"I know what you are" ((Me and Wrath))

Time seemed to pass by, but that was always the case for him. Once he was settled in his new inn, he decided to wander about the city again once it grew darker. Maybe he could find a refreshing... drink. There were so many to choose from in the crowd."...That one girl Leila...why haven’t I drunken her blood yet?" He asks to himself saddened.
 
Leila was out in town again when night fell. She had decided to go for an evening walk to refresh her spirits and body. Hopefully she would not come across another dead body.
 
She wouldn’t find any dead bodies at this time. The only problem she would soon find herself feeling worried of a presence or presences following her. She was infact correct. Dark figures were watching her among the crowds. The dark figures start to gather around Leila, cornering her easily into an ally-way.

Ravel on the other hand was at a bar, with two women at his sides. The women hypnotized by his voice and eyes. Ravel moves his mouth to the woman’s neck and prepares to bite.
 
Leila had been walking through the night. She felt uneasy as she did, pulling her cloak around her. She tried to get away heading down an alley only to have a man standing in her way. She looked at him. She turned and tried to walk the way she had come only to be met with three other faces. She stepped to the side a little and said "What do you want".

The four men seemed to grin at her, showing their naturally long front teeth. They came walking to her slowly and one man said "Your blood". He lunged at her and she was pinned against the wall, his clawed fingers holding her head up as he breathed in her scent. "Hmmmm soooo delicious" he said smirking.

His fangs seemed to get larger and began to near his neck. She closed her eyes and shook her head, crying out "NO!" as his fangs sunk into her neck.
 
Ravels eyes shoot open and he quickly exits the bar. He felt something was wrong. Where was she? This question was soon answered when he vanished into the shadows to appear behind the figure that was trying to feed on Leila. Ravel grabs the attacker by the neck loud snaps can be heard. "Ugh Zingier I can smell...your stench from anywhere." He frowns and his eyes glow like gold in the dark. " Let her go...unless if you want to eat small animals." The other figures were too slow to notice his presence.
 
Leila struggled against the thing biting into her, she was sure it wasn't a man anymore. Her eyes opened and she saw a person behind him and his eyes glowed. Soon after, the thing ...identified as "Zingier" was pulled off her and she began to bleed from the neck. She slumped down to the floor in a little puddle as she watched. So many things were going through her head. She knew what was killing the girls in the city...the priests had been correct, there were demons in the city. Her hand reached inside her shirt to hold onto the the silver cross.

She watched as the three other vampires circled around him, snarling. "She's ours". Obviously they felt that had an advantage in numbers.
 
"Leila you will be fine. Just try to stay awake. I’m here to...rescue you." Ravel was shocked that such words slipped from his mouth. He looks at her, paying very little attention to the number of enemies. Whether it be one or one hundred he could handle them with ease.

The truth was these vampires were mere minions, or, as his groups would call "fresh meat". "Maybe you vermin should leave now...before I rips those fangs from your skulls.... you have three seconds" Ravel states in a clear, monstrous voice. Of course the weak vampires would attack, it was hard not to.
 
Leila watched and stared at the scene being displayed before her. The vampires eyes glared as Ravel threatened them. It did not take the first one to lunge, claws barring, aiming for Ravels neck and for the rest to follow suit. Leila closed her eyes, thinking the worst, not wanting to see.
 
It must have been the most convenient thing for her at that time when she shut her eyes. It saved her from seeing the gruesome fight before her. Ravel quickly clamps his hand onto the first vampire’s head, flipped, and smashed him into the ground. With the now mangled body, he throws it into the upcoming crowd of enemies. He cracks his fingers and his fingernails turn into claws. He lunges forward and tears the minions apart. Zingier flees the scene quickly as the bodies of the minions vanish into the shadows.

Ravel takes a deep breath and cracks his neck. His fingers quickly change back to normal. "Are you ok Leila!?" He shouts as he kneels down to her. He lifts her up quickly. "Im going to need to clean and cover your neck!"
 
Leila closed her eyes and blocked her ears. She had never been so scared in her life. She felt someone pick her up and out of instinct she lashed out, struggling. Did she dare to open her eyes. She did so slowly and stopped when she saw a familiar face. She looked up at him and said "What do you mean? What is going to happen to me?" she asked fearfully.
 
"You will be fine. Nothing of great concern will happen to you." Ravel quickly tries to reassure her as he jumps up to the rooftop, holding her close. Her struggling was far from effective. It only took about a minute or two for Ravel to bring Leila to his Inn room. He places her onto his bed. "Please ...I want you to stay calm and to stay still....How do you feel?" He orders her tearing one of the beds sheets and grabs ice. He quickly puts the ice in a small pouch and places it onto Leila’s neck, applying a bit of pressure. He was going to have to stop the bleeding before it would heal.
 
Leila held onto him for dear life as he jumped to the rooftops and made his way to his inn room. She was placed on the bed. When asked how she felt she looked at him and replied "Tired....and ....cold..." she said softly.
 
