The Dark Lords Daughter

Whoops

"I- I just wanted to look around the block, but when I touched-"

"I warded the house for your protection, I did not think you would be stupid enough to run outside without at least letting me know!" He pulled out a vial and poured some on his sleeve to dab on my hand.

I wasn't sure if it was the potion or the way he held my hand, but my heart felt like it wasn't beating at all. Then it hit me when my senses came to, I hadn't drank blood since before I woke up. The stress and anxiety must have distracted me, but nothing could drown out the way the vein in his neck pulsed, "I just really need to be alone."

I stumbled up his stairs and turned my room upside down before I realized I hadn't brought any blood. I heavily locked and charmed the door to prevent him from coming in as I sat in the corner of the room, freaking out. I could smell him coming closer and then banging on the door, yelling for me to let him in, "what on earth are you doing in there?!"

I ignored him. I couldn't let him see me in this state and honestly, I was afraid of what I might do to him if he were in sight. I hated myself for how careless I was being this entire year. First with my deception and now with not having any blood on hand.

Through the curses and threats, he was close to breaking through and I knew I had only one option. I brought my wrist to my mouth and clamped down, screaming in agony as my own blood ran down my throat. Vampire blood is poisonous to themselves and other vampires, but it was the only way I could think to stop myself from attacking Severus. Fortunately, it isn't deadly for my consumption, even though a few drops could nearly kill another vampire.

Black spots started to appear with each drop I consumed, and by the time Severus had finally broken through the door, I was already on the ground unconscious.

I awoke to an angry, but worried, Severus staring down at me. It didn't take me long to realize that I was still lying on the floor but with my head in his lap, his hand supporting my head. I was able to sit up and rub my head before Severus was hounding me, "What the hell happened?!"

This man needs to learn to give a woman a second to process her existence after waking up, "I told you that I needed to be alone."

"Why?"

I thought he might just kill himself if he finds out another small detail about me, so I remained silent, "I will get my answers from you." I looked at the vial in his hand; veritaserum.

I took a deep breath and quietly answered, "I need blood..."

"Great with details, are you?" He sneered.

"I was cursed, I'm a half blood vampire..." He stared at me with disbelief, but continued to stare as if he wanted me to go on, "I need blood every couple days to control myself. With all this shit going on, I must've been distracted and when you were that close... I almost killed you, Professor! Because of my own stupidity, I would have attacked you!" My voice cracked.

"Miss Night-"

"I am so sorry that I put you in danger because of my carelessness!" Tears were streaming uncontrollably. The thought of me killing him in such an awful way made my stomach turn and it was hard to control my emotions when thinking about how close I was to losing him.

"Romina!" He finally caught my attention and slowly walked toward me. His hands fell on my shoulders, making me flinch, but also calm down, "I brought you here to help you, but I can not do that if you keep hiding things from me. This whole situation could have been avoided had you informed me from the beginning. From now on, I will not tolerate being left in the dark." He waited for me to nod before continuing, "I'll make a few trips to the local hospital and grab as much as I can, but for now..." I noticed him raise his arm to level with my chest.

The sound of his pulse made my neck twitch, but I shoved it away, "n-no! Don't be insane! I mean, I appreciate you going to this extent to help me, but wouldn't that create a bond between us?"

"Imprinting involves a romantic connection, which we do not have. Besides, I do not believe it would work since you are part human." He stated.

"Thank you, Professor, for your bluntly kind words, but I... I'm fine, I promise." I smiled and sat on the bed, "the poison in my blood will numb my senses until at least tomorrow, and I am quite tired, anyway."

"Get some rest, then." He drawled before exiting my room.
