"That movie was perfect. Dracula can take me any day."
Vic, Ciro and Faye at their vampire obsessed friend Athena. She's been like that since the sixth grade.
She fell victim to the life of a vampire and loved every second of it.
The four takes seats at the table next to their teacher's desk. Vic has cards in hand ready to go.
"Hey Athena, mother vampire I need your help later with modeling this forest"
"Okay Dimitri I'll be there in a bit I want to finish this game first."
Athena nods then begins dealing out the cards. Four each, the name of the game is spoons. Ciro sets three pencils in the middle of the group.
"Okay so your goal is to get four of the same card. Grab a spoon as soon as you do. Say if I get all the queen cards I will grab a pencil, at that point your job is to get one before someone else does. Last one without a pencil loses"
Faye is the dealer as she passes the cards around the table. Athena stares at her two fours in her hand while overlooking the three pencils in the middle.
Time seemed to slow as she watched Ciro reach for a pencil. Retrieving her pencil soon after Ciro, his hazel eyes flash red much like Dracula's in the movie.
"Ciro"
His body quickly reaches across the table. Ciro's smile was something she always loved to see but she was a bit scared to know he had fangs.
Athena watches as he licks the blood off of his lips then she passes out.
"It will hurt a little bit Cupcake"
Although it was purely fiction in Athena's head, she wad guilty of wondering about immortality and being coming a vampire. Who wouldn't when they read about Alexander Sterling, Dimitri Belikov, and Princes Darius, Marcus and Lucian. Never did she believe it would be forced onto her.
When her eyes open Athena sees nothing but red. Vic is her first unwilling victim since he's the closest to her. Across from her, Ciro is buried in Faye's neck. A river of blood trails down her chest.
Don't get Athena wrong Vic is a handsome guy but she didn't have enough patients to get to his neck. Taking his wrist she drank greedy from him.
Ciro had taken half of the room while Athena took the other side. There were students laying in front of every computer either bleeding or dried out.
Athena drops her latest victim them turns to Ciro as he tosses their friend Ira onto the light table.
His porcelain skin is covered in blood along with his pink lips. Ciro cups Athena's face in his bloody hands then plants a gentle kiss on her lips.
Athena sobs quietly against his lips, not that she didn't enjoy the feeling.
"Why are you crying Cupcake?"
She looks around the room, all of their friends bleeding out. Sighing, Ciro kisses her again then bites his wrist.
"Drink"
Athena accepts his wrist as he begins to speak in a different language. Still cupping her face Ciro stared her in the eyes.
"You won't remember this Cupcake. I should've know your humanity would have been on high. I'm sorry for forcing it onto you but just know I'll be back for you"
Athena faints in his arms as he kisses her forehead.
"ATHENA!" Vic screams at her.
"What?" She sneers back.
"Can we start the next round now?" Oliver asks smirking to himself.
Athena nods keeping an eye on Ciro. His smirk shows a little teeth, giving Athena a small glimpse of his left fang.
Ciro winks before dealing the cards out.
