Broken Promises (Kaname x Reader)

Chapter 17

It's been about a month since the tablet incident, and every single day has been hell.

The normal Vampires here have been on edge since I've been discovered as a pure blood, and very territorial of their little prince.

Each week I manage to survive, the next just gets so much harder. Every sip of blood becomes a new obsession. It's driving me crazy.

The butcher in town is becoming nicer each time I show up at his shop to buy meat, the first time was the hardest because I was so hungry but I somehow made it. I use the meat as bait to try and catch something else, something I can feast on. It doesn't always work though, and I can't let the animals I drink from run free, I found out the first time I bit a rabbit I barely managed to catch. I didn't want to drink it all, the poor thing was only passing by, it was after I had tamed by thirst days before...after I had sucked every animal I could find dry. I had more restraint and felt fine, but the rabbit... After I let it go, it wriggled and writhed, mulling in pained cries. Foam poured from its mouth and it was consumed by a seizure, until I put the sad thing out of its misery and broke it's neck.

I haven't left a creature alive since, and the amount of carcasses I have to hide is pilling up. 

The animal blood isn't enough to sustain me, and every week it grows more demanding for more. I usually leave it near the wolves, so they can find it and potentially get rid of the evidence. So far, they seem unaffected by consuming the meat. Most days, I can even leave a bit of blood running through it so the meal doesn't taste as poor.

I've only gotten one note since that day, I had woken up after my feast the very first time, when I was overcome by my need to drink. I had drank two whole deer and even attacked a fox that got too close, I had passed out shortly after, soaked in blood that had spilled from my messy kills.

When I woke up, I was right outside the academy gate, hidden behind some bushes and away from any peering eyes. Didn't take long to realize I was in clean clothes, very familiar clothes I used to wear when I was trapped in that psychos tower. Barely noticing the neatly folded note beside me as I withered in disgust at the idea of him touching me bare skin. When I had opened the white sheet, I vomited. All that was in it was a picture and the words "Soon, my pet" scrawled underneath. A picture of me soaked in blood from the forest after I fainted, being held up in one of his arms as his tongue trailed my neck.

He touched me, He licked me.... who knows what else he did. 

The thought caused my body to try and be sick again, but my stomach held tight to my meal from earlier and I was left dry heaving.

When i had finally pulled myself together, I was trudging along the path back to the vampire dorm. Until I had realized how bad I smelled. As though someone dropped a bucket of blood on me, and his scent still lingered.... wrinkling my nose, I changed my destination and went off to the headmaster's office this time. Thankfully finding him alone.

At first he panicked, but I had explained to him all I could, and why I couldn't sleep in the night dormitory today. I had left out the part involving Rito, feeling in the blanks the best I could on short notice... He had been grateful that I had drank animal blood instead of human, but I got lectured for leaving the grounds while I was that thirsty. The news about the blood tablets seemed to concern him the most, I had told him my plans for a substitute, and though he didn't like the idea of me constantly putting myself in danger of being caught by the "Overly obsessed vampire that's staking" me, he eventually caved... with a few rules put in place. 

That night, I took a very long shower in a spare room the headmaster lent me, scrubbing my skin till it was pink all over.

Sleep came rather difficult that night. Rito had me. He could've taken me back, but he didn't...

Why?
