Kissing & Bleeding (chp.3)

Chapter 3
Blood

I woke up in a high breath, still having a difficulty to breathe as the blood from my wound was still flowing out from my body in a rapid state.

“She’s losing too much blood, master!” An old guy who dressed some sort like a butler reported to Kristain who was at the balcony of his mansion, facing and eyeing outside, at the captivating scenery of the night with that one crescent moon still placed nicely in the sky and it was surrounded with twinkling stars. I looked around and found I was lying on a bed which had my blood all over the bed sheet, in an extravagant yet elegant vintage looking grand master bedroom. “Why am I here? I should be in the hospital! Not here!” I thought and wondered. And so I tried to get up with the pain still throbbing upon my deep wound, took my hand just to cover my bloody cut, stood a little and ended up losing my balance, alas letting a hard fall on the floor causing a bumpy noise. That little noise caught Kristain and his butler’s attention. They immediately came to me, especially Kristain, in order to give me a hand since I was so weak to get up. Kristain scooped me up slowly and gently, he placed me right back on the fully covered blood stain bed. And he had my blood stains all over his white shirt too.

“Can you please get me to the hospital, now Kristain?” I said in a weak tone followed by a cough after cough.

“No, no, no..you’re gonna be all alright, here. Trust me.” Kristain stroked a few strands of my hair and put it behind my ears while flashing his gorgeous side smile. “Just breathe in and out slowly.”

I was breathing in and out in a slow yet calming mode until a sudden complication of breathing started to arise. My face was getting paler as ever and so as my whole body. And I started to feel every part of my body became weak. I couldn’t get the air inside my lungs and felt the tremendously hurtful yet burning pain in my chest, I felt hot, heat surrounded me, my body temperature seemed to have ignited high and I kept on coughing and coughing non-stop until it came to a point where I bleed cough.

“Master, this is getting serious. You’re gonna lose her any time, now. Please do something.” A lady dressed in a high class maid outfit came with a bowl of warm water and a towel. She came and sat right next to me, wiping the sweat off my face.

Kristain just remained silence and just stared at me with his dazzling greenish blue eyes as if something is bothering his thought on saving me at that moment. The blood kept on flowing out even though the maid had already tied up a white cloth just to act as a block to it. I was getting weaker and weaker in every second, practically lost my strength vastly!

“You still desire to wait for her to get ascend by herself, my master? For what I’m telling you, there isn’t much time left. “ Said the loyal butler to his master.

“We just need a few minutes.” Kristain said while he stood up and faced himself away from me, at the same time unbuttoning his bloody covered white shirt.

“She can’t wait anymore, master.” This time the maid said her opinion.

Kristain took off his shirt and threw it on the floor, showing off his hot body and finally said what’s been running in his train of thoughts, “You know, the pain that she’s going to suffer if I turned her back into one is more excruciating than the pain that she’s going to suffer if she naturally ascended. I don’t dare to give her that crucial pain. It’s just so hurtful. I don’t think she is strong enough to fight it. She might die!”

“But master, she’s already in a really crucial pain now, and yet you still want to leave her suffering, on her way to her death as a human? She’s dying! Either way, she still has to bear that pain. Look, she’s even too weak being a human. At least if you turned her one, she could still have the strength to fight for it and not just immediately die.” The maid was being serious.

“Yes, she’s right. Please master, you don’t have to wait. We’re losing her fast. Give her back her life before she’s actually gone forever. “ The butler agreed and begged.

Kristain didn’t say anything, he just went straight to get me out from the bed. He brought me at the balcony and kneeling down, still had me on his hands. He then, softly whispered to my ear, “I’m sorry Ella. This is the only way that I can save you and bring the real you back.”

“I’m Anna.” I replied to him as he was mistaken of calling me, Ella.

“Shh..” He shushed me up by putting his foe finger on my luscious lips as a sign to keep me quiet and his fingers ran down my neck, stroking gently on a spot above my collar bone.

Under the moonlight is where it happened, the moon witnessed that a young yet gorgeous vampire called Kristain had his fangs extracted on the neck of his one and only old lover, Ella who was being reborn after a thousand years. The only reason was just to bring her back to her vampire life when there was no chance for her to ascend by herself since her human lifeline was about to be cut. After sucking out a little bit of her blood, Kristain bleed himself with his fangs, sucked his blood, kept it in his mouth and gave her one bloody kiss just that his blood could be transferred to Ella. Who would have thought that one bite on the neck and one bloody kiss with the sense of love would have the power to change from a fantasy to reality.
