I've only read tenth grade bites, so what I know will be based off of that. I don't know if Meredith will make an appearance, just because the serious triangle it would make, although there would be an interesting twist…so I guess you'll just have to wait and see.
(Snow's point of view)
I walked down the hallways of this dreadful hell, school…who was the jackass who invented it? Honestly, we don't need seven hours of school. I came to my locker, turning around the little things on my lock until it opened, I can't imagine forgetting my lock code, it would be embarrassing and frustrating. Although, I don't worry about popularity much, or et embarrassed easily. I pulled out my shoulder bag and shoved my history book inside. I looked at the picture of me and October, even though I'm not one in her group we're best friends, though occasionally I will join her for a mid-night walk. I put my bag over my shoulder and closed my locker, then once I turned around I gasped. I hadn't expected Vlad to be right behind me.
"Need a drink?" I asked, I didn't mind letting him feed off me, it was strange I almost enjoyed it. Maybe it was the feeling of his lips against my neck that made me eager, but there was one thing I knew, I was in love with him.
"Just a sip…if you don't mind." He was so kind, even though he knew I'd gladly let him drain all my blood he still asked.
"Alright, hey Vlad…I was thinking maybe we could hang out some more…even if I am your drudge it doesn't mean we can't be friends."
He rubbed the back of his head, I bit my lip I half expected him to say no, but to my surprise a smile grew on his face and he spoke, "Actually, I was sort of thinking the same thing, you know? I have been wanting to get to know you a bit better."
I smiled back "Ok, cool."
"Cool."
I starred at his eyes for a moment, then remembered why he was here. I pulled back my long raven hair and stood closer to him. He looked around, making sure no remaining students were in the hall, but since school had ended but five minutes ago I was sure no one would see. He then sank his fangs into my neck, I wondered if vampires were just naturally gentle when they did it, or if Vlad was just being nice…but I guess it didn't really matter. I started getting that almost-dizzy-feeling that I always got when he took a "sip" Once he had his drink he pulled away, my black hear swept back around my shoulders, covering the mark which would heal shortly. He rubbed the back of his neck, like he wanted to say something. I starred at him, curiously. Finally he broke out into that smile that always came on his face and gave me a hug, I hugged him back...it felt nice to be in his arms. He then tucked same hair behind my ear and whispered, "Thanks" as he walked off down the hall to go meet up with Henry who was standing by the exit. I let out a deep sigh, I hadn't realized I'd been holding my breath. I couldn't wait to meet Vlad's family, and actually get to know him a little better.
I arrived home, my father passed out on the couch with the TV tuned into a sports channel. I sighed, it was hard seeing him like this everyday. I turned the TV off and put a pillow behind him, he always get's sore backs when he sleeps on the couch. I walked up to my room and lightly shut the door. My walls were painted black and red, and was dark. It was covered in the Shadow's by the thick curtains on my window. I sat on my bed and pulled my journal out of my shoulder bag. I opened it and took out my pen, and I began to write the events of today, the way Vlad and I had slowly inched closer, and how the teachers were normal bitches and bastards. And how the jocks and preps talked about me being a Satan worshipper, which isn't true might I add. I pulled my cell phone from my bag, hoping for a text from Vlad…but nothing. I was deeply in love with him, it was unimaginable how crazy I was for him. And I seemed very tense around him. It was a good feeling, but what didn't feel so great was that his heart belonged to someone else. Meredith, he's told me everything, sure we weren't exactly friends…but he was very open with the people he knew. Even though he really did love her and hadn't broken up with her because of what he said…it still sort of hurt to know he'd never love me back. After a few more moments passed by of starring at my journal, my phone vibrated, buzzing on my bed making an annoying sound. I eagerly picked it up anyways and unlocked it, as the buzzing ceased I was glad that it was a text from Vlad. I read it out loud to myself.
"Hey Snow, you still want to hangout?"
I bit my lip as I became eager. I quickly flipped it open and punched the numbers with my thumbs, usually I'm not this good at texting…but this was an opportunity to become friends with Vlad. I texted back 'Of course.' after I sent it I then regained my calm, cool, laid back attitude and ran a hand along my neck…as expected the bite marks were good and gone by now. I rubbed my neck more, how I wished one day Vlad would slowly drag his fangs across my skin and slowly reach my lips, and bring me into a passionate kiss. And if that didn't happen, it might be a little fun if he moved lower and found his lips on my collar bone, kissing me so softly getting lower and moving farther- My phone suddenly vibrated again, bringing me out of my lustful thoughts. I looked at the text, from Vlad of course.
