Chapter 8: When We Fight, We Touch
Tatyana POV
I walked into the safety of the trees before they could begin thanking me or something. They owed me nothing. I reached into my pocket where my Zune was still playing and shut it off. I didn't want the battery to die,...or anyone else to sneak up on me. "Those human children could have killed you..." "Yeah, I know, that's why I gave them a lecture and money..." I answered without thinking. "Who was that?" I shouted, looking around. "You can hear me?" "Yeah. I don't think I'd be talking to myself out loud. Show yourself." "Look down." I did and Thorn's blue eyes sparkled at me. "You expect me to believe a dog is talking to me? Through his mind or something?" Thorn gave me what looked like a blank stare. "I am a hell hound. I come with powers, you know. One of them is telepathy with my master." I blinked at Thorn for a moment and then leaned against the nearest tree. Putting my head in my hands and groaned, I began questioning my sanity. "Why all of a sudden can I hear you? Why not speak before now?" "Your mind blocks me. I had the same issue with Angel, but it's fixed now. You, I have been around the least so I suppose I have not had very man chances to get your mind used to my pushes. But you can hear me clearly now, that is all that matters. We should continue walking to the cave."
Thorn used his teeth to tug on my sleeve, so I got up and followed. The questions floating in my head were both normal ones, along the lines of 'what else can you do?' and stupid ones, 'why do you still lick yourself, if you're a demon?'. "Don't worry about things too much. Everything can be explained after you are safe in the boy's cave." I nodded and followed the map I could see in my mind. 'My sense of direction stinks. How is it that there is a detailed map in my head?' I thought to myself. "I can send you information through our link." Thorn didn't even look back at me as he trotted in front of me. "Private space, dude. Demon dog or not, you have to respect that much." "Your mind is now open to me, I didn't force or push against your mind's walls. They opened for me and I couldn't pull out even if you weren't my master. Our minds are too imbedded into each other."
I glared at the white dog. "So you can talk to me and Angel. Anyone else?" Thorn started walking towards the direction of the cave, I followed beside him. "Just you two so far. I have not spoken to David or the other vampires, or the rest of your human companions, even though I am connected to them." I nodded. "Most likely you'll be able to worm into their heads soon. Great...we're all crazy." I heard his soft laughter in my head and the rest of our walk was silent.

We walked in through the stair entrance and saw everyone. It looked like they'd been waiting for me for a while. 'Looks like we took a bit too long...' I whispered in my mind. "You think?" Thorns sarcastic remark had me glaring at the retreating hound.
~Page Break~
Tatyana walked down the uneven entrance like there wasn't a group of nervous people waiting for her and completely forgot that there was an unknown vampire running around the town. Zulai was a little peeved that her friend seemed to have forgotten all of what happened earlier this night. "Ta, where have you been?" the girl asked, hands on her hips, giving a slight glare at her best friend. "What? I got lost. It happens. Even in New York. You know me." she replied. "Did anything happen to you?" Tatyana answered, not wanting to admit running into those kids, she just said "Nope. Everything was just fine. I got mixed up in the woods. Trees have this nasty tendency to look just like the last one." She set her bag down under the small table, not really looking at her friend. 'I never could really lie to the girl. She won't catch me-' "What happened, Tatyana?" Zulai's question made her look at the girl, cutting her line of thought. "I told you. Nothing happened. What makes you think something did?" Tatyana straightened slowly, looking ready to either fight or fly. "I know when you're lying. Let's not make this harder than it has to be." Tatyana frowned at her friend. "I don't like the tone you're taking with me. If I say nothing fucking happened, then nothing fucking happened." "I'm just trying to fucking give a shit about your ass. You don't want to tell me what happened while you were out in the middle of fucking west bubble fuck, then fine. Don't." both girls glared at each other for a heartbeat then grabbed their things and headed in opposite directions, to the rooms they would sleep in.
David looked at Guadalupe after the girls stormed out. "What just happened?" the girl shook her head. "It happens sometimes, they both are so close they can almost read each other's minds and emotions. Most likely something big happened while she was on her way here and she didn't want to talk about it." getting up, she picked up her bag and said goodnight to Shannon and Angel and the others and walked to David's room, him following behind. "But why fight?" he asked when they reached his space, moving aside the fabric door for her. "She bottles too much and it becomes physically painful, think sensory overload. Like at the hotel, when she had that headache. It manifests in different ways depending on what the problem is.
