Introduction
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.

"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?"

"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.

"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.

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.

"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.

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."

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.

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?

"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.

"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.

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.
