Forbidden love, ruled by all #wattys2017

A childs wants

Jake placed a cool hand on Reagan's neck to stop the bleeding before grabbing a ragged cloth, his hands stained with her innocent blood. " shhh", he soothed as he held the cloth firmly to her neck, " just stay here okay?", he whispered to her, Reagan's small form shaking as she tried to keep her breaths steady and still. Reagan didn't say a word and that's what worried jake the most.
"Reagan!", jake snapped to get her attention.

Reagan jumped at his tone. Looking up at him her bottom lip quivered as she cried helplessly. " did you hear what I said?", he said softly as he knelt down to her eye level. Reagan hesitated, but nodded. "Y-yes jake", she stuttered, her eyes red and puffy from crying. A sigh passed jakes lips as he kept his head down, his eyes resting shut as he tried to compose himself. His bloodlust tapping on his mental walls; wanting jake to unleash his inner vampire and eat her with one big bite. Like a little kid with an ice cream.

"Jake...? My neck hurts...", Reagan complained, snapping jake out of his thoughts. Looking up at her he honestly didn't know what to do, all he knew was if he let her wound bleed more Anna might loose the plot. Or worse, other vampires would come and with the situation with the city that wasn't a good idea. Looking up at Reagan he could see the pain in her eyes and that's when he made a decision. If he did this no vampire could touch her, no vampire could come near her. She'd be safe, but trapped. She would be his and only his. He honestly didn't like her position, but over the time they spent, he felt a strange ping towards her. A ping he couldn't explain.

"Reagan look at me, okay?", jake placed his hands on either side of her cheeks. " your going to be okay", jake continued with a soft tone, his eyes a faded red as he spoke and his words lined with a smooth calm tone.

" I'm scared...", Reagan replied, tears continuing to fall and her heart beat the speed of a humming bird. Her brown curls falling In front of her eyes, but jake just brushed them away softly as he tried to calm her down. " don't be; every thing is going to be fine, I just need you to close your eyes and do what I tell you", jake whispered as he pulled his hands away gently. Reagan nodded, understanding his order she closed her delicate eyes. " count as high as you can, as slow as you can", jake said as he placed his wrist into his mouth. Biting down hard, blood dropped down his pale arm and dropped onto the floor with soft drips.

Reagan held her hands in front of herself, her hands trembling, but she started to count. Her neck throbbing with pain, but that soon became a dull ache as jake placed his wrist in her mouth. Opening her eyes she tried to pull away, " Reagan drink", jake said sternly, but that only made her whimper in plea. " Reagan", jake said more demanding. Gripping his wrist hard she drank small drops of his blood, her knuckles going white as she gripped his arm as hard as she could.

After a few minutes passed jake pulled her hand away, Reagan's lips stained a blood red and her eyes swelled with tears. " w-why did you do that?", she asked after a few long moments of silence, the wound on her neck healed and only a small scar remaining. " to protect you. To protect all of us Reagan", jake answered, his eyes fading back to their dark brown. Reagan looked away, her hand reaching up to her newly healed neck. " am I going to turn into a vampire now?", she asked him innocently. Jake shook his head in response, " no, of course not; you know it doesn't work like that. This just means, we're bonded. Think of me as your older brother Reagan", Jake answered with a smile.

Reagan gazed up at him, brother, the words echoed through her mind. " brother...", she smiled faintly as she looked up at him.

Six years later.

As Reagan grew I to a beautiful woman, Anna and jake stood by her side to help her, and care for her. She got taught how to hunt and do things that not every woman got taught to do. Her memories from six years ago faded to a distant dream. Reagan was used to hiding in the shadows with her new founded family, to her Anna and jake were her siblings.
