Solo’s Jamie

Alexei
FC: Danila Kovalev
Alt FC: Valery KovtunContent warning: Abuse, implied mention of rapeAfter a moment of silence he began to talk to her again. He was still wheezing but he didn’t care. If he didn’t tell her this now, he probably wouldn’t tell her at all.“He… touched me. Against my will. Knowingly against my will.”Another ragged breath.“Used the sire bond when I didn’t want to obey. I… couldn’t fight it. Fight him.”Jamie shivered as he was talking but he continued to push himself.“I don’t know how long it lasted but one day… the bond just snapped. I snapped and got away. It started as love but… I turned into his obsession. His toy… I don’t think he ever loved me.”Jamie swallowed.“I was just a pretty thing he wanted to have.”Jamie blinked. Some tears were rolling down his cheeks. When had he started crying?

The last one
Jamie still remembered that night like it was yesterday. He was back in victorian England. A servant helped him with putting his coat on and handed him his top hat as his father entered the hall. He would say the same thing as always.“Don’t do anything stupid tonight James. We have to protect our family name.”Jamie had given him his usual smirk.“It’s just a card night with friends father. Everything will be fine. I’ll see you tomorrow.”He touched the tip of his head as a goodbye and left the mansion, not knowing that it was the last time that he would say goodbye to his family.The carriage brought him to the Maxwell mansion. A servant opened the door for him. Jamie found his friend soon enough and gave him a friendly hug before they went to the playing area.His friend warned him about a stranger. The stranger was a great player and people lost a lot of money but there was also something off about him. Jamie ignored the warning and would end up paying the price for it.He joined the stranger’s table and played a few games with him. The man had long pale hair and beautiful dark eyes that bedazzled Jamie. The two talked during the game and even flirted a little. He discovered that the stranger’s name was Alexei.Jamie ended up dropping out later that night because he didn’t want to get in debt. He leaned against the wall as he watched Alexei play a few more rounds. He was unable to take his eyes off him. Eventually the attractive man stood up from the table and made his way towards Jamie, whose heart was racing by then. This man had a strange effect on him.Alexei asked Jamie if he wanted to get out of here. Jamie was eager and said yes without even thinking about it. Soon enough the two of them were in Alexei’s carriage. They made out but that make out session ended up Jamie becoming Alexei’s food. The vampire fed off him but decided to let him stay alive because he had grown fond of him.The young man had enjoyed the high of the vampire bite and craved more of it, just like Alexei had wanted. He convinced Jamie to come with him. Something had changed by that time. Jamie didn’t even think about his family and the servants that he would leave behind. All he wanted was to be around this gorgeous man.They left London together that night. Jamie became a darkling, a human that was owned by a vampire. His feelings would slowly disappear and he would only crave Alexei’s bite and approval until the day he was turned into a vampire.

