The screams! The screams they hurt her so. Holding her head she tossed and turned in her sleep. Shaking her head over and over she closed her eyes tighter as she sobbed, cried out, and then screamed. There was a roll larger then any other that landed her on the floor of the room.

Coughing erupted as she quivered, held onto her chest as she shook. Eyes wide open as she took pained breaths. There was a sob on her lips as she shook her head again weakly. Those hues shut tightly as she coughed again. Holding her head she whimpered again as she whispered," No more. No more. Stop it!"

That night, that deadly night. It was burned in her head and she couldn't get it out. This was the result she got for working herself. She didn't sleep until she couldn't stay awake any longer. This was her way. Work, work, work, nothing but her work as she tried to avoid her dreams. Yet she was very much awake now. Quaking in pain and fear.

There wouldn't be sleep. These memories were far to much. This was when she went back to work, doing all she could, all she would, all she pleased.

It was coming. Soon. Rachel knew it happened after every nightmare. The demon would break out from her like a fire, a plague, but she couldn't let anyone see it. This was her pain, this was her torment. Her body ached with it. If she had worked harder this last time, it wouldn't have been so powerful, so painful.

She was huddled in a ball, the bath room door locked. The key shoved under the door and to the opposite end of the bed room floor where it ended with a clink. She wasn't getting out. This was why she chose an inner bath room. No window, strong door. She had already reinforced it. The monster wasn't getting out.

Holding her head she hit the back of the tiled wall with her skull. The screams were getting louder. The beast was coming. This wasn't what she wanted Gabriel to see. Shifting tighter into a ball she started to growl. The air was growing more feral.

Eyes peeked up from over her knees as they burned a blazing red. The monster. The vampire she hated to be. This wasn't what she wanted anyone to see. She just wanted to be a human. So she posed as one. She just wanted to be human.

He was in the training room. He was destroying the punching bag. He was purely upset. He had to get that out of his mind. ALl that happened to him. Him killing his...No..He must forget. He has to for her. Why cant he get this out of his head!

He broke the punching bag adn roared as hard and as loud as he could. He went for something harder to fight. The metal Fighting dummy. He was slamming his fists and feet into it as he trained.

BLood staining the dummy. He was punishing himself. Did he cause fear in her. DId he cause all the wrongs in her life. Sure he may not have caused some...but...He blamed himself for everything that happened to her.

Rachel was sitting back in the bathroom. Now windows, no opening, she was shaking. The thrist for blood driving her mad. Shaking her head over and over she pushed back the screams rushing through her head. Her own screams. Whimpering she held her head with one of her hands she brought the other one to her lips and clamped her fangs over it.

Blood dripping down her throat she growled. This blood wouldn't do it. The screams were just getting louder with the memory her blood provided. Shaking her head she felt like she was going to get sick, but she wasn't. She was reliving it. Reliving it all.

"Svp ! Non ! Pas !" Rachel was wearing a rather midieval gown as she gasped. She was trying to push a man off of her as he towered over her. He was smirking darkly, fangs glimoring in the night.

His lips parted as he dark voice came out errily calm," Fermez-vous petite putain." Hand was gripping at her arm as the other one was brushing over her neck tenderly, pushing away her hair.

Tears were in the much younger Rachel as she screamed and sobbed for help. A hand was cupped out over her mouth, but her screams still shattered through. There was a moment where everything went dark, she was still thrashing and screaming before she was in someone's arms, weak, dying. The french woman was drained.

"Benjamin, save her... Give her the drink." A man, she couldn't see who. Another man was standing over her, holding out his wrist? She then tasted something, blood, she couldn't stop herself she saught after that taste as she drank slowly. More and more blood filled her gut. She was one of them now.

Rachel was now colapsed on the bathroom floor as that memory replayed in her head. Tears of blood were streaming down her face. Blood was dripping from her hands as she swallowed. Eyes were closed as she swallowed softly. There was even a crimson streak running from the corner of her mouth. Fangs exposed slightly as she whispered," Gabriel... Gabriel... Please... I need you..."

The vampire was pleading for him. He had been the only one who had cared for her. Kept her safe, even the ones who had kept her "alive" used her then tried to despose of her. Fear was in her heart about letting him so close. She didn't want him to go. She didn't want him to leave too.

Finger twitched slightly. Rachel was weak. Very weak... She needed blood.

He suddenly got a sinking feeling. And as if a loud whistle came from nowhere. He was running as hard as he could for Rachel's room. Into the bathroom that she was in. He lunged throught the door and over to her. He pushed up the bandages and pressed his arm to her lips.

He knew what had happened...She had no need for him to fear her...He feared himself. And he wouldnt let it take him any more. He held her and left his arm there...Letting the blood run over her lips and down her throat.

He was scared..scared of losing her. She had just came back into his life and he wasnt about to let her leave so easily...He would fight and or die to be wit her. This was a promise.

"Rachel please dont leave me..."

The whistle... Where had it come from..? She couldn't see or think she was so lost and confused. Looking up at Gabriel as she watched him scoop her into his arms she soon felt the blood trailing down her throat. Closing her eyes more tears of blood fell down her cheeks.

"Merci mon amour. Merci Gabriel. Je ne vais pas vous laisser. Je ne veux pas aller." Then she drank slowly. Taking up every drop he was willing to offer. Her hands were still shaking as she gripped to his shirt lightly. Eyes closed she kept her thirst under control. Drinking slowly, softly.
