'Am I really about to do this? Really going to drink blood from this asshat... drink blood at all? Why did it have to be him? The answer, Yes unfortunately yes. I am walking down the hallway with Ryder right this minute.' I thought walking next to him.

"What's it going to be like?" I asked looking sideways up at Ryder.

"I truly have no idea hun, I'm sorry," He said staring straight ahead. I didn't say anything, just rubbed the back of my neck nervously. 

Ryder touched my arm pulling me to a stop. "Whatever is about to happen today, remember you aren't alone, okay?" Ryder said trying to comfort me. I nodded, smiling at his attempt to comfort me, I tried to start walking again but Ryder wouldn't let me.

          Ryder put his hands on either side of my face, lowering his lips to mine...His lips were so soft and gentle. I didn't mean to kiss him back I swear, any relationship with him is not a good idea... but I did kiss him back and that's when the kiss got heated, One of his hands went to my waist pulling me flush up against him the other went to the back of my neck. I wrapped my arms around his, digging my fingers into his hair. I know I should stop the kiss but physically I was unable, the kiss was mind melting, breath hitching, and a weak kneed kind of kiss.

Gathering the strength I withdrew from his embrace, laughing to myself when Ryder's eyes were glazed over, slightly glowing and his hands were still in the position they were on my body. Finally collecting himself he dropped his hands to his sides.

"so um, that was unexpected..." I said, my cheeks slightly red.

Ryder smirked and said "Yea sorry I keep doing that but glad you enjoyed it." And then he winked!

Scoffing I said, "Don't let it go to your head. Oh and I wasn't the one in a daze after the kiss, so who enjoyed it more?" 

"Shall we get going then?" Ryder asked still smirking.

Ryder grabbed my hand giving it a squeeze as we walked down the hallway...'I am in such deep shit.' I thought

         We walked in to what could only be the throne room in all it's gaudy glory. Medieval, black and red curtains covering parts of the stone walls and tied together at the bottom with gold rope, only thing that would make it a perfect vampire throne room is if the throne was made out of human bones...it wasn't.

         And then there was Norrix, the asshat just lounging upon his throne like he owned the place...well I guess he did really. But there will be no bowing. Norrix's eyes latched on to where Ryder's and my hands were still entwined then he looked at Ryder and smiled so fast that I wasn't sure he even did smile.

"Hello Tana, excited to become part vampire?" Norrix asked in a bored tone.

"Haven't I apparently always been part vampire." I asked in the same bored tone as Norrix.

"Touche, ready?" Norrix asked standing up and walking over to the bar in the corner picking up a small glass and a wine glass, pouring a brown liquid into the small glass before blocking the view of the wine glass with his back. While his back still to me he asked, "Tana would you like a drink before we get started?"

'Oh god yea, like four would be good!' I thought. "Yes. please" I said nervously letting go of Ryder's hand and joining Norrix at the bar.

        He turned around handing me a glass of wine and said, "I figured you'd prefer wine over the other stuff I have." smiling. It was the type of smile that made you feel like you were being set up for something. I cautiously took a sip of the wine and the taste of the wine was undoubtedly the most wonderful thing I'd ever tasted, it was like tasting a sun soaked paradise. I gulped down the rest, handing the glass back to Norrix, as he took the glass back he just stared at me, like he was waiting for something to happen.
