Droplets sliding down the ridge of metal, slithering it's way down to it's destination. Closer and closer it gets twords the edge or metal and air meet. It slings to the brim and it's grip losining on the smooth edge of metal. Slowly loses its grip nearing its dreadful fall to the oblivion below. the droplets grip faltered, failed, it's hurlting twordes the masive oblivion below, silent crys for help aren't heard. closer and closer the drop hurtles. splashes on icy flesh of a mans cheek. his closed eyes skrunches, wrinkles forming, then his eyes opened, blinking then searching his soroundings. sudenly a flash of memory appeared. maria in the pooring rainfalling to her knees, vary weakend, the slowly she falls to her side, her face shows no emotion, no movment, just stairing at him. she she falls and colapses to the ground. the man sitting upquickly pushing him self from the well bedded matress, yelling out, " maria!!... maria!" looking around the strang looking room he layed in. a sharp pain surged through his hole body, making him wince in pain, making him fall back onto the bed. the door swings open, a person runs in and paints, stopping right by the man, marias big brother, asking him, " are you ok, sir? i heard you yell..." the boy painting as the man looked over his face squinting a bit becouse of the pain, the man saying with slight pain, " where am i? ... wheres my sister maria?" the man trys to sit up, but the boy pushes him downn gently, " no, you should stay down, your in no condition in getting up, sir. and your sister is in the other room, i'm adraid she hasn't woken up yet..." the mans eyes shot wide open, " i need to see her!... i need to see maria!..." he pushes himself up growning. ".. i need ... to see my... sister!.." pushing himself to get up, the boy trying to keep him from getting up. " sir, your ganna hurt your self, your injorys are vary bad, you need to lay. you'll kill yor self!" the man just keeps on going, pushing the boy out of jis way, he stands up sheepishly, stars making his way to the way out, limping. " maria1.. where are you?!" the man checking every door he comes across to finding his sister. he opens up the last door in the hall way and finds maria, laying motionless, no emotion on her face, just blank as it could ever be. her brother walking close to her, " maria..." saying softly as if trying not to wake her. he gets close to her bed side, the boy comes in through the door fallowing after him. her brother taking her hand and holds her hand and lays his other one over the top of them. stairing at his sister, hoping she'll wake up any secound,, but she's just lying there, motionless, no expretion, no emotions, no nothing, just a body of what he known as his little sister named maria. he whispers, ".. i'm so sorry maria... i didn't mean for this to happen.. little sis... please wake up? ... wake .. up.. please wake .. up?" tears star to run down his face, laying his head down, morning for his sister, wanting her to wake up. wanting to hear her sweet voice, wanting to see her loving smile again, wanting to hear her say, " i love you, big brother. your the best." the blanket getting wet with his tears, " sis, wake up.. i need you... your the only family i have left...please.. wake up!" he continues sobing sarrow filled tears, wishing for the little life to perspire in maria to wake from her slumber of life and death, or to waken her from her already dead body. the boy walked in closer to him as his head lay on the bed of tears, " .. are you ok, sir?" he contiously places a hand on his shaking shoulder, " shes going to be ok, she just.." marias brother pushes his arm away, off of his shoulder, standing up, towering over the boy, " you don't know that!... what i've done to her, could have been fatel! and the looks of her like this... is fatel..., " barring his long fangs to the boy, wrinkling his nose, with an angery glow in his eyes. the boy staired at the sight of his fangs, he didn't realize that what he brung into his house was the enomy, " .. hey take it .. it easy, sir.. i don't mean any harm" the vampire closing in on the boy with a limp in his step. the boy backing away trying not to get caught by his enomy. backing him into a corner no where left to go, traped like a rat. a person walked in through the door with a tray. it was middle aged man, in his mid 30's or 40's, his hair black and short, glasses rest on the bridge of his nose. " i'm back with..." his gaze switched to the man that trapped the boy in the corner. the man dropped th tray and ran behind marias brother. ' get away from my son you fiend!" the man pulled out a cross and pushed it onto the back of him. the vampire arching his back and gave out an ear piercing shreak. he franticlly trys to pull off the cross that stuck to the back of him. finally he toke off his shirt, allowing him to remove the cross from his back. throwing it to the side, now his back has an engraved scare on his back of a cross. when he turned around faceing the man with a glare of rage. his chast scared and stitches holding his recent wounds together. it wasn't any suprise to either one of them to see, they saw him before, they stitched his wounds. the man said trying to stop the pursuder, "why do you attack us? we saved your life, thoughs stitches, we did that..." the vampires glare softened a bit, why, he thought, why would you help a vampire? the vampire looked away to the girl that still lay in the bed, unmoved. his glare returned to the man and child. maybe these humans can bring maria back.

