Blood.
That's all he can taste, that's all he can see, that's all he can feel.
Blood.
Scarlet, sticky, metallic blood.
And then he wakes up in a cold sweat with a splitting headache and Jack still snoring on the bathroom floor.
"Fuck," Alex mutters. He raises a hand to his forehead as if that would do anything to ease the pain.
He forces himself out of the makeshift bed and stumbles toward the bathroom door. He nearly trips fifteen times. The poor guy can barely walk, and yet he's still trying to find his phone. He needs to call Brendon. Brendon knows what's happening.
"You should be resting," says an all too familiar voice as soon as Alex has left the bathroom.
"H-how did you get in my house?" Alex stutters. He hasn't been able to comprehend what's been happening until now. He hasn't even been able to remember any of the three days he was gone until he woke up on the bathroom floor to find Jack begging him to not be dead.
"Jack let me in," Brendon explains. "To help you."
Alex turns to face him, but he turns too fast. He goes light headed for a second and nearly falls but manages to catch his balance again. "What's happening to me?"
"So you haven't noticed the fangs yet?" Brendon asks, taking a step closer. "Or the lack of reflection. "Or the unquenchable thirst?"
Alex takes a step back when Brendon gets too close. "What did you do to me?"
Brendon tilts his head, his glinting red in the darkness of the hallway. "I saved you." Brendon leans in, as if to kiss him, but Alex pushes him away, losing his balance in the process and falling into Brendon's chest.
Brendon laughs under his breath, an evil, condescending laugh. "You smell amazing," he growls. "Did you know a half turned vampire has the sweetest blood? A shame it all goes bad before anyone gets a chance to have any. Guess I should consider myself lucky."
Alex tries to call out, but Brendon moves faster than light to pin him against a wall with a hand over Alex's mouth.
No. No, this can't be happening, Alex thinks. This is impossible.
But the sharp pain in his neck feels too real to be a lie. So does the fuzzy feeling in his head and the dark spots dancing in his vision.
Brendon finally steps back with a scarlet smile. "I have to get going now, Love." He places a kiss on a half-conscious Alex's forehead. "See you when the mortals are gone."
Brendon vanishes into thin air as a light switches on in the bathroom.
Alex is just barely awake when he sees Jack runs out and scream out for someone to help.
Another light switches on in the living room before Alex's vision finally goes dark.
