"Wait you said 'Your father is' not 'was.' Is he...is he still alive?"
She nodded and I stood up from the table and shouted.
"Well why the fuck didn't you tell me this! I spent years of my life thinking he was dead and now I find out he is actually fucking alive?"
I stormed out of the kitchen and walked angrily to the front door. I waved an arm and it slammed open then I turned and said back at her
"I'm going to Louis. At least he hasn't lied to me yet."
I grabbed my backpack from next to the door and stormed out of the front door.
As I walked away from the house I raised my arm and slammed my fist shut. I got some satisfaction of hearing the door slam shut along with the sound of the wood
**********
I stormed down the path wanting to put as much distance between my mother and I as possible and my rage peaked as I stared at the sun filled sky and I roared in rage
"Ic unlucan þæs heofon ond laetan þæs rén feallan."
The crystal blue sky darkened. I looked up and smiled as darkness spread across the sky.
I smiled wider when I saw the lightning strikes and heard the thunder. I walked down the front drive to the road. Taking satisfaction from the fact that the weather now matched the angry storm swirling in my chest, and casting a quick spell to stop me from getting wet.
I walked the few blocks to Louis' house and stomped down the path towards his front door. He opened it as I approached and I flung myself into the arms. He held me for a few seconds then moved further inside with me pushing the door shut. I dropped my bag by the front door and wrapped my arms around Louis neck.
I pulled myself up to him and forced my lips against his. His hands trailed down my back as he tugged me closer against him, his hands resting at my waist as I ravaged his mouth, trying to funnel the anger I felt into the passion I felt for my mate. The pace of our kissing slowed and we managed to stumble into the front room and landed on the sofa.
I pulled away and just rested my head on his chest and let the tears that had been hiding behind my anger flow. I didn't want to talk about my problems so I just leaned against him, seeking comfort in his embrace. He kissed the top of my head then said,
"I know you don't want to talk now. Just know I'll always be here for you, whenever you need me. Until I no longer walk this Earth."
He pulled me with him to the kitchen. He moved to the fridge and pulled out a blood bag. He reached in further and I saw him pull out a carton of orange juice. He moved to the cupboard and pulled out two glasses. He placed them on the table and begun by pouring my drink first. He handed it to me and I sipped it slowly.
He tore the plastic of the bag and poured it's contents into the glass. He sat down opposite me and slowly drank the thick liquid. I half emptied my glass and then watched him drink his blood. I never thought that I'd be jealous of the glass. I finished my drink just as he did and I moved to the other side of the table and sat on his lap.
He ran his tongue over his teeth before leaning up towards my face. I kissed him lightly on the lips. He responded forcefully and his hands tugged me against his body. My hands roamed up his chest trying to touch as much of him as possible.
I moved my hands to his neck and ran my thumbs along his jawbone. He moaned into my mouth and his hands clutched at my shoulders. He pulled away from my lips and lowered his head. When he looked back up his fangs had descended and a growl slipped from his chest.
I moved my wrist to his lips slowly. He kissed it then dragged his fangs along the skin and up my arm. He reached my elbow, kissed the crease before returning to the vein on my wrist. His eyes met mine silently asking permission and I nodded lolling my head against his shoulder. His fangs slowly pierced the skin, I inhaled sharply then relaxed as pleasure spread where his fangs broke my skin.
He moaned again and I melted against his body.
He pulled away after a few seconds and kissed my shoulder. I turned my head and grazed my teeth over his neck. He placed his hand on the back of my head and pressed me harder against his neck.
I felt the need in his hand. He didn't want sensual feeding he wanted me to be forceful. My teeth were pressed against the side of his neck, the flesh rubbing softly over my lips.
I bit down into the flesh, my teeth though human sunk through the skin and I drew the blood from his neck. I knew my blunt teeth biting deep enough to give me his blood had to cause him a lot of pain, but I also knew the ecstasy that would follow. He groaned and his hand tightened on the back of my head. I sucked forcefully on the wound and was rewarded with another louder groan.
I continued to drink for longer than before. He didn't want me to stop. His hand continued to press against my head and I continued to drink. His other hand clutched my waist and tugged me closer against him. I had no idea what the effect of this much blood would be. With each gulp from his neck the pressure his hand had on my head lessened.
