Kiss of a Vampire
"This time, I will be the one to protect you."
It took me about five seconds, as he carried me home, to realize his blood is black.
Chapter Eight: Forever Begins Now Part I
Last night was…baffling, as was this morning. For the time being, I wasn't quite as confused as when I had woken up. Once we had arrived home, he had told me everything, he had poured out all the things stuck in his head, all his worries. I took them all in with open arms. I was so happy to finally know more about the one I love. However, there came a point where the entire affair seemed bittersweet.
Against popular belief, I was no vampire. No, now that I had been bitten, I was practically a zombie. It wasn't that bad, I was still human, and we would be able to stay together for eternity now. I was his. No one else was able to take me, I could not love another, and I didn't even see other men the same way anymore. I found myself being more and more pulled to him. I asked quite a few times if I was being a nuisance, with my new-found clinginess. But he would just smile at me, that beautiful smile, and comfort me in saying it was nothing but slight side effects.
He, also, against what I'd like to believe, was not as stunning as the novels and movies would have described. He was a freak of nature, something that wasn't supposed to happen, and something that defied the Bible. And in doing that, he was damned to Hell, only for what he was born into, and now I was dragged down with him. His blood is dead, black, and his skin is paling every day, but I love him none the less.
The Contract put into simple words, is a bonding of my soul to his. If he dies I die, if he gets hurt, I feel the pressure. I always know where he is, and vice versa. It is normal for a vampire to pair up with a human this way; in fact, it's what's supposed to happen. And now, with me being his sole feeding source, we will live forever.
At first I thought this was confusing, mostly because I'm dead, and if I died I can't produce more blood cells. He explained more in depth for my stupidity of course. I wasn't dead physically, but my soul was contracted to him, and so I was no longer counted as a human. I was in a place only a few would ever be, I was in-between death and life, held up by a thin string Ikuto was holding. In truth, all of this happening at once was a little scary, and very overwhelming.
I have to rest a lot, which is no problem since I'm so very tired, but when he comes back every day it's hard for me to sleep. I feel bad since he has to lie down with me so I'll actually close my eyes – just for a little.
Now, as I lay here and look up at him, this whole thing seems so surreal. I'm still expecting to wake up, be in my own house and have none of this ever happen. But I haven't woken yet, so I'll live it at my best for as long as I get. And even though this creature next to me keeps titling himself as monster, or saying he isn't how I think, I still believe he is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I can't sleep again, and I hear him sigh and chuckle next to me. He can read me so easily. I open one eye, smiling shyly at him.
"You really need to sleep." He states simply, with a small smirk.
"But I can't!" I whine, pouting at him. He looks at me, the smirk growing a bit beyond his control.
"Don't make me have to tire you out again." I really didn't want to be the one to tell him I didn't mind at all. I was quite used to it, and it didn't even hurt. When he sucked my blood just enough to put me under for a little while, it actually kind of felt euphoric, and even though the thought made me blush, that only made him want to tease me more. After all, I still hadn't let him take my virginity.
I know I'm being stupid, but my family is highly religious. So, even though I'm going to Hell no matter what happens, I still can't help but think that premarital sex is wrong, even if we are bonded to each other for eternity. This is one thing, though; I don't think he can read me on. I'm sure it baffles him, and that is actually (more than) a little amusing to me.
Of course he did it in the end. Grabbing me by my jaw and my hip, pulling me to him gently, but fervently. I bent my head back in the regular routine. As I felt his lips brush my neck, my breath hitched, and when his sharp teeth grazed my skin I had to remember to breathe at all. Now that we were contracted, he was more in control – which I found strange. But soon enough, after feeling the thick plasma rush past my skin for a few seconds, everything began to blur, and then I fell into a comforting darkness.
I didn't know, at the time, just how stupid I was being. I was so happy then, I didn't think it through, I didn't think that maybe, just maybe, this world wasn't made for vampires. Maybe, we would go to a place where marriage didn't even exist.
