Somehow, I had fallen asleep. And just like always, with sleep came the nightmares. This time, it was my sister's face that haunted me. She was reaching for me as she died, and I was reaching for her. Before we made contact, I was suddenly awake.
Cujo was wrapping a bandage around my shoulder and the herb he had already put on. How had he gotten so close without my noticing it? Stupid nightmares. I didnt jerk or say a thing; I just watched him intently. He wrapped it tight and left it.
"That should work, in the morning let me know how you feel," he told me.
I nodded as he leaned against the rock wall, pulled his cap over his eyes and dozed off. I stared up at the ceiling for a moment, feeling the herbs taking effect. I changed into a lesser vampire. This one had been a noble that I had the pleasure of killing a few years back. She had known a little too much than what was good for her.
The pain wasn't completely gone, but the soothing effect of the herbs helped keep my mind off of it. I got up and went to the mouth of the cave, and crawled up on top of the cave, onto the cool grass. Staring at the moon, I wondered what the next step would be. Where would I go? Would my new "acquaintances" follow?
Did i want them to? The vampire I had changed into was a happy go lucky vamp that hadn't experienced the tragedies of life. This form made me feel about as happy as the previous vamp had made me feel angry. In this form, I wanted friends. I wanted them to be my friends.
Shaking my head, I changed into a neutral demon I had killed just for the pleasure of it six months ago on a routine mission. My mission had been to take out some of the people that were after me, and this demon had been in my way when I had been in a particularly bad mood. This demon could keep his powers in check, so I didn't have to feel those insidious feelings.
I stayed up all night, keeping watch for the hunters should they return. I was getting a little tired, but I had an angel that would take care of that. Changing into a random angel I had the chance of meeting, I was no longer tired, in fact I had energy to burn. It was light out, the sun just peaking over the ridges. I wanted to get a move on, to wherever it was that we were going.
So, I jumped down and woke everyone up.
Continue, please! ^^
