The Forbidden Creation

Chapter Three: Sandra

I took the coffee cup from Ashton with shaking hands. I slowly put it up to my mouth and begin to drink. As soon as the blood hits my lips I down the entire cup in no time. As soon as I was done with it I felt like a monster. I couldn't believe I had just drank someone else blood. 

In order for me to be okay with it I remind myself that people donate blood all the time for other people. Sure its not normally for someone to ingest but it close enough.

One time my family and I were in a really bad car accident.  My dad who was driving at the time was the worst out of all of us. He needed to have a blood transfusion. He had to be rushed to surgery after the accident and during everything he lost a lot of blood and needed it to be replaced or else he would have died.

It's the same thing for a vampire if they don't get enough blood they die. Just because they are different, I guess we now, doesn't mean we should die. No one should die because of our differences.

"Sandra are you okay?" Ashton asked me. Bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm okay" I say slowly.

Right after I said that I got the feeling that I wanted more. It tasted so good. I didn't expect blood to taste that good. For a second I lost myself thinking about going out and getting blood straight from the source. 

That thought only lasted a second before my senses came back to me. I got scared of myself for a little bit there. Would I be capable of killing someone in order to get there blood now that I am a vampire. 

I think to myself that this is probably the worse thing that could have ever happened to me in my life. That's when I broke down and started crying my eyes out. I couldn't stop myself from the sobbing that ripped through my body. I couldn't even imagine how I must look to Ashton right now. If I were him I would run away from me screaming. Never before have I cried in front of a guy I had a crush on friend or not.

What Ashton did next surprised me.

 “Shh Sandra it’s alright. There is no need to cry, everything is alright,” Ashton said in a soothing voice as he held me in his arms. 

It was so sweet of him to stay there with me comforting me. Most guys would run for the hills as soon as they see a female crying. For a moment I thought that maybe he did feel the same way about me as I felt for him. Now that were are both vampires we could be together. Even though I didn't know he was a vampire before and I still wanted to be with him. If anything the change made my feelings for Ashton stronger than what they ever were before.

I felt so safe in his arms and he just let me cry it out. He wasn’t impatient or anything. It was so nice to just let it all out. I needed that really badly.

After I was done crying I looked up at him and he smiled down at me. I couldn’t help but smile back at him. I have been in love with him ever since I first laid eyes on him. Every time I see him my heart just melts.

 “Let’s get you a place to sleep and then we can talk about everything,” Ashton said.

We walk back up to where all the china was and into another room. This room had a table that could fit 50 or more people at it. Ashton leads the way into another room that is small like a walk in closet and has a door on the other side of the room. He opens the door to reveal a set of stairs. We walk down the stairs and it wasn’t a nice as the rest of the house but it was still nice. It’s huge down here. There is one huge room that would be where everyone hangs out. Then there are corridors to both sides and many doors. We go to the left and all the way down at the end of the hall is a really fancy door that leads to what I would assume is his room.

  I start to panic, are we going to sleep together. I have no idea of what his culture is all about. I look at him and he gives me a reassuring smile. I go and sit down on the bed but as soon as I sat down I stood back up. It was almost like someone bit me with out fast it happened. 

As soon as I sat down I saw  this man murder his wife, kids, and then take his own life after. I saw Ashton be born on this bed and his mother’s death at the same time. 

I wonder if Ashton know about what just happened or now. With what he says next I assume he has no idea. 

“You do know it’s alright to sit down,” Ashton asked

I just nodded and watched him lay down. I contemplate telling him what I saw when I first sat on the bed for less than a second and I decide against it. After a minute I laid down next to him. 

“I am sure you have many questions and I will answer all of them,” Ashton said.

"Yes I have many questions but I am not sure where to start," I said honestly.

"You know the basics so far. we drink blood and I sort of explained how our system works," Ashton started but I interrupted.

"Yeah about the system. You said that If I was created by the lowest in your society that I would be killed because my blood is to diluted or something like that. Also I would be killed if I was created my a royal because there blood it to pure," I said.

"Yes that's right," Ashton said.

"There isn't much room for an in-between there. It has me worried. Would my creator also be punished or just me?" I asked.

"It depends if it was a royal they would get a slap on the wrist. They do it all the time and never really get caught. There is a simple way to find out which group created you. For whatever reason that was disbanded many many years ago. Now they investigate," Ashton said

"What about the low levels? Do they get punished?" I asked.

"Yes the low levels we always get the worst of the punishments. I think it is because since they are allowed to take there angry out on us they do it to the fullest extreme possible. Sometimes the real one that should be getting punished is a royal and well you know you can never punish a royal so we get it." Ashton said.

"When you say we does that mean you are one of the lower levels?" I questioned.