More often than not, Zulai is the one who gets her to empty the metaphorical trashcan. As to why they yelled at each other; they both hate fighting. Fist fights anyways, Tatyana has always been a word type person, but she can hold her own with a full grown man if need be. Zulai would have no chance if she got into it with her, and I think they both know it." Lupe shrugged, sitting down on the large bed, David leaning on the post, looking at the sight of her on his bed again. "So they would never really hurt each other then?" Lupe shook her head. "Tatyana said that the day she hits any of us in anger, would be the day she kills herself." Lupe took a glance at the vampire standing next to her. She'd noticed the way he looked at her most of the time. Almost four days ago, they had entered this world and met the Lost Boys, a group of rebel vampires. Whose motto was 'sleep all day, party all night'. She'd also seen the way he had looked at her after they had gotten cleaned up in that hotel room. He'd looked like he been star struck. But they'd had yet to even kiss. She started getting nervous when all he did was stare at her like she was the answer to the meaning of life itself, like she was so interesting. "Um... I think I'll just go get changed for the night..." she said quietly and slipped past him, clutching her bag to her, going to the small area he had set up in a corner of his room so that she could feel free to change in. It had a sheet covering so she didn't have to go out into the cave system and get lost or run into one of the other boys while half naked.
As she passed him, David breathed in and the smell of lilies made his pants tighten. As she changed clothes, he growled deep in his chest. He was going to get her this night and enjoy her until the sun went back down. When she came out dressed in a white cotton shirt, four sizes too big and a pair of pajama pants, the word 'virgin' flashed in his head. 'Damn... I forgot she's... just my luck...' he rubbed a gloved hand over his face. Turning back the bedspread, he motioned for her to get in.
After getting into the warm bed, Lupe asked David "Where are you going to sleep?" he smirked and sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned in close. "Right beside you. But I have a few things to do first," he pointed over to his small work station, he'd set up an easel and a few paints and brushes earlier in the night. David got up, took off both of his coats and removed his gloves, the only time he did was when he painted. He walked over to his easel and picked up a brush. Lupe fell asleep watching him paint from her warm spot in the bed. David looked up from his half-finished painting, over to its subject. He'd been painting Guadalupe in the bed, sleeping as she was. Since most of the candles and lanterns that were lit were near the bed, he had a good view of her face and its serene look.

Zulai POV
To say I was pissed was questionable. I wasn't all that mad. Really. Just because Tatyana didn't want to confide in me, her best friend didn't make me upset in the very least. No, what made me mad was the fact that she wouldn't apologize for yelling at me. That damn bitch... we rarely fight, I mean really fight. And we never have gotten physical, but right now I just want to kick her ass with a lead pipe. Make her bleed. I looked through my bag and brought out my phone and headphones. I turned my cell on, still had almost a full bar. After the first day, I figured I should save my battery. Now, I just wanted some tunes to calm down to. Scrolling down my playlist, I chose the song I was currently in love with, a techno song by some band. As the song started I found myself swaying to its beat, my hips taking on a mind of its own, twisting in turn to the sounds coming from my ears. I didn't notice anyone walking in.
Marko POV
I stood by the doorway, watching the slow hypnotic swaying of her body, she was off in a world of her own, small buds were in her ears, feeding her the music that made her calm. I couldn't help but stare at her ass, the jeans she wore were tight enough to see she didn't have on any undies. Something we had in common, I hated underwear, since it got in the way and tended to need replacing most often. She still hadn't noticed me, so I moved from the doorway to the bed, not taking my eyes off her. I could do nothing but watch her dance, like I was a slave. I shrugged out of my coat and walked to stand behind her, her heat brushing across my skin. I slowly wrapped an arm around her waist, keeping in time to the strange beats I could now hear coming out of her ears. She jumped and pulled one of the ear buds out, turning her head to face me. "Oh, it's you, Marko. You shouldn't sneak up on people like that. You nearly gave me a heart attack." I pressed her to my front and put my chin on her shoulder, bringing both arms to tighten around her middle. "You're upset. I can feel it." I said softly, still swaying slightly to the different song now playing. A slow beat, calmer than the one before. She leaned her head back, onto my other shoulder and sighed. "Yeah, but most likely Taty will apologize and tell me what happened. She'll feel bad and make it up. It's just I hate that she doesn't trust me enough to tell me things without worrying how I'll react to them, she never has and never will. That's what makes me mad." I nodded, I get that way with the boys sometimes too, its happens to even the closest of friends. Nuzzling her throat, I could feel her pulse, beating strongly against my lips, my fangs inching down to scratch against the smooth golden sin there. "Well, until your friend comes to her senses, how about we get more in touch with our own?"
While kissing her neck, I move the shoulder of her shirt to the side, revealing more golden skin waiting for me to taste. My fingers moving under her shirt, softly tracing the curved line from her pants top to her bellybutton and back down, her breath starting to come in pants. "What do you say?" she pulls herself out of my arms and spun to face me. Her face was slightly flushed and her eyes nearly black. She took her phone out of her pocket and pressed some buttons before tossing it to the side, it landed on her book bag safely. I looked at her. "What? I thought you want this?" she said, taking the hem of her shirt, she pulled the fabric over her head and threw it to the side, walking towards me slowly, she started to unbutton her pants. I think my smile may have come out a bit feral, because she hesitated. "Hell yeah!" I said, pulling off my own shirt and kicking off my boots, my pants following. When I finished, she was lying on my bed, naked and spread out like an offering. "You sure you want to do this?" she sat up and put her hands around my neck, drawing me down on top of her. "I want to do all this..." she whispered darkly into my ear, one of her hands leaving my neck to smooth down and grab my ass, squeezing gently and pulling me closer, she kissed my lips. "Now." I could feel her wetness against my shaft, her body's pulses. I wanted to bury myself to the hilt and never leave.
