When I wake up in the morning I had forgotten about yesterday's events for a breif moment. When I look around, Leo isn't in the room. I walked downstairs looking for the kitchen. I find the dinning room instead, with food and Leo at the table.

"My mom had to leave, and my dad still isn't back yet. After we eat we can play games, watch a movie, or I can read to you." He sounds so genuine, it remines me of brother.

Brother was always so kind, always giving me compliments and saying that he loved me. He was very kind and told me that he would find me after we seperated. That he would never let me go, and that no one would hurt me. The memory brings me to tears but I was too dizzy to realize.

"Hey Anastasia? Are you ok?" He looked at me very concerned. I don't understand what was going on.

"I'm fine." The minute I say those words everything starts spinning. I get up in hopes that is would help; my hope was in vain. I attempted to get out of the chair, but fell instead. Then everything went black.

(Leo's Perspective)

I asked her if she was ok, then she hit the ground. Mom isn't home, Dad went on a business trip, and Anastasia is bleeding. I could call the maid but I am the only one who can withstand the sight of blood. I hear someone running towards me. "Leo what happened? Who is bleeding?" The maid is yelling from behind and closed door.

"Call my sister, please I need her." I scream, half about to cry and half angry.

"You know I can't go in there! Tell me what happened." She pleads.

"CALL HER NOW!!" I scream, the tears comming to my eyes.

The maid dials the number then slides it under the door to me. When I look at it its on speaker and dialing.

"Yes Rachel what do you need?" April answers, obviously annoyed.

"April, I need help. The girl Jack and Luke brought just collapsed and hit her head. She is bleeding and I don't know what to do." I am crying, I never asked her for anything. She is a doctor, she stopped living at home when me staying here became finalized. She had called me a demon and said I was incapable of loving. She told me that is the reason my mom died. Even though that was one year ago I still remember it vividly. She didn't want me, so I tried not to get close, but now I needed her.

"Jack and Luke brought a girl? Wait that's not important. Is her head bleeding? Do you know how much blood she lost? I can get there in a few minutes." She sounds worried, I can hear her rushing and yelling at someone saying she had a family ememrgency.

I looked down, "She has lost alot it looks like." I kneel down and pick up her head, the red blood is gushing out of the wound. "Yeah, her head is bleeding. What do I do?"

"Try to stop the bleeding if you can. And try not to move her. And DO NOT let anyone else near her."

I jumped up and looked for a thing that I could use to cover her head. There was nothing. And for some reason the smell of her blood was very enticing to me. I walked back over to her and found the open wound. My body told me to lick it, told me to save her. It was too much, before I realized it I was already licking the wound. My tounge swept across the rough surface of her hair, the warm blood tasted sweet. When I realized what I was doing, my tounge was already at the end of the wound. I got up and walked away. I grabbed the mop from the closet and the bucket from under the sink. I had went back to Anastasia, she still was on the ground. I hadn't realized that April was yelling.

"LEO!! HELLO?? IS EVERYTHING OK?" I could hear the fear in her voice.

"Sorry, I zoned out things are ok." I don't really know what else to say.

"Ok, I'm out side now. The door code is the same right?" I hear her car door close.

"Yeah, it's the same. We are in the dinning room." I hear the door open, then her running down the hall. She ends the call and enters the door a minute later.

April ran towards us, she was worried. "There is too much blood. You're gonna need to pick her up and take her to the bathroom. Do not move her head." April keeps looking at the blood, then at me.

I walk over to Anastasia, I put her head on my shoulder and then move her up my arm as i grab her legs. I didn't think I could carry her, but me and April walk to the bathroom across from my room.

"Ok, set her down on the chair and go clean up her blood." April looked apprehensive, and scared.

I ran downstairs and started cleaning the blood. I had to add a fragrance concealer to ensure the smell wouldn't linger on. After I had gotten all the blood cleaned up I went upstairs. When I had gone up April was washing Anastasia's hair.

"I thought you said not to move her head?" I don't understand.

"You did something to her didn't you? All that blood on the floor, and in her hair, but somehow no wound." April looks at me confused and worried.

"Well there was, and I did accidentally lick the wound." I feel ashamed, but what does she mean by no wound. I walked over and look at her head. In the spot that had the wound was nothing but a scar that was fading quickly. Within seconds there was no scar, no evidence of a wound.

