Chapter 3
As the night drew closer Cayden's hunger for human blood began to grow. Ana was still sleeping in his bed and he didn't want to leave her alone. He didn't want to take any chances of David coming back. Cayden wasn't quite sure what to do. He couldn't just have Ana stay here forever but yet he knew David would be back for her. He's all ready had a taste of her and wants the rest.
As he sat in an old, torn chair he heard some slight movement from behind him. He turned around to find Ana walking slowly down the hallway. Her long golden brown hair covering her face she gave him a slight smile.
"Oh no, what do I say to her?" he quickly thought to himself.
"I'm sorry about earlier." He murmured to her, afraid of what her response will be.
" It's okay, I understand. Well, actually I don't but right now everything's confusing. But it's okay." She said.
He was surprised that she wasn't going off on him, not that he didn't mind. But he wouldn't blame her if she did.
She walked closer and sank down into the couch. She sat there for a moment studying him. He looked paler than usual and weak.
" What's wrong?" she asked him.
" Huh…oh nothing." He answered, surprised by her question.
" Well, by the looks of you it seems as though something's wrong." She said wanting an answer.
" If you insist on knowing…. I'm hungry" he said
" Then why don't you just get something to eat from the fridge, or is there nothing in there?" she said realizing then by the look on his face that he meant something else.
" For blood, I need it to survive. It's been a day since I've had any." He answered feeling embarrassed by what he had just said.
Ana wasn't quite sure what to say. " B…b...but I thought you weren't evil. I thought you didn't kill humans." She said.
" See all vampires have some evil in them, it just comes along with the package. I didn't choose to be evil , or to be a vampire." He said sadly thinking of how his life use to be before he became one of them. Before he became a vampire.
"So then you do kill humans?" she asked hoping that his answer would be no.
He nodded his head, feeling like crap. " I wish it wasn't that way. I do eat the blood of animals too but as every vampire knows you need human blood to survive. I can live off animals for a while but sooner or later my vampire instincts crave human blood and it's as thought I can't control myself. But I do try to take the blood of homeless people. Or someone who wont be missed too much." He told her.
He almost expected her to move away from him, or to be totally freaked out but she just sat there starring at him in a caring way.
"Then go eat, don't worry about me I'll be safe here until you come back" she said encouraging him to go.
" No, I cant. If David were to come back for you…."he didn't finish his sentence, he didn't need to. She knew what he was getting at.
" And if you were here when he came what would you be able to do since your so weak?" she asked feeling as though she made a point.
"But…" he didn't get to finish his sentence for Ana interrupted.
"Just go! I'll take a shower and clean up while your gone" she said.
" Man I never knew she could be so demanding. She always seemed so shy." Cayden thought to himself.
"Ok, I'll go, but don't leave. And I'll be back in an hour. And here take this just in case you need it." He said while handing her a long, sharp knife. And then he disappeared out the front door.
