 Jude's POV:

         Vegas was full of baby vamps , and we had to keep a low key profile the whole time. I swear it was like a widespread vampire disease going around but no , it was just my idiot sister Penny. The one that I thought was the sweetest thing in the world up until a few months ago.

I had already lost my mother , now I might as well say here goes my sister too. It was bound to happen, because she chose this path. I sigh , and watch my father and Simon scurry around the penthouse hotel room. They were making strategies on how to kill a whole state of vampires in one sweep. Dead blood was out, can't kill all of those humans. Fighting was out , due to it was only eight of us and thousands of them by now. We may have been vampires but we all weren't that good.

I sit on the edge of the bed. Penny and Saber were out scoping out the enemies and possibly killing some off. Gale , Ryan and Daniel were more than likely having a killing spree, when they were supposed to be looking for a possible hideout for Penny.

I lay back on the bed and think of where Marisa was . If she was dead , Penny wouldn't bring her back to life ... would she ? . I hoped not, turned vampires aren't too bad but they do have a thirst that needs to be satisfied unlike older vampires. Also , I didn't want her to have the life of a vampire, I wasn't being elfish or anything . I just didn't want her to have this life, it could get ugly before it ever gets beautiful. I knew, I've been through it so many times and I'm going through it now. Vampires just had trouble follow them no matter how good a life they try to live. Another sigh. 

"Jude get up before you bore yourself to death. Enough with the sighing it's irritating me ." My father said. I didn't know he had heard.

"Alright. " I jumped off the bed and walked over to him. Hopefully we found Marisa soon.

( Time for that time skip )
A few days later

Marisa's POV:
I woke up with a pounding headache. It hurt so bad that I thought I was going to blank out again.
Wait, I woke up. I swear my neck was snapped.

"Good you are awake." A high-pitched voice said. It sounded really familiar . I should remember her , this voice. I opened my eyes but immediately closed them as sunlight almost blinded me.

"Ah " I said. I tried to move but I was tied down to a chair with some very intricate knots. Why ?
" Sorry Marisa. I had to tie you down for your good and my own. " That girl said again. She sounded familiar her name was on the tip of my tongue. I can feel the name. It begins with a ... P.

What was it ?

Or What is it ?

I know. Penny. That bitch. 

Shit Penny. I opened my eyes but the sunlight hit me again and I cried out in pain. Why was I so freaking sensitive when Jude wasn't. Jude. I need him.

"Sorry again but you can't go anywhere for the time being and it's rather peculiar the sun burns your eyes. I'll close the blinds." I heard Penny get up and walk over to the blinds. Suddenly the room became darker and I opened my eyes . I could see everything like I had night vision and I could see Penny. I was pissed.

"Why ?" I asked. A smiled appeared on her face in the dark room.

" I want it all, that's why . "She answered a little laugh following.

" They are your family and you plan to hurt them. " 

" Doesn't matter. Now enough worrying about me ,let's worry about you. In five seconds you will experience something. Countdown in five, four, three, two and"

By the time she had gotten too one an incredible burning pain hit my throat. It was so dry and I was very thirsty. I could only feel the need to get out of the chair and drink. Not water, not pop, and not anything that wasn't... blood. I knew what I wanted and the heartbeat I heard two floors down from where ever we were was so very tempting. No, I can't but something told me I had to.

" What am I ?" I croaked out, my throat in massive pain. I saw a smile on Penny's small face.

" You are a vampire." Soon as the words dropped from her poisonous lips I wanted to lash out at her. I tried to get up but there was nothing I could do. My body was sluggish and all that I succeeded in doing was dropping to my knees. Penny let out a high-pitched laugh.

" You can't hurt me. I own you now. " She told me. I glared up at her, hair falling into my face.

" You bitch." I spat but it only hurt my throat more. The more I talked the more my throat burned for need and satisfaction. I breathed heavily and clutched at my throat.

" You are actually taking this better than I expected. " Penny commented , she came around and squatted in front of me. I sent another glare towards her, but I didn't say anything . The pain was too much, and my eyes stung from oncoming tears.

" Now I could help you ?" Penny offered, holding out a hand. Then just as quickly took it back. She got up and walked over to a mini-fridge and took something out. Seconds later she was back in front of me. I looked at her hands and saw the blood-packet. My eyes opened wide at the sight and I swear my tongue swiped across my lips.

" Aw poor thing . You look like you're really hungry. " She taunted . A slender finger , slid across the opening of the blood packet making it open. My eyes processed the whole thing. As soon as the smell hit my nostrils , they flared and suddenly my throat burned so much I couldn't take it. My stomach felt like two hands were trying to rip themselves out of me. I was on my feet launching towards Penny in seconds but she was too quick for me. I was standing in the middle of the room, wild eyed like a deer caught in headlights. There was a small snicker from the corner of the room and my body jumped at the sound in alarm. I could still smell the blood and my mouth practically watered.

" Nah ah ah . You still have a compact to agree to ." Penny reminded me. My mind was on haywire and all I wanted was one simple thing. I needed it but I wished I didn't yearn for it.

" What is it ?" I asked , finally getting myself together. Penny was tortuously quiet for a whole minute. The bitch was playing with me, torturing my sense of smell and my need for the ... blood. I could almost hear the smile on her lips when she finally talked.

" Pledge allegiance to me . You must not betray me when the rest of my family come for you . You must kill them all. Even Jude." There was no other option. I didn't want to die but then again I loved him.
A shaky hand reached out to grasp nothingness.  I needed my sustenance. " Okay. "
