Chapter 7. Forgot the new folks

I think our relationship is growing stronger. We almost kissed at the main house. We have dove head first into this thing we have going. We're sneaking every kiss we can, every hug, and he will do anything to keep me fed. It's so romantic. School started a few days ago, but I convinced mom and daddy to let Colby stay with us. The moving truck is gone, and I haven't really cared enough to check out the new neighbors because of Colby taking all of my time. Today we made out in the back of the bus. He kissed me in front of the main house when the bus pulled away. I think some of the neighbors noticed, not that we have many other than the new ones. He comes up for air and whispers "follow me and close your eyes." I close my eyes and he grabs my hand. When he finally lets go, we are in this beautiful place in the woods where we can even see the new neighbors house as clear as day. I'm excited. "Did you do all this?" He nods his head yes while I'm still looking around. I hug him tightly around the neck and snuggle a little bit. I feel my eyes change color and by now I'm used to it, but this one feels different. I feel like we're being watched. He looks at me and comments "Well that's a new color. What's wrong?"
"I don't know. I feel like we're being watched. It's creepy."
He's doubtful.
"Okay, well listen, you haven't fed in almost a week, and I don't think anyone is watching, so why not now?"
He is wearing that ridiculously adorable smile. He knows that I almost always give in when he looks at me that way. Just part of his charm I guess. I wait two or three seconds stubbornly, then look at him and give in. I sighs before speaking.
"Fine."
He smiles a triumphant smile, and I mutter the words "sneaky little devil" under my breath. He smirks. I come close to him, and wonder if we are ready. He puts his hands in the back pockets of my skin tight jeans and pulls me closer. I kiss his lips gently before I adjust his neck. I bite hard. It's amazing, but this time it's different. My temperature is rising fast, my hunger is sky rocketing, my breathing is accelerating. I don't know what's going on!!! I have to pull out fast. I whip out my pocket mirror and my eyes are blood red. Just then the new girl that just moved in comes running down the road right by our spot. Turns out that the hole in the bushes is a two way street. She sees everything. The blood, fangs, and everything else. Colby and I look at each other, knowing what we have to do. In an instant Colby has her down while I tie her up and gag her. We carry her back to my place. Once there I close and lock every possible exit route. Then we untie her. She fears me, so instead she attacks Colby who is sitting guard over the door. She's yanking his hair out strand by strand when I am finally able to rip her off of him. "Look new girl, if you keep it up, we are gonna have to tie you back up. No one can hear you. We are about a mile away from the nearest living human that is not in this room, so unless you want to be beat senseless after screaming you lungs out, keep it to yourself." I can hear her tasty little heartbeat from here. She's scared out of her mind. I'm still pretty hungry from earlier. I've got to calm her down before I do something bad. I roll my eyes over to the left for effort. "Look kid, I know what you just saw was a little intense, and we may come across as a little edgy, but you got to calm yourself. You don't want anything bad to happen, and neither do any of us, so just calm down." She seems a little relaxed, but it's not enough. "Now would you like us to explain to you what it was exactly that you just saw?"
Her heartbeat slows down some as she nods her head to say yes.
"Well I'm not giving full details, but I'm part vampire, and this is my loving boyfriend. He brought me to that special place you saw us at, and tried to feed me. That is, until my hunger got way out of control. Then you walked by as I was letting go."
She is still scared really really bad, but not as bad as she was at the beginning. It getting too much to bear. Colby turns and looks at me. He thinks at me "what's going on? What's making you so hungry?" I think back "It's her heartbeat. It's too fast. It's driving my senses crazy!" He looks at me worried, and we both look back at the scared girl. I feel my fangs extend, and I go into the kitchen. Strangely the girl follows me from what she thinks is a safe difference. I open the fridge to get a "snack" and the girl about faints. Oh yea. Real smart, opening the fridge with the scaredy cat right behind you. Real smart. I'm an idiot. Colby goes to catch her and misses. She almost hits the floor until I use a levitation spell on her. Now she's standing. I blindfold her and sit her down in a chair so that we can get on with it. I sip my animal blood quickly in peace, even though it taste weird after so long on human blood. Colby isn't too happy about it either. He's cute when he's pouting. I silently giggle to myself at the thought. I finish my blood, even thought I'm still pretty much starving and continue on.
"I'm going to let you go, but you can't leave. Now look, I only have a few options here, and I want you to agree on something, but that probably won't happen, so let's go over the choices, shall we.
1) I could drink all of your blood until you're nothing but a pulp and feed you to the local wolf pack. For the record, that is only if you misbehave.
2) I could turn you into a blood drinking demon of the night.
3) I could make you my own personal slave.
4) we could all wait around for the counsel to come and kill us. Normal life while we can right?
5) I could kill you quickly and painlessly.
Take your pick."
She's too scared to speak, but she can move. She's trying to move out the door but failing. She holds up 3 fingers, even though we both know that she could not even remotely want to be fetching anything for me, thinking it maybe covered in blood.
"Before I do this, ask any questions you want to ask, and tell me your name."
"Okay, 1) what is he if you bit him, and 2) my name is Kate."
Might as well answer.
"Well my loving boyfriend here is my slave, unfortunately, but I don't give him many commands. And as for names, you can call me Cheyenne. Are you ready?"
She nods her head and takes a deep breath.
"Hang on. Do you really want me to turn you into my human slave when I could just make you a vampire?"
"Well no, but you said that I'd be a bloodsucking demon of the night."
"Sweetie, that was an exaggeration. You'll just be a bloodsucking immortal that has to use sunblock during the day."
I think her face fell a little...more.
"I think I like the first explanation better."
Well that's convenient. (Sarcasm)
"Well you only have two choices then. 1) become my human slave, or 2) become a vampire, which is it?"
"... I can't decide! You pick it for me!"
"Alright then. Come here."
She gets up and walks over to me. She cranes her neck and closes her eyes, ready for pain. "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