"You licked her? Oh my..." She looks at me saying nothing. "Do you remember your father?" I shake my head. "Well he isn't himan, and apparently you aren't fully either. You are the only one who can withstand the sight of blood because your mom was human. She was murdered because she hid and protected you. We are not siblings but cousins, my mom is your Dad's sister. She knew that you were different. And I'm not supposed to tell you this, but Luke is your half brother. When his girlfriend died, he went to her brother from comfort. Your Dad told him he needed to stop, because if he didn't, bad things would happen. The day she died is the same day you were born. Luke is older than me and chooses not to visit. My brother is afraid of you. We are not human, you are half, and somehow Luke is human. Mom needed you to be around humans because you were detached. She was scared of losing the last thing her brother left when he vanished. And I will be honest with you, she wasn't supposed to come here. She could get away. Leo..." April is crying, "She was supposed to be sold like her brother. Shew was supposed to be a toy to others. She has a few older brothers but the girls are more valuable then the boys. Her parents planned to kill her, but her other other brother got sold that day. The man had told him about the need for girls. I heard that the woman who bought her brother had a daughter and a son. I don't know why. But now both parents are dead. And I can only find records of one boy alive. If she lost too much blood we can't use families. If we use your blood it could change her. Would you be willing to risk her that?"

"I don't know. I don't want to risk her huanity, but i don't want her to die." For the second time today, and the third time in my life, I cried.

April looked at me, I believe she could feel my pain. "I'm gonna move her to your room. If she wakes up within the next... lets say 6 hours, call me. If she doesn't wake up by midnight tell me."

"Ok." I go over and pick her up, we walk into my room. I put her on the side of the bed where she had fallen asleep last night.

"Why don't you put her in her bed?" She looks at me confused.

"She was crying last night and I wanted to help her. I let her sleep I went and looked for mom. Dad had called and said he was going on a trip with the company and that they were forcing him to go. Mom had left a note saying she would be back soon. That was around 7 last night. She still hasn't come back." I'm worried about what could happen if she doesn't wake up.

"Well I gotta go to work, please don't leave her alone. Also do you think of me as your sister?" I nod keeping my head down. "Do you hate me?"

I keep looking down. "I don't hate you, you're just not around much. I thought you hated me so I never tried to get close. When she fell it didn't matter to me if you hated me, I didn't wan't to lose her. I didn't want to feel alone again." I couldn't stop crying, or thinking of what I would do.

I wasn't inlove with her, I just didn't want to be alone. For some reason she made me feel safe. I wanted to protect her, I still do. I don't want her to get hurt or leave. If that means I love her, then she will never know.

April got up and hugged me, "I don't hate you brother. But I gotta go. I'll call Luke or Jack and see if one of them can help you." After that she left.

A few minutes later, there was scratching going down the halls. I didn't understand what the noise was. I heard the maid at the bottom of the stairs, first she was yelling. I couldn't hear what, then the scratching got louder and she screamed.

Then underneath the door came a black smoke. "Don't make a noise, he will not hurt you for now. She is safe as long as you are with her. Please don't be afraid. You remember me, do you not?"

I do remember the voice, the shape the smoke took. Its the same as a when my mother had died. It came into the area where I was hiding, it tried to comfort me. I remained silent, even though on the otherside of the wall I could smell blood.

"She is not in danger, the other half of your brother has no intrest in her. He is the darker half of your brother. Please do talk to him, your brother will not accept him. That is how he remains human. The darker half stays here while your brother stays away. Please do talk to him, he needs to be accepted by someone. Otherwise he will run rampant and kill. You must acknowledge who you love, only then will they be truely safe."

The black smoke had receeded behind the door. The scratching came back, then there was a hit on the door. A loud screaming noise happened after, then another hit, and the otherside of the door nob had came off. A loud ring had gone after and down the hall something made a sound. The door was pushed upen by something after the drop. There was a white bony hand sticking out from behind the frame. There was another crashing noise down the hall, and something had moved across the top of the door.

I was crying, trying to keep silent. I didn't know what to do. I don't want to acknowledge anything. I don't understand what the voice was talking about when he said that it's my brothers other half. And what is going on here. "Why... Why..." I whisper trying to make sense of things. I don't understand any of it. "Why is this happening? Why am I different? Why didn't anyone tell me?" I whisper crying, sobbing and making more noise then I wanted.

"Please don't cry, don't ask why. It wasn't yet time to tell you." His voice is strange, it sounds eerie and terrifying. "Please don't fear me, I have no intention of hurting you."

I couldn't look up, I couldn't move. I stayed in place shocked and spooked. I was afraid and confused.
