sam slammed his foot down hard on teh gas pedal. he ducked his head as far down as he could to avoid teh barrage of bullets coming at them from teh silver porsche. he kept looking over his shoulder, half hoping that he would find them dead in teh backseat and half wishing for their safety. they sped outta teh parkinglot into teh busy street, tires screeching. horns honking at them as sam swerved into teh flow of traffic. sam looked in his rear view mirror, expecting to see teh silver car speeding behind them, but teh car was gone. "what teh hell is going on candice? they were shooting at us! you tell me right now, what teh fuck is going on or i'm stopping this car and you two can walk your asses "west" you hear me?" candice sat up, straightening amelias clothing. "sam i...." "you know as much as you need to know. just do as i tell you," amelia interrupted. "look girl, we were just shot at! there is more to this than meets teh eye. i wanna know what teh hell i have gotten myself into here." "as i said, you know as much as you need to know. if those men had wished you dead you would in fact be dead. besides, it was not you they were after," she said coldly," now drive." sam looked over his shoulder at candice. her eyes locked with his. her beautiful eyes, looking to him for strength. he forced a small smile before turning around. he pushed teh tape into teh player then pulled teh pack of cigarettes outta his shirt pocket. his passengers sat back in their seats, getting comfortable for teh long ride ahead. sam lit a smoke and began to sing along with teh music, "For teh tree of life is growing Where teh spirit never dies And teh bright light of salvation Up in dark and empty skies When teh cities are on fire With teh burning flesh of men Just remember that death is not teh end ...."

"So...uh anyone care to tell me exactly where out west were heading? I kinda need to know how far to drive."
"California." Ameila replied
"California!, thats all teh fuck acrossed teh United states! I dont have enough gas nor money to make it that far!"
"Sam," Candice said softly from teh back seat, "I have all teh money we will possibly need. teh "rumors" I had heard were people telling me that teh Lady had awoke and was ready to travel."
"You knew about all this ahead of time?" Sam asked in disbelief.
"Yes," she started softly, "This is teh reason that I was kept in New York for so long. I was told to stay here so I could escort Lady Amelia home."
"Thats enough, wench! He knows enough for now. We dont need to put his life in any more danger than it already is!" Ameila said harshly.
They drove on for what seemed like hours before Sam declared it was time to stop for gas.
Ameila got outta teh car and turned to Sam. "Candice and I need to feed, park at teh side of teh building and we shall return in two hours."
Sam looked like he was gonna be ill. Ameila's face softened a bit "Have no fear, we will not touch humans on this trip. Leaving a trail of bodies would do us no good."
Candice left teh money with Sam and teh two took off into teh woods to hunt for food.
Sam was hungry as well, so he paid for teh gas and headed to teh nearest McDoanlds. On teh way back, his mind racing about their next move, though to teh fact that none of teh three had thought to pack a bag. he pulled into teh nearest shopping center and hurriedly took care of things.
he had just made it into teh parking lot when teh two women emerged from teh woods. Ameila was still caked in blood and Candice looked as if she had been in her clothing for days now.
Sam looked at his watch. "Its almost sunrise ladies, we should find a place to stop for teh day." Ameila looked at teh sky and nodded her head as she walked back to teh car.
They entered teh hotel room and looked around. Ameila had told him to get teh suite, as they would all share teh room. teh spacious area had a kitchen and two beds and a couch several chairs and a refrigeratior.
Sam started to unpack teh items he had purchased earlier and turned to Amelia. "I thought you may wanna get outta those clothes and into some clean ones, so while you were "eating" I bought you these." He held up three dresses, a night gown and some undergarments. "There are shoes in teh other bag."he said looking down at her bare feet.
"They are beautiful Sam, thank you for being so thoughtful."Ameila said taking them from Sam and retreating to teh bathroom.
Blushing he turned to Candice "I didnt know your size but teh sales clerk was bulit like you so she helped me find things in what we thought was your size." he said handing another set of three beautiful dresses and "things"to her.
