They…killed you?" Needy asked suddenly sick.

"I'm here aren't I?" Jennifer replied a little annoyed with Needy because it brought up other questions. "I mean, yeah. They went Benihana on my ass. It should have killed me, but for some reason it didn't."

"Maybe it…did."

"Whatever, anyway I don't really remember what happened after that. I just—woke up a few hours later and found my way back, somehow."

"I remember, you came here."

"I was so hungry Needy, so hungry but I couldn't hurt you so I took off. I could never hurt you. I found something else to eat."

"What was it?"

"More like who was it." Jennifer replied sheepishly.

"Oh my god."

"The first guy healed me; the second one filled me up made me stronger. Like I am right now…I'm like Immortal. Nothing can hurt me." Jennifer continued reaching over to Needy's nightstand crabbing cuticles stick stabbing her forearm with it creating bloody wound.

"Jennifer what are you doing?" Needy demanded shocked and appalled all at once.

"Showing you. This is like some X-Men shit or something, watch!"

Needy watched with wide eyes as the second Jennifer pulled the stick out the wound healed. A random thought occurred to Needy who curious grabbed Jennifer's bloody forearm licking the small stream of blood up. Jennifer watched this surprised by the gesture and incredibly turned on by it all at the same time.

"You taste the same." Needy replied after a moment her eyebrows furrowed in deep thought.

"Thanks." Jennifer replied with a small grin that broke some of the tense in the room.

"You didn't look human earlier; you're slaughtering boys for what…food? Those asshole's in the band killed you didn't they but you came back…but as what?" Needy asked out loud.

"Something else." Jennifer replied honestly then added. "I like it Needy. I like it a lot."

"You didn't have a choice." Needy shot back tears fall from her eyes the reality of what Jennifer now was sinking in. Needy then asked, "Why didn't you eat someone from the band? Those douche's deserve it."

"I've only eaten three times since the fire."

"Three? When? Who?"

"Earlier, your friend Collin." Jennifer answered unable to look Needy in the eyes knowing full well how hurt Needy would be by it.

"Why! Why Collin! Jennifer! He's was my friend! A good guy! Why?" Needy shouted at Jennifer who cowered under Needy's anger.

"I don't know. It was more instinct and urge than anything else." Jennifer replied not wanting to tell Needy it was only because Needy had shown interest in Collin. "I needed to eat. You saw me Needy I wasn't doing well."
