"I will never grow old or have your children. Forever i will look like this." An empty hole was left in my chest as if someone was carving it out with a knife. Over time the hole got bigger and bigger. I became a zombie going through the daily motions but with no purpose. I said nothing to no one until my throat went sore and dry.
"Gunnar" my mother called.
I looked up
"Gunnar i know that you loved her but you must know ,we did this for you. For your safety."
"No if you did something for me...for my happiness you would have let me marry her."
"She is no longer a human ,my father joined in."
"You do not know! You have not known her as long as I! You did not love her as I did! I spat"
He grabbed me by my shoulders and threw me to the ground.
"SILENCE INSOLENT BOY!"
"Please you musn't do thi-
"QUIET WOMAN." As for you-he glared at me-you are forbidden to go near her,he walked away leaving me on the floor.
I'm sorry my mother whispered and she too walked away.
I went outside to walk not caring where. The moon was beautiful that night i remembered how i used to sneak out with her and look up at the sky.
I felt a breeze.
"Gunnar-"
The voice scared me i turned around reaching for a weapon in the dark.
"Gunnar don't be afraid it's m-"
Pressing my lips against hers i wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight. She didn't protest and kissed back with force that surprised me.
"I'm so so sorry for what i have done i promise to never leave you again Rebekha...I love you."
She smiled and kissed me softer this time.
"I love you too."
We stood there in embrace. This was the perfect moment with the perfect girl.
I kissed her neck returned the kiss. She kissed my neck again and again harder and harder each time sucking softly. She looked at me with lust in her eyes and saw the surprise in mine.
"Oh uh...I...I'm sorry she apologised"
"Dont be" Her smile returned but she kept staring at my neck.
"Rebekha why do the villagers fear you i don't see anything has changed." Her eyes flicked back to mine and then back to my neck.
"I suppose it's time i tell you". She explained how she'd been fed blood then killed and fed blood again. How her father ment this to be protection from the wolves, her new abilities ,but also her new weaknesses. Relief came to her eyes but there was also something else...
"My love what are you keeping from me?"
"Nothing i have told you everything" she lied.
"I have known you all my life you cant lie to me Rebekha. Have i displeased you?"
"No you haven't nothing is wrong your imagining things"she assured me. Her gaze kept finding its way back to my neck.
"Why do you keep doing that?"
"What"
"When I'm talking to you, you seem to look back at my neck"
"Its nothing. I just cant stop thinking about you ,I missed you"she smiled at me. But I knew she was hiding something.
"Just tell me whats wrong I know how you get when you try to hide things from me."
"Oh stop worrying would you rather talk or do this" She put my hands on her waist and wound hers around my neck and kissed me sweetly. I fell into her trap but i didnt care it felt so good to have her here with me. Before i deepened the kiss she let go and smiled seductively. Motioning with her figer she leaned back against a rock and pulled me in again. She demanded entrance to my mouth and I happily let her in. Then she flipped me over with strength that surprised me and took control. I held her tight as she made her way down to my neck. Her breathing turned husky and bit me. I felt blood coming out and she was drinking it.
"Rebekha! Rebekha what are you doing! Get off!"
Trying to push her was useless using her hands she forced me down. Dizzyness and pain took over but at least pain meant i was alive. With one final push i threw her off me. Now i knew why people were scared. Hungry red eyes looked at me ,her veins on her face showing. Crouching like a cat about to pounce she growled & exposed her 1 inch long fangs.
"Oh my god Rebekha!" She snapped out of it the eyes returning to blue,fangs and veins dissapearing.
"Oh NO NO NO NO! I'm so so sorry"
She took a step closer to me.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! Your a monster."
I touched my neck ,there were 2 holes ozzing blood slower than before but still coming out.
I turned and ran away.
"Please stop I'm sorry"she yelled.
In a blur she appeared in front of me. I fell to the ground and crawled backwards.
"Get away from me!"
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry she said quieter and quieter she sat down and cried on the floor, but i kept running...
