Okay, so firstly I wanted to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to lemonecake! I wanted to update on your exact birth day but I didn't manage… but anyways, um, SURPRISE! xD So were you surprised? Did you expect it? Hope you had the best day ever, sweetie!

Secondly, thanks for all your support, I seriously needed it! I'm going to finish this story and I want to make it one the best Drake Chronicles fanfics ever, even if it means hunting down the books in my school library! As suggested, I'll try to include some chapters with the Drakes. And I'm also trying to hurry with updates for Samantha (Guest) who starts school this August. When you told me, I was like: You poor soul! Which monster makes students go to school in August, but then I found out that the majority of schools in America start school then. It's just plain unthinkable for me to start school that early, I usually start school on the 25th September. Anyways, I'll try to upload as much as possible as next year will be a bitch. It will be like when Americans sit for their SATs to go to college for me…

I'll stop boring you… so enjoy:

Unforgivable Decisions (19)

+ LUCY +

As Nick floored the gas pedal and drove off, despite the shouts of the hospital security guard, I looked up to the sky. The adrenalin of the events that had happened all too fast was still coursing through my system and I hoped that something as soothing as the evening sky could calm me down. Much to my dismay, my breathing was still coming out in long ragged pants. I felt sticky with sweat and my loose hair wasn't helping all that much.

I put a hand to my sticky neck. A dull pain ached as my hand made contact with the raw, pink skin. I retracted my hand in my lap. Blood.

"Shit." I breathed out as I opened the compartment in front of me and pulled out a couple of tissues from a box. I moved my hair to the other side of my neck and started dapping the wound with a tissue. I groaned in frustration when I realised that after the first two dabs the tissue was already soaked.

I heard a low growl come from beside me. "You're going to get the wound infected. Don't touch it. Can you handle that for a few moments till I find somewhere to stop the car?" he said. I couldn't put my finger on his exact emotion though anger seemed to be pretty close.

"You're angry." I pointed out uselessly. Nick snickered. "No, why should I be angry. Everything's just peachy. All we're missing are the fucking unicorns and rainbows."

I scowled at him. "No need to be sarcastic. You're not the one who may bleed to death." All of a sudden, the took a sharp right into a side street which I hadn't noticed before as it was curtained by the surrounding trees. I'm pretty sure that if anyone happened to drive down the main road, they wouldn't acknowledge that we could be here unless they knew of the existence of the street.

"You may be bleeding to death, but just so you know, I can still feel every single thing you're feeling." he started.

"Okay, you're right. That was low of me." I said in a small voice, unused to giving him any kind of credit.

He shook his head at me. "No, that isn't the least of my worries, really. It was the vampire that almost raped you that I'm worried about." He said, his voice rising with every word, making me wince.

"He's dead now." I muttered. He nodded, "Yes, he may be dead but that still doesn't tell me why out of all people in the whole state, a vampire had to choose you. Did he tell you anything? Did Lady Natasha send him?" he asked me, worry written all over his voice.

"I-" Truthfully I was at loss of words. What would he say if I told him that he mentioned my father? Would he believe me? Or would he laugh at me?

"Your neck is hurting you, isn't it? I can feel my own neck stinging from pain." He said. He motioned for me to sit on his lap. Gingerly, I moved into the crammed space of the sports car and tilted my neck at the perfect angle for him to inspect it.

After a pregnant moment of silence, Nick grunted. "What?" I asked him. In response he bit on his own wrist. "You've lost a lot of blood. Drink up. I'll neutralise the wound for you. Probably he left some of his venom as he was dying."

"Yeah, why did he die like that? Not that I'm not relieved." I asked him. He shrugged. "My best guess would be that since you're bonded with me, it makes your blood off limits to any other vampire. Now drink up." He held his bleeding wrist closer to my mouth, willing me to drink.

"Not just my blood." I muttered under my breath. He moved his wrist away. "Wait, what do you mean?

I shifted uncomfortably on top of him. He stopped me by pinning my wrists to his lap. "Answer me."

"I… he… when he tried to um, rape me, he was actually trying to make me feel um, aroused. But I literally just couldn't. I kept thinking of how disappointed you'd be which basically overpowered his physical touch." His silence troubled me more than any words could. I watched him as he bit on his wrist again as the wound had healed already and practically put his wrist to my mouth. I licked my lips, which were now stained with his blood. I started running my tongue along his wound, enjoying the fact how such a simple action could make him quiver with pleasure. I felt the wound clotting as his skin went back to it soft smoothness. I laid small kisses along what had once been his bite wound. He trembled before he moaned. I smiled in an evil manner, "You like this don't you?" He didn't need to answer, as I knew that he did. He was panting lowly, trying to make his small sounds as unnoticeable as possible. I smiled again as I wriggled till he let my wrists free. I shifted my position till I was straddling him. I leaned forwards to kiss his neck, loving the fact that for once, I was taking over of the situation. But he held me back.