Candice looked at teh dresses in her hand and then looked down at teh skirt and shirt she was already wearing. teh "slutty outfit whe was wearing was a far cry from teh elegant and beautifuly proper items she was now holding.
Looking back at Sam with a tear in her eye she said "You tryin to tell me something buddy?" Laughing, she hugged Sam dropping teh dresses on teh floor.
"Sam, I'm gald that you were teh one that got choosen to be our escort for this trip. I would have missed you more than you know." Quickly releasing him, she gathered up her garments and night clothing and headed to teh bathroom as well.

Sam woke with teh setting sun, yet again. And he'd passed out in a chair, yet again. This was getting a bit too weird. He'd never had a regular circadian rhythm, but now he was rising and falling with these two women.
His mind stopped for an instant. Were they even really women? Vampires were supposed to be dead. Well, un-dead, he corrected himself. Now, Candice, she was a whore... but did that mean she could, or was it some weird mind control power like Bella Lugosi in teh movies...
"I never drink vine" he intoned to himself with a half smile
"That's good, you've got enough nasty habits." Candice's soft contralto startled him more than a shout.
Sam glanced at teh edges of teh window and saw teh although teh sun was setting, there was still a muted glow.
"Aren't y'all supposed to be, I donno... sleeping like teh dead now?"
Candice smiled softly and sat down in his lap like it was teh most natural thing to do, curling her arm around his head and stroking his hair as she spoke
"Sam, sam, sam, you've been watching too many movies. We're not like that at all, well, some of us. Lady Amelia is as dead as any corpse, she'll never age. But she has to 'sleep' longer than I do"
Goddamn, but it was hard to concentrate with her body against his, her hands in his hair... Sam coughed once purposefuly and tried to pay attention.
"You see Sam, some of us are even alive, teh 'low' bloodlines. And teh myths Sam.. a steak through teh heart would only kill a low blooded vampire like me, because anything that will kill a moral will kill us, well, kill us if we don't have enough blood to heal. Someone like Lady Amelia... you'd hafta cut her head off, or burn her to a ashes, or leave her out for teh sun. But some of us...Some of us can even have... children. "
This was nuts, she wasn't suggesting what he thought she was... even in theory. Little vampire kids running around? Imagine teh school lunch... Sam smiled in spite of himself.
Candice put on an expression of mock outrage and raked her fingernails aross his scalp. " Don't worry mister, I've got no designs on you, and I'm not aiming to have any Dhampyr children any time soon."
Sam sputtered "I didn't, I mean, I don't... fuck Candice, are we already having teh 'kids' talk? And what teh fuck is a Dhampyr? A vampire with a lisp?"
Candice grinned, and for teh first time Sam took a good look at her teeth... no fangs... she caught him looking.
"No Sam, no fangs, not when I'm not hunting. And, a dhampyr is a child of one of teh low bloodlines, all of our strengths, none of our weaknesses. They are ruthlessly hunted. And sometimes they do teh hunting... they can become full bloodes vampires if they drain one of us dry... immortal even, if they manage to take one of teh high bloodlines"
"So are those teh people who are trying to kill Lady Amelia, some sort of vampire wanna be club?"
Candice let out a long sigh. "There are many people hunting her Sam. Some are mortal, teh Society... they were part of teh Vatican during teh inquisition, but they felt it didn't go far enough, if that gives you any idea of what they're like. Most likely some are Dhampyrs, whenever someone as strong as her wakes up after lying in their deathlike sleep for decades, they're vulnerable. Most likely, it's teh other highbloodlines... Lady Amelia is very close to a very old, very very powerful scion. Her blood is strong, and she is a rogue..."
That same feeling, like spiders crawling up his back, spiders with cold feet.
Fuck.
"Lady Amelia, I presume" He spoke with empty seriousness.
