To say that it has been the longest night of my immortal life, is most definitely true. Anastasia was turned only but a few twenty one hours ago, she has not stirred since she drank from me, but Edward has assured me that she is still very much living, not living as a mortal anymore, but she has now become part of our dark world. Dark depending from whose point of view you look at.

One point of view that will not be the same, is the one of Anastasia's when she finds out that I am her Maker. But I fear that when she awakes her craving for blood will be greater than even before. Then this begs the question, does she feed off Edward or do we deceive her once more? One thing I do know, she is going to require the guidance of a vampire to show her through this change. Whom will I allow to be her teacher while I am unable to?

So I have called a meeting with Edward and Lilith to discuss this very matter. However we shall conduct such meeting outside Anastasia's home in the event that she wakes and Edward is not there. Eva, whom should be scared beyond believe, has taken this all quite well. I must say that she is indeed a good friend to have.

We are all standing outside, including Breyden, in the cold evening air. I am the first to speak as in the end my decision is the only that matters. "Edward my selfishness is going to require you to deceive Anastasia again. As her Master and Maker, she shall only drink from me."

"I fully understand Sebastian, but how long can we keep up the facade."

"For as long as it is required. I am afraid, and as do you know, that your blood will not taste the same as mine."

I pause for a moment to consider our options. "We shall continue to tell her not to open her eyes until she is strong enough to be taken on her first hunt."

"My dear brother," Lilith steps closer and reaches for my hand. "You do know the consequences of this deception? Anastasia already is beyond mad for what you have done."

As soon as the words escapes Lilith's lips, she realizes her error, I deepen my voice and show my visible anger. "I need not remind you of your place. What I say is rule and will remain so until I no longer walk this earth or any other world beyond that."

"I beg your forgiveness my Master, I am only concerned." Lilith takes her side next to Edward and refrains from speaking any further.

After a few minutes of silence, I come to my decision. "Edward, Anastasia sees you as a protector. You shall guide her only when it is necessary through this early times of her vampire life. I shall remain lurking in the shadows to look after her."

Edward steps forward and comes to put his reassuring hand on my shoulder. "I shall not let you down Sebastian. I shall do whatever you say," but he pauses for a moment. "Anastasia wishes for me not to tell you though."

I don't know what I was thinking, did I truly think that she will trust to reveal such information to me. Well it seems to me that our relationship has already started off on a lie. For she shall not know she drank from me and she shall think that I do not know.

"If that is how it should be then it shall." My words leaves me defeated but it shall not discourage me, after all, we have only but forever to find our way back to each other.

Edward makes his leave to attend to Anastasia again. Not long after he returns with the news I have been waiting for this past dreadful day. "Sebastian she is awake and she is hungry. You should come at once, she is a bit...kranky".

I cannot help but laugh at him. "She is yet so young, I think she is going to be a difficult one."

Under the darkness of the night we shall once again deceive her, following it the same way as we did the night before. I shall wait outside and only enter when she is ready. This does break me into pieces though, this should be a glorious experience for us both. Yet we are secretly and might I add, most stubbornly doing this on our own.

It only takes Edward but a few minutes before he signals me to go inside. She is laying in the very spot I left her only but a few hours ago. Her face that was so pale, has it's soft rose colour again. She has come through this rather well. It seems that my beloved is going to be a strong one. I do hope she does forgive me for my mistake, for I do not know what I shall do if I am apart from her for longer than I should.

As we have done before, I prick the tip of my fangs into my skin, then I let the drops off blood fall freely onto her tongue. This time she is a bit more stronger than before, as she drinks with more intent this time around. Her fangs are firmly nestled deep within my skin. I can feel the blood leaving my veins with great force. Edward notices that she is drinking too strongly and gestures to me if he should tell her to stop, but I only shake my head and let her carry on.

Then the most bizarre thing happens, she mumbles something underneath her breath, but clear enough to hear what she says. The unmistakable words leaves her lips, "Sebastian."

This catches me completely off guard. Does she, in this very moment truly think of me? The thought of it gives me a pleasure that I find hard to explain. I smile and feel assured that my beloved will be mine again.

...Anastasia...

So I made the decision to become one of Sebastian's kind. Why, I beg to answer the question? Well I did not want to die, so I am going to be a monster that will feed off humans for their blood. Guess I will now feel the pain that Sebastian felt that night.

Did I do this for Sebastian? There is a part of me that shall say yes, but for what exactly I do not know yet. I do not wish to know what he is going to do the day he finds out that I am a vampire. But for now this will be a deception that needs to remain unsaid.

I have just drank from Edward for the second time and I am intoxicated by the sweet taste of strawberries and cherries that is running in every glorious ounce through my fangs. I do though feel that I am creating such a bond with him that I fear Sebastian will not approve of. My yearning is still very much for him.

Then Edward stops me and I fall backwards onto the soft sheets of my bed. This time though I feel completely invigorated, like a whole new life is drawing in inches over my body. After a few minutes of wondering, I finally open my eyes. "Edward, am I going to drink from you forever?"

"I am afraid not Anastasia, maybe for once and twice more, but then I shall take you out to teach you how to feed off a human."

"Do I have to?" My eyes beg for another answer but I fear it is not the answer I am looking for.

"You shall die if you don't. You can drink the blood of an animal but it does not quite possess the same taste and power that a human's blood do."

"And the blood that they donate in hospital?"

"Too cold, please do not attempt to drink off it. And never but never feast off a dead body too."

"How many times will I be required to feed?"

"At least once a week. Now tell me how are you feeling?"

"I have never felt so good, it is like there is a powerful energy running through my veins. I do surprisingly feel that I did make the right decision."

"Then I think you are more than ready to be taken out on a prowl tomorrow night."

...Sebastian...

Edward has come to give me news on Anastasia and I must say I am delighted that she is doing so well. Tonight he will take her out on a prowl, tonight she shall feed on her very first human. I know I should not be so excited about it, but I am going to see my beloved come out of her cocoon tonight.

The nights draws ever so near again, as I once more go lurk outside of her home. I shall keep my distance and attempt to hide my scent, for I know she will recognize the deep smell of my musky cologne. It does not take them long to come outside, as she steps through the front door, I am totally blown away. If I thought she was a beauty before, what I see now is the most exquisite creature I have ever seen in both my lives. She has on a deep red satin dress that hugs all the contours of her perfect body.

Her long locks of hair is blowing freely in the night wind. But the part that sends my blood racing is those tall red stilettos. She is dressed to impress, secretly she does not know it is me she is impressing. How I do desire that it was me by her side. I know she feels a bond so strong, but she will soon realize it is not with Edward.

I keep my distance from them as they make their way into the alley. The very same one I frequent every week when I need to come feed myself. The vampires here in London know that they should not take more than they need. If they do so, they will suffer the consequences of my punishment. Anastasia, even though she is my beloved, shall be taught all these things.

I watch as a woman enters the alley, she is slowly walking her way towards them. This is the moment, this is going to be her first kill. Edward shall overpower the woman as Anastasia won't be strong enough to do it herself yet. He shall hold her victim firmly to the ground for Anastasia to feed from. She shall only take enough and not more than she needs. Her venom shall be strong enough to kill the woman, and if not Edward will finish the deed.

My eyes follow to see what happens, but what I see I could never have expected...