Ravels bolts his eyes around with a feeling of worry that he hadn’t felt for a decade or maybe even a century. She must have already lost most of her blood already. "Leila...please forgive me." He closes his eyes in regret of his thought and grows out his fangs. He places his mouth on her neck and starts to inject some of his own blood into her. It was a great risk...but to save her it was needed. He withdrew his fangs a moment later and the holes in her neck heal up rather quickly. This method of healing was unheard of among vampires. It was rumored the human would display odd side effects.
 
Leila felt his fangs sink into her neck, her eyes closed slowly as he did, feeling more pain. She felt something moving into her body. Seconds later she found her self in excruciating pain, like a hundred needles has been pushed into her body, like her blood had turned to glass and cut her from the inside. She could feel her strength waning. It wasn't long till her fragile heart stopped beating and her body went limp. She had died. For a few moments nothing would happen. Her soul was moving onto the next world, but then her body called her back. Her soul was sucked back in and life returned to her. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at him, a few seconds later her eyes went wide. She was feeling pain again as her body began to change. Fangs began to grow in her mouth, her bones got tougher, her muscles stronger. Her vision got better. Claws grew out from her nails and her eyes changed to a hungry, carnivorous red color.

She looked at him and in a thirsty rasped voice, she seemed to growl "What have you done to me..."
 
A sorrowful frown washes over Ravel as her body becomes lifeless. He looks away from her, when she returned to life. "I...brought you back." He says in a low, still hearable voice. "You lost too much blood and you had little to any chance of surviving." He closes his eyes and smiles faintly at her. "Please forgive me ...there wasn’t much time left and you were going to die. I couldn’t let you die in such a way.”
 
Leila looked at him, her eyes still red. "Why do I feel so thirsty" she asked out, getting up. She looked down at her hands, seeing the claws. She breathed in and she smelt something so delicious. It was blood, human blood. She stood up and a grin that was unlike her came across her features. Lead by her instinct to feed and bolted for the door.
 
"Leila stop!" Ravel shout loudly at her. "You have to contain yourself." He orders, running to her side and holding her back from the door. "You aren’t yourself." He tries to calm her with words. "This is like you!" He had no room to talk for the fact that he hardly knew her to begin with. His words did have ,some, control over her and her actions.
 
Leila felt him hold back. He heard his shouts. Her natural instinct to get rid of the thing stopping her from feeding kicked in and she cried out "LET GO!" and her arm flew back, sending him flying back with her new found strength. She turned and looked at him. A part of her wanted to kill him from stopping her, she cuaght her self in her thoughts. An expression of shock came over her as that was how she felt. She looked at him and she was frozen. What has she done? Her hands moved to her confused head. "Whats happening to me?" she rasped out. She fell to her knees, holding her head, tears welled up in her eyes.
 
Ravels eyes shoot open wider when he is struck to the other side of the room. What had he done? He had felt the bloodlust in her strike...this didn’t match her once beautiful innocent presence. He stands on the once table and walks towards her. He kneels down to her and takes her into his arms sympathetically. "You are changing...into a ...vampire." He tries to not say the last word but it was pointless. "The reason you are so thirsty is because ...you want blood." He was greatly regretting this action but he did it for her. “I can help you…to control your new urges…”
 
Leila felt his arms around her and she closed her eyes. He told her she was turning into a vampire, she thought as much. She looked at him and said "Tell me what to do" she said, a desperate look in her eyes. She looked down and said "Help me..." she said softly.
 
"First we have to adjust your body to your new changes." Ravel tries to tell her. He felt his heart tearing. "I will help you ...don’t worry." His voice goes silent for a second. "Just don’t promise me and yourself not to hurt those you love with this..."curse". To call it a curse was most accurate in her current position.
 
Leila looked at him and said "I promise I wont..." she said softly.She looked at him and said "What do I do?" she asked him softly, she was like a lost child.
 
"Don't you worry I will take care of everything...I will protect you from now on. Listen…why don’t you tell me your…favorite food.” Ravel asks Leila so he could help her process. He tried to stray away from offering her his blood, which would sedate her. That method would only speed up her bloodlust. “We are going to go out for a meal…I will explain everything then.”
 
Leila looked at him and said "My favorite food...". She was a bit puzzled as to why he had asked but she replied "Lemon gelato" she said looking at him. She looked at him and said "Okay".His methods confused her but she trusted him and would do as he asked.
 
Ravel tries to smile at her answer. It would have been so much easier if she had picked a meat but...sure why not. "O before you go out I want you to take five deep breaths. This was a simple method to revert vampires’ eyes to "normal" from being blood red. It would have been quiet odd if she were stared at like a leper for it. "Once your done, we will head out." He waits for her at the door. "Also would you be so kind as to lead me there...I don’t know the way." Ravel faintly smiles at her.