"Great, I should be at your front door in a couple of seconds."
Before I could set my phone back down there was a gentle knock that could be heard from in my room. I put my things back in my bad and threw it in my closet. I looked into the mirror and made sure my eye liner wasn't all crappy like Andrew's was the few times I saw him. I patted my hair down softly, then walked down the small stairs in my home. I opened the door to see Vlad standing there looking sexy as ever. His pale skin was just so irresistible, even though most girls would like a tanned guy. I rolled up the white sleeves on my black shirt and stretched, it was slightly hotter outside then it was when I'd gotten home. We both were walking to Vlad's house, and had started up a small conversation.
"So where's Henry, I thought you guy's were practically glued together."
"Yea? Well where's October."
I elbowed him and we both laughed. "Well to tell you the truth Henry has been sneaking off with Chelsea lately to hang out with the more popular crowd."
"Hmm, and you're not upset?"
"Nah, we've faced life and death together, I'm sure a few snobs can't change his mind about me."
"True."
I looked over at him and attempted to grab his hand, I did it more of a friendly way then anything else. He simply chuckled and gripped onto my hand in return. Once we arrived at his place I was kind of nervous. I knew he didn't have a real dad or mom because his parents were…dead, but these people were just as important to him, Otis and Nelly. I followed him into his house.
"Vladimir, is that you?" A female called from the kitchen.
"Yea Nelly, I'm here."
"Alright, there's some blood bags in the freezer, I made sure to grab you O positive this time."
"Thanks."
I just stood there, following Vlad around like a little puppy. When he sat on the living room couch, I joined him. He turned on the TV.
"Hey Vlad, when are we going to get to…you know just talk?"
"In a few minutes, I'm going to wait for my uncle to get home before I go hide from him for the night." Vlad laughed a little.
Nelly soon came in with a warm cup of blood for me, I could smell it.
"Vladimir I- oh….I didn't know you had a fr-"
"It's OK Nelly, she knows."
"Really?"
"She's a drudge…" I felt like he felt bad when he said that last part, who knows maybe he did.
"Alright then." He handed the cup to Vlad and looked at me. She held out her hand.
"Hello, I'm Nelly." I shook her hand
"It's Snow."
We slowly pulled our hands back. "What a nice name." She said with a smile, while walking back into the kitchen. I looked a Vlad a bit nervously, then much like one would say to a young child who had patted a dog on the head, he said, "Don't worry…he likes you." Vlad added a smile at the end, he smiled a lot surprisingly. I smiled back at him and touched the side of his face. I looked into his eyes, they were such a nice warm hazel (I don't know Vlad's eye color.) for a moment we starred, a felt like maybe he felt a small connection with me, I mean I guess we did know each other before all of this…but still we were never friends. But maybe that all didn't matter, maybe the only connection there was because I was his drudge and he was my master. I then heard the door open and pulled away from Vlad, it was obviously his Uncle at the front door, who else?
"Ah, Vladimir, I have awaited seeing you as I was on a….um…hunt."
"It's ok Otis, she knows our secret."
"So she does."
"Yea, Otis, this is Snow, Snow, this is Otis."
"It's very nice to meet you young lady." He extended his hand towards me, at first I just stood there, then shook his hand, I had always been afraid of men in general. You could probably tell because of my abusive father.
"Nice to meet you too….uh…Otis." He chuckled as he let go of my hand.
(Vlad's point of view.)
I slightly grinned as I had proved my point that Snow would get along good with my…parents. I then felt someone push into my head.
'Vlad, Snow is a nice young lady, but I sense that she is but a drudge…why do you insist on befriending them?'
I replied to Otis with full truth.
'Otis, I don't get it… is it impossible for me to be friend with my drudges? I t feels wrong to just boss them around against their will. Please just understand that.'
I then felt my mind empty, a conversation being unlikely to come up again. I looked over to Snow who seemed very uncomfortable, to tell you the truth I did have feeling for her…strange as it is, even if I don't know her that well. But I feel like I could hurt her as badly as I had almost Meredith. I knew Snow wouldn't mind common nibbling, but if I actually kill her I'd never forgive my self. I tapped her leg and got up, she followed me up to my room. When I opened the door a blast of freezing air hit us. My room was always oddly cold. We both stepped in, and Snow was looking around, eyeing all my little things and seeming to like how the sun was kept out. I sat on my bed and patted the spot next to me. She happily came over and sat next to me. I looked in her grayish-blue eyes, she was so beautiful.
