Healing Her

Hagi

Amshel knew it was pointless to stop me once I ran out of the limousine. I stormed through the front doors and more than likely flew towards my room. I only paused when my brother Solomon called out to me.

"Hagi!" He shouted to my back just as I was about to enter my room.

I stopped to glare at him with impatience. "Make it quick, brother. I need to take care of my mate."

His hand lifted to his mouth. "Good Gods!" He gasped. "What on earth have they done to her?"

I tried to stop myself from allowing tears to enter my eyes. "Crimes only you can imagine." And with that, I kicked my bedroom doors open. My powers slamming them back shut as I walked towards the bed.

With ease and complete care, I gently lowered Saya down to the mattress. Her fists clenched as soon as her back hit its softness.

"Saya?" I whispered. "Can you hear me?"

She moaned in response. She looked even worse than she did an hour ago. She couldn't even open her eyes. Her breathing had become shallow in the last hour.

I can't wait anymore. She needs to be fed now. Or else she'll…

I shook my head. I reached for the buttons of my jacket. Out of frustration I ripped the damn thing off, not caring where it landed. I hastily unclasped the first few buttons on my white shirt, baring my neck.

I stopped. She's too weak. I thought lowering my hands. She couldn't even lift her head up anymore. I had to give her my wrist. It was the only way.

I lifted my wrists to my mouth and bared my fangs. With a snarl, I bit deeply into my wrist. Being sure to puncture the vein. I quickly tore my mouth away and brought it to her.

As drops of blood fell on her lips, she didn't respond. Her pulse was beginning to get weaker. More faint. No. "Saya?" No response. Not even a twitch. "Saya, stay with me." Still no response. My frozen heart clenched. "Don't you die! I need you, Saya!" I took in a shuddering breath. "You can't leave me now, Saya! I love you!"

They came. The tears. For the first in my existence after over two hundred years…tears fell from my eyes. I sobbed as I roaring to the heavens. "Saya!" I stroked her hair with my other hand. "Please come back to me, my Saya." I whispered. "Please. I've waited too long to lose you now. Wake up."

Saya

I could feel my body getting weaker. My strength slowly leaving my limbs as Hagi held me in his arms. I guess this is it. I thought, letting the darkness consume me.

Then I heard a voice. And it was calling my name.

"Whose there?" I asked the darkness.

The voice started up again. It sounded…sad.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"…can't leave me now, Saya!" Huh? "I love you!"

Was that…Hagi? "Hagi! Where are you? I can't find you!" I started to reach out of the darkness. Looking for the surface.

"Please." He begged. "I've waited too long to lose you now."

I clawed my way out of the darkness. Trying to look for that voice. Reaching for it.

"Wake up." He said.

I did. And I failed to stop the roar that ripped from my throat as I latched onto something with the most enticing taste of all time.

Hagi

Saya's eyes flipped open. And with a loud snarl her mouth latched onto my wrist. Her fangs digging into my flesh as her hands held it still. I smiled and triumph as she took in mouthfuls of my blood into her body. Her hair falling over her shoulders as they rose and fell with every pull she made.

After a few good pulls she lifted her head from my wrist. Her long black hair framing her face as her gaze met mine. I froze. Some of the bruises had healed on her body. But a lot of the deep cuts still remained on her flesh. Her eyes had changed from their dark auburn into glowing red irises. It was beautiful. Like twin rubies staring right back at me.

But her eyes weren't looking at my face. No, they were gazing at my neck. She pilled her lips back, showing her pearly white fangs and hissed. Her tongue snaked out to lick those now blood red appendages.

Understanding what she wanted, I leaned back against my hands, baring my neck to her. An offering a male will only give to his mate. And she is mine.

I didn't flinch when she charged at me. Her arms wrapping around my body like a boa. One of her hands tangled her fingers into my hair as she kept my head still. Her other hand holding my shirt to the side as she sniffed my flesh. In the next moment, her tongue slipped out and gave a long stroke from my collarbone all the way up my neck.

I growled in approval and cradled her head in my hand. Urging her to get what she needed. With a shout of hunger, she dug her fangs into my neck. Directly into my jugular. I chuckled as I gave long smooth strokes to her hair. I slowly lied down, letting her crawl on top of my as her hair made a curtain above us.

I murmured words of love into her ear as she fed. She was like a greedy infant taking milk from its mother. This was similar in a way. It was always crucial for a newborn vampire to feed. For us born vampires, our birth mothers are fertile, thus making their bodies able to carry the nutrition's we need until we hit our transitions. When hit our transitions from ages eighteen to thirty-two, it is a necessity to feed on blood, so our bodies will grow accustomed to our new and improved senses. We can only feed from humans and animals.

