A Vampire Story
Chapter 8:
Lust- A Horrid Thing
A/N: Well, chapter 8, this one's weird, it's kind of like a staller, I have nothing else because Kokopelli my muse is on strike, don't blame him, he wasn't meant for writing, he's meant for mischief (lol) Well, here goes:
Damian was worn pretty thin. With his promise to help Nikolas however he could even though he didn't know how he wasn't doing too well. All of Nick's thoughts to so call "better" everything would really just make his Kingdom fall apart so he didn't know how to explain that he couldn't make all of those changes to him.
Damian also felt that he had lost Hermione's trust by that little Bill dilemma he had with Nikolas. He hadn't talked to her for the longest time, but he was positive that Nikolas told Hermione all about everything that he said and did.
He knew Nikolas had really abandoned all of his hope for him. His thoughts were all messed up and sometimes he said things that made Nick happy, but then he disagreed later on which both confused and angered his comrade.
He just felt lousy and hungry. He couldn't feed off of the people in the Caves because the vampires, with the exception of the vampiric children, were only allowed that every three months. He knew that he can just go out and hunt on a poor and unsuspecting soul but after what happened with Sirius the thought just made him sick.
Nikloas walked in with his laptop and a bunch vials and test tubes, looking very excited about his new "embarkment to help 'vampire-kind.'" Damian had to chuckle when he saw the look an his friend's face. He looked like he was 10 and it was so adorable, something Damian would never admit out loud. "Are you ready to start the project?" Nikolas inquired as he set everything down.
Damian grinned. "Yup. I see you have everything we need. You do have everything we need, right?" he replied.
Nikolas shook his head and Damian raised his eyebrows, clearly shocked. "Almost, I have to make a second trip and then we'll have everything."
"What do you need to get?" Damian said, surprised that they needed anything else.
"Things to mix that water with."
"Of course. Hurry will you? Oh, and since we're testing on my bottle, can you grab one of yours for me? Because I'm really hungry and I can't really last that much longer." Nikolas could tell. Damian's usually enticing onyx eyes had a steadily growing red rim around them, a sure sign that lust was sure to follow
"Didn't you feed like last month?"
Damian laughed. "Funny thing about us vamps. Sometimes we get very hungry before the time allotted. It's perfectly natural. You're really not supposed to hold off the whole 3 months because you can go crazy but most of us do." Nikolas's eyes shone with understanding and pity.
"Now how about that water?"
"No problem. I'll be back soon."
Nikolas walked into his room and started searching for the water. Damian couldn't hold over much longer and Nikolas knew that Damian might hurt somebody if he didn't get sustenance and soon.
He stopped. He would be just like him someday soon. He would be the one asking someone to help him with his blood lust as he just sat there helplessly. He hated this so much! He needed to get better and soon, but he didn't know if it was possible, didn't know if all of their efforts will be in vain.
He looked at the bottle of water on the floor and winced. This would be his life from now on, forever he would have to live off of humans and live with himself. Then he heard a voice in his head that belonged to Damian: 'Welcome to my world.' it said. Nikolas winced and walked away.
