Chapter 5
"There has to be a door here somewhere! " She called out, to the silence.
"There isn't, you can't escape it, you can't escape your fate. " His breath was warm on her neck, but she shivered.
"Please, just let me go! I promise I won't tell anyone! "She cried.
"Weak, weak blood! " The older girl yelled. "Come Lestrants, she will not feed you well. "
"No, don't leave me here! " She cried out.
The two turned to her, and Lestrants lent out a hand to her. She thought about it then took it. He smiled at her, and then revealed her throat to him.
"In order for you to live. " He whispered his lips brushed her throat. "You must become mine. "
"Kill her! " The older girl yelled at him.
He turned to Artiris and smiled at her, if she only knew what he was going to do. He waved her away, and watched as Callista whimpered, yes she was scared, or was she acting too?
"Leave, I like to be alone when I feed. " He told her, she didn't move.
"Leave, but I want to watch you. " Artiris smiled at him.
"LEAVE! " His voice boomed.
"Fine have it your way. " She turned and left, he made sure she had.
"So your Lestrants? " She asked, whimpering as he kissed her throat.
"Yes. " He whispered, but his teeth didn't go into her flesh, he instead turned her to face him.
His lips brushed hers and he felt a wave of emotion go through his body. He deepened the kiss by forcing her mouth open with his own. She was resisting, of course, she had a boyfriend, she wouldn't leave him, but Lestrants would make her leave him, make her want him. She pushed away and he stood smiling at her, she shuddered.
"Curse you, I will never be yours! " She hissed.
"You have no choice, Callista, no choice. " He once again bore her throat to him; he laid sweet kisses on her neck.
She winced when he felt his fangs go in, he used his hypnotic ability to soothe her, make her think that it was Allan that was with her. When he was satisfied he took a knife and cut his wrist, enough to make it bleed. He didn't have to force her to drink it, she drank willingly, and, he smiled, greedily.
She started to fall to the floor and he caught her. He placed her in his bed and left her there; when she awoke she would be his. For now she could dream about Allan, and he may have to pretend for a while to be Allan, but she was his, and that was all that mattered. He left her to go hunt and talk to Artiris.
He found her, standing at the top of the stairs. She wasn't smiling at him, in fact she was frowning.
"You made her one of us! Mother and Father will not be happy when they find a girl in your bed! "
"Shut up, Artiris! "
"Little brother, you were to kill her, she saw you! "
"So I didn't kill her, when she wakes up she won't remember, she'll be too hungry to remember. " He stated.
"I can't believe you, you love a mortal who has no feeling for you, except hate. " Artiris gave a small laugh.
"So what, I don't care, she will learn to love me. Now I'm going hunting, don't let mom or dad down in my room. "
"Sure whatever little bro. "
He took off into the night sky; his milky white hair was tousled in the wind, when he landed. He must remember to get back before his mother and father, if they saw Callista, they would ask questions. Of course his family did not like to kill their prey, but it was the law of the clan to kill ones that saw what they were. They had to be careful where ever they lived, of course their children still went to school, and they could fit in, but sometimes a problem would arise and they would have to move. That is why Callista had to be dealt with, Lestrants had to kill her. Lestrants wasn't his real name it was Eric, but in order not to get him confused with his father, they called him his middle name. It made him famous in the vampire world, he liked it that way.
Yet, when he'd first seen Callista he knew that she was going to be his, one way or another. He also knew that she had a boyfriend but he had ways of getting rid of him too. None had worked, so when he was about to give up on her, she had seen him feeding; it was a perfect way to get her into his house. He had told his sister and she of course had agreed to help him, she had brought her to his house to make her, and it had worked.
"Why is there a girl in your bed, young man? " His father asked when he got home, he wasn't too happy.
"I tried to stop him. " Artiris smiled at her brother, he knew she hadn't really.
"She's my girl. She was tired so I told her to sleep in my bed. "Lestrants replied, his coal eyes sparked dangerously at his sister.
"Well, she must be new, I've never seen her before. " His father replied.
"I have, dear, her name's Callista." His mother was covering his tracks, and he was grateful. " She moved here a few months ago and Eric became her friend, she hasn't been a vampire that long. "
"Well I'll take your word on that dear, but you. " he pointed at his son "Should be more careful, what if she was human? "
"Father, don't worry about it. I'm going to go check on her. "He quickly ran downstairs to his room.
Callista was still sleeping; her body was perfect, showing every curve, her hair was starting to turn to his milky white, meaning that she was his. He knew her eyes would turn to the coal color of his, but was surprised when she opened them and they weren't.
"Humans will change colors. That's the way mine are. "His mother whispered behind him. " I can change them to any color I want. She's very pretty, Eric. I'll leave you two alone, if you need anything holler. "
"I will mom. Callista, how do you feel? "
"Where am I? " She asked.
