Children of evil

Another her.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked. She shook her head and said, "No, it's hard to live with someone who you met yesterday." She started to leave but I grabbed her hand. "Why don't you come in? You left the first aid kit in here anyway." She nodded and step inside. I sat on a stool and she undid the bandage. Blood was dripping and it got on her hand. She was about to wipe it away, but I grabbed her hand. "Lick the blood. It will help the wound heal faster. It will also help you." She clenched her teeth and licked my wrist. She shivered and continued changing the bandage. "Did it taste good?" I asked. She nodded and licked the blood from her lips. She sighed and said, "There, I need to make sure the store is maintained." She got up and left the room. Wow, she's pretty shy, isn't she?

Minutes later, I decided to see if she needs any help. I walked to the store to find her reading behind the counter. "Are you looking for something?" She asked.

"No, I wanted to see if everything is going in order." I said while looking around the shop. She looked up from her book and said, "I usually have only two to five people come in in this hour. I can handle this. It's usually people asking questions about this store." She looked down and started to read again.

"I have another question." I said. She started to count on her fingers and said, "This is your Eighteenth question. I guess we could make it to twenty."

I nodded and said, "I wanted to know if you wanted to sleep tonight?" She gave me a look and said, "Of course I want to sleep! There's not a reason why I wouldn't want to sleep tonight." She set her book down and clutched her hair. "Honestly, why asked such a question?" She stopped and thought for a moment. I'm waiting for her to get it. She finally gasped and chuckled. "Of course, it's a disguised invitation." She let go of her hair and said, "It's about eight at night. I only need a maximum of four hours of sleep." Did she accept? She reached her hand out and said, "Well, are you going to escort me or not?" I took her hand and we walked to her room.

She looked at her bed and it was crisp. The sheets were wrinkle free and it almost seemed stark. She sighed and said, "This better be worth ruining my sheets. I just ironed them today." She put her hand behind her head and sighed again.

She pulled her hand away from mine and said, "I tend to get cold easily, so I have a heater in here." She unplugged the heater and moved it out of the way. I watched her and said, "Do you like to keep your room clean?" She shook her head and replied, "Not really, I only did this because yesterday was a slow day." She scoffed and said, "I might as well get to sleep. I need to be alert when I hear the bell, so two hours will be fine." She moved the covers and laid on her side. "You might as well get in." I laid next to her and she said, "You smell nice. It's almost tempting." I looked at her and her eyes had changed again.

I started to take off my shirt and said, "I want you to get enough to last you another month." She looked at me and said, "You really want me to do this? There's a chance I'll lose control." I nodded and said, "As an associate, it is my job to make sure you'll be okay." She chuckled and said, "Idiot, you don't know what you're getting into. Fine, I rather eat this than a total stranger." She sat up and behind me. I tilted my head and exposed my neck. She laughed and said, "Do you think I'm a vampire?" She shook her head and sneered, "I honestly think you are clueless on this subject."

I felt her teeth pierced my skin and felt pain. I winced and she chuckled. I waited for her to be finished and she licked the wound and said, "I like your blood." She let go of my shoulders and slid her fingers down my back. I shivered and she said, "I wished you never came here. I was afraid I would do anything to taste your blood. I guess this was luck you came back. I should be lucky, or more like grateful, you are here." I looked at my shoulder and it was flowing blood. She smiled and said, "You just ruined my sheets. I guess that is my punishment for not cleaning up my mess." She clutches on to my shoulders again and licked the blood. I was starting to feel tired. She wrapped her arms around me and asked, "You will be here for me, right?" I nodded and she grinned. She's like a different person when it comes to blood.

She kissed my cheek and said, "Thanks for the meal. I'll be fine for a while now. I need to bandage that up though." She started to get up but she looked at my shoulder. "What the hell?" She yelled. I suddenly felt better and I sat up. Her eyes where wide and she pointed at my shoulder while trembling. I looked at my shoulder it was healed. I gasped and she asked, "You can heal yourself?" I shrugged my shoulders and replied, "I have no idea. I didn't know it can heal. "She thought a bit and said, "I guess it was something you do if you are in danger. Your body responded when you were losing blood. I see, that's why you hand healed pretty quickly also. I didn't want to acknowledge it since it was only a minor wound. You did lose a good amount of blood right there. I never heard of a demon that heals. I guess that narrows down the list I had." She chuckled and said, "I guess I have a few hours to sleep." She shivered and clutched her arms. "I should have kept that heater plugged in." She wrapped herself with blankets and curled up. I wrapped my arm around her and said, "Now we know I can heal quickly, you don't have an excuse to restrain yourself." She gave me a look and replied, "I rather not to be closer to lose my sanity when it comes to blood. I'll be fine for a while." I kissed her nose and she closed her eyes.

Minutes later, I heard soft breathing and it was her. I was glad she's sleeping since I noticed the bags under her eyes. I guess I should sleep also, we both need to be rested up for finding out who my father is. I closed my eyes as well.
