CHAPTER 7 ~~~~~~NICK'S POV~~~~~~ I stood behind Brian as Alex yelled at him. The blood lust still had a slight hold on me, making it hard for me to focus. Kevin and Howie had left the room, in fear of getting in the way of a fight. I didn't blame them, with Alex being a thousand years old. Alex wasn't too pleased with my "incident". Blinking I was able to focus, "What were you thinking when you thought that you could control a revenant vampire!?" Brian narrowed his eyes, "I'm sorry... "Sorry? Sorry doesn't make up for the fact that a girl is dead because of your lack of control. You are too young to be a Master vampire! We are now going to have to leave...they'll start a search for Nickolas." Brian glared, "He was going to die..." "I don't care if he died!! What did I tell you about humans? They are only useful for one thing...food...Never become close to a human..." Brian smirked, "But I do remember you becoming close to a human..." The next thing that happened was a blur. Alex struck out with his hand and slapped Brian across the face. Brian's head snapped back, as blood flew from his mouth. The blood lust flared up inside me for a brief moment, at the sight of blood. I didn't realize what I was doing till I took Alex to the ground. His eyes widened for a brief moment as we both hit the ground, me landing atop of him. He kicked his feet out, flipping me over him. I sailed into a big chair, bringing it down with me. Using Alex's preternatural speed, he was straddling me. His lips were pulled back in a snarl. Alex's hate for me left a bitter taste on my tongue. He snarled, "You don't know your place! You are a revenant! The lowest on the foodchain, just above humans!" Nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. Alex lowered his face to my neck and bit down. I screamed out in pain, as he bit harder. Panicking, I tried to push him off, but he grabbed me hands...nearly crushing them. He bit harder and deeper, till his fangs grated the bone in my neck. I screamed out again, but no one moved to do anything. My blood flowed out of the wound in a warm rush. Alex greedily lapped at my blood, then tore at my throat. My scream was bubbly, as blood dribbled from my mouth. Alex growled, as he licked at the blood at the corner of my mouth, then pulled away. His eyes were no longer brown, but were a drowning pool of black...the blood lust swimming in them. He blinked, his eyes swirling to their normal color. The brief moment of eye contact we had, I knew he would have killed me. Alex stood up in a fluid motion and turned to Brian, "You have to punish our fledgling when he gets out of hand..." He glanced at me, an evil smile on his lips, "...or I will." He licked his lips, cleaning them of my blood. "Dawn is near...I suggest you turn in. We leave at night." With that he left the room. ~~~~~~BRIAN'S POV~~~~~~ I fell to Nickolas's side. His throat was a bloody mess. Alex had almost torn his throat out, but had stopped himself to make a point to Nickolas. Nickolas looked at me with panic in his eyes as he tried to breathe. I leaned forward and placed a reassuring kiss on his forehead , "You will heal overnight. It feels like you are going to die, but he could have killed you...he wants to kill you. He doesn't like the fact that you are taking my attention from him..." I looked at Nickolas, as he wheezed...his throat slowly healing. "Once he loved me...I didn't feel the same. I think he still loves me, and he hates you...because he thinks I love you." Nickolas swallowed, then coughed up blood, "Do you?" I was taken aback. I stuttered, "I-I don't know..." I licked my lips nervously, "Come, dawn is nearer, and we need to rest." I took his hands and gently pulled him up. My mind swam with emotions...Did I love Nickolas? Is that why I changed him? CHAPTER 8 ~~~~~~NICK'S POV: A WEEK LATER~~~~~~ I lied back in the bed that I slept on. It has been a week since I first became a vampire. My control over the blood lust is still very weak, but I haven't killed anyone since that girl. Alex is mad, I think it's the fact that Brian is able to control me and his own blood lust...and he's proving Alex that he is stronger than Alex thinks he is. I think he wants me to get caught when I lose control, so Alex would make Brian leave me behind to fend for myself. I've heard him threaten about that. I close my eyes, still feeling drowsy and wanting to go back to sleep, when Brian walks up and flicks me in the forehead, "OW! What was that for?" I glare at him as he laughs, "Alex wants us all to get going, there is a ball in town and everyone is invited. He thinks it's a good place to go feed." It seems too perfect. Alex is planning to have us go to the ball and hopefully have me lose control and then they can leave me. Brian sighs as if he heard what I had been thinking, "Yeah, I think Alex is planning on you losing control to the blood lust...but I have something else planned..." Brian pulls his sleeve back and holds his wrist out to me. Me being his fledgling, I can feed off of him and feed