A question entered my mind as I pulsed hard. "Are you a virgin?" "No. Why?" a part of me was relived, but another wanted to be her first. "Just asking." I shook my head and reached down between our hot bodies to position myself at her entrance. I started pushing in, meeting a tight resistance, her sheath throbbing and milking me as I inch deeper and deeper inside her. "Stop!" her gasp made me open eyes I hadn't realized I'd closed. "What's wrong?" "I've only done it once, and that was a very long time ago. Just wait a second." she squeezed around me again and I pushed in a little deeper. So that was why she was this tight. The other boy most likely wasn't as big as him. My cock got harder at the thought of me being better than her first. I leaned down, pressing inside more. "Am I bigger than him? Do I fill you more?" her breaths were short pants, but she answered. "Much bigger." she arched her back, taking more of me in and I met the end of her. I was fully seated inside and her hot little snatch was sucking me so tight I thought I'd bust if I moved.
She still had on her bra. I'd forgotten to remove it before entering her. I reached around to the back and fumbled for a few seconds, but I was getting impatient, I leaned down and bit through the fabric of the bra, letting loose her breasts, the nipples a golden hue, and hard against my palm. She took a deep breath in and I took in a gulp of unneeded air, breathing in her spicy scent of arousal. I squeezed one breast, lifting it to my mouth and I pull out slowly. I ran my tongue around the puckered areola, I looked up at her; her head was tossed to the side, her body flushed and had a fine coating of sweat. I moved to the other side, giving it the same treatment as its twin. My hips gave a sharp thrust, her body arched, her hands going to mine, nails pressing into my skin. I growled, started pounding into her. "More... Yes, just like that..." my fangs dropped down fully, as I thrusted into her wetness, I let myself go, biting her golden neck. Hot blood flowed into my mouth, sweet, strong. I felt her coming around me and I eased up. She was gripping tighter than she was when I had first entered her. I stilled, rising up on my arms, leaving my lower half cradled between her thighs.
She collapsed, her breathing ragged. I smiled down at her. "Oh trust me, babe. We are nowhere near finished." she weakly raised an eyebrow? "There's more?" I pulled out, her sheath rippling around me, trying to pull me back in. Her body shivered and mine responded. "Turn around and hold on to the railing." she gave me a questioning look. I kissed her red lips to reassure her. "Trust me, Z." she turned and gripped the metal bar that made up the skeleton of the headboard. I took a moment to admire the ass in front of me. The curve of her spine dipped, small indents on her wide hips like little grooves for my fingers. Her back had a few scars, from an active childhood well lived. I ran my fingers up and down along her spine. She arched into my touch, her skin heating. I gripped her thighs and reentered in one hard thrust. Her breath froze in her throat, my thrusts bowing her back and banging the bed against the wall. On a particularly hard one, she bucked and her back came up against my back, my hands instantly cupped her breasts, keeping her moving.
I was in heaven, and her name was Zulai. She was deliciously tight around me, milking, pulling, and coming. Growling, I bit into her throat again, drawing out more blood, marking her as mine. I went in one final time and exploded, flooding her with my seed, she came moments later. Making us both bend and quake and sink down to the bed. I rolled to my side, bringing Zulai with me, staying inside her. "Nice..." I laughed at the sound of her voice, I'd tired her out. "There is still more to do. More positions...Mmm. Many more." I said into her ear. She laughed. "You're going to kill me. I'm only human and I still need rest." she breathed out a sigh. "Do you regret doing this?" her fingers twined with mine. "What? No. It's just that this whole thing with Tatyana is still bugging me. I don't know what got to her... It must have been bad for her to become so defensive." I licked the bite I left on her shoulder while she spoke, closing the bites. "Stop worrying over it. You are best friends, almost closer than blood. Things will turn out for the best. You should get some sleep, human. I plan on keeping you up for a while still." she chuckled softly and pulled the blankets up to cover us. "Whatever you say, vampire." I listened to her heart and breathing as she fell into a light slumber, I felt the sun rising, the meal I had couldn't keep me up for much longer, but I could always wake before sunset. That was the easy part, I'd still be able to move about, but the danger to Zulai and the other humans, we all would. None of us had fed like we normally did before these humans stepped into our lives; that was about two or three feedings a night, sometimes more. I pushed the thoughts out of my head; I wanted to feel good for a little while longer. I closed my eyes and waited for my sleep.
