Chapter 2: Getting Blood
"Witnesses say that the vampires are planning their next attack to free their leader. But witnesses also say it will take a lot of vampires now to try to destroy our protection. Ever since H.O.C. has been on the case, more and more vampires have been perishing. We hope everything goes well for future reference. And on to other news…" The anchor woman said on the television.
I looked over to a corner where Eriol was standing with Tomoyo. They looked like the perfect couple. Little did poor Tomoyo know that Eriol loves me! He freaking loves me! You can say eww like a billion times.
He glances over where I'm sitting and stares me down with that smile that makes me want to hide. Tomoyo looks over and waves me over and I slowly stand up and walk over to them.
"Kaito, this here is Sakura. The Kinomoto's daughter." Tomoyo introduced me to a man who gave me a look that made me sick in my stomach.
"Nice to meet you." He said, seductive in his voice. I smile slightly then curtsy. "Like wise I suppose." I answered.
Kaito wasn't a bad looking guy. He was actually pretty cute, but he didn't remind me as someone who would leave a good impression on you. I stood aimlessly, wishing to escape from the looks Kaito and Eriol were giving me. Finally the clock chimed five in the evening and it was perfect for me to escape to my room for a "short nap".
"Um, excuse me, but I need to go to my room for a short nap. Please excuse me." I curtsied quickly and turned swiftly, not letting any of them say a word.
"Wait! Let me escort you to your room." Kaito said, reaching out to grab my hand, but I was to slick and I turned and he grabbed the air.
"No thank you, but I rather enjoy the evening walk by myself. But thank you for offering." I said kindly, smiling to make what I just said sound nice.
Eriol seemed slightly pleased that I declined Kaito's offer, but I gave him a look that made him stop being smug. I walked off quickly and avoided looking at anyone and reached outside without anybody talking to me.
Once I reached my room, I pulled the rope, that hung lifeless on the side of my door, and the curtains came down elegantly. I slipped out of my evening dress and put on my nightgown. I pulled the covers up and slipped inside of the cold bed.
Instantly, my mind went to the man who was a prisoner. Why is he locked up down there without anyone there to keep him company? But I already know the answer. He'll suck the life out of them. But still, my heart still goes out to him.
I close my eyes and pray to God, if I could sleep without fear. My prayer was granted and I fell into a dream filled sleep. The first dream I've had in nine years. And the dream was about him.
I was running, running, my heart beating fast, my legs ready to give out, but none of it happened.
I reached the cage quickly and used my key to open it. I slipped inside and saw his head down, avoiding eye contact.
"Please, what's wrong?" I hear myself ask. I walk over to him and I see a whole lot of blood on the floor. "Oh my god! What happened?" I asked, wide-eyed.
But he didn't answer me; he just began to spit up more blood. My hand went to stroke him, but he snarled at me and began to growl at me, he showed his pearly white teeth while blood was spilling like a fountain out of his mouth.
"Let me help you!" I begged, but he only growled louder. Pain was seizing my chest and tears were slipping down my cheeks; making it hard for me to see.
"Please!" I beg and I fall on my knees in the pool of blood; making blood pour all over my clothing and my body. My stomach feels queasy, but I ignore it as I reach for him again. This time he doesn't flinch, but lets me gently pull his face to look at me.
"I promise, I will help you. I will set you free!" I say to him and hold his beautiful angel face in my hands.
He stops growling and snarling. He looks at me with sad eyes and he begins to lean forward, making my hold on him almost difficult.
"Do you promise?" He asks, his velvety voice filling up my ears and I smile at him.
"I don't break promises." I say gently and let my hands trace his jaw line gently.
He smiles at me and leans away from him, pain reflecting in his eyes. "I have to warn you, though." He whispers to me. I look at him questionably. He looks down and whispers, "I am not enti-"
A sharp knock woke me from my dream-filled sleep. I groggily stumbled out of bed and opened my door.
"Morning, Saku!" Tomoyo grins at me, her face bright with happiness. I groan but invite Tomoyo inside. She flops down on my unmade bed and smiles widely.
"You slept late. You didn't even get up for dinner last night! You hungry?" Tomoyo asked as she began to look at a magazine I had scattered around my room.
"Not really. I guess I was really tired, is all." I say as I sit at the edge of my bed. Tomoyo chuckles and leans forward.
"I think your mind is filled with vampires!" Tomoyo teased. I quickly turned my face to hide my blush.
"No I'm not!" I said. Tomoyo grinned but said nothing. She stood and began to walk to the door.