the blood lust before we hunt. I look up into his eyes as he sits next to me, his wrist still held out. Taking his wrist, I flick my tongue over the vein. He licks his lips as he watches me. The sharing of blood between two vampires like this is almost like sex. I pull my lips back and sink my fangs into his wrist. Brian hisses in pain as my fangs pierce the vein. His blood flows from the wound and into my mouth. For a brief moment, I let the feeling of Brian's blood move through me. I wrap my mouth around his wrist as I swallow his blood. Brian moans as he tilts his head back. See? It looks like he's having sex! His blue eyes lock with mine as I feed. The look in his eyes is pure pleasure. I continue to feed, wet slurping noises fill the room. My throat muscles work as I swallow his blood. My body feels warmer as Brian's blood begins to circulate with mine. Out of nowhere the blood lust flares up. I growl as I bite down harder on his wrist, trying to fight the urge to drink Brian dry. Brian's breathing is heavy, but he hisses in pain as my fangs find his bone. ~~~~~~BRIAN'S POV~~~~~~ Okay, OW! That hurt! Just a moment ago I was fighting the urge to push Nickolas to the bed. Now I have to try to get him to stop. I moan as he realizes some of the pressure on my wrist and feeds. NO! I have to stop him, the blood lust is taking over and if I don't stop him soon...he might drink me dry. Gently I try to pull my wrist away. Nickolas looks up at me, a growl coming from his throat. His eyes aren't blue anymore, but are now black...the blood lust has him...crap... "Nickolas..." He growls louder as he holds on tighter, feeding faster. I begin to feel light headed...no more pleasure. I push on his chest and pull my wrist back. Nickolas snarls as I manage to get him to pull away from my wrist. As soon as he has released mt wrist and is no longer feeding, I let him go. "Okay...now we have..." Before I can finish Nickolas lets out an animal like sound and pushes me to the bed, fangs going for my throat. If this had been under any other circumstances I wouldn't have minded. We wrestle on the bed trying to be on top. Finally, I have him under me, hands pushing his chest down. He thrashes wildly as he tries to throw me off of him. "NICKOLAS!!" I yell at him, trying to reach him through the blood lust. He snarls, his fangs still red with my blood. I sigh, I have to... I slap him...hard... Nickolas stops thrashing and looks at me shocked. It's his eyes, not the blood lust. I reach my hand out to wipe the blood that is trickling from the corner of his mouth. He flinches, fear in his eyes. I gently wipe the blood, getting a whimper of fear from him. This is the first time I have used real force to control him and it scares him. I feel tears well up in my eyes, I don't want him to fear me... I lean down kissing him softly on the forehead and whispering, "I'm sorry...I..." He looks at me, eyes searching mine. He smiles nervously and runs his hand over my face, wiping the tears away, "It's okay..." I smile as I sit up. Nickolas returns the smile, but it disappears as he looks past me. I turn around to see Alex leaned against the doorway, looking pleased. "That was interesting." I glare at him. "I told you...you would have to use force..." I snarl, "You saw him lose controls like that and didn't help!?" Alex shrugged, "He's your fledgling..." With that he left, laughing to himself. I turn to Nickolas. His face is twisted into a look of anger. "Come on...we better get going..." He nods, still glaring in the direction Alex had been. I sigh as we begin to get ready for the ball. CHAPTER 9 ~~~~~~BRIAN'S POV~~~~~~ The ride to the town's ballroom is a very bumpy ride. It also doesn't help that five of us are crammed into a small carriage. Nickolas is sitting next to me, staring quietly out the window of the carriage. I think he's quiet, because he feels bad at losing control. The skin on the back of my neck stands up, as I feel as if someone is staring at me. I look up and sure enough…Alex is staring at me. He realizes that I have caught him looking at me and looks away, glaring at Nickolas in the process. If looks could kill…Nickolas would have dropped dead in the carriage. Alex turns back to me and glares, his lips pulled back into a snarl. I narrow my eyes at him. Ever since Nickolas became my fledgling, Alex and I have drifted apart. We were always kinda close, I guess. Alex rests his head on Kevin's shoulder and rests his hand on his thigh. Alex loves Kevin like I think he still loves me. Kevin sighs happily as he kisses the top of Alex's head, intertwining fingers with Alex's. The two of them are lovers and aren't afraid to show it. I glance at Howie, who is Alex's first fledgling. His eyes are cold and show anger. Howie loves Alex, but Alex doesn't see him that way. He glares as Alex tilts his head up towards Kevin's lips, pressing his lips roughly against them. Kevin sighs as he runs his hands through Alex's hair…their tongues running over the others. I feel bad for Howie. This whole