Ryan took me back home and was now laying beside me in his bed, with Ricky still asleep on the other side.

"Just go to sleep. We'll talk when you wake up." He told me.

I wanted to go to sleep but I couldn't. All I could think about was what she told me. She told me that I was an antichrist. What even is that? It doesn't make any sense. I'm human and I know it.

I rolled over, hugging Ryan. I don't care that  I don't really like him that much, I wanted the comfort. I hugged his side, whimpering quietly.

"Go to sleep."

I shook my head.

"Why not?"

"Cuz I can't."

He sighed. "Sit up."

I did as I was told. He placed a hand on the back of my neck, pulling me close to him. He moved my hair away from my neck. He kissed me gently, telling me to be quiet so I didn't wake Ricky. I nodded. He bit into my neck, causing me to let out a small squeak.

As he continued, I slowly felt myself getting sleepy. I whimpered and fell against him. I nearly screamed when I felt his teeth rip from my neck.

"Shit." I heard him say.

He grabbed me, placing his hand on the spot where he bit me. He carried me somewhere, but I was too sleepy to keep my eyes open. "Where're we goin'?"

"In the bathroom. I should have laid you down so that didn't happen."

"What happen?" I mumbled.

"You fell and my fangs ripped your skin and you're bleeding a lot."

"Oh no." I whispered. "Sleep."

"Let me fix this and then you can sleep."

I gave a small nod as he sat me down on the floor. I felt him poke my neck, sighing. I watched as he bit his own arm and held it out to me.

"Drink."

I nodded, doing as he said. I wonder why he wanted me to do it. He pulled his arm away, looking at me neck.

"There. All better." He said, picking me back up.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why's it all better?" I asked.

"Because my blood has healing properties."

"Oh."

He laid me in the bed, shoving Ricky off the side. I heard him groan. He sat up looking at Ryan.

"Leave." He ordered.

Ricky pouted but didn't say anything. He just left the room.

"Go to sleep."

I closed my eyes, hiding my face in his chest. He was soft.

~~~~~~

I don't know how long I was asleep for, but when I woke up, Ryan wasn't beside me. I rolled out of bed and fixed my shirt before leaving the room. I wandered down to Ryan's office, and knocked on the door. I waited a few minutes but he never opened the door. I messed with the knob but it was locked.

"Ryan?" I called.

I got no response. I guess he isn't here. I headed down into the kitchen in search of Ryan. I wanted him to bite me again. When I got there, I saw only Ricky. I waved at him. He smiled at me.

"Where's Ryan?" I asked.

"Him and Daddy went out." He told me. "I don't know where."

"Oh." I said.

"Mister Ryan was telling Daddy that you went to see Miss Maria last night and she said that you're not human." He said, chewing on a piece of toast.

"Yeah.."

"So what are you?"

"It sounds crazy but she said an Antichrist." I mumbled. "I don't understand."

"Ooo that sounds scary." He said.

"Yeah"

"Come eat with meeee!!" He whined.

I nodded and sat next to him. He handed me a piece of his toast.

"Thanks."

"Are you upset?" He asked.

"A little." I told him.

"Why?"

"Because I'm just confused by all of this."

"It'll be okay. I promise." He said. "Daddy and Mister Ryan probably went to go talk to her more."

"Yeah, maybe."

He hugged me. "It'll be okay."
