he
sounded angry. Maybe we didn’t like each other.
    “Rick,
you should speak with Alexander. He is the one who ordered it not me,” Ali said
sounding a little impatient.
    Rick’s
eyes went to me, and I had to admit I was nervous. The way he looked at me made
me think he hated me; whoever I was. “Come on Rick, we will go find him now,”
the other guy said as he nudged Rick.
    Rick
didn’t move, and I wasn’t sure what he was thinking, but it couldn’t have been
good. “What the hell is wrong with her?” he asked as he shifted his gaze to
Ali.
    “She
doesn’t remember anyone,” Ali said quietly as he picked at a rose that was near
him.
    Rick
scoffed like he didn’t believe him. “Kind of like she died last time right?”
    Ali
glared at him. “She has no memory of what happened so I don’t suggest you go
down that road because you will find it is nothing but a dead end.”
    “I’m
sure,” he muttered then turned and stormed back into the house. The other guy
looked at me for a minute then hurried off after Rick.
    “What
did I do to him?” I asked quietly. The more I was learning about myself the
more I didn’t like what I was finding.
    “Believe
it or not you turned him, and the guy with him, Gabriel, into vampires. You
also turned Matt and Joseph; which I am sure you will meet later. They are
James’ brother and cousin. You also turned a boy named Alan, although I still
can’t fathom why you did that,” he said like he was thinking about it.
    “What
do you mean by turned? Did I hurt them? Is that why he is so angry?” I was
getting upset. I hated that I couldn’t remember it was making me insane. I felt
my head start to ache and blood began to pour from my nose.
    “Stop
thinking about it. You are hurting yourself,” he chided sounding worried as he
pressed a rag to my nose. I was beginning to think he had them on hand just for
me.
    “I
have to remember something. All these people know me and I know them, I do. I
just don’t know from where or how.” I felt tears start to run down my cheeks. I
was getting overwhelmed. It had only happened one other time, and that was when
I first woke up. I felt my chest tighten and it was like I couldn’t breathe. I
could see Ali’s lips moving, he was talking; but I couldn’t hear him past the
sound of blood pounding in my head. Suddenly I felt like I was falling and
everything went black.

 
    I
woke up in a bed. I remembered what happened. I groaned and sat up. Alan was in
my room. He had his back turned to me as he did something. He glanced at me and
smiled. “I figured you would wake up soon. Here drink this,” he said as he sat
down on the bed next to me.
    I
took the small cup he offered me. “What is it?” I asked a little suspicious.
    He
smiled. “I promise it will make you feel better.”
    I
sighed and drank it. It tasted horrible. “That was terrible,” I muttered.
    He
laughed. “I know, but it works.” He stood and went back to the counter where he
was mixing herbs or something.
    “Do
you like me?” I asked wondering how he felt about me.
    He
looked a little confused. “Of course. Why would you ask that?”
    I
sighed as I laid back against my pillows. “This guy earlier, I think his name
was Rick. He was angry with me and I don’t know why. I figured I better ask
people how they feel about me.”
    “Rick
is just touchy. Don’t worry about him. He loves you even though he won’t admit
it,” he said amused.
    “Was
I a bad person?” I was asking because I was starting to think maybe I wasn’t
very nice.
    “You
had your moments,” he said playfully. “I am going to go tell Alexander you are
awake. Why don’t you shower and get dressed.” He left before I could ask any
more questions. I didn’t know how I was going to get any answers when it seemed
like everyone was refusing to give me answers.
    I
went to the bathroom and started the shower. I wasn’t really looking forward to
going back downstairs. I was beginning to
