H2OVanoss VAMPIRES

Chapter 21

Amber's POV
It's early evening, my favourite hunting time. The wide spread trees hide me as I dance through the shadows, pressing my face to the sun bathed bark. A deer family wonder past, gnawing on the leaves and herding a baby fawn into a bush. I can hear their collective hearts beating, trying to sense me as I stalk them. Finally I'm in a good position, I leap over to the group, tackling the stag to the ground as I pierce the vein and leave the flask to fill as I grab the momma deer and do the same. The fawn watches as I hunt, then its their turn -evil grin-. I drag the passed-out deer bodies into a bush as I continue. I leap for a fox when I hear a scream. David is lying in a patch of nettles. Vampires can feel pain, yet damage doesn't last long. To soothe the stings I find dock leaves, spit in them and rub them on his sore arms legs and neck. He pulls my hand away when I reach for his face. I kiss him shyly, feeling the icy radiate from his skin, begging for me, yearning.
David's POV
I cling to Amber as she continues to rub dock leaf on me. At first the pain is still there but soon, it leaves. Amber takes my hand leading me to a lake by the forest."Evan showed me this, its packed with wildlife. Come." She ushers me into a boat and rows out into the middle."Look, kites and there! A flock of gulls." She points then stops,"Whoah, a giant grass carp! Loads!" I lean over and see dark green fish swimming and birds swooping overhead. Giggling, Amber takes my hand,"I want to travel the world someday." She sighed,"Go to Costa Rica, Arizona, Hawaii and Australia and Asia. All for the animals. Horse shoe crabs, moon jellyfish, it fascinates me how people can be oblivious to things like this." I nod, Amber seems in a dream world,"If you go, can I come too?" I ask as I kiss her, we fall into the lake, as we hold each-other in the waters dark embrace...
