            I waited patiently in the confines of the dark cave listening to the dripping of endless water and gazing out to the beautiful night sky which twinkled with thousands of glittering stars. The fresh taste of blood still clung to my happy taste buds from my previous hunt, the adrenaline still pumping through my heart and veins. I could feel Crystals excitement through the maker and turned bond that we had. She was excited about being on her own for a change. She was excited about the hunt that she was on... And she was excited about the blood too. Maybe turning her wasn't such a bad thing after all- I thought. Yeah she'd hated it at first not knowing how to be what she was and not being able to believe it but then when she finally came round she was brilliant. She learnt quick which meant everything I taught her had stayed in her head and she'd acted on it. I also enjoyed the company. After being alone for a hundred years you miss the simple things of company such as somebody to talk to or just simply someone to smile at you when your feeling down so they cheer you up. I was glad Crystal was here. And even though I knew I'd only known her for two weeks I felt like I could trust her and that she was a great friend to have.

            Hours passed since Crystal had gone out on her search for blood, making me feel nervous and worried for her inside. She should have been back by now surely. Trying to sense her my mind drifted to hers, allowing myself to see what she was seeing, feel what she was feeing. But my mind turned up blank. I couldn't sense Crystal.

            Panic filled me as I tried desperately to sense Crystal. Why couldn't I sense her? Was she dead? No she couldn't be. Unless Brandon had got to her. I shook the thought out of my head. I didn't want to think of him. I hated him so much he made my blood boil, and if he had hurt my progeny then he was going to pay for ending her life by paying with his own.

            I wanted to go out and find her, to search for her. But it would be impossible. If I couldn't sense her then I couldn't find her. Pacing back and forth in the cave I sifted through my panicked thoughts. Anger boiled up within me as I thought of Brandon hurting Crystal. My mind racing with endless thoughts. Something snapping within me I started to storm towards the cave entrance.

            However I stopped when Crystal finally walked through the huge cave entrance. She looked stunned to see me and I could see her hands shaking slightly, her gaze lingering on the floor and not looking directly at me. "Crystal" I said, relief flooding through my voice as I enveloped her into a big hug. Crystals body was tense however recovering from the shock her muscles relaxed and she hugged me back, resting her head on my shoulder. "I was so worried." I told her.

            Crystal chuckled "You sound like my mom." She said in a quiet voice, which I could only just hear, before letting out a small sob.

            "Hey." I said, my voice concerned and caring, as I separated from her to look at her sweet grieved face. "What's wrong."

            Crystal shrugged, dropping her gaze to the floor once again, shoving her hands in her pockets. "Nothing." She said quietly.
