The burning sensation of enamel piercing my skin was painful, more so than the wounds I had on me. I felt her drinking my blood with big gulps. Her nails dug into my skin right before she stopped herself and growled.

I closed my eyes and felt weaker. It was probably too late, or she probably drained me to get back at the fact that I put her here. Served me right. At least she would survive and Lust would be able to save her. My mind began to drift off and everything quickly turned black.

The sound of the cell door shaking awakened me. My skin felt like it was on fire. My body's convulsions were getting worse as Greed began to smile.

“It has begun human. Prepare yourself for the change.”

It felt as though my bones were being ripped out though my skin as my body’s muscles began contracting. My stomach cramped while my fingers began to bend backwards. I cried out in pain while the change continued. My teeth elongated and extended into fangs. I was unable to control my body as I bent and twisted. But soon enough, the pain began to subside as my body began to accept the change. I let out a sigh of relief. It was over. I made it through.

Suddenly, the cramping in my stomach began once more and a new pain returned like a flood.

I was being burned alive. My pale skin began to smoke. My nails grew longer and harder as I dug them into the concrete, clawing at anything to relieve the pain I felt, but nothing could stop the agony. Why would anyone voluntarily choose this?

Chastity, what have you done? Maybe I should have died because this pain was worse than death.

My eyes searched for Greed who had a finger in her mouth watching the change. “Be strong, it's almost over,” she instructed.

She continued to sit calmly beside the bars close to my body.

“Oh, I forgot to warn you, the hunger after you are turned is nearly unbearable, I'm told. I was born a vampire so I wouldn't know. That fact that you may attack anyone that comes through that door, makes all of this worth it to me. You are my sister now. Welcome to Clan Letos,” Greed said with a bit of pride.

I screamed out again in pain. It was too much for me to handle. I wrapped my arms around my body and rocked back and forth singing a song in my mind to calm my body which had gone into chaos.

After a few hours, I was able to move. I could hear things farther away, even my vision changed. My depth perception was enhanced everywhere I looked. I jumped effortlessly from the floor into a standing position when the hunger from within became too much for me to bear.

I growled as I walked toward the bars and grabbed the metal.

I had to have blood.

ChapterTwenty-Two

LUST

Istill haven't heard from Chastity and it felt like my insides were being torn to shreds. I knew Pride was not going to wait much longer for an answer. The only problem was, I wasn’t sure if we were going to get one. The way we parted left me to consider the possibility of Chastity never talking to me again and that thought burned me more than it should.

The rest of the family were just waiting on word from Pride for our next move. The humans were all fools to think capturing one of us wouldn’t be revealed, but soon they would see the power of our family.

I walked out of my room to find Ian and Pride talking. Pride shot a fast glare at me, indicating something serious was being discussed. But what? I waited for what seemed to be forever until I finally heard the door open and shut.

“What the fuck was that about, Pride? Why was Ian even here? You know I can't stand that bastard,” I snarled.

“Calm down, little brother.” Pride put a hand on my shoulder as we walked to the table. “Ian was repaying a favor. I needed information on the compound and your little human, Chastity. It would seem she has been imprisoned after being publicly beaten for being with you.”

My anger boiled as I slammed my fist on the table. I leaned back in my chair, my mind imagining my Chastity being beaten, her only crime being with a vampire.Those humans treat their own kind worse than we do.

“We will take the compound, free Greed and your little pet. Those humans should have listened to reason. Now, we will show them what Clan Letos can do,” Pride explained.

“We must kill them all, brother, leaving no one behind,” I growled, standing up. “Let's erase them off the map completely. With all of the whispering of alliances between vampires and humans, we must show that our clan is the strongest and what better way than by slaughtering hundreds?”

“I agree, little brother. At sunset, we ride. I will inform the others.” Pride placed both of his arms behind his head and leaned back in his chair.

I leaned forward onto my elbows and tapped the table in anticipation.They dared to touch my Chastity. Sunset was too far. We needed to do something now!

I grabbed my motorcycle gear and left on my bike. I made it to an abandoned building with human children gathering things off the ground. I hid the bike and dismounted, making my way over in their direction with determination. This gift I had for walking in the sun was going to serve me well today. Two men were on the roof with guns. They began firing but I increased my speed, dodging their bullets.

“Die, bloodsucker!” They yelled while emptying their magazines.

My eyes were fixated on the children. They were a distraction as the guards moved off the roofs in an attempt to save their offspring. Though I had seen human children before, a new emotion came over me, overshadowing my need for vengeance.