Shannon watched the interaction between the best friends with a sad face. When they stormed off to the boys' rooms. Lupe left with David and Marko had walked after Zulai. "Do they fight like that very often?" Dwayne stood up, looking in the direction of his room. Thorn got up from the small bed in the corner of the main area, Star's old bed and trotted outside, to who knew where. Angel looked at the dog then answered Dwayne's question. "No, not often, but when they do fight, it can last for days or hours or as long as it takes for them to crack." Angel stood up and stretched, Dwayne turned to the boy. "This is your fault. You made it so that she'd walk alone." Angel narrowed his gaze on the vampire. "Me making her walk with Thorn made it so she wasn't alone with someone who couldn't protect her. Thorn has much more power then you realize." "What do you mean?" Shannon looked at her tall friend from her seat next to Paul. She leaned forward. "Angel. What do you mean Thorn has power?" Angel looked from Dwayne to her. "He is a hell hound and he can talk. Through my mind." The last part he said looking away.
Paul laughed. "So the dog talked in your head? You sure you didn't imagine the whole thing?" At that moment Thorn walked into the cave. "Angel. Can you still hear me?" "Of course. I'm trying to tell them that you would have protected Tatyana had something bad happened. Would you?" they watched the dog stop at the opening of the cave, then continue until he was in front of them all. "Can anyone else hear me? Ask them." "He wants to know if anyone else can hear him." Angel looked around, then back to Thorn. "Guess not. Tell me what happened." after a few minutes, Angel cursed and ran his hand through his short hair. "Thorn says she was jumped and held at knife point by a group of human teens. They were going to rob her but she spoke to them and they got spooked. But she ended up giving them money as well as a place to go for shelter." a pause. "She told them to- Thorn says not to tell you." Angel looked up at them. "He says you're thinking of looking for the kids and killing them." Paul sighed and stood up. "Well, in that, he's right, Dwayne here would be the first to get there. So he talks to you. Why can't we hear him?" "I have no connection to them. With Max gone, there is no line to them and with Tatyana being my new master, tying me to this realm, to you all; they do not fit into the equation." Angel relayed his message. "So then, he can only speak to you guys. Why can't Shannon or Lupe or Zulai hear him?" Paul asked. "Can Tatyana hear him?" said Dwayne. They all looked at the white dog. He nodded his head, choosing to let them know he understood them. "Damn... did she find out while she was walking here?" Shannon asked Thorn. She could hear a faint "Yes" in her head. Her eyes widened. Thorn tilted his head to the side. "Can you hear me, girl?" "Oh my god. No way! I can hear you!" Paul looked at the girl sitting down his side. "Prove it. What did Dwayne plan on doing to those kids?" Shannon looked at Thorn, then to Dwayne. "You were going to cut out their tongues and drain them dry. Take them and drop them into the ocean, where the sharks are known to coast. Even if the bodies somehow managed to get to shore, they would think the fell off a boat or something and got eaten by sharks." Dwayne looked at Thorn. "So you can hear him, and he can read our thoughts." "Not all of them," Angel said. "Just the loudest ones. He also said not to do what you're thinking now. You'll make it worse if either one of them know that any of us know." he grabbed his things and went to his room. "You have not seen them mad. That little show before wasn't even the tip of the iceberg." he disappeared down the tunnel to his room.
~Page Break~
Shannon watched as Thorn followed behind Angel, they could hear the boy cursing at the dog. "That was interesting..." she stood up and stretched her arms above her head and turned to Dwayne. "If you want to convince her to tell you, go ahead and try. She always tells Zulai everything first. So good luck with that." she turned and walked to the room she shared with Paul. When she was out of human hearing, Paul stood next to his pack brother. "What do you plan on doing?" Dwayne ran his hands through his hair. "I don't like that these humans are changing us so much and so quickly. It seems like there's more to what's going on between all of us than the fact that we normally wouldn't look at these kids as anything more than a quick meal." Paul nodded, his hands going into his pocket, fingering the coin he'd found earlier. He was going to give it to Shannon but he didn't know when the right time was, and with what Dwayne just said, how could he be sure that he actually liked her and that it wasn't the same kind of magic that had brought them to this world. "I just know that we have them now. Let's just have fun for now. Go to her, I'll go to mine." Paul turned around and sped to his room.
Paul POV
When I walked into my room, I found Shannon on the bed, she'd pushed almost all of the pillows off and onto a rug she pulled to the foot of the bed. She was sitting cross-legged, bending over something. As I walked closer, I noticed she was sewing up one of my shirts from when I had fed last night. The man had tried to pull him off when he'd been feeding. Shannon was sewing the rip, like a girlfriend would. This was becoming too weird...
