Home snakes home! (Leila)

Leila listened carefully and then looked up to him uneasy at his last words.

Why, why would you need to stake me in the heart? Wouldn't that turn me into ash..."

Samuel just stared at her for a few seconds with eyes fix and an awe expression in his face...

* LAUGHTER * * LAUGHTER * * LAUGHTER *

"Oh my... no dear, no... it will merely paralyse you, not destroy you" he giggles.

"Oh!"

Leila laughs out loud as well. Grateful for some comedy even if it is at her own expense.

"It's from the movies, yes."

She giggles heartily.

"Ok, ok, well isn't that a relief. So I just need to imagine that my wound is healed and so it shall be?"

She nods to him for approval and smiles while she closes her eyes. Concentrating on healing the wounds.

Leila felt relief at the healing of her wounds, but now she really knew what Samuel was talking about. She could feel the beast itching ever closer to the surface.

"Dr. Garrison? It's getting closer to the surface... that... that Beast."

Her hazel eyes shot straight up at Samuel, with the look of a lioness about to stalk its favorite prey. She didn't want it coming up again. Her hands started to shake vigorously and she closed her eyes to try and will the beast down.

"I need blood..."

Samuel waited a moment to see how Leila was holding out, eventually he said.
"I'm sure you do dear and tomorrow you will feel even more thirsty, so try to take it with calm, ok?

Now its time to get some rest, tomorrow you will feed until satiation. Be pacient"

Samuel then stands up as he was about to leave.

Leila tried to calm herself and held her hand up.

"Wait please! I need to know something, just one more thing... please."

He turns around. "Yes?"

Samuel thinks his answers for a second.
"I have a... mmm... I guess I could call him 'a friend' he is dedicated to understanding other's mind, we argued about this and he told me that vampires recover conciousness gradually as night arrives and the last moments before awakening have very lucid dreams, even as there is just a few minutes window for the mind it can be hours or more.

Still its not entirely true that you are completely dead during day, in presence of danger or harm it is likely for you to suddenly awake, its even possible to stay awake during the day with a powerful force of will. Even as there is no much point at that, since the weight of the day will limit your actions, still its possible.

As for your nightmares... if I were you I'd ask permission to Tantra, if she allows it I can take you to see Mika.

Anything else?"

Leila shook her head.

"No sir that is all for now you have been a great source for me. I thank you."

She stood up feeling the twinges of the beasts hunger arising in her, she closed her eyes a moment to fight it back once more and curtsied to him.

"Good day."

Her smile was elegant and genuine as she stood even though she dreaded falling asleep. Still she walked with him to the door.

Samuel went to say goodbye to his two 'daughters' and came back to salute Leila in his way out.

Leila went back to her room, she sat on the comfortable bed and went through her things, specifically looking for her phone. When she found it, she plug it into her outlet to charge it and looked through any of her missing calls. Finally she phoned Hasani. The phone went straight to voicemail and she sat a bit disappointed. She pulled herself together a few thought filled moments later and changed into some lingerie, she slipped under the covers and stared at the ceiling letting the pull of the day force her into slumber.
