House of Night. Final Night (Book 4)

Chapters 1-5

Chapter 1.

It had only taken Avery a few days to heal from the events that had took place the night she discovered Ryu and Zace were still alive in a way that made them like real life Dracula vampires, Both of them the first full male red vampyres of this House of Night.

Though during the few days of being back they were constantly being gawked at and eyed by some of the younger fledglings who had now grown an even stronger attraction to the male vampyres, it didn't bother the two much because they both had other things to focus on during the day.

Zace had just gotten his position back as the fencing teacher and leader of the Sons of Erebus warriors and Ryu had been focusing on easing himself into the red vampyre lifestyles which included staying out of the sun and getting a good helping of blood throughout the day while training himself to be a better fighter to protect his love, Avery.

As Avery slept in her dorm room, she had made sure to pull the curtains shut during the day so Ryu could join her while she slept and not be turned into a green haired marshmallow. With a small mumble and jerk followed by a gasp of air to show she was now awake, Ryu glanced down at the small girl who slept on his chest, keeping one arm around her with his hand rested on her butt and his other hand propped behind his head since the bed wasn't that big for two people and his arms had gotten much bigger than they used to be, he had to give most of the room to Avery, she was a huge bed hog and used him for a pillow, he didn't mind much though.

"Hey sleepy head. You drooled on my chest." He chuckled and felt her fist weakly punch his chest. "Ow that hurt. I'm dying now. You punched my lung into pieces."
He said teasingly and heard her growl then punch his chest again which only made him chuckle more as she spoke up. "Don't tease me about my punching or I'll punch somewhere more sensitive you butt." Her head lifted until she was able to rest her chin against his bare chest. "I am sleepy so my punches aren't that strong right now, just wait until I get some food in me."

Ryu just grinned his normal cocky grin and spoke. "If you punch me there then how am I suppose to have sex with you? You'll die without me ya know?" He smirked as Avery grumbled then began to pout. "Trust me babe, even with food you couldn't kick my butt." He spoke as he lifted from the bed and rolled her small body under his much larger body. "But I sure can do things to your butt." His smirk only grew as he watched her cute face turn bright red. "S-Shut up...you can't do stuff without me letting you ya butthead." She wiggled her nose at him and then felt her wrist being gripped by him only to be laid above her head. "You wanna bet little lady?" Before she got a chance to make a smartass comment back, he leaned down and kissed her lips deeply, the kissing only becoming more intense as he felt her body relax against his.

Chapter 2.

It had seemed like forever since they had been laying there in a kiss, a kiss that both of them thought they'd never get again that Avery parted her lips from his and smiled hugely while looking up at him. "You're becoming better with controlling your blood lust babe." That made Ryu's gaze become a bit saddened as he sat up and moved until he was sitting at the edge of the bed, running his finger back through his messy green hair while his mind ran crazy with the night he was so blood crazed that he almost killed Avery. The only thing that brought him out of it was the warm feeling of her laying against his back and her arms wrapping around him from behind.
"Hey...I didn't mean to bring that up. I just thought I'd just..." She trailed off, not wanting to upset him more. He smiled and rubbed his hand over her arm then patted her hand. "Babe don't worry about it. It's our past and we're both still here, that's the important thing alright? You don't have to worry about me being upset about it anymore."
Avery just nodded and stayed laid against his back while rubbing her hand over his chest.
