Love Bites

Chapter XII

I then tried to run back before Mitchell could pick up my scent, I bolted through the door almost running into the wall, then I ran upstairs with Annie staring after me and I jumped on the bed pulling the duvet over my head again. A few minutes later and Mitchell came in, and I could smell Kieran's blood on him.

"Where were you?" I asked playing dumb.

"Out" He answered.

"Did you feed?" I inquired.

"You could say that, why you wanna share?" He asked waltzing over to me and kissing me, the blood on his lips touching mine and I licked the blood from my lips, then he kissed my neck and pushed his body against mine.

"I always did prefer it when you drank blood" I said to him.

"You mean you didn't like me before?" he asked pausing.

"I did" I said stroking a curl from his face and tucking it behind his ear, so I pushed his lips to my neck where he dug his fangs into my neck, it stung a little but I didn't mind. Annie had drifted by the door but Mitchell wasn't phased it was almost as if though he had no humanity left, Mitchell began to grip my back a little too hard and digging his nails in.  "Mitchell stop you're hurting me" I wheezed, but he didn't listen he only pushed harder and harder, I was pretty sure something had to give, and it did as my ribs were beginning to get crushed causing me to scream out loud breaking Mitchells trance, thank god I didn't need my lungs anymore but it still caused me pain, he dropped my body onto the bed.

"Annalisa" He called out, I just laid on the bed crying in pain. "I am so sorry" He said bursting into tears.

"Mitchell... its okay... I will heal" I reassured him.

"What is going on?" George asked wandering into our room with Nina, he must have seen the blood on the sheets and me writhing in pain.

"What happened?" Nina asked.

"Mitchell what did you do?" George panicked.

"I don't know, we were kissing but then I saw nothing but red and then Annalisa screaming out!" He exclaimed, Mitchell sat on the bed pulling me gently onto his torso as my bones and wounds healed, I didn't pull away as I understood why he hurt me, it wasn't on purpose but he had let himself lose control, he forgot I was a vampire and thought I was a mortal, I had soon fallen asleep, but I soon wake up a few hours later and Mitchell is fidgeting as if something is on his mind, so I rest my hand on his and I enter into his dreams. He's dreaming about Herrick and me? But Herrick's dead what is he worrying about.

But there in front of me stood Mitchell, smothered in blood his fangs exposed he was snarling, and his eyes ebony black, he didn't recognise me, Herrick pushed me into him and he sunk his fangs into my neck but I was mortal not a vampire, I let go of his hand and leapt up my back hitting the wall as I was a little off balance, that face I would never forget. 'Does he wish I was mortal so he could kill me? Or does he miss being King of the vampires and being in charge?' I thought, so I let Mitchell sleep before walking down the stairs collapsing on the couch, I had pulled my legs up into my chest and rested my head on my knees.

"What's wrong?" Annie asked appearing opposite me on the smaller sofa.

"Nothing" I answered. "Tell Mitchell I've gone out" I said before I left, I got up grabbed my coat and then walked out, I was walking down the street when I realised I had no where to go and I had no idea what was going on with Mitchell, I found a bench in the park and I sat there with my head in my hands as it began to rain but it didn't bother me, a familiar scent wafted my way and I knew it was Daisy.

"Where's Mitchell?" She quizzed me sitting next to me.

"At home" I answered.

"What's wrong with you?" She quizzed me.

"Nothing" I replied racing up.

"Where are you going to go now Kieran's dead?" She quizzed me.

"How do you know about that?" I asked grabbing her by  her throat and then ramming her back against a tree.

"I followed you last night" She said. "I cant believe Mitchell didn't even see you last night you were so close to him" She added.

"I could say the same about you"  I growled, letting go and dropping her to the floor.

I then walked off leaving her to stare after me, thing is I could kill for a drink so I searched the streets looking for someone to attack, once I found my target I followed them to a quiet spot where I sank my fangs into their neck, their heart thumping against their chest cavity and began to slow as I drank their life's blood and as I drank I was comforting their panic state, once all the blood was drained I just carelessly dropped their corpse to the ground, just as I was about to walk around something hit me from behind causing me to fall and black out.
