Into Darkness a Vampires tale

Chapter Eight

I stayed sitting by her a long while before we both fell asleep. When I woke it was almost dawn. I didnt want to wake her but I really had to go.

"Miss im sorry to wake you but I must be on my way now." She woke softly.

"Please stay a little longer. My house is just over the hill there." I couldn't refuse her after hearing of her loss. So we headed over the hill to her house.

I was very intrigued by her. She was quite pretty and I found myself smitten with her. But if she what I truly was she would have certainly rejected me.

I stayed with her a good portion of the morning until I began to feel tired again. So she showed me to one of the rooms and let me sleep there. I woke up that night feeling terrible. I had not fed the night before and I was paying for it now. I got up and tried to walk to the door. I then became dizzy and disoriented. Then the pain began. I stood leaning against the wall clutching my chest. Grinting my teeth so not to make any noise.

Then a sharp pain shot through my chest that brought me to my knees. I fell to the floor in terrible pain and was emoblized instantly. I tried crawling to the door but I could bearly move. I was in serious trouble and I wished with all my heart that Helios was there.

I then thought I heard footsteps coming down the hall. Then the door swung open.

"Erin! My God! I told you about this!" It was Helios. He knelt down at my side.

"H...H..." I couldn't get out the words. The pain became unbearable. He picked me up.

"Oh my! Is he alright?!"

"He'll be fine ma'am he just need some TLC." He replied walking to the door.

"I...Im...s...sorry H..."

"Its alright Erin. We're going to get you home and feeling better. Much abliged miss. We'll be on our way now."

When we made it home he put me in my coffin but did not leave the room. Biting his wrist he put it to my lips and I began to drink.

"Better?" He said with concern in his voice.

"Yes. Thank you."

"You rest a while and regain your strength. I shall come check on you later." He went to leave but I grabbed his hand.

"I really am sorry." I said whole heartedly.

"Its alright. We'll talk about this later when you're feeling better." He then left the room.

I laid there a while thinking of the young woman. Then the thought occurred to me. What would Helios do to her if she found out our secret? I suttered to think about it. Then after the thought had left me I drafted off to sleep.