I didn't want to hurt him but his hand still remained on the back of my head. I pulled away and his hand dropped easily. I moved back to look at his face. He looked slightly tired but had a grin on his lips. His lips I noticed had turned a dull pink, and his hands were limp at his sides. I moved off of him and to the fridge. I opened it and after a quick scan I found the bags I was looking for and grabbed two of the,. I moved back to him. His head moved slowly to look at me.
"You shouldn't have let me keep feeding. I almost took too much."
He grinned weakly then said,
"I just wanted you to experience it. Drinking so much of my blood will make you stronger than ever. It would be the same if I drank so much from you, and anyway do you ever want me to stop feeding."
I knew he was right when he said this and nodded, opening the cupboard to fill a glass for him.
I tore the plastic of the AB- blood bag and poured it's contents into the pint glass. I did the same for the O+. My wrist was just beginning to heal and I saw the blood still trickling. I held my wrist over the glass and let a light trickle of my blood drip into the glass.
The glass was almost overflowing and I moved slowly back to Louis careful not to spill any of the blood. I placed the blood on the table in front of him and sat down in the chair next to him. He looked at the blood and I saw his fangs descend. He reached for the blood drunkenly. He sipped it at first then growled and downed the glass not spilling a drop.
As soon as he pulled the glass away from his face I saw colour return to it. His lips brightened and so did the smile.
"I loved the hint of sweetness in it. I am guessing you added a little something of your own."
he asked raising his eyebrows
I winked at him then reached for his hand. He held mine then stood up. His eyes darted down to my wrist and saw the slowly healing bite marks. He moved his fingers to his neck and collected a few drops of blood present on the freshly healed skin and smeared them on my wrist. The skin tingled pleasantly as the flesh healed. Louis took my hand and we headed to the door.
I grabbed my bag off the floor and we walked into the street. The sky was still black and the thunder and lightning continued to strike. I was happy that my spell still held. I had expected to feel some sort of drain to my strength but with the blood of a 200 year old vampire coursing through me I felt topped to the brim. He tugged me forward and towards his car parked in the road. He pulled out his keys, pushed a button and with a resounding click the doors unlocked.
I sat in the passenger seat and watched as Louis slid in next to me. he turned to me as he started the engine and said,
"So what happened with your mum?"
"She lied to me, my father is still alive. And I found out that my blood line stems from the most powerful among my kind."
He nodded then said,
"I thought as much. I thought that your fathers blood line was only allowed to marry humans to keep the magic constant? I think that if your father had married a human then the magic would have passed on exactly. Neither stronger nor weaker."
"Since your father married a witch" he continued.
"I believe your mothers magic was added to your fathers and you inherited the magic from both of them, it may have even magnified it."
"Have there been others like me?"
He shook his head and I lowered mine.
"For that exact reason, that you would be too powerful to control."
I was alone and illegal. God I sounded like an immigrant, I was too powerful supposedly. I was able to fend off the 2nd oldest vampire known to exist in the world. A king. Now that could not be good for my health.
Louis drove down the street and towards the school. My mind ranged out. I felt invincible.
I had two century old vampire blood in my system and I was next to the vampire who gave it to me. He was so powerful that I could not help the feeling of safety the emanated from him. It wasn't just that I felt safe around him, I loved him more than I understood.
Marcus too would be a valuable ally. But now that Iōannēs knew I could fight him off. I wondered if the anxiety frowing inside of me because of that fact was justified.
"James calm down, you're broadcasting your thoughts. If it helps, Iōannēs will not be a problem. He wouldn't dare touch you, no-one will. Not only are you mine."
At that Louis removed one hand from the wheel and ran it down my cheek, as he continued.
"But my bloodline also contains both a monarch and the oldest vampire known to exist. Makers are incredibly protective of their blood lines. If Iōannēs tried anything with you then Dieter would make an appearance and deal with Iōannēs."
I relaxed at these thoughts and noticed from the setting of Louis' jaw that he was hesitant about talking about his bloodline as he called it.
I speculated as to what I would have to do to find this vampire of theirs.
