Out of the Shadow

3 : Turned to a vamp or not?

She collapsed and lost her consciousness when Keizia's perception about the family was confirmed. She has mixed emotions, a lot of wonderings.

"Did you prey on my mother too? Is she alive like me? Where is she? Can i talk to her? Im afraid she's not taking her meds, im worried about her. She's all alone now. I wish I could undo everything." She's bursting out. The hatred she felt on her mother has gone.

Francis was at her side. Trying to act so cool but deeply hurt, he cant handle his feelings to his mate, looking down and breaking down. No wonder she's a newly turned, full of emotions like human.

"We could see her, in a distance." He offered fiercely.

He had never been this concern and thoughtful, until he saw Keizia grieved from the lost of her father. But he's just protecting her, in ways that he only knew.

Keizia took a fast bath while Francis waited for her at the bed, he prepared silver clothes for her to be tested. Its fast of her to take a bath, she's really has this trait of vampire that doesnt want to get wet for so long.

Besides from holy water, they also hate ordinary waters sprayed on them or just being wet, it lessens their energy and they become more weaker especially when wet at daylight.

She put on the clothes he prepared, wrapped herself with black coat and jeans as well. And she's ready to check her mom out.

She's out of the way of being comfortable with Francis when they took the ride back to Auckland. She's thinking ridiculous. She dont know the story about how she was turned, but she has a feeling of being attached to him, a feeling she felt like melting when she's around him. She feels attracted and attached to him so darn tight. Then sudddenly think about why she was turned, but all she needs to know now is that if her mother, Klariss, doing all great. She fear her mother was losing weight, after knowing that they made her think she's dead when in fact she's alive. A month without someone cooking the meal. Keizia was her mothers personal cook before, her mother knows nothing about cooking, thats why when her father died and she locked herself in her room, her mother started to oder in fast food chains. Cared less about her but checking her a minute of everyday.

From Hastings they traveled 222 miles to reach Auckland.

"Be careful..." He claimed when they reached the corner of their house. Before he could finish his line, keizia took a step outside.

Keizia got her hair dyed in black from having it blonde. It stayed long, only that she has some baby hairs falling down with her bangs. She's coated with a gray but mostly black fitted sweater and tight jeans. Black boots and a cap to hide her face from the crowd.

"About what? I wont die in aucklands atmosphere." She said.

When she opened the door, the sunlight irritated her red eyes and she's starting to feel thirsty and dizzy. Few steps away from the black Ferrari 458 italia, the sun caused blood streams on her nose, ears and even on the sides of her eyes.

People passing her by were freaking out. She's slowly getting weaker and weaker. She leaned on a building, waiting for Francis thats slowly fading away in her capturing eyes. For some reason Francis didnt go out for a moment for the reason that there's someone demanding him not to go. A shadow beside Keizia. Vampires dont create shadows and cast any reflection to the mirror because they dont have souls.

Francis was bothered about the shadow beside Keizia, for a moment he waited to dilute it from his sight. Was she turned or not? Yet?

Ample time had passed, Keizia lost her consciousness and her skin started to gain some burns. He quickly took her and laid her in a shed. Slowly and gently wiping the blood around her face. He could feel her fake breath, he could taste the flavor her lips could only offer, he could feel that she's near her not just literally but emotionally.

Only Keizia had given him this feeling... the only weakness that vampire really has, the so called Love.

She healed quickly as he brought her to the hospital not to be cured by the doctors but to translate blood from dextrose bag. She's been treated as a baby. Vampires need blood when they're weak, to have more energy and heal fast. Though they also heal fast without drinker blood but on her case, she really needs it. She needed to taste and sarisfy herself with blood so it wont trigger her to kill anyone.

"You okay now?" He asked when she walked out the room where she was laid down.

"Do i look like a crap?" She asked staring at her reflection in the mirror.

She even has a reflection. Something's wrong. As thought by Francis.

They breathed a laugh but francis made it quick fake and left the hospital where Cristoff was working. They work there to get more blood, in a dextrose, they just pour it to some presentable container to look more appealing to the eyes of vampire.

"Uhm. It would be too much for me to ask but... can we go buy some other clothes? This silver dress and shoes were irritating me." Keizia soothingly asked him.

Vampires gets irritated easily to sunlight, silver things, and they change their mood in about no-minute. They were moody as usual, they look serious type and furious. It made an exception to Keizia, she's still her moody self-centered girl. She should act like being irritated and then calm, serious and bluffs around. She should become bipolar at least once in her vampire life.

"Thats what i've been waiting for, sweetheart." He started the engine and drive to the mall.

"You said something?" She asked even though she heard what he said.

A drive through the mall made her fall asleep. Being exposed too much to sunlight made her weak quickly. She needs to tolerate this urge to sleep at daylight. Though they really dont sleep, they just pretend they were.

Francis left her at the car and brought some clothes for her.

It took him half an hour to pick her clothes. He flavored classy yet daring dress, a flat shoes that has some roses decor. The dress will pull Keizia's b*o*s tight and will leave a cleave.

He's been urging for sensual desire. More than it, beyond and over it. The lust of vampires tend to go strong when first turned, turning or when they met their mate, and he's feeling it now. Sweetly and excited.

He exited the mall.

He's grinning as he walk to reach the car, but just from a distance, he looked stupid as he imagine Keizia caressing him as he walk. He erased it though, he was surprised when he saw Keizia's shadow sofocating the car. She's asleep and it may kill her.

His drive to save Keizia made him more stupid as when he broke the window near her, he was caught by her hand. His fist flaming with irritation because Keizia was holding it tight.

"Oh. Sorry." She apologized for her damage.

His hands was badly hurt. Keizia was getting stronger and much stronger than what he thought about.

He thought about the skill Keizia was holding. Kaisle could read and guess what do vampires think about, but some strong vampires cannot be penetrated with his skill.

Cristoff could manipulate both vampires and humans. Could also heal vampires and human too.

Aerin could transport from one place to another without being noticed. Telekinesis as well said.

Sebrina could change into something. She could copy someones voice and physical appearance but could not really act the same.

He, Francis could protect vampires, he's weak but he's still learning to have more skills. He could protect himself from other vampires by just looking direct to the eyes or even by just being steady.

Her mother Rioma has a skill of making things move and work with itself by just staring and thinking about it. She could control tangible things.

But...

Keizia was mysteriously living with them. What does she got? Why it cant be seen? Its been a while but it wasnt shown.

The shadow thing bothered him a lot. Why was he sighting those? This strange aura made him think, Keizia was not fully turned, and she's walking the dangerous path of death. If he's right about what he thought she'll die soon.
