Ch.23 The urge

After getting the blood for the bar, Peyton made her way back to her dorm where she poured the animal bloods into empty water bottles.

"Why are you pouring the bloods into empty water bottles?" Jimmy asked

"For easy travel" she replied.

But as she continued to pour the blood, she noticed that Vincent was staring at the blood as he licked his lips. Not wanting for him to starve, Peyton stopped pouring the blood and handed him the bag with the rest of the blood.

"Thanks" he smiled as he took the bag.

"You may be fighting tonight" she hinted "So you should get your energy up."

He nodded in agreement as he began to drink the blood that satisfied his hunger.

"So how are we gonna do this?" Molly asked.

"Yeah where's the vampire... hideout?" Peyton questioned "Or is it lair?"

"It's a secret spot in this town" Vincent answered as he wiped the blood off his lips "I'll show you guys when it's time."

As he continued to drink the animal blood, a thought suddenly came to Peyton.

"Hey Vincent-" she said "What are you gonna do if we can't get the vampire cure?"

"Well-" he replied in a sigh "I'll either look for another cure, or if there isn't any, then I guess I'll just have to deal with my life being a blood sucker, like I always do."

Even though he wasn't showing it, Peyton could see the sadness in his eyes as he went back to drinking the blood.

"Hey Vincent-" Molly suddenly spoke "I gotta ask, what does blood taste like to vampires? Cause to us it tastes like metal, but what does it taste like to you guys?"

"Well-" he put the blood down "It's kind of hard to describe the taste, well you know that all blood tastes different to us. So if I had to describe in the best way possible, I would say animal blood tastes like Thanksgiving dinner all put into one."

"Wow" Peyton commented amused "It's that good? Maybe I wanna have a taste of that."

Of course she didn't mean it, that meant she would have to turn into a vampire in order to have a taste of blood.

"What about human blood?" Molly put in "I know you haven't tasted it, but what do vampires who do drink it taste like?"

"Um-" he started to think "I think I heard one of them say that it tastes sweeter then animal blood, I don't know how sweet but that's what I heard."

He then went back to finishing the rest of the blood until the bag was empty as he gave a loud burp.

"Whoa" his eyes widen as the girls giggled "That was loud."

Peyton gave another giggle as she closed the bottles and placed them into a cooler bag.

"So are we gonna do your death makeup or what?" Molly questioned.

"Yeah let's do it" Peyton agreed "You got the liquid latex?"

"Yep."

"Great. Vincent, we're gonna need your help for this."

"What do you want me to do?" he asked.

"In order to make it look realistic, we need you to... well, slightly put your fangs on my neck so Molly can mark where to put the fake bite wounds."

His eyes widen again "Say what now?"

"It's not like you're gonna be biting me, we just need to see where your fangs are to put the bite marks."

He just sat there, surprised and not know what to say.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" he questioned nervously.

"You want this to work or not?" she put in.

He felt his heart start to skip more with fear, he's never gotten his fangs close to a human's before, he began to worry that if he gets near her, the stronger her blood scent will get to him, and the more he smells her blood, the more it urged him to drink it.

But seeing that it would have to do to make the plan work, he figured he might as well give it a shot.

"Fine" he sighed "Although if anything starts to happen, please stop me before things turn bloody."

Peyton suddenly felt a pit in her stomach, if anything did happen and Vincent couldn't control himself, he would most likely have his fangs in her neck, sucking her blood for the first time. So knowing she was putting her life at risk at this moment, she went to Vincent who got up from his stool as she sat in his place.

"Be careful" she reminded as she pulled her hair back and held her neck towards him.

At that point her scent struck his nose as he stepped back.

"You okay?" she asked calmly.

"Um- yeah" he replied, even though he wasn't.

"If my scent is bothering you I can-".

"No it's fine" he assured "I can do this, it's not like I'm going to bite you or anything."

"You sure...?" Jimmy questioned with a concerned look.

"Shut up Jimmy" Molly ordered as she turned to Vincent "Vincent, if you don't wanna do this, that's totally fine."

"No it's okay" Vincent assured once more "You guys need my help, and that's what I'm gonna do."

"Okay then-" Peyton said quietly "Go ahead."

After staring at her neck some more, Vincent gave a deep breath as he went up to her and brought his mouth to her neck. He then opened his mouth as he grew out his fangs and brought them to her neck so that the tip were just barely touching her skin.

"Okay-" Molly went up to Peyton with a pen "Hold still."

"I feel like Bella right now" Peyton giggled.

Fighting against her strong urging scent, Vincent clenched his fists and tried to resit the urge as Molly quickly marked the spots with the pen.

"Okay got it" she announced as Vincent quickly pulled away and grew his fangs back in.

Remembering how close he was to her neck, he gave a deep breath as he tried not to think about it.

"You okay?" Peyton asked in a calm tone.

"Yeah" I breathed "Just, don't ever let me do anything like that again."

Seeing how nervous he was, Peyton gave a promise nod.

"I promise."