"My room. " He was prepared to hypnotize her if need be.
"Why? " She asked then fell into the pillows.
"Your are mine now. " He whispered. "Forever. "
"Oh, that's good, Allan, I've wanted to be yours for a while. " She looked down then giggled, like she had drunk too much. "But I'm still dressed. "
Eric shook his head; Callista didn't come as that kind of girl. He knew that sometimes the change would have side effects, but sexual ones?
"Urn, Callista, I'm not Allan. " He sat on the corner of his bed. "I'm Eric. "
"Eric! " She gasped, horrified. Suddenly coming to realize what was going on.
Her hand went to her throat, she felt the two small marks, she knew what had happened, and she began to cry. Eric went to put his arms around her, she pushed him away. He took her face in his hand and looked into her eyes.
"Calm down. " His voice was command.
"You! You are an a**! "She yelled and pounded his chest.
"Shush, my parents. " He tried to calm her, his hypnotism wasn't working, and he grabbed her and kissed her.
She suddenly melted in his grasp, and was much more receptive to his gentle yet passionate kisses. His body pressed hers, and she felt his hands go up her shirt, and unsnap her bra, she couldn't help but smile as it fell to the floor. Yet, when she pulled away, she slapped him
"I may be yours, but that gives you no right to undress me, your parents, remember? " She asked, but her eyes twinkled mischievously at him.
"So, how do you feel? " He asked, again. Trying not to look at her bra on the floor.
"Hungry. " She whispered, and then kissed his throat.
He didn't move, maybe he liked being her prey, for a change. Her kisses were sweet and they moved, once again, to his lips. Her fingers went down to his shirt and flicked open a few buttons, her hands felt so warm on his skin, and he moaned. She smiled at him and kissed him again. Then she took her hands away, she smiled at him again, this time her smile was full of the mischievousness he had seen in her eyes, earlier.
"That's just a taste of what you can get, after we're married. I'll have to tell my parents. I'm really worried about Allan though. Oh, and don't worry about my parents knowing I'm a vampire. "She smiled at him, and then left his room, picking up her bra and going into the bathroom.
He shook his head, how could she be so scared one minute, then sexily dangerous the next? He waited by the stairs, waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. When she did, he smiled; the two small marks were gone. She brushed her skin against his on her way up the stairs, and when they got to the top, he was thankful the door was shut; she kissed him, long and sweet. She giggled at him and then took his hand, as she opened the door; she was a little surprised to see his father there.
"Hello, Mr. Darison. " She smiled at him. "I'm sorry I got tired, your son was a gentleman and let me sleep. "
"We don't sleep. " He pointed out.
"Weak from hunger. " She explained. "I was wondering if Eric could come hunting with me? "
"Of course he may. " His mother smiled at him, she may have winked too.
"All right. "
She squeezed his hand, and the two left. She gestured to her car; he was surprised that it was here.
" Artiris isn't so bad, she at least drove my car here, with me in it. I was tied up in the back seat. " She laughed, as she got in the driver's seat. " The keys are still in the ignition, she's lucky no one stole my car, I'd have a fit."
He didn't say anything, and she pulled out of his drive way, he didn't ask where they were going, he didn't need to, they were going to her house. She took his hand before they got out of the car, she turned to him, and brushed a lock of white hair out of her eyes, her bangs were white but her hair was still brown. Which he supposed wasn't going to change totally, like her eyes.
She reached over and pulled him close to her, to kiss him, maybe for reassurance. It was another one of those long sweet kisses that he didn't want to her to stop, and for a long time she didn't. When she finally broke away, she smiled at him, and licked her lips.
“My parents think that Allan and I have broken up. *
“Are you? " Eric asked.
“Yes, we decided that we needed to see other people. "
“Then what was with that first kiss? " He asked, grinning.
“I was having a hard time adjusting to not being with him, but you know, I think it was more that I was scared. I mean you said that I was going to be yours. You are so possessive. " She grinned and kissed him again.
" I know some that are worse then I am. "
They walked into her house, her parents were sitting at the table, her mother looked up when they entered.
" So this is him? " Her father asked. " I'm Callista's father. "
" Uh, how do you know? " She asked, startled.
" Karissa is a good friend of mine, we were blood sister's in high school, that was before she met Eric. "
" But then you are. " Callista voice broke.
" No were not. " Her mother replied.
" Why not? " Eric asked, he placed his arm around Callista's shoulders.
" After Callista was born her father turned me. We thought it best not to let her be half. "
" Uh? " Callista asked.
" You aren't my child, Callista. Your mother was married before, by force, but he died a few days later, after your mother got pregnant with you. "
" Okay, so this is Eric, and you already know the rest. Urn can I call Allan? "
" Sure, but I don't think you should tell him about the whole vampire thing. " Her mother smiled at her.