A deal with the devil
The pain was excruciating. It was like fire was running through his veins. It became worse with every heartbeat. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t scream. He was on fire and he couldn’t scream for help.His heartbeat slowed. The pain became dull and eventually went away.Jamie awoke from his slumber. His eyelids were heavy as he tried to open them. Somehow he managed to do it even though it had been a real battle. His body wasn’t willing to listen to him yet.The first thing he noticed were the million pieces of dust that were floating in the air. How hadn’t he noticed that before? He had been so blind.He heard some shuffling on the right. Jamie tried to look to the right but he couldn’t. He could move his right pinky though. That was a good sign. The temporary paralysis was slowly wearing off.He stayed patient. He had to. His body wouldn’t obey him yet. Who was he? What had happened? He should try to remember instead of trying to make his body obey him. Forcing himself to get up wouldn’t do the trick.“Is he awake?”Asked someone with a deep voice. It was a familiar voice. He couldn’t see the source of the voice, nor could he see the person that was spoken to.“He hasn’t move yet sir.”He heard a loud sigh and someone tapped with their foot on the wooden floor.“I didn’t ask if he has moved, you fool! I asked if he’s awake. You can see that by- never mind. I’ll check on him myself.”He heard the footsteps. Someone was approaching him. The man leaned over him. He had long white hair and was wearing a top hat. His face looked like the face of an angel. The man grinned when he noticed that Jamie’s eyes were open.“Hello there Jamie. I see that you’re eyes are open. Welcome back. I was waiting for you.”Right… his name was Jamie. Jamie Hastings. He had been a noble… until he had become the slave of the vampire in front of him. Not that his status mattered anymore. That had been someone else. He only shared that name. That person had died the moment he met the man in front of him.The man smiled at him. Apparently he was happy to see him.“Your body doesn’t want to cooperate. Perhaps I can help you.”The man’s face went out of his sight. Suddenly he heard a whisper in his ear.“Get up Hastings.”Suddenly he could move. Jamie sat up with inhuman speed. He looked at himself. His hands were so pale. Had he always been this pale? Something told him that he probably used to have more colour.Jamie hopped off the table he had been laying on. His body was aching and the hunger he was feeling was excruciating. He wanted to leave this room and find something to still his hunger. He moved but the man grabbed him and pinned him against the wall.“I know what you’re up to and you can’t go. The sun is shining and you’re unable to control yourself. Patience is the key to our existence. Try to remember. Remember who I am. Remember what happened. Remember.”Jamie gave the man an annoyed look and hissed angrily at him. He wanted to rip his throat out with his teeth. He closed his eyes instead and took a deep breath. Remember Jamie, remember. He opened his eyes again and looked at the man in front of him.The card night. He had met the vampire that night. The bite in the carriage. It had been the start of the addiction. He had served this vampire, hoping to get bitten more often. He had loved the high that came with it.He had been rewarded for his loyalty. He had been turned. He had died and resurrected. This was the beginning of a new life. Of an immortal life.“You’re Alexei. My master and the person that turned me into a vampire. And I think that we’re lovers too.”Alexei smiled at him and looked pleased. Even that smile made him look beautiful.“That’s right. I’ve sired you. I wouldn’t call us lovers though. Just a kiss here and there. Sometimes a bite.”He placed his hand under Jamie’s chin and made sure that the newborn stayed focused on him.“I’ll teach you everything I know as long as you’re obedient to me.”Jamie had no idea what his life would look like in a century. The vampire’s appearance would be completely different and he wouldn’t always be around his clan. His life would belong to him again.

Curse without a conscience
TW: Gore, blood, chokingIt was many decades ago. The vampire had still been a newborn at the time. Alexei, his master, had decided to let go of the reins. Let Jamie figure out things on his own. It turns out that it had been too soon. The vampire had decided to terrorise certain parts of the world.The newborn still lacked control, even when his master had tried to help him. He wasn’t in control. The hunger was. When he entered a bar he planned on luring someone away and feed on them. Then he discovered that one human wasn’t enough. He craved more.He ended up returning and fed on more people until someone discovered him. He killed that human without hesitation. It ended up becoming a pattern until he started to kill for fun.It was one of those days. Jamie was in a small town. Everyone in that bar was dead. The vampire was feeding on one of the bodies and didn’t notice that someone came in.The man was tall. He had long pale hair, red eyes and an angelic face. He observed the mess and shoved one of the bodies aside with the help of his cane. The cane was just for show.“You’re sloppy, Hastings.”Jamie looked up and let his food drop on the floor.“Alexei…”He said as he quickly fixed his appearance. His mouth had been covered with blood and his hair had been messy. This was embarrassing for him.“Look at this mess you created. I thought I raised you better than this. A lot of animal attacks are happening in this area, don’t you think?”Alexei gestured to all the bodies in the bar. Some were on the tables, others in chairs but most of them were on the floor. The ancient vampire clicked with his tongue.“You’re coming home with me. You’re drawing too much attention. We can’t have rippers running around.”Some of the bodies didn’t have a head anymore. Jamie bit too hard. He was becoming feral and it was showing. He hissed at his master.“I’m not going with you Alexei. You let me go. You said I was ready!”He snapped. Alexei raised an eyebrow and looked annoyed at his own creation.“What was that, Hastings? It almost sounded like you disrespected me.”Alexei said before grabbing Jamie’s throat and holding him in the air. Jamie held on to the hand that was around his throat and tried to force his master to let go of him but he wasn’t strong enough.“I’ve created you. I’ve granted you immortality. This was a test and you’ve failed. You can’t control your hunger. I’ve kept an eye on you at all times. You’ll come home and you’ll serve me. You’ll only drink what I give you and you won’t get a drop more. Understood?”Jamie kicked in the air as he tried to get free. He didn’t want to obey. Alexei’s grip on him became stronger and he felt the power in the vampire’s voice as he used their sire bond.“You’ll come home with me and do exactly as I say.”Alexei let go of him. Jamie rubbed his throat. It was already starting to bruise. There was no way for Jamie to ignore his creator. Sire bonds were rare and gave the creator complete control over that vampire.He left the bar together with his master. The vampire looked moody as he walked next to the pale haired vampire. Alexei stopped him with the help of his cane and stood in front of him. He cupped Jamie’s face with his hands and looked lovingly at him.“Darling, just remember that I’m doing this for your own good. I want you to stay alive for many centuries. I care about you and deep down you know that too.”Alexei placed a kiss on Jamie’s lips and let go of him, breaking the moment between them.They continued traveling to Scotland, where Alexei’s current hide out was. Their relationship was complicated and it would stay complicated for decades.

