Crimson Love

Chapter Twenty

Xander's POV

Ellie sang the whole way home, and it was pretty funny watching her. We pulled up to her house, and I decided to walk her inside. I saw her parents weren't home yet, so it was probably better that I didn't get confronted by them.

Ellie walked inside to her room, and sat on her bed. I sat next to her as she leaned her head on my chest. I could almost hear her heart beating through her artery on her neck.

I picked up Ellie, and planted a soft kiss on her lips. Her eyes seemed full of love as she kissed me back. I held her close and kissed her again on her lips. She felt so warm, so alive. Something I never felt like, but I wanted it.

I kissed her again, and she leaned her head against mine. I saw her smile, and I felt my senses speed up. I was hungry. She wrapped her hands around my neck as she whispered in my ear.

Ellie's POV

"I love you Xander. I'll always be here for you. . ." I trailed off as I felt something sharp graze my neck.

I tried to sit back to see what it was, but before I could my whole body was shot with a rush of pain. Xander was holding me still and I couldn't move. He was biting me!

I felt like someone had stabbed my neck. My limbs grew limp, and I couldn't move against Xander's iron grip. He held me tight I wondered if he would suffocate me before I died from the loss of blood.

"Xander, you're hurting me," I cried, trying to pull away.

Finally, His fangs ripped from my neck making me scream. I saw his blood covered fangs, as he licked his red stained lips. Before he could finish he shot his head forward, and looked at me almost as if he wasn't in control.

"Oh no, no no no no! Ellie stay with me!" He yelled as he lay me down on the bed.

My body felt so numb and I couldn't move, not one inch. I tried to talk but only small fragments came out.

"Xander. . . it. . ." Was all I heard myself say before it hurt too much to talk.

"Ellie, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Ellie stay with me you're gonna be fine!" I knew he yelled but it seemed as I could only hear in whispers.

I stared at the ceiling and my vision seemed to blur again. His red eyes stared into mine. My eyes began to flutter, and it was hard to keep them open. I could feel the blood dripping from my neck. I fought and fought to keep my eyes open but it was so hard.

Is this how I meet my end? Death by vampire? Just two months ago I didn't even believe vampires existed, but now they were everywhere. My boyfriend was a vampire. Why did he bite me?

Though he wasn't drinking my blood anymore the pain still remained in small sharp jabs. I wanted to flinch, but I still couldn't move.

"Ellie, please stay with me! I can stop the bleeding but you need to stay with me!" He yelled.

He bent down towards my neck and I felt something wet wipe across it. I felt it twice more before Xander looked back into my eyes. Did he just lick me?

I tried to ask him out loud, but nothing came out when I opened my mouth. My mind had gone blank, and slowly my vision went black.

The last words I heard before I lost consciousness were, "I love you, sweetheart. Please stay with me. Im so sorry!"

Ellie's POV

Opening my eyes, I found myself looking into a pair of crimson ones.
