Atlantis

A whole lot of talking

I turn around and asked, "What side?"

"Left." I pull all of my hair over my right shoulder exposing the left. I feel him crawl into the bed behind me and put a hand around my waist. "Don't worry." he put the other arm over my right shoulder. "I'll be gentle."

I tensed as I felt his breath on my neck. Looking back on the first time it happened I can say that I was a little excited to finally know how the legend worked. Man was I stupid.

First Victor licked my neck then I felt a sharp quick pain like a needle pierce my neck. "Oww." I said quietly. I could feel his teeth leave my skin then I heard it. It was like someone was drinking from a straw but it was right by my ear. I shivered but he didn't stop. The sensation was much like getting a hickey only the lips didn't move as much. Sorry scratch that Mark never gave good hickeys and I wasn't sure I was either so it wasn't bad I assure you.

So then Victor licked me again and paused. I was starting to feel light headed then but he kept going after he said, "Delicious."

It started to dawn on me that Victor's sense couldn't power over the instinct to eat and I started to panic. What could I do he had me trapped in his arms. Think I told myself but that didn't work as I was starting to spin inside my head. Black dots started appearing in front of my eyes. I could scream but who would come to save me?

With all the strength left in me I push back and fall to the ground with Victor beneath my back. There was blood on my fingers as I touched my neck and I couldn't bring myself to say it was mine. Victor moves and I find myself rolling off him and over onto the ground beside him. "What?" he said holding the back of his head. He looked over at me and said, "Emily!" it was pretty bad then. Not that I really cared at this point all I wanted to do was sleep. "Emily!"

So I woke up to a beautiful face that belonged to none other than Jerry. "Good morning sunshine did I keep you waiting long," I said rubbing my eyes. He put a finger to his lips then pointed to the side. I rolled my head to the side to see what he was pointing to.

I see Amanda collapsed on the couch and Victor leaning on the bed's side asleep. I smile and look at Jerry who was sitting on the foot of the bed. He hands me a glass of water that I drink as quietly as I can before handing it back to him. "How are you feeling?" he asked leaning in so he wouldn't wake the other two.

"Hungry," I replied quietly.

"What would you like?" he whispered with a small smile.

"Orange juice with an egg sandwich lots of bacon please," I think I might have made a mistake by asking for my planets food. "A warm beverage and breakfast will do."

"Sorry about that." Jerry got up and left to go get me food. What a guy he understands so well. I thought as I gazed at the ceiling. I could've tried to get up but I felt so weak that even lifting my drink earlier was difficult. I had been propped up by pillows and covered in soft blankets but my clothes were still the same. I could use a long soak in the tub about now.

I catch a flicker of movement in the shadows and watch as my favorite cat emerged. "Rahn," I whispered excitedly.

"You can talk normally I've put a sleeping spell on those two. They wouldn't go to sleep like Jerry did so I had to put them under. He doesn't know that though." Rahn purred crawling under my arm. I laughed and stroked his head the best I could.

"you're the best Rahn," I said as he purred.

"I know." his tail twitched as I scratch his ears. "Sorry I didn't get here in time. I could have helped you."

"Everyones apologizing for something they shouldn't. It was my fault for not realizing sooner. Besides Victor didn't mean to do it."

"You know him very well for just meeting him. I still don't know everything about him and I've been with him for three hundred years."
