Chapter 3-
"I can't get enough…I don't know how much longer I can last without…a taste…"
Vampire!
I trembled, mouth hanging open from shock. In movies the victims died from one bite!
He stuck his tongue out-"No no no no no-" -and slowly licked the inside. I tried to pull my hand away but he had a steel grip, I didn't have an affect, and he tightened it.
"Ah-ow!"
"Be good, and I'll be good to you understand?" He can kill me at any second, it would be so easy for him. Knowing that made my heart try to jump out of me. I shook my head furiously, not wanting this, wanting to be home.
"Please don't kill me, please!"
"I won't, I promise but…" With his free hand, he reached out touched the left side of my side. Ice cold.
"Just be good for me okay? And I'll try not to hurt you. I truly don't want to but when you fight back...it's exciting, like a hunt. It wakes the beast inside me and I may not be able to control myself. If I did kill you I would regret it for the rest of my already miserable existence…" He sighed heavily, hanging his head, then let me go, continuing to drive.
"…weren't you…about to d-drink from me?" I asked.
"No. I don't want to do it out here but soon. Very soon." He said, like he couldn't wait. His hands tightened around the steering wheel.
"If…you're not going to kill me then…what are you going to do with me?" He seemed to ignore me.
"I think I deserve to know considering you took me across the border and continue to drive north apparently." He must be trying to avoid getting caught by police, otherwise why Canada?
"You're the prisoner, not the captor." He said, purposely making the bad joke and obviously hating the style of humor at the same time.
"Eat." He ordered, picking up the bag of food and dropping it on my lap. I didn't make a move to open it but my stomach growled. It smelled good, like an old-fashion diner.
"My Dad knows I wouldn't have run off so you bet he's interrogating your family." I told him, forking some hashbrowns. I then realized something.
"I know."
"Your entire family are vampires!" He didn't react.
"They're not…going to kill anyone to hide your tracks are they?"
"No they're…vegetarian. They don't drink human blood, most of them never have."
"Did…you?"
"…yes." He said, shamefully. I let it sink in.
"They were rapists and killers that haven't been caught yet. I thought it was fine but after a while…they're people too."
"…I can't-I can't imagine what it's like to…drink it all." I squirmed.
"Is that what bothers you?"
"Well…I just don't think anyone like that is sorry for what they've done. The world wants them gone so…but if your family don't drink human blood then what do they drink?"
"Animal's. Bears, mountain lions, wild rabbits, squirrels. We try not to affect the ecosystem and to not fall into temptation."
"…what made you fall?"
"You did. I hate you and I'm mad; I've been doing so well since that dark time but then you came along and ruined it you very much."
"I didn't do anything to you."
"No, you can't help it, it's not even your fault for smelling the way you do. But…I hate you. I might lose my family." He added, sighing at the last part. He sounded like a drug addict mad at the world for life not being easy. He must be mad at the vampire nature, his body, for making him live like this.
"If you know that then why did you stuff me in your car in the first place? You know you can bring me back and everything will be alright; I won't tell them-"
"No so fast." He laughed.
"You're mine now."
"So you're just going to use me like a blood bank."
"Since I'm already going to hell. And you're going to like it." He said, grinning wickedly. That was scary. He was…dangerous and sexual, making him more dangerous. Heat rushed into my cheeks.
He close his eyes and took a deep breath in.
"Mmm…delicious." He said looking at my rapidly rising and falling chest.
"Eat faster, your food is getting cold. And finish it all; you'll need it."
I did as he said, the bacon and eggs reminding me of Charlie. How was he doing? He must be so worried. I couldn't even imagine my mother; dad definitely told her. Tears welled up and I did my best fighting them back, the forest we were driving through becoming walls of green.
"Why are you crying."
"Why do you care."
"It's not that I don't-We need to set some ground rules and that's what we're going to do right now." He said, determined to keep me 'in line'.
"There will be no crying, no talking, unless spoking to, no questions, no answers if I don't feel like it no matter how many times you ask." It sounded to me it was rules intended for himself.
"You're going to do exactly as I say and pretend you're my girlfriend and we're on holiday understand?" He said, eyes black. When his eyes are black I really shouldn't cause trouble.
"You better be a good actress." I wiped the tears away, sniffing, trying to get myself together. At the end of the road was a Cabin Inn. Are we finally stopping?
"Let's go." He practically pulled me out of the car.
"Whatch where you're going." He growled when almost fell.
"If you get a cut, god help you." He put his arm around my waist and pushed me forward. It was sunny but the sun didn't shine down because of the tall trees and there was a slight breeze. The bell atached to the door rang as we came in.
"Hi, how ya doin', how can I help you?" Said the mature woman behind the counter. I looked around. Park is huge…!
"Well thank you. Do you have any vacancies?" I looked from the map to the brochures. Welcome to Elk Island National Park, Edmonton. I made a mental note of that.
"We sure do. Two bed or a one bed?"
"One." I looked at him. He had a pleasant smile on his face like he was happy.
"Alrighty, I need to see some ID please before registering you."
"No problem. It'll be passports since we're only here for the weekend." He said as he pulled them out.
"Ah, a little holiday for you two love birds eh?"
"A happy wife is a happy life." He nudged me. I let out an awkward laugh.
"You have quite the looker," She said to me.
"Aren't I lucky."
"Here are your keys and everything's been turned on. The appliances are all in good condition though food isn't included."
"I understand, thank you very much."
"Thank you."
"It'll be a miracle if anyone marries you." I said to myself as soon as we were out.
"I know. Get in the car." He waited until I got in. I didn't think he'd hear me, let alone agree. Then again, his parents were married and his siblings were together.
Thanks Oopsadaze for the fix of Review 'heroin' XD
