      I jolt up from sleep, covered in a wolf skin blanket by a fire. My body aches and my eyes sting. I look down at my clothes, which were tarnished, and I sigh crawling out of the tent. Before me I saw the stunning guy from before and I gasp. The man spins around and looks me in the eyes. I felt my face turn red and I quickly pulled my gaze back and fell back in the tent. I pulled the blanket back up around me, shivering, as the man crawls into the tent with me, staring at me intently. I close my eyes, thinking of my home before, and tears stream down my cheeks. I feel him crawl over to me and hold me closely. His hand comes up, drying my tears, as he gently rocks me back and forth. He sings lightly, his voice like heaven; His warm breath passing over my skin as he sings. All is great for the moment and the tears stop. The man holds me for a while, rubbing my back softly, and still singing.

     He pulled away and looks into my eyes. "My name is Shriraku," his light voice filled my ears with a song no one being would know. I stare blankly into his eyes as he waits or my response.

     "My name is..." I stop and think. "You are one of the people who attacked my kingdom!?"

     " I assure you, I did no such thing," Shiraku spoke heavy.

     "How do I know you're not lying."

     Shiraku took the covers off of us and picked me up, taking me to a body hanging in the trees.

     "This person tried to kill you." I looked at him scared, and fell to the ground. Shiraku slowly came up to me, hugging me tightly. My eyes filled with tears and I pulled back, staring at him.

     " Do you believe me now?" I nod at him and start shivering. He held me closely, rubbing my back, and whispering to me. My eyes close and I feel my body getting limp. Shiraku takes out his dagger and cuts his wrist, letting blood flow from it. He quickly lays his wrist against my lips and I pull myself back into my body, drinking a large amount. My eyes turn crimson and my hair turns to silver. Shirakus wraps his free arms around me, satisfied at my reaction. I grip onto his wrist harder, digging my fangs into his wrist as he moans in pain, and pleasure. Lightly, he pulled me away and I growl at him deeply. Quickly, he took a flask out of his sack on his hip and held it to his wrist, letting it fill with blood.

     " I'll keep the flask for you so you may have blood later on, but you have to learn to control yourself."

     I glare at him and smile. "Yes. Or I could kill you right now and have all I need for a week." My voice comes out dark, almost demonic. Shiraku pinned me to the ground and I felt a shock go through my body. My hair turned back to normal, and my eyes change to purple. I was back to the same me. For now.