"What the hell are you doing?" she cursed and jumped. "What the hell! You don't sneak up on people with sharp things in their hands!" she turned around to where he could see that it was one of his ripped shirts, but she wasn't sewing it, she was making more tears. I smirked at her. "What are you doing with my shirt?" she stood up and dropped the knife on the bed and held up the shirt. I watched as she took off her own shirt, which left her in a thin tank top. She pulled my shirt over her head and arranged the destroyed shirt so that one blood stained shoulder was hanging on the side of her arm, the other shoulder was on and had a long dark red streak going across the front. I made a motion for her to turn around and she did. The back had the newer rips as well as some strange blood splatters. When she faced me again, she smiled. "Well what do you think?" "You do know that thing is covered in blood right?" I fingered the giant blood spot on the ripped collar of the shirt. "I know, but I did try to wash it. I had taken it by accident when we left. So at least it's clean." I nodded and pulled at the hem.
"Take it off." she raised her eyebrow. "Yeah. I said it. Take this off." she pulled the shirt off and tossed it onto her bag in the corner by the bed. "Anything else I can do for you, great sir?" I chuckled lightly. "Great." I crowded her space, pushing her closer to the bed. "Now I have my very own slave... Such a pretty one too." I looked in her eyes to see if she would play along, the playful light in her eyes told him she was game. I licked up the side of her neck. "So tasty. Will you play with me, my pretty little slave?" she tilted her head away, her face thoughtful. "This will be fun."
She stepped back from me, her hands by her side. "What would you have me do?" I bit my lip, she looked so delicious standing there in just a small tank and a pair of small shorts. "How about calling me master?" I didn't want to push it too far. "Alright. Master." my pants felt tight, really tight. "Undress. Slowly." she turned me and pushed me down onto the bed, so I was sitting up for her show. "Yes, master." her striptease started with the tank; slowly, she inched it up, her beautiful bellybutton showed, a fresh piercing with a star at the center, five points going through the skin and forming a golden circle. Her bra was a barely there scrap of red lace, leaving nothing to imagination but what the skin beneath it tasted like. I fingered the soft material. "Nice. This from your world?" nodding she reached behind her to pull at the fastenings, but I held her arm. "I want to save that pleasure for myself, darlin'." she dropped her hands to the button at the top of her shorts, it released with a soft pop and she continued her erotic dance for me, inching the denim past her round hips and down her chocolate thighs. My fangs dropped when she turned around at the end of her show, red was a great color for her. I loved her red see through thong, I wanted to tap the vein down there and alternate feeding from both her core and her blood. She moved forward to straddle me; her arms went around my shoulders, her soft mounds pressing against my shirt front.
"I don't wanna play anymore." her husky voice made me jerk, she pulled my jacket off with ease, then rolled to the side. "Well, are you going to stay dressed?" I'd already kicked off my boots, so I yanked my pants off and my shirt followed it to a heap on the floor. I rolled over on top of her and rested my groin against her red lacy one. Through it I could feel her wetness, I rubbed myself against her, the scent of jasmine turned spicy, and she was so ready. But I wanted to taste her down there, before I took her. "I'm going to taste you, slave. You will call me only by master. Is that understood?" her eyes were shut tight against the pleasure, she nodded. 'Now that just won't do...' I wanted to hear her. I gave a small but firm smack to her thigh. "I want to hear your voice. Do you understand me?" ""Yes." a bite to her shoulder and I stopped moving against her. "Yes...?" "Yes, master." her voice was breathy. "Open your eyes. I want you to see me taste you." Her dark brown eyes opened and they were nearly black with lust. Moving down her body, I stopped right above her center, spreading her legs, I licked her through her panties and she jumped. Smirking I did it again and she gave me a whiny moan. "Please, master. Taste me..." I needed no more; I pulled aside the edge and dove into her. I fit my mouth right over her sex, my tongue sweeping, across her clit, making her quake and writhe beneath me. "You're so good, slave. So sweet and I'm not letting you up until I've tasted every drop this sweet little snatch has to offer." I didn't waste time getting back down to it. Her hands gripped my hair, tugging me closer.
I couldn't get enough of her nectar. I pushed two fingers into her and she bucked up, tightening around my fingers. "My sweet, sweet slave. Tell me what you want." Shannon moaned and whined, "I want you, master. Please, Paul." the continual strike against her spot did the trick. Shannon gasped, but grabbed the bed sheet as the orgasm rolled through her. I swallowed the sticky sweetness, prolonging her climax by keeping my mouth sealed to her core. I trailed my mouth back up her body, resting at the valley between her breasts. I bit through the front of her red bra, the cups snapping off the dark mounds and to her sides, her nipples at attention and a dusty red color. I smirked cruelly, as I covered one straining nipple with my mouth, biting down hard enough to draw blood. A cry reached my ears, but I was beyond hearing, beyond feeling anything but her and me. Her blood rushed onto my tongue, its taste compared to nothing I'd ever had before. I licked it until the small bite would seal, but would scar. I wanted my mark on her forever. "I'm going to fuck you now, slave. I'm gonna fuck you until you pass out." "Please, Paul..." her eyes were half shut, her flushed skin had a fine sheen of sweat that made her body glisten in the low lights of my room. Grabbing a dark thigh, I put it around my waist, pressing into the warmth that has been beckoning me since I had first saw her. My hand tightened on the leg wrapped around me and I drew its twin to do the same.
