The Beginning Of The Change: Chapter Three:
We made it to his home as the sun was setting.
Once inside the house Adrian collapsed on one of the chairs sitting in the foyer of his home.
"Are you okay?" I asked concerned for him.
"I just haven't fed in a couple of days is all. I'll be fine." he said in an exhausted voice.
"Well just give me a few minutes and I'll help you fix your bed." she said softly not knowing how to help him.
"Okay. Thanks." he said softly to her.
"Is there anything that I can make a bed with for baby Jack?" I questioned as I shifted baby Jack's weight to my other arm.
"I believe there is some extra blankets in the hallway closet." he said in a weak voice.
I went and got the blankets and fixed baby Jack a bed in the bedroom Adrian showed me to, then I went and helped Adrian get into his bed.
As I helped him get in the bed he told me not to worry that he would be okay, and for me to get some rest.
"If you need anything, I'm right down the hall. Just wake me up." I said as I walked out and closed his door.
I finally got in bed after I checked on baby Jack, and made sure that he was sleeping.
I dreamed of many different things. I dreamed I was in the house again watching every detail of what happened to my family. I dreamed that Adrian had not saved me from the werewolves, and I was beginning to dream-
"Cecilia, wake up!" I was being shaken by two strong, cold hands.
"What is it?" I asked as I opened my eyes to look at Adrian.
"I need to feed." he said in a grave voice.
"Well I'll stay here with the baby and you can go do what you need to do." I said sitting up.
"I don't have the strength to hunt, I need blood now!" Adrian choked trying to get his words out.
"Do you have a bottle- Oh! I understand." I said feeling my face go pale.
"I am terribly sorry for having to do this, Cecilia." he said sitting on the edge of the bed.
I closed my eyes as he leaned forward and kissed me lightly in the lips and then moved his lips to my neck. After a few seconds of his lips lingering on my skin, I felt the piercing tips of his fangs break the skin.
"Adrian?" I asked mentally, not realizing that this was said in my head and not out loud.
"What?" he replied sounding a little scared.
"What's happening?" I asked pushing through darkness that clouded his mind.
"I-I don’t know. This hasn't ever happened to me before." Adrian said trying to keep me out of his thoughts.
"Don't push me away. Please? I want to help you." I pleaded.
"I don't know if you should see this." he said in a voice that said he was afraid I'd turn away from him.
I didn't know how to tell him that I wouldn't so I just said, "I can't help you if you don't show me what you need help with."
"This is how I got changed, and I'm afraid that I might hurt you the same way I was hurt." he said gently.
"How is that exactly?" I wondered.
"I had my throat ripped out. I know it can happen pretty easily if you know how to do it right. A vampires strength is very unpredictable, and if not controlled, can be deadly for those around the vampire." he said slowly.
"You have enough control. I believe that with all my heart." I said as I felt the beginnings of something new.
"I need control now, I'm taking to much blood." he said sounding strained.
"Will yourself to stop." I said just before blackness took over my brain, and I passed out.
Adrian paced back and forth at the foot of the bed, anxiously waiting for me to wake up. Turns out he had taken a lot of my blood, but he had been able to quit after I had passed out.
I must have made some kind of noise because within seconds of me opening my eyes, he was next to me.
"How do you feel?" I asked him softly.
"How do I feel? How do you feel? You're the one who passed out on me." he said a little shakily. He reached out and gently moved a strand of hair away from my face.
"I'm fine don't worry about me." I said to reassure him.
"I took a lot of blood, maybe you should rest for a couple of days." he suggested.
"And leave you with a baby that you don't even know how to take care of?" I scoffed.
"I've watched you for the past couple hours, and taken care of him. I'm pretty sure I can do it." he said determined.
"That has been for how many hours? Have you fed him? Changed his diapers?" I had to ask because I doubted that he had.
"I fed him, but uh, I don't like the diapers thing they smell horrible." he said looking at baby Jack who was sitting up and biting on one of the covers.
"Well that's just part of taking care of the baby, if you can't do it then I have to get up!" I said with a shrug of my shoulders and a smile playing at the corner of my mouth.
"No, no, no. I can do this. I can really do this. Promise. You just lay back down." I wanted to laugh at him because you could tell he couldn't do it.
Baby Jack giggled out like he knew it too.
I couldn't help but let out a little giggle.
Adrian looked at me and baby Jack and started to smile because he knew that we thought it was funny because he couldn't do this.
"Well bring baby Jack over here, and my bag, and let me change his diaper once to show you how it's done." I said laughing at his facial expression.
"And then you promise that you'll get some rest?" he said eyeing me suspiciously.
"Yes, I will rest." I said in agreement.
He brought me my bag and handed me Jack, and I showed him how to change his diaper. Adrian said it looked easy and that he could handle it, but the fear of messing it up flashed across his face. This was going to be interesting.
"Okay, baby Jack. It's time to go to bed, and go to sleep." I said as baby Jack yawned causing me to yawn.
I handed baby Jack back to Adrian and he put him in his bed. Baby Jack fell asleep within minutes of laying down. Adrian walked over to me and sat down on the edge of the bed as I layed down and got comfortable.
"I'll come in and check on you in the morning." Adrian said quietly so he didn't wake up baby Jack.
"Okay. Good night. I hope you sleep well." I said as my eyelids became very heavy.
"Good night, Cecilia Claire. Sweet dreams." he said as he leaned in and gave me a good night kiss and then went to his own room to sleep.