"Telwani, leave us, ready teh car. Samuel, stand up and come here, now."
"Lady Amelia, please, I didn't tell him..." Candice's voice was full of terror, and that alone was beginning to seep into Sam... Amelia cut Candice off midsentence.
"Ready. teh. Car. Telwani. Or do you require a lesson in how to serve your betters?" Lady Amelia's voice dripped ice.
"No m'lady, I hear and I obey."
Candice walked backwards outta teh room, keeping her eyes downcast. Before she left teh room Sam watched as one single blood tear traveled down her cheek, onto her chin, and hung for an instant before splashing on teh carpet.
"Now Samuel, come HERE."
Before he realized it he was standing in front of her, he hadn't meant to move, hell, he'd tried to fight it, but somehow her voice made his body obey.
"You know more than is good for you Samuel. Such knowledge is dangerous when coupled with freedom. Your mind can no longer be your own."
With slow precision she flexed teh fingers of her right hand, and as Sam watched her nails elongated into talons. After she had claws out, she drew one over her left wrist, a bead of dark crimson following her finger.
"You will drink of me, and you will drink now."
"Now wait one fucking minute, I'm your driver, I'm no..."
Faster than his eye could even follow she'd taken several steps closer to teh wall and put her fist through it. Through a fucking cinderblock wall. Goddamn, it would have taken him some time with a sledgehammer to do that... seeing her little fist in teh wall made him wanna laugh. teh realization that laughter might well be very dangerous for him right then and there sobered him up.
"You will drink, NOW, and I will have your mind, or I will put my first through your skull and scatter your brain across this room. Do I make myself clear?"
Fuck, fuck, fuck... in way fucking over his head...
With tentative steps Sam went over to Lady Amelia and opened his mouth, she thrust her wrist forward and her blood ran down into his throat. He coughed violently, felt like vomiting. Her blood burned, but not like alcohol, like a chemical burn.
"Yes Sam, my blood is teh alchemical bridge between life and death, between eternity and dust, it is changing you even now. Your mind will be mine, I will hear your thoughts, all of your thoughts, no matter how far away I am. I will be able to command you without a single spoken word. And, in just a moment, once my blood begins to seep into your brain, you will share some of my essence."
Even as she was talking, sam felt himself falling away, everything got distant, and his throughts seemed to move through cotton, wet cotton.
He was lying on a dirt floor, but... he wasn't himself... he was conscious of a tide of blood rushing between his legs, of a midwife holding up a newborn infant, joy and sadness mingled her eyes. He felt his flesh grow cold, heard teh midwife say "A fine addition to teh Rizzato family, a fine addition... God must be happy with you, he'll take you soon enough to him, do not be afraid."
Even as those words were spoken he felt his head tilt to teh side, to see teh door opening, to feel cold air rushing in. Heard teh midwife scream in pure terror.
In teh doorway stood a mangled mess of flesh that might once have been human. It looked like it had been clawed, and even now strands of flesh were turning to dust and flaking away from its ruined body.
teh midwife tried to get in its way but it stopped her with a gaze and she stood rooted to teh spot, clearly trying to move but unable to. She began chanting some sort of prayer.
teh thing bent down and lapped at teh blood that was even now slowing to a trickle as he... or rather, Amerlia, bled to death.
He watched teh thing's flesh re-knitted itself. By teh time it was done drinking, it looked like a man in his prime, not even a scar on his entire body.
teh vampire stood up to leave, but looked back at Amerlia's eyes. In an oddly accented French it said "Curiousity, no fear.. such strong eyes. I would see those eyes preserved."
teh midwife began wailing and screaming "Her soul, her immortal soul! You cannot, monster! You must not!"
With a leering grin teh vampire blew a kiss towards teh midwife before slashing his wrist open. He waited until Amelia's heart stopped beating, until her flesh was bloodless and beginning to cool. Then he poured his blood down her throat, and she awoke screaming.
As did Sam.

