Last time on I won't but i will:
"Are you telling me that if I don't wish to watch Finnept treating you like crap and me knowing I could do a hell of a lot better, treating you like the real STAR you are, that I have to GO? Out of your life?"
She nodded once and I laughed darkly.
"So be it then."
I walked over to the basket with unknown strength and lifted it up over my arm before I walked down the hallway and out the door, out of Rachel Berry's life, for good.
I had to blink twice to understand what happened when my face flew suddenly to the left. I felt the sting on my check but only a little, in reality it felt like a mosquito had stung me on the cheek but other than that I felt fine. My head hadn't even totally whipped to the side like you would expect from a normal slap, it had merely turned a little to the left. In my head I had expected the thing to feel more dramatic, to look more dramatic but since my current condition was so undeniable it just couldn't be that dramatic. I heard her gasp and turned my head back to look her dead in the eye. She stood there horrified of herself clutching her hand over her mouth as if to stop a scream from coming out. She was successful in keeping quiet but the scream came out anyway, I could see it in her eyes, I could feel it rolling off of her, it was a silent scream and those are the worst.
But the action she took had pushed me too far this time, after all this emotional turmoil my body was pushed so many times to the edge and to have only fed on her mere hours ago, it was all to much. The growling started low, a sound coming from deep down my throat. The primal sound made the hairs on the back of her neck stand upright. I could smell her fear and for the first time I realised this is what they meant about animals smelling fear. It had a bittersweet scent, it lured me in, I wanted it. The way the perfume of her fear and her own personal smell mixed together sent me on a high. I closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet moment, knowing what I was about to do. I wasn't going to stop myself. I know I couldn't even if I wanted to because even though it felt like hours in my head this was all going down in less than a second. The shifting of my body, growing taller and crouching a bit to prepare for the attack. The tension in my muscles preparing my body for the jump, the heightened senses taking in where she stood and what the next best course of action was.
I could feel the tremor in my legs and before I knew it my feet no longer touched the ground, my arms stretched horizontally to keep my balance and a snarl coming from my lips I pounced, like a predator for its prey and I could already feel her skin under my fangs, ripped away and her blood streaming down her neck. I could see it all happening in my head.
But before I had the chance to sink my teeth in her delicious neck I felt the wind being punched out of my lungs as I was flung backwards against the wall. The impact was big, the punch still tingling on my skin of steel. I got up again in a heartbeat and stormed for my attacker but he got to me before I could even see him as I was suddenly thrown against my bedroom door before I was picked up, brutally shaken and thrown back against the wall before my body crumpled and fell on to the bed. I wanted to get up again and fight but there was a thought pushing its way back into my head again. Through the small throbbing of my head and Rachels screaming to leave me alone and her begging questions of what was going on in here, I could hear the voice loud and clear.
Don't move. Stay down.
I don't think so boy, I want to rip her throat open and tear her apart, do you even get how thirsty I am?
It was taking over my body, the scorching heat of being so thirsty, so hungry. I needed something to plunge my teeth in deep and the only snack in the room was Rachel. I could feel somewhere in the back of my mind a cry to not touch her, some plea that said I would regret it, that I loved her but it was so distant in my head that it would be easy to just suffocate with a pillow. I was hungry and I wasn't going to let this little nagging voice in my head keep me from tearing down someone's throat. It felt natural to want this, it felt normal to need this. She was just a girl and I began to forget the name to the face. She became just a girl. Just a piece of meat. Something to drain.
You're not yourself right now.
I snarled at him and opened my eyes a little. I could see him standing in between me and her. The look on her face of utter terror made me want to laugh. Rage and bitterness threatened to overflow me at the sight of her. I could feel the resistance of the voice becoming smaller and smaller. Hunger burning at my insides, happiness at the prospect of sucking her dry took over my mind. I looked around trying to find a way past him and he noticed my movements and chuckled.
You won't get past me Miss.
I looked at him unbelievingly, he was small, he was a kid for heaven's sake! What would he do to me that would stop me from feeding on that girl behind him.
Stop Miss, control yourself!
It was punched into my face that thought and not gently. It rung in my ears and blinded me from everything around me. It was like an alarm going off in my head and it enraged me more. I started withering in pain as the ringing continued and I screamed out in agony.
"Stop! Stop it! Can't you see you're hurting her? Just drop it!"
I could hear the girls voice in the distance and suddenly I remembered who she was again, I cursed myself for even forgetting her.
For the second time I heard the boy's velvet voice, piercing through everything like a beautiful angelic song.
"Miss Berry I ask you to go downstairs please and wait for me there. This is none of your concern."
His voice might have been gentle and smooth but the authority in his voice carried the weight of the words he had uttered to her while keeping his eyes firmly plastered on me.
"If it concerns her it IS my business and who the hell do you think you are telling me what to do? I am not some little dog you can boss around little munchkin now let me through!"
I opened my eyes and saw her trying to push past him but he moved horizontally in one line from the left side to the right in less than seconds to keep her away from me.
Finally the funny sight made the monster in me calm a bit, amusement shining through the rage. The thirst however was still burning in my body, scorching through my organs and my every being.
"Quinn! Quinny, please just look at me! Please, baby, just…Oh come ON! Let me past!"
The sound of her voice calmed the tremors and when I opened my eyes the boy could see the change again, he could see I was coming back and I was locking the monster up again. So the ringing finally stopped. My body was spent and fell into a heap on the blankets. I sighed in pain and exhaustion ut I could already feel my body healing right back up. I guessed it wouldn't take long until I would be able to function again or even think straight. All I could see now were dark brown eyes looking at me from over his shoulder and little, female hands reaching for me. However I knew she had to go, I couldn't take any more of this. I was already so tired of the changes my body were going through, I just couldn't handle this on top of everything else so I turned away from her and curled into a ball.
