A/N: This story is finally back. I got some inspiration and had to write
it. Sorry for the wait. Now back to writing 'Storm'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What should I do? I let you walk away from me a second time and now here I stand, three days after catching only a glimpse of you, staring blankly at my own reflection. I can see the emptiness and the blood lust in my eyes. I need to take a walk.
The lake is beautiful in the pre-dawn twilight. Why didn't I stop him? I feel like a complete idiot, I let my emotions and my blood lust control me and now I have nothing. Is that Li, what is he doing out here? "Hey Li, what are you doing out here at this hour?" I ask while approaching him.
He looks at me and I feel the blood lust start to take over. He answers, "Just thinking about Rei, where he could be and what he could be doing". I nod and gesture for him to sit down with me, so we can talk. We sit and stare at the water, I move a little bit closer to him without him noticing. I can feel the heat of his body and I can see the artery in his neck pulse with the blood.
I move even closer, putting my arm around him, and smelling his body. He tries to remove my arm from around his waist, but I won't allow it. He says, "Kai, let go of me". I have no control over my actions now; the blood lust has completely taken over. I lean into him and I kiss him. I quickly move to his throat and begin kissing it and then licking it gently. He is trying to push me away, but I hold him tight against my body.
I start to suck on his skin just above his left collarbone; I push him to the ground as I continue to suck at his throat. I nip at his neck and he tries harder to push me away. I gently bite down on his throat and then I hear a growl. I know it is not my own and I would have felt the vibration from Li's throat. I keep hold of him as I look up to see Mariah standing there ready to attack me.
I look her in the eye as she growls at me again. I silently refuse to give up my prey. She snarls at me and then rushes me. She pushes me off Li and onto the ground, holding me down with her body weight. Li pulls her off me and says, "I understand why you tried to bite me, but it is your own fault that Rei left. Do not try that again. What if Rei had been here and seen you doing that, do you think he would be as understanding as we?"
I growl and stalk away. I need some blood right now, I blew that opportunity, what do I do now. I hear them walk away and I make my way into the woods. I see nothing as I walk through the forest and I bump into someone. I hear their velvety smooth voice say, "I was just coming to see you Kai, you didn't need to run to me". I look up from my position on the ground and see a set of two azure eyes, ivory skin, and blood red hair. He is smirking at me, I say, "Well help me up, you idiot".
He extends his hand and I take it, standing up. "What are you really doing here, Tala?" I ask him. He looks at me a little shocked and says, "I came to see you, I haven't heard anything in a while and became worried". I roll my eyes at him and mumble, "Yeah right, sure, I totally believe that". With his sharp hearing I knew he would hear me, he shoves me and then says, "Well you should it is the truth. Have I ever lied to you before?"
"Yes, plenty of times" I tell him and he asks, "When?" I start laughing, clap my hand on his shoulder, and lead him to the cabin. As we approach the cabin, Max comes out of it and sees Tala. "What is he doing here?" he asks me. I shrug and say, "Found him in the woods, he followed me after I gave him some food, may I keep him?" Tala and I both burst out laughing and Max says, "Good to see you in such good spirits, heck it is good to you see you out of that room".
Tala looks at me suspiciously for a second before Max pulls us both into the cabin. Max yells, "Tala is here and Kai is out of his room". Tala looks at me with suspicion again. I give him a look that says I will explain later. Tyson comes into the living room and says, "Already moved on, I'm not surprised. Rei was too good for you anyway. I'm glad he left you, vampire".
Tala pulls me close to him and asks me, "What is he talking about, Kai?" I send Tyson a glare and I whisper to Tala, "I'll explain it all to you, my friend". I grab his arm and lead him to my room, away from the accusatory and hate-filled looks. "They are getting harder to deal with now that Rei is gone. He helped keep the peace, but if it weren't for him they wouldn't know about me being a vampire," I tell him slowly. Tala looks at me with questions in his eyes and he wouldn't leave me be until I told him everything.
