Almost at part 10... Then I'm taking a break. Enjoy!


"Why is he screaming? Make it stop!" Jothin yelled.

"It's fine, it's perfectly normal! His fangs are forcing their way in!" Othin yelled over Bjorn's screaming.

Thonnir looked at Bjorn's face and grimaced. Did he look like this when he first woke? The pain was all over Bjorn's face. He seemed to be in more pain then Thonnir had, was that possible?

"Ok, that's odd. His fangs should be in already," Baldur questioned.

Yet Bjorn still screamed. Three minutes went by and he didn't stop. And worse still, his fangs still hadn't come in. Othin gasped.

"Oh no, I've seen this before. His fangs can't force their way out of his gums. If we don't help his fangs come out soon he could die. You see, the venom needs to-"

'JUST DO IT!" Jothin screamed.

"That's just where it gets complicated," Othin turned to Jothin. "He needs blood. If we tempt him with the scent of blood his primal hunter instincts will force the fangs to come out. And it has to be fresh blood."

Jothin looked at Othin with terror. Then he slowly began to understand. With a grimace on his face, he slit his wrist. Almost at once Bjorn stopped screaming. He launched himself at Jothin he bit down on his wrist. Jothin began to scream as his blood was sucked out.

'ENOUGH," Othin yelled.

Bjorn let go and fell to the floor, massaging his gums. Jothin quivered on the floor, crying quietly. Bjorn looked over at Jothin and tears ran down his face. He got up and slowly walked over to Jothin. He looked at Othin with a pleading look. Othin quietly walked over and looked at Jothin's wrist. He felt his pulse, looked at his throat, and rubbed his neck. He looked up at Bjorn.

"He'll be fine. He's just in shock and has some blood lost."

Bjorn fell down and sobbed into his hands.

"Is this what I am now? Just some demon that kills people?"

"Of course not. When all of us changed we had a blood frenzy, it's normal. Where do you two live?"

"In a farmhouse near Rorikstead."

Othin walked over and picked up Jothin, who had fallen asleep.

"I'll take him there to sleep. You stay here. You'll return home soon, but you need to learn about vampirism before that. Baldur here will help you with that."

Othin walked out of the cave and set off. Bjorn looked over at Thonnir and something lit up in his eyes. With no warning, Thonnir was on the ground with Bjorn on top of him. Bjorn started kissing his neck. Thonnir threw him off and jumped to his feet.

"Looks like you were right," Thonnir gasped looking at Baldur.

Baldur started laughing, and Bjorn started stuttering. Finally he found his words.

"Oh my gods, I don't know what came over me. Forgive me, forgive-"

Thonnir laughed.

"It's fine, it's a vampire thing. I'm not mad at all. Better not let Jothin find out though."

Bjorn sighed and sat down.

"I'm not going to see Jothin anymore."

"What!?" Baldur and Thonnir said at the same time.

"I almost killed him. I can't face him!"

"We told you, it's natural. When I turned I killed some random kid that was walking down the road. I didn't even know him and I ended his life without a second though. The fact that you still care that you almost killed him shows that you still have feelings. Most vampire lose their's completely and have to develop them all over again, that is if they want feelings at all. You could live like a normal human being all over again now. You don't have to kill, you can simply eat food."

"Really?"

Baldur nodded. Bjorn sat back and smiled to himself.

"Sorry I kind of... Killed you..." Thonnir said sheepishly.

"Bjorn looked up.

"Sorry? Even if I'm mad that I've been torn away from my humanity, I've been gifted with something better. I've been given... Power. Power to crush lesser mortals."

"Now that may be a problem..." Baldur whispered to Thonnir.
