Forbidden Love

Chapter 16

As soon as Saera started to struggle, Derek was certain her Vampire slayer skills had been awakened to its fullest. He had learnt from his Mom that the Forbe's slayer skills were unique and would trigger when they were amidst a vampire in it's true form. Derek standing in front of her right now in his real self, a true creature of the night, must be the reason why Saera's slayer instincts were taking action.

This was not supposed to have been the outcome. I crossed my limit. I better leave before its too late. Derek changed back to his usual self but it seemed that Saera was unable to take control of her self just yet. Looking at her for the final time, he turned to leave keeping in mind to dissapear from school for a month in the least, when suddenly a hand grabbed him by the back of his leather jacket.

Saera was panting hard.Her grip tightened on his jacket. Her hand had moved unconsciously as soon as he had turned to leave. She was aware that her consciousness was sucked in and the slayer she was within was taking over. So this is what Granma meant when she said there's another person residing inside each one of us Forbes waiting for her turn to spring out so she could pounce and take over control to do away with the vampire. Her Grandmother's nonstop jabbering was starting to make sense to her.

Her grip seems to be quite hard than the usual soft touch of a young human girl. I guess its not just the slayer instincts but strength which passes through the Forbes legacy . Derek thought to himself while trying to think of a way to get himself out of this situation.

Saera forced herself to take her hands away from him but she just couldn't. It was beyond her. Then without any notice she sprang at him. But Derek was too quick to be taken by surprise by her. He moved to his side swiftly yet delicately.

"Derek... Get out of here. I've never felt this violent before." Saera managed to say. She continued to throw sudden attacks at him which he successfully dodged. Derek himself was reaching his limits. Being so close to a human made his senses flare. Her smell was sickening and addictive to him. The vampire inside him was battling to be let out.

Unable to resist any more, Derek caught hold of Saera by the back of her head and pulled her close to him with only an inch apart between them. He gazed at her longingly while she stared back unable to make out what he was thinking. His face was on the verge of changing once again to that of a blood sucker. A low gasp escaped Saera's lips.

Derek slid his hand downwards touching the back of her neck. She felt the icy coldness against her bare skin. She couldn't move. His grip on her was nothing human. Derek bent over slightly reducing the little gap which was between the two of them. he could already taste the blood which was running through out her body. Just the thought of it forced his fangs to break free out of its sheaths.

Saera gasped in pain as he sank his fangs into her tender neck and let her hot bloodb flow into his mouth. Warmth seeped into him unlike ever before. the feel of his razor sharp fangs against her skin frightened her. Derek moaned in pleasure. He had forgotten what it was like to drink human blood. He let the blood flow freely into his mouth tasting every bit of it.

Saera's legs were failing to hold onto her. Derek put his arms around her waist holding her close to him. He knew he had to stop before it was too late. He had already had too much of her blood. He was committing a crime right now, breaking the truce pact between his Kind and the Slayers.

Her eyes started to flutter as she was falling unconscious. No matter how desperately hard he tried to make his himself pull away he couldn't. Being without human blood for so long had enhanced his thirst for blood. He was ravenous and right now he was trying to fulfill it from Saera.

He couldn't continue any longer. With a yell Derek tore himself from Saera and dashed backwards his back hitting hard against the wall. He was breathing heavily. he had let go of her too quick. Being in her unconscious state, she was falling to the ground with nothing to support her. before her head hit hard on the floor he darted towards her and caught hold of her lying her gently on the ground.

Even with her blood drained and her face looking pale Derek still found Saera amazingly beautiful. He caressed her cheek tenderly. They were cold due to lack of blood.

"I'm sorry for what I've done. You left me no choice. You tempted me too much Saera Forbes! I hope you never forgive me. Fear me. Stay away from me entirely. Your the last person I ever want to see getting hurt." Derek stood up gazing at her with longing affection and then he was out of school with the blink of an eye leaving behind an unconscious young Vampire slayer wrapped tightly with his jacket.

After many days of sleepless nights and frightening nightmares Saera finally found peace in her sleep as she roamed the depths of darkness.
