His love

A true blood? pt.1

 How long have they been here? Did they see me throw up? I can feel myself hunger for more, but the only blood I want to drink from is Desmonds. Imagining his sweet blood makes my skin crawl- in a good way, but it's probably not good for me to suck him dry. How does he keep majika's blood down? I look at gabe- he is concerned. Interestingly enough, I can't read either of there minds.

"What's wrong?" Desmond asks. Both gabe and majika look at me- Desmond looking at me afterwards.

"No." he says. no what? No, I didn't throw up or no, there's something else?

"Desmond it's true- you have to be careful."

"Can someone please talk to me instead of leaving me out of the picture?!" I snap. Gabe rushes over to me, looking at me intensely.

"Alannah, were you able to keep Majika's blood down?" He brushes my hair with his fingers behind my ear- I move his hand away- he is making feel uncomfortable. I hop off the trash can- I can feel that it's 3 against one; do I lie or tell the truth?

"No." I say. Desmond grunts in anger, I begin to panic. Desmond throws his hand into a brick wall cutting clear into the foundation. I jump, I've never seen him this angry...at me.

"What?" I say feeling the tears coming along; why can't we have just one day, one normal fucking day.

"Alannah, you're blood reacts negatively to anyone else's blood besides Desmonds. We ran some tests on the vaccine that you were given at the facility and the one your biological mother gave you- the one she had was scientifically and genetically meant for you. But the one the facility gave to you was laced with his blood- true blood. The vaccine was altered because of the toxins his blood generated due to how this liquid reacts to vampire blood. But it was never tested on true bloods- when Desmond reacted to the touch of you two, it only affected him after awhile. It drained his energy- not his thirst. Had you noticed any signs before Desmond inserted his venom when you died?"

I had to think about it, it felt like so long ago but it wasn't. During the facility I never paid attention to anything except for where Desmond was and what they were doing to them. When I woke up all I remember was seeing him laying on the table next to me; his blood being drained. Laying on that table scared the hell out of me. What kind of symptoms are they looking for anyway, my eyes hurting? Wait- I do remember my teeth were hurting only after a while did I notice my gums were the real problem; I thought maybe it was because I haven't seen a dentist in a while. Then there were those headaches, but I inherited migraines from my dad- or I thought I did. Were my Matanica genes being overridden by Desmonds powerful blood?

I have to reconsider everything don't I? Did those things really happen or was it my hallucination, or do I really have migraines and cavities? I can't just say 'yeah.' and leave it at that. If I'm not careful I could say something wrong. What if there not being 100% truthful about something, waiting for me to screw up so they can attack me. How am I supposed to react to bad news? Why is Desmond so mad anyway? I look at Desmond but he won't even look at me, like he's disgusted that I'm linked to him now. It's the places fault they didn't do the science right- It's not like I had a choice.

As I lean against the wall- everyone, besides Desmond is waiting for my answer; I remember that I took a door off it's hinges and my hair began to float in the air; because Desmond was in pain. How could I forget about that?

I start telling everyone about what happened and the days leading up to my death, the exchanges that I had with the boy nurse and Cerina. The way Desmond dragged me, hitting each and every bone on my body, ripping my clothes off, sucking blood out of my neck until I passed out- probably bleeding to death. When I woke up it was black- I thought I was dead; until I heard Desmonds voice, when I heard that I suddenly woke up, I could see him running towards me.

"She was on the verge? Desmond, you neglected to tell me this?!" He yells. Desmond looks over surprised- as if he forgot he found me there. Desmond told me 'You should never be here'. But I have been there before- in fact, I was here when I saw Desmond for who he truly was for the first time. It was the place with the fog and the twig I snapped. I was being told something, I'm sure.

"I've been there before." I state, staring down at my hands and then at Gabe. Desmond finally looking at me- majika staying quite.

"do you understand what the verge is meant for?" I shake my head no. I never really cared to think about it that much, It was a place that was terrifying, a place that brought to much trouble so I never dwelled there.I clench my pants in anger for some reason.

"The verge-" Gabe starts.

"Is meant for true bloods." Desmond finishes. He unfolds his arms from his chest and begins to walk to me, he bends down to reach my level-

"That's not possible- how could I never notice?" He pulls down my shoulder to the birth mark on my left collarbone; I've had that since I was a child-

"My friends always said it looked like-"

"A bat." They all finished my sentence. Majika finally emits from the shadows her eyes opened wide, she's in shock. So am I? How can I be a true blood vampire if I'm human, a matanica at that? It can't be possible- a true blood/human/matanica all mixed in one? What does this mean? I've really been alive for thousands of years and never knew about it.

"We need to find Amalecitae." Desmond says.

"We don't have to look very far." Gabe said.
