A Night To Remember

Chapter 19

I was awoken by my thirstiness. My room is dark as if I am wrapped inside a box, no light. I know it's weird but I like it, peaceful. I stayed in this position for while, laying on the bed and just watching the darkness but minutes passed my thirstiness  came back. I need to go to the kitchen to look for something to drink. I sat up from my bed and wipe the sleeps in my eyes. I'm exhausted and felt so weak. I wonder what time is it though? I stood from my bed and was about to open the door when I saw someone in my peripheral vision sits on the chair at the corner of the room. At first I panicked but it was soon erased when I noticed who the person is. Zire! I breathe his name. I can't face him now, I really need to go to the kitchen. I'm  so god darn thirsty. I turn my back at him and pretended that I didn't see him at all, before he can stop me I quickly open the door and ran to the kitchen fast.
I smiled to myself as I saw the kitchen.  I hurriedly get a glass of water and drink it immediately. One, two, three, four glasses of water I've already drank but I am still feeling thirsty and weak. I suddenly felt light headed. I grabbed the chair and sat on it. My eyes snapped open as I saw Zire standing in front of me. His scent drives me crazy. My eyes moves from his body to his face and landed into his neck. I wonder how his blood taste like. I gripped the table trying to stop myself from jumping into him. He take steps closer to me.

"Damn Zire! You're not helping at all" I said to him. He didn't stop walking and now he is standing so close to me. I can now smell his delicious scent.

"Bite me!" I was shocked and can't believe want he is saying. He turn his head sideways so that I can have access into his neck. I hold into the chair hardly stopping my self from sinking my fangs into his neck.
I can't drink his blood.

"I can't Zire, I won't" I said, my throat aches with dryness.

"You need to Flame, DRINK. NOW!" He said, emphasizing the last two words.

As much as I want to decline his offer but my thirstiness is already making me drowsy and weak, I needed blood and the only way that I can have it is by biting him in which what I am about to do now.

I moved my mouth closer and slowly sunk my fangs into his soft flesh. I moaned once I've tasted his blood. I sunk my fangs deeper into his skin and suck more of his blood. I know I am going to regret this but for now I needed him, I needed his blood. Minutes passed, when my thirstiness is gone I stopped and licked my lips.

"Are you okay now?" He asked.
I can't looked at him in the eyes. I felt guilty. My eyes remained on his bloody neck. 

"S-sorry Zire..... I am so sorry" A tear escaped from eyes.

"Sshhh... it's not your fault Flame.. no one's fault..." He wiped my tears then hugged me. I hugged him back.

"Have a rest Flame... We'll talk tomorrow" I only noticed that we are already in the room when I saw the bed. He lead me down and kissed my forehead. He moves faster than I thought. I close my eyes and didn't bother in opening as I heard the sound of the door being shut.

ZIRE

I came back to my room feeling so tired. I don't want to live her yet but I need to drink blood as well. If I'm going to stay there longer I'm sure I won't be able to control myself. I washed my neck and change into a clean shirt. I grabbed the keys and drove to the nearest bar. I went inside it and sits on the stool. I signaled the bartender for a drink. While waiting for my drink I roamed my eyes and started to look for a victim. I spotted a girl on the corner. When I noticed that she's alone I stalked towards her and introduced myself. She told me her name but I didn't pay attention to it. I need to do this quick. I hold her chin for her to look me in the eyes. I started to hypnotized her. It didn't take long, humans are just so weak. I brought her to a dark place. I didn't waste any time. I sank my fangs into her neck and suck her blood. Once I am satisfied, I leave  her limp body on the floor then went to my car and drove home. My mind now is with the girl sleeping in my house. It's hard to admit but she makes me weak and strong at the same time. She made me feel happy and contented. It's  almost 3:00 o'clock in the morning when I reached home. I went directly to Flame's room to check her. I felt relief as I saw her so peaceful in her sleep. Tomorrow, I will help her in finding her friend.

FLAME

I woke up early. I've finished  doing all my morning routines. I am sitting comfortably on my bed reading a magazine when suddenly I heard a loud knock on my door. I groan in irritation.

"I'm coming... just don't knock again" I shouted. I think this man got a hand that is hard as stone. I opened the door but once I saw who is knocking I immediately closed it. I lean on the wall trying to find support. Damn! What should I do! I can't face him now.. I don't know what to say or what to do! I said to myself, panicking. After some seconds of talking to myself I've decided to open the door now. There's no point of hiding here.
 
"I can do this" I whispered. I was about to hold the doorknob but to my surprised the door opened widely.  There he is, standing in front of me, so handsome as ever.  My gaze turn to his neck. It's not bleeding anymore but the wound is still clear. I suddenly remembered how good his blood in my mouth. I shook my head mentally. This not going to help.I snapped my attention back to him. Our gazes lock to each other for what it seems to be a minute.

"How are you" He whispered.
