"Why is it people build towns out in the middle of nowhere?" I mumbled to myself as I finally saw smoke in the disantance across the stary sky. And my feet reply and why do you need to travel to them? I smirk at the thought and wearly continue to the small town.
Welcome to Blue Ridge Valley: I read briefly on the archway as I entered the town. A sudden chill shoots up my spine, a weakness in my knees that wasn't from the trek seizes them and I find myself on them. My stomach turned and made me double over.
Such strength. I couldn't tell where it was coming from but I did know it was from more than one source. Forcing myself to my feet I stumbled toward the inn. Barely making it in the door I collapsed. "Sir are you ok? A man rushed to me before I blacked out for an instant.

As I walked down the street I heard a commotion from the Inn and walked over to see what was going on and saw a man on the ground. At first I thought it was just another drunk who had way to much to drink but then I realized it was not and ran to the mans side and looked at everyone else who had came and said "Everyone back up and give me some room. I then looked the man over and wondered why he blacked out but then I pushed that out of my mind and then I took some herbs from my pouch and asked for a glass of warm water. When I was given it I crushed the herbs and put it in the glass of warm water and then mixed it around and poured a little in the mans mouth at a time and said "He should come around soon" and smiled for I knew he would start coughing from the taste of the medicine.

A foul tase in my mouth brought me to again. "Gah," I sputtered and coughed. It took me a few moments to remember where I was but in that time I looked around me. The man that had asked me if I was ok was dispersing the small crowd that made a semicircle near the door. The only person within the circle was a young lady with long blond hair. She was holding a glass of slightly green water with little bits of some type of herb floating in it.
"Thank you," I rasped. I coughed again trying to clear my throat of the after taste of the medicine. I stood up slowly. My body tingled slightly and at first I thought it was the aftermath of the power that had shook me but I soon realized that I was in the presence of a vampire . It should feel clearer than this.... that power before must have numbed that sense.
She was smiling at me, probably from the humor of my sudden alertness and coughing fit. She looked familiar to me but I couldn't place where. The only thoughts was of a antique store, but as always my memory failed me.
Trying again to clear my throat I finally got out a sentence in a normal voice. "I guess you would want to know the name of the person you "saved"? I put extra emphasis on the saved with more than a little sarcasim and playfullness. I stuck out my hand said, " The name's Lein Vin Sky"

"You are welcome" I said and watched as the man got up. I listened to what he said and laughed a little and then saw his hand stuck out as he introduced himself. I then got up and shook his hand and said "It is nice to meet you Lein Vin Sky, I am Tethys....tell me, why did you pass out like that."

"I..." I started and was about to leave out about my ability but thought better of it. It will eventually come out one way or another.May as well just say it but how do I start? The tingling gave me a means to start but I still felt ackward no matter how I started.
There was a few moments of silence. "I... can sense things...." I said sounding foolish to myself and knew it didn't explain my blacking out. In a wispered voice I tried again to say what I meant, "...I can sense that you're a vampire... and it was that ability that made me pass out.... I sensed several very strong..." I stopped searching for the right word to describe the force. "... auras and it was too much for me." Again I felt ackward like I was sharing a secret that was already known. There was also the creepy feeling that I just shared my ability with someone else. If I'm wrong about her then the worst that could happen is she'll think I'm crazy.
That gave me a little comfort and I smiled and tried to read her expressions.

I smiled when he said he sensed I was a vampire and then listened to him more and then said “I see, so you know what I am…and I must say I am glad you know for now I will not have to explain anything to you if you see me do anything that a normal human couldn’t.” I then looked around and said “You have an amazing ability, I too have one which is a little different then yours. I can sense the good and the bad in people's hearts....so in other words I can kind of see into their soul" I then moved away and everyone who was around went back to their business and I looked back and said “Come we can talk more in privet in the other room…unless you wish to stay here.”

"Lead the way." I smiled. Seeing into other people's souls... well I have nothing to hide in that regards even the dark parts of my own heart. And somehow that's less creepy than vampires that can enter and worm their way around in your mind. I shiver as I recall some moments from the past. I trusted that she wasn't luring me away from people to either kill me or do what vampires have to do. The hilt of my blade gave me confidence if it was that. I followed her into another room. "Was there anything else you wanted to ask about my ability? I must say that I'm rather curious about yours." I laughed.

I to laughed a little and then sat down at a table and pointed to a seat and looked at him. "There is much I would like to know but I will let you to ask what is to want to know about mine if that’s ok with you." Just then the inn keeper brought in a bowl of beef stew and a bun and also three mugs. He place the meal in front of Lein and also two mugs, one with apple cider and the other with wine. then sat the last one down in front of me and then left the room. "I thought you might be hungry so I sent a telepathic message to the innkeeper to bring you something to eat and drink" I said and took a sip of my drink.

After the innkeeper sent down the food and left I took the seat Tethys offered me. I was shocked when she mentioned telepathic message. Should I try to be on guard with what I think about... No two glasses... which shows me alot more than if I asked aloud.
"Thank you, I haven't had a meal in a while." I ate a few pieces of the stew. "When you said you could see into people's souls I didn't expect you could also do that," I motioned to the food and also behind me toward the door where the innkeeper had left. "But that answered a few things as well.... Guess now the first question that comes to mind is: does it come all at once or is it something you can completely control?" I started eating again this time breaking the bread into several pieces and using them like a spoon in the stew.

"Well the telepathic ability is something I got when I was turned into a vampire" I said and then added "Now the one with be being able to read souls was something I inherited from my clan when I was a human…it comes and goes depending on what I feel. Lets say that you were evil and I got a bad feeling about you...that is when my ability will work and I can read the soul just enough to let me know if I should keep my guard up or not. I can't really read to well anymore like I use to because I am no longer human."
I then took another sip and then said "I have another ability which also is from my clan...and this one I can control very well...I can take others peoples pain and bring it upon myself so that I feel it instead of them."
