Beauty and the Beast
Ethereal Encounter
Kei stared at the annoying little boy called Sho. In return, the boy stared at him. At that moment, Kei felt contempt and anger. Why had he let this child carry him off? Was it because he didn't actually want to die? Yes, he was a coward; he didn't want to live this way but he didn't' want to die in the sun alone either. Selfish, he was completely selfish. He wanted to live, not as a vampire but a human.
Sho did not look scared just yet. Kei's eyes never left this boy, the vampire's lips dripping with venomous blood, a body dead under him. He anticipated Sho's fear but instead it was Kei who was afraid, strangely frightened by the little boy's sudden brilliant smile. Kei forgot how to swallow and so more red liquid trailed down, bright crimson lines smearing his chin, making him look more like the blood thirsty animal that he was.
The boy continued to smile. Was he mocking him? Kei felt a sudden crave to sink his teeth into the boy's neck when he realized it was not because he felt the will of taking the vulnerable life but a need of blood overwhelming his senses. His body fell on fire. He didn't feel hunger, but he wanted blood, the blood of that boy's.
Kei's fangs hurt him in a way that he thought he would go mad if he couldn't sink his teeth into the soft white skin. His body could not relax. His blacked heart beat with desire, so anew and painful.
It was frightening. This feeling so profound was pleasurably nauseating. He was disgusted at the same time.
But alas, Kei smiled back at this kid who was not showing a bit of fear towards him. And so at that exact moment Kei felt happy, a piece of him found, a friend. He resolved unconsciously to stay by his side forever...
