CHAPTER 11: Questions

"Why did it hurt when Dylan, um.. you know, but it didn't hurt when you did it. In fact," I look down embarrassed as to what I was about to say, "It actually felt kinda nice...."

He smiled at he and ran his fingers through my hair, "I was waiting for you to ask that. It's pretty simple really, me and you have a connection, but not just a physical connection, as you know, we're Mates. Now, each and every Vampire has certain... venum, for lack of a better word, and that venom is specified for a person. That person, once injected, will become connected to that vampire for eternity. For some Vampires, they get humans, and their venom will turn that human into a Vampire himself, but, if its another "mythical" creature, they stay what they are. Although, if they don't have the gift of immortality, it is automatically given to them, unless they already have it. The problem with this though, is that if someone other than a Vampire's mate is injected with this venum, it will cause a horrible reaction, basically killing off living cells one by one until the body dies," he got a dark look in his eyes and he pulled me closer to him before he continued, "knowing this, thats what Dylan tried to do to you if he couldn't kill you himself right there," a shiver runs through me, but Devin didn't seem to notice as he continued, "that's why I needed to get it out of you, so that it didn't kill you..." he closed his eyes and kissed my forehead. There was a pain expression on his face, like just the thought of losing me hurt, but that didn't seem to surprise me. "And, to answer your other question, the reason that it feels good, is because it's supposed to. When a Vampire finds his mate, he or she makes a commitment to that one person and they are basically the only one that the Vampire will feed off of for the rest of their life. So, to make that more enjoyable for the other person, it has more of a sexual sensation. If that answers your question at all." he kissed my neck for emphasis and a slight shiver ran through me.

"That does answer those two questions," I say, my voice slightly shaking.

"Did you have more questions?" he asked running his fingers lovingly over the side of my face.

"Well, I had a few...."

"Go ahead, I'm hear to answer all your questions," he had a warm look in his eyes and I couldn't help but smile. He always seems to have this effect on me.

"Why would he do that anyways?" I ask in a small voice. Just thinking about it made me feel like I couldn't get enough oxygen.

"Who? Dylan?" he said. I just roll my eyes and nod. Even in a situation like this, he's silly. "He's just an idiot," and thats all he said.

"Come on, there has to be more," I prompt

He sighs, "Its a really long story."

"I've got time," I say with a smile.

"You're not going to let this go, are you?"

Shaking my head for emphasis, I say, "nope."

He just sighs and shakes his head, "alright, I did say that I would answer all you question," he paused to smile down at me, "so that's exactly what I'm going to do. Okay, so, Dylan was always a troubled kid, even before my parents died. But after they died, he went nuts. He was their pride and joy, their favorite son, and he didn't know what to do once their constant attention was taken away from him. We were young back then, and we were sent to the king, of all places, where Dylan was having the time of his life, being pampered and everything. It was sickening. But then the king started to take a liking to me, i don't exactly know why, but thats not important. The important thing is that it drove Dylan insane, he hated even the thought of being second best to me. But it really wasn't his choice, so he just kept his feelings hidden from everyone else until we were able to live by ourselves again. Once that happened, he showed me just how much he hated me, but thats another story. But he did tell me that he was going to make sure that I was never happy again. That would be the reason that he went after you," he rubbed his thumb across my cheek, "but I will never let him hurt you."
