PART TWO

David watched Isis, wishing she would do something besides stare out the window. "It's almost dawn." He said finally, reaching out to place a hand on her shoulder.

Isis just stood up, not saying a word, no big surprise there.

Sighing he took her hand, leading her to the bedroom they shared. He ran a hand through his hair when she just stood by the bed, staring at the wall, her eyes blank. David shook his head, pulling out an extra large tee shirt and walking over to her. He wasn't surprised when she raised her arms and undressed her, his body going on auto-pilot, more than used to this after ten years.

Once she was in her pajamas David gently pushed her down onto the bed before stripping down and putting on a pair of black cotton pajama pants. He slipped under the blankets besides her, smiling when she turned and snuggled into his side. This was about the only thing she did on her own. He didn't know why she did it but he wasn't complaining.

Mark grinned down at Isis, running the pad of his thumb over her lips, his green eyes twinkling when she teasingly bit down on him. "I love you darlin'."

"I love you too." Isis whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He slowly lowered his head to her neck, kissing her skin before sinking his fangs into her throat.

Isis moaned softly, threading her fingers in his hair. She frowned when he didn't stop drinking from her, now taking long draughts. "Mark, that's enough." She said softly, her eyebrows drawing together. "Mark!"

Mark ignored her, holding her against him tightly.

"Beloved!" She gasped. "Stop!"

He drained her to the point of death before pulling away, smirking cruelly down at her, his emerald green eyes now blood red. "Die." He hissed, a massive hand wrapping around her neck.

Isis feebly tried to pry his hand away but didn't have the strength, bloody tears rolled down her cheeks. "Mark…" She whispered, the hatred in his eyes hurting her more than anything else ever could.

*****

David woke up to Isis crying. He frowned, trying to wake up. "Isis?" He whispered, wiping away the blood tears she was shedding.

Isis opened her eyes, staring up at him, blinking which only caused more tears to fall.

"What is it sweetheart?" He cooed, stroking her side.

Then, just like that, her eyes went blank.

David sighed heavily, laying back down, wondering why he had even bothered to get his hopes up.

*****

"Isis, I know you can hear me." David said patiently, staring into her blank eyes. "Come on sweetheart, you have to feed."

It had been three days since she woke him up crying, and she hadn't fed once since then. All she did was lie in bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Isis, snap out of it." He reached down to gently shake her. David groaned when he got no reaction. "You are NOT going to die on me." He said finally, moving off the bed. "I'll bring someone here if I have too." This was breaking one of his own personal rules, no feeding in the house, but he didn't care at the moment.

Isis didn't even blink.

*****

David returned with the victim, a man he had quickly located in the act of breaking and entering, plotting on killing a woman before robbing her. David wasted no time in knocking the man out and bringing him to Isis.

"Isis…" David bit gently into the man's throat, lowering the man down to her. He growled when she didn't move, reaching out to pry her mouth open.

Isis didn't move, the blood just pooled in her mouth, finally dribbling down her chin and the sides of her face.

"Damn it! Drink!" He growled.

After a very long moment she did.
