Fair Trade

Chapter 23 - Just Bite

"Hello Mariah, long time no see." And I screamed. 

There was no fucking way. Absolutely no way in hell this was possible. Maricel and Stephanie stood before me in the room I shared with Logan. 

In no time, Stephanie had come around and covered my mouth, not letting me move at all. 

"Sh now, we wouldn't want to alarm the others now would we?" I clenched the necklace in my hand, hiding it from Maricel and Stephanie. If they saw it, they would for sure take it from me and that's something I cannot have happen. 

"Now, all we want is to kill you. Not hard. Won't hurt a bit. But we've been debating on how to do it. Should I just rip your head off? Or should Maricel have the pleasure since she is your sister. Well a sister that has been living under your shadow." I could feel Stephanie shaking her head. 

"Such as shame. Such a pretty girl, but such a bad sister. You know what? I think Maricel should kill you!" As she began to throw me to Maricel, she grabbed me back. 

"What's in your hand?" Shit! I clenched my hand, causing my knuckles to turn white, but it was no use against a vampire. Stephanie took the necklace from me. 

"No!" I yelled but she just slapped me and threw me to Maricel. Grabbing me by the hair, Maricel yanked me up to face her. 

"Looks like the shoes on the other foot." She smirked but I just glared at her. 

"You really are the pathetic, jealous girl everyone said you were." With that, she slapped me. 

"You have no right to talk to me like that! Not when your life is in my hands." 

"My life is never going to be in your hands! Want to kill me? Go ahead, I give you permission. And since I'm allowing you to, technically my life is in my hands, sweetie." She was getting pissed off by the second. 

"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!" She kept yelling until Stephanie told her to quiet down. I just smirked. She was right where I wanted her to be. 

"Make me." With that, her eyes turned black, as she pushed me against the wall, face inches away from my own. 

"I will no longer live in your shadows. I will no longer be the other twin. In fact, I will no longer have a twin to be compared to!" And she bit me. The pain was unbearable. I felt as if I was being stabbed in the throat by a knife. And I felt my blood leaving my body. She more she sucked, the move her eyes grew black and the more I was losing myself. I tried to push her away, but it was no use! She was strong and had the advantage. I could feel her smiling as she tortured me. I heard a loud bang, and Maricel finally released me to look at who had come. I dropped to the floor, raising my hand to my neck. It was throbbing me! I felt as if my neck was about to explode. 

I looked towards the door, but already knew who it was. Logan. He scanned the room, and when his eyes met mine, he ran for me, but was stopped by Stephanie. She lifted the necklace for everyone to see. 

"Oh no you don't. Take one more step, and I'll break it. And we all know what happens if I break it." She smirked. I wanted to slap her face. And I would of if my jealous bitch of a twin sister didn't just bite me! Everyone in the room froze, not sure of what to do. Logan looked at Blake who was holding hands with Serena and smiled. Turning back to Stephanie he took a step forward. 

"Break it. Go ahead. It won't affect me. It isn't the thing that keeps me alive anymore. It hasn't been for a while." Stephanie looked at him and looked at the necklace and smiled. She placed it in her hands and slowly crushed it. 

"No!" I yelled from where I was but I couldn't do much more. Yelling that alone was killing me. But Stephanie just continued to crush the necklace and smile, as did Logan who was now crossing his hands around his chest. When Stephanie saw that, she flinched. 

"Why aren't you-" He cut her off. 

"Dead? Like I said before, that necklace is not the thing I value most anymore." And with that, he lung forward, grabbing Stephanie by the neck, and yanking her head off as Blake followed behind and lit a match, burning the remains. And I thought Twilight battle scene was intense. 

Bae and Sarah had come to Maricel now, doing the same thing. She put up a fight, but Garrett and Jackie had come to help Bae and Sarah out. 

I felt a pair of hands pick me up. Looking up, it was Logan. A piece of hair had come on his forehead, Brushing it off, I smiled. He returned the smile and exited the room with me in his hands. 

"Am I going to die?" I could barley manage to get that out. Logan's smile grew. 

"Unfortunately no, you're stuck with me for a .... while I guess you can say. That is, if i can bite you in time. But I have time, don't worry." He carried me to Blake's room, where he went in and placed my on Blake's bed and laid on top of me. I help my hands up. 

"Wow, wow, wow, I mean you're hot and stuff but my neck is killing right now." He smiled and leaned down, face inches away from mine. 

"Listen Mariah, I know this might sound freaky, but I need to suck some blood out and give you some blood too. Or else, you're dead. Think you can handle that?" I nodded my head, and with one kiss on the forehead, he brought his head down to my neck where Maricel had bit. I held the bed so tight, but knuckles turned white as I waiting for the sharp pain to erupt again. He teased me at first, though, by kissing my neck and sending sharps all over my body, but I loved the sensation. 

"Here I go." And he bit into my neck. I let out a soft noise but it was followed by a moan. His bite wasn't like Maricel's. His was soft and gently, making my body want more. It felt amazing. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer as he smiled on my neck and continued to take blood for me. Sadly, this amazing feeling was cut short when he pulled back and came back to being inches away from me. I groaned. 

"No, don't stop!" He just smiled. 

"As much as I would love you continue with that sweet tasting blood, you already lost a lot. Time to give you some back." He got up and placed me on his lap, bring his naked wrist up to my mouth. 

"Just bite." He mumbled into my ear. I lift his hand up to my mouth and as I open my mouth, I felt something grow. Confused I looked at Logan and everything fell into place. I was now a vampire. Smiling, I raised his write back up and bit into his flesh. I took in every moment that his blood was pouring down my throat. It didn't taste like blood at all. It tasted perfect. I couldn't even put into words how his blood has tasted against my tong. I never wanted to stop, but he gently pulled away. 

"Looks like you're doing fine now. A soon to be full vampire." I looked up at him. 

"What else do I have to do to become a full vampire?" He smiled and laid me on the bed, with him cuddling up close to me.

"Just a goodnight sleep should do the trick." I hadn't notice until then that I was tired. Cuddling up against his chest, I closed my eyes. Then opened them again. 

"I have to ask you something." He looked at me. 

"If the necklace isn't what you value the most, then what is?" He smiled and leaned down. 

"You." And he kissed me. This wasn't the kisses we shared before. Actually it was. But before it was in my dream. Now it was in reality. When he pulled away, we were both smiling like idiots. 

"I love you Logan." I muttered. 

"I love you Mariah." He replied and with that said, I cradled against him to sleep with intention that when I wake up, I'll be spending all of eternity with my new vampire boyfriend by my side.
