Kai picked himself up off the ground, slowly. He'd noticed the change in power, and he couldn't say he was displeased. His eyes glittered.

"Dual personalities?" he suggested. "Who are you? What are you?"

Emily turned. " Emily is my name. And this is my inner form. The real vampire inside of her. I am the vampire you loved " She said her silver hair flowing in the wind and the moon came up

Kai grinned, baring his fangs in perhaps the first real smile he'd given since being turned. His eyes studied her form, calculating. "So she really is--or rather you are a vampire after all. Why did you choose to turn me instead of kill me?"

Emily grinned " my other body/spirit is different. It is based on love, friendship and many other nice things. Nobody mumbled anything about something so I couldn't come out. But my question is why were you always trying to kiss me? You love was fake "

Kai narrowed his eyes at her, weighing his options. He crossed his arms. "You're right." He said, feeling a slightly more malicious desire cross through him. It was new, different, but it felt good.

"Maybe I was toying with her emotions. She is just a girl after all. She doesn't know what she wants. I'm surprised you manage to exist within her at all. But then they always say that those you least suspect have a hidden side to them."

Emily nodded her head. Kai's crystal glowed and Emily fell to the ground. Her hair turned purple and her body turned normal. She fell into the ground.

Kai caught her before she actually fell; sweeping her off her feet. If she punched him now, though, there was no way to block except with his face. He hoped she wouldn't punch him.

"Alrighty, Emily, let's get you some blood. Since I have a feeling you're going to need it. As am I..." he muttered, still feeling the sting of holy water against his flesh from his wet shirt.

Emily opened her eyes to see her love. " You saw her didn't you " She said before looking at his shirt. " We need to get that off " She grabbed his shirt and took it off. Her hands made sizzling noises but she ignored it. She put it in water before jumping back. She turned to him " You dont love me anymore? Do you? "

Kai met Emily's eyes. "I did see her, but she's not the one I first fell in love with. Nor is she the one who saved me from despair and loneliness. She isn't you, Emily."

Emily looked " she is me. I heard everything you said. " she said tears forming in her eyes

Kai sighed and ran a hand through his short hair. So she'd heard that; he'd half suspected anyway. "I don't lie, Emily. I can't be positive that I love you because...I'm still adjusting to the fact that when I'm hungry, I'm going to kill someone. That my only friends are also going to be my competition and possibly my downfall. I'm not sure that love can exist in this state. I'm not sure I can exist in this state."

He thought back to her change. "Besides; your other you is terrifying. I much prefer this softer side of you."

Emily turned away tears running from her eyes " I guess you dont want love "

( bump, bump )

(sorry, was trying to figure out Kai's response...)

Kai stretched his hand out to brush away Emily's tears. "I never meant to hurt you, Emily." His voice was earnest, if bitter. "I never meant to hurt anyone."

He withdrew his hand to look at it. It looked no different than normal. Yet he had a pair of fangs to disprove his normalcy.

( its alright )

Emily looked at him. Her eyes looking at him searching for an answer. She then grabbed his hand back and looked at him " I-I Never meant for you to see me like this. I should have listened to what else my father said "

"What else did your father say?" Kai asked, unsure if he should pursue this line of thought. But then he had already upset Emily...so he had nothing to lose there. Maybe he could redeem himself; though that would remain to be seen.

Emily looked at him " he told me about who I needed to look for and you fitted in. And then it's said about how I would turn the boy into a vampire but.... I can't say this come on " she stood up and then tripped into his arms

Kai caught her before she could fall, but there had been a nasty pause when she had cut herself off.

"But what?" Kai pressed. "If it concerns me, I think I ought to know about it beforehand. I won't get mad. I promise."

Emily sighed " Follow me " She grabbed his hand and walked through out the streets. She got to her old house that was almost completly rocks. She walked into a small place that still had a big roof on it and open space. She pushed the rocks away and grabbed a notebook. She hestitated it and gave it to him " its everything my father ever wrote. Inclouding her " She said looking down

"Her?" Confusion crossed his face before he realized Emily meant her other self. He looked down at the notebook in his hands. "You don't have to do this, Emily." He tried to hand the notebook back to her. "I don't want to pry any deeper than you're comfortable telling me. It pleases me though that you would allow me to read it...but I'd rather it hear it from you."
