Prey

Chapter 4

I have a headache. It pulses through my whole body, only stopping at my toes and my fingers. The feel of my heart pumping blood vibrated through my fingers, almost making them tingle. I was aware of my surroundings. The bed that felt like nails surrounded me, almost enveloping me in its sheets and fluffy mattress. I was being swallowed by this bed, and I kept thrashing around, blankets half on, half off of me. My hands clenched the sheets right in my fists. My back arched, and I could feel sweat trickling down my neck. My neck.

My neck was aching, the puncture wounds were still bleeding but also puss seeped from the wounds. If I weren't in this state then I would be disgusted by myself.

"Someone needs to help her!" A males voice echoes and I could see two figures standing above me. One was taller than the other by a lot. The smaller one looked petite and had long hair that was piled on top of their head. "She needs to have the venom sucked from the wound. I'm afraid I am unable to after the last incident." The other voice stated, it was clearly a female, but her voice was low and in a rushed tone.

"Who else could do it?" The first voice spoke up. The woman nudged him as if it was obvious.

My back arched again and whimpers escaped my mouth even when my mind was protesting. I don't want to appear weak, but my body is being controlled by the.. by the venom? It must be venom from the vampire.

Stupid vampires.

My vision was blurry, but I could see a dark shadow descending upon me. My wrists were clamps down on the bed by strong hands. They straddle me and I struggle to free myself. My fist comes free and I punch whoever it was that was on top of me. The force and the surprise of the attack has the person falling off the bed.

They get up too fast for my vision to actually comprehend and once again they are straddling me, but this time they bring my wrists behind my back so they tangle with the sheets. I buck my hips to try again to get free but they are already pulling my hair back and cleaning my neck of the blood.

"Remember, only the venom-"

"No further than that, yeah, I know." The male voice interjects. He is so close to my neck, but I don't feel any heat, only cold as the put their lips against my neck. Then the teeth sink into the wound. Making it fresh again.

I scream, trying so hard to wriggle free, but my hands are behind my back and I can't move my head. All at once it feels as if there is a vacuum that is slowly sucking the pain from my body. My toes unclench and I don't feel my heartbeat in my hands anymore, only in my chest. My headache goes away and finally the ache in my neck comes back. The boy sitting on top of me releases my arms from my back and I come to my senses. He keeps sucking my blood until I feel lightheaded. My hand clenches into a fist, and I punch the guy in the stomach.

"Oof!" He lets go of my neck and licks the blood that trickles from it. "That wasn't very nice." He says. He is the same guy who carried me, the one with half a red eye.

"Yeah well neither is you sucking my blood, moron!" I say, crossing my arms across my body. I am, to say the least, pretty pissed. He could of killed me! He raises his brow at me while wiping the extra blood from my neck and licking it from his hand. "You're a feisty one." He commented before getting up. His black hair swung into his eyes before he smirked. He was handsome, I would give him that. He was tall and lean, maybe at least 6'2" with a strong jaw. He was very handsome.

I finally noticed what was around me. The bed I was currently in was fluffy, and now felt like heaven instead of nails. But beds like this lined the long room, and a nurse station was at the end of the room. So this was a hospital room? Where was I? The guy who had been in front of me moments before was now on my bed.

"How long was I out for?" I ask, still looking wide eyed at everything around me.

"About 3 days." He smiles. "And by the way, my name is Daren Range, and you are?"
