Mistrust
Chapter 2
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room. Everything was so bright, and the noise was deafening. I looked around and saw Chris leaning against the wall.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You're at my home."
"I've never seen this part of your house before." I said confused.
"Not that house, my real house." He said. "How do you feel?" He asked me.
"Ok, but my jaw hurts." I said, wincing at the pain.
"That's because you're hungry." He told me.
"You need to take her hunting son." I heard from behind me. I turned and saw a teenage boy.
"I know, I was just about to. Rose, this is my father." He said, which confused me.
"It's nice to meet you." I said, but instead of replying he huffed and walked off.
"He doesn't approve of our way around the rules." Chris explained.
"How can he be your father? He looks the same age as you!"
"We call our creators our father." He said.
"Well I'm not calling you father, that would just be too weird." I said and he laughed.
"That's understandable, follow me." He said and led me out of the room and up the stairs.
"How long was I out?" I asked.
"24 hours, that's the usual transitioning time." He said. We walked through his elaborate home, down hallways that would usually confuse me, but I was managing to keep up with which way we had come from. Must be my new vampire mind I guess. We went in to a room full of people and the pain in my jaw increased. "Time to feed Rose." Chris said to me.
"On humans?" I asked shocked.
"Yes, what did you think you'd eat?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "Rose, if you don't feed now then you will become weak, and then all the pain you went through will be for nothing. "You don't have to drink them dry, but to prevent that you will have to concentrate." He said. "It makes it easier if you remember your reason for doing this in the first place." He told me. I focused my mind on my love for Chris whilst he brought one of the people towards me.
He was young, barely 16 I would say. He looked terrified but didn't make a sound. The closer he got, the more painful the feeling in my jaw got. I grabbed him by his shoulders and pulled him towards me. I sunk my teeth in to his neck, the delicious taste of his blood almost drowning out the sound of his screams. Almost.
Suddenly his screams stopped, and his body went limp in my arms. But I didn't stop drinking from him, but soon he ran out of blood, and I let him drop to the floor. I stared at his corpse in horror.
"Oh my god." I couldn't believe I had just done that.
"Are you full? Or do you need some more?" Chris asked me.
"How can you ask me that? I just killed someone!" I screamed at him, completely freaking out.
"It's fine, don't worry about it, he'll be replaced by tomorrow." Chris said to me, completely calm.
"How can you speak about him like that? He's a human being!"
"Correction, he was as human being." He said and I stared at him, not able to believe his heartlessness. "Look, it happens ok? Sometimes it just can't be helped, and when it does, you just have to put it behind you and move on."
"Have you ever done that before?" I asked.
"Yes, and I reacted exactly as you are now." He said. "Do you need some more?" He asked again and I shook my head vigorously. "Rose, you will be full before you manage to kill the next one."
"But what if I'm not?" I asked, worried.
"Then I will pull the person away from you." He said.
"Do you promise?"
"Yes." He said.
"Ok then." He brought a woman, who looked like she was in her early 30s, towards me. She looked even more terrified then the first one, but that's not surprising considering I killed him. I was more hesitant when I sank my teeth in to her neck, but I got distracted as soon as her blood hit my taste buds. I didn't know how much I had taken but I could tell that I didn't need any more. Although I did want more. I pulled away from her and blood was running down her neck.
"Run your tongue along the bite marks, it will heal it." Chris told me and I did as instructed. The women then stepped back and sat down with the others.
"How often will I need to feed?" I asked.
"For the first week you will need to feed twice a day, then the second week it will go down to once a day. When you get stronger you won't need to feed as often." He told me.
"What are we doing now?" I asked him.
"We're going for a run." He told me and I screwed up my face, that didn't sound very interesting. "Trust me; it will be more fun than you think." He led me out of the house and in to the woods. He was right about running, the speed made me feel free and forget that I had just killed a guy. For a little while anyway. We sped through the woods, dodging round trees with ease. Afterwards, we sat in a clearing, leaning against a tree. Chris' arms were wrapped around me and I relaxed against his chest. "Do you regret your decision to become a vampire?" Chris asked me.
"Considering I killed someone then I should. But no, I don't." I told him.
"I'm sorry about that, I should have known what your reaction would have been and stopped you." He said.
"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. I will just have to be more careful next time." I said and he smiled down at me. "I love you." I said to him.
"And I love you." He replied.