She was close to climax when I started to enter her, her juices hot and flowing around my hard-on. I pushed inside her in one go, her body arched up against me as I beat out a hard pace, my mouth and fangs making another mark on her neck. I bit down hard on her shoulder and she came around me, going limp. I grimaced as she tightened almost painfully around me. I stopped, taking my mouth away from where I was sucking on her collarbone. 'Thought she was done did she, but of course she did. Never been with a real man before...'
"Not done with you." I growled as I pulled out, flipping her on her stomach and entering her again in one smooth movement. Shannon screamed as her oversensitive flesh was filled again. "Yes, yes, yes." she moaned, unknowingly chanting as she bucked into her vampire who was doing his best to split her in two. A rough, pale hand slipped across her back, gliding under her to her stomach before locating that spot between her legs that would make her eyes roll to the back of her head. "Paul." she murmured, and then she shattered again, and again. I went over with her.
She slumped over and I fell on her back and rolled to the side, still inside her and brought her with me. I took unneeded breaths, listening to her heart trying to calm itself. "Shannon, how was that?" she didn't respond. I moved her so she lie on her back. Her eyes were shut, I chuckled. I'd done her til she passed out, I kept my word. I got up from the bed and rummaged around my room and found a blanket under the mountain of pillows she'd pushed off of the bed. Getting back into the bed and covering us both, I felt the drain of our 'activity' on my body. I could feel hunger creeping up, but I pushed it down fiercely. I couldn't allow myself to feed off this human, she somehow got under my skin. I wrapped my hand softly around her throat. If I put just a little pressure, I could kill her instantly, snapping her neck. She'd never even feel it, she'd sleep forever. Her laugh entered my head. Then her smile. The way her hips swayed when she walked for me. We'd had fun, real fun. Something I'd only had with my brothers. I leaned up over her, looking down into her sleeping face.
"How long do you plan on contemplating killing me?" her voice shocked me. Her dark eyes opened and gazed softly at me. "What do you mean?" "I didn't pass out, it's called catching your breath. I felt your hands around my throat, Paul." she sighed and raised her hand to my cheek, her skin still hot. "Paul, you didn't have to force yourself to sleep with me if you didn't want to." she rolled out from under me and put on her clothes and gathered her things.. "I'm outta here. I'll be bunking with Angel until you no longer feel the need to strangle me."
As she walked out of my room, she muttered "Vampires...". I ran a hand through my hair and fell back against the bed. Her scent already getting lighter, her spot going cold. I closed my eyes and waited for the sun to rise. 'Damn women. Still a fucking mystery even after nearly a century...'

Dwayne POV
I walked into my room and looked for Tatyana. A loud thud sound came from the other side of the bed, I saw the dark blond streaks glinting off the lantern she had. "You okay?" A pale hand shot up. "Fine... Don't worry about me. Everything's peachy." I walked around the bed and saw she was cleaning her boots, wiping mud from the leather. "What happened on your way here? In the woods?" her hands paused in their work, she didn't look up. "So you know? Who told you?" I pulled the cloth and the boot out of her hands. "You shouldn't-" she snatched her hand out of mine. "You do not get to tell me what I should and shouldn't do." She rose and began gathering some of the clothes she'd bought here. She sighed heavily. "Tomorrow night, we're leaving... I don't know what's going to happen after tomorrow. We might not have even changed anything and you all could still die." When she stopped I stood up and went behind her, my arms circled her waist. "Then don't think about tomorrow." She leaned back into me and moved her head back. "I only think about tomorrow. Because I can't have yesterday, and I spend today worrying about next week." her light giggle made me loosen my arms and look at her face. She was smiling. "I have no idea what you just said." she kissed my cheek and sauntered out the room, her hips swinging. "I need to go apologize to someone. Be right back." I settled on my bed, taking my coat and boots off, as well as my pants, I slid under the covers and waited for her to come back.
