• Beth coughed as she went to sit up hitting her head, "Ow! Oh my he-" She stopped herself as she felt fabric around her, "O.O NO!" She kicked hard at the lid as it broke open dirt began to pour in, "O.O"

    The others, standing around the new grave, sighed with relief when they heard her scream. Elizabeth smiled weakly. "I hope she can dig her way out quickly, we did only bury her two feet deep after all..."

    Beth screamed again breaking the lid; she felt dirt hit her face as she dug her way out. She felt a cold breeze on her hand as she pulled herself out gasping for air and coughing, "Gross...." she coughed spitting out dirt and sitting on the ground shaking the dirt out of her hair.

    Jace immediately grabbed her hand as soon as it poked out and he pulled her the rest of the way from the dirt. Elizabeth sighed happily and Felicity examined Beth closely. "Hmm...do you want the mirror before or after you get the dirt out of your hair?"

    Beth kept shacking the dirt from her hair, "I think now.....to make su-....." she stopped then looked down, "No point.....can't see myself......."

    Felicity held a mirror in front of Beth. Her reflection was slowly fading away, but what could be clearly seen was that her eyes were the same as theirs now and her skin was as smooth and as an attractive pale as marble. Something that began to set in though, were small burns on her cheeks and hands. Jace quickly covered her and pulled her into the house when this happened. "Damnit, never done this in the daytime before..."

    Beth felt her skin burn and hissed a little in pain. She then felt Jace take her into the house shacking her hands a little to try and stop the burning.

    Jace tossed her a packet of blood after he removed the cover. "Here, drink up. Your unlife is established yet, you're at the weakest you will ever be."

    Beth looked at the packet, "O.o um....." she shook her head throwing it back, "You know I can't stand the sight of blood.....-_- oh right...have to get use to that.....-_- still....."

    Jace sighed and tossed it back to her. "Just smell it, you'll think differently afterwards."

    Beth looked at him then looked back at the packet her eye twitching, "Man...I can't even look at it...." she groaned looking away from it.

    Felicity grabbed the bag and poked a hole in it with one of her fangs, licking up the leakage slowly. "Yummy." She said with a grin.

    Beth smelt the blood as her stomach turned over, "Copper?" she asked turning her head towards Felicity, "O.O"

    Felicity cast a curious glace at Beth. "It still smells like copper to you?"

    Beth smelt the air again, "Ya...but..." she said shutting her eyes getting closer to Felicity, "It's got this other smell....can't tell what it is.....but....I like it............"

    Felicity giggled and shoved the bag in her face. "There isn't another smell you can place it with. Once you are a Vampire blood gains its own stand-alone smell."

    Beth eyes widen as some of the blood got into her mouth, "Felicity!" she growled licking the blood off her lips, "Do that again and I'll rip your head off!" She glared at her whipping the blood from her face.

    Felicity laughed loudly and sighed, now drinking the blood from the bag. "Suit yourself; you probably could now anyway if you snuck up on me..."

    Beth turned to Jace, "You really haven't told her about the cheer caption.....or what happens when i get mad...." she growled looking back at her, "Could have done it before......" she balled up her fist trying to calm down.

    Jace smirked a bit and sighed. "I should tell you that I did happen to inform her about your anger trips. She loves instigating anger fits."

    Beth turned quickly punching a basketball size hole in the wall, "God damn it!" she growled driving her fist farther into the wall.

    Jace and Felicity's eyes widened and Felicity stood up and stalked out of the room, mumbling something about hormones. Jace shook his head a bit and looked her in the eye. "I hope this will cheer you up, but we won't order you to stay here."

    Beth pulled her arm out of the wall looking away, "Where do you think I would go....." she mumbled as tear hit the floor, "Just answer me this one thing.....Why? Why did you want to be more than human?" She tried to hold back the tears but they just kept coming as she clawed at the wall leaving marks.

    Jace answered the first question first. "We would get you some dense contacts and you can go home if you want..." He sighed and looked away, now answering the second. "You see the reason on the news every day. I don't want to be a part of that kind of life anymore, why would I want to be when there was another choice?"

    Beth looked up at him as tears still fell, "You did this because you thought it would be better then you left me here in this boring place then come back," she cried a little, "Now that I've become one you just want me to leave and act like nothing has happened......some friend to are....." She walked past him and stood at the door, "Anything you want to say before i leave....." She shut her eyes hoping that if he hated her....then she knew she could forget about him.

    Jace growled a bit and intercepted her. "I don't want you to leave damnit, I want you to be happy. I had to do this to you or else the bastards in Hamburg would have been all over you and Mickle. And as for why I choose this it doesn't matter anyway." Felicity stood at the top of the stairs, making fake kissing noise at the two of them. Jace responded by throwing a vase at her.

    Beth looked into his eyes, "I guess that it slipped your mind that they would still come after me....." she growled stepping back, "Or have you forgotten why I never liked showing off my back......." Her shoulders made some popping noises as the back of her shirt rose a little then fell back.

    Jace growled a bit and looked away from her. Luckily Hector came and broke up their little awkward moment. "You know, Beth, you are welcome to our shower if you wish." He tried to smile pleasantly.

    Beth nodded bowing to him, she went up the stairs to the bathroom locking the door, "Stupid Jace......doesn't remember...." she growled undressing. Her shoulder blades shifted as large wings appeared; she looked at them watching the white feathers fade to black then back, "-_- this isn't going to turn out well......" She then felt her fangs with her finger before they retracted, "-_-" she sighed turning the water on.

    Jace growled, he had heard her mumbling. "I do remember..." Hector looked between the two of them, a bit confused but not pressing the issue.

    Beth got into the shower letting her wings feel the warm water, "^^ nice to have them out again...." she giggled as she got cleaned up.

    Jace and Felicity sat down in the living room playing chess, waiting for Beth to get out of the shower. "Ugh, now she freaking hates me. Isn't that just peachy?" Felicity scowled a bit. "I haven't even seen you two interact that often and you already have the love-hate thing going on. It is kind of puckish you know." Jace scowled but did not speak, instead killing her queen and putting her in a losing position. "Checkmate."
