Chapter 7
I woke up in the morning by a sharp pain shooting through my body. The pain coming from the bite wound on my neck. I gripped the blankets next to me and tried to hold back tears. Taking in short breaths and holding them. Then taking in another short breath.
Alex sat up and held me. I couldn't take it holding in my tears so I let them out. I sat up and leaned on him and wrapped my arms around him.
"Well. They told you it'll hurt for the next couple days." He said holding me tighter.
"How can I make it not hurt so much?" I said through my teeth.
Alex stayed quiet. Then bought his wrist to his mouth and bit it. Then put it to my mouth.
"This helps. My father told me that when you're in pain like this it's your body changing and the vampire side is killing, if you will, your human side. So the blood helps calm down the vampire side." Alex said as I wrapped my arm around his arm and drank from his wrist.
As he said, the pain dulled. Once it was enough to bear I let go of his wrist. I stared at his wrist, seeing my bite mark and his bite wound. Then it healed like it was never there.
"Wow." I said running my fingers over the skin of his wrist. I looked at him then back at his wrist.
Alex smiled and grabbed my wrist and kissed it. I blushed and started to ignore the dull pain. He smiled and I could feel his fangs graze against the skin of my wrist. I shivered, his smile widened. And he nipped at my wrist.
Then…my stomach growled. Thanks a lot. Way to mess up the moment. I blushed.
"Sorry I'm kinda hungry." I said blushing even more. He sat up and smiled at me again. Then got off the bed we were sleeping on and out the door. A few seconds later he came back with a plate of pancakes bacon and eggs.
"Time to eat for the human, soon to be vampire!" He said giving me the plate then going back out of the room and coming back with a glass of orange juice.
I said thank you and ate. Then after eating tried to get up and put the dishes away but the sharp pain shot through my legs so I fell down.
"Damn it!" I yelled frustrated. I punched the floor hurting my hand. Alex picked up the dishes and then disappeared and then reappeared.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, you won't be able to walk for the first day." Alex said picking me up and taking me to the bathroom. He set me on the sink and started the water.
I was picked up again and set on the edge of the tub. I looked up at Alex. Who had a light blush on his pale cheeks.
"Um. I'll be waiting out side until you're done. " He said walking out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
I stripped and then got into the tub, ignoring the pain in my legs. I washed then sat there. Enjoying the warmth, and the relief of the pain.
These next couple days are going to be hell…
There was a knock at the door and it ended up being his mother with clothes.
She smiled at me and set the clothes on the sink.
"You're actually lucky. The pain I had to go through made me want to die. How on earth did you get so lucky not to be in so much pain?" she asked more to herself then to me.
"Alex fed me his blood not to long ago. It dulled the pain but not all of it." I said staring at her. She's a truly beautiful, blue eyes and somehow, her hair was an albino blond. She has pale skin, and she wears a black dress with a black and blue corset.
"Hm…" She smiled.
"Little by little you're turning more into a vampire." She said.
"My daughter." She said the last part smiling and taking my hand.
I stared at her in shock.
She smiled even more.
" When Alex turns you, you're marrying him. That makes you my daughter in vampire law." She explained.
I smiled back.
"Mom." I said, but it only made me think of my real family.
Alex knocked on the door this time.
"Can I come in?" He asked.
His mother grabbed me my towel and helped me up. I wrapped the towel around me.
"Yes." I said sitting on the edge f the tub. I leaned back and drained the water then looked at Alex who was standing in the doorway talking to his mother.
She left with Alex. Leaving me alone again. I got dressed in a black dress. Nothing too special, just a nice long black dress.
I tried to stand up again and only stood up half way before a pain shot through my body again. I fell but then stood again and leaned on the walls.
I made it to the door and I opened it. Big whoop. Alex saw me and he picked me up and set me back down on the bed… where I crashed.
I woke up the next morning. Feeling much better. Not as much pain. And I feel strange…
Alex sat next to me watching me. He smiled.
"Only one more day." He said kissing me.
I nodded, glancing at his wrist. He saw and smiled again. Then as before bit his wrist and fed me. Once I was satisfied I let him go.
"Do you want some real food?" He asked.
I shook my head. Somehow I feel tired more then usual. Since I could walk again without being in pain I helped Alex's mom with cleaning and all that.
"So how do you feel?" She asked as I washed the dishes.
I shrugged. " Very tired. But not in pain." I said finishing up the dishes and wiping down the counters.
She smiled. "Again with, 'you're so lucky'." She said closing the cabinets.
"Hm." I smiled then went back to daydreaming.
"Hey, I have some clothes I want you to try on." She said grabbing my hand and pulling up the stairs into, I'm guessing, her room.
She let me go then disappeared into a HUGE walk in closet. Then She reappeared with lots of clothes in her arms.
She smiled and set them on her king sized bed. Then she started putting outfits together. I looked around her room.
Paintings lined the walls of places I've never seen before. I stopped at one painting of three beautiful people. Pale skinned red eyes, and fangs showing from their lips. Each with dark hair, but all looked different.
The one on the far left caught my eye. Then my eyes widened when I saw him…
"Alex…" I whispered touching his painted face with my fingers.
"Hey! I got some outfits for you to try on!" Mom said, I blinked then turned away from the picture of my love.
The first outfit I didn't like too much. It was a white dress with a pink and white corset. I liked the corset design but hated the color.
Also it just didn't feel right. I took that off and put on some black pants and a black and red-laced corset. (I like corsets as you could see)
I smiled liking the way it looked on me. I put the outfit on the bed in my new keep clothes pile.
A few more outfits and about ¼ of the clothes she wanted me to try on I kept. I looked back at he painting of the two strangers and my love in the corner.
"Um… mom? Who are those people in the painting over there with Alex?" I asked pointing at the painting. She glanced at it and she looked at me.
"Alex, Louis, Jonathan." She said.
"They are my sons. Louis and Jonathan… died. They were born human while Alex was born Vampire. Also they got sick early, Alex wasn't affected but they were." She looked down at her feet sadly.
"Mom… I'm sorry." I said hugging her. She wiped away her tears and smiled at me.
"It's ok I just wanted to get it all out." She said as she grabbed all my new clothes and putting them in a bag. Then handing it to me.
I smiled back at her. I left the room and went to Alex's room. Maybe I should ask Alex about his brothers…
