Cirque du Freak: The Fae

Chatting With A Half-Vampire

"So, Darren, I don't mean to be rude but I'm curious. What's it like drinking blood?" I ask as I hover next to him.
"Well it's not like what you read in books, vampires don't go for the neck as that could kill someone, it's a small incision on the shoulder," he says.
"Oh, well now I know that, what about taste? If any of my questions get too weird or personal you don't have to answer," I say as we wander through the woods.
"Well I've only ever tasted Rebecca's," he says, rubbing his neck.
"Oh, so you only drink from her? I guess that makes sense since you two are a couple, but if you ever get curious of how another person's blood tastes then you could ask me. I don't mind at all, mine might taste really different because it's a pale blue, I don't know why but it is," I say and turn then fly backwards, giggling.
"Blue? That's really strange, I'm not sure if I believe you," he says.
I gesture to my shoulder, "See for yourself, you're free to take a sip since I'll bleed anyway," I say, "unless you want to prick my finger instead."
He gently grabs my arm, "Are you sure it's alright?" he asks just to confirm.
I nod with a smile then fly a little lower so my shoulder is level with his mouth. He pricks my shoulder with his nail and my pastel blue blood bubbles to the surface.
"Wow, you really weren't kidding," he says before putting his mouth to my new wound and drinking a bit of my blood. He licks the wound when he's done so it heals instantly, "It's...really sweet like cotton candy."
I rub my shoulder a bit, "That was a strange sensation but at least now we know more about me that even I didn't know."
We both flit back to camp, he's faster of course, when we get back I clean Wolfman's cage and talk to him, smiling as I do, happy that I can fly so my bare feet don't have to touch the nasty floor. I tell him that he could eat a bit neater or at least try not to make a mess. I fly around and help everyone with chores when I'm done with the cage, I even help Evra with a song by playing my bass. Bippo slithers up my leg as I play but I do nothing about it as I play with Evra and Darren, soon I have to stop though as she gets a bit too close to my wings.
