"He beat me with the metal part of the belt. Normally he would stop when I started to bleed or even before it got to that point, but this time he kept on..." I whispered softly so that it couldn't be heard by Thomas or Alex. "I have no choice, but to give in...I can't take this anymore. This hurts more than living..." I groaned. I hated this so much. There's no telling how long it'll be before I can even walk again.

{Sorina} As soon as school ended, I walked straight to Crystal's house, not bothering to go home first. The walk was a good couple of miles, but it hadn't bothered me when I was still human, and it didn't bother me now. I let myself in, not bothering to knock - no one knocked here. For a second I paused, ready to call out her name, then I heard voices from upstairs. I padded into the room. "Hey, Crystal, I - " I broke off mid-sentence the second I saw her. "Oh, my God. What happened?"

"What do you want to know first, the good news or the bad news?" I asked her calmly.

I shook my head. "I don't care. Just tell me what the hell happened to you," I said, my voice remaining calm.

"Okay the good news is that I have officially given up on killing myself. I know I promised before, but I accidently let it slip and have been beaten so much for that. I can barely walk or stand because of it... On the other hand there is some bad news....Technically I'm not living..." I said hoping she would catch on to what I meant.

My head jerked up. "You're a vampire?" "It's becoming a diverse club," Lucian muttered. I ignored him. "How?"

"When we were in third grade a boy fell in love with Crystal. He found out that her parents beat her, so he offered to change her to a vampire. She was actually going to let him before I stopped her. I slapped her after wards, correct?" Alex said and looked at me. I nodded. "Ethan, the boy, said that he'd eventually come back for me and change me to a vampire. Obviously he came back, but he doesn't know that I was a werewolf. Eventually the werewolf blood will re-enter my system, and I'll become a werewolf again. For now though I am a vampire..."

"Jeez." I shook my head softly. "What hasn't happened to you, Crystal?" Lucian held up one hand, ticking off each thing on his fingers. "Let's see... she's been threatened, kidnapped, attacked, beaten, changed into a vamp, forcefully kissed, watched people die... have I left out anything?" he said dryly.

"I've been tortured. I burned my boyfriend's body. My heart's been broken several times. Many bones have been broken. Oh don't forget the awesome memory loss, or having my blood sucked out by three vampires, no offense Thomas. I have also tried taking care of a little girl, and you all know how that's been working out for me... These are the many things that torture me into wanting to end my life, but of course I'm not going to do that... Mainly because you people are going to end up paralyzing me..." I muttered. All of this was true, very true.

{Sorina} Lucian shook his head. "You represent life in Amenia very well, it seems," he said dryly. "It really does suck, doesn't it?" I snorted. "Yeah? Try growing up here. Let's not forget I've been thrown straight through a glass window."

I shook my head. We'd all been through so much. I knew now that if I gave in everyone else would as well. I couldn't let that happen. I had to stay strong. I looked up at Thomas. I knew that I had to change the way I was. I had to show him that I loved him more than anything in the world. I got up from the couch, not caring about the amount of pain that was burning on my backside. He watched me cautiously, trying to figure out what I was doing. I leaned forward and kissed his lips. He stiffened from the shock, but then slowly melted against me. He pulled me closer and we were kissing very passionately. I knew Alex especially didn't care for this to be going on while he was in the room. He may have stopped acting like it, but I knew he still loved me more than like a little sister or friend. I didn't care though. I was with him. I loved him very deeply. We finally stopped and everyone's eyes were on us. I blushed a bright red and looked down. Thomas tipped up my chin, and smiled brightly. I had no choice, but to smile back. I hugged him tightly, and then felt the pain sear through me. I couldn't handle any of it any longer. I stumbled forward and then I was pulled into the darkness.

{Lucian} "Geez," I muttered, picking her up and gently laying her on the couch. I raised one eyebrow at Alex. "How hard did you hit her?"

{Alex} "I have to admit I went a little far, but I mean at least she's given up on wanting to kill herself, right?" I said, hurting very much inside at the moment. I hate to see her in this much pain, especially knowing that it was mainly all because of me. I couldn't handle this. "I'm very sorry, Crystal. I love you very much, and I'll talk to you when I can..." I whispered softly in her ear, and lightly kissed her cheek. "I'll see you guys around..." I said walking off. I needed to think. I also couldn't stand being the only human around two... correction, three vampires and a werewolf. I was a strong human and they all knew that, but there was still no way I would last if I was ever up against them... {Thomas} When Alex was finally gone, I looked at Lucian and narrowed my eyes. "What exactly did he do to her? She blocked me out of her mind so I couldn't see what happened..." I asked him softly, curious and worried.