Home wrecker
TW: Grief, goodbye letterIt had been about 20 years when Jamie finally decided to visit his home. He was standing in front of the Hastings mansion. It had changed. The warm mood had disappeared. He knew why. It had been because of him. Because his parents had lost their only son. His parents had struggled with getting children. His mother had nicknamed him miracle.One of the servants approached him. The man had worked here while he had been alive. Jamie wanted to compel him to go away but something stopped him.“Sir, can I help you? This is private property. You’re not supposed to be here. Wait… You look just like him.”The man narrowed his eyes as he looked better at the vampire and shook his head.“I’m sorry, it can’t be. You look exactly like the son of my master. He died twenty years ago. It’s such a shame. He had a bright future ahead of him.”Jamie swallowed slowly. This had been harder than he had expected. He didn’t think anyone would see him.“No, I was just passing by. It’s a beautiful mansion. I’m sorry for your master’s loss. It must’ve been terrible…”He felt so guilty. His parents had suffered a lot because of him. Because he had left with Alexei that night.“It was. His wife died shortly because of the grief she was feeling. My has master never truly recovered from it. He did marry again and his current wife is with child.”Jamie blinked a few times. That hurt and it was contradicting. He hadn’t expected that. His mother had died shortly after him and his father had replaced the both of them.“Does he love her… his current wife I mean? Please tell me more.”The vampire said, using compulsion on the man. He needed to know.“He doesn’t. He only married her to continue the line. No one can replace his wife and son. He loved them deeply.”Jamie grimaced. He had wrecked his father’s life. He was a home wrecker. What he had done was selfish and his parents had paid the price for it. Maybe he could comfort his father a little. He took something out of his pocket.“Tell your master that you found this. It’s a letter of his son. Tell him… that his son loved him a lot. Thank you for telling me about the Hastings. It means a lot to me.”The vampire said and turned his back on the mansion. It was time to return to his master before he discovered that the vampire had snuck out.He had given the servant a letter. He had written years ago. He hadn’t known at the time why he had written it but now he understood. He had felt it that the day would come that one of his parents could use it to move on with their life.Dear father and mother,If you read this then it means that I’m no longer with you anymore. It may not have been my choice but know that I’ve found my redemption. Life has always been a struggle for me. Thank you for everything. For loving me and for cherishing me. One day we will be reunited again. Just hold on until that day comes.With love,
Your sonJamie blinked. He was back in the present. That had been around a century ago. He sat down on the floor and started to cry. Vampirism came with a high price. He hadn’t realised that until it had been too late.

