The first week was spend doing little more then feeding from each other and having sex. Vampires recovered their blood lost almost right away so he was feeding her twice a day and they were having sex twice a day. He tried to teach her how to use some of her new senses. She had tried to use her new speed but, like most baby vampires, she was clumsy. She would knock things over or tumble down the stairs. Normally this stage was when he'd get annoy and leave his night child, having never completed the bonding process but with her, he'd laugh. She'd sit at the bottom of the stairs, slightly stunned for a few minutes before she'd get up and start running around his house again.
The second week he decided to teach her how to feed off of some thing living. He had ordered her to stay in his room then he went out and caught them a rabbit. He brought it into their house and to their room. They were sitting on the floor together. His legs were spread and she was sitting in between them with her back against his chest. He had his arms around her with the rabbit in his hands. He took one of her hands and started running it around the rabbit's fur.
" You must find where the heart beat is the strongest other then where the heart is located." He told her. " When you find that spot then you know where to bite." She calmly withdrew her hands from the rabbit and started to turn in his arms.
" I want to feed from you." She said, making him grin.
" I'd rather you feed from me to but there are things you must learn, my mate." He said as she came to his neck.
" I want to learn more about you." She said a second before he felt her fangs against his skin.
" This is important, my mate." He said but his eyes were already closing and his hold of the rabbit was loosen.
" So is my need for you." Winter said.
He growled and let go of the animal completely when her fangs went into his neck. Resisting her and her sexual needs was not an option for him. He let her push him to his back while he undid his pants. He pulled himself out then made quick work of her pants. She rode him hard and fast while she fed, bring their release quickly. Her body trembled and her back arched like a cat as she came on top of him. His own fangs dug into her when his own orgasm washed over him.
Afterwards he taught her how to zone in on the rabbit's heartbeat. He showed her how to track it, moving quickly and quietly until they found it. He watched with his hands on his hips and pride on his face when she caught it. She yanked the rabbit up and sank her teeth into it's neck. Her eyes were shut when she faced him. Both her hands were holding the rabbit to her mouth as she sucked hard.
" You have sucked it dry, Winter." He said. Her eyes opened then and she let the animal fall to the floor. She smiled as she ran her tongue over her bloodied lips.
" I want to suck you dry." She hissed out.
" When ever you want, I am your slave. I am here but to serve you, my mate." Jerry said with a grin.
His mate was just like him. Her want for sex and sexual contact and blood was as big as his. She was his perfect match. She walked over the rabbit like it was nothing. When she reached him, she sank to her knees and undid his pants. His hands went into her hair while she took him into her mouth. His head went back and his eyes closed as she worked on him. His own fangs descended and he growled into the air. When she had finished him off, he pulled her up and slammed her against the wall behind her. He was quick to replay the favor, bring her in minutes and loving the way she trembled in his mouth.
By the fourth week she was an excellent tracker and could tell him when an animal or human came close to their house. She had developed a taste for rabbits so he caught them the most for her. She had learned to control her speed so they were working on their wordless communication. He taught her how to use their bond to send him messages and feelings. He would hide in the house and wait for her to find him, using only their blood bond. When she found him, she'd become so excited that they would have sex where they were.
By week five he noticed her eyes were starting to change. They were almost completely back to normal. When a vampire was hungry or getting ready to feed, their eyes would darken until they went black. A new vampire's eyes were completely black for the first six weeks. By the middle of the week five, her beautiful hazel eyes were almost back.
She still slept during the day and would do so, for at least her first couple hundred years. He would watch TV or watch her during that time. He had contacted some places and had found them a place to live in Washington. Their new house had been brought and moving plans were being made. He was eager to leave the neighborhood so he could take her out into the world.
At the end of week six, when she woke, he was downstairs. He knew something was wrong the minute her eyes opened. He stood up and frowned. When she woke before her emotions and needs had always been the same. She'd want to feed and have sex. At the start of week six she had been waking with some uncertainly which he chalked up to her personally returning. The uncertainly would leave her as soon as he saw her. That night, as he moved up the stairs, he sent her reassuring thoughts through their bond but it was doing little to calm her. He quicken his pace to his room so he could see what was upsetting her.
He pushed opened the bedroom door but found their bed empty. He followed their blood bond through the room and into their bathroom. She was standing, looking at herself in the mirror. Her fangs were descended and she was touching them. When she noticed him, she looked at him with tears in her completely hazel eyes.
" What have you done to me?" She asked.
" I changed you, I saved you." Jerry said softly. Winter shook her head as she backed away from him.
" Look at me. I'm a monster." She said. He shook his head.
" No, you are beautiful." He said.
" This isn't what I wanted. I told you that. I told you I wanted to die." She said.
" I saved you." Jerry said.
" No, you doomed me." Winter said.
" I know what you wanted but when the time came, I couldn't just stand by and let you die. I didn't have it in me." He said.
" So you changed me without my permission." She cried.
Reassuring feelings were coming through his bond with his maker. Raphel was feeling Jerry's pain and trying to comfort him. Jerry knew of some night children that rejected their markers at the six week mark. Those night child often choose to end their afterlives by going into the sun. He had put those stories out of his mind, telling himself she would not feel that way. He told himself their mating was strong and would pull her through any regret she might have.
" I cared about you too much to lose you. I agree to kill you before I got to know you. Once I got close to you, I...I just couldn't lose you." Jerry tried to explain.
" And now I will have to kill people to live." Winter panicked. " I told you before my human life sucked. I was ready for it to end and now I have this new life that I never wanted! Did you not think about what I might want!"
" I thought you wanted to be with me too. I felt you did through our bond before you died."
" Yeah, you did. I regretted that I was dying because I couldn't be with you. I wanted to be with you but I accepted that that would not happen." Jerry smiled then as she backed herself against the bathroom wall.
" And now you are. Now we can be together forever. We have mated, you are my wife and I am your husband." Jerry said. Winter shook her head.
" You didn't ask me first." She said. " You took away my freedom and choice." Jerry took a deep breath and stood up straight. She just needed some time to adjust and he would give her that time.
" I did and I am sorry but I don't regret it. I couldn't let you die. When I saw you laying in that hospital bed I couldn't let it happen. Maybe I was weak but I changed you to save you." He said.
" This isn't want I wanted." She almost whispered. " Why didn't you follow our deal?"
" Things changed, Winter. Things that I didn't expect to happen, happen." He said.
" Like what?" She snapped. He frowned as he took a breath.
" I fell in love with you. A vampire fell in love with a human and if you can't see how much you mean to me, how much I love you then look into our bond. You will feel it through our bond. I can't lie to you because we are connected." He admitted. " I turned you because I couldn't let you die. I love you too much to let you die. Even if you hate me for the rest of our undead lives I wouldn't regret that choice. I'd rather have you out in the world, hating me, then dead. I'm sorry if you are mad at me." With that, Jerry turned and walked out of the bathroom.
