Sorry this one took so long, I've had tons of work to do ! I hope this makes up for it though. Please review ! It keeps me going :) Thanks always for all the feedback I get, it really makes me smile.
Eric lead me into town and we found a take-away place for me to eat. We sat down on a bench in the park, as we watched the town come alive. I ate enough for three people while Eric was on alert, never quite sitting still. Eventually he took my hand and lead me down a path on the outskirts of town. We found an old, abandoned house, with the shutters falling off and no windows left. The grass was so long it nearly came up to my knees, and the door was hanging off it's hinges.
" We'll sleep in there. " said Eric, pulling me behind him. We went in, and found the house in a horrible state. The wallpaper was cracked and falling off, and the paint on the ceiling was coming off, a lot of it was on the dusty dark wooden floor. There were still a few chairs, all dusty and the whole place was full of leaves and it all smelt of damp. The floor creaked as we walked over it, and I opened a door on the right, leading to the cellar. Neither one of us dared break the silence as Eric followed me down the stairs. At the bottom, I stopped, not being able to see a thing. I felt Eric take my hand.
" This way. " he whispered into my ear, as he lead me forwards. I couldn't see a thing, and with every step I was scared I was going to fall into a hole or walk on something, but thankfully I didn't. I suddenly saw Eric's face light up in front of me, making me jump.
" Shit ! Eric, next time you dig out your phone to light a place up, tell me will you ! " I saw him grin before he directed the light to the corner of the room. He brushed all the leaves out the way, and sat down on the floor, inviting me to sit with him.
" We should be safe here. I will wake if I sense you are in danger, so do not fear. Try to sleep lover. " He whispered, softly wrapping his arms around me, and pulling me against him.
" Lover ? " I asked, slightly amused. In response, he kissed my neck, making me close my eyes as desire suddenly took over me.
" See " he laughed, " if you were not my lover, you wouldn't respond that way would you. " I had my back to him but somehow I could hear his smile. I turned to face him and kissed him gently.
" Goodnight, you big teaser. " I said, rolling my eyes.
" Who said I was only teasing ? " he answered, kissing me more forcefully. I laughed at how ridiculous this was and I felt him smirk against my lips as he unbuttoned my shirt. We were soon both naked and he layed me down on top of our clothes. I shivered as a cold gast of wind came from the house above us, making Eric grin.
" Let me warm you up " he said, climbing on top of me.
I woke up to Eric caressing my naked body. Through our bond I could tell he was hungry for me as I kissed him.
" Sleep well ? " he asked me.
" Not too bad, considering. " I answered. I grabbed my clothes and put them on quickly, feeling rather cold. " How long has it been dark ? "
He was dressed in less than a minute, and he walked up the steps. " About an hour " he called down to me. " Come on, we need to go. " I walked up, taking in my surroundings. As we were walking out the house, I noticed one of the chairs was knocked over, unlike the night before. I froze as I looked at it, and Eric reappeared by my side.
" No one has been here in years. I can smell it. " He reassured me. I sighed, not that confident in his answer. He wasn't either, I could feel it.
We shot off into the sky again, and after a few hours we had to stop.
" I need to go to the bathroom Eric ! "
" But - "
" Don't argue with a pregnant woman ! " I answered back at him. It was getting really urgent so he put me down in a city a few miles away and I ran to the nearest club.
" ID please. " said a bored, middle aged man with tattoos of dragons on his arms.
" But I only need to - "
" ID. "
I sighed heavily as Eric caught up with me. I told him the problem and he pushed past me.
" We have already showed you our ID, and you will now let me and my companion in. " He said, as he glamored the poor guy. I thanked him with a quick nod of the head and ran in to find the bathroom. I was about to walk out when I suddenly had to turn round and gag, forgetting about that aspect of being pregnant. I looked in the mirror again, splashing my face with cold water. " I really need a shower. " I muttered as I tried to make my hair presentable. I turned to walk out and noticed my stomach was starting to show. My eyes widened. That wasn't possible ! It had been barely a week, I couldn't show already ! I pulled my shirt up as to have a good look. I turned left and right, I even bent over to get a good look. I was definitely a little bigger. I shook my head in disbelief as I walked out the door. I found Eric waiting in the corner, looking very grumpy. I kissed him on the cheek when I got to him.
" What's wrong ? " I asked.
