He gives her a surprised and curious look when she says sheâ€™s from Romania. Dagger looks at her nods, â€œTo answer your question of why Iâ€™m ashamed, because not matter what Iâ€™ll always feel like a freak of nature, vampires say that they different from humans, but theyâ€™re not. They treat me the same way humans did when I was human. They even call me the same names, all except the word I hate the most, which is Pariah.â€ He says. â€œEven when I was human, humans called me a vampire. People made fun of my mother, called her a witch and said that she consorted with the devil, for giving birth to a â€œvampireâ€.â€ He says to her. When she says something about leaving, he looks at her. â€œDonâ€™t worry I ainâ€™t goinâ€™ anywhere, for some odd reason I feel content with being here. I guess because I feel sorta accepted, because you accept me, I guess.â€ He says. Then he looks at her, â€œSo youâ€™re from Romania huh? Thatâ€™s where my family originated before we moved here. I spent only a little time in Romania as a young child.â€ He says. Then he noticed that she had his charm around her neck.<br/><br/>â€œI was wonderinâ€™ where that went, so why do you have it? I bet your wonderinâ€™ where I got that, I got that from a gypsy camp when I raided it and killed most of the people.â€ He says. â€œSomethinâ€™ told me to pick it up and wear it and thatâ€™s what I did, of course when I was out in the sun the first time with that, I freaked a little, but then realized that it protected me.â€ He says. Then another silence falls upon them, the only sound that was heard was the sound of crickets and occasionally a hoot owl. Dagger was about to say something to Aleera when he looks passed her and lets out a hiss as several figures come into the open, they of course were vampires. And of course these vampires were rude and ignorant and never heard of Aleera. â€œWell I see this beautiful vampiress has found the Freak, or wait was is The Pariah.â€ One says as the rest laugh. Dagger lets out another hiss and bared his fangs. Aleera could tell that he truly hated that name. â€œWhy the hell are you botherinâ€™ me? I havenâ€™t done anything to you.â€ Dagger snaps.<br/><br/>â€œSo, youâ€™re an abomination that needs to be destroyed. Youâ€™re a misfit, a freak, a Pariah that doesnâ€™t fit in with the rest of our kind, thus why you need to be destroyed.â€ The first one says.<span style="font-style: italic">Of course, just like the others.</span>Dagger thinks as he lets out another hiss. Before the vampires could make a move toward him or Aleera could hold him back, he grabs the lead vampire by the throat and slams him against a tree. Even for a young vampire, Dagger was extremely strong, stronger than most young vampires. Usually is taken years for a vampire to gain their impressive strength. â€œGive me a reason I shouldnâ€™t kill you.â€ He snaps. The lead vampire lets out a laugh, â€œYouâ€™re a young one, you donâ€™t have much strength, so Iâ€™m not worried about you killing me. You would only injure me.â€ He says. Dagger smirks, â€œWanna make a bet.â€ He snaps. The lead vampire began to laugh again, but then lets out a gasp. The sound of bones snapping breaks the night air. Dagger had snapped the vampire in two, which was a hard feat for young or newly created ones to do to other vampires, but humans of course they could have snapped with ease.<br/><br/>Then with the slight flick of his wrists he rips the lead vampireâ€™s spine out. Then he turns to the others, â€œLeave now before I strangle you with his spine.â€ He snaps. Of course witnessing what he had just did, they knew he was serious and turn and fled the other way. He turned and looks at Aleera, figuring that she would be furious with him, he of course would apologize. But to his surprised she was giving him a look as if she was surprised. â€œWhat? Why do you look so surprised?â€ he asks her.