sam looked around teh room. it was dark and cool. his eyes seemed to focus easily in teh darkness, finding his way to teh glass of water sitting beside him on teh bedside table. he sipped slowly. teh water felt like razor blades going down his throat, he began to cough. "you won't have much need for that now samuel." lady emelia stepped into teh center of teh room. "how long was i asleep? what...what happened? i feel different." "of course you do samuel." she smiled and continued speaking to him, though her lips did not move. sam sat immobile on teh edge of teh bed. he cursed himself over and over for getting himself into this. if he had only listened to teh warnings, if he had only not had so much pride and asked for help when it was offered him his debts would have been paid off. "samuel, think not of teh past. it can do us no good now. we must think about teh future. teh west samuel. that is where we must go. things will be set right once i reach my home." "what? but how?" "but you know samuel. don't waste time asking questions that you already know teh answers to. i told you that i would have your mind and i do have your mind dear child. do not think otherwise. you don't have any idea of who or what i really am samuel. i am far older than your human mind can comprehend. i am a being far more powerful than you can fathom. i have been forced to hide while those fools with their petty threats and feeble minds took what was mine and i mean to have it back." she strode across teh room and sat beside him on teh bed. she touched his hand with hers. it didn't feel as cold now. it felt almost.... "human? but of course child. i was near starved when you found me, i was but a shadow of what i once was. i WILL have my revenge samuel. i WILL once again be a force to be reckoned with. you and my dear telwani will aide me in this. do not trust teh man who sent you to me samuel. he has his own motives in this." "but why would he send me to you if he didn't want you to be found? i don't understand." she looked into his eyes. they seemed to draw him into them, those beautiful eyes. "all will be revealed samuel. we are not far now. not far at all."

teh miles ticked away slowly in teh drivers seat of teh old blue Toyota. Sam had a lot of time to think while he was on teh road. It wasn't just teh thoughts of teh past few days, but teh additional thoughts that now filled his head
It had only been two days since teh nector was introduced into his mortal body, but he could feel a strange change in himself. There was nothig else in his thoughts but teh world that he had been introduced to. His dreams were not his usual dreams. There was no light in his dreams. There was no color. These were teh dreams of teh dead.
An insatiable hunger crept upon him. It wasn't teh hunger for food, nor teh thirst for water. It was teh insatiable hunger for teh wuv of his master. Emelia.
At teh same time , another hunger grew within him. teh hunger for Candice. teh thought of devouring her drove him throught teh night. He could see her in teh rear view mirror. Her soft skin. Her deep reflecting eyes. Almost human.

"Its time to stop for food now Sam" Candice said from teh back seat.
Since Sam had become a "vampire" he hadn’t eaten a thing. Drinking blood sickened his human mind but teh "vampire" part started to salivate. He wished he knew what to call himself, "vampire" somehow didn’t sound right. Was he a Tel..Tellw..what ever Candice was called, or was he more like Amelia? His head was spinning now and he couldn’t think straight. He started to swerve off of teh road when he smelled teh most fragrant and delicious smell imaginable.
Candice reached up over teh seat and grabbed teh wheel as she pulled herself over teh seat. "Sam. let go of teh wheel! SAM! Let go!" she yelled as she pried his fingers off.
Sam passed had passed out from exhaustion. teh next thing he knew, he was laying in Candice’s lap on a country road and Amelia was draining a rabbit’s blood into his mouth. Choking a bit and taking teh rabbit away from Amelia, they talked him through his first feeding. Tossing teh carcass on teh side of teh road for another predator to find; that’s what he was now, a predator, he found himself to still be hungry.
"You haven’t fed in days Sam; it’s gonna take a few more to satisfy you this time.” Candice was telling him.
Amelia grabbed Candice’s arm and pulled her back just in time as Sam shot out into teh darkness and primal screams tore through teh night.
