Chapter 27
Daisy ran through the forest, stumbling over the protruding tree roots, she approached a clearing, looking off into the distance she spotted a bridge, which actually looked like some form of railway track. She pushed forward, reaching the bridge and confirming it was in fact a railway track, maybe she'd wait for the train to roll through, she looked down over the side of the bridge, or maybe she'd jump, she couldn't see what was below due to a build of freezing fog but the way she felt at that moment she really didn't care.
She perched herself on the edge of the wooden tracks, her feet dangling over the edge, she sighed, her shoulder hunching in despair. She whipped her head up when she heard footsteps heading her way, her heart pounded against her chest as she saw it was Paul,
"You didn't have to follow me, I understand how everyone feels." She told him dejectedly.
Paul walked over and sat beside her, swinging his legs over the edge, "You're wrong Daisy, you do belong in our family." Paul assured her.
"Dwayne doesn't seem to think so." She replied, shaking her head.
"Dwayne's angry right now, the women he loved just got killed. He's lashing out. You do belong in our family because you belong with me." He professed. Daisy looked up at him, she could see in his eyes that what he said was the truth, she felt the pull, she felt the energy between them, she never believed in fate or destiny, but she was beginning to understand there are things in this life that she never dreamed could exist.
"You're too good for me Paul." She rebuked,
Paul laughed bitterly, "Daze you don't know what your talking about."
"I do." She argued,
"Ya don't." he smiled sadly.
"Paul."
"Yeah Daze?"
"What are you?" she asked seriously, "You and your brothers, what are you?"
"What do you mean?" Paul asked frowning,
"I saw what Dwayne did, I saw his eyes, they were… inhuman… and just not in the cave, when you and Dwayne were fighting, the wall was crumbling around you and you're not even hurt." She stated bewildered. "You're not like me, I know your not completely human." She added.
Paul sighed heavily, kicking his feet at the air, "You really wanna know? Once I tell you there's no going back." he warned her.
She considered his warning, nodding her head after a moment, "I wanna know."
"We're… Uh…" He rubbed his hands down his face, struggling to find a way to explain. "Ah shit, we're vampires." He stated, letting his confessing hang in the air.
Daisy gasped, her hand covering her mouth, "Vampire?" she asked in confirmation.
"Uh huh." He nodded with a shrug.
"But… but they don't exist." She whispered, "I… I thought they were just stories, legends, myths."
"Nope, we're real alright." He assured her,
"Wow, I… I don't really know how to react." She stated honestly,
"Sure, a guy tells you he's a vamp, gotta be tough right?" he laughed. "I just wanna ask you something though." He mumbled,
"Uh okay, ask." She accepted.
"Does knowing what I really am change your mind, do you still wanna be with me?" he whispered.
She fell silent, it was a good question, could she really be with someone like Paul? A natural predator, she could easily end up as his prey, but as she debated the choice she had, when she thought about not seeing Paul anymore, not feeling his touch on her skin, not seeing his pale blue eyes, not hearing his childish laughter she felt her heart ache, a gaping hole begun to form in her chest, a hole which Paul had started to fill, she knew she didn't want to live a life that didn't have him in it.
She gently placed her hand in his, "It doesn't change anything, I can't imagine my life without you in it." She told him sincerely. Paul grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief once again, he pulled her close to him, kissing her lips passionately, the familiar warmth she'd come to know as Paul's effect on her body begun to seep across her body, pooling low in her stomach.
"Awesome." He grinned fist pumping himself, making her giggle,
"You're such a dork." She teased, slapping his shoulder playfully,
"Dork lover." He teased back, attacking her with soft kisses all over her face.
"Ah get off me you weirdo." She giggled, his lips tickling her skin, fuelling the fire burning inside her.
"Hmmm scared I'm gonna bite ya?" He breathed, placing a slow kiss to her neck.
She felt her stomach jolt, a sensation so strong shot between her legs, making her thighs squeeze together, "now who's the weirdo." He chuckled,
"Huh what do ya mean?" she asked,
"You're turned on by the thought of me biting you." He whispered in her ear, kissing the same spot of her neck, lightly grazing his teeth across her skin. The sensation hit her again with more force, he breathed in the scent of her skin, "There you go again." He teased.