situation is like one big drama….hard to keep track of who loves who. The carriage comes to a stop outside of the large ballroom. Howie is the first and fastest to get out of the carriage, followed by Alex, and Kevin. I get out and turn back to the inside of the carriage. Nickolas is huddled in the corner where he was sitting, looking scared. I offer my hand, "Nickolas…" His eyes slowly turn to mine…he's scared. "What if I lose control again? There are so many people…" His voice trails off, as he watches a large group enter the ballroom. I smile, "You'll be okay…I'll take care of you." Nickolas sits there debating if he wants to get out, but finally climbs out…blue eyes darting around the people. I gently squeeze his hand as I lead him towards the door. Inside, people are dancing in a swirl of bright colors and petticoats. I stand beside Howie, Kevin, and Alex as they survey the room…picking their prey out. Alex flicks his tongue over his lips, rubbing his hands together, "Well boys, time to have some fun!" Evil grins spread over Howie's and Kevin's faces, as they leave to mingle with the crowd. I start to laeve after them, as a hand roughly grabs mine. "Don't leave me…" I turn to Nickolas and smile, "I'll be back. I'm going to find someone, then bring them back to you." He nods slowly, flicking his tongue over his fangs. I nudge him, "Careful…people can see your fangs…" With that I leave Nickolas. ~~~~~~NICK'S POV~~~~~~ No!! Why does Brian have to leave me? The smell of blood fills the room. I can feel the blood lust bubbling below the surface. I watch as a young girl tosses her head back laughing as Alex whispers something. Her neck is exposed, and I can see Alex smile his fangs barely showing. Laughter fills the room as couples dance on the floor. Part of me wants to go and dance, but I know that being that close to people will make the blood lust rise up and take over…that would be bad. Laughter nearby catches my attention. Brain is walking in my direction, a curvy raven-haired girl clutching to him. He catches my glance and winks. He stops in front of me and pauses, "You ready to go?" The girl giggles shrilly, "He's going to join us!?" Brian smiles and nods. Her eyes widen, licking her lips, "Hmmmm." I look her over and know right away she is a whore. Her clothes are a cheap attempt to fit in amongst the crowd. The smells that sicken me about her is the strong smell of alcohol and the smells of all of the men she has fucked. I look her over. She has large breasts that are nearly falling out of the neckline of her dress. Her green eyes shine as she turns to Brian, "Are we going to the Inn now?" My jaw nearly falls to the floor as I realize that she thinks we are going to have sex with her. Brian smiles, "If Nickolas will move from his spot." I blink at Brian and the whore…this is too weird. We leave to go to the Inn. We are barely in the room that Brian has paid for when the whore wraps her arms around his neck. She kisses him roughly, hands running over his back. For some odd reason, I feel jealous. Their tongues meet in a duel, as her hands move to unbutton Brian's shirt. He slowly moves towards the bed, still kissing her. The back of her knees hit the edge of the bed, causing her to fall back…Brian falling on her. She giggles, arching her back as Brian kisses her neck. I really have no idea what to do, but sit at the edge of the bed. I watch as Brian's hands cup her breasts, his tongue flicking over the main artery in her neck. She giggles, almost tearing Brian's shirt off, as he unties the bodice to her dress, her breast now uncovered. Again the whore pulls Brian into a kiss, her legs and arms wrapping around him. I lick my lips as I feel myself strain against my pants. Brian moans as she starts to grind against him. He looks at me, his eyes swirling between black and blue…the blood lust is trying to take him. His voice is deeper, "Nickolas….come here…" He's now panting. I crawl up to them, looking at Brian…not sure what to do. The whore pulls away from the passionate lip-lock, glancing at me, "I want to see you kiss him." I choked, before I spoke, "WHAT!?" CHAPTER 10 ~~~~~~BRIAN'S POV~~~~~~ "WHAT!?" Nickolas looks at the whore as if she's crazy. He slowly crawls backwards. She looks at me, "I have never been with two men at the same time…I just want to watch you kiss him. Kiss Nickolas? My cock strains against my pants at the thought. Ever since I met Nickolas, I have been attracted to him…dreaming of kissing him. That night that Nickolas asked if I did love him, I realized that I was attracted to him both emotionally and physically. I even think I am in love with him. I turn to look at Nickolas. His eyes widen, as he realizes what I am thinking. I shrug, as I crawl closer to him, " We have to give what the lady wants…" With that I roughly grab both sides of Nickolas's face and press my lips against his. At first he stiffens, as I run my tongue over his lips, trying to gain acces to his mouth. To make him less nervous, I run one of my hands over the back of