I ran into the lobby that was empty now. I knelt over in a corner and began to take deep breathes. I couldn't believe what I saw. That's was…was….there isn't a word to describe what I saw. Trent followed me and he knelt down by me, and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Are you ok? You just ran out." He said in a concerned tone.
"He was drinking her blood." I cried out looking at him.
"That's what vampires do Gwen." He said. I began to feel more disgusted. "They are married they only drink from each other. There is nothing wrong with it." He reassured.
"But….it's so…gross. I mean, her blood, and….." I stopped myself before I threw up everywhere.
"It's another vampire thing you'll get used to. Trust me, getting bit, is actually enjoyable for some people." He said.
"Get used to? Trent it's…" he cut me off.
"Nurturing on another. He feeds her and she feeds him. Blood drinking is a vey sacred act between husband and wife. It's almost as if she was feeding him normal food. Except he needs the blood or he dies." He tried to explain. "Its nothing to be grossed out about, trust me. I though it was repugnant until I needed to feed. It really isn't that…" I cut him off.
"Wait. Dose that mean, you'll be…." I trailed off. I mimicked fangs in my neck with my pointer, and pinky finger. He nodded as if it where nothing. I can't do that. "No, that's, horrible. No, you can't you just…" he cut me off.
"Let me show you, it's not a bad thing." He said moving his face to my neck. I covered my neck with my hands trying to stop him. He put one arm around my back, and used the other to move my hands. I struggled with him, trying to keep my neck covered. His fangs began to descend from his mouth and move toward my neck. They brushed my hands and I spoke up.
"Please don't." I asked as tears began to wheel up. He stopped and moved his hand away from my neck.
"I am sorry Gwen. But really there isn't anything gross or scary about this." He said.
"I don't care. You can't drink from me," I said still holding my neck.
"Then I'll die." He said sad. I opened my eyes in shock. "I need to feed once a day. And I chose you as my bride, I can't drink from anyone else." He said. He began to come close to my neck again. "One bite, and you'll see." He whispered. I couldn't move. I don't know what to do. If I don't let him drink he dies, if I do….he drinks! He inched in closer, and I can tell he was going to bite me. He kissed my hands covering my neck. I didn't move at first. But by the third kiss I gave up. I decided this is just one of those things I need to pay for.
He opened his mouth on my neck but didn't press down. I could feel his fangs brushing my skin making me wince. Then as the pointed tips of his fangs touch began to press down on my skin….
"Uhum." Trent moved away and turned around. Behind him was Marty with a folder in his hands. "We allow drinking, but this is another case. Here are the papers. Fill them out then go to room 125." He said handing Trent the folder and a pen. Trent lifted me up, to a sitting position and opened the folder. It was full of papers and we had to sign then all.
25 minutes latter of signing my name we came to the second pocket. "Marty, do we need a human marriage licenses?" Trent asked reading the first paper.
"No, but it make future things so much easier. I suggest you get one." He said. Trent looked at me.
"We have a lot of chapels to pick from. Dose tonight sound good?" he asked.
"Why so soon?" I asked.
"Because we need it before you turn, and that's in 5 days." He looked at Marty then whispered in my ear, "And if you want a honey moon before you turn, then today would be the best day." He smiled.
What do I take from that? Husband yea I know, but hello don't I have enough going on in my life as it is?
"We'll singe the marriage part tomorrow ok?" Trent said getting up and helping me up.
"Fine. Room 125 please." He said not looking at us. Wow he can be a real ass.
In the room, all they did was take my picture for my new ID's. A vampire one, and a human one. On both my name changed from Gwen Jefferson to Gwen London. London?
-_-
Apparently that's Trent's last name, and we're married so…yeah.
After I received my new ID's Trent led me out and into the car.
"I know you have a lot to think about Gwen. And I feel horrible doing this to you, but the sooner married the better. You only have 5 days to get everything straight. That includes shopping for a new wardrobe, buying a car, linens, stuff like that. First month of being a vampire would be all on control. So we need this fixed before then. Ok?" he said
I hate this. I am forced into a marriage, I am a blood donor, and I will be a blood drinker. I lost my friend and family, I am being forced to do stuff I don't want to, like get married so soon, and he needs and answer now. Can I kill myself? Then out of now where I thought about what Duncan said after reading my mind. "You just don't know how good you have it Gwen. You didn't have a life until Trent came and turned you….."
He's right. I had nothing but a family. I am 23 was living with mom and dad, no job, no education, no boyfriend, no money….nothing. Now I have a husband, money to burn, and I don't have to work. Why am I complaining? Besides it's not like I can avoid it.
"Yeah. Let's get married, and lets get married today." I said with a smile on my face.
He pulled into a wedding chapel and looked at me, before turning the car off. "Are you sure now? You must be over whelmed my all this. You don't want to think it over?" he asked. I giggled.
"Why? I'll marry you either way. I am technically married already. Let's go." I said opening the door.
"Gwen wait." He said grabbing my arm. "Wig." He said. I forgot I took it off.