Turned vampires are almost similar. When a vampire turns a human, there is more to it than just biting. What happens is a vampire will bite the human on the neck, draining them of almost all of their blood. Then the vampire will then open a vein, and then have the human feed from them. Returning their blood to them. They will remain unconscious for at least ten hours at the most. When they awaken as a vampire, they need to feed almost immediately. Or else they'll go into a blood frenzy and kill anything in their sight.

Now I don't know much about half-breeds. Saya and Diva are the first ones I have ever come across so far. There has been some record of other half-breeds in the world. Where they were now, I had no idea. But since my blood sufficed, it appears that half-vampires can feed on humans, animals, and vampires.

Which will be good for Saya. How she chooses to feed is her choice. But I prefer that she fed from me. Not just because I'm possessive. But because I rather like the idea of having her feed from me when she needed to. I loved the idea that I could provide for her. And the feel of her fangs inside my neck was the most arousing thing I have ever felt in my existence. Maybe if I'm lucky, she'll let me feed from her.

We stayed there for about five more minutes before she pulled away from my neck. She took long intakes of breath. Her whole body shook as she held herself up by her arms. One by one, all of her deep cuts and bruises began to heal themselves. Leaving her skin in the beauty it should always be in. Her glowing red eyes dimmed back to their normal auburn color. She was staring down at me with worry. She eyed the wound on my neck before letting a tear leave her eye.

"Oh, Hagi," she whimpered. "I hurt you." She lifted her finger to touch the fang marks. "What have I done−"

She gasped. I knew why. I felt the tingling begin on my neck as soon as she pulled away. The skin where she had bitten me was beginning to knit back together into place. Once it was completely closed, I smiled and reached my hand up to cup her cheek. "I heal very easily Saya." I stroked her tear away with my thumb. I allowed my fingers to linger on her face. "You're all healed now too."

She sniffled with a smile and held the hand that stroked her face. "I can't believe you're really here."

I leaned up slowly so that I could pull her into my lap, and encircle her in my arms. I tucked her head under my chin as I rubbed her arms. "You're safe now, Saya." I said. "You don't have to worry about them anymore. They will pay for what they did to you." I kissed her hair.

She pulled away slightly, so she could look at me. Slowly, she reached up one of her hands towards my mouth. Her index finger reached inside my mouth, to touch my fangs. I opened my mouth wider to give her more access. She gazed at me in wonder as she studied my fangs with her finger.

She then pulled away to feel for her own fangs. Her eyes widened when she found them. "I didn't know I had any." She said with surprise.

I chuckled taking her hand in mine to kiss her fingertips. "That's not surprising. You've never had bloodlust before." I tapped her on the nose with my finger. Then slowly let it trail down her cheek, across her chin and then rested it on her lips.

Some of my blood remained on her lips. I growled as I watched some drip down her chin. I cradled her face in my hands. Her eyes widened as I leaned in close to her face.

"Hagi?" She asked while a blush flooded her cheeks. "What are you doing?"

I smiled. "Shh." I was just at her mouth now. Without any words I slipped my tongue out and licked the drop of blood away. I pressed a kiss to the corner of her mouth. "I couldn't resist." I whispered. "I am a vampire after all."

She blushed deeper. "I need to know something, Hagi."

I stroked her cheek. "Yes?"

She sighed. "I need to know." My look encouraged her. "Why do you love me?"

I blinked in surprise. "Why?"

She nodded. "I'm a half-breed." She fiddled with her fingers. "And you're a pureblood. How can you love someone like me?"

I pulled her to me. "My heart calls to you, Saya. From that first moment that I dreamt of you. I had been living the boring life of a pureblood prince for two hundred and thirty eight years. My whole life I thought I was happy like any other royal could be. I knew all languages, studied history and mythology. I thought life couldn't be any better. Then you entered my dreams. When I first dreamt of you, I finally found what I had been searching for."

She blinked up at me. "When did you first dream of me?"

I sighed. "The night of your birth."

She gasped. "What? How did you…?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, Saya. It just happened. My soul had been awaiting yours for centuries. When you were born, your soul called out to mine. That is just a theory. But I knew that you were destined to become my mate." I removed a hair from her face. "My heart yearned for you, Saya. And I have been waiting patiently all these years to make you mine." I kissed her forehead. "And to finally hold you in my arms…I have never been more happier."

