The Vampires
Chapter XIII
The hours past by and turned into a day, and Radius hadn't had a single thought of Elizabeth, at least not worrying thoughts. No one went into her room, and no one asked Radius what he was going to do about her. After all, she was his responsibility, because he had the bond of creation with her, and therefore he would always know how and where she was. His friends would notice him pausing with thought before every meal, as if Elizabeth's definete hunger was haunting him. Radius had refused to speak of her, and he would not allow his friends to go near her room. Radius didn't care what happened to her now. She was dead to him.
Another day came. Solidus visited Radius one day to see how the newborn vampire was doing. Radius had just darkened his gaze in the direction of Elizabeth's room and replied"I don't know. Nor do I care." Solidus had been surprised by his remark. He knew that Just a few days ago Radius had cared for her at least as much as a maker of another would. Why the sudden change? Solidus looked at Radius and said"You should know. She's your responsibility." Radius had glared at his master and growled"She is none of your concern, then, if she is MY responsibility. Is that correct?" Solidus stared at Radius. This was not his natural attitude, not even before he had been a vampire. All his life he had been kind and understanding, even when the cruelest was done. Why was he acting like this? And then it dawned on Solidus, and he knew Elizabeth's condition, and also what would happen. He said to Radius,"That is correct, my boy..I'm sure you'll make the right choices for her." He turned and left then. Radius stared after him, many thoughts running through his head. Did Solidus feel through him Elizabeth's pain? Truly an advanced Vampire would. Then why hadn't he went to help Elizabeth? What had he ment by 'I'm sure you'll make the right choices for her'? All Radius knew for sure was that the pain of being hurt by her harsh words had faded. He wasn't sure why he was still mad at her. At least he knew he WAS still mad.......wasn't he?
The third day came. Radius went to breakfast, and all he could feel that morning was that Elizabeth needed him. He tried to ignore it. As he bent to bite into his breakfast with his friends, he stopped himself. To his friend's surprise, he sped out of the room faster than any normal boy his age could run, straight to Elizabeth's door. He didn't hesitate to pull the door open. What he saw made him stand in complete shock for at least five seconds. Elizabeth was laying on her back on her bed, her arms stretched out at her left and right side.. Her once flawless blonde hair was stained red with tears of red-black blood. Her face was snow-white, as was the rest of her body. Her beautiful blue eyes were misty and sunken-in. Her chest heaved up and down and her breathing was raspy and dry, and came out as short gasps. Her eyes hadn't turned away from her ceiling; He couldn't tell if she knew he was there. Maybe she could feel it.
"Elizabeth!!!!!!!!"Radius ran to her side. "Oh, Elizabeth....."He said, sadness and anger at himself clouding his voice. Without hesitation he bit his own wrist open, much larger than necessary, and put it to her dry lips. "Drink Elizabeth, please,"He said. She blinked, aware that someone was there, but did not focus her gaze on him. She still only attempted to breathe, unaware of his offer. "Please drink, Elizabeth!" He said louder, choking on his emotion. Her eyes were clouding over, and her breathe was slowing. She closed her eyes halfway. Still she didn't drink. "Am I too late?" Radius thought, and a single bloody tear fell down his cheek. His first tear. It would have come as more of a shock if he wasn't focused on Elizabeth. He hung his head as his wrist began to close itself up, more red-black tears rolling over his face. "Please...I- if..there is a lord..." He whispered. "Please let her live..."
Elizabeth's eyes drooped; she felt tired. She felt someone near her, but she was too tired too care. She was about to fall asleep when she felt something fall onto her face. It felt like water. No, thicker. Blood. Was it what she thought, a bloody tear? She wanted to know now who was there. She felt someone she trusted. Someone who cared for her. She also felt a familiar wrist closing itself against her lips. She tasted blood dripping onto her dry tongue, blood that she had tasted before. "Radius?" She thought. She was sure he was there. She realized she was very thirsty. Why was that? Oh yes, she hadn't drank blood in quite a while. Radius was offering her some of his, she supposed. She heard whispering. She opened her eyes enough to see a blurry outline of the young vampire, his head hanging in what Elizabeth guessed was sadness. Why was he sad? Why was he crying? He was whispering something. It sounded like "Please." and "Drink..."
Elizabeth then gained back her sense. She was starving, and here she was, pondering why Radius had visited her, and he was offering her a chance to stay alive! Weakly, she managed to take a sip of his blood into her mouth and swallow it. Radius's head lifted quickly and he stared at her. "Good job, go on, take another drink.."She heard him say. She swallowed another mouthful. For another hour, Radius fed her his blood. When she could see clearly, even though she was not fully healed from his blood,she pushed his wrist away. "What are you doing?" Radius asked. She took a deep breathe. "You........You fool.......why........what......do you......what are.....you thinking......you let me.......drink a quarter.....of your blood.........look at you.......your so weak, your.....shaking.......you need.........to refill yourself.......before you.....keel over....."She said between long breathes. "I don't care if I do, I'm going to give you all the blood you need Elizabeth!" He said. "I'll...be FINE......You big.......baby.....now go.......and drink.......a full meal.......before...you come back........understand?...."She ordered. He nodded slowly. "All right..I'll be back in just a minute." He hurried out of the room. Elizabeth relaxed on her pillows and smiled. Radius wasn't so bad.
Exactly one minute later Radius returned over full strength with plenty of blood to spare. This time he filled Elizabeth until she was sitting up, breathing regularly, healthy as possible, and as beautiful as ever. Radius had taken a seat next to her on her bed while feeding her.When she finished neither of them said anything. Radius couldn't look at her, she could tell he was ashamed. She actually FELT his feelings. Without warning, she leaned over and wrapped him in a hug. She felt him jump in surprise at the sudden break of silence. "Radius, I'm sorry I said those things.I wasn't thinking straight.....I'm so sorry..."She said, burrying her face in his shoulder to keep her tears in. Radius, she could tell, was even more shocked, and he held her in his arms and returned the hug ten times as much. "YOU'RE sorry? I left you alone in this room f-for three days with no food....you could have died and it would have been all my fault...I-I should have taken more responsibility for you....I was a fool to do such a childish thing...I d-don't even expect you to forgive me....I'm so s-sorry......"They sat and comforted and forgave eachother for the next twenty minutes or so. Radius could feel the fear she had had when she was alone, and it broke his heart. He held her and whispered to her,"I will never do that again.....Whenever you need me, I'll be here.....I will never hurt you or let anyone hurt you......I promise.....I will watch over you until the end of time." Elizabeth cradled herself in his arms. She knew they were both feeling it, so she said the forbidden words. The words that if they were not returned would break a person for life. She whispered to him, her eyes closed from the exaustion of re-filling herself.."I love you." Radius cradled her in his arms. Neither of them were aware of the time or place they were in. He whispered to her, his eyes closed from the exaustion of re-filling her."I love you."
Wha'd ya think? Sorry for all the 'lemon',I think that's what you call it, but it has a great affect in this story and the next book I finished writing. Ok, I know you feel bad for Elizabeth, but what do you think of Radius? If only you could see him through MY head.heeheehee...I LOVE Radius.whad'ya think of him?