his neck and the other gently run over the small of his back. Nickolas moans. HA! I think I have found his soft spot. Nickolas moans, as he opens his mouth for me. Both of our tongues meet in an eager duel. I moan as Nickolas plays with the hair at the nape of my neck. Nickolas pulls away, sucking on my lower lip. Now I have to fight, wanting to push him to the bed. I eagerly pull his face to me again, our tongues now fighting for dominance in the other's mouth. After kissing passionately, we pull away. I gently nibble on his lower lip. Nickolas smiles as he gives me a drugged smile. We both turn to the whore. She smiles, turned on by our little show. The whore grabs Nickolas and pulls him down onto him. She flicks her tongue over his ear, before whispering not so quietly to Nickolas, "Is he as good of a kisser, as he was for me?" Before Nickolas can answer, she roughly pulls him into a kiss. I smile as I kiss Nickolas on the cheek. A pain rips through my stomach and chest. SHIT! I haven't fed yet, and the blood lust is attempting to control me. I lick my lips, as I start to pull her dress over her shoulders. ~~~~~~NICK'S POV~~~~~~ I moan as the whore runs her hands over my neck and my back. It seems just a moment ago I was kissing Brian like this. I can't believe I kissed Brian! That kiss was the best I have had…ever! I look at Brian as he kisses every part of her body that is now exposed. My cock twitches, as she pulls me closer. She moans as Brian latches onto one of her exposed breasts. This is turning me on, part of me wanting to be the whore. WHAT!? Where did that come from? I am shocked to realize that I want Brian to do everything he is doing to the whore. Could I possibly love Brian? I pause to think, but it doesn't last long as the whore's hand finds my cock. She starts to rub it through my pants. I moan as I watch Brian now dipping his tongue into her bellybutton, getting a giggle from her. Brian pulls her dress over hips, and over legs until she is lying naked on the bed. The whore moans, pulling me closer to her. Brian pulls her legs apart, kissing the inside of them. He raises his head. I quickly look at the whore…her eyes are closed, her head thrown back. Good, she doesn't see that Brian's eyes are now black. The blood lust has Brian. I am fine, since I fed off of him, but he hasn't fed yet. The whore moans, as Brian flicks his tongue over her wet center. I can't take this, as my cock tightens…I'm going to need a release. Roughly I kiss her on the lips, before I wander towards her neck. I kiss, lick, and suck on her neck. I pull my lips back…ready to strike. Before I do so, I look to see what Brian is doing. He is now licking along the inside of her thigh. Brian looks up at me, the blood lust in his eyes as he sinks his fangs into her thigh. The whore stiffens as his fangs find the vein. I watch as his neck works, while swallowing her blood. For some reason watching him feed off of the whore is making me harder…if that is possible. That's one thing that confuses me…we are supposed to be dead, but I guess my body still functions as if I was alive…if you catch what I'm trying to say. I kiss the whore's neck, bore making my way down. Her breathing is getting fast…hopefully Brian isn't drinking too much. I kiss her right above her breasts, flicking my tongue over her skin. I pull my lips back, as I sink my fangs into her skin above her breasts. Her blood rushes into my mouth making the blood lust flare up. It doesn't hit me as strong, since I have already fed off of Brian. I swallow as the blood rushes to my veins, filling me with warmth. Her breathing speeds up as I drink her blood. Shit! We are drinking too much! I can't pull away. The blood lust has a strong hold on me. I feel Brian pull me away. "No more." His voice is still deep, but the blood lust is leaving him. I look at the whore, her eyes are closed. "Is she…." "No, she'll sleep…she's lost a lot of blood." I look at Brian noticing he still has some of her blood on his lips. ~~~~~~BRIAN'S POV~~~~~~ I gasp as Nickolas grabs my face, pressing his lips against mine. He kisses me roughly, his tongue finding mine. I wince as his fangs cut my tongue. Note to self: If I ever kiss Nickolas, remember that he can't hide his fangs yet. Nickolas moans as he sucks on my tongue. He moves to my lips, sucking on each one before flicking his tongue over them. I moan, as he runs his hands over my neck and back while kissing my neck. My eyes are threatening to roll into the back of my head. I want this…I have wanted this for the longest time. No…not tonight… I push on his chest, "No…Nickolas. Dawn is near." He pulls away, hurt in his eyes. I smile kissing his forehead. He pulls a tight smile. My smile falls. Nickolas is sad. I take his hand, "Dawn is near…" He nods standing up and heading for the door. I sit shocked at his reaction. Nickolas turns around, "Well? Down is near…" His voice sounds bitter. I sigh, as I pull myself from the bed. I follow him out of the room. We need to talk tommorrow night. BACK NEXT |