"If you need me, Sakura, you know where to find me." With that, Tomoyo left, closing the door behind her.
Ever since Tomoyo gave me that key, I've hid it by my breasts; close to my heart. It seems my little trip to the dungeon has been kept secret. I don't know how they manage that but no one knows. Even when I try to bring it up with Tomoyo, she always manages to wiggle out of it! I hid my unhappiness behind a warm smile.
I still wonder, wonder about him. I ponder if he's alright, if he's lonely. But I can never bring myself to go back down there. I think I'm too afraid they'll catch me or… I won't be able to control myself if I saw his beautiful face again. What do I do?
Sleep falls over me and I let my head fall back and hit the soft pillow. I'll wait it out… until tomorrow….
-------------------------------
I open my eyes and moonlight floods in my room, filling it half way up with light.
"Come…" So I wasn't mistaken. He was calling me! I immediately snap up and begin to peel of my nightgown and slip on a dark red dressed that hugged my every curve. I blushed when I looked at myself and blushed crimson.
My mind drifted back to the dream I just had…
I smelt blood and all I could do was stay perfectly still. It was his orders, so I will comply.
I could feel him watching me, hoping I moved but at the same time, not. His penetrating gaze slashed at me, telling me to move; even a centimeter.
"Go ahead. I won't hurt you." He whispered venomously at me. I gulped slowly and closed my eyes; I didn't even notice I had them open.
I could feel myself itch to move, even a little and I complied with my wish to move. I jerked up and opened my eyes quickly, to see him jump at me and show his white sharp teeth. I heard myself scream, even just a little, but my throat went dry and I could hear nothing else besides the sound of slurping up my blood.
I shivered. More like a nightmare. Quickly, I shut the door and tiptoe across the pavement to the cafeteria. I could hear whispers of some sort and if I heard them come closer, I would stop and hold my breath. But no one came even close enough to see me.
I followed the familiar path up to the cafeteria and pushed open the door, slowly. I looked around and noticed no one was here and I let out a sigh of relief. I let myself walk normally to the 'Special' door and pulled out the key from my dress.
It glimmered beautifully in the moonlight and I suddenly found myself leaning in to kiss its cold surface. It was very cold but warm at the same time since it trapped in some of the heat from my breasts. I slowly pulled the key of my neck and pushed it through the key hole. A perfect match.
My heart began to beat faster and faster. My breathing became hollow as I walked down the almost dark pathway. No way was I actually doing this… am I? I looked around and I finally arrived at the door.
"Please work." I find myself saying into the darkness. Slowly the door opened and I pulled my key out. My head was getting light because you know, I haven't been breathing for some time now. I slowly take in a big breath and exhale.
My feet began to move without me even telling them to. My heart was palpitating so fast, I am sure the whole headquarters can hear it! The fake fire turned on as I walked down the dark path. I felt that overwhelming power to strip down my cloths once again and my stomach churned at the idea of me being completely naked in front of him. But the urge was almost overbearing but somehow only my cloak slipped down my body.
My eyes began to cloud over with lust. And my hand began to go to my back to untie the wine colored dress. My breasts moved up and down in a rush. My breathing became shallow and I staggered slightly going down the darkened path.
I could see the silver cage glistening from the moonlight that seeped in through a small hole that's supposed to be a window. My hands felt clammy and I almost fell from the lack of strength. A cold wind blew in and ruffled my wavy honey brown hair. I closed my eyes and breathed in staggered breaths.
I arrived at the cage and peered in. The beautiful creature had his eyes closed and he was scarcely breathed in at all. I didn't dare move and just watched him sit there, looking more like an angel then a demon. I slowly began to move, my hands leaving their work on my dress and I unlocked the cage, slowly.
I stepped in and walked to him, his eyes snapping open and looking at me with dark, dark black eyes. I unlocked him from the back, without him saying a word, and I stood, staring into his dark eyes.
"Why are you here?" He asked, his voice coming out as a snarl. He made no movement as he glared into my eyes.
"I-I don't know." I whispered and I felt my knees slightly shacking with unknown fear. He broke our gaze and he noticed I was shacking. He stood and wrapped an arm around my waist and he pulled me close, slightly squishing me to his cold, marble chest. I closed my eyes and automatically inhaled his sweet scent that filled my whole mind with him.
"You're making a mistake by being here." He whispered in a warning but his voice seemed to melt me. My heart began to palpitate and I could barely breathe.
"Do they know you're here?" He asked, the hate in his voice for the word they. I shook my head no and he looked at me with even darker eyes.
