The Vampire and The Slave

Chapter 7: Hangovers and Friend"s".

I caught Charles in a good mood this morning. Good thing too because I wasnt feeling too good. Stupid hangover.

"This is what you get, Miss Riley. Drinking too much that it brings physical harm. Psh. If you were a full, pure vampire like I..."Here we go again. I roll my eyes. "You wouldnt be in this mess." He said proudly. Always rubbing it in my face. I can't wait until I am a full vampire. Speaking of which....

"How do I become a marvelous, amazing, spectacular full pure vampire such as yourself? At least the way you paint yourself." I said sarcastically, giving him a bad look.

"There's plenty of ways." He started to walk into the kitchen. I got up, annoyed, but not to quickly since the whole hangover thing.

"Like?" I asked rudely.

"You can have sex with the descendant of the first vampire and he will turn you because of his pure bloodline and such." Nope! "You have to near death, for human anatomy reasons, for my venom to over take your weak body." No thanks. I would like to live. "Or lastly....." he stopped.

"Lastly what??" I asked. This could be the one!!!

"Actually, Ms. Riley, I dont remember." He seemed to think and then he shrugged, as a sign of defeat. So those are my options, huh? Well, that sucks.

The Human species must love me of the Vampire species must hate me.

~Time Skip~

As a half blood, because thats what I am, I can avoid sleep. Id say for like 3 years or longer. I dont really know because I only know from what Charles told me. He only survived for 3 years; said "It drives you mad, Ms. Riley!!! I could not stand it!" The reason I say this is because im going to see Betty!!! Im excited. Sam (baby's name for now) is kinda excited. Sam keeps moving. I get ready in last times clothes because I dont want Charles to be suspicious. I just needed advise on how to tell Charles. Yes im ready to tell him but I dont know how.

I run to the door and I take my keys. I take the back door, just for the change. As soon as I hit grass I run and run and run. I got there in record time. I start to walk and I look in the alleyway where the stoners were yesterday but they're not there. Instead I see a guy just sitting in a chair, slumped over so I couldn't see his face. I come up to him, worried that he needed medical care.

"Sir?" I reach my hand to lift him up by his shoulders but he grabs me. I gasp out of surprise that number 1, he was alive and number 2, I was grabbed by my wrist and his hold was getting tighter. His hand was huge! His nails were yellow and it looked gross. I started to pry his sausage fingers off one by one. Note to self: when im done bathe in clorine for 10 hours. After I was free he looks up and gives me a rapist smile. Oh no. I dont hesitate to run vampire speed in front of a human. I was about to get fuckinf raped! Rule #10: Dont "float" in front of humans. To hell with the rules!

I ran to Betty's work place and collapsed on their couch in the waiting room. Some lady was working the front desk and as soon as I collapsed we had a glare off. Without letting my cold expression fall I commanded, "Take me to Betty. Now." She got up, almost mechanically and walked me to Betty. She was on the roof looking at the stars.

"Im on break Cassandra. Leave me alone." She said. Cassandra just left just as abruptly as she appeared. Weird. I came up to her and tapped her shoulder. I met her with a smile. Betty smiled sadly. I went and hugged her. She hugged me back and collected her emotions. After a couple of sniffles, she was okay.

"Hows the baby?" Betty asked. She looked down at my tummy. I started to feel threatened now that she made notice of it.

I looked down and noticed that I was showing. Not alot but enough where only people who payed close attention could tell.

"Sam's good. Im good" I said. She nodded.

"I have a question Betty."

"Go ahead....."

"Eternity is my name, in case I never told you. How....could I tell my mas-boyfriend?" I stuttered. She looked at me.

"Well....uhm you can bring up the act and tell him. Thats best I think." She said as she smiled.

"Im just scared of his reaction, y'know? He's unpredictable but predictable. I dunno. Its hard to explain." I sighed, suddenly feeling stressed and anxious. Betty starts to rub my back like a mother would. Brings me back to my mother. Oh mom...

After that, we talk about her and what she has to do. Ironically, she has a 3 year old son. A woman who has a 3 year old son and works at an abortion clinic during her pregnancy. Soon, her hour and a half break was over and I headed home to a sleeping Charles. I smrik and lay in bed next to him to sleep the morning away.
