Scented Blood

5

"Stay awake, Cad. Stay awake."

I'm so parched. So hungry. So angry.

I want to stuck a straw in anyone's neck and just sip.

I want to eat meat. Human meat.

I lay on my cold bed, unmoving. Energy have left my system months ago. I couldn't even open my eyes. Savant, did you really left me here to rot? Have you no remorse? Have you never considered me a family?

Even thinking was exhausting I shut up my thoughts of blood.

"Now, do you still deny your nature?"

"I want blood, Callysta. I want blood. I will suck blood."

"Sshhhhh...we'll find our way out of this hole, trust me."

"That is what? The two hundred ninety nine times I heard it, am I right?"

"You're not wrong."

"Am I going to die, Callysta? "

"I would never allow that, Cad. You know that."

"But I'm dying of hunger."

"You won't. No vampire ever died of hunger."

"Well, I think I might disprove that theory."

Suddenly, a metal click resounded in my ears and I was mad. I was mad with the thought of blood, that the first thing that came out of my mind was the words 'Kill and drink'.

As a heavvy presence entered the room, all the strenght i bottled seconds before a human's entrance, quickly traveled all around my senses and I was instantly groping a neck.

"C-Cad...s-stop." A familiar vague struggling voice mumbled.

My nails digging his skin for the blood to immediately flow.

"I-It's S-Sav--vant..."

I couldn't wait . I need more. I sip his neck. His warm neck. I lick the thick red liquid dripping. I sensed his goosebumps.

Before I could dig my fangs to his veins, a soft warm lips swallowed mine I was suddenly awakened. My eyes came back from pitch black to it's normal mint green color.

Why is Savant kissing me? His eyes closed. He's so close. I don't dare move. I don't dare breathe. I almost killed him. Almost sucked all his blood out. Almost. Almost. Almost. Nearly devoured the only one who knew me.

He moved slowly, as if tasting every bit of my mouth. The seconds later, I tasted a familiar sensation. Iron. Blood. Did he bit his lips?

Then in an instant, his tongue is playing with mine. What is he doing?

But I was awakened with his blood I slowly move my tongue inside his mouth. I felt his hand pulled me. He ushered me. It was almost as if he wanted to transfer the blood coming from his wounded lips to mine. And I taste it. I swallowed it.

It's the best sensation, his blood and his mouth in mine. I think I'd endure a year of hunger if this would be my reward.

The door suddenly opened and it revealed men in white lab gown, probably scientist. Savant stopped and I blamed them. I almost wanted to kill all of them if Savant wasn't around.

"Alright, that's enough. She gained her energy proficiently. Or do you want her to suck your life out, Savant?"

Van wiped his lips right in front of me and I flinched at the sudden pain coiling inside me. It was planned? His kiss was planned? You betrayed me? Again? That wasn't because he wanted to help me?

"Y--You...T-That was commanded to you?"

"Did you really think I'd kiss a monster like you?"

"Soldiers, bring her to the restricted room." An authority in the medicine, I think, commanded, not minding the drama in front of him.

I could not react properly. I was still processing what Van said in front of me. I felt hands around me and I almost snapped. Abruptly, without a second that I regained my self, one soldier dead. Because of my anger. I received a g*n pointing at my head. I almost wanted to challenge his hand. I laughed. Callysta won. She must be so proud of her intuition that she's celebrating inside my mind. And saying 'Told you, Cad. Savant hates you to death'.

It was almost fine by me whoever pointed a g*n at me, but won't you agree the only one you trust aiming at you, with perfect angle and intention of shooting you, is so hard to swallow I almost blink to feel the same level of pain as Van's cold face stared at my soul.

I hate being fragile in front of him.

"Shoot me. " I challenged him. "C'mon, why don't you just pull the trigger, Van? Don't you feel that deep anger because it was my fault your parents were killed? Why don't you let it all out so I'd rest in hell?"

I sensed his grip tightened and I hurt. He was really gonna shoot me if the scientist haven't just warned his name.

"Savant, you've done your job. Now step out and we'll take care of this "

Before he left, he uttered another set of anxiety to my mind.

"You don't deserve to even rest in peace."

Damn tears, not now. Please.
