Hyaku had finally agreed to change me, and I was thrilled by this fact as he walked over to me, biting his thumb. "This might Hurt a bit," he said.
As he put his stained thumb against my forehead, he ran an intricate circle over my forehead. I couldn't see what was happening, but I could feel the blood against my cool skin. I flinched as a jolt of pain starting at my temples shot up. A bright glow appeared; I knew this because I could see the reflecting light from Hyaku's eyes.
Pain shot up again, forcing me to shut my eyes and try to shake it off, but blackness was taking over me, and I didn't have a choice but to succumb to it. Images and visions of my human life were flooding in my head. Most of the visions were not happy ones.
They started off nice, with the few peaceful times I had with my parents and baby sister. I could see the day we had all gone out together as a family, enjoying the company of each other. I remembered the day my dad was wrestling on the floor with my sister and myself, my other watching over us, a smile on her perfect face.
Then, the images cut forward, and I relived my life after my family's untimely death. The time before the tavern found me was not a good time in my life. I had nearly committed suicide twice, and I was an unhappy, depressed person all around.
Then, Juki had found me and trained me in the ways of pleasing a man. Rape, violence, torment, harassment were all things that I faced at the tavern, but it was what I had become accustomed to. Luckily, Hyaku had gotten me out of there, so I was very thankful.
Then the pain settled into my entire body. I could feel it coursing through my entire body. It was no longer just in my head. I could hear voices, but I couldn't understand what was being said, and it came in intervals.
Where was I? Why was I surrounded by a never ending darkness? Would I be able to get out of this? Where was Hyaku? Wait... That was his voice, he was speaking to me, though I still was unable to make out the words over the pounding of my head.
I fought with my body and mind. I wanted to see him again, to wake up from this eternal torment. Using the only strength I could muster, I opened my eyes, staring up into the most gorgeous blue eyes I had ever seen. I felt my lips curl into a smile.