The boy must've turned to her because this time it wasn't just authority I heard in his voice, it was something else, something that almost made me do the same as he spoke to her in a hushed whisper.
"You will go downstairs now Miss Berry and you will turn on the television. You will not think of anything else or do anything else until I come downstairs and tell you that you may."
I hear the shuffling of little footsteps leaving the room going down the stairs and then I heard it, the sound of the television. Surprised my eyes shot open and I rolled over to look at the boy. He had come to sit down at the end of the bed and softly sighed.
"She is going to complicate things."
He said it as if he was stating a fact, not just mentioning it as something irrelevant but stressing the words like it was one of the most important things he would ever have to say to me.
"It's hard enough to deal with family and friends but lovers they just.."
He trailed of and looked at me with the eyes of an old man, he definitely didn't look ten now.
"And it doesn't even seem like your relationship with her is simple."
I scoffed at that and he raised his eyebrows.
"There is no relationship. We are nothing. She isn't my lover. She is FINN Hudson's wife, that's what she is. And somehow she suffers of the good Samaritan complex or something. It's annoying."
He nodded at me and his look became more stern.
"Would you mind then if I erased her memory?"
"Of what?"
"Anything you want to. I can erase just this night, but I can erase you as well if you'd like."
"Could you do that to me too? Make me forget about her?"
"I'm afraid not, you're immune to compelling. You're a vampire yourself. You could do it yourself if you like."
He offered it to me but I just felt torn by it. Was it fair to do that to someone? To just make them forget things?
"When you sent her downstairs to go watch the TV, was that.. I mean did you… did she have a choice?"
"No. I did compel her if that is what you were wondering. It is used also to make people do things that you wish of them."
"You talk funny."
He looked at me incredulously.
"Sorry, it's just well she talks a bit like you too you know, with the big words and the politeness and all but you just take to a whole new level sometimes."
"I do apologize, I still haven't fully come to the 'normal' English yet, I tend to easily revert back to the English spoken in my days."
"Was that long ago?"
"Yes, very long ago indeed Miss."
"Do you miss it?"
"What do you mean Miss?"
"Home. Do you miss it sometimes? Your family and friends?"
"I was young, my family was dead and I didn't have any friends left after the war. But I had a dog. I loved him a lot. I do miss him sometimes."
"How do you deal with it? Missing?"
"I guess you learn to accept it, give it a place to rest and you move on. If you are lucky you still have a few centuries left to start over. Maybe after a while you will forget about it. Maybe you won't. It's a selective memory us vampires behold. You can use it as you please."
"Like turning off emotions?"
"In a way yes. Why do you ask Miss?"
"I just want to know if I make her forget about me, if she'll miss me and even if she doesn't I know I will. I just wanted to know if I could learn how to live with it."
"You could, but you don't have to."
"It's the safest for her isn't it?"
"Well in theory yes but she has more chance of dying in a car crash than getting bit by a trained and controlled vampire, to be honest with you."
"So I could live a normal life? A more human life?"
"In the end it is what we all strive for yes, there are only the few who give in to their monster who wish to be anything but human."
"What do you do with those then?"
The look on his face said enough.
"There is no place for them in our society, people would know about us and try to kill us. It would lead to a blood massacre that is not necessary. So we stop them in advance."
"What just happened back there.."
He nodded once.
"That was my monster then?"
"Yes, it was. You will have to learn to live with it side by side. You cannot supress it too much or it will try and take you over like before. It is why we rink human blood ad go hunting. It keeps the monster happy most of the time."
"Hunting?"
"I will tell you all about that later Miss however I must ask you to make a choice."
"I want to make her forget today and I don't know, not me I guess but I just want her to stop looking for me, I don't want her to remember being told that I was sick I guess. Today just, it never took place. She never should've come here to begin with."
"As you wish Miss."
He stood up and swiftly hopped off the bed. He looked at me once with sorrow in his eyes and almost floated out the door. I waited anxiously on my bed and didn't relax until I heard the front door open and close again. I moved off the bed and scurried to the window. I pulled the curtain back a bit to watch her get in the car. What I didn't expect was to see her looking up at me before she pulled the car out of the driveway and drove away.
Exhausted from this long and tiring day I went to lie down again. I heard a soft knock on my door before the beautiful little face appeared in my doorway again.
"I shall let you sleep now Miss. I shall take the couch."
I wanted to thank him, tell him he didn't have to stay but it was forcefully removed from my head and replaced with another thought.
I am here for you Miss. I will help you, I promised.
I nodded at him and gave him a small smile which he gave me in return.
Suddenly there was a question, so silly, something that I should've asked him before everything else and it wasn't going to budge any time soon so as I opened my mouth to speak he just shook his head in a manner of amusement. I closed it again and he pointed to his head with his finger.
What's you name pretty boy?
As he slowly closed the door he chuckled and before I knew it the name popped in my head.
Nathaniel.
I mulled it over in my head, it sounded old but fitting.
But my friends call me Nathan or Nate. Take your pick 'but stick with it'.
I laughed out loud at his poor attempt at 'normal' English. It just sounded wrong coming from him.
Nathan it is then.
I heard his little feet descending the stairs.
Goodnight Miss.
It's Quinn.
Goodnight Quinn.
Goodnight Nathan.
so what do you guys think? Let me know!
