He could only sigh as he finally let her go, as he faded into the shadows again. The next moment, he was sitting on the bed that was in the room. "That is entirely false..." He said, with a more melancholic tone. "...Would you believe me if I told you that I simply need a little... company?"

"Perhaps if you didn't murder innocent humans for your own greed you wouldn't be lonely. Perhaps if you weren't such a monster, you would have friends," Amelia said bluntly and not too sympathetically. She was still fuming over her now ruined dress. It took her weeks to make it and now it was ruined completely by that horrible vampire. And although a part of her did feel sorry for him, Amelia refused to let it show as she looked over at him.

"I refuse to believe you do not remain alone by choice: I very much believe you choose to isolate yourself. I refuse to have sympathy for a creature who ruined my dress, was very forward with me, and is very suggestive towards me. I do not appreciate being pawed," Amelia added icily as she stepped closer to him, her sword before her pointed at him.

He sighed a bit over her words. "Not so much of a monster as you will be... I will warn you now; your path will be paved in blood and ice. You will suspect everyone around you as either a vampire or a servant. You will cause needless suffering to those you seek to protect... but in spite of all that, no matter how famous you will be, no matter how much good you may perform, you will always be alone and mistrusted... much like the rest of the Hunter world nowadays.

"Do you truly wish that upon yourself...?"

"You're lying.." whispered Amelia as she looked at him, her features softening.

"It's not true.. It can't be true.. We are not like that! You're just trying to turn me against my family! You're lying!" shouted Amelia accusingly as she lunged towards him, her sword aiming straight for his chest had she not stumbled over a ripple in the rug.

He stood up and caught her into his arms. "I won't send you against your family if that is your wish.." He said calmly to her. He once again put his arms around her, though he didn't seem to be so 'foreward' with her this time. "All I ask is that you spend a little time with me... and that you offer some of your own blood. But I won't take very much; that I can promise you..." Finally, he leaned his head into her ear. "And you may just enjoy it..." He whispered with a smirk.

"Why would I give you my blood, vampire? I am here to kill you, not spend time with you or offer my blood to you. As for enjoyment, I would never enjoy such a disgraceful act," Amelia whispered as she tried to struggle from his grasp, despite the fact that her knees were buckling beneath her as his voice started to take over her thoughts once more.

"We shall see about that..." And with that, he tightened his grip around her as he lowered his head towards her neck, as he began to lick at it. In between laps, he slowly rubbed his body against hers, until he could feel her began to warm up, and that she could feel a numb, tingling sensation on her neck. Finally, he slowly sunk his fangs into her neck...

Amelia gasped as his fangs pierced her skin; not from pain, surprisingly, but from how it felt. Something was stirring within her, could it be an affect of his seductive routine? Feeling the sword slip from her hand, Amelia whispered softly, a shiver coursing through her spine as she spoke, "Stop.. I never agreed.. Vampire, I-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Amelia felt a rush of emotions; part from his movement against her, part from his fangs within her skin. A small moan escaped her lips as she gasped from his attentions to her neck.

"Vampire, please.. Stop.. Please," Amelia whispered as she felt her body lean into him. Amelia frowned as she felt her body react to him in such a way. She couldn't stop it, no matter how hard she tried.

Was this the power of a vampire? Was this what her brother was talking about? John had been right.. Amelia wasn't ready for the power of a vampire.. and now look what her insistence had gotten her into..

Despite her Father's confidence, and the confidence of her people, Amelia had fallen prey to the vampire; and now he was drinking her blood and her body was reacting in a way that showed she was receiving pleasure from it, despite what her thoughts were.

The vampire could only hum in pleasure as he continued to drink her sweet, maidenly blood. He could feel the responces her body was giving to him; perhaps he should of simply gone for this in the first place...

But as soon as he began, he finished drinking her blood, as he pulled his fangs out of her neck and licked at the wound he made, closing the bite marks with his saliva.

He then pulled back some more to where she could fully see his face, as he rather seductively licked his lips of her blood. "Do you see how pleasurable that can be now...?"

Amelia scowled as she forced her arm upwards and slapped the vampire across the face: Despite Amelia not having much control of her body yet, it was still a good slap and Amelia felt a little better as she hissed icily, "What right do you have? Do you realize what you have done? Do you ever stop to think just once about the effect your actions will cause on your victims? The families they leave behind because of you?"

Still scowling, Amelia fought back her tears; though one single tear escaped as she thought about her family.

How could she return to them like this?
She had been bitten.. She had liked being bitten.. She wanted more than just a bite.. She wanted him.. All because of his seduction brainwash..
How could she return to her family and possibly explain what happened without being accused of aiding a Vampire and being sentenced to death herself?

He rubbed his cheek as he felt the sting the slap caused. He looked a bit surprised that she did that, but upon seeing her tear, he smiled a bit.

"Come now... you wouldn't see your family again either way..." He tried to comfort her, but it came out a bit wrong for him. He cleared his throat upon that. "Why don't you sit with me for a moment..." He said, as he sat down on the couch, taking her with him because of his arm around her shoulders.

"What I mean to say is, there is a point in time where your family might be gone... either because of old age or working abroad... But that doesn't mean I forced you away from them... I have yet to put you into my service is all.." He told her.

