Love, Life, Death...And Blood [ON HOLD! Sorry Guys DX]

Love, Life, Death....And Blood: Chapter 4

            Sitting in Chris’ car, I tried to concentrate on the music that was being produced from the radio but I couldn’t concentrate. The scent of Ally’s blood still lingers, even if she is so far away. I feel my fangs attempting to come through my lips, sending me into a rage. Her blood, it smelt of roses. I’ve smelt it before, but the memory is distant. It was so long ago. I was a young vampire then, well kinda. Being a pureblood, I was born a vampire. But I was still young. I was only fourteen, I didn’t understand the love I felt when I first laid my eyes on Alex. Later I did, I finally understood when she told me that she would marry me. I don’t even remember asking. We were going to get married after high school, but our dream was lost after I lost her.

            I felt Chris’ eyes on me. I looked up, meeting his gaze.

            “Are you ok?”

            “Yeah, I’m ok.”

            “You’re crying again Ace.”

            I reached up, wiping the tears away. “I’m fine.”

            “Well, when you’re ready, I’ll meet you inside ok?”

            I couldn’t reply so I just nodded. I heard his car door open and close and the gravel as he walked inside.  I started crying again, this is exactly why I never thought about Alex. I start to miss her again; it hurts worse than it usually does. I wipe away the tears, trying to pull myself together.

            “I’m sorry, Alex. I shoulda known better.” I looked up at the roof of the car, continuing to cry. I pulled a small bottle of blood out of my pocket. I popped the top open, tossing the blood into my throat. It wasn’t enough to quench the thirst, but it was enough to get me to stop thinking about it so bad.

 I got out of the car, walking into the lobby. Chris was sitting there, studying a book that I assumed was for a class. He looked up at me, smiling weakly.

“She’s still blacked out. They don’t know if she’ll even wake up.”

That hurt. “So basically, I will most likely lose her like I lost Alex?”

He looked down at his feet. “Yes.”

I put my hand on the back of my neck. “Can I see her?”

“I guess so.”

He rose, talking me by the arm and  leading me into the elevator.

“Are you going to be ok?”

“I hope so.”

 My fangs were sinking into my lips. Her blood was everywhere. I could smell it, almost tasting it. The sweet liquid making my throat burn. Her blood, was a cure. The only thing I need to stop struggling. Even if it’s just for the night. I’ll live one more night. It’s all I need.

*          *          *

The room was dimly lit, just enough so I could see her face. It was black and blue, with wounds that would most likely turn into scars. It tore at my heart strings. I couldn’t even get through the door. It hurt so bad to see her like this.

“Ace….”

“What?”

Chris was looking into my eyes. “She will live. I promise.”

I looked up at him. Chris is a pureblood like me. His browns eyes were filled with tears. I have never seen him cry. I didn’t think  I ever would either. But this was the exception I guess.

“I had a girl at one time.” A tear fell down his face. “Kelsey…god I miss her.”

I remember Kelsey. She was pretty, gorgeous even. She died in a car accident. She died instantly, but Chris still felt her pain. He probably was better off dead. His face and arms are spotted with scars. All the ones that Kelsey endured and more. He tried to commit suicide multiple times, just so he could be with her. But it’s hard to kill purebloods. Especially the ones as strong as Chris and I. we have both suffered so much, yet we can still deal with the pain.

I cross the room to Ally’s side. Her hands are cold, as if she was dead. The only sign of life was her chest heaving steadily. Up, down, up down. I could hear her heat beating; she lost so much blood…

I pulled a knife out of my jacket.

“ACE! WHAT THE---“

“Shut up dude.” I stabbed myself in the hand, just enough to spill a little blood. I cradled Ally’s head in my other hand. I brought my other hand to her lips. Letting her drink the very blood that flows through my veins.

“Ally…wake up soon.” I laid her back down, licking the rest of the blood off my hand and her lips.

“Can I have some?”

I looked up at Chris. His fangs were outside his lips, wanting, needing the sweet blood.

“Not now, later kay?”

He gave me a puppy eyed face, then growled at me.

“Grow up.” I said rolled my eyes.

I turn back to Ally. Pushing a piece of hair out of her face, I kiss her forehead. Leaving her to rest.
