Blood

20

I just heard a roar that echoed throughout the castle. Quickly, I got the feeling that something was wrong. I ran out of the office. I came down to the salon and immediately I saw Liam. He was propped up against the wall, and in front of him stood a cursed Niall.

"You fucking idiot. When you don't get what you want, you are doing everything to destroy for us?"

Liam was afraid. Niall held him hard in the shirt and I noted that Niall had already made an black eye on Liams face.

"No, I just told the truth."

Niall snorted.

"The truth?" he growled. "She's mine and you will never get her in the same way as I have her."

I got the feeling that I didn't want to prevent anything. I thought the same thing about Liam and I enjoyed almost to look at all this. Niall had the upper hand and he was changed. He dared to say no, and he dared to stand up for himself.

"She was just a fuck!" Liam mumbled. Niall snorted and he pressed him harder upp. Liam was about to stand on his toes, and he swallowed.

"She's more." Niall muttered hoarsely. "Next time you want a quick fuck, you have others to choose from. The next time you touch her, I will kill you."

I backed out from the room, so they didn't know that I had seen it all. I smiled wide and I could actually feel some relief. Niall was perhaps not meant for me, but I knew it was him I would stay with. Niall didn't turned his back to me, and he defended me. I couldn't find a better man?

I brought with me food and I went into Anders house. No, I had no intention of exploiting him, but I had once promised to help him and I wanted to keep my promise. It was a mixture of happiness, yet fear that poured out of him. He looked up at me and I understood him.

"I need blood." I said. I put food on his table. "I have come to the thought that I'll let you be my personal blood donor. I don't want you to end your life in that room."

He hesitated.

"You mean you're going to defend my life?"

I nodded and I tried to smile.

"I give you food and I make so that you get back your strength. As a thank you let me take some of your blood, but only just enough so that you can survive." I swallowed. "I want you to trust me."

He stood up and he nodded.

"Okay, I trust you. It's still you who has my life in your hands."

I frowned.

"How do you mean?"

He smiled a little bit.

"You chose me and you brought me here. It is you who decides my fate."

I didn't like that he said it that way, but I chose to nod. He took a few steps towards me, I wasn't ready when he pulled off his shirt and bared his neck. I backed off.

"No, I don't know if..."

He smiled.

"You need blood and I'm seeing at you that you are hungry."

I swallowed. Yes, I was hungry, I was always hungry. I nodded a little bit. He stood right in front of me and he seemed almost certain that he wanted this.

"And then you leave me alone for a while?"

I nodded.

"And I will give you food when you need food."

He smiled.

"Then do what you must do."

I went up to him. I brought my lips against his neck. I felt some uncertainty, since this was the first time as a slave voluntarily gave me blood. I closed my eyes and I stroked his neck with my lips. I heard that Anders groaned quietly and he made himself ready. 

I don't know what happened. I started to kiss his skin and I wanted something more from him. He seemed to hesitate, but he remained standing there.

"I don't know..." I said hoarse. I took my arms around his waist and I let my tongue glide over his vein. I don't know why, but I started to unbutton his pants and I pulled them down. He was breathing fast and I notice at him that he was a little scared. I looked into his eyes.

"I can't bite you without anything happening."

He swallowed.

"Should I say no and play that I don't want to?"

I swallowed. I wanted to be a part of his human side. I looked down at his body and this was actually the first time I saw something as was alive. Sure, Niall was alive, but his body was pale and I knew we were dead. Anders groaned a little and he got up a smile.

"The bed?"

I looked up at him.

"Do you want that?"

He nodded silently.

"For food and for your sake."

I shouldn't play with my food, but still I wanted to play. I felt more alive than ever, and when I stabbed him, it was as if I exploded in emotion. I sat on him and I felt how I took over his mind. He screamed, but not because of the pain that I achieving. I felt his whole body shook and he came straight into me.

I was ashamed afterward. Yes, I took advantage of him and I used my power. Anders held me tight and he breathed heavily. He was tired because I had taken some of his blood and he tried to hide it.

"I can't do this to you." I whispered hoarsely against his cheek. "This is wrong."

He held me and he shook his head,.

"Why is it wrong?"

I swallowed.

"Would you tell the world that we are here if I let you go free?"

He became quiet. I lifted my head and I noticed an uncertainty in him. He swallowed and he had no good answer. I tried to read his thoughts, but I wasn't there yet in my development.

"Yes!" he whispered hoarsely. "I would tell the world."

I frowned.

"Then you're stuck here?"

He smiled a little bit.

"I don't mind if you keep your promise." he whispered happily. "I like you and I like what I see in you, but I don't like that you are one of them."

I sat up and I looked down at him.

"I can make you to become one of us?"

He frowned. He caressed my thighs and he shook his head.

"No, I'm rather in that shit as I am in now."

I was surprised.

"But you will be free?"

He laughed.

"You call that freedom, to need blood? You're not free Sally, you're just stuck in the shit like a drug addict."

It was the first time I realized the truth. Yes, I was a drug addict. I swallowed and I frowned.

"I know."

He put his head askew and he looked at me closely.

"Let us do as we planned. You can come here whenever you want and take advantage of me in every way, just you give me food. I want to survive and I know that you are my lifeline."
