The Vampires That Lurk

CHAPTER 10

I woke up in.. a hospital? I'm laying on a white clean hospital bed. I look to my right and there Zayvion was looking back at me. He was sitting in a chair by the hospital bed. Was he seriously watching me sleep the whole time? I looked down at my clothes. I was wearing a hospital gown. I'm assuming the nur-

"Naomi." Zayvion said, interrupting my thoughts. I looked back at Zayvion. "Who did this to you? Who bit you?" My stomach dropped as I remembered what had happened. I rubbed where the guy had bit me, feeling a bandage.

"I don't kn-"

"Don't give me that bullshit, Naomi." He said, interrupting me again, I slightly flinch at his tone. "I swear I don't know. He had pulled me into a closet and the lights were off." I explained.

He sighed and muttered something under his breath.

"Why were you outside of the ballroom to begin with?" He questioned.

I got a little nervous.

"I had to use the bathroom and I saw you talking to a girl. So I just went— I'm really sorry." I explained and apologized.

"Just because I was talking to someone, doesn't mean you can't talk to me." He said.

I remain silent.

"How do you feel?" He asked, changing the subject. "I feel hot. Just a little." I replied. "The doctor said we're fine to leave once you wake up, can you walk?" He asked.

I nodded and watched Zayvion as he stood up. He walked next to my bed and watched me as I slid off of it. My legs felt weak, I stumbled and held onto Zayvion.

I was ready to protest that I could walk. But he didn't even ask. He just picked me up bridal style, earning a small gasp from me.

I didn't argue as he carried me out the room.

Once we made it out of the hospital, it became clear that it was connected to the mansion.

We finally made it to Zayvion's room. He sat on the bed, and I sat on his lap. He removed the bandage that was on my neck. "The mark should be fading. I had licked it after the nurse got done bathing you." He said.

I looked at the clock and it was 5pm.

Damn, how long was I sleep for?

Zayvion also looked at the clock.

"We have dinner later on with the people who live here. We get served breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily." Zayvion looked over at me. "If you're not feeling well, let me know. We don't have to go." He said and then pulled out his phone to call someone. I climbed out of his lap and sat beside him.

"Good afternoon, Agatha. Can you bring me a cup of blood?" He paused. "Any type will do." He paused again. "Thank you." He said, hanging up.

Not even 5 minutes later, Agatha came in with the cup of blood and handed it to Zayvion.

What was he planning to do with it?

"Thank you." He said, taking a sip of the blood.

"You're welcome, sir." She replied, leaving the room.

I felt a little sick watching Zayvion drink the blood. But he hasn't been drinking from me so I guess he needed to. After he finished drinking, he sat down the cup on his dresser. "I'm going to take a shower. You rest and I'll wake you up once you need to get ready." He said.

"Okay." I said, laying down on the bed. I watch Zayvion as he goes into bathroom. After a few minutes, I fall asleep.
