Forevermore

Blood Lust (Reagan)

R E A G A N

          The first thing that changed were his eyes. I watched as his pupil slowly expanded so that there was only a small hint of a line where there was light blue. But even that changed. It slowly evaporated into a bright red, the color of fresh blood. There was a hunger in Kane's eyes that scared me, and I scolded myself for being so stupid as to but myself for him. I had only intended a small cut, but Kane had bumped into me, making the small blade of glass slide through my arm like it was butter. Kane grabbed my arm and kissed it ever so lightly. I moaned, but tried gently to push myself off of him. I didn't want to get hurt. Bleeding was a new thing to me, and I was doing it a lot lately. Kane made a low growling in his throat and he looked up at me. There was a hint of blood on his lips. I didn't recognize him anymore. He looked... animal. He leaned in near me and I his free hand roughly pulled my waist closer to him. "I don't want to hurt you Reagan." He whimpered pathetically. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. I wanted him to do what he had to do. This was yet another experiment to find out who, and what, we truly were.

          "Its' okay." I whispered. Kane stiffened suddenly and pressed me against him. Before I knew what was happening, Kane was pressing his lips against mine. Hard. What was he doing? He was supposed to be drinking my blood, not making out with me. Not like I was complaining anyway. I leaned into him and he kissed my more deeply. He tugged at my bottom lip and that's when I felt them. Fangs. I didn't know how they had gotten there, but they were definitely real. I made a small whimpering sound and Kane pushed back. I let out a sigh and then another impulse of panic shot through me as he leaned in again. His eyes were a fiery red and looked more human than animal. "Kane-" I started, but was cut off. He had leaned down and licked my neck. I realized what he was doing and pushed him roughly. That just made him more determined.

          A sharp pain shot through my neck, like needles digging into my skin. Kane had bit me. I felt blood pouring out my neck and heard him slurp it up. He pressed me even closer to him and moaned. I whimpered, surprised at how much this hurt. I thought Kane would lick up the blood on my arm, not bite into my neck! Speaking of my arm... I picked up a clump of snow, careful not to interrupt Kane. How much blood did a person need to lose to pass out or even die? Hmm... I couldn't think about that now. I was definitely going to die of blood loss if I didn't clean up my arm. I pressed the clump of snow onto my arm and winced. Kane stiffened and stopped licking my blood. I smoothed his hair and forced a smile. "It's okay... I'm just cleaning up my arm. You can keep going." I whispered to him. With not a moment's hesitation, he sank his teeth back into my neck. I winced and wiped my arm with the soft clump of snow.

          It was cold, but it made my arm numb, which was good. Once I had cleaned my arm up until there was no trace of blood left, I looked at. Jeez, I had really cut it bad. There were two huge gashes and I was relieved that I hadn't cut a vein. I would be dead by now if that had happened. Kane suddenly relaxed and leaned back. Blood was dripping from his mouth and was covering the whole front side of his body. My blood. I reached out to touch him and he swiftly grabbed my hand. He licked up a small patch of blood on my finger and then let go of my hand. His long black hair fell in front of his face and I looked at him. "Kane?" I asked hesitantly. He looked up. His eyes were back to normal, but they looked horribly depressed. He met my gaze and shuddered.

          " That was amazing..." He said, a wild look in his eyes. He looked like he had just got a shot of pure adrenaline. He shook his head and looked into the trees. "I'm an animal." He said hoarsely. I shook my head.

          "No. No you're not, you just wanted to... experiment." I said. He looked away and spat bloody spit into the snow.

          "That's sick." He said icily. I glared at the ground and touched Kane's leg. He flinched away from me.
