Thanks for the comments . Sorry this has taken so long, but the next part is finally here, and questions are asked...

I had no modern day means to contact the Undertaker, yet it was better that he called for me when he was ready to learn more about his birthright. I watched his performances on Smackdown for the next two weeks, noting that there was a subtle difference in how he carried himself in the ring, as though there was a great weight on his mind. I knew what that weight was. His heritage. Three weeks after the graveyard meeting, as he cut a promo (where the wrestler would talk about another wrestler, a match etc), he slipped my name into the words he spoke to his "Creatures of the night", his fans. That was the signal I had been waiting for. Without even waiting for his talk to end, I made myself (without Andrew) reappear backstage at the arena, next to the entranceway curtains.

I waited until he had finished talking to his followers, then as the lights dimmed in the arena, I stepped out onto the stage. My appearance did not surprise him. I beckoned to Undertaker to follow me, and he stepped out of the ring to come to where I was standing. Leading him to his locker room (which I learned the location of by looking into mortals' minds as I passed them) Undertaker remained silent, only speaking the moment he shut the door behind him. "I want to know more" he said without hesitancy. "I want to know what I would be able to do, my strengths, my weaknesses, my abilities, and the difference between a normal and a so-called Noble vampire-" I held my hand up and he fell silent. "You will learn Deadman. And take heed to whatever I tell you. Understand?" he nodded.

"You ask what you would be able to do. Well, what do you think you will be able to do?" Undertaker answered. "That I will be stronger, faster, keener senses, be able to drink blood. Is that right?" "Yes. And abilities that are unique only to Nobles, but not all for some reason, include mind control, flight, and instant relocation. Like this." And then I relocated to outside his locker room. I knocked on the door, and it opened to reveal a surprised face. "You see?" I said as I stepped back into the room. "I do" Taker responded. "What about weaknesses?" I laughed a little. "For the sole reason that if things went awry between us I cannot tell you. But I can tell you an unknown fact about all vampires."

His attention was completely on me (I must admit, I like having that effect on mortals). "You see, how a human is killed and turned into a vampire defines the vampire that they will become." Undertaker looked at me confused. "What do you mean by that?" "I shall give you some examples. A human who is defeated and then bitten and made to drink the blood of a vampire will become a vampire who is a warrior, well skilled for fighting with a forceful personality. A human who is seduced by their eventual killer will become a seductive vampire, well versed in being enchanting and seducing their prey. This type of vampire is able to control minds, and I shall give you warning that they are considered far deadlier." "Impressive. Is it rude of me to ask how you became a vampire?"

I looked at him. "I will not include details, but I am a seductive vampire. That is all you need to know." Undertaker took off his hat, placed it beside him, and looked away. "I have offended you." I shook my head. "You have not." We both fell silent. I looked at him again, and a thought came to me. Someone who was against becoming a vampire wouldn't be asking as much as he was. I voiced a question to him. "Would you be willing to become a vampire, given the chance?" Undertaker looked surprised at me, eyes wide at first, but then returning to their normal size. He looked as if he was thinking. "Hmm. I would need to think long and hard about this. I'm not saying yes, and i'm not saying no."

"So you are giving this some thought?" "You told me that becoming a Noble vampire was my birthright. If it is mine, then shouldn't I claim it? Yet, I would gain and lose a great deal. It is something I can't be careless about." I couldn't help but be impressed. "Is there anyway for me to find out beforehand what I would be able to do as a vampire?" "There is, but it's far too complicated for me to explain. But I can give a short version. You are given a small window, so to speak, to be the vampire that you may become. It requires another vampire of the kind you are to become to go into a deep slumber, and for the two of you to share a connection. Know why this is rarely used?" "The vampire's vulnerable to attack." I smiled. "Very good."

What he asked of me next was surprising, but not unexpected. "Will you bite me again?" I had to clear up this question. "Do you mean that I am going to, or that you want me to?" It's what i'm asking you to do. This time I want to be aware of it." I sat down next to him, and looked him directly in his green eyes. "Is this what you want?" A pause. "Not to be turned into a vampire, you must understand. I'd rather not have you confusing my mind this time." Sighing, I looked away for a moment before looking at him again. I held his chin in my hand. "My dear, the next time I bite you, it will be when you have decided your fate. Now don't ask again until you have agreed to accept your heritage."

As I moved to reappear home, I swear I saw a look of disappointment on his face, and before relocating I had realised what would have to happen if I was to turn him into a vampire. The castle was quiet, except for the scuttling of rats and, as I picked up the scent, a human, alone and afraid. I pulled back the velvet purple curtain in my room to reveal a cowboy in his 30s tied to a vampiric cross, shaking and sweating, and a note by his boots. "I have business to attend to my love. Enjoy the meal I left you. Andrew" I looked again at the cowboy, his brown skin looking soft and easy to break. This wasn't normal for Andrew. But I would drink regardless. I do not waste a gift.