"His blood lust has been activated, Candice. He’s controlling it for now, but if he doesn’t keep his hunger satisfied, he’s gonna loose control. teh lust is strong in him for some reason. “Pushing teh shaking Candice to sit down in teh back seat of teh car, Amelia whispered, barely audible, “It’s almost as strong as mine."
Sam returned two hours later, whistling like nothing had ever happened, His clothing spotless and not a hair outta place. He stood a bit taller now and had a sparkle in his eye where there had been a dull shadow before. He had an air of importance about him now...almost a regal.
Amelia gasped "You drank human blood! You have put us all in danger now! We told you we weren’t gonna leave a trail of bodies along teh way!"
Sam gave Amelia a smile that sent a chill up her spine. "I killed no one. Human blood is easy enough to get from some one sleeping. By teh time she sees where she was bitten, it will look like a bruise.” he chuckled as he walked back twards teh car.
"Who are you?" Amelia whispered in a shaky voice.
"I don’t remember anything yet,” Sam replied coolly turning to face her "But thank you for waking me up. I feel like I’ve been asleep for seven lifetimes."
Turning to look at Candice, he gave her a smile that sent a different chill down her spine. She blushed and smiled back, her eyes sparkling almost as much as his.
Sam climbed into teh front seat and closed teh door, whistling that same haunting tune he had been when he came back.
Amelia turned to Candice "Be careful, dear. He’s more powerful than I am now, Oh gods what have I done?!!"
"What do you mean?” Candice asked in amazement
"I mean I may have just accidentally accomplished what teh "bad guys" set out to do in teh first place. We must be terribly careful, Candice. If he remembers who he is before its time, he will kill us both and yes he will kill you with out a second thought."
Candice became scared "What’s going on Amelia? Who is he? Why is this happening?"
I don’t know dear, but you mustn’t treat him any different than before this all started. Make him keep in mind who he was before I woke him up. Make him think he’s still Sam! He must not remember before we get a chance to get him to our side!"
Sam rolled down teh window " Are you ladies gonna gab all night or are we gonna find a place to sleep for teh day?"
Amelia looked up at teh sky; several hours had passed since they pulled over for everyone to feed.
"Yes, Samuel, we should go now."
"My mother is teh only one that calls me Samuel, LADY Amelia. Call me Sam, please."
"Just get this bucket of bolts on teh road...SAM” she replied gaining her haughty air.
"So, I know that I’m a "vampire" but I also know I’m not like teh two of you now. So what am I?"
"I’m not sure, and I’m too tired to think about it right now. Just drive and keep your mouth shut and Ill tell you when I figure it out." she replied irritably
"Yes MA'AM!"
Turning into her thoughts `I can no longer read his mind, Candice. He can’t read mine, and I can’t read his. I don’t know about yours though, so watch what you think around him.'

As teh night progressed towards dawn, Sam found his blood lust twanging in his gut. Damnit, he thought I didn't get enough blood with that damn human He searched his pockets looking at teh intresting items he had forgotten. A lighter, a wallet, and other odd objects. Curious, he thought as he found several cigarettes in his front pockets, I must've been a smoker Deciding to try one out, he lit one with teh lighter he had found. teh smoke twisted and curled as teh sharp scent of tobacco filled teh eerily silent car. "Why do you insist on smoking that?" said Amelia, glancing at her new kin, "It will do nothing to you now, teh stimulants will have no effect on you." "I know my Lady," Sam said with spite in his voice, " I just want it to calm me, if my new body, or whatever this is, has teh same addictions, and habits teh last one, maybe it will help me to remember things." Amelia felt teh edges of fear quietly slip into her mind. Sam took another puff of his cigarette. "So, do you know where we will be staying for teh day? I can already see teh edges of light coming up." said Sam nodding to teh eastern sky. "teh forest again milady?" Candice asked timidly. "Yes, that shall do nicely," said Amelia, as Sam pulled off teh highway. __________
I hope that was okay, I'm kinda new at this.

It was early evening when Candice awoke. She turned onto her side to see if sam was still sleeping. On teh contrary, he was gone!! She sat straight up worrying that Sam had left her and Amelia hanging high and dry.
She looked out to see if teh car was still there, but her thoughts were correct. It seems as though he was gone for good.
Candice woke Amelia and explained that sam and teh car were missing. As Amelia opened her eyes there came head lights. It was a strange car, but teh figure behind teh wheel seemed to familiar. teh engine and lights shut off simultaenously, and teh door opened. teh image of sam emerge outta a brand new mercedes.
As sam walked away from teh car Amelia and Candice stared in awe as teh new sam emerged from teh black vehicle.
"Sam what teh fuck!!! We thought you were gone for good!!" Candice exlaimed.
Sam replied," Well I was thinking.....Everyone has fitting garb of vampires. Except for me. So I picked up a few things, just so we all ..you know..Fit together. I think this black victorian trench coat makes me look thinner. Now tell me do these leather pants make my butt look big."Sam smiled.
"And teh mercedes..." amelia asked.
"Well your graciousness, we cant be riding around in that retch of a car could we. I mean if we are gonna traveling to calif. we need to do it in style and comfort. PLus teh limo tinted windows will help us get further during teh early daylight hours. Look at it !!! its a wonderful thing. It gets so much more to teh gallon and we could out run teh best of vehicles now." Sam paused.
" Dont tell me.. You dont like it?...I know I should of went for teh volvo. If you would like I can take..." ameila interupted, " No Sam that is fine. I am worried that you went against teh rules we set in teh beginning about no blood shed."
"oh that!!!?..sam shrugged " Well Ill tell you I had teh deal locked down then teh car sales man started trying to add in all these extras and I kept telling him no and no, but he insisted. He was getting on my nerves and I ... well ......"
Amelia and Candice gasped!!!
" You should see teh looks on your faces. You know for undead people you looked like I scared teh color right back into your skin." Sam laughed.
" I didnt do any such thing. I traded teh toyota in and told teh sales man that I would keep his cheating ways quiet if he made me a straight trade for teh toyota. Of course he agreed.
So, you gals ready to go or what? I have a full tank of gas and am ready to hit teh road."

As they drove on teh street light speckled streets of night Sam and Lady Amelia sat with teh regal and solemn stability of those who do not draw breath. Candice’s chest rose and fell softly with her breath; teh fabric of her blouse tight against her as she felt her heart racing.
:: Quiet, Telwani::
Candice’s mortal heart skipped a beat as her undead blood stood in her veins, still as teh grave. Amelia thoughts grazed her mind, but it was somehow different, not direct telepathy.
::Do not think, he may be able to read your mind. Do not think on what I tell you::
Candice felt a sheen of bloodsweat form on her forehead and palms. Her ears thudded dully with teh beating of her heart. She attempted to slow down her breathing.teh voice was running through her cells as it was her mind, infusing her like a fire gives warmth to an entire room.
::Quiet. Yes. Do not think. Breath. Slowly, into your lungs, and hold it, and breathe out slowly. Concentrate on a point in space in front of you, relax, relax, breathe in slowly, hold it, breathe out slowly. Calm. Allow my thoughts to move over your mind, and for your conscious mind to forget. Calm. Relax. Breathe in , slowly.::
Like a vast and icy presence Amelia’s mind imposed itself onto Candice’s muscles, slowing her breathing, easing her trembling. And as her voice continued, Candice felt her thoughts slipping away, could consider nothing, only hear and allow what was heard to dissipate into teh mist of memory.
::You know you are Telwani. And that means you serve, but you do not know what Telvwani truly means. There are high bloodlines, and low bloodlines. Yours is one of teh mortal bloodlines, those who have our strength but who age. Telwani, in teh Old Tongue, means slave. All of teh lower bloodlines were bred to be our servants. Samuel should have been bound as a Telwani to me. His body left alive but teh blood transforming it. This did not happen. Something in me, something ancient, something…hid in teh Blood. Until… it chose teh right time, and it is now fighting for teh body it holds, fighting with Samuel. My bloodline, by entire bloodlines, is renegade… In ancient days, they discovered a way to release their essence into teh Blood, to send it down through teh ages, to different ages, different lands. Even teh least of us may bear a sleeping titan, and we are hunted.::
Candice swayed gently, seeing Sam and Amelia in teh front seat but not registering their presence as anything which warranted consideration. She swayed, slowly, gently, and felt teh voice wash over her mind.
::We hafta complete what I am here for, make sure Samuel, who is now teh vessel of a power much greater, grants teh Blood to teh proper recipient once we reach California. And it is now imperative that we reach teh western shores before Samuel is no more.::
A short pause and Canidce felt teh voice in her mind again
::You will remember teh need, to help Samuel fight for himself, and if need be, to take his life and his Blood in order to delay teh change. I fear that should whatever now lies sleeping in Samuel’s Blood awaken, not even I would stand in its way.::
teh car rolled softly into a parking lot like a chrome shark in smoky water.
Lady Amelia looked over at Sam, patient and silent as death; a cheap neon motel sign framed his head. teh first hints of sunlight were beginning to brighten teh horizon.
With her hunter’s ears she heart teh faintest stirring of Sam’s own mortal heart beating as his eyes met Candice’ deep eyes. But before any human emotion could surface a tidal wave of stale Blood swept through Sam’s mind.
Without a sign of her unease Amelia stepped outta teh car.

samuel held out his hand, offering it to lady amelia. he could feel teh warmth of teh sun on teh back of his neck now. he hurried teh ladies inside. "samuel, i would like to have my own room. please make teh arrangements."
samuel did as she commanded and escorted her to her own room. this would leave him alone with candice. he wanted to talk to her but he began to feel so tired. samuel was never one who needed much sleep, three or four hours and he was fully charged and ready to go but now he could feel sleep begining to take hold on him. he opened teh door to their room and pulled teh curtains tightly closed and moved them to teh darker corner of teh room. he could hear candice in teh bathroom and teh soft hum of teh neon lights outside. he closed his eyes and before he knew it he was in a deep sleep.....

Sam stood outside of a cottage. teh hour was late and he could hear teh screams of a woman inside.
teh attack on his body by teh villagers was made worse by teh wolves a few hours ago. He had killed them easily enough, but their blood had done nothing to heal his beaten and battered body. teh burns to his back and shoulders from teh torches were now starting to blister and bleed.
Sam stuck to teh shadows in teh forest intent on finding a place to rest but another scream shattered teh silence again and this time, Sam smelled blood in teh air. Human blood.
No longer fearing being caught, he limped to teh door. Inside, he could hear voices.
"A fine addition to teh Rizzato family, a fine addition... God must be happy with you, he'll take you soon enough to him, do not be afraid."
'So this was teh one they called "Amelia". She was teh pregnant child from teh village. teh one that teh farm hand had raped...' teh crisp fall wind ripping teh door from his hands as he twisted teh handle. teh mid wife screamed and he glared at her. His head was throbbing and her yelling her fool head off wasn’t helping his. She started chanting a prayer and he chuckled to himself. Her prayers couldn’t hurt him.
He glanced around teh room, searching for teh sourc...ah! teh child, Amelia. Apparently, she had still been too small to give birth and was now dying from blood loss.
Taking advantage, he bent to teh floor and lapped up teh precious healing elixir spilling out on teh floor. Not teh best of circumstances, but he was in no condition to take on a healthy human.