He shook his head and led us quickly out the club. I could feel he was alarmed, but he was blocking most of his emotions out. He picked me up once outside.
" Eric, tell me what's wrong ! " I demanded him, getting really worried as he even refused to make eye contact. He flew off almost in a state of emergency and barely a second later he cried out and fell out of the sky. We landed on the roof of a building and tumbled down it, then fell onto the side of an empty side street.
" What the f- " I started, but lost my voice as I saw Eric bleeding from his neck. I crawled over to him, as my back really hurt from the fall. " What can I do ? " I asked him, my eyes wide with fear and worry.
" Suck... Silver... Out... " he groaned in discomfort.
I did as he asked and sucked the silver out of his neck. I spat it out of my mouth, and found it was a bullet. Eric had healed by the time I had cleaned the blood off the thing to read the inscriptions on it. The letters " F.O.T.S " showed up quite clearly in the light of the only lamp in the street. I got up easily, Eric's blood having healed me, and took his hand as he listened to our surroundings.
" I can't fly, I'll be shot down again. We'll have to go by foot. " he told me, before setting off at vampire speed down the street. I followed him with no problem at all, leaving the city and soon finding myself in the middle of nowhere, crossing rivers and soon entering a rocky, mountainous territory. Eric then picked me up and we flew for a few hours until we had to stop.
" We have to find cover, it will be dawn soon. " He said. Neither of us wanted to stop, whoever had got to us was on our tail. I learnt that we were near the Colorado river and we searched for a cave of somewhere Eric could hide from the sun and keep me safe with him, but we couldn't find anywhere. Eric was going frantic.
" We have to find somewhere ! I can't dig myself in the dirt and leave you all alone ! " he shouted, brushing his hair back. " I need to protect you ! " He sighed heavily, panic in his eyes.
" Eric... " I whispered to him, pulling him to me, making him look me in the eyes. " I have a way to keep us together. " I said quietly.
He questioned me through our bond, and I answered by pulling my hair back, leaning my head to the side to reveal my neck.
" I'm a fairy " I said quietly. " The sun won't hurt you if you drink my blood. " I was hesitant, and scared, but it was the only way.
He leant his head into my neck, and I felt him take in my scent. I heard his fangs extend, but he pulled away.
" I can't to that lover. " He said, shaking his head. " I will not risk hurting you. "
" You risk hurting me even more if you leave me alone for the day ! " I retorted. " Besides... I want you to do this... " I looked down.
" What do you mean ? " he asked me softly, lifting my head up with his hand, so that his face was only inches from mine.
" I want to you see the sun. I can't imagine how much you miss it. Consider it a gift. To thank you for everything you're doing. " I smiled weakly at him, and kissed him. " Please. "
He kissed me again, wrapping his hands around me. He kissed me more deeply, and more fiercely, and I could feel his desire intensify as much as my own. He then started kissing my neck, and I cried out in pleasure. His fangs scraped my neck, and I felt his cool breath teasing my skin.
" Are you sure, my love ? " he muttered against my neck, as his hands found there way under my shirt.
" Do it . " I moaned.
His fangs sank into my skin with ease, and I cried out at the sudden pain. But it was soon replaced by the weirdest sense of pleasure I'd ever felt, and we both moaned, our hands under each others shirts. He pulled away after a few minutes and kissed me deeply, his mouth still covered in my blood.
He pulled away suddenly, and took a few steps back, leaving me panting.
" But - " I started to protest.
" I want more, as much as you do my love. " he said, regret in his eyes. " But if we do, we might have company. I'll make it up to you." He said, coming closer to me again. " I promise I will. " He said gently against my mouth as he kissed me.
The sky turned pink as the sun started to rise and Eric tensed. We looked towards the sun and I took his hand in mine. I watched his eyes widen in awe as we quietly watched the sun rise. A tear escaped his eye as he turned to me.
" Thank you. " He said quietly, and he kissed my forehead. " No one could have given me anything like this. " He looked back towards the sun.
" That's only part of what you're getting out of me. " I said, laughing. He looked back at me, and raised an eyebrow. I put my hand on my stomach, reminding him he was to be a father.
" Oh. Yes. " He said hesitantly. " That worries me you know. "
" And me... " I wiped the tear off his face and leaned in to kiss him again, but we were stopped by the distant sound of people talking.
Eric gave me his hand. " Fancy a little run in the sun my love ? "
