Chapter Two: the new sensations

Ow…My head is spinning!

I blinked once, twice as the world finally came into focus. Then closed them just to think. My head really hurt. As if I had too much alcohol last night with a friend and still have the fuzziness. But instead, my brain is sober and clear like a knife ready to kill.

I had been wrong then, from the first tingle of sensations, I knew immediately that this is what I meant to be, my destiny: a strigoi. I can't believe that I once thought strigoi are evil creature of the night, heartless, vicious, unnatural organisms. That brought a lopsided grin to my mouth. Well, right now, I feel like the best thing ever. Nothing matters in my past life now: Adrian, my Mom, even Lissa means no more than a dust; surely they can live without me! They shouldn't exist anyway. My heart hardened. All that I'm focusing now is my eternal life with my love, Dimitri.

I put a shaky hand above my heart, and felt the steady, regular heartbeat seeping through. I can't help but let out a care free giggle.

I felt someone move in front of me in less than a second. In response to my vampire senses, I shot out of my covers, ready to strike, glowering at the shadow in front of me.

"Roza." His voice sounded like music in my ears, just the kind I like the best. I loosened my guard and focused on him. My new eye sight scares me. I cannot believe how well I can see now: to be able to precisely distinguish even the smallest details of his god like features. "You are awake." He smiled.

I once again looked over his body hungrily, absorbing that silk soft hair that curls around his chin. That muscular build which fits him so well. He's mine now. Nothing will change that.

"Hello, Dimitri." I said simply. "You look…handsome."

"As always?" we both chuckled with our little joke. He then bends down to kiss me: fire shoots through my veins and my undead body came alive. Our little kiss turned into a fierce make out session. Our tongues tangled and danced with each other in pure love. My blood sung in happiness and his hand explored my body: just like in the cabin.

We finally made it to bed.

Eagerly, I let my hands rip through his cotton dress shirt, finding those smooth pecs and spreading my finger around his soft hair. His lips trailed from my lip to my shoulder while I return little love bites as well, until my new fangs accidentally pierced his smooth skin did I really feel it.

I stopped whatever I was doing when a flood of thirst overwhelmed me. It's nothing like the French fries and burgers hunger, but really, just thirst: dryness.

"What's wrong?" he asked, sensing my change of mood.

I looked at him apologetically, climbed down from his lap and gave him a swift kiss.

"Thirst?" he said lightly and gets up too, I nodded and regarded with raised eyebrows as he gave me a smirk at his torn shirt and shook his head. Bare chested, he walked next to the TV and pulled out a clean black shirt below it.

"Really? There?" I asked playfully with a hint of smile.

"Why not?" he tossed it over his head and gestured me to follow him toward the door.

"Where are we going?" I asked as darkness flowed around me, my sharpened senses can detect every bird's claw's movement, and the tiniest rustle of leaves.

"Somewhere." I can hear the smile in his voice; I can't help but just follow my dear comrade.

As we got closer and closer, I began to smell it. A lovely smell it is. Better than bacon, better than cake. It's the smell of human blood calling out to me.

"Why are there people so far away from civilization?" I couldn't help but ask.

"camping." He said with a small wink.

Soon, torchlight appeared in the endless woods, it's quite surprising that we did not encounter any other strigoi, but now, the smell is so strong that it's becoming unbearable.

I almost lost my self control when I first spotted them. I rushed forward, fangs bared and growling, toward the little figure that's probably unaware of the danger. What a pity.

"Slow. Grasshopper." Dimitri's hand snaked across my back before I can do any damage to my buffet." we need to lure her over first."

"Her?

"Trust me, I know." With that, he strides forward and began talking to "her". I've got to admit, he towers above almost everyone. 5 minutes later, his magic words made her come toward me, my mouth began to water.

"All yours." He gestured. I hesitated and began moving awkwardly.

The girl, about my age, black hair and dark eyes looked at me weirdly and her brows knit together. "Do you need my help or….?"

"Agh!" I let out a call in frustration and then distinct kicks in, I lunged at her. With my super natural speed and everything, she was knocked flat before her brain could even process the options. Before she could scream or do anything else, I sank my teeth in her neck; a swarm of hot, sweet liquid filled my mouth. She let out a blissful sigh. It's like nectar to a humming bird; you can never get tired of drinking this delicious thing. I drank and drank greedily, and felt the power transfer into me as life vanishes within her. I loved it. I drank her dry, and she fell on the floor like a lifeless doll—well that's basically what she is now. I stood up and licked the blood off my lips in satisfaction and turned around to Dimitri's. Who was looking at my clumsy feasting?

"Shall we go?" I asked politely.

"Absolutely."

When we got back, it's already middle of a vampire day. I lay back in my new bed with a book on my lap. While dimitri does some work with Nathan and Galina. Then someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" I called

"me." Music answers back.

"Come in." I chirped.

His eyes darkened when he saw my dress. I couldn't help but smirk as he made his way to me and lovingly gazed at my face.

"Oh Roza."

Then he started to kiss me with passion

One to Hathaway!
