Beautiful (Ariana/You)

Chapter 55

I was in the bathroom flossing when I heard a loud gasp. I peeked into the bathroom and saw Ariana sitting up in a panic.

"Ariana!" I shouted as I threw the floss down.

Ariana touched her skin.

"I'm freezing. Like I'm not cold, but my skin is freezing." She said.

"Yeah, that happens." I said as I laid beside her on the bed.

"Did I sleep? I'm starving." She said.

"Yeah it's been six days, so you did better than Imani." I shrugged.

"Can we get something to eat? I want Panera." Ariana said.

"Yeah, Panera isn't gonna work today, babe. You're gonna have to go on your new diet." I said.

"But I just woke up." She whined.

"Exactly. Try to walk. See if you can take a step." I told her.

I got out of bed and stood up. Ariana got out of bed and walked two feet before collapsing in my arms.

"See? You'll be like this until you eat." I told her.

"Do I have to go..." Ariana trailed off. She leaned in close to me. "Kill someone?"

"No, I would never make you go hunt by yourself. I will go get them and bring them back to you." I smiled.

"Hunt? It's a human." She said.

"Exactly." I shrugged.

I picked Ariana up and put her back in bed.

"Can I have a deer instead?" She asked.

"You know animals can't fight back. It's kind of unfair to kill them." I said.

"Y/N, I don't have time for you to pretend to have morals. Can I have a deer instead?" Ariana said.

"You could, but you'd have to feed off of two to get the same effect as one human." I told her.

"What kind of sick game is this?" She groaned.

"I warned you." I said.

"Okay, bring me the worst person. I mean I want a terrible person that can never be rehabilitated ever. I need to feel like I'm doing the right thing." She said.

"Not a problem." I told her.

"And hurry." Ariana said.

I smiled at her.

"Yes ma'am." I responded.

"Ari, you alright?" I asked from the bedroom.

Ariana had been in the shower for forty minutes. I felt badly because I knew she hated every second of her first feeding.

"Yeah, I'm fine!" Ariana answered.

"Do you want me to get you anything?" I asked.

"No, it's okay!" She said.

I walked away from the door and laid on her bed. After a few minutes, Ariana walked out of the bathroom in her towel.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"You don't have to keep asking me that, baby." She said.

"Yes, I do. And you have to keep answering." I told her.

"I am okay. I am fine." Ariana answered.

She grabbed a pair of my boxers and a t-shirt. Ariana dropped her towel.
