Chapter 6, Blood

"Take a walk down the aisle at the end of the mile. Give your life to my charms in Admiral's Arms."

-Unknown-

There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. The wounds suffered from love and failed friendships don't heal like a human's, but seem to only gape larger. The longing to be mortal returns, a longing for finiteness. A longing for a world where boundaries exist. A world where I no longer have to hide myself, and feed off the life of mortals. But I must remain dead to the world.

I had suffered a time of this longing. I could no longer take the endless years of immortality. I was driven by the madness that threatened to engulf me.

So I went to sleep, hoping that the sounds of the passing years would fade out, and a sort of death might happen. I remained like that for a short fifty years. I lay there, tuning out the world, and soon I became to weak even to rise for blood.

Ah, blood. The only thing that could bring me back and take away the longing and the madness. But as I lay there, I soon forgot the taste of blood. New sounds reached my preternatural ears, and the world didn't sound like the place I had left.

After a year of listening and gaining all the information I could from the minds of those mortals who roamed close to my crypt, and years of this insatiable burning hunger, I slowly dug myself up from my grave.

I was alive again. When this new blood filled my veins, this first victim, I was reborn. My senses more acute than they ever were.

The only other time I have felt that way, was when I met Sirius Black. He brought back that sense of longing. When he was around me, that threatening madness came creeping back.

He changed me in a way I have never known. And I will remain changed and forever indebted to him for the rest of eternity.

...&&&...

Sirius leaned on the wall behind him,as he watched Alessandra deep in thought.

"Alessandra." he began, walking over and sitting down next to her. The light from the moon shown through the open window causing rays of silver moonlight to pour into the room.

He thought Alessandra looked very elegant and mysterious in the moonlight. The silver catching her hair and giving her an irridesent glow.

"I just wanted to say that I don't care if you're a vampire. That doesn't matter to me. I have feelings for you. I know I haven't been here that long, but it's as if I've known you forever. And I'm willing to get to know you. I mean really get to know you."

Alessandra sighed.

"Look Sirius, you could spend a whole lifetime trying to get to know me, and you still won't even begin to really know me." she told him, trying desperately hard not to give into temptation.

"Just give me a chance. Besides I'm safe here. No one will find me." he said moving closer.

"Don't be so sure-" But before she could finish her sentence Sirius' lips were on hers. She deepened the kiss, sliding her tongue into his mouth. The scent of his blood overpowering her. But it wasn't his blood that she wanted, besides she had already fed earlier that night.

They pulled apart, Sirius breathing heavily.

"We should talk." he said huskily.

"Talk away."

"How did you know all that stuff about me? And don't give me any crap like I read it in the paper. You aren't too in tune with the outside world." he said.

"Well since I'm a vampire I have special "powers" or whatever you want to call them. I can read minds, or thoughts I should say. I can feel what your feeling and read your memories."

"Kind of like an empath?" he asked uncertainly.

"Not really. I can't see your aura or anything. I also can move at extreme speeds and heights. And yes, I do drink the blood of the living. That's why you've never seen me eat."

"What can't you do?"

"Well, I can't go into the sun. Fire can destroy me, and I can't fly or turn into a bat." she added, smiling.

"Well that's always good to know. So no Vlad Dracula in Transylvania?" he asked in mock disappointment.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that." she replied, her eyes glinting mischievously.

He didn't respond, and she tried very hard not to read his thoughts.

When he headed to bed that morning, his mind was swimming in all the information he took in.

As he climbed into bed, he half expected to wake up in his cell in Azkaban. Only to find out that this was all just a dream.

So? How was it? I'm sorry for the short chapters! Please review! It will make me feel better! My grandma's in the hospital and I don't know if she's gonna live or not. :( I'm in a really bad mood and I need reviews to cheer me up! Thanks again!
