A/N: Sorry to any of you who read this before I re-posted it! I uhhh kinda
forgot to add my A/N and edit a couple of words so here it is again.
Disclaimer: The usual gooblydy gook and also I need to mention Anne Rice is the author of the Vampire Chronicals sometimes reffered to as the Vampire Lestat series.
"Hey, don't kick me."
"I didn't kick you." I muttered and tried to go back to sleep.
"Did too." He persisted playfully.
"Nif!"
"What?"
"S'an acronym means nothing is fair."
"Are you awake yet?" He asked a minute later.
"I'm trying not to be but you insist on talking to me now shut up or I will kick you."
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Yes, now don't remind me I'm trying to sleep." He fluttered the tips of his fingers against my stomach.
"Hey! That tickles." I said laughing. "Ok. Ok. I'm awake you can stop now." I opened my eyes and looked up at him. He smiled flashing his fangs at me. I noticed his necklace again. I lifted my hand up to it and touched the warm silver beads. "What does Sanguinenecare mean?"
"Why?" He asked clearly surprised.
"It says it on your necklace." He brought his hand unconsciously up to his neck and touched his fingers to the silver beads. "So what's it mean?"
"You should know you said you read Latin." I shook my head.
"I do but not this early in the morning."
"Sanguine Necare. Sanguine is the violent form of bloody and Necare is the violent form of death. So," He said and licked his lips. "It means 'Bloody death' in the most violent way possible." I snorted in amusement.
"Figures. Very Vampirish."
"Actually I had it before I died." He laughed. "It was the reason I died in fact."
"That's interesting."
"Isn't it though? That I was Changed for such a stupid reason?"
"What you mean your –what- sire (?) Changed you into a Vampire on a whim?"
"Yep. Don't you read Jessica's books? I mean Ash Night? I've been told they're selling of the charts just like Anne Rice's books when they first came out."
"Ash Night? Oh you mean the girl who wrote Dark Flame and Tiger, Tiger and the other books?"
"Yes, Jessica."
"Of course I've read them but they're fiction." I pointed out.
"They're not. Tiger, Tiger is about Risika and Aubrey. And Dark Flame is the biography of Aubrey's little known unlife."
"Ah Ha! I knew I recognized Risika's name."
"Any way my point is that most Vampires are made what they are for stupid reasons. Love. Hate. On a whim. Jessica actually chose to be a Vampire but that's a long story." He looked past me at the curtains, which were opening slowly of their own accord.
"How do you do that?" He focused on me and smiled.
"That's for me to know and you to guess." He said still smiling. I yawned at him and got up. I clenched my teeth as I walked to the bathroom because every step was torture. I closed the door behind me and removed my nightgown. I yawned mightily and stepped into the shower. I didn't realize how great the pain in my head was until suddenly it eased away. I put on light blue capris and a sapphire blue baby-T. I opened the door of my bathroom to find Taber changed and his face flush with blood standing and waiting for me. I was still afraid. I felt my stomach twist into knots.
"Don't be afraid Angel." He said walking towards me a slight smile making him look even more strikingly hansom than usual. "We've done this before it doesn't hurt."
"You've also drunk my blood before and that hurt a lot." I said defensively crossing my arms over my chest as he got within three feet of me. He stopped suddenly and mimicked my posture. I uncrossed my arms and held them stiffly at my sides. He of course knowing what I was thinking only seconds after I thought it did the same simultaneously. I growled in annoyance and he growled back a very deep growl it sounded funny clashing against my soprano. I laughed and he laughed back. My annoyance came crashing back.
"Quit it." I ordered.
"Quit what?" He asked innocently. I took a step in his direction and swung aiming for his jaw. He caught my hand and drew me to him. "You should know by now that you couldn't touch me unless I let you." He said smugly. I barred my teeth at him deciding not to dignify his remark with an answer. He mimicked me and drew his lip back away from his teeth to expose his vicious fangs.
"You wouldn't dare." I warned him. "Not unless I let you."
"You're forgetting something."
"And what would that be, Taber?" He grinned down at me.
"You never said I couldn't drink from you before I let you have some of my blood. Besides think of it as trading. Your blood for mine."
"But now you're forgetting something Taber. You've already has more than your fair share of my blood for this little exchange."
