Mavis had been walking and had closed her eyes for only a moment to blink but when she opened them, she was not were she was before. In fact, she was now in an entirely different part of the building. There was a large dome above her and columns down the sides surrounding her in a circle. In the center on a pedestal, was a single golden cup.
Mavis slowly approached it to find that it was filled with blood. She had worked up quite a thirst on her way and decided to have a sip. She took the cup with both hands and took a large gulp of the warm red liquid. Her eyes opened wider in surprise,"what is this? This tastes nothing like any blood I've had." She thought while continuing to drink savagely."it's so... Amazing!". She finished the cup and put it down desperately wanting more."this must be real blood. my dad lied to me, you can tell the difference. The real question though is whose is it?"
On the far side of the dome there was another cup. She ran to it and drank it quickly dropping the cup when she finished. Blood had by now stained the area of her mouth and had started to drip to the floor. She had to find out whose blood this was. There was a small funnel dripping blood into the next cup. The funnel went all the way to the ceiling and into it." The source must be upstairs!" She dashed to the stairs and went up only to find a scene that would forever haunt her.
Johnny was laying in the middle of the room with his wrists cut clearly bleeding out. The blood then ran into the funnels that went to the room underneath of which she was drinking.
"Oh my god! Johnny!" She ran to him and knelt beside him trying to help but nothing could be done at this stage. He had already lost too much blood.
"I love you Mavis" he barely got out.
"I love you too" she said sadly. She tried to look him in the eyes during this despairing moment but When ever she tried to look at Johnny she always found herself glancing at the blood that surrounded him."maybe just one more sip" she thought mesmerized, then she shook her head. "No, what am I doing?" She again tried to put pressure on on his wound but they would not stop bleeding." Johnny I don't know what to do! What am I supposed to do?!" But Johnny was not responding anymore.
"That's such a shame" said the voice. Mavis looked up to see herself looming above them and shanking her head. Her conscience apparently now had a form.
"So now you decide to show yourself?"Mavis said with an annoyed tone still kneeling beside Johnny.
" no, you see before I couldn't show myself but apparently the intensity has increased." The conscious replied. "wow would you look at all that blood, you must be dying of thirst. go ahead have some, it's not like Johnny will be needing it anymore."
"Just shut up" she said softly while staring at the red puddle that was on the floor. She seemed mesmerized.
Her conscience refused to be quiet "oh Come on Mavis, it's too late for Johnny anyway but I'm sure that he would still want to make you happy so go on. Just one bite and you can but him out of his misery".
Mavis looked at his cut wrists and without thinking twice grabbed them, closed her eyes, and bit the wound taking every ounce of blood that Johnny had left. After she finished, she pulled away and sat clawing through her hair. Johnny's body lay pale and motionless."had she really just eaten her zing. How could she have been so weak" She thought. "What have I done?"
"I'll tell you what you've done, you just ate your boyfriend. Talk about bad breakups" her conscience replied.
Mavis wasn't even listening,"Johnny I hope you can forgive me"she whispered to him even though she was aware that he was no longer alive. After a long while of silence where even her conscience hadn't spoken a word, Mavis got up."I have to get out of here" she exclaimed before starting off again.
Her conscience walked beside her."Is that what's your going to repeat when you do?"
"No! Of course not ill be stronger than that". She tried to reassure herself.
"Are you sure because it wasn't that hard to convince you otherwise." It mocked.
Was her conscience always this much of an ass? But then again Mavis wasn't a hundred percent sure she could resist the temptation of Johnny's blood. It was so...divine and unbelievable.
"Your thinking about it aren't you?" It continued.
"About what?"
"You know what I'm talking about don't play stupid." It replied.
"No...well yea"
It just nodded it head."yup Johnny is so gone."
"Get out of here! what is wrong with you!" Mavis yelled finally breaking. "Why do you hate me so much?!"
Her conscience just smiled like it enjoyed her anger."I'm just pointing it out".
The rest of the halls after the dome were filled with horrible paintings of Johnny bleeding from ever possible spot on his body in all different ways making Mavis's mouth water at the sight of it."stop. Don't think like that your not a monster."
"Yes actually you are" it continued to antagonize the vampire.
Mavis just ignored it again. The pictures now showed Mavis causing these injuries on Johnny which made him bleed."Maybe I could just have a little more" she eventually started Thinking to herself." Johnny has so much of it, he would share wouldn't he? Yes I'll only talk little bits while he's sleeping maybe. He won't even notice". These thoughts rushed into her head and Mavis started to agree with all of them. She was losing it.
