*****
To say I panic when I saw my own blood dripping from his mouth was to put it lightly. I tried to lift my arms to fight him, but nothing on me was working. I screamed and screamed only to realize that the sound was in my head. The world slow began to blur then fade as I laid there on my back staring up at him unable to move.
My last sight was one of Mattais' sad, helpless eyes as he slipped his wrist up to his mouth and bit down on it.
Then nothing.
Until the red haze of dark burning pain struck. Whereas a few minutes ago I hadn't been able to move though I had desperately wanted to. Now my limbs were flailing around everywhere and I couldn't control them. My eyes flew open and the bright lights of the room seemed to burn them. Everything hurt. Every muscle in my body went into spasms and every nerve ending was on fire. The sounds in the room and outside of the room bombarded me until I covered my ears trying to block them out. Hands grabbed me and I fought against them with all my might because the simple touch of skin on skin was an agony that I could not handle.
Whimper, crying and screaming the pain never left me no matter what I did. My stomach twisted in nausea and I tried hard to get up, needing to make it to the toilet before I became sick. Someone stuck a bucket under my face and I violently purged my stomach of all its contents before I flopped back on the bed. I curled into a ball just wanting it all to go away.
I was dying, I just knew it. But, I didn't care. Instead of wishing for my life, I wished for death so this pain would end.
"Chloe!" shouted someone in the room.
I couldn't think of who it was, my mind was just a jumbled mess of pain and noise. A face popped into my very limited view and the source of this agony became clear.
"Chloe!" he shouted at me again forcing my attention to stay on him.
"W-what did you do to me?" I wailed in barely more than a whisper, though to my suddenly extremely sensitive ears it sounded as if I yelled it.
"I'm sorry, my love. But, it'll be over sooner than you think. Once you've passed this stage you'll sleep for days allowing your body to finish the conversation without you feeling it," he said still shouting.
I covered my ears. "Why are you shouting at me?"
"I'm not. Your hearing is now heightened. Just hold on, my love. Hold on, this will not be forever and then when you wake up I'll show you a world you'd never imagined."
I screamed and cursed and pleaded with him to just kill me at that moment. When the pain finally started to melt away I knew this was it. I looked up at him wanting his face to be the last thing I saw as I drifted into my death. Tears were rolling down his face as he bent to press a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"Sleep, my love. I'll be here when you awaken," he whispered.
I didn't bother correcting him. Not that I had the energy to anyway. I just let my lids fall and drifted off into the darkness once again.
The next time I awoke the world had become eerily quiet. No, not exactly quiet, it was more like the world was muffled. Cautiously I opened my eyes and waited for the searing pain to consume me again. When it didn't I let out the breath I had been holding and attempted to push myself upwards. The effort it took to maneuver myself was astounding. By the time I was done I was breathless and weak. It took a moment for me to get my baring and I couldn't really remember what had happened. It was all a blur of ecstasy then blinding pain. I looked around trying to get some sort of idea as to what happened the night before. But, as I looked around the room I realized that I had no idea where I was. Nothing looked familiar at all. The oversize thick curtains covered the windows and the large four post luxurious bed was not the one I fell asleep in last night. I continued to gaze around trying to find something that would hint at where I was. I looked down as a cold breeze brushed over my breasts. Where were my clothes now? When no answers came to me I gave up and tried to get off the bed. But my knees began to quake as soon as I tried to put weight on them.
"Don't get up."
I turned quickly and the sudden movement ended with me on my butt on the ground. A bitten curse echoed through the room and a set of strong arms lifted me back on the bed.
"Do not get up again. You're going to be weak until you feed. You need to stay in bed," Mattais told me firmly.
"W-what happened?" I asked him softly as I grasped the sheet and pulled it up to cover myself.
A flash of guilt raced through me as his obvious displeasure at me covering myself crossed his face. But, it soon went blank again as he began to speak.
"Do you believe in vampires?" he asked.
"Oh, dear god," I groaned. "Are you serious?"
"I take that as a no."
"Come on. What did you do to me? Did you drug me?" I accused him.
He sighed and ran his hands through his hair then began to pace around the room. I tried hard not to notice how drop dead gorgeous he looked in his loose fitting, almost pirate like, shirt and tight jeans. He really looked as if he belonged in another era. If he was trying to portray a vampire he was succeeding.
"I turned you," he finally admitted.
I felt a moment of panic. He'd turned me? Into what? A vampire? No, that was just crazy. Don't let the crazy man talk you into his fantasy, Chloe. I chided myself.
"What the hell are you talking about? The last thing I remember was this amazing feeling then nothing but pain," I told him putting my hand on my head trying really hard to remember what happened.
"I had to turn you. The moment we'd joined I knew you were the one and I couldn't let you go. I couldn't stop myself from biting you. The only choice I had was making you into one of us," he said.
