Warning

Chapter 7
I stood up with difficulty but fell on the ground, unable to walk. David helped me up and sat me on the bed.
“David, don’t….” I said, raising a hand for protection.
“Don’t be stupid,” he answered, sitting next to me.
“It was a terrible mistake to reveal your location, Melyna was the devil,” I explained, trying to clear my conscience.
“I forgive you,” he replied as to joke.
“It was blood in the bottle!” I said more seriously. I was still holding my stomach but the pain faded slowly.
“Yes,” he answered.
“What’s happening to me, David?”
“You’re transforming!”
“Transforming? What do you mean?”
“Your body is dieing, you are becoming one of us.”
“Are you serious? Are you saying that I’m becoming…. a vampire?”
“Not completely yet. You’ll be a full vampire once you’d have made your first kill.” He was serious.
“And if I don’t want to be a vampire?”
“Then, you will have to kill me! It was my blood in the bottle! You now belong to me, like the boys belong to me too.”
“She was mine!” I remembered the man’s words.
“Are you going to kill me as you have been ordered?” I asked.
He smiled.
“No, I won’t.” He answered.
“Won’t you get yourself into troubles if you don’t?”
“Don’t worry about that,” he replied.
I tried to stand up again but he stopped me. I looked at my wounded hand with surprise. It was healed, completely.
“Look,” I told David.
“This is a part of your transformation too, don’t worry.”
“I have to go back home,” I said.
“Your home is here now. You won’t be safe outside. You’d better stay with us here and do as I say, if you want to stay alive.”
I sighed. I knew he was right. He leaned in and kissed the top of my head.
“You’re weak, you’d better get some more rest.”
I lifted my head to him and looked in his icy blue eyes. I smiled at him. He leaned in, once more, but this time, his lips met with mine and he kissed me deeply. It was delicious. I wrapped my hand around his neck as his hand reached my hair, making him kiss me deeper. He caressed my hair, then my cheek. His hand slid to my neck. He moved it down, tracing its way to my breasts. I felt his desire grow inside, he wanted me. He laid down on the bed, making me lay down with him. Slowly, he started to lift my T-shirt, passing his hand under the thin fabric.
“Don’t be afraid, Amy, I won’t hurt you, I promise,” he said.
“I trust you,” I whispered.
The pain I felt before was now completely gone. That night, he made love to me softly. It was perfect. I could barely remember the last time I had a sexual relation but this one was completely different. David was strong but careful with me in the same time. I wasn’t used to see him like that. I never thought this would happen, I never thought vampires could have human desires.
After a while, I fell asleep on his chest. I was exhausted. I had no force anymore.
When I woke up, I noticed I was alone in the bed. I looked around and saw David sitting on his armchair. The boys weren’t there and the dead bodies of the girls neither. The place had been cleaned up, if I could name this clean. He smiled at me. He was eating some Chinese noodles. I walked to him, wearing nothing more than a sheet around my naked body and sat on the couch, bringing my legs under me like a child. I noticed I was now completely at ease in the cave. I was feeling at home.
“Are you ok?” He asked.
“Yes, I am,” I replied with a smile. “What are we going to do?”
“I’ll teach you how to live now, and I’ll teach you how to feed. This is important.” He replied.
“Can I just feed with noodles? I mean, with human food only?” I questioned.
“No, I’m afraid you need blood, you are a vampire now. You will never grow old, you will never die, but you must feed,” he gave me the box of noodles and I ate some. They weren’t as delicious as I remembered. It was like normal food had no taste anymore. It was like I was eating paper sheets. I looked at him and he understood. He had read my thoughts, once more. David came to me and knelt down. He put his hand on my face in a smooth caress and I closed my eyes.
“You are one of us. And, most of all, you belong to the night. Nothing bad will ever happen to you if you stay with me and do as I say. I’ll protect you,” he said quietly.
I did not answer. I just stared at him. I knew he was right. I would be unable to survive without his help. And I knew that I wouldn’t be free, I wouldn’t recover my human nature, unless I kill him. And I knew I wouldn’t do it.
“This night, I will initiate you. But don’t be scared, I won’t hurt you,” he continued.
“I trust you, David,” I replied with a smile, hiding my fear behind a pleasant mask.
“What was going to happen to me now?” I thought.
