Valkyrie - The Vampire Princess

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Everything was fine. I had the strength to stand up and resume my routine.

Before we returned to the castle and joined the others, I wanted to discuss another subject, questions that were saved in me and I needed answers.

"Why aren't you attracted by our species?" my voice forced its tone as I asked him.

Eros did not expect me to mention this subject. His face responded to my question more quickly.

He grimaced at me, continuing grave.

"The warm blood flowing in the vein of humans is a challenge for me. It makes me hot too!" he responded looking to the side. "Their heartbeat ...Everything is fantastic!"

However he continued. I sensed an excitement in him when he described his expectations. It made me not feel well.

How I hated being a vampire!

I had none of those features described by him.

"We have nothing of it! We're cold! Our hearts don't beat any longer ..." he said without enthusiasm and his gaze met nothing away from me.

After that I lowered my head lamenting all things said by him. How difficult it was to hear that.

"It means you are lost to me," I supposed disappointed and bit my under lip.

In next to no time he moved closer and touched my arm with his cold fingers. I raised my head up and gazed into his supernatural face.

"See it! I feel nothing when I touch you! We're cold!"

My head bowed. I lost the ground with his words.

He dropped my arm and made a short retreat.

"There's something more I need to know ..." I begged.

But he waited attentively for my next question. This moment he would be prepared. I moved in front of him, looked into his gray eyes to prove the veracity in his answer.

"Have you already felt attracted to me?" I stared at his eye's pupil. "When I was human?"

Discomfort invaded his stance. He had no enthusiasm to answer me. Little by little Eros shook his head.

"What difference does it make now? Why do you want to know that?" he asked me.

"I need to know!"

He sniffed before answering.

"...Yes..."

His answer seemed honest, and then I could see it in his fearless eyes.

His 'YES' came to my mind as a good thing and bad at the same time.

Good - because I knew one day he'd wanted me and I had been present in his thoughts...

Bad - because I would never be desired by him again, everything had been in the past.

"When?" intolerant, I ordered, wishing he could go into detail of exactly when he felt desire for me.

"Twice..." his voice was low and so sweet.

Even so I insisted "When? Tell me!"

He walked toward me, in silence. I had no idea what he would do. Now it was his turn to stand in front of me. He stared into my eyes, raised his hands up and held my head. Then an energy that accompanied his hands made him show me the two times I insisted on knowing.

They were going through my mind as if I was again reliving those magic moments.

THE FIRST TIME occurred at the Rock and Roll concert.

When he touched his face on my neck, rubbing his lips on my delicate skin, it was a way to keep him under control. My blood was exchanged, half-human and half- vampire, that way my smell would stop him craving human blood. I didn't attract him in this aspect.

"Are you okay?" I asked seeing his strange reaction. I had never seen him that way, uncontrollable.

"The smell of your blood makes me calm," he responded as soon as his face came away from my neck. I felt his cold breath, almost stopping.

THE SECOND MOMENT came minutes before I become a vampire.

He put his lips on my neck.

My heart's beating and my heavy breathing came up to his ears like a pleasing melody, an invitation to sink his teeth into my trembling flesh.

Then I looked up at the dark ceiling. A strange feeling came over my body. A burning sensation went through my flesh. It seemed I was on fire, and then I closed my eyes to allow myself to abandon in Eros's pleasant bite.

Being bitten by a blood sucker should be somewhat unpleasant and Eros made it ... Tasty.

It was easier for him to make me see the scenes, what had happened. If he could describe them, they would not come across as perfect.

At the end of the images in my mind, he removed his hands away from my head.

More than ever I wished to become human again, that was my goal, to stop being a vampire. I just didn't know if it would be possible and what it would cost me...

One thing was certain. I was willing to pay some price to have that privilege.

Becoming human and winning the presumed love of Eros.

"I would exchange my immortality for your love!" I said, even more passionate.

Eros said nothing. Just put his hands on my face, making a circular motion and I saw that as a manner of affection. The expression on his face seemed loving. He was grateful for the deep love I felt for him.

Perhaps no one loved him in such a way as I loved him.

He removed his hands from my face and went up into the air. Then he disappeared almost immediately.

I stayed there for some time, memorizing all our conversation.
