Emerald Eyes

Chapter 4: The Atrocious Bliss

"Calm down." –I said. She was crying but didn't put up a fight.

"Please don't hurt me." –She whined.

"I promise I won't." –I meant it. I heard Callidora's laugh from behind. She had a playful look in her eyes. She was truly amused by this.

"Now, now." –She stepped forward. –"We shouldn't make promises we can't keep."

She took over control and pinned the girl to the wall. She fixed her jaw to the side. –"Scream and I will rip your tongue out of your mouth."

The girl remained silent but her face was wet and sticky from the amount of tears that had fallen on it. She squealed like a hurt puppy.

"I won't do it!" –I yelled. Callidora rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I was expecting you to say that."

"Well, you won't change my mind about it." –I tried to remain confident.

"Either you drink and you live or..." –She started talking but I interrupted her.

"Or you will kill me?" –I snapped because I didn't care anymore. Her eyes were on fire and that made me realize I shouldn't have spoken yet. She got mad and I took a step back.

"I will not kill you. You will not die easily. You won't drink for a couple of days and you will starve. Day after day the pain will get worse until it's unbearable and believe me; that's when you will lose all your common sense. You will hunt and you won't care what you butcher or where."

I was taken aback by her words. I didn't want to believe it.

"Then, you might get caught." –She added. –"If you get caught, people will burn you alive. And if they don't you will die either way. Slowly and painfully. You will beg everyone and everything to end your worthless life and you will pray to your beloved God to kill you himself."

I took a deep breathe to calm down.

"If you don't do it, I will. Her destiny is settled."

I was shaking and a tear fell down my cheek. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I took her wrist but before I could put it near my lips, Callidora stopped me.

"Wrist is for playing. Neck is for killing."

I felt like a monster but I did it. I tried not to hear the girl's cries and to shut my emotions down. My shaking lips were gently placed on her warm neck. The uneven breathing refreshed her skin and I felt the pulse. She was shaking. Callidora's nails were met with my mouth and she harshly pressed it on the girl's neck. It made a small hole and the blood started sliding to her collar bone.

"There." –She encouraged me.

The feeling of my teeth growing bigger and sharpening unpleasantly surprised me. I put them on the small wound and let them sink in, making a bigger damage. The girl's scream was weak.

I licked her salty neck and it hit my brain like a powerful drug. I couldn't think straight. It made my mouth open wider and I pushed my teeth down fast. I tore her skin open and the blood was flowing out of it freely. 

Beautiful. 

I sucked the liquid from it and my vision went blurry. I rolled my eyes in pleasure and held the girl's waist tightly. Suddenly every part of my body felt alive and awaken. I felt her warmth fill it and I noticed her blood flowing through my veins. Every muscle fatigued and I couldn't stand anymore. My kneels failed me and I fell on the ground with her in my arms. I sipped from the wound hard. 

My head felt dizzy while euphoria washed over me. I needed this. My hands shook so I dug my nails in her back to help me hold her. I nursed on her blood that gave me life. The smell of it was getting to my brain, hitting me with calming pleasure. My body regained strength and I opened my eyes. I tried to stop but my movements still couldn't be controlled. 

Therefore, I just kept repeating my actions like some brainwashed animal. I gulped the blood for some time until I felt my senses coming back to me. I slowly distanced my mouth from her neck. The sticky liquid was hanging from my teeth like a spider-web. Her eyes were shut and she was washed in blood from her jawline to her breasts. I even felt the skin on my face tightening due to it. My hands were stained in it and the blood even got dug into my nails.

I sat there peacefully while listening to a familiar sound. Callidora was sucking from the other side of her neck. It was like music to my ears now. I watched her, her eyes open but focused on drinking. She was frozen in place. I heard her trying to control her breathing. I let her feed. 

A few moments later, she pulled out of her and let go. The girl fell but neither of us cared. Callidora stepped closed. Her mouth, nose and jaw were bloody. She smoothly licked my neck and gently tickled the thin skin on my jawline. She licked the blood from my cheek and then, like a wild animal, grabbed my face with both of her hands. I fell down with her on top of me as she attacked my lips. I let her. She massaged her mouth on mine and then bit on my lower lip. I let her taste a drop or two of the blood. She rose and helped me get up.

"We need to get rid of the body." –I finally noticed.
