Sam stared at his niece, terrified. Her eyes were listless and yellow. She had been turned!

"Anna?" he whispered. She smiled warmly at him.

"Uncle," she said.

"What have you done?" he whispered in horror directing the question at David glared at him as he held the widows body. Anna looked sad for the briefest moment. She stepped forward with her hands outstretched. Sam almost fell over himself trying to get away from her. She stopped and straightened up.

"We will take care of the widows body" she said. She and David turned to leave.

"Wait!" Sam said. "Where are you going?" he asked. Anna smiled at David before stepping towards her uncle.

"You know I cant tell you that," she said. Sam thought for a moment then nodded.

"Why Anna? Why do this to yourself?" he asked pleadingly. Anna shrugged.

"Because I love him" she replied. Sam shook his head as tears pooled in his eyes. This was his family for god sakes! And now she had thrown her life away to become a vampire! He tried to protect them all from this happening and he had failed. Quicker than he could see Anna was in front of him. He winced but, didn't move from her.

"I am so sorry uncle sam. Tell my parents I love them" she said. He nodded.

"And I love you too" she replied before wrapping her arms around his waist. He stood still for a moment then wrapped his arms around her cold body in return. David stood there watching him warily. Sam kissed his nieces head.

"Take care of her" said Sam. David nodded.

Sam and Anna released on another. She regarded him for a moment before returning to her mates side. Sam watched as they both sped out of there with the widows body. He sank to his knees in defeat. Clutching his head in his hands he screamed to the sky in frustration then sobbed there in the courtyard.

Before long he picked himself up, made his way to his jeep and went home. He knew there was no changing the past or his nieces fate. He knew that things happened for reasons unknown and he also knew that vampires were evil. However, the widow had not been, neither could he let himself think of his niece as evil. Maybe they had been the exceptions. Maybe, somehow things weren't always as black and white as he suspected and maybe someday Star, Michael and even Edgar and Allen would accept Anna for what she was, a vampire.

David carried the Widows body to the mausoleum where Grandpa Emerson was buried. He had always known that she wanted to be laid to rest with him. Anna met him outside the tomb holding a set of flowers that she had stolen from other graves. She placed them on the doorstep of the tomb and took Davids hand giving it a squeeze.

"You ok?" he asked. He was completely content with how well her transition had gone. She had woken up at sunset and had told him she was ready to feed. They found a young man on the beach. She had grabbed him and bitten into his neck with vigor. David was utterly impressed with how easily she drank from him without spilling a drop.

David was shocked when she released him.

"Your done?" he had asked. She looked at me incredulously.

"He is still alive!" he said shocked for he could hear his heart beat going strong.

"I know David. I don't need to drain him" she snapped. Okay, I guess we could attempt this, thought David as she threw her arms around him and kissed him deeply.

Now she looked up at him lovingly. She was utterly breathtaking as a vampire.

"Yeah. I am sorry about your friend" she said giving his hand a squeeze. He shrugged. He had always known that the widow would end up taking her own life. They strolled out of the cemetery where David had a bike waiting. He climbed aboard and helped her up behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Where to?" she asked. He turned and looked at her.

"I hear Romania is lovely this time of year," he joked.

"Oh the mother land!" said Anna excitedly. David shook his head in amusement then kickstarted the bike.

"Why not?" he said as he sped out of the cemetery.

"I'll go anywhere with you" said Anna kissing his neck. David smiled as he made his way out of Santa Carla, then out of California and on to what ever existence they could find.
