I awoke with a raging headache. I tried to get up but it was useless. My head pounded too much I didn't want to move. I could feel a soft bed underneath me, which felt great. I slowly lay back down on the cool, soft pillow. I looked around me and saw the sunlight pouring inside the room that I was laying in. Where was I? What happened to me? There was so many questions that I want answered but for now I wanted to rest more.

It was awhile before I woke up again. The sun was still shining through the window but this time I could feel the presents of someone else in the room. My head stopped pounding so I slowly sat up again and looked around the room. I saw Giovanni sitting in a chair reading a book. He didn't notice me since it looked like he was deep into the book. I stayed silent for a minute but then I broke it.

"What happened to me?"

Giovanni looked at me and then set the book down.

"You got drawn to the scent of blood and you lost control and your Deamon showed itself. I smelt it too but I guess I wasn't quick enough to stop you..."

I looked at him and I just wanted to throw up. I couldn't believe that I had lost control. No, I can't believe that I drank the blood another human. I thought that I couldn't do it but I guess I could. Though my body does feel better. I don't have any sort of cravings for the blood anymore but that is also a bad thing. I could snap and attack again and I don't want to do that. I don't like hurting other people as I've said before. The feeling to get sick was awful. I actually got up and threw open a window and gagged but I just couldn't get sick. I heard the footsteps of Giovanni and then he put his hand on my and the feeling of warmth covered my body and I started to feel a lot better.

"It'll be okay Marcus. I know that this was your first time. But it's like they say; your first time is always the hardest. But after a while you'll get use to the feeling."

I stared at him for a minute but I didn't know what to even say to him. I couldn't nod nor accept that which what he said.

"I don't like hurting others Giovanni. I don't."

Right now I am on the verge of tears even though Giovanni was still touching me I could still feel the sense of sadness wash over me. I guess that if one has a strong feeling it could overcome Giovanni's power. I didn't let out a single tear but I wanted to let one slip but I didn't. I couldn't show a sign of weakness. I never have. Even when I was a child I never showed weakness. I would always just stay down for a bit and just get back up after a while then try again what ever my goal was. But this time, this time I had no goal.
