The Immortal Cure - Series Three

Chapter Twenty Seven - Bond

At first, I was apprehensive about it, but when we walked into the blood room, when the smell hit me with empowering force that I realised how much I needed to divulge.
As soon as the smell travelled up my nose, through my pores, my hunger returned.

I felt myself growl, eager, hungry.

"Any preferences?" Seth asked as he stood beside me, the lid of the freezer open as I stared down at the bags of thick dark liquid

"Anything" I mumbled, licking my lips

"Try this one" Seth spoke pulling a bag out, unscrewing the cap off of it, handing it to me.

Once the cap was off, I snatched the bag from him and downed it like a wild animal.
I knew that I looked like a monster, but I couldn't think of anything else other than the taste entering my mouth, trailing down my throat.

"This is a bad idea" I heard Duke mumble under his breath in the doorway as he watched me

The blood emptied within seconds, running through me as I tipped my head back, sucking in every last drop. I shivered as it absorbed into my veins. I gave a deep sigh and looked back to Seth who seemed pleased.

"How am I supposed to control this?" I asked, feeling myself loosing control.

How was I supposed to be around humans when I didn't even trust myself around Callum? It didn't take me long to grow an unbelievable appreciation and admiration for Duke and the others for having controlled themselves so thoroughly while being around me whilst I was human.

"It takes time" Seth told me

"I don't have time" I rushed out "I thought I was supposed to have more control over this because I'm a Cure?" I looked in between Seth and the blood stock

"There's no telling how people react when they turn Rosalie, you're just going to have to listen to us, do as we say until you learn to control it" Seth told me

"I can barely listen to what you are saying right now Seth" I pointed towards the full freezer

"What was the point of you doing this then Rosalie?" Seth asked slamming the freezer shut as he leaned on it

"The point of what?" I sighed, leaning my hand on the freezer as my nails dug into the metal

"You attacking Duke, turning yourself" Seth continued, eyeing me up and down "Why did you do it?"

I shrugged "Our plan fell apart, I was weak, I couldn't protect myself let alone the people I care about.. " I began, gripping the freezer tighter as Seth glanced at my hand

"We could have taken care of it" Seth tried, glancing at my tightening hand again

"No!" I shouted "I'm sick of people having to take care of me, I am so sick of having to be the one that constantly needs protecting , I want to be the one that saves myself and everyone I care about. I refuse to be vulnerable again Seth" I shouted, my hand crushing through the top of the freezer, straight through the metal. Succumbing, I flipped the freezer lid up again and snatched out another bag of blood before storming from the room, pushing straight past Duke as he stood in the doorway.

I was turning into a monster.

"This isn't the Rosie I fell in love with" I heard Duke speak from behind me as I stood in the front yard, a bag of blood in my hand, tearing the cap off, tossing it aside.
I let the smell dance on the tip of my nose, relishing in the sweet scent. It was a woman's blood, probably in her late twenties. I could even tell what perfume she wore - Elizabeth Arden.

"I have had enough of being weak" I sighed as he walked towards me, standing next to me

"You were never weak Rosie" He mumbled