" Yes ma'am. " Callista went to the phone.
Eric felt slightly uncomfortable around Callista's father, even though he was a vampire, but she too had been uncomfortable around his father.
" So Eric, how old are you? "
" I'm in the same grade as your daughter, sophomore. I have an older sister who. "
" WHAT?!?!?!? " Came a shout from the kitchen. " YOU WHAT!!! I can't believe you, I mean sure I know we were seeing other people, but you did what! Whatever, Allan, I just called to say that I'm engaged and that I don't give a squat what you and Jasmine do! "
The phone rang, has she slammed it down. When she entered the dining room, her eyes held red flames. Eric, Karen, and Starion didn't say anything, and she fell into her mother's arms, weeping. Eric couldn't think of anything to say, and looked at his feet.
" He slept with Jasmine. " She whimpered.
" Oh, honey, that shouldn't matter. " Karen whispered and stroked her daughter's hair. " Just don't you go and do it now, all right? "
" Eric is too much of a gentleman. " Callista told her. " Why can't I just forget the fool, I knew that was all he wanted from me, anyways. "
" What? " Her father looked up from his paper.
" He tried to convince me to, twice. The first time he had forgotten to bring, and the second time I pushed him out of the car, the next day I dumped him. Eric, I'm sorry for lying to you.
" Hey, no biggie. You still hungry? "
" Yeah, parched, if I don't get anything soon. "
" Fridge, top shelf. " Her mother told her.
She pulled it out and poured herself a glass. " Anybody else? ^
" No. "
She drank the glass dry and licked her lips, the blood had been sweet, she wondered where her mother had gotten it.
" It's deer's blood. " Her mother had guessed what her daughter was thinking. " I never could drink a humans, your father is the same way. "
" I hope that even though you know the truth, you'll still call me dad. "
" Of course, you'll always be dad, and I'll always be your little girl. "
They all laughed, then the phone rang, Karen went to answer it.
" Eric your father wants you to come home, right away. " She told him when she entered the dinning room.
" I guess I have to go then. I'll see you later. "
" Hey, let me at least walk you out. " She smiled at him.
After they had shut the door, he turned to her and gave her one last long sexy kiss. She let out a small moan when he parted from her.
" Don't let what Allan did, get to you, all right? "
" I won't. He's a creep any ways, besides I have you."
" After were married. " He finished and she laughed.
“Yeah sure uh that’s what I meant, of course.”
Eric wasn't prepared for what was going to happen to him when he got home. His father was pacing and his mother was sitting at the table.
"Your cousin is here."
" Orison? " Eric asked, that was the only cousin that he knew of.
" Yes, and it seems that this Callista person doesn't exist. Do you want to explain to me what happened, downstairs? " His voice held hints of disgust.
" It turns out that Callista is the very human who caught you feeding, cousin. "
" Stay out of this Orison! " Eric snapped.
" Is it true? " His father asked.
" Yes, its true, I changed her. "
" Her parents?"
" Vampires, both of them, her father was a human. You should know her stepfather, Starion Kastlia. "
" I work with him, yes. "
" Son, it is not that we are worried about Callista, it's a person she is going to school with. "
" Oh? " Eric asked raising his eyebrow.
" Kiori Gernia , she's a vampire hunter, an aura witch. Also according to the files, Callista's best friend. What ever made you choose that girl for your mate?" Orison smiled, he was enjoying this.
Orison had dark brown hair, but his hair was streaked with white and he had white bangs, his father was a vampire, his mother a human, who had died when he was two. His eyes where dark but he could make them change to any color he wanted. He was Eric's age, both born on the same day. He was one of those bad boys that the girls fond over. He had yet to find one who satisfied his "taste".
" She has a certain quality. Why do you care? " Eric snapped.
" Just curious, that's all. Besides we have to take care of each other don't we? " He leaned against the wall, smiling.
Your disgusting. Eric thought making sure that Orison wasn't inside his head. He didn't say anything and his father told him to go to bed, though he had no need to sleep(no vampire does), he went. When he fell on his bed, he could still smell Callista's sweet scent that she wore. He smiled remembering what had happened, he shook his head and closed his eyes, only to open them seconds later to the sound of Orison's voice.
" Guess we have to go to school together. It really is a shame that you go to a human school, well I guess there is more prey there. "
" Watch it, cousin, there is also the aura witch, who hasn't bothered me. "
" Oh, she hasn't? "
" No, not like it matters, I tend to stay away anyways. Besides I heard that she as an exotic way for killing her prey, just a rumor though. So why are you going to school with me? " He closed his eyes, trying to block out his cousin.
" Your father, you know he is the leader. Why do you think I warned him about Kiori. "
" Ah, you don't really care, you just wanted to get me in trouble. That's all right, I understand. G'dnight, Orison. "
" G'dnight, cousin. "
