Being Human

10. My dear old Love..

Allura Pov

People say it's such a waste to be married by 19 but was it really? That didn't stop me when I got proposed to. Long ago before I met Shiro I was wedded to another. Lotor..he was something alright. I was drawn to him That's for sure but something seemed off about him and his parents. I never mind to it seeing he only did things that pleased me. "Allura, I'll be back in a few days. Don't fret my dear" he caressed my cheek as I smiled "Of course my love. Be back soon" he would kiss me gently as if I could break and disappear. I wondered why he would leave and when I would ask he would put it aside or change the subject.

I figured out why when I found my father dead with a creature draining him. "Father!" The creatures eyes glowed a bright red and blood dripped from its mouth "Oh..Allura this isn't how you were to find out." I was shaking as I back away seeing Lotor's father clean his face "You! You monster! You killed my Father! The only family I have left!" He sighs as he reached for me "Allura.." I moved away "Don't you dear touch me! I'm gonna tell! Im gonna find someone to kill you!" I ran as fast as I could but was stopped by Zarkon "You naive child. No one will believe you. They'll put you in a asylum where you'll go insane til you die"

I felt the tears fall freely as he went to touch me but felt a force as Lotor stood before me "Father? Honestly I leave for a few days and you already killed my in law?" His father groans "Why are you back so soon?" He looks at me and caressed my cheek but I don't feel safe like before "I could sense her fear. You honestly want to kill my wife? You need to fight me in order for that to happen." I couldn't stand anymore and I passed out.

It was a few days later I came to but I felt different. I could hear things clearer and see better. I slowly sat up seeing I was in my night gown and my hair in messy curls. "Lotor?" I asked as he came in "Hello princess, how are you feeling?" I felt weird like I died and came back. "Why do I hear and see better? What are you?" He sighs as he moved of my hair "Darling I had to save you. You had a virus that was gonna kill you. I couldn't bare let you die? What kind of husband would I Be?" I blinked owlishly as I stood up looking around. Every step felt heavily and I couldn't control it. "I died?" He nods

"Yes, Allura you did and I saved you." I smacked his face as he chuckles "Do you feel satisfied?" I shook my head "Your father killed my Father. He's this creature what are you?" He sighs "Allura darling, if I tell you can't run off" I nodded "I won't." He nods as he quickly walks towards the bed "We're vampires." I covered my mouth "Vampires? Did you make me like him?" He nods "I did. But only because you were my wife and I love you Allura" he said it like he meant it. "Don't you love me?" I hesitated "I'm not sure? You lied to me, and you go and turn me into a monster. Why couldn't you let me to die?"

He shook his head "I didn't want to lose you. Now I best believe you are thirsty so let's go" I held my throat that felt incredibly dry "You haven't fed in days. So allow me to help you" he took my hand as we entered a part of the house I never knew existed. "I have been collecting for you my dear. Souls that want to die. And as you finish I'll show you how to go on." I nodded but a smell so intoxicating made me feel dizzy. "I could almost taste it. Lotor where is it?!" I grabbed his arms as he smirked "This way dear" as he opened the door there was at least 6 people who looked ready to parish. "Enjoy" he closed the door as I felt tears in my eyes "I'm so sorry..but I need to feed"

As I sucked the last one I curled in on myself and cried. I looked at all the drained bodies as I felt disgusted and annoyed. But it felt so good. It made me feel guilty and I hate this feeling. "Come now" I look up and see Lotor as he helped me up. "Time for a bath my dear. And a change of clothing" I simply just did as told. He bathed me as he joined me. He dressed me and even kept me company as if I would run. Why would I if I have nowhere to go? I was his and he was mine. My mate. My lover. My husband.