"You're just wishing for death." He said with an evil glint in his dark black eyes.
"Your blood is delicious smelling." He mumbled into my hair. And shivers ran up and down my back. He leaned me away from him so I was looking up at him.
He came really close to my face and he inhaled my scent. He licked his lips hungrily and suddenly his lips crashed down on mine. My breath was caught in my throat and he hungrily pushed his lips harder on mine and I felt my body react with his own.
My arms wrapped around his neck and with his arm, he snaked his arm around my waist and hoisted me up on his waist.
"Do you promise?" He asks, his velvety voice filling up my ears and I smile at him.
"I don't break promises." I say gently and let my hands trace his jaw line gently.
My eyes snapped open and I jerked away from him. The vampire growled at me and let his hold on me go loose. I slip down to the floor and gulp down some air.
"I made a promise," I said, my breathing returning back to normal. "I don't break promises." I said with more feeling. He looked at me quizzically.
"So?" I answered, his eyebrows rising. I look at him, perplexed. Was it only my imagination? I know it was a dream, but shouldn't he have had a feeling or something?
I feel tears prick my eyes and I quickly look down at the ground. I hear a sigh then a small groan.
"What's wrong?" He asked, his velvety voice making me want to regain our make out session.
"Nothing." I whispered and I slowly looked up at him. "What's your name?" I ask now, of all times to ask.
He looks at me for a moment before looking me up and down, just like Eriol did that day when we were at the cafeteria. But the vampire was much more forward and he didn't care if you caught him looking at you up and down. Especially since his eyes landed on my breasts that moved up and down, like before, except more normally.
"Stop it." I said as my arms covered my breasts which didn't help much. He smirked evilly.
I gulped, nervously. He began to walk to me until I was against the stone wall. An evil glint in his eyes returned and he pressed his body against mine. He groaned and pulled me away from the wall, harder on himself. My head rest on his chest and I was once again filled with lust.
He leaned down and began to lick my lips. My breath was caught in my throat and my breathing ceased.
"Don't stop." I found myself saying before it even registered in my head. He complied to my beg and licked them more harshly. I whimpered, from his roughness and he stopped.
He pushed me away from him and he growled in frustration. "Goddammit!" He yelled his velvety voice harsh. I looked at him with slight fear and held myself.
"I need blood! I can barely control myself!" He yelled and held his head in pain. I hugged my arms closer to myself and watched him.
"Leave. NOW!" He yelled viscously and the look of craziness began to enter his black eyes. I scrambled up and ran for my life; forgetting to tie him back and to lock the cage, but that's the least of my problems.
I ran all the way to my room and opened the door and shut the door and locked it. My heart was hammering so fast in my chest. Is this really happening?
I laid a hand on my breasts and felt my heartbeat. I breathed heavily and slipped down to the floor in a clumsy position.
"Sakura?" I could hear a voice ask gently. Why were they so close? I thought I locked my door…
"Sakura, wake up!" No doubt its Tomoyo's voice. But I'm not asleep. I'm sitting here at the door, my heart almost having a heart attack! But why is she shacking me? Aren't I alone in my room?
"WAKE UP SAKURA!" Tomoyo yelled into my ear. My eyes snapped open and I looked up at my best friend. She was holding onto my shoulders. A smile graced her face.
"Good to see you're still with us." Tomoyo said, laughing. I turned my head slightly to the side and saw Eriol standing there, a worried expression on his handsome (sad to say it) face.
"What happened?" I asked, my voice sounding indifferent.
"We found you unconscious on your room floor." Eriol answered his worried expression relaxing. I looked bewildered and Tomoyo laughed.
"You were sneaky! You snuck out! But where to?" Tomoyo asked a glint in her eyes. But I only looked at her with confusion.
"Oh well. But you should rest. It's going to be a while until you're permitted to be released. You have quite a bump on your head." Tomoyo said with a small smile as she gently pushed me back. My body complied to her and instantly my eyes closed and I went into a restless sleep…
Blood ran down the beautiful angel face. His eyes were screaming in pain as he led onto my body. He pulled me in closer until his wonderful smell and the horrid smell of blood filled my senses.
"Sakura…" Shivers ran up and down my back. I looked up at him and pain reflected in his beautiful chocolate eyes.
"My love…" I whispered back, leaning in closer. He welcomed my embrace and kissed me gently on my forehead.
"Sleep. I will protect you. Your dreams will be filled no more… at least for tonight."
My eyes slowly closed and the last thing I saw was a boy; not a vampire.
