I can't believe it... vampires really exist!!!

I can't believe it... vampires really exist!!! - Part 7

You picked up the book you were reading earlier and started flipping through the pages once again, as you were doing so Dante was staring up at the ceiling looking totally lost in thought.

You were still flipping the pages when something caught your attention “Oops” you said lightly hitting yourself on the head, Dante looked down towards you “What’s wrong?” he asked looking a little bewildered. You laughed a silly laugh and looked over at Dante “I kinda skipped some information on dhampirs by accident” you said rubbing the back of your head, Dante looked at you with a face that said ‘Is that it?’. “Well then what did you skip?” Dante asked moving a little closer to you.

You repositioned the big book on your lap and leaned a little forward towards the book “Well let’s see… oh it says here that dhampirs’ aging process is a little different from that of vampires, where vampires stop aging from the moment they are turned it can be at any age, but because dhampirs are born half-human and half-vampire from the very beginning they will keep aging till the age of 21; the age of a young adult, once they have reached that age they will no longer continue to age.” You said and leaned backwards a little “Well that’s the perfect age to stop aging at if you ask me; your not old, but neither are you too young to be able to do adult stuff” you said while tapping your chin with your finger. “I guess so” Dante said looking up at the ceiling again. *He sure is looking down these past few moments… something is still bugging him* you thought looking at him.

The door to Dante’s room slowly opened and both you and Dante’s heads swung in the direction of the door. Stepping into the room with a tray was Alicia, she walked over to you and Dante *Wow… that sure was a lot faster than I had thought it would take* you thought while looking at Alicia hand Dante a plate and a glass of red liquid. Alicia walked over to you and handed you a plate as well then a glass of Pepsi “Thank you Alicia” Dante said as he placed his glass on his bedside cupboard “Thank you” you said and smiled at Alicia, she bowed slightly and walked out of the door closing it  behind her.

You took a sip of your Pepsi as you were a lot more thirsty than hungry. Dante started to eat his sandwiches and you decided to do the same, silence surrounded the both of you. You and Dante just ate and every now and again a glance would be shared between the two of you. He picked up his glass of red liquid and took a sip, you looked at the glass as he drank from it *What is he drinking? It looks a little too thick to be a wine* you thought still looking at the glass, Dante’s eyes suddenly shifted towards you as he took the glass away from his mouth.

You jumped a little at his sudden stare “Uhm… Dante?” you said looking down “Yes?” he said looking at you “May I ask you a question?” you asked looking at him, but not in his eyes. “Yea sure” he said shifting a little to the left “Well uhm… I just want to know what you are drinking?” you asked looking down again, Dante seemed a little startled at your question but he soon relaxed and replied “Oh it’s just a thick guava juice” he lifted the glass towards his mouth again. You looked up at him “Really, guava juice? It looks so funny, it has a weird colour for guava juice” you said tilting your head to the side a little. Dante gave a quick laugh and looked over at you smiling “Yea I guess it does” he said and put the glass back down on the cupboard. You smiled as you were happy to see Dante smiling again.

You drank the last of your Pepsi and put your glass in your plate. As if she knew that you had finished eating Alicia entered the room with a tray in her hand again, she walked over towards you and Dante and took the plates and glasses from you *Weird… as if she knew we were finished* you thought as you looked at Alicia’s retreating form, once again closing the door behind her. You picked up the book that was laying beside you and continued to flip through the pages from where you last stopped.

Dante moved closer to you again as you were still flipping through the pages “Ouch!” you suddenly yelled holding your right hand with your left hand and pointing your index finger out while you held the other four back. “What’s wrong Lilly?” Dante asked moving closer to you again and looking at you, you held your right hand up and pointed your index finger at him “Paper cut” you said while laughing slightly. Blood was starting to seep out of the cut on your finger, Dante looked at your finger that you held in front of him his expression turning from worry to bewildered.

You saw the way Dante was staring at your finger and this puzzled you, suddenly Dante grabbed a hold of your wrist and pulled you forward a little and put your finger with the blood on it into his mouth sucking of the blood. You were completely caught of guard by this and you let out a gasp, Dante quickly took your finger out of his mouth and let go of your wrist and stood up “Lilly… I-I’m sorry about that I…” Dante said looking completely freaked out. He ran to his bedroom door opening it and then quickly closing it behind him. You sat there still shocked at what happened and your cheeks a little red, you brought your right hand closer to your face looking at your finger that was cut, and it had stopped bleeding.

Dante’s POV:

I ran out of my room closing my bedroom door behind me. Right next to the door I stood with my back against the wall, I looked up at the ceiling then straight in front of me *What on earth have I just done… damn that was so stupid, I seriously didn’t think!* I thought to myself and slapped myself on the face *This is only the second day that you’ve known her and now you go and do something so stupid… what on earth is she gonna think of you now!* I though and cupped my face in my hands. I slid down against the wall till I was sitting on the floor *But… I just couldn’t help myself… I just really wanted a taste, the smell already drove me crazy… I just couldn’t resist… her blood tastes so… good* I thought to myself and looked up at the ceiling. I licked my bottom lip and closed my eyes remembering the flavour as the taste still lingered on my lips. *I have to think of something to tell her… an excuse why I did what I did, cause I can’t tell her the truth* I thought and looked at my bedroom door letting out a huge sigh.
