Dream Of A Vampire

Chapter Eight

I awoke some time later to find that I was sitting on a chair in Max’s living room. I slowly opened my eyes and blinked away the bright light which was spreading itself across the room. I groaned and felt a constant pain in the back of my head. I sat up and looked across the room to see Max talking to his parents by the door to the hallway. I coughed to signal that I was awake and they all stopped talking.

“Hey, how are you?”Max said softly

“Yeah, umm surprisingly okay to b...” I was cut off by a sudden pain which felt like it grabbed my entire stomach and squeezed it as hard as it could. “Owww!”I screamed in pain as another wave hit.

“You alright? What happening?” Max said in a rush determined to find out what’s wrong with me

“My stomach. It’s killing me!” I stuttered between each breath. I looked up at Max’s parents and they knew exactly what was going on. “What is it?” I directed at them.

“You’re going into hunger early...” they trailed off

“Mum, dad? How can it be possible? It’s only been 3 weeks and this shouldn’t happen for another month or so! She’s going to change any minute and when she does, she will have a nasty bite.”Max said

“I know son and we know what you told her, you have to let her! We will be waiting outside in the hallway just outside the door. Only a few minutes she is aloud or otherwise she is going to take all you human blood and start replacing it.” I heard them explain to Max in between gushes of pain.

“JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!” I shouted over the horrendous noise which was in my head. I looked up after curling into a ball from the pain and saw their surprised faces staring back at me. “Oh sorry if I shouted, there’s this loud noise in my head which I can’t get rid of!” I shouted a little less loudly. I don’t mean to shout, it’s just that I can’t hear myself when I’m speaking.

I grouch again after another wave of pain radiates from my stomach. I can feel the blood pouncing inside my veins like its begging for something. Something to savour itself into. I can feel myself slowly turn into the vampire beneath my human form. Like its trying to break the hard outer shell of this human form I have. I try and resist it every time a wave of pain radiate across my body knowing if I do unleash the vampire then I will want someone to delve my fangs into. My jaw hurts from my teeth adjusting themselves to suit my vampire teeth. My whole molecular DNA is changing as I try and resist it.

I reach into my mind to try and close the doors but as I close them, they snap right back open with a gush of wind forcing me backwards every time. I could tell that Max and his parents knew what would happen as I saw Max’s parents leave the living room, shutting the door as they leave. I could still hear them chattering away just behind the door but couldn’t make out what they were saying. I saw Max walk towards me taking off his hoodie so that he only has a loose top on which shows his neck. When I see his neck, my neck strains for it but try and push against the force which is trying to drive my neck towards his.

“Clarissa, this is going to be hard but I need you to stop resisting. The vampire you need to come out and feed. Do you remember what I said to you before?” He tells me

“Y…you said th...that you wou…would allow me to fe…feed on you.” I stuttered

“Yeah, so I have discussed with my parents. You need to feed on human blood and this moment in time I have human blood in me. You can take all the human blood from my system but you will need to replace that blood with your venom/blood so that I won’t die. Do you understand?” He asks

“Yeah, but how am I meant to do it?” I relax a little but still resisting the vampire

“I will guide you when we are connected but when you do sink your teeth into me you need to open you mind or we can’t connect.”He explains

“Okay, stop resisting and open my mind! Got it!” I laugh a little

“Well, I’ll speak to you soon, vampire girl!” Max’s laughs backs

Just then the little tiny thread keeping my human form from collapsing and the shell from breaking snaps and my mind has changed into a frantic hungry vampire that I cannot control myself. I calm myself down knowing if I get too worked up it could be distratous. I pan my eyes around the room and notice Max kneeling in front of me as I was still sitting on the chair.

“Hi” I smiled at him showing off my vampire fangs

“Hi?!” Max said sounding shocked

“What’s up?” I asked him in reply

“Well, you’re not going mad as I thought! You must have calmed yourself down then...” He replied

“Well, yeah! I kind of didn’t want to scare you so I’m technically looking calm but inside I can feel my neck straining and in my head it’s kind of a car crash of emotions. But you know, you have to let me bite your neck at some point or it could get quite messy soon!” I said to Max smiling

“Well, remember to open your mind so I can tell you how to release your venom inside of me to turn me full vampire!”He replied

“Yeah, good luck!” I said

With that, I broke down the barricade and let it all come flooding back to me; my eyes going bigger, my teeth hurting like crazy and my throat dry as sandpaper. I sniffed a little bit and caught scent of human blood. I snapped my head round and saw Max sitting in front of me smiling but I could sense that he was scared as well. I remembered what he had said to me,

Open your mind

I grabbed Max’s shirt and pulled him closer to me. Just as I was about to sink my teeth into his juicy neck I heard him whisper to me,

I love you
