I took a shower and was thinking about my brothers.
They were trying to protect me from this happening in the first place.
Half of me wished i never came back here, half of me wished i would just let Jayce turn me.
After finishing my shower i wrapped myself in a towel and went to my room. I got dressed and put my hair into a bun, just as i finished, there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" i asked.
"Alyssa" her farmliar voice called back.
"Come in" i replied. The door opened and she came in, closeing it behind her and sat on my bed.
"Whats up?" i asked. She sighed and patted the bed next to her.
"I need to talk to you" she said.
"...Alright?" i asked and sat down next to her.
"Its about you getting turned" she said.
"Im not getting turned, i already told him" i said.
"Maxie, just listen to me. Im turned, still me." she said, showing me bite marks on her neck.
"Why? How could you not want to be a human anymore?" i asked.
"Well...at first i never wanted to be turned. I wanted to be human still, i hated Rick for taking it away from me" she started.
"Then why are you sideing with them?" i asked.
"Im not sideing with anybody. Im the nuetral figure here." she said.
"Didnt it hurt?" i asked, tipping my head.
"In books they say that they hurt" i said.
"Thats if you only wish to turn them. Rick turned me, but wished to...'marry me' in a way" Alyssa said.
"Thats the kinda bite they are going to use to turn you. It doesnt hurt...if anything, its 'pleasureable'." she said.
"What?" i asked
"...See, if a vampire wants a servant or slave turned, they dont bite with their mark. Rick Turned me with a mark. Showing any other creatures that i am his" she said.
"So its like a ring?" i asked.
"Yes. In a way. Um...yeah, is there anything else you wanna know?" she asked.
"how can you drink blood? i wont be able to" i said. "Well...You need it, but you may not like it. But thats perfectly alright, we eat normal foods too" she said.
"But, i just cant. I cant give up my humanity for being a vampire. I have my brothers...and my little sister. I have a life as a MORTAL" i said. Alyssa, sick of sitting on the bed, got up and walked around the room.
"I had a life as a mortal. Yeah, it was REAL fufilling" she said, sarcasm dripping from the last sentence she said. She noticed the pill on the dresser and picked it up.
"Dont touch it" i said, and went to take it from her.
"What is it?" she asked, she still held it between her fingers.
"A pill. Duh" i said, trying to get it.
"Maxie, your on drugs?!" she asked her eyes wide.
"...Oh yes. So much so, i cant remember anything" (ironic, dont you think?) i said, and reached for the pill.
"Oh!! its birth control" she said.
"...What?" i asked.
There was another knock at the door.
"Come in" i said and the door opened to Jayce.
"What do you want?" i asked.
"I need to talk to you, alone" he said, looking at Alyssa with the last word.
I looked at her silently saying "Dont leave me". She left and Jayce hugged me. Alright.
"Are you okay?" i asked, hugging back.
"Yeah, are you? im sorry for blowing up like that" he said.
"That's okay..." I said quietly.
"No it's not.." Jayce said.
"Jayce you've never had to be turned... you have no clue what I'm feeling." I said burrying my head in my hands.
"Maxie, I'm not as misunderstanding as you take me for." He said.
"Sure..." I said.
"Well I talked to my father and he agreed to let us have our own dinner tomorrow night; without all of the others." Jayce said.
"So what'd ya say??" He asked.
"Um... okay... sure sounds good." I said hesitantly.
"You're not gonna make me get lectured by Ty again are you??" I asked.
"No of course not." Jayce said.
"Well our dinner starts at 5:00 tomorrow." Jayce said.
"Um... Okay I guess." I said.
"Well goodnight Maxine." Jayce said giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Goodnight Jayce." I said.
He smiled and walked out the door.
Just as he left Alyssa walked back in.
"What was that all about??" Alyssa asked.
"Nothing... he just appologized." I said.
'I see... so did you forgive him??" She asked.
"Yupp... well it's not like I have a choice anyways because we are engaged." I said.
"True..." She said.
She walked back over to the dresser and picked up the pill again.
"You never finished telling me what this thingy was for." She said.
"Oh it's nothing..." I said.
"Well if it's nto birth control then what is it exactly??" Alyssa asked.
"It's nothing, okay!" I snapped.
"Fine gees... touchy now arn't we..." She said.
"I'm sorry... I'm just overwhelmed about things." I said.
"Yeah I guess that's true; but you know I am here to talk to right??" Alyssa asked.
"Now I do." I said.
She smiled.
"Well I am going to get to bed now." Alyssa said walked towards the door.
"Goodnight." Alyssa said.
"Goodnight." I answered her as she left the room and shut the door tight.
After she left I crawled into my warm bed and closed my eyes and fell asleep.
At about two in the morning I heard a knock at my door.
