Chapter Three
Alice seemed to have a problem with fainting. It was an increasingly nasty habit that she had to stop, but for the time being, she had in fact fainted at the intense pain, and when she regained contousness; Fang-the redhead vampire from the bar- sat beside her bed with a book in his hands.
She remained down as if she was still asleep, although she was searching for something to smack him over the head with. Had she been thinking clearly at that moment, she would have realized that when she saw the candelabra on the end table by the bed- she couldn't get it. For two reasons: 1) because Fang was a vampire and vampires had exceptional sensory skills. 2) Even if she could knock him out, she couldn't go anywhere. Her legs were broken.
Bit by bit, she inched herself over to the side of the large bed. She cursed those vampires for making the bed seem so wide. Her legs ached with every little movement she made, and she had a feeling she'd get caught. It was too far for her to even have a hope of a decent escape.
Fang heard her moving, and gave her his gaze. She gave him an innocent smirk; trying to look as if she hadn't been thinking of smacking him over the head with a candelabra and making an escape. He put a bookmark in his book, all the while speaking to her.
"That was a pretty brainless move." Fang hissed at her seductively as he placed his book on the end table. "A fledgling like you trying an escape like that. You should have at least had a fear of dying left over from or mortality. Weren't you afraid a little?" She didn't move.
"I wasn't planning on falling out the window." She snapped back at him. "That Aldan guy scared me." Fang grinned, showing two tiny fangs in his mouth. Alice gulped hard; it had been so long since she was this close to a man as handsome as Fang- if she had ever been. Ronald was handsome in his day- but not like Fang. Fang had a timeless beauty about him; probably because he was a vampire.
"Aldan does that, don't mind him, he wouldn't hurt a fly." She felt him raise his icy hand and brush her hair out of her face. Quickly, she moved away from him, and thrust her right hand in front of his face. Her wedding ring glistened in the small amount of light in the room, and she was glad it did.
"Don't" She snapped. "I'm married. Besides that- even if I wasn't I'd never be into a man like you." But as angry as she sounded, Fang just laughed. He grabbed her hand, and slid her wedding ring off her finger.
"Until death," He said as he put the ring in the pockets in his pants. "You're dead Alice Fauna. She was speechless; he had such a damn good point.
She opened her mouth to say something more, to challenge his logic and to simply state that in all fairness, she hadn't had a funeral, nor was she six feet below ground. As far as she was concerned, she was not dead. But everything she'd planned to say was swallowed when Fang forcefully clasped her mouth with his. She didn't fight back at first, she was surprised. She actually kind of liked it- but immediately, she pushed him off her and spat.
"Don't do that!" She yelled at him as he was pushed away. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm not dead, nor am I a vampire. This is just some crazy dream and I'll wake up from it sooner or later." That was an even stupider thing to say to him, because he began to laugh again.
"You can't deny what you are now. You think this is a dream?" She slowly nodded, but just as she nodded he lifted her hand up off the bed and bit into her wrist. She screamed at the pain, and swatted her wrist away from him. He'd punctured two tiny holes in her wrist, and her crimson blood was leaking out of the holes. "Do you see now? You're a vampire, this isn't a dream, and you're dead to the world." Her face went whiter than any vampire's face could- which was surprisingly white. The dark circles around her eyes became darker, and slowly she began to sob. Fang just sat on the bed, watching her choke on the air she breathed, and as tears came down her face. "Stop you're howling, here, bite my wrist. It'll heal you're legs up faster." She shook her head, and tried to hide her sobs by crumbling into a feeble position. "Fine, stay in bed for six weeks. But you'll want to get some sleep when morning gets here. Hey! You can go stand out in the sun if you don't believe me, a little fledgling like you will burn up within seconds. That'll be a sight for the security cameras." But his cruelty made her sob harder.
Fang retired to his bedroom down the stairs. He was tired of her wailing, and knew that in due time she would accept that she'd been changed into a vampire and had to give up everything she loved. He had, and so have vampires before them. Vampires from before the dawn of time had learned to deal with it, and so would she.
Yeah, I know it's short. Huzzah for my one reviewer thus far! Omg, for my birthday I got the following: 2 nightmare before Christmas T-shirts, 2 Sweeny Todd posters, and 1 box of nightmare before Christmas stuffed animals. My friends are coming over on Saturday and I'll get presents from them later.
