Be Careful When You Bite Me

Chapter 3

Suddenly, something...shifted. The movement was too sudden for my enfeebled brain to comprehend. I

felt Isabelle's arms let go of my weakened body. Unable to support me, my legs gave out from under

me and I felt myself plummet down, my view now being nothing but the floors. I tried to look up to

register the scene but my eyesight was blurring worse by the second. In the background I saw

Damon's arms extending over an angry Isabelle and Seth, holding them back. They were both staring

at me with hatred and hunger, wide-eyed and snarling through their teeth.

Hot tears streamed down my face and I heard myself sob as opposed to feeling it. I watched but barely

as the three wrestled against each other but Damon persisted until the two stopped fighting back.

Slowly, their eyes turned into their normal color and their fangs drew back.

"What the hell did you stop me for!" Isabelle yelled, angrily brushing Damon off of her.

"You were going to kill her!" he yelled back in response.

"So what! She's just a human!" This time it was Seth.

"She's a gift, for Father," I saw Damon's eyes meet with Seths as he gritted," She was meant to remain

untouched!"

"She was the King's villager!" Isabelle began to freak out,"Why didn't you warn me, you idiots!"

"It's not like you gave us much time," said Seth.

"Why the hell would she be here and not in the quarter!" She continued, now glaring at me.

"It doesn't matter," said Damon.

"Don't tell him I drank from her," her voice was frim and strict," Please!"

Damon nodded," just go."

"I mean it-" she began.

"Go."

She glared at the two brothers for another second and left.

When it was just Seth and Damon, Seth opened his mouth as if to break the silence but Damon beat

him to it.

"I know, you couldn't hold back."

"I-I tried but when Isabelle bit her, I couldn't hold back."

"It's alright, you lost control."

"It's tough, I don't know how you do it," responded an embarrassed-looking Seth," I'm not sure I'll ever

be able to control myself."

Damon patted his brother's shoulders," Go check on Isabelle."

Seth nodded and left the room.

Damon turned around and rested his soft and sorry gaze upon mine. I wanted so badly to close my

eyes and let myself pass out but something inside of me wouldn't let me. I felt the bite on my neck both

burn and sizzle at the same time. My vision came back into focus when Damon's shoes halted right

before my face. I felt myself being lifted and once again being placed back on the bed, this time a lot

more gently as if I was fragile and as if he was guilty.

"Th-thank you," I managed to utter out when he placed a pillow underneath my face.

"I wasn't helping you, I-," he replied moments later," I was helping them."

"Still, I think you saved my life." I swallowed and felt my dry throat ache.

When he remained silent, I asked, "What...are you people?"

Unexpectedly, he chuckled. He didn't answer my question. Instead, he picked up the first aid kid from

the ground and started cleaning the fresh wound on my neck.

Bite. Not wound. Bite.

His cold fingers sent shivers down my spine and I couldn't help but notice how close he was. I waited to

feel his breathing against my skin but I never did.

I examined his beautiful features from the outline of his strong and muscular jaw to the bed of dark

eyelashes that almost made me envious. He was breathtaking. He was the man of my dreams, yet I'm

not sure my dreams could have predicted someone would be so perfect. He brought his gaze up to

meet mines and whispered," Vampire."

I blinked and blinked again, my eyes never leaving him. I nodded. I had no other words.

"We are vampires," he continued," We drink human blood."

I debated nodding again but this time I replied with," Okay."

"Why aren't you freaking out?" he smirked almost humorlessly.

"I'm passed freaking out."

I want to go home.

The stinging on my neck increased and a sudden shock slithered through my body. I yelled out loud

and reached up to clench my skin. Damon's fingers moved mine and trailed over it, the sudden

movement making me forget about the pain just a little bit. When he backed away, I was surprised to

find myself disappointed.

"Isabelle has left her venom in your skin, therefore, I must suck it out," he stated, his eyes now stern.

I began to panic and my eyes widened," Wait what!"

"I have to get it all out now, or else the shifting will begin-"

"Shifting?"

"I have to suck the venom out now or else you'll start to shift and wake up like one of us." He started to

walk back towards me and I felt my body flinch back against the bed, away from his touch.

"What happens if you lose control," My voice was calmer than I felt," What if-"

He sat down and placed his hand on my arm as if reassuring me but the action only made me more Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

alert," I won't."

My eyes began to burn and I felt a fresh stream of tears start to pour out.

"You're Monsters," I breathed out.

"Well in my world little human," He hissed and brought his face closer to mines," you're the monster."

I forced myself to swallow the fear that arose in the back of my throat.

"Just get it out of me," I spat out," Get it out of me now!"

My heart sank down to my knees at the sight of his face darkening and his fangs extending. I was too

shocked to say anything. Instead, I waited for this strange man who kidnapped me to bite my neck and

suck the venom out. Just a few hours ago, I was lost in my car, searching for a highway to head back

south to my hometown.

How did I get here?

Without another word, Damon brought his face closer to mine and placed his mouth on my neck. If I

didn't know what would come next, I would explain the action as gentle, sweet, and almost dispelling.

Seconds passed before I finally began to feel the pain. I couldn't help but let out a small whimper. The

pain was almost electrifying. It felt as if the venom he was sucking out was on fire itself inside of me. I

wrapped my fingers around his forearm and squeezed to keep from pulling away from his mouth. I felt

the pain decreasing as I felt him move away from me. He didn't give me a chance to process what had

just happened. Instead, his fangs disappeared and he distanced himself a few meters from me.

" Your leg, arm, and neck should be okay, you can go now, I'll take you to your car."

I only nodded. The rush of relief I was expecting to feel never came. For some reason, I felt emptiness

as he reached down and picked me up again. I felt as if I was leaving something behind.

Vampires, I thought, they're really, actually vampires.

I remembered the garlic that hung from the windows in the small creepy town.I glanced sideways at

him, suddenly feeling nervous. We stepped out of the bedroom and made our way down the medieval-

looking hallway. A sudden figure rounded the corner and stopped into a halt when he saw us.I gasped

when I saw his face.

Although he wasn't as handsome as Damon, he was still breathtaking with light almost grey hair and

piercing blue eyes.

He was dressed in a black leather jacket and a tight white shirt underneath and blue-washed jeans that

hugged his muscular legs.

"Well well well, what do we have here," he hissed, looking hungry.

Damon pulled me closer to his chest," What are you doing here?"

"Visiting poor father who has no idea what you've done," he said.

"Who told you?" Damon asked.

"Seth," he smiled and sent a wink my way.

"Why the hell would he do that?" Damon exclaimed, talking to himself now.

"And naturally, father now knows as well."

"You didn't," snapped Damon.

Suddenly, I felt small and scared like a tiny mouth stuck in a trap. Both men stared at one another as if

looking for a fight that I would be caught in the middle of.

"I can't be the only disappointment, father wants to see you, now," he walked past us, but not before

giving me a smirk that caused all the hairs on my arm to stand.

"Who was that?" I asked Damon, my voice coming out shaky.

"That is my older brother," said Damon and strutted down the hall.

"W-what's gonna happen now." But he never replied.

After what seemed like forever, Damon finally stopped at the entrance of something. He placed my feet

down on the floor.

"Can you walk?"

I took a few shaky steps,"Y-yes, where are we going."

He ignored me and pushed the metal doors open.