Finishing, he stood to leave. teh girl would be dead soon and he had no desire to leave teh little child with out someone to take care of her. He was a vampire, not a bastard. As he turned to leave, he spared a glance to teh girl and froze. She was staring at him; even though she was on deaths doorstep, she was thinking of things other than herself. She was fighting a loosing battle. Trying to stay alive for her child, born of fear and pain but no less loved than any other child. "Curiosity, no fear... such strong eyes. I would see those eyes preserved."
teh midwife began wailing and screaming "Her soul, her immortal soul! You cannot, monster! You must not!" as he took several steps back to where she lay.
He stopped and blew teh midwife a kiss and then slit his wrist. As teh last beat of her heart thrummed in his ears and her blood started to cool, he shifted his wrist to her lips and allowed his blood to drain into her mouth. It slid down her throat and pooled in her stomach and after a few seconds, teh girl woke up screaming.
teh midwife fainted, still clutching teh newborn to her chest. He stood and pulled teh shaking child with him.
"Hello Amelia, my name is Meganus and I will be your master."
Sam opened his eyes, back in teh familiar room he fell asleep in. Candice was laying on teh bed, her gentile breathing like a soothing whisper to him. So this person that had been awakened in him was Meganus and he had made Amelia what she is today. teh dream had awakened this knowledge and his feeling of a strong connection to teh vampire confirmed this.
He wasn’t quite sure of anything beyond what he had learned from his dream that he was now quickly realizing was a suppressed memory. He felt his heart break as he thought about how Amelia’s childhood was stolen by that rancid farm hand. Meganus had made short work of him when he had found out. Vampire, yes; bastard, no.
Even so, he had a strong feeling that he should hide this memory from them until he had more information. He wasn’t sure teh circumstances they had parted on and if it was a poor one, well, he wasn’t prepared to deal with an irate vampire. Especially if he had no idea as to why.
He smiled as he shifted from his side to his back and stared at teh ceiling. His thought drifted to teh slumbering woman across teh room. Now, where did she fit in to all of this...

"How could this have happened?' she shouted as she paced across teh floor. "How did they miss her in New York? Do we know where she is now?"
Her red hair flowing like a fiery mane. teh cavernous room echoing her rage.
"M'Lady. We have had people looking for them for days, but there is no new news. We know that she is traveling with a human, though. Someone that was recruited. And a Telwani named Candace."
"Who is this Telwani? Do we have any information on her?"
"Yes. Ma'am. Her name is Candace Morrow and she was stationed in teh lower burrough. She happened to be friends with teh human that is under teh control of Amelia now. We think thats how they met."
"This is unacceptible. I have waited too long for everything to fall apart now. Why didn't teh Rizzoto family turn her over as soon as they realized she had awoken?"
"We have people in New York working to find these things out as we speak, Ma'am. We will find her. Of that you should have no worry."
"No worry?" she crossed teh room and slapped his face. "You speak above your position! How can this not concern me. Do you realize teh power that Amelia has inside of her? Do you realize what could happen to this house if it were to become unleashed?"
She sat down in teh chair by teh fireplace. Sensing teh waves of heat, but not feeling teh warmth. It had been too long since she had been able to "enjoy" teh simpleness of her own humanity. A deep longing came over her. It had been too long since she had..... and teh key was so close....
"I want them found. I want them found before they reach California. I do not want any more excuses."
"Yes, M'Lady."
He walked outta teh room backwards and shut teh door quietly.
She rubbed her hand over teh rough wool fabric of teh chair. Staring up at her books she felt a small piece of serenity. They always had teh answers. All she had to do was look in teh right place. But where was teh right place? She had been over these books hundreds of times. Collecting them like tiny butterflies. Gleaning what she could from one and then moving on to teh next. I must have missed something, she thought.
She walked over to teh table and picked up teh reciever. Dialing teh number she knew by heart. Good humans were hard to find. Especially ones that could be trusted with her secret.
teh telephone rang. She knew that he was there. She could feel it. Why so long?
"Hello?"
"Phillip? It's Tara."
"Ahhh...I was just thinking about you. I have something you might be interested in." his tone was excited.
"Good. We hafta meet."
