Bloody

Healer.

"When you say us, that doesn't involve me right" I joked. Trying to lighten the mood.

I rubbed my forehead, if only I could get a headache,I would have one right now.

"I think you've had enough for today". Travis turned to leave, and I quickly blocked him.

I still had a few questions to ask.

"Are you the only child of your father?" I asked.

"Yes. I am my father's only child. The father of the born generation. Every vampire in the lethic faction are in one way or the other related to me".

Wow. I just realized Travis was old. Like real old.

It felt like my brain was going to explode from the information I had learned today, and it somehow felt like Travis knew it to.

Because with one last look, he walked away leaving me alone to my thoughts.

I stood there like a sack, trying to process all that he had told me.

For a minute, It felt like a dream, or at least I hoped for it to be.

I wished for the nightmare to be over, but I knew that was wishful thinking.

I dragged myself to my room and layed there just staring at my walls.

My prison.

I closed my eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

I have been in the lethic faction for four days now.

I spent most my days training and getting my ass kicked by Freya.

She enjoyed pushing me to my limits.

I haven't seen Travis since our very interesting interaction in the training area.

Honestly, with all the training, I haven't had a moment to myself.

Right now, laying in my bed, which is the only time I get to rest. i thought of my life.

To be honest, this wasn't what I envisioned my life to be. I wouldn't go as far as saying, i had my life planned out, but I was getting there.

I never once imagined I would be married at twenty.

I mean technically, am not married yet but it was going to happen, if Freya hints were anything to go by.

I rubbed my head, trying to calm the pain that hit me.

I felt an instant stab in my tummy, like my intestines were being squeased.

I tried standing but my leg gave way and I fell to the ground.

Trying to stand was useless, the pain was just too much to ignore.

It was like pain I've never felt before, like every cell in my body was being distroyed, like a little thousand cuts all over my body. My fangs hurt so much, I could feel it coming out, as if ready for a kill.

But I couldn't take it. Death felt like a better option.

As I layed there, crying my eyes out, I remembered Vanessa.

This was my turning, I was finally becoming a vampire.

I screamed out in pain, struggling to stay calm, that I wasn't even aware of the shadow before me.

It was only when he touched me that I realized who he was.

"Look at me Vanessa". He said. "Open your mind and let me help you".

I couldn't understand what he was saying, I was blinded by the pain, and all I could do was lean in closer to him. Because somehow, his presence made me feel safe.

"Vanessa. Open your mind and let me share your pain". He shouted, and my eyes opened as if commanded.

I stared at him and let all my defences fall. I could feel him. His feeling ,his fear for me, his thoughts.

I felt the pain reduced tremendously and I breathed out, trying to catch my breath.

It felt like I was transferring my pain. No, not transferring, sharing.

Looking at Travis as he stood in pain, I knew I was right.

He somehow shared my pain and for some reason I have never felt this connected to a person. It was like we were in sync.

I struggled to stand, still a little dazed, but I felt stronger. Not just physically but psychologically to, if that was even possible.

As I stood there two words ran through my mind.

It's over.

I was finally a vampire again.

My pain was over but I could tell Travis was still in pain.

I stared at my hands and thought of what my sire said.

I took a step closer to Travis, and I could see the confused look in his eyes.

He was wondering what I planned to do.

I knew what I was going to do but I didn't know how I would do it.

Not letting that stop me, I touched Travis with my hands and we stood there in an uncomfortably sillence.

For a minute,nothing happened. But as I shed every human part of me and accepted who i truly was.

A vampire.

A queen.

An anchor.

A healer.

Vanessa.

My hands lit up, and I felt so much energy pass through me and into him.

Unlike with Chase, I could tell this was healing energy.

My hands deemed and we just stared at each other, and he smiled.

"You healed me". He whispered.

"Yes. Yes I did".
