I stared up at the ceiling, trying my hardest to fall asleep. I was tired, but I was too scared to sleep. I rolled over onto Ryan's side of the bed, burying my face in his pillow. It smelled like him, like ashes and copper. It was honestly a very relaxing scent. I reached behind me, pulling the blanket tighter around me. It was cold.

I heard the door open again, but I didn't move. There were footsteps that were definitely way too heavy to be Ryan's, followed by another lighter set.

"Chriiiss!"

It was rolled over, seeing Ricky and Mike. Ricky jumped on the bed, hugging me. "Hi.."

"I was worried about you." He told me, poking my cheek.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"Why'd you leave?"

"I-I don't know. I just wanted to go home."

"Oh."

He curled up on the bed next to me, resting his head on my chest.

"I sleep here, daddy?" Ricky asked.

"As long as it's okay with Ryan. You know how he gets with you." Mike told him.

He nodded. "I go ask him."

He got up and left the room. Mike stared at me, seeming to be thinking.

"I'm sorry..." I mumbled.

He sighed. "It's fine. I understand why you acted as you did."

I looked down at the bed. He placed his hand on my head, rubbing my hair a little.

"Just don't do it again please."

"I won't."

Ricky came back, laying by me. "He said yes b'cause he's not going to sleep tonight."

Mike nodded. He kissed Ricky's forehead, leaving the room.

He curled up against me, resting his head on my chest. He made a little satisfied noise and fell asleep quickly. I, however, stayed wide awake.

I sighed. I wonder if Ryan is still mad, and that's why he's not here. I kinda want him here. I reached up and touched the bite mark on my neck. I hissed a little, as it stung. I sort of liked it though. It was a nice pain. A big part of me wanted him to do it again. I was tempted to find him and ask him. But he'd probably get mad at me for leaving the room and still being awake. But it's for a good reason. I don't know. Maybe I'll wait.

I looked down at Ricky, noticing that his neck and arms were covered in bite marks. Maybe he likes it too? Am I wrong to like it? I have to be. Most people wouldn't find being fed on by a vampire as pleasurable...right?

Ryan said he could make me feel things. Maybe he could make me feel tired. It's worth a shot I guess. I carefully stood up, careful not to wake Ricky. I left the room, shutting the door softly. I wandered down the halls and stairs until I found Ryan's office room thing. I knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard.

I opened the door and stepped inside.

"Chris?" He spoke, clearly surprised that it was me

"I-I can't sleep." I mumbled.

He sighed, standing and coming over to me. He grasped my chin lightly, kissing my jaw.

"Why not?"

I shrugged. "I don't know."

He tilted my head to the side, softly running his fingers over the mark on my neck. "I'm sorry." He kissed me again. "Come."

He led me to the couch that's in the room. He pulled me into his lap, rubbing my sides.

"I-I want you to do it again." I whispered.

"Do what again?" He asked.

"Bite me." I said, my voice barely even a whisper.

"Why?"

"Because it feels nice."

He nodded, pulling me closer. He leaned into the other side of my neck, placing a few small kisses before biting down. I gasped, arching my back a little. I liked it. I liked it a lot. It felt like heaven and I don't know why. I mean, he's said he can make me feel things. Is he making me feel this way? I don't know but I like it.

He wrapped his hand around my throat, holding me still. I whimpered, letting out a long breath. He pulled away, breathing deeply. There was blood around his lips, dripping down. I stared at it for a moment before I wiped it away with my finger. I looked at it again. It was pretty, a rich, dark red. Without thinking, I put my finger in my mouth. Ryan watched me closely, clearly trying to figure me out. It tasted good. I wanted more. I swallowed hard and leaned it, pressing my lips to Ryan's. He kissed me softly before moving back. I licked my lips, enjoying the metallic taste. That's when reality set back in and I realized what I was doing.

"What's wrong with me?" I asked him in a small voice.

"You're becoming addicted to being fed on, like Ricky." He told me.

