Between the Vampire and the Deep Blue Sea

Blood Lust

Their was an arrangement of furniture in the hidden room behind the curtain. The thrumming of the club's music changed into an upbeat techno.

Taking a seat she was now sitting across from Solomon - the human male was to the right of him.

I looked to my right and I could see the human female that had been procured and glamoured in preparation for this act of sin. She looked to be in her late twenties. I had to remind myself why I was going through with this. Eric and Bill. Godric....

Those three words alone had left me grounded; anchoring myself from my inner psychopath as a vampire to sane human whom I was before.

"Now once you take the first bite remember the feeling of their heartbeat beating when it's fast and it turns to a dull and slow rhythm only and only then you stop or else you'll kill the human."

I didn't want to do any of this but my head wasn't listening to my hammered thoughts, "how do I know--" I could feel his ice-like finger touch my lips - his eyes domineering and heated and I immediately swatted his hand away like a fly.

The edges of his lips curl into a smirk, "I promise as your maker that I won't let you get to far ahead of yourself. " it wasn't much I knew.

He was my maker even if I regret what I am and hate who he is I had to at least find some common ground with this vampire. I was stuck, literally, with forever with him. And forever was a very long time.

I nod my head. Focusing my sight on the thrumming pulse and the alluring scent of the human before me hearing a click along with the prodding and slicing feeling as my fangs protrude out from my gums.

I can hear the rapid breaths she was making everything pulled me in and I couldn't fight the gnawing hunger for blood. It was with pure instinct that my fangs meet the flesh of the human and dig deep into the corroded. I couldn't stop.

The sticky red substance clung to the back of my throat and there was only one thought that ran through my mind - the thought of more blood was intoxicating... I could feel the human's hands running along my body and I quickly lifted her hands up in the air constricting any further movement.  My body leaned into hers - my ears picked up the human's moans of pleasure. Wanting to elicit more I dig my fangs deeper drawing more blood hearing the rhythm of her heart pick up.

My eyes were open and I glanced at Solomon to see him just staring directly at me. I close my eyes and get lost in the blood. It was a drug that hazed my thoughts and just left me feeling free for the first time in my life.

Thump.........Thump................Thump..............

"Stop or you will kill her. When you hear the beating of their heart slowing that is the time you stop. " Solomon pulled me away from the women's neck and instantly pull him down on the floor flashing my fangs at him.

"Oh my dear such fun we will have. " the next second Solomon had me underneath him. "Put your fangs away, now. " it was a command and I feel my fangs sliding back into place within my mouth it was a strange sensation. My gaze never left his. He had kept his promise he stopped me before I could take a life.

"Why did you stop me?" Was what came out of her mouth. Solomon brushed a lock of blonde hair to the side of my face, "because as I told you before, I'm not heartless. You did amazingly well considering you just turned. So how did you like drinking from the vein? Not as horrible as your previous notions? "

I hated him more if that was even possible? "It was bearable. But I still insist on the true blood. "

"Oh you will be eating your words once you taste that metallic shit they call blood. " Solomon stands and offers a hand to me and I stand up in my own.

"Come. We only have a couple hours till dawn. We will need to get back to my place where it's light tight. "

Following him out of the club - ignoring the stares I finally take notice that I couldn't hear a thing. My "curse" which I had dubbed my telepathy was gone. I couldn't think of which to be grateful for. For being dead or for being free of the thing that made me crazy? For now I wouldn't tell Solomon.

For all he knew I was a telepath and that fact alone was probably why he saved me. If I told him I didn't have my telepathy would that mean he would go back on his word and end my life? But was it all that bad? I would rather die. But for the sake of the vampires that had brought me into this life filled with the supernatural I owed it to them to live and to find some kind of freedom from it.

"Come Sookie. "

"I'm going the fast I can!" I retort back and the next thing I know I'm getting whisked off my feet and I'm in his hold as he carries me - which I protest at every second - back to his place.

As I start to see the sun rise. A race against the sun as my eyes plead for the life that was taken as a ray of sun brushes against my skin and I cry out in pain.
