I sucked Damon's blood at a quick pace because I wanted to get this pain over with. Damon seemed to follow my pace. But as soon as I started to relax, the pain went away. I was giving my blood willing to him. The pain was placed by pleasure. I moved closer to Damon, but he didn't notice. He was too engulfed in my blood to notice.

I needed to breathe after a while but Damon's message stopped me.

'If you go to breathe, it'll stop the process and you'll die. Besides, blood carried oxygen.' He thought. I nodded looking at him out of the corner of my eyes. He was eyes were blood-shot and focused on his feeding.

I grew tired and started to slow down. Damon licked my wrist, while sucking at my pace. It gave me an adrenaline rush. It actually turned me on. Ugh; stupid hormones... We stayed like that for a long time. I looked at the clock and it was midnight. We had started at like six.

'Sixty-six more hours to go...' I thought to Damon.

'Sixty-six more hours till your birthday and your death.' Damon thought evilly.

I smiled into the bite as I continued. The pain came back and I winced. Damon's blood helped, though. It was... sweet yet spicy; like him. I couldn't really blame it either.

'You taste sweet yet spicy.' I thought trying to ignore the pain.

'You taste delicious.' Damon thought. 'Like... what do I taste like?'

'A mixture of things. Sweet, spicy, sizzling hot yet cold.' Damon seemed to get a little into it.

I started getting a headache about two hours later. I whimpered and slowed down. Someone was trying to make me stop. Damon licked my wrist again, keeping at my pace. I picked up a little, but the compulsion was still there.

'You have enough vampire blood in you to turn off your mind. You can't be compelled or talk to me. But I'm strong enough to send messages to you... just in case.' Damon explained. I looked at him and nodded.

I closed my eyes and pretended there was a switch in my mind. I turned it off.

'Very good. Now... since that's off, you're going to feel a lot of pain.' He explained.

And he was right. Every ounce in my body was screaming except for my mouth.

I moaned as I sucked his blood. I looked at the clock. It was already eight AM. Fifty-eight more hours of pain. He licked my wrist again and I spend up. I pushed his hand closer with my free wrist. Then an idea came. Damon could suck my blood with ease because he was a vampire. I knew how to make people bleed faster.

I moved my hand slowly to the table we were by and grabbed my pack. I grabbed a kunai out of there and brought it back up. I cut his wrist by my mouth. Blood poured faster.

'Smart girl.' Damon thought.

I nodded. This would speed up the process and hopefully we'll be done before the 72 hour mark. I looked at the clock ten AM. Only two hours passed.

'Don't focus on the clock. Focus on the blood and it'll make it go faster.' Damon thought. Of course he would know something like that.

My phone rang.

"Kenkai. I know you're there. Pick up the phone. Kenkai! We're worried sick about you!" Kuromiko's voicemail said.

I grabbed my phone off the table and texted her.

Cnt come to the fone. Busy. Ttyl.

And then I turned my phone off and slid if across the floor. I then picked up the kunai again and cut him once more. Blood was pouring into my mouth. When I looked over at the clocked again it was four PM. Wow, Damon was right time does go by fast

I focused more on the blood. It was getting harder and harder to swallow and suck it at the same time. That kept me busy. My throat began to hurt from the force being pushed against it.

Every ounce of my body was getting tired. It was only shear will power that kept me going. I needed to get this done. I had lost track of time when Damon thought, 'We're almost done. We're at ten hours left. Hang in there.' I nodded.

I looked at the clock. The sun was beaming and the third day. I would turn seventeen in less than ten hours.

'Alright, there's five hours left..' Damon thought. 'I need you to hurry because you're slowly down and there's still a hand full of blood inside of you. We're just barely going to make it. If you want to keep your power's and Kekkie what ever. Open your mind and deal with what ever you need to. It's only five hours.'

I nodded and opened my mind. And then got lost in his blood to keep my mind clear.

Damon stopped after a long while and I stopped with him. I exhaled. In a nanosecond, his hands were around my neck and there was a snap. My body fell to the ground and I died. Before I died though, I heard Damon whisper, "Happy birthday, Kenkai."