I didn't have to wait long; Tatyana came into the room blushing a delicious red. "She was busy, so I left a note." I frowned and she continued. "With Marko. I thought it best to not interrupt them..." she took off everything but put on one of my few shirts. A white tank top that was actually clean. "What are you doing?" I asked her while she was getting in the bed. Her head tilted and she gave me a blank stare. "Getting in the bed so I can go to sleep...?" she made it a hesitant question. I reached over and pulled her to lie across me. "Not tonight. There will be no sleeping done in this bed tonight." I kissed her shoulder and started inching the top up from the bottom. "Oh right. Sleeping is for humans, which I am." I pulled the fabric over her head. "Sleeping is for humans without a vampire lover to please." she began kissing my throat, sucking every now and again. Moaning, I felt her hand dig into my hair and tug back, exposing more of my neck to her blunt teeth. "So now I have to please you now, right? That doesn't sound too hard." I laughed and pulled her face to mine, her breath brushing my lips. "Wait until sunrise, then tell me how hard it was."

Angel was sitting on the bed, trying to figure out what was going on. Tatyana had come by the room, saying she'd left a note for Zulai and apologized. He lay back on the bed, one leg hanging over the edge the other propped on the frame of the old bed. He heard someone walking down the tunnel, and was getting closer. Thinking it was Tatyana again, he didn't bother getting up. When the covering over the entrance was pushed aside he sat up, seeing Shannon standing there with a pillow and some things. "Can I stay here? I don't want to be out in the main area, it has a draft and Thorn is gone."
Angel rubbed a hand over his face. "Sure. The bed's big enough." when Shannon had walked around to the other side and crawled in he sighed. "Do you want to talk about it?" when she was silent, he took it as a no. He stayed on top of the sheets while she was under. "He tried to kill me." Angel rolled to his side and pulled her into a hug. "He is a vampire. You should have had your guard up." Shannon didn't cry, but she shook. "Tonight is our last night here." "In the cave?" "No. in this world. Tomorrow night is the night where the movie begins. The beach. Where Star first sees Michael. In the morning we have to find Star and Laddie. Tatyana and David are going to take care of them. I'm going to make sure Sam meets the Frogs and that still stays on course."
Shannon pulled away and tucked her hands under the blood red pillow she swiped from Paul's bed. "Will we just fade out or something?" "I guess it'll be like when we got here. I doubt we'll notice anything. I just wonder if anyone's noticed we've gone missing. Anyways, we need to get some sleep," Angel closed his eyes. "We have a lot to do in the morning." Shannon moved closer to Angel and closed her eyes. Soon their breaths evened out and they were asleep, neither noticing Paul outside the doorway. He held the coin in the center of his palm and made a fist around it, he went back to his room and buried his nose in the bed, the scent of her fading. He let darkness take him.

David stood up and stretched. Muscles ached from painting for so long. The candles near the bed, nearly burnt out. As he walked towards the bed, he took in the still sleeping face of the girl he planned on bedding this night. 'Maybe I still can...' he thought to himself. He sat on the left side of the bed, careful not to jostle her too much and leaned over her. His arm on her other side, he laid a small kiss on the corner of her lips, softly laying whispers of kisses.
Guadalupe felt soft, tickling touches on her mouth and face, she moved her head slightly. When she felt something cold press against them she started waking up. She gasped when her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she saw David kissing her.
David took advantage and went deeper, gently tasting and probing. His tongue coaxing hers to play. Then Lupe began to respond to his kiss, she shyly reached her hand to his face, her head tilting back as his went forward, angling her mouth for a better taste. His hand went to her shoulder and slowly pushed aside the material of the shirt she was sleeping in. David left her mouth and she took in deep lungfuls of air, while he started nipping and licking at her neck. "I want you. So bad. I can make it good, it won't hurt."
When David nipped a spot on her shoulder, she shuddered. She could give in. 'It wouldn't be so bad.' a soft voice in her head said, sounding strangely like Tatyana. 'But you've been a virgin for this long and you want to save yourself for marriage.' she let out a soft moan and covered her mouth, pulling her skin away from his mouth. "I'm- I'm sorry. I want to save myself until marriage." she was confused when she heard David chuckling. "You too, huh? Well we can still have fun. I want to feel you." he said and stood up, taking off his clothes and heavy boots. She started panicking. "What do you mean 'you too'?" David was unfastening his pants and she looked away. "I meant that's how I was raised too, although the courting period was anywhere from a year to three. We don't have to go all the way, but I feel like I need to feel your skin on mine. So that I know you're real and this isn't some beautiful dream."
David got back into the bed and pulled back the covers, exposing her pale legs. He gently gripped one thin ankle and tugged her leg down, the result had her shirt rose and he saw she wasn't wearing underwear. 'Probably washed them or something.' she blushed and quickly pulled the hem back down to cover her parts. "I don't think that's such a good idea." she said. She looked so beautiful. "Lupe, look, I promise I will go inside you, just on the outside, enough to give you pleasure." he said softly in her ear, his stubble scraping against her sensitive skin. "Promise..." 'Give in. Live a little.' the 'good' voice said. she nodded and he kissed her again, his hands brushing hers away from the shirt. "Put your hands at the sides of your head. Once we start this I won't stop until you beg me." She slowly raised her hands until they were at level with her head.
