tell someone you were thankful for..for them saving you? If she didn't..when she turned fully into a vampire, she would make it up to him. Someway.

Gale watched Kat for a few more minutes, then slowly got up from the bed. He walked around to Kat's side of the bed. "I'm going in the shower, I'll be back in 15 minutes or less." Gale said, kissing Kat on the forehead. "Stay here, I'm going to be pissed if I find out you were walking around." He said with a light smile. Gale watched her for a moment. "And try to get some sleep while I'm gone."

"Okie dokes." Kat yawned, eyes still shut as she held onto the pillow tighter. "Oh, and don't drown!" A soft laugh escaped her, but she got quiet quickly. Once he was gone she rolled over to his side of the bed and laid there instead, facing the opposite way. It became impossible to sleep, and even fifteen minutes she was still wide awake. When she was about to get up and go look for a book in the library, she suddenly remembered what Gale had said, and ended up climbing back in bed and pouting.

Gale got in the shower, and made sure to be quick. By the time he got out it had probably been 15 minutes. He wrapped a towel around his waist and walked back down to the room. He walked in and saw Kat lying down, facing the other way. He tried to be quiet but then noticed she wasn't sleeping. "Hey." He said walking over to his drawers. He pulled on boxers under his towel, then pulled on some shorts. He lied down behind Kat. "Not too long, right?" He asked. "Need anything?"

Upon hearing the door open, Kat sat up a bit and looked over. Of course she knew it was Gale, but for some reason she felt the need to check anyways. Probably just still freaked out by that other vampire, she thought. What had Gale done with the..body? She didn't even want to know at this point. It still haunted her dreams. Lying back down, she watched Gale as he dressed and then came to lie down behind her. "Not too long." She agreed, nodding weakly. "I can't sleep though."

Gale looked up at the ceiling. "You don't need to sleep, but when the transformation starts, you won't be able to sleep. It's like going into labor over a week's period of time." Gale said closing his eyes. "I really suggest you try going to sleep now, get rested." Gale hadn't remembered the last time he infected someone, or at least sticking around to watch them change. He knew it was painful though, and he knew what it would be like. He hadn't seen it first hand though.

"That's just great." Kat made a point of moving away from him, curling up at the opposite side of the bed. Why had she wanted to do this again? The idea of living forever was ridiculous, and the idea that Gale was actually going to stick around was even more insane. He only seemed to like her when it seemed convenient. Tightly closing her eyes, she tried to block the thoughts out of her head. She wasn't supposed to be thinking about all that now, she was just supposed to be trying to sleep. Though it was doubtful she could.

"Sorry." Gale said, deciding he shouldn't have said anything about the pain. She scooted away and Gale sighed. "Anything you want?" Gale said trying to lighten the mood. He turned his body away from her. He couldn't think of any other way to describe the pain in a better way. He could have said it felt like her soul and life would be sucked out of her, like exactly how she would think it felt. Like someone ripping the actual soul out of her body, along with her heart and other body parts. But that probably sounded worse. It was only going to be about a week, then it would be done. But it wouldn't, she would be a new blood, a out of control new blood. And when Gale was a new blood, he killed the people trying to confine him. He had killed his own parents.

Kat didn't reply, she was already asleep. In her dreams she was literally on fire, but her body wasn't being harmed. It was everything inside that was being fried, and it hurt worse than anything she had ever experienced. Was it going to be like this once the pain set in? When she was really..dying? Was she already dying? It was terrifying, she was eighteen, thoughts of death and the "afterlife" and eternity shouldn't be going through her head.

Five hours later she woke up, barely able to hold back a scream. Sitting up, Kat pulled her legs up and hugged them to her chest, rocking back and forth. "G-Gale..Gale-" She was shaking, as was her voice, and tears threatened to fall.

Gale had his eyes closed, he was conscious, but not exactly awake. The rustling of the bed was normal, but the way Kat said his name wasn't. He was immediately stirred out of any state of sleeping he might have been in and sat up. He looked her in the eyes carefully, tears had sprung up, but there was something behind them. Fear. So it begins. Gale put his hands on her shoulders, as if he was trying to stop her from shaking. He put his arms completely around her and placed her head on his shoulder. "What's wrong?" Gale said, trying to sound less worried as possible. "Bad dream?" He asked hopefully, already knowing it wouldn't be the case.

Kat shook her head, holding her knees to her chest so tightly that it hurt. But not as worse as everything else hurt. Everything else felt like it was burning. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ouch!" She cried, burying her face in his chest. "Gale-ow." Another sob racked her body, and she didn't care that she was crying in front of him, she just wanted the pain to go away. It had to go away. "M-make it stop!" Her hair was pretty much covering her face at this point and she probably had thoroughly soaked his chest. It was too much, all of this was too much. Was she dying? Not becoming a vampire dying but..actually dying?

Gale felt her tears on his body, and only then did it occur to him he still was shirtless. He rubbed her back with one hand. "It's okay." He said almost whispering, trying to calm her down. "What hurts?" He asked, but then he realized that might have been a bad question. "Only a few more days Kat, only a few more days." He recited. Hoping it only would be a few more days. She asked him to make the pain stop, but Gale couldn't. He couldn't do what she asked him to do, and it hurt Gale. He needed to, and she needed to, wait it out.

"Everything..I want it to stop.." As if she just now realized she was crying, she began to wipe at her eyes. "Y-you can't see me like this.." Weakly, she tried to push him away, but ended up holding onto him as another wave of pain came over her. It was almost ten minutes later when she finally let go. Wiping her eyes one last time, since she'd now stopped crying, she sniffled pathetically and looked up at Gale. Her eyes were still teary but she wasn't crying anymore, she didn't want to cry. The pain was so much, but it had died down enough for her to regain some composure. Though her shoulders still shook and she still had a strange feeling of being on fire.

When everything seemed to die down. Gale held her back a little, looking into her eyes. He had water running down his chest, but he didn't mind. He kept his hands on her shoulders, still shaking. He leaned over to kiss her, after a few seconds he pulled away. "I'm here, and I love you." He said, looking her in the eyes. "Is there anything you need?" He asked. "Anything that you want?"

"Don't leave again." She replied, a slightly pouty look on her face. Though it softened into more of a pleading look, big blue eyes looking up at him. "And I love you too." Tilting her head up to kiss him again, she was reminded of her..breath and pulled back, ducking her head. "Maybe I should..can I.." She shook her head. Trying again, she simply said, "Bathroom?" Right now she could use a shower, and to brush her teeth.

Gale looked at Kat, who looked slightly more healthy than before. It might be a good idea for her to shower and brush her teeth now, while she's not unconscious. "Alright, you can go, but be quick." He said lying back down. He thought maybe he should go with her, but he thought maybe it would be intrusive to ask. "If you want me to come and help you up there I will." He said looking over to her. Her tears had dried and dropped from his body.

She had just moved to the side of the bed and was about to get up when she heard what he had to say next. Should she ask him to come with her? It may be a good idea if what just happened..well happened again. Or anything worse. Trying to smile, and grabbed his hand and tugged. "I said you can't leave, so it wouldn't be fair if I did." Sticking her tongue out at him, she got off the bed and waited for him to get up too.
