Winter was laying in his bed with Jerry sitting on her left side. She was covered up and so nervous she was making him nervous. He had never take anyone gently before and a part of him wasn't sure he could do it. He hadn't drank human blood since the man in the club. He had still be sticking to his animal diet. He was worried he'd get carry away and drink her dry.

" You will be gentle?" She asked softly. Jerry nodded.

" You can close your eyes, if you want too." He said.

Winter nodded and her eyes shut right away. Jerry leaned forward and gently turned her head towards him so he'd have better access to her throat. He swept her hair away from her throat then felt his fangs slip into their place. He felt his eyes darken as he picked up on her heartbeat quickly. Her heartbeat was steady and her breath was slow. He placed one hand on bed beside her head then his other hand on the other side of her head. He brought his mouth down to her throat.

He let the tip of his tongue slow drag over her pulse point and felt the shock go through her. He tried not to smile at how fast she got turned on by such a small act. He pulled his lips back and couldn't stop the growl that came out of him. Her being turned on was turning him on. Slowly he sank his fangs into her skin, pulling a gasp from her. Her right hand came up to took a hold of his left wrist. He brought his right hand to her neck and tilted her head up as he started to suck her. His lips brushed against her skin and his eyes closed.

He sucked slowly from her vein, feeling her warm blood move through his body. She tighten her hold on him and he used their bond to make sure she wasn't in pain. He felt shock move through him suddenly. She wasn't nervous anymore, she wasn't in pain, she was excited and getting more turned on. He groaned and the feeling shot straight down her. She arched her back slightly and moaned, surprising him even more.

He tighten his hold on her neck and the mattress as he sucked. He stayed attached to her neck, feeling her flow down him until her hold on his wrist started to loosen. He slowed down until her hand fell from him completely. He opened his eyes and pulled away from her. Her eyes were closed and she was taking deep breaths. Jerry leaned back down and lightly licked her tiny wounds. He sat up and stared down at her. He frowned then he stood up. He grabbed his blankets and tucked them around her gentl, making her sighed in her sleep. He turned and left his room quickly, turning the light out and shutting the door behind him.

Something was happening to him and he wasn't sure what it was or how to handle it. He dug his phone out of his pocket as he started down his hallway. He had two numbers in his phone, hers and his marker's. His marker was the only vampire he stayed in contact with. He couldn't stay away from him if he wanted too. Vampires were drawn to their makers as their markers were drawn to their children.

" Hello, Son." Raphel's voice set Jerry at ease right away. He sighed as he walked down the stairs.

" Hello, Raphel." He said.

" You are troubled, Alastair." Raphel said. Jerry had changed his name over the years. He had been born Alastair and had changed his name seven times during his lifetime.

" I am. I have become involved with a human." Jerry said. He moved through his house until he came to his couch.

" I wondered when that would happen. You are the last of my children to fall for a human." Raphel said.

" She is dying and I don't know what to do." Jerry admitted. He all but collapsed onto his couch.

" They are all dying." His maker said. Jerry leaned his head back and closed his eyes.

" No, she is ill. She had cancer and I can feel her dying. Every week her pain increases and spreads to new places. Every week she is getting closer to death and farther from me." He said.

" Have you offered to turn her?"

" Yes. Many times. I don't think she understands why I ask. I think she thinks I am playing with her when I ask, that I ask her so I can have sex with her. But it is more than that. She does not want to be one of us. She has had a tough life and is worried her afterlife will be just as disappointing." Jerry said.

" You have a few choices, my son. First, you can turn her without her permission but understand that she may wake and hate you for it. Second, you could convince her to let you turn her and if anyone could convince someone it's you. Third, you could watch her die. It is going to be a painful, slow death as it is with cancer. Whatever you choose it has to be something you can live with." Raphel said.

" I don't know how to ease her pain. She isn't sleeping well from it. I drank from her tonight, just enough to make her sleep but when she wakes, the pain will be back." He said.

" You can try and glamour her into thinking there is no pain but even that will not hold for long." His night father explained. " It is not easy to lose your human pet."

" She isn't my pet. We aren't sleeping together. We haven't even kissed or held hands. We are friends, she calls me Jay." Jerry said as he thought of her laying in his bed. He sighed. " This is why I always looked at them as my food."

" I told you thousands of years ago you would find a human who would steal your undead heart. As much as we think it won't happen to us, it always does. No matter how old we get, we will always hold onto the human need for others but I must say, you have held out the longest." Raphel said. Jerry sighed and sat up straight. He opened his eyes.

" I didn't mean for this to happen. She asked me to kill her. She knows she is dying and wants to do it on her terms. That fascinated me. It drew me into her and the more I learned about her, the more I started to feel her physical pain..." He stopped talking as he sighed again.

" The more you want to help her, to be with her." Raphel finished. " She had cracked you. You are the most animal of all my children, the most wild. You embraced your vampire side so completely that I often wondered if there was any human part left in you at all. I am happy at what I am hearing from you." He could almost hear the smile in his marker's voice. " On a lighter note, I am to married." Jerry smiled.

" What is this, number 64?" Jerry asked. Raphel laughed.

" Try 364. Unlike you, I have never liked to be alone." He said.

" Then congrads are in order." Jerry said. It was Raphel's turn to sigh.

" In the hour of her death, I will come to you, no matter what. You make the call to me and I will be there. You do not have to go through her death alone, you shouldn't. When you lose your first human it is always hard."

" Thank you, Father." Jerry said.

When Jerry got off the phone with his marker he couldn't help but feel better. He still wasn't sure what to do but he was feeling better. He set his phone down and stood up. He had only gotten a phone to appear more normal but now he loved it. It was the fastest way he had to get a hold of his marker. With just a phone call he could hear Raphel's voice and unload.

Jerry started up the stairs and went into his room again. He took his shoes off as he watched her. She was laying on her back with her head still turned to the left. He walked over to his bed and picked up the blanket. He slipped in and over to her. As carefully as he could, he gathered her to him. She whined slightly at the same time he felt a sharp pain move through his ribs. He sucked in his breath but settled her into a position that took the pain away. He would feel her as she started to wake and would be out of the bed before she even knew he had been there.

Winter's eyes fluttered opened slowly. She was laying half on her stomach and half on her right side. She had slept good for the first time in weeks but she still felt tired. She sighed and carefully rolled over. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times. For a second she had forgotten where she was. She closed her eyes again and sighed.

" Sleep good?" Jerry's voice startled her. She opened her eyes and looked towards the door where he was standing.

" I think so but I'm still tired." She asked. Jerry nodded.

" That's from the blood lost. Why don't you get up and take a shower? It might make you feel better. When you're ready I will order you something to eat but you will have to open the door." He said as he came forward.

" What time is it?" Winter asked.

" It's ten in the morning. You have been asleep for almost 12 hours." She laid back down and shook her head.

" I don't want to eat. I just want to sleep." She muttered.

" You have to eat. That's how you will rebuild your strength now come up and get up. You're getting your nastiness all over my bed." He said with a smile. Winter smiled and shook her head again.

" You're nasty." She said. The mattress moved as he sat down beside her.

" Really, Winter? That was all you had for me? You're better than that and you know it." He said. She opened her eyes and looked up at him.

" What do you want from me, blood drinker? You're a soul less fiend." He laughed.

" That's better. Now get up and take a shower. It will perk you up but be careful. You are going to feel weak." He tilted his head as his smile turned into a cocky grin. " Maybe I better help you in the shower."

" It always comes back to sex, doesn't it?" Winter asked.
