I absurbed the informantion she was sharing with me while taking sips from the cider and continueing my meal . "Hmm it sounds more like a curse, being able to take other peoples pain... but being able to control it I could see how it could be a good thing as well. Still hard on you I'd imagine?" Finishing the last of all but the wine and a little of the cider I set the bowl aside.

"Indeed it is...I used it once when my friend was hurt and I took her pain and felt like passing out but I didn't and hid the fact I felt the pain" I said and then added "If she knew what I did I think she would have had my hide." I laughed and then finished my drink and studied Lein and said "Now I have two questions about you ability...how old were you when you found out you had you ability and what are some consequences of using then...other then passing out?."

I laughed at her remark about her friend having her hide thinking of the type of person Tethys friend was. "Well I haven't had the ability that long actually." My teeth tightened together as the memory of how I got the ability came to my mind. Noticing her studying me I forced myself to relax. "I would rather not get into how I got this ability... at least not in great detail.... " I swallowed hard.
I knew I didn't have to go into any more detail than that but leaving it just at that was rude after she answered my questions. "... I was a slave to a vampire for several months, and lets just say that manual labor wasn't all I was used for." My anger flared up and without realizing it I was gripping the table making my knuckles turn white. Scenes of him using me for his mind experiments corsed through my mind. Those were the newest ones, ones I hadn't known, for the longest time, he had even done. All she asked was for was the age, why did I keep going and spill my guts about nearly the whole event? Too late it's out now.
I finally came back to my senses. "I'm sorry, I get like this when I remember him.... Anyways that's how it started I felt anger take over me before I even saw him. It's different now, it's no longer anger that signals it." I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "As for consequences there is always some discomfort when I'm around vampires but this is the only time I've been in pain other than when Galimus was still alive." The name burned on my lips but I put it out of my mind.
I smiled even if it was a bit on the fake side but it did lighten my mood. "I'm sure one of the questions you would have after hearing all this is why I don't have something against vampires, right?" The playfull tone in my voice returned.

I listened to what was being said and anger flashed in my eyes when I heard what he has been through for it reminded me of the same thing that happened to a friend and I said "What a monster." Then I heard a name and wondered if that was who did it to him but I dared not to ask anything else about it. Then when he had guessed a question of mine I nodded my head and said "That is another question I have...because I would have hatred for them if it happened to me."

"Well I think of myself as a reasonable person so judging all for the action of one is a little extreme. And also I was shown that not all vampires are like that when another saved me and his wife,who had also been kidnapped." I took in a breath as I was saying all of it a little fast.
"I had some time to think things over while I lived with them for a while. I guess the final thing that changed my outlook was that the wife, who I became friends with before her husband rescued us, was human..... I had never heard of that happening before then. I now know that it happens more than I thought it would."
I gave a laugh. "You can stop me anytime if I'm talking to much." smileing I continued. "Was there any other questions?"

"I see...and not there are no more questions” I said and added “and as for a vampire being with a human…I know some people who are born from out two races…heck my mom’s mother was a vampire and her father was a human, I was shocked when I found this out just a year or two ago because I did not think children could be born from the two races.” She then smiled and said "Ok, I lied...I do have another question" I laughed and added "So what brought you to this small city?"

"I'll spare the details this time but I needed to get away from there. So I went back to wandering from town to town looking for people to help." I smiled geuninly this time. " I think I'll settle in this town for a while. I'm conserned about why I blacked out and need to know why it happened...." I hope it doesn't mean he is back from the dead errr undead I cringed. "If that was all the questions you had for me I have one last one for you... Why did you come to this town or why are you staying in it?" Another broad smile spread across my lips.

I smiled as he said he needed to get away from the town he was in and traveled from town to town looking for people to help. My smile kind of faded when he asked why I came to this town or why I was staying here and I sighed and said “In Stitch I was turned and lived a good life until my parents killer came in search for me so that he could finish what he started. He was a vampire who had killed my parents and tried to kill me but I got away and he searched for me for about 9 years and found me and challenged me to a fight which I won, but after the battle before his last breath he told me some things that angered me and it awoke something evil within me and I lost control and killed many innocent people.”
I then closed my eyes sadly and went on with my story “It took my friend and child to stop me by putting me into a dead sleep after a long battle. I then awoke a year later and for got everything but then remembered slowly and realized what I did, so I left the town after about a year went by and came here helping people with illness and wounds and have been taking care of them anyway I can with in the Sanctuary…and I also help protect this city when there is a threat to it.” I then shook my head and said “so I guess you could say I came here to get away from my past and start a new life”

I had walked into the Inn for a hot meal and over heard some of the people saying that a Human walked into a room with a vampire . . . It raised my curiosity and asked them which room. They pointed to a set of doors and I nodded . . . I walked slowly up to the door and placed my head against the door trying to hear what was going on . . .

My smile faded almost at the same time her's did. I knew like my own story it was causing her pain to tell it.
My face turned to sadness when she mentioned she had killed innocent people. She had no control... if anything it was the other vampire's last evil deed. I gave her a reasuring smile to say I understood and that she didn't need to go on but she had already closed her eyes.
When she was done with the second half of her story I spoke up. "Since it is what I came to this town to do, If you need any help at the... Sanctuary I'd be glad to help out." A smile took it's normal spot across my face. " I'm not a healer by any stretch of the imagination but I know a bit about herbs."
