Chapter 6

Hunger

Raven's POV

I was in my room, pacing. These past few nights have been too much. I meet Zach, he turns me into a vampire, and now he thinks he can just tease me and soon think I'll forgive him after? I sighed, and stood up, only to fall to the floor. It felt like all my strength was being drained. I stood up, unsteadily, and everything seemed so dizzy, I fell back to the floor ruinously. I tried to force myself up again, but my body wouldn't listen. I started to drag myself to my door. My eyes steamed up, my stomach withering in pain.

"Zach." I spoke in a whisper...

... Then... Everything went black...

~.~

A scent filled my nose. Familiar and comforting. My eyes opened, and I found myself in a bed, in a room, not mine. Zach was sitting next to me. He looked at me with worried eyes.

"I told you, you couldn't go on this way without feeding yourself." He said.

I looked at him, and saw some blood stains on his wrists. He fed me with his blood again... Instinctively, my hand went to my lips, the finger tips barely touching. I could still feel the taste of life Zach gave me. Not only did his beautiful green eyes show his concern for me, but I could sense it. I tried to sit up, but I couldn't, I was still weak.

I looked at the clock, it was late. I wasn't too worried, the others knew how long I stayed in my room. Though, it is clear to that I couldn't go on this way, I couldn't continue stealing Zach's blood. But... I don't want to kill either.

"Zach... I... Killing... I can't do that... And..." I couldn't keep my words straight.

Zach was... hot. I felt deeply attached to him, enough to feel scared.

He looked relieved. "It's not nessecary to kill to kill your prey. Also, I don't mind you feeding off my blood, besides, I fed you several times." He said.

"Thank you." I said softly. If it wasn't for Zach I would be dead by now. "Teach me. How do I learn to Fred without killing someone? Also, is it not likely to create other vampires?"

I knew I couldn't hide from him that I still can't accept fully of my new nature. I'm a vampire now, I know it, but the idea of having to drink the blood of others to feed myself, brings me an unsettling feeling. I may be a vampire, but I'm still a hero, a Titan.

"Thanks to a vampire's superhuman speed, you will have no problem in stealthily surprising your prey." Zach explained.

"So what? I'll be as fast as the Flash?" I asked sarcastically.

Zach snickered. "Perhaps. I suggest when you but your prey, bite them just above the collarbone, not the neck. So you can avoid killing them inadvertently." He responded.

"Well isn't that settling." I said dryly.

He looked at me with unreadable eyes. "When you feel their heartbeat slowing down, stop, otherwise, you will kill them. Also, to turn a person into a vampire, in addition to drink their blood, they have to drink yours." He then explained.

Just then, images of that night run through my mind, when Zach made me a vampire. It seemed like very long ago.

"We have more night time to spend together, I'll be close to you while you try to feed yourself." Zach said. "Do you feel up to try?"

"Yes." I answered, even though I don't know how I can do harm to someone who does not deserve it.

Zach nodded, and in a moment, we go out the window, into the arms of the night...

Hope this was a good enough update:) Even if it's short.
