Fate's Bite: A Vampire Hetalia Story

Ivan: 08

A/N: Ivan won the poll! Yao's may be last, as he knows the most about the foretelling and is considered to be the 'True' Route. 

---------------

I looked to my left and right before crossing the road, heart beating loudly in my chest. 

Ever since yesterday Ivan has been holed up in his room, not even answering to my persistent knocks. Desperate, I thought I would try to buy groceries and attempt making a special Russian meal to lift his spirits.

Reader: The market should be right up ahead...

I thought aloud to myself, trying to remember.

???: Help!

What? I spun around but was alone.

???: Someone, please help me!

The voice seems to be coming from an alleyway! I broke out into a run, moving as fast as my legs could carry me. I rounded the corner, skidding to a halt.

Leaning against the wall was a person, head bowed. Their hand covered their stomach, blood flowing freely.

They slowly lifted their head, face pale.

???: You've come to save me...Please help, I've lost a lot of blood...

Were they stabbed? I didn't see a weapon, but the attacker might have held on to it.

I couldn't move, too in shock.

???: Please! Don't let me die.

They begged louder, startling me into motion.

Reader: It'll be okay, I'll help you so just hold on!

I should have my cell phone...ah! My bag, I must have dropped it while running!

???: Thank you.

I turned towards the injured person again, them smiling weakly.

Reader: Don't thank me yet; I haven't done anything.

In a swift motion they grabbed my wrist. Before I could call out they spun me around, slamming me against the brick alley wall so forcefully it knocked my breath away.

???: I've been waiting for a kind soul to rescue me...I've lost too much blood, you see.

I tried regaining my breath but they firmly placed their hand at my throat, just tight enough to dissuade me from moving.

???: You'll help me, right? If I stay like this I'm a goner for sure.

What is going on?!

My eyes flew open wide as they tilted my head back, exposing my neck.

Wait. No. No, no this can't be. This can't be what I think it is!

They licked their lips in anticipation, crazed by the smell of their own blood.

A vampire?! An injured one, at that?

I didn't have time to question, chills racing down my spine as they inhaled deeply, nose gently touching my skin.

Cold...

Without warning they extended their jaw wide, revealing two, long sharp fangs. I clamped my eyes closed tight, pain erupting as they forcefully jammed them into my neck.

I let out a scream, their hand covering my mouth, stifling it.

No...no, this is wrong!

The sound of them swallowing was enough to make me lightheaded. The fanning of their labored breath was disgusting.