"I'm a Vampire. Vampires don't play fair." He told me and bent his head to my neck. Suddenly horrified I kneed him in the groin and jumped away from him. I was free for no more than a moment as he had recovered and caught hold of me again in the span of seconds. He had hold of both my wrists and was forcing me backward. I could do nothing but stumble blindly. I hit a wall and realized I was stuck. He held my hands together above my head in one of his hands. His other hand was wrapped around the back of my neck and he'd pinned my legs to the wall with his own so I couldn't kick him. He bent his head and kissed me before lowering his head even more to my neck. "You have my word." He whispered before piercing my corrotted artery with his canines. I felt a floating sensation as though I was far away from my body my worries my life. Ah. I sighed. The peace of this floating was intoxicating. I drifted back into awareness to find myself on slumped forward sitting on the floor. Taber picked me up and set me down in his lap. He drew a knife from a black leather sheath and brought it across the base of his neck making a cut. I licked my lips and leaned forward to drink his blood. His thick sweet blood flowing into my mouth was even better than the floating sensation but he pushed me away from him and even as I struggled to get near him again the wound closed. I relaxed into his arms and this time I didn't fall into unconsciousness. I could feel every beat of my heart. Over and over and over it sounded as a bass drum being beaten right in my ear. Bang. Bang. Bang.
"Why can I hear my heart?"
"I can always hear your heart." I glanced up at him but had to do a double take. He looked infinitely different and yet stagnantly the same. I realized what it was. I could make out the exact structure of his face beneath the skin could see his teeth though his mouth was closed and I could make out each individual hair on his jaw.
"You look funny." I murmured. He smiled down at me.
"You're only seeing as I see. It will pass."
"I don't want it to pass. I want to see everything all over again the way I see it now."
"When you become a Vampire you can do that my Angel."
"You forgot beautiful."
"My beautiful Angel."
"Why did you say 'when I become a Vampire?" I said listening to my words more than paying attention to what I was saying. He chuckled softly and kissed my forehead.
"Because, Angel, you'll become a Vampire eventually. I know you will."
"You can't see the future. I don't want to be a Vampire. I could be yours for eternity I wouldn't mind." He laughed really hard at this.
"You're funny Angel." I looked at him darkly. "Oh you might be content now." He explained quickly. "But in a year a decade a century you won't be as happy to stay here. You'll tire of me and blood-sickness and the constant coming and going of servants. You'll tire of seeing people grow old all around you. You'll tire of being sixteen. You'll tire of bickering with me. Yes beautiful eventually you'll tire of my kisses and belonging to me." He smiled tenderly, something I didn't think he was capable of, and continued. "When that day comes I'll know. You might not and you might fight against it. Against me but your death is inevitable. And when you wake to your unlife you'll know I was right."
"I don't want to talk about this." I said shifting in his arms.
"Ok." He placed kisses along my jaw and a shiver ran down my spine at this new experience. He kissed down my neck and nibbled on my collarbone.
"Mmmm..."
"Like that do you?" He asked laughter evident in his voice as he spoke.
"Yes." I could tell he was smiling and was proven correct when he lifted his head ever so briefly before descending upon my mouth. He bit my lip and I gasped at the pain his sharp teeth caused. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and massaged it against mine. I let my eyes flutter closed. He traced my lips with his tongue and moved his head away from mine. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. He jumped up suddenly pulling me with him. He bent his head and kissed me again. It wasn't until the backs of my knees hit something that I realized I'd been shuffling backward. Taber put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me backwards onto my bed. He looked down at me for a moment with eyes glazed over and unreadable. He flashed a smile at me before starting to kiss me again. He slid his hands down my sides to the edge of my shirt. He moved his hands up my stomach my shirt ridding up to reveal naturally pale skin. He tugged at the fabric of my shirt impatiently trying to get it off. He gave up and ripped it easily off me. "Hey." I protested. He just grinned before murmuring a five-word reply.
"I can buy you more." He fumbled cursing with the clasp of my bra. I reached down and opened it easily. He tossed it carelessly away and bowed his head to my chest to give my breast an experimental lick. Suddenly it hit me what was happening. We were going to have sex. My brain couldn't seem to process that thought so it did the only thing it could in my defense; it shut down.
jega: yeah Taber really seems the cuddling type doesn't he? snickers yeah my beta thought that blood sickness was especially brilliant... my school gets out the 10th
me: let loose their feelings sorry to disappoint I'm sure Taber would just love to ahh but Angel has other things to do giggles then him...ohhh i don't plan to stop writing its my desire to post that might die if I don't get reviews
Nite-Huintress: as much as I like your love pentangle(?) idea I think my story is headed in another direction for the time being but I LOOOOVE feedback like that it makes me feel like my reviewers will like my story better because they are involved ya know?
Clavel: ohhh new reviewer person! ummm well Taber is that bad it's just he's nicer I guess around Angel...I don't know why exactly myself yet but you'll find out eventually...
Kaitie-321" I'm your favorite authoress? YEAH! I'll just have to update some more to keep it that way huh? grins
A/N: Bwahahahahahahahahahaha! Ok. There was no point in that. My beta says I'm a horrible tease. I don't care. They will have sex eventually. I give you my word on that. Review or Flame! (--)
A/N2: Guess what? I got a record number of reviews this time. Do you know how happy that makes me? VERY! It also taught me a lesson; threats work. So with that in mind; NO UPDATES UNTIL I GRADUATE UNLESS I GET REVIEWS!