With a steady, swift hand, he tiled my neck and started sucking at the wound. I gasped, as I couldn't believe how such a simple action could turn me on to this point. He sucked harder, making me moan. I felt disappointed when just as I was reaching pleasure he stopped sucking and started placing kisses down my neck. Not that I didn't enjoy the feel of his lips on my skin, it was just that it felt exhilarating giving him my blood. He must have noticed,

"I can't drink more, even though I want to. I'd have to give you my blood again which would be pointless." he said, but it was obvious that he wasn't really focusing on what he was saying. "I wouldn't mind." I muttered against his lips. "Of course you wouldn't. You're becoming a blood junkie, Lu-" I pressed my lips further into his. Our lips moulded together, and my body automatically arched up to meet his. I shifted as close as possible to him, making him moan. "You little tease." he said in a husky, lust filled voice. I grinned but my smile faltered into a look of pure lust when I felt his lips at my ear. He bit softly on my earlobe making me shudder with pleasure. "I have never been so scared in my life. As your emotions poured into me… I almost lost it. I felt your pain and all I wanted was to rip apart whatever was causing it. When I found that fucker trying to get his way with you, I really lost it. I must have scared you." he said earnestly. I shook my head. "To be honest, I was mystified by you. You looked so strong, you were freed from any façade you've ever put up." I felt the side of his lips quirk up. "Freed? I was baring my fangs in front of you. I know that my vampiric face is not a pretty sight."

"To be honest, I don't care." I said as I shifted my face to kiss him. "You should though. I could hurt you." I shook my head. "Again, I don't care."

He then cupped my face. "Say it," he almost begged. "What?" I asked him. His sudden drastic mood change scared me.

"Promise me you're mine and only mine." he said, sounding desperate now. Whenever I imagined this moment I hoped I'd be with the man of my dreams whom I would already have programmed my life with. I'd certainly never thought that something as stupid as a bond would make me feel like this. And to be honest, this was my biggest problem. I didn't know if my feelings for him and his feelings for me were provoked by the bond or if they were really there.

The more I looked in his grey eyes, so desperate and anxious for me to yield to him completely, the more I found my uncertainty growing. I had dreamed of this day, sure back than I had dismissed it as something caused by the intake of excessive booze, but still. In my vivid dream, I felt as if I would burst with happiness, then why was I feeling so depressed all of a sudden?

"What's wrong, Lucy?" he asked me. I closed my eyes and shook my head violently. I was starting to feel lightheaded again. But Nick knew what to do, as always. He forced my head against his chest as he caressed me and soothed me into silence. My breathing returned to normal and I no longer felt as if I would pass out at any moment. "Lucy, please answer me. I can't help you if you don't."

"It's the stupid bond. That's what makes you talk like that. That's where all this 'tell mw you're mine' bullshit came from. If it hadn't been for the bond, you wouldn't bother to look at me twice." I heard Nick chuckle as he placed a soft kiss on the crown of my head. I pushed against his chest, trying to get away from him. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked him, my voice sounding way too harsh.

"You seriously think that all of this is just an effect of the bond? You are really thick then, Lucky." he said laughingly. I failed to find any hint of humour in this situation.

"Sometimes I wonder how someone as smart as you can be so unobservant." I punched him in the shoulder. Hard. "Stop talking in code. Or else I'm getting up and I'll walk all the way to my house on my own." I opened his door but just as I was about to step outside, he pushed be back inside with one tug on my arm. He leaned down and crashed his lips to mine. I hated the fact how with just one kiss he could make me forgive every single one of his faults, but at the same time I loved the feel it gave me, as if warmth was spreading through me.

"I starting falling for you when you were fourteen. You were the first girl I have crushed on. But I knew that because of the whole, vampire-human state I could never tell you how I felt, but I still loved teasing you- in fact I still do. It's why we bonded in the first place. Nature isn't stupid, it would need us deeply attracted to each other to make as many kids as possible. The bond just enhances what we feel. If you're attracted to me, it's not the bond which makes you feel like that. It's you." I smiled as I caressed his hands which were now cupping my face. "I don't know if it's just a heat of the moment thing, but I think I'm in love with you, Lucky." My mouth was hanging open by now but it slowly quirked up in a smile. I could see the uncertainty in his eyes. He looked unsure if he had done the right thing by confessing his feelings.

I removed any uncertain feelings or seed of doubt when I kissed him softly on his lips and hugged him.

"I'm yours Nicky. Only yours."