"I never said I wished to be in your service," said Amelia defiantly, "You took me on your own terms through seduction brainwash.. I never said I wanted this life. I never said I wished to give you my blood and fall prey to your seduction for the rest of my life!"

"You might as well just finish me off now," said Amelia hopelessly, "I can never go back one way or the other because you have bitten me. I would rather die by your hands to have an honorable death in their eyes, than by the hands of my people covered in shame due to them knowing the truth."

Sighing, Amelia looked down at her torn dress and fixed the ribbon back into place to try and cover herself up as best she could. "Why were you so adamant upon taking my blood? Are you that desperate as to seduce your Hunter and drink her blood?" Amelia demanded sarcastically as she looked at him with a hard glare.

He paused for a moment, as if to consider her words. "I... suppose I was a bit rough with you... all I wanted was a companion to spend my time with... my.. friends wouldn't do that for me..." He replied.

"Then what will you do with me now? What will you do with me thirty years from now when I'm old and starting to gray? Will you feed from me now while I'm young, then off me as I start to lose your interest and you find someone younger and prettier? Oh, what a lovely life I have to look forward to," Amelia said dryly as her fingertips reached up to her neck where he had bit her; feeling the indents from his fangs.

"If you'd like..." He began. "...I could make you my slave..." Then he leaned his head towards her ear. "Just between you and me, your lifespan would be extended through our pact... you won't have to worry about growing old too soon..." He then pulled his head away. "Or if you are really sure about it, I could make you what I am now..."

"Somehow, neither option is too appealing," Amelia said dryly, "If I become your slave, I have degraded myself to doing whatever you wish, whenever you wish; and who knows what twisting things you would have me do if you had that kind of power.

"But if I were to become a vampire, like you, I would be forever a creature of whom which I have sworn to kill; a little ironic, wouldn't you say vampire?" Amelia asked sarcastically. Sighing, Amelia looked down at her lap and unstrapped her crossbow from her arm. Running her fingers over the soft wood, Amelia saw a tear fall against the bow.

Wiping her eyes, Amelia whispered softly, "Do whatever you wish with me.. I have nothing to go back to, no future ahead of me either way I look at it. If I become your slave, I am yours until I grow old or you tire of me and off me; and if I become a vampire like yourself, I will fall prey to Hunters or more of your kind who know of my name. And then when you leave me to fend for myself, I will be left alone and unwanted by the living and the dead.."

Judes noticed the tear, and sighed a bit. Then, he put his other arm around her again as he brought her closer to him. "I'll teach you not to be ashamed..." And with that, he closed his face on hers, until finally, their lips touched.

Amelia blushed as her eyes widened from his kiss. What was he doing? Why was he doing it?

Breaking the kiss, Amelia tried to push him away as she demanded, "What are you doing? You don't even know my name, nor do I know yours. Why are you kissing me? You already have me secured as your blood donor now, why are you still playing your mind games to try and keep me?

"And how could you possibly teach me to not be ashamed of either being a vampire or being a slave? I still don't see how the former helps you at all.. At least with the latter I can see where I would be of some use; but as a vampire, what could I possibly be used for?"

"Well, what if you don't truly want to be alone..?" He asked, as he tilted his head a bit.

"I am alone, aside from you," Amelia sighed as she whispered, "All I have is you now.. the seductive vampire I was sworn to kill.. Me, the only daughter of Nathanial VanHaggart.. I failed in my first mission.. What could you possibly want with me? You do not even know the first thing about me except for that I fail at killing Vampires.."

"You know little about me, either... but all I wanted was a little... companionship..." He simply replied. "Someone that I could spend my time with... You could say I was getting desperate, my brothers having left me..."

"Glad I could be their unwilling replacement," muttered Amelia sarcastically as she shot him a small glare.

Sighing, her features softening, Amelia looked up at him as she said softly, "Forgive me.. I did not mean to be rude. I really am sorry your brothers left you. I just wish I could have had a choice in the matter," Amelia said with a sigh.

"Not that I would have chosen this life to begin with," Amelia continued before deciding, "But there is nothing for me to do now. You may take me as your slave or a vampire, it is your choice. You know the pros and cons of the former and the latter far better than I do.. Just please know, I will never drink from a human," Amelia warned softly as she looked up into his eyes, "So what is your decision? What shall be my fate?"

He thought about this for a moment.

"I shall make you my slave then. Not that I will force you to do my bidding, mind you.. just that we will undergo more of a 'contract'; shelter in exchange for company and blood. I will also promise that when the time comes, I will send you on your way so that you may spend the rest of your years however you'd wish.." He explained with a nod.

Amelia sighed as she looked up at him, "Vampire. By then I shall only wish to remain in your service for as long as I can for you will be the only family I have.. So either way, you are stuck with me now until I die I'm afraid."

Turning to face him, Amelia inquired softly, "How does one enter the contract to be a slave to a vampire?"

"Since we will now be together, I should introduce myself as Judes.." He told her. Then he brought his wrist to his mouth as he bit on the skin. "You only need to drink from my blood, as I have already done yours, for the contract to complete..." With that, he brought his wrist to where it was close to her mouth.
