AN:// whew chile this story has been a long time coming lol. I started this in October 2022 for spooky Halloween vibes, but never got to finishing it! But here she is in all of its glory, the finale! Thanks for hanging with me! More stories to come.

My tastebuds tingle from the faint taste of Evan's blood.
He saved me, again.
"I don't understand!" Timothee exclaims. "Her neck has healed yet the smell of her blood is still so prevalent! Did Austin harm her elsewhere? I can't take it anymore!"
Klaus stops Timothee from nearly pouncing on me.
"Get some rest Timothee." He quickly commands. "You can control it, go to your room little brother."
"Austin.. he's a deadman." Evan grits through his teeth. "Where is she bleeding from? Why didn't my blood heal it?"
"I'm impressed brother." Klaus chimes in as he closes the door to the parlor on Timothee's way out. "Alex's blood spilled all throughout the house, yet not once has your ripper gene activated.. Not even the mark of l'amour vrai is challenging your need to feast. How do you do it brother?"
"My love for Alex is greater than any gene or curse." Evan admits. "And yourself? How come you're not as affected as Timothee."
Klaus shrugs. "Oh Timothee might be a few hundred years old but he's still the youngest vampire in our home. I guess I'm old enough to know better. Also, I made a promise to myself and to Alex as well. A promise that I'd never harm her.. A promise to never let the mark of l'amour vrai win me over like it did my very first love."
Eavesdropping in on their conversation, I let my eyes dart open. Healed from the blood loss, I touch my neck and the punctures are gone.
They've carried me to the parlor downstairs where I lay on a velvet couch, they watch over me closely.. worried about my wellbeing.
"Take it easy." Evan helps sit me up. "You almost lost every bit of your blood, I got to you just in time."
"Alex, what the hell happened?" He continues to panic. "Where are you still hurt? I can't seem to stop the bleeding."
"That's because I'm not injured." My tired voice barely supplies. "I'm on my cycle.. I can't help the bleeding, no one can."
Instantly Evan and Klaus begin to blush in embarrassment.
"Oh.." Evan stutters. "I see.."
Klaus chuckles. "Oh the joys of being a fertile woman in a house full of vampires."
"You need a sanitary napkin!" Evan jolts to a conclusion. "It's been years since I've even thought of their existence, but when I was an alive man, that's what women used. I shall find you a cloth!"
"A cloth?" I scoff. "Maybe temporarily, but no, I need something that absorbs."
"A dish sponge?" Klaus inquires.