David's hand skimmed down the front of the shirt, going between her small breasts and down her flat belly. Pulling the hem up, he place his hand on her stomach, Lupe winced. "You're cold." she said. I leaned down and said into her neck, "Because there's no blood in me. I'll need to feed in order to be at normal human temperature." He nipped again at her neck, this time on her pulse. "You want to feed? From me..?" "Yes. I would like to know what you taste like, since I already know what you smell like." Lupe nodded and David sunk his fangs into the column of her throat, her blood flooding his stomach and heating his body. He felt himself harden, the blood flowing through the rest of his body. He pulled back and licked the small bite until it closed. David kissed her lips, and she could taste her blood on his tongue, oddly not turning her off.
When he had finally left her mouth, her head was way too deep in the gutter. She was dazed, and more excitement followed as he placed kisses on her collarbone. Now, she didn't want him to let go of her. Not now, not ever. He continued to ravish her breast, only changing to the other excited bud before trailing kisses down her stomach. Parting her legs, he was greeted by black pubic hair. He stopped for a minute to take her naked figure in. It was a beautiful sight to see. Taking one of her legs up and holding her in place with his other hand; he took the nub between her legs with his lips. She shuddered and he sucked harder, making her arch up into his mouth. Lupe bit into her lip, holding back a whine. With his tongue, he went deeper into her, tasting the juices that were beginning to seep out. The tangy taste excited him more and he couldn't wait to feel all of her.
Unable to stop himself any longer, he took her naked form and placed her in the bed. Opening her legs wide, he saw her glittering core spasm a little as if asking for something to fill it. He didn't doubt a second to do just that, his finger found the forbidden entrance and pushed forward, encountering a tight sheath that made him wonder if he would fit. Not stopping to consider the consequences, he pulled his finger out a little as Lupe sucked air in, only to be let out as he entered her with his finger again. She moaned, it was hard not to when such a marvelous sensation was racketing her body from head to toe. But she was unable to stop it when his mouth once more pulled at her clit together with that blessed finger that entered her. She tried to cover the groans by placing a hand over her mouth, but when he noticed that such luscious sounds were muffled, he took steps to fix it.
First was his adding another finger to the combo which, although he barely managed it. He heard her gasp loud and clear, and smirked as another stream of muffled moans reached his ears, these being louder and more difficult to quiet than the others. Second was the removal of the appendage that covered her mouth, so he used his free hand to remove it. Once again, face to face to with Lupe, he noticed her closed eyes and flushed cheeks because of the embarrassing noises coming out of her mouth.
"So beautiful" said David with his lower lip shining from Lupe's fluids. "Scream for me. Don't be shy" he said while taking her hands in his. Her cries reached his ear, making his already painfully hard member twitch with anticipation. Taking her lips with his, he begged with tongue for access into her mouth. She allowed it, taking his tongue and lower lip to suck at, finding the taste of his saliva mingled with her fluid addicting. Meanwhile, his thumb rubbed her clit and two of his fingers penetrated her with an upward buck from her hips.
She was still catching her breath not quite satiated and certainly wanting more. David sat on the bed and pulled her to him. Placing her right between his thighs, she came to find his hard member pointing at her. It looked huge, although text books told her of what to expect of its general shape, it looked nothing like what was in front of her. "I won't go in, I'll just put it on top." David explained, calming the girl. They both hissed when he came in contact with her. After the blood he'd taken, he knew he was warm and up to the task set in front of him.
He rocked forward an inch and scrapped against her sensitive clit, causing her to see stars. David felt her come when he rocked into her, he bit his lip, his fangs pushing through the skin. How he wanted to feel her coming around him a few hundred times. Her pale legs squeezed his hips tighter, her arms going around his shoulders to pull him in closer. She was dripping wet, a gusher. He kissed her shoulder and neck as she came down from her orgasm. Her breathing hard and choppy, her heart beating faster than a hummingbird. "That was an orgasm...?" She was still breathless and I still hard against her. "Yeah... Never had one before?" She shook her head and he smirked. "Then allow me to show you the wonders of multiple orgasms."
By her forth one, he came hard, spilling all over her lower region and her womanhood. David fell to the side and pulled her to him. "That was good." "You, uh...down there..." David nuzzled Lupe's neck. "Don't worry, you won't get anything. We can't catch or carry human diseases or get girls pregnant. A side effect of being one of the undead I guess." Lupe yawned. "Oh..." "Get to sleep little human. You'll need it if you plan on waking up in the morning. Although I would love to rise with you in my arms." He felt the blood rise to cover her cheeks, her body heating up and he groaned. "Too bad the sun's coming or I'd show you what it means to love a vampire." she laughed softly at his words and turned to face him, her face burrowing under his head, his scent all over her, he let the sun claim him, Lupe following behind him into a deep sleep.