She sniffled. "I thought I was going to be alone forever. After my parents died, I was all alone. My aunt hated me. And she turned my own sister against me. I was all by myself. And I was going to be sold to that man!" Her shoulders shook with new sobs. "I'll never forget his voice! It was filled with so much…evil."

I hid her face in my chest. "Do you know what he looked like? Or his name?"

She shook her head. "No, I don't. I just heard him talking to my aunt in her room." She shivered. "What is wrong with me, Hagi? Am I really that repulsive? She said that I was tainted. Is that true?"

"Never!" I said holding her tighter. "There is nothing tainted about you, Saya. I don't think that there is anything on this earth that could make you tainted."

Her breath shook. "Really?"

I nodded. "Yes." I checked the time. Only eleven-o-clock. Meaning there was another nine hours before sunrise. "Would you like to take a nice hot shower?"

She leaned away from me and nodded. "Yes please." She untangled herself from my arms as we stood up from my bed.

I walked towards my bathroom but paused when I saw she was about to leave. "Where are you going?" I asked as she reached the door.

She looked at me, confused. "You said I was going to take a shower."

I nodded. "I did. But why are you leaving?"

She blinked. "I was going to go to the servant's courters."

My eyes widened in understanding. "Oh, Saya." I murmured. "You are no longer a slave. More or a less a slave in your own home. You are my mate intended. You don't need to go to the servant's courters for anything anymore."

She looked down. "So where will I wash?"

I smiled and opened the door to my bathroom. "You will wash here. In my bathroom."

She blushed. "Is that alright?"

I chuckled. "It's only natural that you use mine." I walked over to her and took her hand in mine. "You'll be staying with me in this room."

Her blush only deepened. "With you? As in…this will be our room? And you and I will be sleeping together."

I nodded. "You are my mate intended after all." I kissed her hand. "But if you aren't ready to share a room with me, I can have one of our guest rooms readied for you. We have more than enough." I brought her hand to my cheek. "I don't want you to feel rushed, Saya."

She nodded. "I will wash here." She sighed. "But I would rather I have my own room." Her head bounced up. "But just for a little while, Hagi! Its not that I−"

"Shh!" I pressed a finger to her lips. "Just as I said, Saya, I don't want you to feel rushed." I gestured towards the bathroom. "Go wash yourself up. I'll have one of the rooms ready for you while you're in there. Alright?"

She hung her head in shame. "I'm sorry, Hagi."

I shook my head. "Don't be. It's only natural that you want your privacy." I brought my lips to her ear. "But once you are ready, make sure that I am the first to know. Yes?"

Her blush returned but she nodded. After I gave another kiss to her forehead, she excused herself to the bathroom.

"I'll have someone bring you up some clothes, Saya." I said to the closed door. "You don't worry about a thing." I then left her to her privacy.

I walked out of the room and was greeted with Karl.

"Hagi." He said.

I nodded. "Karl."

He looked at the door behind me, "Is she…?"

I sighed in exhaustion. "She's fine now."

He eyed my bloody shirt. "And you?"

I smirked. "Never better, my brother." I gestured towards him. "Could you have someone come up here and bring her some clothes?"

He nodded. "I can indeed."

"Thank you. I'm going to bring up some food for her. Then I am going to see about having a room ready for her."

He blinked in surprise. "You're not having her stay with you?"

I shook my head. "Not yet."

He rolled his eyes. "I thought she was your mate intended. What's wrong? Too scared?"

I growled. "She has just had her world changed entirely overnight. She's not ready to share a room with me. It's only natural. I've waited eighteen years to finally have her with me. I can wait longer when she's ready to share the same room with me. I won't rush her."

He sighed. "Have it your way. Were she mine, I'd have already taken her to bed."

I bared my fangs and hissed. "I will do no such thing until she is ready." I smirked. "If she was to be your mate, you would have to have had a proper mating ceremony first. And that is what I plan to do with Saya. Once she is ready."

He grumbled. "Never stopped you from sleeping with the servants."

"Or you." I shot back. "And you know how I'm not so fond about that. Why do you think I became celibate?"

"Because of Saya." He said.

"Yes. As soon as she was born, I refused to be unfaithful to her."

He ran a hand through his long hair. "You weren't even in a relationship with her. How would you be unfaithful?"

I shook my head at him. "You know that when a vampire's soul calls out to another, he will have found his mate. When I had that dream of Saya all eighteen years ago, I knew she was meant to be mine." My look turned into a glare. "I suggest that you keep my past misgivings to yourself from now on. Especially when Saya is present. Understood?"

He blinked in surprise. "Wow. You really have fallen for her haven't you?"

I smiled. "From the moment I laid eyes on her."
