Chapter 4: Love Bites
I ran to the bathroom and splashed my face with cold water. I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror in a bid to stop myself from shaking. I rummaged around in my bag for my emergency pills and swallowed a handful consisting of one of all six. When I felt myself calm down I turned to leave…only to run into Laito Sakamaki.
"Ne~ so this is where you ran off too little bitch," he teased, "I was wondering where the belle of the ball had gone. We miss looking at you already…you look simply delicious."
He was blushing the perv. I glared furiously at him and tried to sidestep him but I was trapped.
"This is the women's room, Sakamaki-san," I said, keeping all emotion out of my voice, "you're not supposed to be here."
"They don't care," he smirked, placing his hands on the sink behind me to effectively trap me between his arms, "My family owns this place, I can do as I please here."
"Why do I get the feeling you'd do that regardless?" I questioned.
He laughed, "Oh darling~ you know me so well."
I tried pushing him away as I replied with, "Do I need to throw another radio at your face in order to get you to leave me alone?"
He gave me a predatory look as he smirked, "Do that again and you'll just turn me on even more."
What happened in the next few minutes shocked me. One moment he was in my face, the next he was…biting my leg and sucking it. But it was too painful to be just a hickey. When I came to my senses I grabbed my purse and struck him across the head. Hard. He fell on his ass slightly dazed with blood dripping from his chin.
He licked his lips and his eyes lit up and began shaking, "This blood…it's…it's…the best I've ever had!"
I ran out of the bathroom and returned to the table, acting as if nothing had happened. And proceeded to finish the meal with Jin and Hikari. I looked at the Sakamaki table in the corner of my eye, there was that blonde-haired girl; Yui, sat with them, being taunted by them. She clearly hated her situation. They were…vampires. Why was I not more surprised or afraid? I could still feel the pain in my leg from where Laito bit me. I needed to get back at him somehow…
Looking at them I noticed Laito seemed a bit paler than usual. And I think I heard him say he was feeling sick. Was it the food? No, I felt fine. But they had different meals to us…then it clicked. The symptoms. They were similar to the side effects I felt when I first started taking my medication. I'd just taken some before he bit me! That's why I wasn't feeling their effects as much in my body!
An idea started to form in my head on the drive home…this should be good!
Authors note: Short chapter here because…well, the next chapter is in essence, a 'new point'. We'll be seeing some hints into darling Viktoria's past, albeit vague, and we'll even get another P.O.V change to Laito as well! Stay tuned, and feel free to send feedback!
