Blood Tie

Chapter 40

Rox's POV

After the door closed between me and Jungkook, everything hit me. Any possibility of me and Jungkook being together had been dashed out the window when Elena set her sights on him. The immense feeling of loss that I felt knocked the breath out of me. As if sensing my turmoil, Jimin tightened his hold on me and quickened his pace, almost as if he was anticipating the dams in me to break. Before I knew it, we were back to my room and Jimin transferred me carefully to one arm while opening my door with the other. Kicking the door shut behind us, Jimin walked over to my bed while still holding me and sat down on it slowly. Immediately after he loosened his arms around me I broke.

I sobbed until I couldn't breathe, pouring every little bit of emotion I had for Jungkook into the tears streaming down my cheeks. I screamed until my vocal cords were throbbing and the only sound coming out was a scratched keening. My body shook and I swear the only thing that kept the pieces of me from falling away was Jimin's arms around me, rocking me slowly while whispering random things into my hair. I longed for numbness, to not feel anything, I prayed and begged and pleaded for anything to make this pain go away. I felt an open gaping hole in my soul and the edges burned so fiercely I thought I was being engulfed by flames. I don't know how long this went on for, only that I felt it would never end.

I tried to tell myself it's not big deal, I just met him, he hasn't become important yet. I knew it was a lie though, he was important, no, he IS important. No matter how long I've known him, he accepted me. He smiled at me and held me and kissed me and made me feel a warmth I didn't know existed. He still stayed close even after finding out why others left, he didn't run, didn't fear me or feel disgusted by me. Even knowing the monster that I am and the even bigger one that I will someday become, I never felt monstrous with him, he made me feel human.

That's it, right there, I froze as it dawned on me, the reason I felt so much for him, the reason it hurt so bad. He saw my humanity and he made me feel real and now, he was out of reach and so was the part of me that felt like a person. I felt the urge to sob but could not cry anymore, as if all the tears had gone and just left this ache. I then realized how tightly Jimin held me and how wet his neck was from my tears, going so far as to soak his shirt. I then realized even though his pulse was right in front of my face and my vampire side had come out as I broke, that though it was easily accessible, I didn't yearn for his blood like I did with Jungkook's. Curiosity distracting me from my pain, I nuzzled his pulse with my nose. Jimin stiffened slightly and pulled away to look at me questioningly. His eyes grew large after taking in my appearance and he had a panicked look to his eyes.

I stared at him curiously until he held up his phone, front camera on and facing me. I looked at my reflection and whimpered at the sight. My eyes were red and my fangs extended though that was normal, what wasn't normal was the dark veins standing out against my nearly translucent skin. My face and neck were covered a labyrinth of veins and as I dropped my gaze to my hands I saw to my horror they continued. I whimpered again and began breathing quickly. Jimin immediately made a call while whispering to calm down and slow my breathing. The phone rang three times before a voice spoke from the other end.

"Hello?"

"Yoongi, something's wrong with Rox, I can see her veins, all of them and her skin is almost translucent."

"Fuck, when you see that it's a sign that she is close to a vampiric coma, basically where a vampire goes into a coma that will unwillingly kill them, turning them into a full fledged vampire. This usually doesn't happen except during extreme body strains or loss of blood, but with her, apparently strong emotions can bring it on as well. I thought I was the only one."

"Well what do I do so she doesn't die? She can't die!"

"Well obviously, you need to feed her."

"Okay I'll get her a sandwich or something!"

"No Jimin, you need to FEED her."

"What do you- oh, OH." Jimin looked at me with shock filling his eyes.

"Can you do that Jimin, there isn't time to wait otherwise I'd say hold off till I get there."

Jimin looked at me with and internal struggle going on in his eyes. Appearing to decide on a course of action he surprised me with his answer.

"Yeah I can, just hurry Yoongi."

"I will, with the amount of blood she'll need, it would be dangerous for you, just hold her over till I get there. Thank you Jimin." The phone line then went dead and Jimin looked at me nervously before opening his arms. I slowly moved towards him until I was sitting in his lap, my mouth almost on his pulse. Before I could bite him he spoke quietly.

"Rox could you maybe cut my neck first rather than biting me, I'm not used to your teeth quite yet." I immediately pulled back from his neck to see the nervousness still swirling around in his eyes.

"Are you sure about this, I won't do it if I scare you, I'll just wait for Yoongi."

"No, no, no, we aren't waiting. You don't scare me, I'm just not used to your fangs so please just make a cut."

I nodded at him slowly and used my nail to make a cut over his pulse. He winced and stretched his neck for me while settling his hands on my hips.

"It won't hurt, I promise so don't be scared." Jimin nodded slightly and I immediately let myself focus on the crimson liquid trickling from his neck. I leaned forward and licked the cut on his neck slowly, reveling in the taste of his blood. It tasted good but not like Jungkook's, Jimin's blood tasted of sweet strawberries reminding me comically of his hair. I cradled the side of his face gently in my hand as I leaned more into him, now pressed against his chest and still in his lap. I latched my mouth around the cut and began sucking the blood from his neck slowly. Jimin's hands tightened on my hips and he began to breathe heavily as I drank from him. His blood made me feel giddy and giggly, I happily kept on even as I heard the noises of enjoyment coming from him.

"R-Rox, I'm losing the ability to control myself right now and you really don't need me to lose control after all that has happened." I ignored his warning, too busy sucking harder at his neck for his strawberry flavored blood. The vampire side of me was thrilled though my human side hated myself for doing this to him. He then tried to pull away from me, to stop me from drinking. Though my human self knew it was wrong, that side wasn't in control. I felt myself become frustrated at the thought of stopping and so to ensure he stayed put, I wiggled atop him. Jimin immediately groaned and stopped pulling away, instead he clenched my hips tightly. Smiling against his neck, I knew in that moment I had him and proceeded to push at his chest so he laid back on the bed. He looked at me with lust filling his eyes as he bit his lip seductively.

I then leaned forward and latched my mouth onto his, kissing his soft lips slowly and tracing his lip with my tongue. The human part of me screamed to stop and let him go but the vampire side merely smirked and continued. Jimin kissed me back and massaged my hip with his fingers, nipping at my bottom lip. I pulled away from his mouth and went back to licking and sucking the blood that was spilling out of the cut. I then unbuttoned his shirt and pushed it off him. I began to slowly trail my hand down his chest, tracing his muscles and nearing his pants. Jimin groaned under me but just as I was about to let my hand wander further down, my bedroom door slammed open.
