Eren's Pov
I knew better than this, never drink old blood. It makes you vomit, which is exactly what just transpired in the last five minutes.
I had a great idea to try and heal my whip lashes with blood bags. Not knowing that there were old blood bags sitting there in the cooler, I reached in and took my pick. Five minutes after finishing the whole damn thing off, I came to be throwing up all the blood I desperately needed and practically hugging the toilet for dear life.
I haven't been drinking much blood to begin with, nothing tastes appealing anymore. I haven't even gotten a drop of Levi's! After leaving, I was so stressed out with protecting my Clan to feed myself. Thus causing me to go red eyed more often that I should. So now with no blood in me and not being able to, this toilet and I will be getting to know each other quite well. I can't risk attacking anyone and since my room has a bathroom connected... well it just works.
My eyes shut allowing me to rest, to block out the pounding in my head and the upset stomach. A knock on the door makes me groan. Who's bothering me now?
"Come in if you dare." I meekly threaten, my voice croaks causing me to sound very sick and very not scary.
The door opens and a gust of lavender fills my nostrils. So Minas' come to take care of me, eh?
"Oh Eren, are you alright?!" She shrieks at the sight of blood on my chin and shirt. Mina is Thomas's inamorata, but she can barely handle giving blood much less looking at it.
"Yup just drank old blood, I'll be fine here soon." I open my eyes and look at the girl. She's barely legal for Thomas, such a small thing. With about as much strength as I still have, which is little to none, I push myself up away from the white toilet. Mina sits down beside me with a wet rag in her hand. She places the cloth on my forehead and smiles when I catch her eye.
"Mina, thank you for doing this, but you should really go. I'm not in complete control of myself." Mina doesn't even hear what I say or just doesn't care to react. Fool, what if I attack her? Thomas won't be here in time.
"I think you're really brave, you took your punishment full-heartedly. Most of the upper class vampires wouldn't have even bothered to shape shift. We all know what you are and most importantly what affects you. Silver can't mark a Deity, I saw that in one of the old dusty books in the library. Sorry I just wanted to thank you, I never get to talk to you. Thomas used to be so afraid of other vampires. It wasn't until you took over that he finally let me talk to everyone. I'll send up someone less human-e. Bye Eren." She stands and leaves before I can utter out a thank you. So much for being an ungodly being.
"Great news, great great news indeed!" Sasha screams from the hallway as she runs to my room. There goes my chance at a nap. In less than three seconds, the brunette rips my door open and dances around my room. Obviously gleaming in excitement.
"Sasha tell me the good news." I almost groan out from underneath the black covers. "Great! Great news!" She corrects me, when I peak at her from my blanket of warmth, a huge smile is branded on her face.
"The great news then, what is it?" And that breaks the dam.
"Connie wants me to change him! We're gonna get married soon! Yahoo!" She screams as she runs down the hallway to tell more of her family the great news. I smile and lay back down. We all deserve to have some happiness, even if we are blood sucking monsters.
The ceremony would be held the following Saturday. As per tradition, Sasha and Connie would be required to marry first then the transformation could happen. It'll take Connie from four days to almost nine weeks to fully change. Some humans take it easier than others. Once Connie finally becomes a vampire, we'll be able to determine his rank. Hopefully since his inamorata is a Secure, he'll have a higher rank too. Our Clan could use some more high ranked vampires.
The couple begged to have the wedding in the woods behind our home. Ymir and I couldn't really find one good reason why not to so before Saturday, we'll have to prepare the woods with decoration. I don't really know how to set up a wedding especially not a vampire one.
Which leads me to now, with my nose in "I do: What to Do and Say At Your Vampire Wedding". A charming novel probably meant more for women than men. Sexist author, shaking off my slight annoyance, I close the book up and lean back in my chair.
This wedding is going to kill me. I have to hire a vampire priest since no one around here knows the vows. Where the fuck do you even go to hire a vampire priest? Seriously, that sounds made up. If Sasha and Connie allow it, I'll probably just let them make up their own vows and then complete the ceremony. The actually wedding is a lot like a humans. The only different part is that after the kiss, the vampire is suppose to turn their inamorato or inamorata. I'm not exactly sure on how to do that either, since I was injected with vampire blood it leads me to the conclusion that a human just has to have vampire blood running through their system.
I take a deep breath and look around the library which looks more like a graveyard for books, with dust and cobwebs laying on everything. When humans come in this small room, it was about the size of an average room but compared to other libraries this one was tiny, they tend to sneeze immediately after entering. I should really clean this room. Damn how long has it been since someone dusted in here?!
That's it! I scoot my chair back creating a loud squeaking noise at the motion. I hurriedly leave the room and head for our supply closet. Windex, bleach, and any good cleaning supply can be found in the walk in closet. After finding the little duster and a bottle of table cleaner, I walk straight back into that horrible excuse of a room and begin to clean. Until not even one speck of dust dares to show itself in my presences.
"You're recovering quite nicely, Ymir must not have been too cruel or you just transformed back." The little soldier boy, Jean, stands behind me. Truth be told, I don't really care much for this... inamorato but Marco seems to really love him so I don't say anything. But times like these make it hard for me to not snap.
"I did change back, my punishment is over. I am not required to stay in a lower rank nor will I do so. I'm the alpha of this Clan for a reason, Jean. I intend to stay as strong as I can, less people seem to die when I can protect them." I don't look at him as I speak, if I did I would probably be glaring.
"So is that why you felt the need to break your own rules? I didn't know that Levi was apart of this Clan. You were taking care of him more than your own. But that's none of my business I guess. I'm just a simple human that knows nothing. Only a source of food, not even worth-" My hands land on his shoulders and with all my strength I keep myself from pushing him into the wall. My grip tightens but not to a dangerous amount.
"Listen up you horse shit, I did fuck up alright. No matter how hard I try, Levi is still my lover and I can't change that. But you need to understand that once we, vampires, find our inamorato's nothing is the same anymore. Everyone tastes like shit, everyone looks like shit, everyone but that one goddamn person. So shut the fuck up about how I don't care about my Clan and how I think humans are so worthless. I'm in love with the worst human of all! He hates vampire so much that he would rather risk his life to kill them all than be in love with one of them. When I went to Levi night after night, it wasn't so we could hump like rabbits or sleep in each others arm. I went to see if he was still in love with me. And night after night, all I could see is how much he misses the human version of me. Levi has never loved me, he fears what I am and hates it. The last time I went into his dream, he let me bite him because he wanted me to look human again. Now tell me Jean, is that any way for an inamorato to feel about his lover?" Tears sting my eyes as they gather, begging to be released so that they may venture down my cheeks.
Jean takes a deep breath in, from how close I am to him, I'm not surprised. I'm scaring him just like I do to Levi.
"Eren, I never really talked to Levi but he was my role motel for a long time. I used to think he saved me from the evil vampires, the monsters who took my parents. But when I met Marco... I couldn't look at Levi the same anymore. Levi would kill anything that even looked strange but after he met you-" Jean smiles as he remembers. "Everyone could tell how much he loved you. When you started to stay over at Levi's everyone could tell. Levi would walk into work with donuts and would smile to himself when he thought no one was looking. Ha I bet he smiled every time he saw the picture of you on his desk. I don't know Levi as well as you but, Levi loved you enough to defy Erwin. Levi was suppose to kill you once he got your trust. If anything Eren, it seems to me that you both are just scared to be together. I'm sorry that I misread the situation." Jean pats my shoulder, then leaves me in the newly cleaned library. These humans are going to be the death of me.
I allow myself a few minutes to recover before I start to put away the cleaning supplies. Maybe I should go ahead and do the basement stairs, they were horrible. But I'm interrupted when Marco crashes into the library.
"Marco?" His skin is as white as snow and his breathing is ragged. Which is usually a sign of stress for vampires, since we don't need to breath. However, if he's breathing then he must be scared. Unlike most vampires, Marco doesn't breath when stressed.
"The Sina Clan wishes to speak with you." I smile, good its about time. Those bastards have been avoiding any type of meeting unless we confirm that Annie is alive.
"But they said for you to come immediately and... alone." Marco's breathing speeds up, his scent reeks of fear. He's starting to freak me out, shit.
"I don't understand what's wrong?" I walk over to him, but with each step I take Marco stiffens. This is bad, whatever Marco knows, well its not good. I try to brace myself for whatever he tells me. I know that I can handle whatever he tells me, I've been through much worse. I'm sure of it.
"They took Levi" Marco barely mutters as he turns away from me.
How am I suppose to be prepared for this?