I raised an eyebrow. "He beat her with the metal part of his belt. Hard," I said, keeping my voice mild and neutral, almost cold. I had a tendency do that with anyone except Sorina and Crystal.

{Thomas} "To the point of bleeding I can tell..." I said softly. I hated this. I didn't want her to have to go through that, but that was the only thing that would keep her from killing herself. I knew she would listen to Alex. She always had. At the moment I was curious as to what she was dreaming about. I love to read her mind. Her thoughts and memories were always very intriguing... {Crystal} In my dream I was laying down with Thomas on the grass. Our hands were intertwined as we looked out across the field. Two girls and a little boy were playing. One girl with pale white skin, reddish brown eyes, and long blonde hair, identical to mine, was holding a flower and twirling it in her hand. She smelled it and put it in her hair. Another girl that looked identical to the other, with maybe a little more tint of pink on her but not much, and had darker clothes on, was reading underneath a tree. The little boy was exploring the ground, and running circles around the girl with the flower. It suddenly occurred to me that these were our children. "Venus you want to race?" the little boy asked the girl. I smiled at the name. I loved that name, and it suited her perfectly. "Sure, Aaron. On the count of three... One...Two...Three!" she laughed and they took off. We watched them run off and as they ran time seemed to speed up and then they were teenagers. The only things really different was that the girl under the tree had died her hair black, and Aaron was a wolf. Aaron and Venus were still running around and they disappeared into the woods. I suddenly felt that instinct tell me that something bad was about to happen. Aaron came running out of the woods, and he ran straight to me. I could detect what his whimpering meant not only from the sounds and detecting exactly what he said, but also from it being pure obvious. Venus had been kidnapped. I ran straight for her, and I saw Ethan had his arms wrapped around her. It seems he'd freezed his age after he thought I'd become a vampire and had mistaken Venus for me. "Let her go..." I growled. Venus was crying, trying to escape his hold around her. "If I can't keep you Crystal I might as well keep your daughter...She's just as beautiful as you, maybe even more. Anyways, she's a pureblood. We could have a beautiful vampire family..." he chuckled pulling her close, and he kissed her cheek softly. "Ethan you're so stupid... How could you have not discovered I was a werewolf and wouldn't stay a vampire for long....?" I asked walking over to him and grabbing Venus's arm and pulling her over to me. Aaron stepped up and kept her back, and away from danger. "Are you a mixed breed? A vampire/werewolf?" Ethan chuckled looking at Aaron. Aaron growled and stepped forward. Aaron lunged quickly and I tried to stop him, but Ethan had control on me and kept me back. He knocked Aaron's head clean off, and Venus couldn't control her sobs. It was too horrifying for her to witness that. He walked over to Venus. He grabbed her and pulled her close to him. He tilted up her chin, and kissed her. He was feeling her up during this and she was screaming trying to get him to stop. I couldn't stop anything that was going on. I could only simply watch as he tortured my fifteen year old daughter. Once he finished he slapped her hard across the face, and threw her on the ground. He grabbed a metal rod and beat her with it. She couldn't move and was bleeding so much I knew she was on the verge of dying. I couldn't stop any of it. Eventually he picked her up in his arms. He kissed her softly, and then ripped off her head. Then he walked over to me, and allowed me to cry and scream. I was sobbing uncontrollably. He kissed my cheek, then my lips, and then my kneck. He then pulled back his lips and he continued to drink my blood. I could feel that I only had a little blood left. He through me on the ground. He took the metal rod, and beat me fiercely. I knew I was barely hanging on. I saw him take out a gun and place it on my head. I felt it lift and heard a gun shot, but I wasn't hit. I turned my head to see Thomas fall to the ground. He placed the gun back on my head. "Now... Goodbye my love..." he whispered softly, and the gun fired. I woke up suddenly. Thomas's arms were around me and was stroking my head, whispering soothing words in my ear. I noticed that I had been crying and possibly screaming during the dream. "I'm sorry... I didn't know that I was making a fuss during my dream..." I said softly, looking at everyone carefully.