I hate that I want you
TW: Abuse, torture, toxic relationship, starvationJamie was in the ruins of an old castle in Scotland that Alexei had claimed for the clan a long time ago. The clan leader had given it a makeover and things looked nice again.The important clan members got their own rooms but the ones that ranked low had to share. And the human pets, also known as darklings? No one cared much about them as long as they were alive. The vampire used to be one of them.Jamie was chained to the wall. Alexei kept moving him between the chair and the wall for some reason. He was tired, weak and hungry but the clan leader didn’t allow him to feed. He had called Jamie a binge eater and a ripper. Not that the vampire paid much attention to Alexei’s speeches. His mind wandered off. He could only think about the pain and hunger that he was feeling.His master sometimes allowed the light to enter the room to burn him. Other times they threw water over him that contained verbena, which burned too. It was painful and exhausting. His body kept regenerating and Alexei could undo that process by snapping his fingers.Jamie was just hanging on his shackles that were attached to the wall when he heard the familiar sound of a cane. Alexei only used that thing for show. Jamie didn’t bother to pretend he was fine. Alexei would see straight through it anyway.The door opened and there he was. Alexei. The man still took his breath away, even after all this time. He had beautiful long hair and the face of an angel even though there was nothing angelic about him.“Hastings, I see that your pretty face has healed.”The clan leader walked over to his creation. He grabbed Jamie’s face and forced the vampire to look at him.“Someone looks tired. It makes you less handsome, you know that?”The vampire spat in the face of his master. He knew it had been a dumb thing to do and he got immediately punished for it. Alexei slapped his cheek. The sound echoed through the room.“That’s a shame. I was considering letting you go. I miss you. You’re good in bed.”Alexei said with a smirk. Jamie hissed and tried to reach for the clan leader but he couldn’t. Shackles.“So wild… It’s a good thing that I know how to tame you. You’re more powerful than the others that I’ve made. I would say that you were born to be a vampire. Don’t forget that you’re my creation. I’m your master. You’ll do as I say. Don’t forget the sire bond that we have Hastings. I’ll always be the one in charge.”Jamie spat again. This time he spat on the ground. He couldn’t insult Alexei too much. The clan leader decided when he got fed.“Fine… a part of me misses you too. The other part is just hungry. It’s been days since you’ve allowed me to feed. I’m starving. Please… give me something.”He knew that this made Alexei’s hold on him stronger but he couldn’t resist anymore. He had made a deal with the devil in front of him.“Alright. You’ll get a nice human to feed on but afterwards I want you in my bedroom. I would like to have some company. I love you Jamie.”The clan leader kissed Jamie on the lips and left the room. The vampire knew that everything about this was wrong. Alexei didn’t treat him right, yet the sire bond tugged at him. Urged him to stay close to Alexei. He needed to snap out of it. He needed to get away from all of this. Perhaps… one day he could.

Scarlet Darkness
Jamie slowly opened his eyes. His head was killing him. He touched his head and felt some dried blood. That explained why he was having a headache but not /why/ he felt like shit. That was still a mystery to him.The vampire used his elbows to sit up so he could observe the room. His eyes scanned the surroundings. He saw a bookshelf, the walls were made of dark wood. He recognised the closet too. This was his bedroom at Alexei’s- Oh damn it. Now he remembered. He had snuck out of the castle. Alexei had found it out and sent someone after him to drag his ass back. They hadn’t been careful with him. That was obvious. He might be Alexei’s favourite but it didn’t make his life necessarily easier.Jamie rang the bell in his bedroom so a servant would come upstairs. Well servant? It was a darkling. They were humans addicted to the bite of the vampire. In return they got some vampire blood. It made the humans age slower but it also made them hollow until someone decided to turn them.Jamie had been one of them. Luckily he hadn’t been one for too long. Alexei had liked him too much for that and turned him quite soon.At first Jamie had been too disgusted to use the services of a Darkling but he had gotten over it. He had to or Alexei would’ve made sure that he would and that wouldn’t have been pretty.The servant appeared in Jamie’s room. It was a woman. She appeared to be in her early twenties just like Jamie but he wasn’t sure if she was truly around that age or not. He asked her to draw him a bath. She walked to the bathroom and did as he asked.Jamie stayed a bit longer in bed until the bath was ready. He got up and headed to the bathroom. He undressed himself and got in the bath. He motioned for the servant.“Wash me. I want that blood out of my hair.”No need to be polite towards her. The woman was too far gone anyway. She wouldn’t notice nor care if he was rude or polite to her. That was the curse of her existence.She did as he asked and soon enough the water turned slightly red. When she was done Jamie motioned for her again.“Give me your wrist. I’m hungry.”She did as instructed. Jamie lazily grabbed her arm and sunk his fangs in her wrist. He made sure to drink enough of her. After this he would have to go to Alexei and it was better to be prepared. He never knew what his creator would do when he was in a bad mood.The vampire procrastinated to get out of bath but he knew that he had to face the consequences of his actions. He asked the servant to dry him and get some clothes for him before dismissing her. She could take his dirty clothes with her as she left his room. How convenient for him, sadly.The vampire was dressed in his usual black as he went to Alexei’s room. He knocked on the door and waited for permission before entering the room. The pale haired vampire was sitting in a chair, reading a book. Shakespeare most likely. Alexei loved that author a lot. Jamie’s gut told him that Alexei had actually known Shakespeare. He sure had an obsession with those books. Alexei looked up at him and a smile appeared on his master’s face. Oh dear…“Hastings! You’re awake. I was worried about you. You left without telling me. What if one of the hunters had gotten their hands on you?”Alexei looked worried at him as he put his book down and got up. Jamie knew better than believing him. This was all an act. They both knew that Jamie could easily handle a hunter on his own. The activity of the hunters had calmed down anyway.“I’m fine Alexei. You know that I’m not weak. You picked me yourself after all. You know what I’m capable of.”Jamie pointed out. Drop the damn act Alexei. The both of them knew it was fake. His creator pulled him in a hug. Oh this was bad.“No one walks away from me Hastings. Not even you. Especially not you. I hope you’re well fed. If not? We’ll find that out soon enough.”Jamie gasped as he felt sharp nails in his back and fangs pierced his skin. Cannibalism… Alexei wasn’t shy about feeding on other vampires. Damn you Alexei. He tried to push his creator off him but failed to do so. Jamie might be strong but Alexei was stronger. The vampire felt himself getting limp and the darkness kicked in. Oh sweet darkness.

