Bloody Love

Unexpected Outcome

Williams POV

William snuggled closer to Alice, enjoying her warmth. She was sleeping peacefully. He knew without a doubt that he had caused her peace and that meant the world to him. In this moment he didn't care about the consequences of his actions; all he cared about was the beautiful girl sleeping next to him. They had talked until she couldn't keep her eyes open. She grabbed his hand and laced her fingers through it,mumbling,"Stay." He loved that she just grabbed him. It was surprising, exhilarating! He could easily bleed her dry but he'd rather give her a knife and let her cut him open and drink first. He didn't think she'd do it but he wasn't one hundred percent sure. She had told her mother she liked the taste of blood when she was younger, so maybe she would want a taste of him. He chuckled and kissed her shoulder. Alice turned over to face him and smiled,"Hi there. You weren't in my dreams. Why not?" William frowned,"I was right here, holding you...all night long. Being in dreams makes me thirsty. It takes a lot of energy. I didn't want to have to leave you while you were asleep. I was afraid you'd wake up to find me gone and think I left you."

Alice searched his face something, concentrating,"Are you thirsty now? There are blood bags here, you wouldn't have to go far. I could wait here and you could go do... vampire stuff and then you could come back."

William smiled and grabbed her, his voice low and teasing,"Aren't you afraid that if I had to choose between drinking from a blood bag and drinking you, I'd drink you?"

Alices' eyes widened and she moved back a little. William let her her go, silently cursing himself. Don't joke about drinking her blood, you idiot! What were you thinking?" He was just about to backpedal when she whispered,"You'd choose the blood bag so you wouldn't loose me. Wouldn't you? I mean if you want a drink you can have one but...wouldn't it be hard to stop drinking? And besides...I don't seem to be your preferred blood type, and-"

William pulled her close again and kissed her, his mouth hard and insistent, trying to convey to her his longing. She gasped in surprise and moved her lips synchronization with his. Her hands entangled themselves in his hair. He sat up and pulled her into his lap, without breaking the kiss. If her lips tasted this good and felt this good, the blood coursing through her veins would light a fire within him if he dared taste it. William pulled away. He stared into Alice's eyes and said confidently,"You are absolutely, positively, without a doubt my preferred blood type. But...how could I possibly kiss you and drink from you at the same time?" Alice laughed breathlessly,"You're smooth Will. I bet you say that to all the girls." William cupped her face," Every other human being is just a beverage to me." He meant it too. When he looked at other people all he saw was the carotid artery(the carotid artery was the main source of blood supply to the face. It was also messy if he sliced it open too far). He felt his fangs elongate and he looked away from Alice so she wouldn't see them. She seemed to know something was wrong though because she touched his face and spoke softly,"Will? Are you thirsty? Will. Look at me. Please?"

William groaned. Damn, she said please. And now I'm gonna turn my head and look into her eyes and she's gonna cry and whimper. And...I'm gonna wanna...

Stop it Will! You can do this. She probably doesn't even taste that good! Oh, you liar, you know she tastes good! Alice touched his cheek again,"Do I need to get off of you? Tell me what to do."

Tell her something! Tell her that your thirsty. Tell her it'll just take five minutes and she shouldn't move an inch while your gone. Will opened his mouth and said,"I'm very thirsty. My fangs are out. And...you smell so good. Your blood is calling my name. I can barely resist it. You have two choices Alice. One: You can get off me and I can go find a blood bag and come back and hold you to me. Two: I can drink from you. I don't really want to. I mean...I want to, but...you're not a beverage. You're Alice. My Alice." He looked at her. There were tears in her eyes. The thirst relented a little bit and his fangs retracted. The sight of her tears pushed all thoughts of blood away. "What's wrong  Alice?"She looked at him, tears still swimming in her eyes, like tiny dolphins. "I don't know. I just got scared."

William gently kissed her and then laid her back down on the bed. "I'll be back. I'll gulp down a few blood bags and then come back.. I'll lay next to you when I get back, okay?" Alice nodded,"I'm sorry Will. Please come back after you get a drink. I sleep better when you're here."

Will smiled, "I know. I will. I promise." He turned and left, heading to where the hospital kept the blood bags. He was halfway there, when he saw one of his boss' cronies leaning against a wall.

"William....the boss wants to see you."

Thoughts raced through Williams' mind. What does the boss want? Could I outrun his crony? Probably but he didn't want to leave Alice. So he said,"Take me to your leader."

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

William sat in a chair in front of his boss's desk. Nobody knew what the boss's name was, they just called him Boss.

Boss was a very businesslike person. He never smiled or laughed, didn't give an order twice, and he definitely didn't give second chances. He always wore a suit and his shoes were shined. Boss was a no-nonsense guy. So William wasn't surprised to have been summoned here.

Boss sat at his desk and looked William over. William stared back, determined not to seem guilty before he was accused of something. Boss cleared his throat and asked," I trust you know why you've been called here? "

William shook his head,"No Boss I don't. Is something wrong?"

Boss sighed,"Yes William, something is very wrong. It's about your Person...Alice. I have reason to suspect that you...love her."

William did his best to sound confused,"We all love our Person. That's why we are assigned to them, to remember how to love."

The Boss leaned closer,"I think it's more than that. I think you've tasted her blood."

William shook his head. "No Boss, I haven't. You have faulty intel. Whoever your source was they wasted your time. Can I go now sir? I was on my lunch break and I'm rather parched."

Boss looked at him,"You don't love this girl? Not even if I said you could have her?"

William looked right at Boss. "What if I did love her...more than I should? Could she be mine?"

Boss considered this. "The laws state that we cannot feed on the person assigned us.

William started to object," I will not-"

Boss cut him off,"Silence. The laws say we cannot feed on them or touch them. Have you touched her? Don't answer that. I smell her on you. Does she love you?"

William thought about that. She craved his touch and slept better in his arms. Did that amount to love? He decided to tell the truth as he knew it. "She hasn't said the words. To be fair, I haven't either. This is new though, I don't want to frighten her."

The boss considered this as well. "But you plan to say it, surely?"

William nodded,"When the time is right, yes."
Boss sighed,"I suppose you have found love. Go! Be with her! Oh....for the walk." Boss tossed William two blood bags.

William bowed and left the office.
