A Vampire's Desire

Choices with Consequences

  "Choose."Aaron growled.

  Lenny was brought back into the room, unharmed. Leah was gripping his wrists tightly, probably afraid he would escape. I had Redhead hovering over me.

   Cameron didn't say anything. I felt Redhead's hot breath fan my face. He drew the knife closer to me and grabbed my healthy, right arm that had no scars. The knife sent a shock of pain up my arm. My wrist was now becoming red from my blood. The air became electrified as blood budded from my wrist.

   "Choose before I take them both with me."Aaron's voice was filled with irritation.

   "Choose him."I manage to get out before Redhead cuts me worse."He's your brother."

   "No! I can defend myself easier than she can."Lenny objected.

   "Well thanks."The thanks comes out shakily as I try not to scream from agony.

   Aaron grabs Cameron just as he attempts to dart towards me. He struggles against the hold. Lenny glances at me worriedly. Then it hits me. They're all vampires. Cameron probably hasn't fed since, well, I don't know. That's most likely been since we've been here.

   Fuck. Now Aaron is trying to taunt him with my torture. That's not good. Unless when Cameron took the venom out of me, then he would've technically had a feeding. I don't know, this vampire shit is confusing.

   "Give me Lenny."Cameron stated, clearly defeated.

   "Good choice."Aaron smirks."Give me the knife, Zack."Redhead gets up and hands Aaron the knife.

   "What the hell? What were you thinking, dumb ass!"Lenny yells at his brother.

   I get a look at Cameron's eyes. They're black. Why are they black? I get pulled up by Redhead, pushing me out of the room. I'm in too much shock to protest against them. Cameron chose his brother over me.

    That stung a little. It was better for him though. Leah took my other side, grabbing my wrist with the fresh cuts. I let out a scream as he gripped it tighter. Aaron's head shot towards us I let out a cry of pain.  A smile danced across his lips as I suffered.

   A siren erupted as Aaron whispered words to Cameron. I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me as heavy footsteps boomed in the hallway. Redhead and Leah's grip became worse and I screamed again. A hand clamped over my mouth from behind me. Three police officers stood at the end of the corridor with guns in their hands. Cole called them.

   "Get out of here. Now."Aaron ordered.

   I was led down the hall, blood dripping from my wrist. Leah's hand stayed on my mouth while he escorted me away from the scene.

   I began to rebel against their holds on me. Leah removed his hand from my mouth to assist in controlling me.

     "What the fuck you asshole! Are you going to follow me around the rest of my life and try to kidnap me? It's a bunch of bullshit!"I slapped Leah across his face when he wasn't expecting it.

   "Get her out of my sight."His voice became icy.

   Redhead pushed me into another room, closing the door behind him. He looked at me intensely. I inspected him closer realizing something.

   "What the hell was that all about Rob!"I demanded fiercely.

   "Let me explain. I want to get you out of this, Hannah."He took a step closer to me.

   "I would've liked out of this when Leah molested me or when Aaron tried to seduce me!"I replied hastily.

   "I know, I know. I'm sorry but I couldn't do anything then. When he has his mind set on something, he will do anything to get it."

   "You could've said something to convince him otherwise! I really would've liked not getting groped by two horny vampires, you know?!"

   "I can't change the past. I can get you out of this, and I could get you and your friend home. Cameron and his vampire brother I can't take though."

   "Why not?"I snapped.

   "Cameron is unstable. Once you have a humans blood, it changes how you view it. Especially yours. When your blood got exposed to him, he went into a, kinda like a starvation mode. Vampires call it The Crave. His appetite for your blood increased dramatically, considering your blood is one of a kind."His tone deepens as he explains The Crave.

   I was speechless. How was Cameron going to fix this? Damn Aaron always fucking things up. One day I will get revenge. Only because karma is a bitch.

   "Let me help. I can get you a plane ticket in two days, for all four of you

but I don't think Cameron will be ready to leave until he gets his Crave under control."

   "Can you get Aaron to leave?"

   "The police are here, he'll be gone soon."

   "I need to get back to Cole, Rob. If you don't mind."

   "Watch yourself. They're watching. And waiting. This won't be over until he says it is, not when you say it is."

   I didn't reply. I walked around him, avoiding any unnecessary conflict. He followed me out, silent as a ninja. The unmistakable sound of handcuffs locking came to my ears. I turn my head to see Aaron against the wall, hands behind his back. I get the sense of dejá vu and smirk.

   "How does it feel, sweetheart?"I tease when he is in earshot.

   "Wait til I get my hands on you, you son of a bitch"Aaron ranted.

   "Don't poke the bear little girl."The officer holding Aaron warned.

   "Well, he kidnapped and molested me. I think he's asked for this one, buddy."I shoot back at him.

   "Well he will go to court then, buddy."He mimicked.

   "I'd happily share any evidence, officer. I hope his ass rots in jail."I answer politely then harsh at the last part.

   "I hope she gets hit by a car and dies."Aaron hissed at me.

   "Shut up."The officer slams him into the wall.

   I turn Aaron's head towards me and study his expression. A mixture of anger, regret and maybe lust, fill his eyes.

   "Can I talk to him, privately?"I ask.

   "Whatever."The officer mumbles, walking off to his partner.

   "Seriously, did you think you could barge in and try to kidnap me again?"I draw a finger down the middle of his chest, tracing his abs.

   I teased him a little more. I swear he was enjoying it, more than I expected. When I took my finger off him he sharply drew in his breath. I had this effect on him. I can use this to my advantage.

   "I guess it's just too bad that I won't miss you, huh?"I push him away, a wicked smirk plastered on my face.

   "Wait til I get out of this, you will pay."He gets in my face, embarrassed.

   "Karma is a bitch, and she's just getting started."I snap back.

    I walk down the hall to the lobby, hoping to find some peace where ever it may lurk.