Rock 'N' Roll Will Never Die
Today was the day. Jamie stood in front of a tall building. For once it terrified him. It wasn’t the building itself. It was what was supposed to happen. What he hoped to happen. If everything went well… his life would change. He wanted this change.The vampire had been scouted by a record label. Some hot shot from his favourite label had seen his performance in a bar and offered him a deal after hearing some of his own work. Today he would finally sign the deal. The deal he had worked for the moment he had started performing.Jamie swallowed and entered the building. He got directed to an office. It was a huge office with a beautiful view. A friendly looking man sat behind the desk, waiting for the vampire.“There’s the man of the hour. Jamie Hastings! Your name will be on all the billboards soon enough.”He said as he slid a contract to Jamie. The vampire had barely sat down in the chair.“Thank you for having me. Seriously. I’m so excited for this journey.”Jamie sounded humble because for once he was. He had gotten here on his own. No tricks. Just talent and practice. Hard work had earned him this contract.“And we’re excited to have you join our family. One signature and your life will change forever. Are you ready?”Jamie grabbed the pen and clicked with it. He looked at the label owner and gave him a decision grin before signing the contract.“I’m so ready. It’s time for some rock 'n' roll!”

Crimson Tears
TW: Blood, abuse, violence, traumaJamie’s body still shook from the aftermath. He had /escaped/. He was free now. His life belonged to /him/ again. The young vampire had ran all the way from Scotland to London. He had gotten away from his creator. His abuser. He was home again.Jamie sat with his back against the tree and started to cry. Crimson tears stained his cheeks. This crying was a combination of stress and happiness. Jamie could finally release all the stress that he had felt for a long time. He was happy because he could do whatever he wanted now. He was no longer forced to obey Alexei. His creator couldn’t hurt him anymore. All that pain. All those years of having to do things against his will… It had all ended.It was odd to see. A man crying crimson tears in a park while he was wearing ripped clothes. Jamie’s throat had been slashed open. The wound was almost healed but the blood was still there. He had scratches on his cheeks as well. Some skin of his arms was visible even though Jamie was wearing a jacket.Alexei had tried to kill Jamie to prevent him from leaving and he had almost succeeded. If he couldn’t have Jamie then no one could.Jamie decided to rise. He spread his arms and looked up to the moon. He took a deep breath and let out a happy scream.“I AM FREE!”He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moonlight. The ancient vampire had failed. His creation had stood up to him and won. Jamie Hastings would rise like a Phoenix and wouldn’t fear anything or anyone.

