Wow this guy even looks like a mad scientist. I glanced at Kaden who looked anything but pleased.

"Pet...are you sure?"

I looked around at the dank space where my entire existence would change, nearly cringing when I noticed the old rusted chains on the wall not too far from the medical table. "I am sure."

At least I think I am.

The scientist smiled at me, "Calla correct?"

I nodded desperately wanting to reach out to Kaden but restrained myself.

The good doctor didn't know why we wanted me changed.

He grinned, flashing his fangs, "good good, I am doctor Hoover. I will be aiding your transition into vampirism! and lucky you the blood sample I was given for the procedure was from your master, a strong sample from a good lineage makes the process much easier and boots your survival chances."

I looked up at Kaden wide eyed, I had no idea he had done that.

Kaden on the other hand paid me no mind as he was glaring at the doctor, "Enough with the small talk you know our agreement."

The doctors smile faltered, "ah yes..this beautiful creature is my last chance to prove myself brilliant, you see the benefit of my work well enough to donate your pet to the cause."

Wow that sounds creepy.

"..Now I belive we need to decide what it is we will be changing, I was thinking perhaps making her heart still beat."

Kaden made a strange outraged sound, "I will not risk such a thing."

"Immunity to sun-"

"No. Something small, you do that and I will bring you a new subject."

That was a lie, a total lie but the doctor didn't need to know it.

Dr. Hoover didnt seem very happy but nodded, "Of course m'lord How about we see if we can make Calla here fangless?"

I answered before Kaden could, "No!..no I want my fangs."

I need them to bite Kaden to show everyone he's mine as I am his, to show my love for him in the way vampires do.

The doctor looked a bit puzzled but nodded none the less, "Lord Dawson I am afraid as standard procedure dictates I must speak to Calla alone for a few moments."

Kadens brows furrowed, "we have yet to decide what we are going to have altered. Remember doctor we will be watching you, we will know if you try to pull something."

Kaden, Aldric, and Donovan would be taking shifts to watch over me, each of them had furiously studied the evidence on the doctors work so they know what each experiment would look like if he tried.

I smiled at Kaden as a way to let him know it was okay.

He hesitated a moment but left the room.

Turning to the doctor I smiled a bit, "whats up?"

Doctor Hoover smiled back, "I just have a few questions."

"Ask away. I just want to get this done you know?"

He nodded, "have you ever considered vampirism before?"

"A few months ago. Yeah. Obviously didn't have the means though."

"Very good. Any past heart problems?"

"Uh no...why does that matter if you're stopping it?"

He smiled gently, "healthier the heart the less of a chance of it stopping early."

"Oh. Okay."

"Trouble breathing ever?"

"No."

"Many cases of lightheadedness or fainting spells?"

"Nope."

"Okay...are you sexually active?"

I stared at him for a good minute, "I don't see how that matters!"

"If so I must check to make sure you are in fact not pregnant, it would severely complicate things and harm the fetus."

"I can assure you I'm not pregnant!"

He frowned at me, "so you are not sexually active?"

I went silent.

"I see, well I will need to check anyways."

"Uhm how long does that take?"

"About a day or so for verified results. Off the shelf pregnancy tests are just not reliable enough."

I bit my lip, "Doc im not pregnant."

He looked absolutely frustrated, "now now Calla I know you want to get this done but I really must be sure."

I glanced at the door, "just trust me."

He followed my gaze, "oh...oh dear. That explains quite a bit actually."

I looked to the floor.

"Any particular thing you want changed during your journey into vampirism?"

I muled it over for a moment, "something minor? I'm not really sure actually.."

"I could try and make it so you have zero need to feed on blood?"

"Uhm no...I think I'm okay with the excessive drinking that comes with being a vampire."

He looked mildly disappointed, "A second row of fangs?"

Now thats just not sexy, Kaden probably wouldn't like that, I wanted something Kaden would like. "no...thats not right"

"Lets see...ah how about we give you infrared vision?"

What the actual fuck? "Like a bat?" Isn't that kind of creepy and cliche? "has that ever worked?"

"Well yes actually."

I smiled, "great."

"Just avoid looking at curtains in daylight and too harsh of artificial lighting."

"why?"

"you will go blind then, poor things all did and went mad with the over drive of other senses and killed themselves or just went into such a state of shock and pain they starved themselves to death."

"yeah...Lets not go with infrared vision."

"hmmm okay well..ah I know! what will you miss most about being human?"

"breathing?"

"I could make your lungs-"

"No internal organ mumbo jumbo."

"What about your master what will he miss?"

I pondered it, looking around the room, gaze landing on my own reflection in a small pool of water, "My eyes...they always were his favorite thing. Said that once as a child he got a glimpse of the daytime sky and it was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seem, claims my eyes remind him of that."

"A vampire with blue eyes, darling that will make you a social leper."

I smiled mostly to myself, "yes well the lord out there was born a vampire with two shades of red in his, I think its only fair we match in flaws and I like to out do him so I think my blue will be just fine."

Hoover nodded, "very well, it shall be done. Should we inform your master?"

I shook my head, "No..No lets make it a surprise."

"very well, you may tell him he is allowed in again. its best we begin."

I never let go of Kadens hand, after man hostile glares and questions he dropped the subject of what the doctor was going to change about me, as I lie on the table nervous beyond belief.

A sharp pain in my arm as the doctor told me he was going to induce my coma and begin the procedure.

Soft, cool, lips brushed against my ear, "I love you Calla."

Everything went black.