"How… how do you know that?" She questioned, her cheeks heating.
"Vampire powers." He laughed, kissing her forehead.
"Would… would you bite me?" she asked bashfully, sending Paul into hysterics.
"Nah Daze, not unless you wanted me to." He grinned, shooting her a wink.
"Oh." She smiled shyly, diverting her gaze to the fog pooling below their feet.
"Ahem." Someone coughed behind them, they both turned around in unison,
"Sorry to interrupt but I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Dwayne stated, "Daisy I was just lashing out in anger, I didn't mean what I said, I just can't believe Althea has gone." He told her sadly, "Paul, bro, I'm sorry I beat on ya." He smirked.
Paul smirked back, jumping to his feet and wrapping Dwayne in a brotherly hug, "it's all good man." Paul assured him, slapping him on the back,
"Yeah, don't worry about it." Daisy told him, "and I know it doesn't really change anything, but I am really sorry about Althea, I really didn't want anyone to get hurt trying to help me." She added earnestly.
Dwayne nodded his head, "Well I'll leave you two to uh… whatever it was you were doing." Dwayne smirked before sprinting back into the woods.
Paul pulled Daisy up onto her feet, "So where were we." He breathed seductively, making her insides melt. He leaned down, kissing her hard on the lips, she opened up to him, parting her lips, welcoming his tongue against her lips, sliding against her tongue, exploring her. He pulled her close, crushing her hips against his, she felt her face flush as she felt a hardness forming between his legs. He sensed her shyness, breaking the kiss, "Oops sorry." He smirked, putting some space between them.
She giggled coyly, "It's okay." She assured him with a shy smile,
"Really?" he asked cocking his head to the side,
"Mmhmm." She nodded, biting her lower lip.
"That's good because it ain't gonna go away." He chuckled, pulling her back towards him catching her lips between his teeth, she startled herself as a quiet moan escaped her, Paul laughing hysterically at the look on her face. She swatted at his arm,
"Quit it." She cautioned him playfully, "It's not funny."
"It is a lil bit babe." He disagreed, hugging her into his chest. "Want me to take you home? I'll drop by the store and see Matt, tell him you won't be in for a few days, that you got jumped or something." He asked.
"I'd appreciate you telling Max, but I'd like to go back to yours and see Gemma, if that's okay?" she asked.
"Sure, thing babe." He replied, taking her hand and heading back towards the cave.
They arrived back at the cave, Paul kissing her goodbye before heading off to break the news to Matt,
"Ooooo" Marco teased, Paul flipping him the bird as he walked up the caves incline. Marco laughed giving Paul chase jumping on to his back, rough housing as they made their way to their bikes.
Daisy walked cautiously over to where Gemma sat stroking her stomach, David was sitting on the fountain edge with Dwayne smoking and drinking, deep in conversation. Gemma looked up, a weary smile on her face,
"Hey chick, you okay?" she asked,
Daisy sat beside her, "Yeah, fine. I'm sorry you got hurt Gemma really I am." She professed.
Gemma pulled her in to a sisterly hug, "Don't be sorry, I'm glad I didn't let that wanker hurt you anymore. Hope he rots." She stated in disgust.
Daisy smiled gratefully, giving Gemma's hand a squeeze. She glanced down at her stomach, she'd been too distracted earlier to notice how big Gemma's bump was.
"Gem I thought you were only a few months gone? You look about 5." Daisy told her incredulously.
Gemma glanced at David who raised his brow, "Oh uh yeah, I am." She replied.
"Are you sure? Waaaittt..." Daisy paused in thought. "David's the father right?" Daisy asked.
"Right" Gemma confirmed, "why?" she asked confused.
"Then it makes sense. Those legends were true." Daisy muttered to herself.
"Daisy what are you talking about?" Gemma pressed, David and Dwayne pausing their conversation to listen to what Daisy had to say.
"Sorry I um... I read a lot, one of my favourite things to read where legends and myths. One of the legends was about vampires seducing human women and getting them pregnant." She narrated, she noticed the look of shock on Gemma's face, "It's okay Paul told me what he is." She added, "anyway a vampire baby growing in a human body grows at an accelerated rate. Meaning double to three times as fast as a human baby. When the baby is born it will only be half vampire, until the child makes it's first kill it won't become a full vampire." She related.
