I'm Being Stalked By A Ghost & Hunted By A Vampire

Part Fifty-Four

"Rumor..." your voice is weak as you begin to feel faint. He presses himself harder against you, and then quickly pulls away, panting hard as you slowly fall back.

He quickly catches you, supporting your body in his arms. He presses his back against the wall as he brushes your hair out of your face. You stare dumbfounded towards him, your eyes questioning his actions.

"Sorry there babe, I couldn't help myself." He breathes exhaustedly, almost forced, as you blink, feeling a chilling numbness, "I think I've lost too much blood today." You whisper quietly as Rumor eyes change back to the crystal blue you recognise.

You feel him moving, but you can't seem to focus, the world seems to be darkening around you. You begin to feel weightless, your head lolling as you try to sit up.

You feel something on your lips, but you're too numb to figure out what it is. You feel it slip into your mouth; and a familiar taste fills your senses as you become more aware of your surroundings. You blink a couple of times before you sit up.

"Rumor?" you question as he shrugs slightly, "Just some blood to help you recover. Think of it as a thank you... for saving me." You pause, looking around the dark room.

"I haven't saved you yet." You mumble. "You've helped me more then you know." His voice was sincere, something very unusual for Rumor.

"Do share?" he pulls you into him, locking you in a tight embrace.

"I would have become a Nybras if it wasn't for your blood." You catch yourself questioning with your facial expressions,

"What? You can be turned into one of those things??" Rumor releases you from his tight squeeze, "Yes, there are some restrictions but if a vampire doesn't feed in a certain amount of time, they risk the chance of turning into a Nybras. It's quite a troublesome way to go, so I very much appreciate the blood, though I do apologise for my barbaric manner!"

You nod your head, aware that Rumor can see in the dark.

"How do I get you out of here?" you question as you search the ground for the candle you dropped.

"I'm not sure. These are pretty tough chains, I've been trying to break them for weeks."

"Why can't you break them?" you ask as you search the ground but are not able to find the candle you dropped and sigh out of frustration.

"They hold special bindings that keep my kind restraint. I will not be able to break free. You'll have to find the keys to get me out of here." You stare blankly towards what you assume are Rumors eyes "How am I supposed to get the keys?"

You feel Rumor shrug, "Beats me, but that seems like the most plausible plan for the situation." You subconsciously nod your head, standing up from the ground.
You don't feel as bad as you thought you would, luckily Rumors blood was able to revive you a bit.

"You'll have to be cautious when you visit me babe, I'll need some of your blood here and there, but we will have to be careful about it. I'll have to control myself and the blood lust so it seems like I'm still starving."

You nod your head in approval. "I'll do what I can!" you smile faintly, finding some joy in this terrible situation. Something seems to click in Rumor head for his expression just changed drastically to an unusual look of concern, "Has he hurt you?" you tilt your head to the side, finding it hard to see without the candle.

"Yes, but it could have been worse. Right now, I am just a source of food and a lousy house cleaner for some reason. Did you know he was behind my breaking? He actually planned it all out! However, he never really went into detail about it. He needs me for something." You try to explain the best you can, but Rumor's left confused.
