Alex drank her blood slowly, turning her into a creature of the night like him. When he was satisfied that she would be okay, he teleported back to his apartment, not wanting her to be at her apartment, in case someone else attacked. He laid her on his bed, teleporting to her apartment for only a few seconds, he grabbed a few of her clothes and walked over to his coffin, teleporting them all back to his apartment, right next to her. He set the clothes somewhere and quickly moved back to the bed. He looked her over, she didn't look too good; most of the time the turning was fairly painless, but most of the time the newly turned weren't in such a near death state. Sitting down on top of the bed, he decided he wanted to check on her wound; when she began to turn completely, the wound would heal. Carefully removing her shirt, he saw the gaping wound in her chest, the sword had gone through a few major points and if Alex hadn't turned her when he did, she would be dead instead of undead.
He sat down on his coffin and watched her, waiting, with a concerned expression on his face. Waiting for something, any sign of her awakening or being alright in the slightest. He had almost nodded off when the full turning began; his eyes were closed and his head was in his hands when she started to scream. He looked up and raced to her side, he looked at the wound she had and saw it close up very rapidly, and obviously very painfully. He sighed a sigh of relief when she went limp; she was going to be okay. Wiping the tears of blood from her face, he smiled lightly and took her hand in his, squeezing it gently. He sat like that for a long while, almost eight hours passed, he never left her side for more than a minute.
He looked out the window and saw that night had fallen, as he turned back, Rae sat up, her emerald eyes burned with blood-lust and she went for the nearest source; Alex's neck. She wrapped her mouth around his neck, her jaws extending and her fangs growing. She bit down on his neck, hard, and her jaws clenched his windpipe between them, she drained him quickly and greedily, and he smiled as she did; she would need her strength, and the first thirst is always the most unquenchable. After a minute or so, he sighed and said, through a slightly blocked windpipe, "Rae... welcome... to the darkness." He smiled lightly and wrapped his arms around her as he said this, his head tilted slightly backwards, to allow her easier access to his neck.

Alex's voice saying her name finally got through to her as he wraped his arms around her. She moved her face from his throat to look up at him. Rae's face was covered in his blood, her fangs full extended, the thirst burning in her eyes.
"The...darkness?" Rae asked, testing her voice out for the first time as the realization of what she was fully sank in, and, more importantly, the realization of what she had gained. She smiled, showing her fangs, as she looked into Alex's eyes. Her voice sounded more musical to her ears, and she found she could hear things she never could before. Rae could hear an animal rustling around and squeaking in the other room - something she had never heard the last time she was in Alex's room.
"Do I look different at all?" She asked, suddenly concerned that the change would make her look different, change her eye colour. She knew her eyes were one of Alex's favourite parts about her. She had been about to worry further when Alex tilted his head to the side to allow her better access to his throat.
Rae cocked her head to the side as she caught the scent of Alex's blood, licking her lips as a look of pure extasy crossed her face, her previous worries completely forgotten. She growled low in her throat, rolled up onto her knees as she pulled him into a similar position on the bed and licked him before biting into his throat once again. She let a small moan escape her as his blood filled her mouth, drinking from him again as she pressed herself to him, her shirt forgotten on the floor. Rae held him to her, her nails digging gently into his back as she drank from him.

Alex smiled as the realization of what had occurred hit Rae, he looked at her newly acquired fangs, they were an impressive set to be sure. Smelled her sweet scent, now even more appealing to him than before. When she asked if she looked different, Alex knew exactly what she was talking about. He ran his hand through her hair and kissed her forehead, saying, "You look more beautiful than before and your eyes are still their brilliant emerald green." He watched as she licked the blood from her lips and smiled when she pulled him down and bit into him again. He wrapped his arms around her and moved his head to her neck, putting his lips around her throat, still not biting her, but extending his fangs just enough so they pressed lightly on her skin, his fingers tracing patterns onto her back. He thought to her, over the mind link, "Rae, my love... How would you feel about sleeping beneath the stars this evening?" He teleported them to the beach, and they fell asleep under the stars.

The next morning, something woke Rae up. It was just before dawn, and at first, Rae thought that might have been the reason she was awake. She was pretty sure vampires had an internal clock and alarm survival system set to sunrise to make sure they were inside. But that theory was quickly disbanded when she looked up from Alex's chest and noticed he was still alseep.
Something woke her up. When Rae raised her head, it was there. It was a smell, an absolutely delicious, mouthwatering smell. Just as Rae was tracking it, a flashlight beam shone right in her face.
"Aw s**t." Came the muffled curse as a uniformed police officer stumbled back, shocked to have found them there on the beach this early. "C'mon, you two can't be here like this. It's public property...What the -?!" The police officer swore again as his flashlight beam glinted off Rae's fangs as they descended, her pupils dilating as she hissed at him. He smelled so good.

