Between the Sheets

All Hollows Eve [Part 2]

He sucks on my neck as he empties himself, and as he stills himself, he pulls both of us up.

I'm not sure what just happened. I think I'm in shock.  I look up over at him, or I try to, but I feel paralyzed. When I do see him I swear I see dripplets of blood on the side of his mouth.

"You're so beautiful" he tells me.

His fingers were caressing gently through my hair. "Hush now, just a little while longer," he says.

I watch as he licks his lips smiling at me as if he knew what was going on. I still couldn't move though.

"I know Yasmin, you want to know what is going on," he says.

I want to nod, say yes but I can't do anything. He lays me down. Standing, I watch as he closes the curtains in the living room and kitchen, then dresses. He leans down kissing my forehead.

"I have been looking for you for years, my love," he says. A tear slips down my cheeks "Don't cry we will be together now forever. Once the presses is done" he tells me.

"What do you do to me" I ask

I could talk again, I sit up feeling a little lightheaded.

"Ease now, you're still weak," he says. "I have to go find you some blood"

"Something" I ask

"If you don't feed within an hour, you will die. I will return shortly. Stay away from the windows. Sunlight will kill you," he tells me.

"What did you do to me?"

"I'll explain when I return I have to go now" he says

He leaves me alone. I don't know what to do. I grab my dress off the floor and pull it on, and then I get hungry all of a sudden. Going to the kitchen I try to find something to eat. I try some leftover pizza first. After eating I end up throwing up. Maybe some tea will be better after drinking the tea, I throw it up as well. I am over the kitchen sink when Nyx comes back.

"You tried to eat, didn't you?" he said.

"I'm starving" I tell him.

"Ok, you're not going like this but here you go"

He sets a huge jug of red liquid on the table. My eyes widen as I look at the substance in the jar.

"Is that what I think it is" I ask.

"Yes"

"Thats so gross, I'm going be sick again"

"You need to eat" he says.

"I can't eat that"

"You'll die if you don't"

He opens the lid, and a sweet scent comes from inside it. I can't help but lick my lips.

"Yasmin, you are a vampire now. To survive, you must drink," he tells me.

"And if I don't"

"You will die and all my hard work will have been for nothing"

"I don't even believe in vampires" I tell him.

He laughs, "You will drink now," he tells me.

"Can't I drink a small amount" I ask.

"The whole thing," he says, shaking his head.

"You bite me"

"I did and I will do it over and over and over again"

I grab the jug taking a drink from it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I took some more drinking some more. Nyx smiles as he watches me drink until it's all gone. I lick my lips as I'm done.