(Snow's point of view.)
Well, Vlad finally started talking to me after an awkward silence.
"So, how have you been?" My heart was racing and my cheeks were warming up, for no reason at all!
"Uh, fine just…you know the usual."
"Yea."
"How have you been Vlad?"
"Ha, aside from D'ablo trying to murder me and trying to control my hunger…everything's been peachy." He laughed again. I giggled a little after him.
"I guess living life as a vampire is way harder then I thought then."
"Well it isn't easy, that's for sure."
We both shared an awkward laugh for a moment, things were so weird around Vlad, like I was always exited, and my normal attitude just floated away to wherever it wanted to, I wonder if Vlad felt the same, or if he just more then usual at home. Both are unlikely, so I must just be going crazy or something. I breathed in a deep breath and looked down at my hands.
"Hey, Nelly want's to know if your going to want to stay for dinner."
Otis must have used his telepathic-ness to tell Vlad. I then thought for a moment…aren't they going to be like…eating blood?
"Dude you're a vampire…aren't you going to be eating blood?"
He chuckled. "Well sure, me and Otis…but you and Nelly can eat cooked-non-blood stuff."
I blushed again, I should have realized that. "O-Oh uh yea sure…I'll stay for dinner."
"Cool." He smirked.
After a few moments he lied back on his bed, seeming more relaxed now. I kicked my shoes off and they landed next to Vlad's. I lied down on his bed next to him and we both looked at each other.
"So what do you do when your by yourself…you know when no friends are around?"
"I just think about stuff really, it doesn't bother me to be alone."
He turned on his side and held his head with his hand as if he were interested in what I had to say.
"Why not?"
I then said what I'd been wanting to tell someone my whole life. "Well it's been like that my whole life, since birth."
He nodded his head, realizing that with an abusive drunken father, there aren't many people to take care of you. Or even keep you company.
"Well what about when you are around friends?"
"You know, I guess I just kind of fade into the background unless I'm with October. Usually at the club I just hangout on the dance floor."
He nodded his head again, then returned to his normal position, which was lying on his back.
"What about you Vlad? Even with a nice friend like Henry, I'm sure there are times when you feel really alone."
"Yea…I just try to keep my distance form people, I mean if popular kids see you sitting alone, or even glance at you to see no one around….its like they want to rub it in…and that's when I start to feel kind of sad."
"I know what you mean Vlad."
"…We have a lot more in common then I thought we did.."
"Yea I guess we do.." I knew we had a ton of stuff in common long before we started talking, but that's probably because I kind of…..stalked him for a few weeks.
Vlad yawned, his sharp fangs pulling through his gums as he did. I knew he was still hungry, he just wasn't asking for anything. I pulled my raven hair behind me head and sat up.
"Come on Vlad, you need some blood."
"No that's ok…I can wait for dinner."
I dropped my hair then let myself fall back next to him. I too yawned. I was kind of tired. We'd been up here longer then I'd realized. It was like time sped up when I was around Vlad, I then realized we were probably sitting there in silence for a huge amount of time before we did start talking, which didn't last very long as you know. And that's something that disappoints me. I turned around so I was lying on my stomach and put my head on my arms, before I knew it I had fallen asleep.
I woke up with a huge pain in my body. I rubbed my neck, there were bite marks there. I didn't feel weak like I would after a bite until at least a few hours later. Vlad couldn't have bitten me could he? I don't think he would have done it while I was asleep. Unless he did it in his sleep or something. I looked to my left to see Vlad sleeping there soundly. I pulled out my phone and looked at the time, it was 6:04, I couldn't have been asleep that long. I looked over at Vlad and tapped him nose, he instantly woke up…which was kind of weird.
"Yea…?" He was so cute with his hair flipped all around.
"Um did you bite…..me?"
He glided his tongue around his mouth.
"I don't think so, I would still taste your blood."
"Uh…" I was really scared now, what if it was his uncle? Now that would be weird, or even worse….another vampire…but wouldn't they have killed me? (I'll admit I got this idea from reading another fic, although I don't remember which) I felt my arms shake a bit, this was really scary…you have no idea how afraid I was at this moment. Some vampire came into Vlad's house..without him or Nelly..or even Otis knowing, then drank my blood…maybe Nelly's too, but my blood. And even weirder is that they left me alive. I don't think vampire's would have that much control if it's sucking someone's blood, I mean it's hard enough for Vlad and he's just half vampire.
