It had not taken long for Bella to expel all she had taken from Potter. She rested her head against the cool steel sink and caught her breath. She reached up blindly and turned on one of the taps. Cool, clean water began washing the foul mixture of congealing blood, bile, sweat and what Bella privately thought was her stomach lining down the drain.
She sighed and began washing her face, hands and neck. She cupped come water between her hands and brought it up to her lips, sloshing it around her mouth she spat it back out and repeated the action until she could no longer taste Potters tainted blood.
Once done Bella took to watching over the young man. She wondered how old he was now? She'd stop taking notice of the passage of time during her isolation. It was unnerving to watch him change into the same twisted half-breed creature Voldemort mad made her.
He was grinding his teeth, and every now and then Bella would catch a glimpse of his sharpening teeth and elongated K9's. His markings had already wound their way across his rapidly darkening skin. Bella caught herself wondered what colour his eyes would be.
She watched in awe as a wave of pride filled her. She reached out a clawed hand and softly touched his sweat covered cheek. The markings continued to etch themselves into his flesh under her touch. He was hot, very hot! Panic coursed through her as his body temperature only seemed to increase, the markings were deep now and blood seeped out of them, adding to the already overflowing pool of blood on the table.
He began thrashing around violently again, hitting himself, the walls and the table. She had to restrain him!
Bella glanced around the room but she saw nothing to tie him up with. Steeling herself she climbed on top of him, straddling his hips she wound her feet around his ankles and pressed down holding his flailing legs. She ducked one of Potter's fists, grasped both his wrists and slammed his arms down above his head.
She clenched her teeth as she struggled to hold him down; he was surprisingly strong. After what seemed like hours his fever broke and his body temperature lowered for what she knew for kind to be normal.
Bella released a breath, unaware she had even been holding it. He finally stopped struggling but she continued to hold him down just in case. He moaned softly, tugged gently at the hold she had on his wrists, before his eyes fluttered open.
His eyes were still human, and his natural shade of emerald green. They were unfocused and glazed over, as if he was still asleep. He blinked repeatedly and Bella watched as his eyes changed before her. His human pupils shrunk down until all she could see was a tiny black speck, his emerald green irises enlarged to cover all the white of his eye.
She was entranced by the beauty she saw there, she could look into these eyes for the rest of eternity… But the spell was broken when Potter blinked again, his eyes clear and alert again.
"What…?" He croaked.
"Shhh…" Bella hissed. "Your safe, childe." Where did that come from? She wondered… It was possible it was the vampire in her…
"Your safe. Sleep. You've been through a rough night. Sleep, I'll watch over you." He seemed to agree as he closed his now reflective metallic green eyes. Bella gently got off the young man and looked over him. Taking in all the changes his turning had brought.
He was – in her eyes - now complete. Whole. He had looked as if he was waiting for something, laying there on that steel table. Bella supposed he pulled off the look well… Considering she was the only other of their kind.
She couldn't stop herself from smiling, that odd sense of pride grew and filled her heart. Now there were two of them. Someone to share her knowledge with, to teach the ways of her species, and Bella would never admit it aloud, but the fact that he was male filled her with an odd sense of hope.
Perhaps we could… Bella couldn't explain her feelings. Not moments ago she felt nothing for the boy but now… Even as she made her way towards the open door, heat began pooling in her stomach and her skin felt… Tingly.
Oh no… I'm not… Shit!