"bring life to maria, and i may spare your lives..." the vampire spoke harshly, " .. till then, your safe ... for now." the bot now hiding behind his father, his father nerves frooze, he brought himself to talk, " my son and i was already going to nurture her back to life... like we did to you..." he said reasuring, as the boy smiled and noded," she should be awake in a few days or less." the vampire looked back at them with vary little rage now, but still thought, they better watch themselves, once gets better we are leaving... he switched his gaze to maria, then he looked away, pulling her gaze away from her and started to walk out of the room, then disappeared without a word.

the father walked over to the tray that lays on the ground, knealing down and replacing every dish back on the tray. the boy still shacken from the event that passed not to long ago, went over to maria to check out her pulse and stats, ".... father?" the boy still looking at the girl on the bed side. " yes, my son?" "why are we taking care of vampires?"
"well becouse, even though they are a threat to us, they were injured and in need of help," he looked over at the boy, "and if you treat them how you want to be treated, then they may do the same." the boy looked over and forced a smile, and thoaght, "we are sooo toast."

the vampire that left the room is now in the room that he woke up in. he walked over to a chair and sat down in it the table next to him has all of his belongings on it, his rifle, dog tags, magazines for his rifle, down to a few photos. he picked up the photos and looked through them, one of them had maria and him in a green vally and a cottage in the background where they used to live before all this had happened, and the other, it's a picture of the family, mother, father, grandma and grandpa, him and maria. "... i will avange you all my bretheren and sisteren..." he whispered bering his fangs, "i will stop you tai zong... i sware my life on it." he slamed his fist on the table, studering a girl about his age, she's out side of the door and spying on him, or edmiring him. the vampire stood up from his seat, while walking from the seat to his bedhe thought, "maria... get well, sisteren... sorry for my damage i gave to you." ignoring the sent of human and lays down on the bed. "i'm sorry..." he spoke, a tear excaping his eye. the girl noticed the tear, but it was an odd color even for a human, " is he crying blood?" the girl questioned her self, watching him unknowing he knows her presence. he whispered a little lalaby to himself, seeming like it's calming him down. "as i gave you damage, i'll give my own sin to my self in your sack..."

"forgive me, maria." he unfolds a pocket knife and he digs the knife down into his wrist. the girl looked is shock, but she shock her self and ran in through the door. "no! stop!.. don't do that to your self." the mans eyes shot open to look at the human that finally shown herself. she stopped over by the bed side and reaches for the weapon. he snatched it away before she could grab it, her handgrabed his bloody wrist." what are you doing here, human?" he said half aggressivly. the girl gasped when her atempt of need failed she didn't speak, just staired at the blood." i asked what are you doing here?" she didn't flinch, she just staired, her gaze becoming more lustful. "blood... musn't give in" she thought to herself, then finaly she pulled away, her hand covered in blood, studering, " i.. i.. was trying to stop you... from hurting yourself," she looked on his wrist," i.. guess i didn't, di i?" she blushed. the man staired at her for a secound before he said," leave now, human. you have no purpose in this room to fulfill.." she was stunned, but then relaxes closing the door behind her, she leans her back up against the door. she stairs at her hand now cover with a red liquid. she licks the blood off of her hand. "well atleast i didn't give myself away. thought he'd sence that i wasn't human... gues the potion worked. she thought as she walked down the hallway going twords the exit.