Lost It All
-
Fall Eternal
TW: Depression, abuse, su!c!dal thoughts, attempted su!c!deAlways check in on your friends, especially if you think that they’re strugglingJamie was so tired of everything. The vampire didn’t know how much longer he could take this. Being an immortal didn’t make things easier. Actually, it could make things harder.He had lost it all. His friends, his family. His human life was gone forever. There was nothing to hold on to. The person that he loved had turned out to be his abuser. Had made him go through hell without giving a damn. Had any of this been real? Had it all been an act the whole time?He had trusted Alexei. Confided in him. Told him everything. All the good things. All the bad things. His creator knew what made him vulnerable and ended up using that information against him to kick him in the ground. To break him. And it had worked. He had shattered into a million pieces and wasn’t sure if this was fixable. Jamie Hastings was the broken one.The vampire opened the door of his balcony and watched how the sun began the rise. The orange slowly turning yellow as the huge star called the sun started to climb in the Skye. He took a step forward. Then he took another step. He was still in the shadows but it would only take one more step. One more step and he would burn in the sun. Jamie Hastings would turn into ash and stop existing forever. The vampire wasn’t wearing his protection on purpose. He didn’t want to wear it.His existence didn’t matter anymore. Alexei could replace him in the blink of an eye. He probably would. The vampire took a deep breath and stepped forward, into the sun. There was immediately a hissing sound as the sun started to burn away his skin.In the distance, a door opened. There were footsteps as someone ran to the depressed vampire. A small body hugged him from behind and dragged him back inside. The door closed and they fell on the floor of Jamie’s room. The small figure figure didn’t let go of him and started to cry.“Jamie! Jamie why were you trying to do that?! Don’t you know that I care? You could’ve come to me! Talked to me about whatever it is that drove you this far!”He recognised this voice. It was Skye. The hybrid that tried to look out for him ever since they had met because she knew how dangerous loneliness could be.Jamie still felt numb but he realised something. He wasn’t that alone as he felt. There was someone that genuinely cared for him. The vampire finally hugged back the hybrid and started to cry.“I’m so broken Skye… I keep thinking that things will get better. I keep trying but I only keep breaking again and again. I just… I don’t know what to do. Some days it feels like I’ve lost it all.”He felt her fingers go through his hair. The words that were spoken softly to him were powerful words.“You’re still beautiful, even if you’re broken Jamie. Broken things can’t be rebuild the same as they were before but they can still be turned into something beautiful. Jamie Hastings, you’re beautiful and worth knowing. You’re worthy of all the good things in life. You’re worthy of being you.”And he would try to hold on to those words whenever things turned dark again.

The spaces between/feelings
Jamie waited with answering the big question until she would return from the kitchen. He chuckled softly when he heard her talk to the wine. It was kind of cute to listen to.The vampire leaned back in the chair when she returned. He actually could drink alcohol but he definitely wasn’t going to mention this detail. This deal was way better.“Alright. That sounds fair. I am thirsty so that sounds delicious but first I’ll try to answer your question. It is a tricky one so I want to apologise beforehand if nothing makes sense to you.”He said calmly while he frowned. Okay, he could explain this. Hopefully. Let’s just say he got it even though that was a complete lie.“Feelings are strange when you’re a vampire and everyone experiences it differently. When I was a newborn everything was really intense for me and it caused serious mood swings. Not the pregnancy mood swings but the I’m pissed off and now I want to rip your head off your torso with my bare hands mood swings. There’s a reason why newborns can’t be on their own. Whole towns would be killed.”He started to explain to her. Why was this relevant? She would find that out now.“At some point you control it. You just know how to resist that anger and the feeling of constant hunger. You’re fine. You’re similar to a human when it comes to feelings but there’s one issue. We’re immortal.”Seriously. Immortality came with a price that humans loved to underestimate.“Everyone you know, everyone you’ve ever cared about dies. You have no longer real attachments. Your feelings become dull. You just stop caring about anything. It’s all about you from that point. That’s why vampires are often arrogant. We don’t have to give a damn about anyone or anything except for ourselves.”Humans just became food and toys. You didn’t know that person. It didn’t matter if they had family or not. A vampire was hungry and they could provide. They were walking blood bags.“When we met I didn’t give a damn about you. When we were in that alley I still didn’t care but then you took care of me because you didn’t recognise me. It touched me. Something in me awakened. I started to feel guilty. Really guilty. A shit ton of guilt and don’t say it.”He said and raised his hand before she could cut him off.“I know I deserve to feel that way. What I did was really low of me and I’m really sorry for that. Thank you for taking care of me when I couldn’t take care of myself. I can’t repay you for that. I truly can’t. But… it made me care about you. I thought of you all the time. I was worried if you were okay or not. If someone was harassing you. I was disgusted by it. I fought those feelings. We barely knew each other yet… something keeps pulling me towards you.”He said as his baby blue eyes were focused on her. He wondered if she was the one for him. Not that he would share that thought with her. It would put pressure on the both of them and he didn’t want that.“So… about your finger. Could I drink some of your blood? All that talking really makes me thirsty. I promise I won’t take too much. Just say stop and I’ll stop.”