Alex blinked when he heard a voice, he didn't recognize it, which bothered him. He sat up and looked to Rae, who was glaring and baring her fangs at a police officer. He grabbed Rae by the arm and said, "Rae, no! We can't feed on humans!" He sensed that she wasn't going to stop, so he teleported them back to his apartment. The officer just stared at the spot where they were, bewildered and surprised. Back in his apartment, Alex gripped Rae tightly and tried to get her to come back to her senses, "Rae, you have to learn to control yourself... You can't just feed on humans. Remember who you are. You are now a member of the proud vampire nobility, and as such you should be able to conduct yourself in a respectable manner, even around humans." Alex hugged her close to his chest, keeping his grip on her tightly. He wasn't going to let her go down that path, not now, not ever. He wondered how he was going to explain all of this to Alaric, and how he would react.
After calming Rae down, he brought her over to the bed and sat down next to her, holding her hands in his. Sighing, he leaned over and kissed the top of her head. Looking her directly in her emerald eyes, he said, firmly, yet kindly, "I want you to stay here. Don't leave, I need you to be somewhere safe, and nowhere is safer for you than here right now. I need to speak with Alaric about this." Standing, Alex put his clothes on, and smiled at Rae before teleporting to the office, knowing that Alaric would be there.
Appearing outside the office, Alex knocked four times before entering. Approaching the desk, Alex sighed and prepared to speak to his grandfather. Stopping a few feet from the desk, he spoke to his grandfather, who had his back turned to Alex, "Grandfather... Something's happened... to Rae... She's... one of us now... I turned her, yesterday, shortly after I left... She was kidnapped and fatally wounded... if I hadn't done what I did... she would be dead." He stared at his grandfather who still hadn't turned around to look at him. Sighing, he waited for a response; he wasn't sure how Alaric would react, after all, he had gotten very angry when he noticed Alex's feelings for her, but now he had turned her. Alex had no idea what was going to happen next.

Alaric did not turn from his chair as Alex entered the room and spoke. He needed time to collect his thoughts so as not to throtle his grandson. Alaric's rage was apparent on his face, and he needed time to get his expression - and his emotions - in check. Alex had deliberately disobeyed him, and that kind of contempt would not stand.
"Alexander" Alaric said as he turned his chair slowly around, peircing his grandson with a penetrating glare, "You knowingly acted against a direct order I gave you. I ordered you to have nothing more to do with the wretch you call your partner, and now you've made her one of us?! And not just any one of us, but a part of the noble bloodlines!"
By this point, Alaric was in a spitting rage, his impressive set of fangs fully exposed. "She knows nothing of the rules, the traiditons, the rituals! You have not even married the girl and already she shares the traits of our bloodline! Make no mistake Alex, this girl is your responsibility, and any penalty she receives will be felt ten times more by you. Your actions disgust me, grandson, and I am ashamed to call you my own. Now go, I've tolerated enough of your presence." Alaric waved a hand in dismissal, and turned his chair around to face the wall again.

Alex stared right back at his grandfather as he glared at him while speaking. Listening to what Alaric said bothered Alex, how could he be so shortsighted and unforgiving? His eyes flared when his grandfather insulted Rae. He just stood and watched as his grandfather got angrier and angrier. His eye twitched when Alaric waved him off, he snapped. Slamming his hands down on the desk, it cracking under his fists, he shouted at his grandfather, "I'm sick and tired of this grandfather! I refuse to tolerate this sort of behavior from you! You're telling me things that don't matter to me! So what if she doesn't know any of the ritual or traditions?! I shall teach her everything she needs to know! And YOU'RE ashamed of ME?! I should be ashamed of you! I'm ashamed that my own grandfather can be so bitter and angry, that he would dismiss anything his grandson tries to do in order to be happy! How can you be so stuck in the old ways!? I LOVE Rae, and I would've expected you to be more understanding of that fact!" Alex was truly enraged now, his fangs fully extended, his pupils dilated into slits and he was about ten seconds away from pulling out his pistols and shooting at Alaric.
He raised his hands from the desks, and clenched his fists at his side. His nails dug into the palms of his hands, causing him to bleed. His fists shook with rage, and he had to turn and leave in order to avoid trying to kill his grandfather. As he walked to the door, he said one last thing to his grandfather before teleporting away, "Just because the last human you truly loved tried to betray you and kill you, doesn't mean they are all like that." With that Alex spat on the floor and teleported away. Appearing in his kitchen, Alex sighed and placed his bleeding hands on the counter. He turned toward the cage sitting in the room, and pulled the curtain off, looking at Vincent, who could sense something was wrong and clung to the side of the cage, chittering and squeaking. Alex smiled and opened the cage, Vincent let go and flapped around him a few times before landing on his shoulder and leaning towards his face, his head tilted slightly to the side as if to ask what was wrong. Alex simply smiled at his pet and patted his head lightly with a finger.