Exams do get in the way of fun things, but that's just the way things are it seems. There's no rush for putting the story up. Speaking of which, i've finally have the next part here and ready for those that have been waiting! So here we go, and I hope the wait was worth it:

No sign of Andrew for three weeks. Where on earth could the one who turned me be? It was as unsettling as the knowledge of the way in which I would be turning the Undertaker, who I spoke to each week in his locker room, explaining more about his vampiric heritage, and the process of how he could become the vampire he was going to become for a short period of time, before I carried out the deed. Have you, my reader, after reading this far, realised how I would turn him? If not, you will find out soon enough. But for now, I must reveal more of this story.

The Undertaker's fellow wrestlers had become aware of my prescence in the locker rooms, seeing me enter and leave his locker room (I couldn't go in and not come out the same way, it would arouse suspicions). With my enhanced hearing, I could hear them saying how this mysterious goth woman was making the Phenom less focused on the show. They said he would normally walk around the corridors, speak with the guys, and sort out any disputes on the day of the show before it started, and this was before my arrival. Now on the day of the show, he would only enter and exit the locker room for a match or a promo and return straight there. I was being seen as a bad influence on him. They had no idea.

I approached the Undertaker again as he was about to enter the locker room. We didn't enter the room however, as we heard a shout not much further down the corridor. "Hey playas. You mind coming with me to my office? I've been hearing rumours from the boys in the back and I want to get to the bottom of them." "Sure thing Teddy" Taker replied. He nodded in my direction, and we both then followed the General Manager to his office, which wasn't that far of a walk. I respected Theodore Long. He had a good head on his shoulders, and was to me a decent mortal. Yet the answers we had to give to him we knew had to carefully worded, again to avoid unwanted suspicions.

Undertaker closed the door behind us, and Long invited us to sit down on the sofa next to his desk. "Well now, i've been hearing all sorts of rumours backstage about the two of you, and not all of them pleasant, so I would very much appreciate some clarification for what's going on here players." Having expected questioning to happen sooner or later, we had been working on a back story to conceal the real motive for my being there, so the Undertaker began first.

"I had recieved a phone call a few months ago from an English relative on my mother's side that her daughter was coming to the United States for a few months, and shes asked if I could take care of her daughter during that time. An added bonus, she said, was that the gir-" I cleared my throat in mock annoyance at him. "Sorry, the young lady, was a big fan of wwe, in particular of myself, and that she would be ecstatic if she could stay with me. So she's here with me, and-" "I've absolutely loved being over here." I interrupted him. This time I was feigning human excitement. "The cities, the crowds, so much to see, it's been amazing! And of course, the best thing was seeing my favourite wrestler who i'm so happy to be related to!"

Secretly, I was hating this 'nice girl' act, but such was the importance of concealing the fact that I could very well be killing the most respected wrestler in the company, and my own vampiric nature, that I had to...oh what was that old phrase again...ah yes, 'grin and bear it'. And I only had to smile sweetly to Theodore Long to know that the disguise we had set up was working greatly. "Well if that's the case, would you like to meet the boys in the back?" "Yes! I would really love that!" I said in feigned excitement. Both Undertaker and Long chuckled. "Very well then. If you'll both follow me." We stood up, then followed him out of his office.

Surprisingly, through my usual dark mysterious nature, I was actually enjoying all the smiles and welcomes and handshakes with Undertaker's fellow wrestlers. On more than one occasion I would pretend to act embarrassed when I would be complimented on how beautiful I looked. I knew I was, which wasn't bragging, and had been told on so many occassions by those lives I took, that it would only have some effect on me if my missing liege Andrew told me that, in the voice he had used when he had seduced me and took my life. I took the compliments well enough, and even posed for a picture with all of the wrestlers that were still backstage. Yes, vampires can have their images captured, please dispense with that myth my readers, yet we show up as very pale on the images to the point of our skin looking pure white.

Having thanked everyone for their kind words and compliments, myself and the Deadman returned to his locker room. "That should hopefully put their fears and suspicions about us at rest." I said to him. But as I looked at him, I saw that he had a burning desire to ask me a very important question. "You can ask me, I can see you want to ask me something." "Yes. I've been thinking about this ever since you revealed my heritage to me. You asked me to cinsider and think hard about this, and I have. So here I go: I want to claim my heritage. I want to become a vampire. Can you turn me?" I closed my eyes and smiled. I didn't tell him this, but I had a burning desire to taste of his blood again, and it was a strong a lust as it was for Andrew's blood. I looked at him with deadly blood red eyes, and answered, using that etherral whisper born of the blood connection, "Yes".

[Shadow Soul]

Well worth the wait...

Exams do get in the way of fun things, but that's just the way things are it seems. There's no rush for putting the story up. Speaking of which, i've finally have the next part here and ready for those that have been waiting! So here we go, and I hope the wait was worth it:
