Chapter 18
We looked each other in the eyes for some time. I noticed that the hands had given up in trying to pull us apart. We both sighed at the same time, we were both thinking the same thing. We can't stay like this forever, eventually we'd have to face her family. We turned in unison towards them, it looked like all of them were there, the shouting must have been louder than I had thought to get them all here. The room didn't even fit them all. Their was a 5 foot circle around us that didn't have anyone. Everyone was staring at us. Terial was sitting in the chair that he had been when Rebeca knocked him out, not that he could move without bumping into anyone. Alice, Arial, Clair, Travis, Rebeca's mom and her dad were up front. Everyone was quiet for awhile after we turned. Clair was shaking with anger.
"I'm going to kill you you bastard!" She yelled and she lunged at me, Travis had her by her arms.
"Let me go Travis, I'm going to rip those fangs of his right out of his head!" She yelled.
"How dare you hurt my baby sister, I'll kill you!" She continued to yell. She slipped from Travis's grasp and lunged at me. Rebeca stepped in front of me, and spread her arms blocking me off from all of them.
"This isn't Mich's fault. I went into his room, knocked Terial out on my own, and provoked Mich into drinking from me," She told them all. Clair ran past Rebeca, she obviously didn't care about what Rebeca said or she didn't hear. She threw a punch at me, it connected with my jaw but it didn't hurt much and I barely moved my head when she hit. I winced in pain but didn't say anything.
"Stop it Clair," Rebeca said. She threw another fist. I grabbed it with the palm of my hand, my hand wrapping around enclosed fist. I wouldn't let it go and she couldn't move it. She tried the with free fist. I grabbed that one the same as the last one. She growled at me. I had a blank face and a blank stare. She snarled and quickly, quicker than me she bit into my arm. I felt it bad, like my blood was on fire. I cried out, she was drinking from me. I gripped her hair with one of my hands and pulled but she would let go of me. Rebeca was about to put her hands on her sister's forehead but Travis stopped her. I saw a flash of lighting go out and it hit me in the face. My world exploded in white and I felt my head hit the floor hard, I felt the dull ache of pain that accompanied such a fall was combined with the blinding of my hearing, and my sight and the pain of burning and the smell of burned flesh was too much, I passed out soon after hitting the floor.
I woke up later. I wasn't in my own room, I was surprised. I sat up, I didn't see Rebeca, maybe they sent her off somewhere where I couldn't find her and I'd never see her again. I felt tears coming to my eyes just thinking about it. I wiped my eyes to get the excess water out of them. I got up and looked around I was still in the mansion's room but that could change very quickly. My head was buzzing, I touched my face, I felt very minor burn wounds, I thought that they would've been much worst. I yawned and looked at the digital clock that came with the room. 9:03. I was out for less than 2 hours. I walked over to the drawer and redressed myself in a slightly different attire. I put on a black shirt and jeans and a light midnight blue vest and decided not to zip it up. I noticed that the sleeves were tighter, indicating increased muscle growth and I felt that my shirt didn't touch my stomach like it had before, I lifted my shirt, I had a six pack now. Whoa, that's different I said to myself letting my shirt fall back. I heard the door open and I looked at the door. Rebeca walked in she smiled when she saw me up and ran to me and hugged me. I returned her embrace and smiled too.
"I thought that it might have been a little much to hit you with the lighting," She said.
"It takes a lot to bring me down now," I told her,
"Ain't that the truth," She said. She pulled back a little and kissed me. I kissed her back passonately. She smiled.
"Missed me much?" She asked smiling hanging on to me by my neck I leaned my cheek against her and held her tight.
"Very much," I told her.
"You thought that they'd take me away?" She asked. I nodded even though I knew that she knew the answer.
"Yeah well. Some did. Teial, Clair, and my parents but no one else thought that we should or more likely could be split for any amount of time, at least that was Terial's argument against his own vote," She said.
"I'd search to the ends of the earth for you, I think that they know that," I said smiling. She smiled too.
"I'm not really sure why he hit you with the lighting bolt," She told me.
"He never really seemed too against us," She said.
"Maybe it was just a convenient time to knock me out so 'the family' could talk things out with words rather than fists, and powers," I said.
"I guess your right, he was always the most level headed of all us any way," She told me, I could believe that.
"So what now. What did they decide on?" I asked her.
"They didn't really know what to do. They all think your a vampire but your more of an unexplainable vampire," I she told me. I heard the door bell ring. She sighed but kept her arms around me.
"Someone else will get the door," She said reading my mind and looking into my eyes. I leaned to her and kissed her, she kissed me back. I heard footsteps coming to the door. I pulled back.
"Door," I said. She sighed. We heard a knock on the door, she stepped away from me and opened the door. It was Alice.
"Their's someone who would like to speak to you, she says to bring Mich along," She told Rebeca and walked away.
Rebeca started walking to downstairs and I followed closely behind her. My eyes bulged when I saw who was sitting on the couch in the main room. Jene. Rebeca stopped cold.
"What are you doing here bitch?" She asked Jene.
"Who's being the bitch?" Jene asked giving Rebeca that smile of hers.
"I have information about Mich's condition," She said. Rebeca continued to walk down the remaining stairs and we sat on the couch opposite of Jene's couch. We waited a little bit.
"Well?" Rebeca said.
"How much does is this information worth?" She asked with that sly smile of her's. She was thinking something devilish.
"Not worth much past not killing you," Rebeca responded.
"If it's not worth that much..." She trailed and got up.
"Wait," I said. She smiled and turned to me. I leaned to Rebeca's ear.
"At least hear her out, we can do that at the very least. You know we are both very interested in this information. Let's hear her out," I whispered in Rebeca's ear.
"Well, what do you think it's worth?" Rebeca asked Jene reluctantly. Jene smiled and sat back down on the couch, I knew that she had planned this out.
"I want, a bite, a pleasurable bite from Mich, and a drink," She said smiling I looked at Rebeca she was about to explode.
"I don't seem to understand," I told both of them the truth. Rebeca answered.
"She wants you to bite her pleasurefuly and while you bite, she bites you and drinks," She said kind of coldly, but I knew it wasn't really directed towards me.
"It's rumored to be better than sex," Jene added. My mouth dropped, not just because it was rumored that it was better than sex but because Jene had wanted it in exchange for the information she had.
"Absolutely..." I started. Rebeca grabbed my shoulder and I stopped.
"We need some time to talk," Rebeca told Jene, she nodded. Rebeca got up and took me with her to the next room and closed the door.
"Are you actually considering this?" I asked her. She sighed, I knew what that sigh meant.
"Her information is valuable," She said. Supporting her sigh.
"But, I don't want to do this to you," I told her.
"I don't care what the information is it's not good enough for you to hurt, nothing is," I told her.
"I know that you don't really mean anything from it," She told me.
"But still..." I trailed. She sighed.
"It's your personal choice, don't think about me when you make the decision, I know that if you do it that you do it just for the information and whatever happens doesn't really mean anything. If you don't accept, I want to know that it was because you truly don't care that much about the information," She told me. I sighed, she knew I wanted the information but I would never do what Jene asked if it would hurt Rebeca. I debated with myself.
"You sure that you can convince yourself that it means nothing?" I asked.
"Yes," She said. I sighed.
"I'm going to need a few cold showers after this," I told her. She nodded and we walked back into the main room.
"So I take it you've made you decision?" She asked smiling, I guess she could see our answer in our posture and body language.
"I'll do it, but..." I trailed Rebeca looked at me.
"On 2 conditions," I said.
"Shoot," Jene said.
"First if Rebeca doesn't want to be here she can go somewhere else," I said.
"Aww, that ruins half the fun of it," She said. I gave her a sinister look of death.
"Fine. And the second?" She asked.
"Starting when I bite you a 3 minute count down starts. After the 3 minutes that's it, no more biting or drinking," I told her.
"5 minutes," I narrowed my eyes to her.
"4 minutes, final offer," I said.
"Deal," She said and smiled.
"You want to be here?" I asked Rebeca. She shook her head.
"Thank you," She said.
"4 minutes," Rebeca said coldly to Jene. And walked upstairs, I presumed to my or her own room. I still felt incredibly guilty that I had agreed to do this.
"I guess that you got over throwing up on my sight," I said with a smile. She frowned and narrowed her eyes at me.
I walked close to her, I could hear Jene's heart beating faster. Mine was too, but not for the same reasons I hoped I sighed and leaned to her, I opened my mouth and she gasped before I even bit. I bit into her soft skin and clicked my watch. She waited a second, probability regaining her senses and then bit me, pleasure flooded through me, I could've believed that it was better than sex. I couldn't have imagined the kind of bliss that would come with a pair biting and drinking from each other. Her blood flowed easily into my mouth and I thought that my heart was going to explode, it was beating so fast, so was Jene's. The pleasure was getting higher and higher with every passing moment. I couldn't control myself, I grabbed Jene by the waist and lifted her up and pushed her lightly against the wall and bit deeper into her skin. She moaned and also bit deeper, I couldn't believe that such pleasure was possible. I heard my watch go off, indicating the 3 minutes were up. She didn't stop. I summoned all the will I had left.
"Please...Stop," I told her. She didn't. Instead she drank even quicker, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"I'll never stop," She whispered and was gone. I fell to the ground, I heard someone rush down the stairs.
"Mich!" Rebeca exclaimed. I fought to keep my consciousness but somehow I managed to stay aware.
"Rebeca..."I trailed and put a hand covering my bite mark.
"I'm...Sorry," I told her.
"I pretty much agreed to this, don't be sorry, don't say anything else, or move too quickly, I know you're close to loosing consciousness. I nodded and stayed down and breathed.
"How did I know that she'd take advantage of this, I should have been here," She said to herself.
"I didn't want you to feel that pain of witnessing it," I told her weakly.
"What did I say about talking?" She asked softly. I nodded. She moved me to the couch and left for the kitchen. She came back a few seconds later with a damp wash cloth and some paper towels. She put the washcloth directly on the bite marks, she let it sit for a little bit and took it off and started drying the blood and water with the dry paper towel. She put a bandage on my neck and pushed it lightly in place.
"Thanks," I said. She nodded and went over to the couch on the opposite side.
"You might as well get some sleep it'll be a few hours until you can start moving without passing out," She told me. I laid my head down on a pillow on a couch and closed my eyes and fell asleep.
