They Bite

8

I looked at Vein. "What does that mean," I asked.

She gave me a concerned look. "It's nothing abnormal, but it's a mix of a vampire gene and a werewolf gene. Were you ever around a werewolf before us," she asked.

I shook my head. "Not that I know of," I said.

"It had to be a relative. The third offspring of a werewolf," Ken said.

"My mom isn't a vampire," I said, "She's human, and that only leaves..." I was speechless for a minute. I turned around and looked at Marcus. He was thinking the exact same thing I was. "Dad." Marcus nodded, then I looked back at vein. "Will I die?"

"No," Vein said, "you will only be just a little stronger than most vampires. Since you already had the gene from your father, Ken mixed his with it and now you are half and half."

"Like a hybrid," I asked.

"A hybrid is by being bit by bothe a vampire and a werewolf. You were born with the gene," she said.

I nodded. Ken came back up to me. "Purple fits you," he said with a smile.

I grinned.

"My turn," Marcus said, "I just want to get this over with."

Vein and Ken stood back. Marcus walked up to me and hugged me. He was a little upset, but he let me go. Marcus was tall, but at least I could still bite him. I stood in front of him instead of behind him like Ken. It would be easier for me. He hugged me tight then let me move my teeth up to his neck. I gently pushed me teeth deeper and deeper into his neck. He gripped my back.

I craved the blood so much, but I knew when to stop, and I fought it. I thought about Ken's resistance key. It worked. I pulled my teeth away and just saw Marcus stand there with pain running through him. He didn't fight it. He accepted it, then he opened his eyes and his eyes were also blood red. I bit into my arm, drawing a little blood, and and I let him bite into my wrist. He craved it just like me.

Reading about vampires when I was younger, I know that they need blood to survive. I'm guessing Ken drinks animal blood. Werewolves. Rabbits. Squirrels. Oh god what did I get into.

Since Marcus just showed his strength, power, and intensity, he already proved to everyone else he can take down any wolf. He also showed his fear and his weakness. Our family. Marcus definitely will be one of the strongest fighters.

Marcus let me go, and wiped the blood off his lips. His teeth were long. My wrist stopped bleeding after a minute. His red eyes focused on me. He gave me a hug, then kissed my forehead.

Vein came up behind us and we turned around to look at her. She gave bow saying "welcome", and we did the same. Other vampires celebrated.

Marcus and Kenny met up again and walked back inside. Ken took my hand. Both of us smiled at each other. He reached down and swept me off my feet into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

I'm glad I am where I am. I can be next to Ken any day, and Marcus can be with family forever. Besides being at home, I bet he misses his old life at school. Friend. Comforting me. School. Dances. A chance of a girlfriend. I bet Marcus could find a vampire girl. Especially with him being in the top 5 as a human. He is definitely one of the best. I want Marcus to be happy too. I don't want him to be a sad little Marcus. He's a sweetheart. He's a lover. He cares.
