In The Dark1111

Mothers were supposed to love unconditionally. Mine didn't. In fact, she tried to kill me on my thirteenth birthday, when she saw just how different I was. My dad saved my life that night. He also took her away on an extended vacation, leaving me with an ever-absent uncle. Five years later, solitude was something I lived by. I had to because I was different and people tended not to cope well with the unusual. In fact, they hated me for it, were even scared of me because of it. I thought I was meant to live alone, until Isaac Grey took notice of me. He changed my life, taught me I wasn't the only one who was different, and I didn't need to be alone. But with love comes sacrifice and then pain. Could I ever escape living in the dark?

Chapter Twelve: Meeting Gregory

The transformation left me utterly exhausted. I wasn't used to changing so fast in the first place and then altering back in such a short amount of time.

Curled up in a ball on the tiled floor, I shivered. I wanted to move, to go to the toilet and throw up, hoping it would help me feel better. Then it hit me, the other reason I wasn't coping. The vampire blood. It was still working its way out of my system.

The thought of it, of the foul taste it had left, made me move. I crawled my way to the toilet just in time for it to come up.

There was a knock at the door and Isaac's concerned voice called out, "Leila, are you okay? Sorry, silly of me to ask. I know you're not, but do you need help?"

As nice as it was for him to ask, I couldn't answer. Still, I managed a moan between heaves and prayed he didn't take it as an affirmative for him come in. If he did, it'd embarrass the hell out of me because I was naked and bent over a toilet in his house, puking my guts up.