Rae appeared beside Alex almost silently as he pet Vincent, his pet bat. Rae popped the strawberry she had been holding into her mouth as she stood beside him, smiling when Vincent cocked his head to the side as if to say "What's wrong?" Everything tasted so much better now that she was a vampire. Rae had worried that regular food would lose it's taste now that she craved blood, but - in the case of strawberries, at least - that didn't seem to be accurate. She also remembered that Alex had been able to eat food since they started working together, and she thought back to that night at the resturaunt, their first date...
It was then she noticed the smell. Rae took one of his hands in her own and turned it so that it was facing palm up. The nail marks on his hand had already closed, but Rae licked the blood beginning to dry there. Pushing aside the rush of plesant emotions Alex's blood stirred inside her, she looked up into Alex's crimson eyes and noticed the struggle brewing there. Her brow creased with worry.
"What's the matter, my love?" Rae asked, pressing his palm to her cheek. "What did Alaric say? Is there some sort of problem? Did we lose someone?" Concern lit her eyes as she searched Alex's face, looking for some sort of sign as to what the trouble was. Rae wondered briefly if Alaric had spoken to Alex about the trouble with the human police officer this morning. She knew she had been wrong, and of course she would never feed on a human, she had just been caught unaware, and her instincts had kicked in before her brain had a chance to catch up.
Rae opened the mind link between the two of them, so much easier now that she was a vampire herself, and said "Alex, I love you. You know you can tell me anything." She continued to look into his eyes as she waited for an answer, his palm still pressed against her cheek.

Alex smiled at Rae as she took his hand. There was a very small hint of sadness behind his smile, but he barely showed it. He sighed and said, "Alaric... was not pleased with me... He didn't agree with what I did... How my own grandfather can be so shortsighted is beyond me.... But I don't care what he thinks, I have you, and that's all that matters." Alex smiled at Rae, trying to banish the saddened thoughts from his head. Sighing again, he kissed her silently, then proceeded to explain what Alaric had said, but left out a few of the insults that he had thrown towards Rae. When he was finished, he looked at Rae, appraising her, with a smile on his face. He ran a hand through her hair and said, "I have no doubt in my mind that you will make an excellent vampire. Traditions and such be damned, I can teach you those. You have great potential as a vampire noble, and I have no doubt you will live up to it." He ran a hand along her cheek and smiled, showing his fangs. Vincent chittered and squeaked on his shoulder, flying off and landing gently on Rae's shoulder, looking at her and squeaking a noise of what Alex saw as approval. Smiling he chuckled and said, "See? Even Vincent thinks so. And he's no ordinary fruit bat."

Rae worked very hard to keep a neutral expression on her face as Alex told her about his fight with Alaric. For the first time since becoming a vampire, Rae was having some serious doubts.
She didn't know anything about traditions or rituals - she couldn't even control herself at the first test of her abilities. Rae suddenly wasn't so sure she would have been able to restrain herself with that human police officer had Alex not been there to teleport her to safety.
Rae took a deep breath, and made an oath to herself. She would learn everything Alex taught her, and she would be the best, most well learned noble vampire, Alaric be damned. As Alex kissed her, she smiled, and laughed at the little bat who had come to rest on her shoulder.
"Well aren't you just the sweetest little thing. Vincent, you said his name was? What an adorable little fruit bat!" Rae reached her finger out to stroke his head gently.

