Gold and Blood

Fangs

The hours blurred together in the dank storage room. I wandered in the crowded space and found all sorta of weird things. Medieval swords, small Greek statues, contraptions made from wood and metal. All things from different periods in time and history. I guess being a vampire you would have some of this stuff. 

I was often hungry because the vampires barely came to give me food. Whenever they did I hid clutching one of the swords waiting until they left. How pathetic is that? Either way I couldn't get that vampire out of my head. His bright green eyes and the curve of his muscles beneath his clothing. Arg! I'm just being a hormonal teen having a crush on a hot guy that is a demon monster that has kidnapped and threatened me. Is this Stockholm syndrome? 

I was interrupted from my thoughts as the metal door swung open. I jumped from the cot, my hair falling into my face wildly. It was a pale and red haired woman, the clan leader behind her. He was just as handsome as before expect he wore an immaculate suit. The woman held a black lacy dress in one arm and a red box in the other. " I trust you will get her ready in time." He said in a deep voice. " Of course Kai, she will presentable for tonight." He nodded once to the short human then left, closing the door. 

I looked at the woman, " What are you going to do with me? What's happening tonight? Are you going to kill me?" The words came out before I could actually stop them. She laughed as if my questions were stupid. " I'm just here to get you ready."

" Ready for what?" " You ask to many questions, now get out of those drab clothes and put on this dress or I will have to do it for you ." She threw the lacy mess of silk at me. She knelt down and opened her red box which was full of makeup and hair clips instead of torture tools.

" Could you at least tell me what's going on?" I started to pull my sweatpants down. She glanced at me with a critical eye. " You're going to be initiated into our clan." I pulled my t-shirt over my head turning around. " What does that mean?" I slipped into the form fitting dress. I smiled as the cool fabric clung to my skin. " It means you are becoming a vampire." She said smoothly then looked at me. Her green eyes took me in, " Now to fix that." She gestured to my face.

I just stood there dumbfounded. Vampire. Me? Tonight. " I- I, no." I stuttered. " I can't become a vampire." " But you will." She took my arm and seated me on the cot and started to do her work. My mind was whirling. I cannot let this happen, I will not let it happen. 

I barely noticed when she stepped away and held a mirror to show me myself. I looked fabulous but I all I saw was doomed girl. I felt a tear slip past my eye. She tsk'd, " You will be fine I promise." She wiped the tear away carefully.

I nodded and stood she linked her cold arm in mine and pushed the door open. My hair was pulled into a high pony tail to show off my neck and my back which the dress showed off. 

She led me through dim hallways furnished with black and gold. We passed by other vampires, all of them staring at me with interested and amused looks. It felt as if I were being marched into the gallows. We finally came to a a pair of red,french doors. She un hooked her arm from mine and pushed the door open. My heart leapt in my throat, in was empty except for loose chains molded into the floor in the middle of the room. Then Kai holding a gilded goblet of God knows what. " You may leave now Pearl." The woman nodded and closed the doors. 

I was left alone with Kai. My back was straight and it was silent. " Come here." I stood there shaking. " I will drag you if I must." I slowly stepped forward, I felt tears sting my eyes but I kept them back. He tilted his head at me then blurred. I suddenly felt the weight of the chain on wrists. " Why don't you just kill me already!" I yelled. All this not telling me anything was finally getting to me. He smirked and bowed, " As you wish." 

I backed up as we walked forward. He lifted the goblet to my mouth and pressed it to my lips. I gagged and  shut my mouth but he shoved the goblet parting my lips ever so slightly . I felt the blood dribble down my chin. I would not, will not drink blood. He pressed the goblet even harder against my mouth and I resisted. His eyes flashed red. " Drink it." I moved as far away from him as my chains would allow. " I swear to God I will not!" He blurred again, this time his hand around my waist and his lips closing into mine. Kai's lips were so warm then I tasted coppery blood. I began to panic pounding his chest but he stayed without a flinch.

How dare he! My lungs started to burn and there was nothing I could do but swallow. So I didn't swallow, I began to pass out before he tilted my head back. A drop of blood slipped down my throat and that was enough. . . My eyes snapped open as a burning sensation started up my body. Kai's lips left mine, his perfect face a picture of satisfaction and pity. The burning was growing up from my toes to my head then multiplied. It felt like I was burning from the inside out. I arched my back and screamed. I crumpled down, Kai's arm still there around me. The pain was unbearable, It kept growing and growing until all I could do was scream.

"Please! Make it Stop!," my voice echoed from the walls. My mouth began to ache and then there was a sudden black hole in my stomach. He set my withering body on the ground and left the room. I just laid there shaking, my lipstick smeared wildly around my chin. It felt like hours before the door open again. There was a wonderful and succulent scent and my body became it's own. I leapt toward the smell with newfound energy, the pain forgotten, and my arms found their way around a man. He cursed and struggled to back away but he had his own set of chains keeping him there.

I was stuck in a dark place in mind. I could see everything but I couldn't control myself. I felt my mouth open and plunge foreign teeth into the man's neck. It was so sweet. . . Wait, no this isn't right. " Curse you," he whispered into my ear before falling limp in my arms. I retracted my mouth and let him drop, panting in pleasure of a full stomach and a strange new feeling. Everything seemed enhanced and in full detail as if I'd been seeing the world through broken glasses this whole time. I turned to look up and then I saw her. Her hair was a ash brown with gold tints. Her lace dress was stained red on the front but her face. . 

It was a deadly and beautiful looking thing. Her eyes were wide with tints of red and honey. She then frowned and began to shake. " This isn't me," I whispered. " That isn't me," my voice rose with a cry. I dropped to my knees and cried. I at last noticed the man and his dead eyes glaring at me.

My shoulders shook with my sobs. Blood falling down my cheeks as tears. I didn't want this. If only I died in that alley.
