An Unholy Creation

Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

Theodore went to lift my head up so he could look into my eyes.

"No!" I didn't want him to see the blood stained tears.

"Katyla, look at me." Theodore just kept his hand on my chain.

I looked up. New tears started to spill, he was shocked.

"Your tears they are...umm... pinkish..." He was lost for words.

"Yes, they would be blood red, if I fed off humans. But since I don't, they are pinkish, as are my eyes." With that I dropped the spells I placed around me; they only hid my eyes.

"My God..." I could feel the shock go through him.

I turned away. "I never really wanted you to see me this way; I hid the color of my eyes." I knew he saw the reddish, pinkish color of my eyes.

"Why are they that color?"

"I am a dead being, my soul is trapped for eternity on this planet, I have to survive on blood, and I choose animal blood."

Theodore just looked in my eyes for a moment, and then did something that truly shocked me, he kissed me. It was a feather light kiss, just a brushing of the lips. "No more lies, Katyla."

"No more. I promise you, no more lies to you, and once I tell Marcus the truth, no more to him." I can't believe he wasn't kicking me out, yelling at me to stay away, he was holding me, and he kissed me.

"What are you going to tell Marcus?"

"Nothing, his memories are coming back to him, he may have a few questions about the last two thousand years, but he is remembering everything now. I must warn you when he comes of age and I turn him, he may start acting more like my Marcus then your Marcus, they are one in the same."

"Let's cross the bridge when we get there. So what have you done in the past two thousand years?" Theodore was curious now about the men in my life; that I saw clear as day. I laughed.

"I wrote books on Shakespeare, and other people of ancient time, Cleopatra is a vampire you know? Of course she is also my ex-husband's lover, I changed her for him. She spells her name with a K now." I rolled my eyes, I created her and she acts like she is above me. "Shakespeare was a total bore, and annoying. Other than that, the last few centuries, I have been going to school, high school, college; I even fought for the woman's right to vote, Susan was a very interesting woman to be around. I have written textbooks, I have written fiction, I have forged documents, I have fought in wars. There are so many things, I was a famous artist, famous writer, an actress, but they all died under mysteries circumstances. But never once did I find someone like you."

"Like me how?"

"Someone who smells so sweet, someone whose kisses I want more then their blood. I have only ever been with my husband and that was almost six thousand years ago and when Marcus was born, we had separate rooms, I had my heir."

"What is this about me smelling so sweet?"

"Human blood is sweet, vampires crave it, and being around it is a huge temptation, when I was younger, I didn't even try to stop myself until my son met his bride. We didn't kill mind you; we messed with the memories of the humans, the majority of the time. But there were accidents, I won't lie. I have barely been tempted in the last two thousand years, but you, I am torn between biting you and kissing you."