"Much like you or Gemma." David interrupted.
"huh?" Gemma asked confused by all the information.
"If I turned you, you would only be half vampire until you made your first kill." He explained.
"Oh" Gemma acknowledged. She stroked her stomach, feeling the fluttering of her son moving around in her stomach. "So I could give birth like, soon?" she asked Daisy.
"Uh huh." Daisy nodded in reply.
"Woah" Gemma replied.
David lit another cigarette, his icy blue eyes fixed on Gemma's, she felt the heat of his gaze radiate through her, stoking a fire they hadn't ignited in some time. She felt the place between her legs as David's eyes smouldered, he looked so sexy right now, her hormones must be working overtime because she wanted him badly, the smirk on his face telling her he knew.
She smirked as Paul and Marco chose that moment to come hurtling down the caves incline, teasing and slapping at each other. Gemma faked a yawn, stretching her arms,
"I think I'm gonna call it a night" she told the others, David getting to his feet and strolling over to her.
"Night kids" David smirked.
"Play safe now, we don't want twins" Paul snorted, Marco joining in his laughter, Dwayne smirking knowingly, Daisy finally realised what was happening and giggled.
"Oh behave." Gemma chuckled taking David's hand and heading off to their room.
As soon as she closed the door David was on her, kissing her lips hard, his hands wandering over her soft curves.
"What got into you." Gemma asked breathlessly.
He breathed in her scent, grazing his teeth across her neck, "The thought of me turning you, biting into your soft flesh. Mmm just thinking about it is driving me crazy." He whispered enticingly, sending shivers down her spine.
"Mmm keep thinking what your thinking." She purred kissing him passionately.
He hoisted her up wrapping her legs around his waist, grasping her ass in his hands. "Put me down I must weigh a ton" she mumbled between kisses.
"Sshh baby, you seriously underestimate my strength." He hushed, licking her neck teasingly.
"Mmm my big strong fella" she swooned, wrapping her arms around his neck. He kissed her passionately, parting her lips with his tongue, sliding it slowly against hers. He rocked his length against her sweet spot making her moan. She could feel heat start to pool between her legs, as he took control of her body.
He pulled away from the wall, carrying her over to the bed, unwilling to halt the assault on her lips. He slowly lowered her down onto the bed, keeping her locked against his hips and his lips.
He ground his length against her, making her sex pulse with desire. He groaned as he kissed his way from her lips, down her jaw to her neck, sucking and nipping his way down to her chest. He grazed his thumb over her peaked sensitive nipples, nipping at them with his mouth through her clothes.
She didn't know how much more she could take. She just wanted to feel him inside her. She reached down between them, unzipping his jeans and sliding her hand down to stroke his rock hard length. He moaned against her chest, thrusting himself against her hand.
He seemed to understand what she wanted as he hastily pulled off her jeans and underwear along with his own. Groaning as he teased her slick wet entrance with the tip of his length. The slowly pushed himself inside her making her gasp as she stretched to accommodate him.
"David" she panted,
"Mmm" he replied too lost in desire to form words.
"Bite me, I want you to taste me, mark me, I'm yours" she whispered. He stopped mid thrust, his face a mixture of pleasure and confusion.
"You want me to turn you?" he asked, kissing her neck.
"No not yet, but I want you to mark me, taste me, I want you to have all of me." She whispered.
She couldn't breathe as he crushed his lips against hers, thrashing his tongue against hers, his length throbbing inside her. He started to thrust slowly once again inside her, sucking and kissing her neck.
A sudden sharp pain made her cry out, a mixture of pleasure and pain taking over her as his fangs pierced her flesh and he sucked greedily. He pumped harder and faster inside her, growling as he licked her neck of any trace of blood. She moaned she came hard, an orgasm so strong it made her see stars, David reaching his own climax seconds later as his hot seed erupted inside her.
"I fucking love you" he growled kissing her lips harshly.
"I love you too" she giggled as he collapsed beside her, pulling her into his arms.