"But you said you could make me feel things. Are you making me feel like this?"

"No, I'm not." He spoke. "These feelings are all your own."

"Oh." I mumbled. "Is it wrong?"

"Not at all."

I nodded.

"I had a feeling this would happen soon. I realized that it was starting when you told me that you loved me." He told me.

But I lied about that...unless I do actually love him. I don't know what I feel.

"How did you know?"

"Because that's how it starts. After being fed on a lot, a human will begin to develop feelings for the vampire that feeds on them until it turns into full blown love. Not long after, they become completely addicted to being fed on. I was hoping to put this off for a while though. That's why I made you drink my blood earlier. It suppresses the need to be fed on. It calms your body. I could sense it coming. Bonds like this can be dangerous though. If it gets out of hand, It can get to the point where the human will do anything to get their vampire to feed from them, and they'll do anything they can to please the vampire." He explained. "That's why a lot of vampires use humans like that to lure in others and to basically do their dirty work."

I nodded. "Oh."

He looked at the window, and then at the clock on the wall. "I want to take you somewhere. Go put clothes on and then meet me back here."

I nodded, getting up from his lap. I walked back to the bedroom and found a pair of leggings and a plain t-shirt to put on, not bothering with underwear. I grabbed my boots and pulled them on, going back to Ryan as quickly as I could.

He was waiting outside the room. He took my hand when I got there and led me downstairs and out the front door. He helped my get in his car, and then moved to the other side to get in himself.

"I'm taking you to meet someone. She's one of the oldest vampires around."

"What's her name?" I asked.

"Maria."

"That's pretty." I said.

~~~~~~

We drove for a while before stopping in front of what looked like an abandoned asylum. He shut the car off and got out. I did the same, following him closely.

He walked up to the large set of doors, knocking loudly. The door opened, revealing a girl with red and black hair. "Ryan." She spoke softly. "I didn't know you were coming by."

"Is Maria here? I need to see her."

"Yes but the boy can't go. You know she doesn't allow it." She said. "He can wait with the others."

"She will for me. I need her to see him." Ryan told the girl. "Besides I don't want him exposed to those ones."

"I suppose I can ask her. No promises though." She told him. "Come in."

Ryan led me inside, shutting the door. He kissed my head, holding me in front of him.

"What did she mean when she said 'the others'?" I asked.

"Maria has blood slaves and I don't want you around that. They're not good for you to be around. Bad influences."

I nodded.

The girl came back. "She said she'll see you both."

"Thank you, Ashley." Ryan said, taking me up a few flights of stairs.

We came to another set of large doors. Ryan knocked again. They seem to have opened on their own.

He walked in, keeping me close. I heard the doors slam, and I looked back. Ryan had stopped walking. When I turned back around, I nearly screamed. There was a gorgeous blonde lady standing in front of me. I hadn't even heard her.

She looked at me closely, gripping my chin.

"What is he, Ryan?" She asked.

"A human."

"He doesn't smell like one."

"What does he smell like then?" Ryan asked.

"I don't know. I've never smelled it before." She mused. "Like a combination of maybe...I don't know. I smell something demonic. Succubus maybe." She looked at me. "What are you?"

"Human?"

"No." She said. "Who are your parents?"

"I don't know. I was adopted."

She stared for a moment before roughly gripping my chin. She stared into my eyes.

"Antichrist." She spoke, shoving me back. "It's impossible."

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"It means your birth mother laid with the goddamn devil." She snapped.

I frowned.

Ryan looked at me. "But he's bonded to me. That can only happen to humans."

"Half humans as well." She hissed. "He's powerful. His power is dormant. And it will remain dormant. Whatever you do, do not try to release them. Many will die."

I just stared at her. What does she mean? I don't get it. I can't be that. I hugged Ryan, hiding my face in his chest. This isn't fair. She's gotta be wrong. I'm not gonna kill anyone.

"It's okay." Ryan said. "This was a bad idea. I'll take you home."

I nodded.

I don't understand any of this.
