Chapter 5
Chi looked up from the stove and shut it off. "What did you just say?" She asked.
Ash looked up. "Circle Daybreak is going to come meet wherever we are in two days," He said.
"Circle Daybreak?" Chi asked, confused.
"Circle Daybreak is an organization of people who want to help Night People and humans get along. A lot of people there are soulmates. But Circle Daybreak has practically the whole Night World against them, so that's a catch." Ash explained.
"Are… are you two part of this Circle Daybreak?" Chi asked in a soft and wistful voice.
"Yeah, but we're not alone. There's lots of members, even humans." Skye answered, then asked, "Why?"
"Um Ash, could you give us some time alone?" Chi asked gently.
"Sure, you've got all the time in the world," Ash replied in a sarcastic voice, and walked out towards the living room.
"I… want you… to… make me into a vampire," Chi told Skye in a gentle and firm voice.
Skye gently laid her down on her bed, tilted her head slightly back, exposing her neck, and bit gently.
It felt pleasant enough, not painful and it didn't hurt. But she felt… exposed to Skye.
It was as if she could read his mind, as if she were inside him, sensing his every thought, as if he were really talking to her, except he wasn't.
Skye? Chi asked, telepathically.
Chi. We can communicate telepathically, without using words. I never thought of it before, but I love you. Ever since you first moved here, to Crystal Fountain, Skye told her using thought.
Me too. How do I become a vampire, anyways? Chi asked.
We exchange blood. Three times should do it, but not all at once, or else you would lose a lot of blood, and you might die. It'll take about three days, so I'll see you three days straight and onward, all right?
And also, there are two types of vampires. Lamia (LAY-mee-uh), born vampires, and made vampires. I'm a lamia and you're going to be a made vampire. Lamia can stop aging any time they want, and made vampires stop aging as soon as they are made. Skye asked.
So basically, you and Ash can stay here for the three days, if you want to. Ginger and I don't mind company, but I think I've heard of the Night World before, except I can't remember. Anyhow, after this is over, I'll go take a walk in the park. Chi said.
No. You're going to rest, because exchanging blood will make you dizzy and maybe tired. And I'll think about your offer, you know, I'll talk to Ash about it, Skye replied, lifting his head away from her neck and taking out her wooden dagger, he made a small scratch at the base of his throat, saying, "I have to give you back what I took,"
He guided her head to his neck and she placed her lips on his neck, drinking blood, except that it didn't taste like blood at all. It tasted like a potion meant to give life, like an elixir.
When he gently detached her, she made to get up, but Skye gave a signal, telling her to lie down, and she obeyed.
Skye lifted her onto her bed, and almost instantly, she fell asleep.
