Innocence

Chapter Eight

"What?!? That is absurd! I will not allow this!" Damon yelled. He ran at me and grabbed me, jerking me out of Ethan's reach. "If I can't have her, no one will!"

"Ethan!" I screamed, as Damon pulled my neck back and sunk his teeth into my neck.

Ethan's POV

I gasped as Damon ran forward and jerked Mikeala out of my reach.

"No!" I yelled as Damon pulled her neck back and bite into her neck. I dashed to him and grabbed his shirt, ripping him off of her and throwing him into the wall.

"Ethan! No!" father yelled at me, as I ripped Damon's head off.

Mikeala's POV

I shrieked as pain shot through my body. Fire spread from my neck through my body. I writhed in pain, willing it all to stop.

"Ethan! Make it stop! Fire! Make it stop!" I screamed. My back arched and the room turned bright red. I felt hands on my shoulders and lashed out wildly.

"Mikeala! It's me! It's ok, I'm here." Ethan's voice said beside me. I shrieked again as the pain intensified.

"Make it stop!" I screamed, slowly losing consciousness.

"I promise, I will." I heard as everything turned pitch black.

Even in my unconsciousness, the fire was unbearable. It receded slowly but not fast enough. I thrashed around nonstop, screaming. I was buried in the fire, dead to the world. Suddenly, all the fire receded to my fingertips, finally disappearing completely. The fire was replaced with a cool feeling. I opened my eyes to Ethan's face hovering mine.

"Mikeala?" he asked.

"Is it over?" I whispered. My throat burned madly and I liked my lips.

"Yes, it's over. Are you thirsty?" I nodded my head.

"Here, drink this." Ethan handed me a cold cup of a red liquid. I took a sip and gulped the rest.

"I want more." I said, the fire in my throat not yet quenched.

"No, this is all you can have for now. You human body has to get used to the blood."

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Mikeala, your a vampire." Ethan said. I gasped.