Alex smiled as she stretched her finger out to pet Vincent. He chuckled and said, "Vincent it is. He's adorable, and very important to me. He holds... the last remnants of my father's spirit. I'm not sure how he did it, but my father transferred a piece of himself into Vincent here just before he died. That was when I was only sixteen. Vincent's been around almost as long as I have." Vincent cocked his head to the side as Rae reached her finger out. He backed away slightly, sniffing her finger with an appraising sort of attitude. Pausing a moment, he opened his mouth and bit Rae's finger lightly, drawing a small drop of blood, which he then drank. Pausing even further, Vincent rocked his head back and forth, as though he was deciding on something. He stopped and squeaked, he started flying around Rae's head three times before landing back on her shoulder and rubbing his face against her cheek approvingly.
Alex watched the spectacle and smiled, saying, "Well, Vincent likes you too. Alaric has absolutely no idea what he's talking about." He smiled and ran a hand through her hair before kissing her again. He stood back and yawned, having gotten very little sleep and having woken up early in the morning, he was tired. He smiled at Rae and stretched his arms. His lack of sleep finally caught up with him, and he decided it was time to retire to his coffin. He sighed and asked Rae, "Would you like to sleep now? I'm dead tired. We can get you your coffin soil later tonight if you want." He smiled again, his fangs exposed and Vincent flew back to his cage and Alex closed the door, draping the cloth back over it before turning back to Rae with a smile still on his face.

"Vincent?" she asked, "Was that your fathers name?" Rae worked not to flinch when Vincent bit her finger, and she laughed when he took flight and circled her head three times. She closed her eyes when the bat leaned against her face and whispered "Thank you."
Rae kissed him back and yawned as he did, smiling a little at the mirrored action. "Sleep would be much appreciated, thank you." Rae smiled as she made her way into Alex's room and stood beside his coffin. "Soil?" she asked as she pulled her shirt over her head and let it fall to the floor. "For what?" Rae slipped out of her jeans as well, folding them neatly and smiling playfully at Alex. "I'm making a new coffin rule - No clothes allowed. I can't sleep in clothes."

Alex smiled as Rae made her way to the coffin. He chuckled when she asked about the soil, he sighed and said, "In order for a coffin to be of any use to a vampire, it must contain soil from where they were born. In my case, there's a small bit of soil under the inner lining of my coffin. It doesn't have to be much, even a few ounces will do." He cocked his head to the side when she said something about new rule, then immediately smiled. He shrugged and said, "Fair I suppose, I can live with that." He chuckled slightly at his comment, he waved his hand and his clothes faded from his body. Yawning again, Alex moved to the coffin and quickly laid down inside, waiting for Rae to do the same.

Rae stilled for a moment and closed her eyes. She wished she wouldn't have to share that part of her life with Alex. The past is the past, and she wanted to focus on moving forward, but at the same time, she wanted him there with her if she was going to return to the place she hated so much. Rae needed a light in the darkness, a reminder of how she had escaped that place, and the future she had to look forward to.
Rae shook her head slightly to clear it, and smiled as she saw lex use the now familiar fog to remove his clothes. She climbed into the coffin next to him and kissed his throat as she snuggled close. "You'll have to teach me how to do that, someday." Rae said as her eyes drifted close, finally giving in to the exhaustion she felt.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rae woke up again just as the sun was setting. Her internal clock working to help her adjust to this new schedule. Thankfully, working with Alex had helped to ease her into the nightlife. She sighed and made a mental note to call in to her boss and quit her day job. Not that anyone would worry if she didn't call in, Rae just didn't like to leave loose ends.
She smiled, the smell of Alex filling the coffin, and decided to try a new method to wake him up. Rae concentrated, and felt her fangs slide out over her lower lip. She grinned, happy with herself, and growled slightly before biting into his throat, her eyes opening wider as she drank from him. She stopped for a moment to whisper "Morning, love." and went back to drinking from him as she pressed her body close to his.

Alex awoke to a slight pressure on his neck. Opening his eyes, he saw Rae biting his neck and drinking his blood. He smiled and whispered back to her, "Quite a good morning if I do say so myself. What a wonderful wake-up call." He breathed in deeply, taking in her scent, mixed with the aroma of his own blood. Sighing, he felt his fangs slide out, and he leaned into her neck and bit her, draining her as she drained him. After staying like that for a while, Alex released his fangs from her neck and said, quietly, "Time to get up, we've got to get you your soil tonight." He leaned in and licked her throat before kissing it and smiling. He slid the lid off of the coffin and stood up, stretching his arms. Stepping out of the coffin, he sighed and went to his closet, grabbing one of his many outfits from inside and slipping it on. Yawning, he blinked to try and wake his brain up, he moved to the kitchen and opened the fridge, reaching inside, he pulled out two blood packs and a box of strawberries. Setting them on the counter, he sighed and shook his head as memories of what Alaric had said to him came flooding back. He was going to prove him wrong, he was going to prove that Rae was worth it.
