Lilly awoke as the light of the sun fell lightly on her pale yet healthy skin, her sapphire eyes opening slowly, gleaming with anticipation for the new day. She had almost totally forgot the nightmare which had haunted her the night before. She instantly and happily jumped out of her bed and changed her clothes from her night clothes to a black T-Shirt and faded blue jeans. She then walked quickly out of her room, closing the door almost silently behind her, and then proceeded to move swiftly from her room to Lucias's, being slightly sneaky when she got closer to his door as she wished to surprise him.
The surprise almost didn't work when Lilly opened Lucias's door to see him sat on the edge of his bed with his head down towards the ground. She was expecting a loud greeting but instead she heard silence, for though Lucias was not lying down he was still sleeping while wearing his top hat and carrying his cane. His eyes where shut and his breathing was very light, almost completely silent. Lilly smiled slightly and made her way around Lucias to then sit on his bed next to him, her face also pointing towards the floor but she was looking at him fro out of the corner of her eye. While she saw him sleeping she smiled cutely, she found it hard to comprehend that this man, who was now sleeping like a tired child during a long car trip, was the same man who had killed her friend and drank her own blood. Though this did not shock her, she enjoyed viewing the huge comparison between Lucias when he was feeding and when he was happily snoozing.
Lucias slowly opened his eyes as he began to awaken. He smiled lightly, happy that the first thing he saw when he woke up was Lilly. He moved to get up from the end of the long and old bed only to crash onto his knees as he was struck with a huge stabbing pain. His face suddenly became twisted with pain as he doubled over clutching his stomach.
Lilly looked at Lucias, first in concern, but then her odd wiry smile split across her cheeks as she stood up and slowly moved over to Lucias, kneeling down to be at his level.
“You need to feed again don't you?” Her smile widened as she looked at him, his teeth grated as he tried to block out the pain, his skin turning a slightly greyish colour as if he was deadly ill, but the most obvious sign he needed to feed, his pupils glowed with a kind of orangey red. Lucias looked to the side of him at Lilly, his face slightly angry now as he prepared to shout at her.
“You're acting like you enjoy seeing me like this!” He bellowed loudly, only to feel another sharp sting of pain shoot through his body, causing him to clutch his stomach tighter and grit his teeth harder. Lilly simply put her finger to his mouth and spoke, her voice slow and manipulative.
“I do not enjoy seeing you in pain Lucias.” She put her bare wrist in front of his mouth as an invitation for him to drink her blood. “But I do enjoy this.” Her smile grew as she waited for Lucias to bite into her wrist and drink her blood, an event which she looked forward to now. Unlike when she still believed Lucias was human and he had to leave every night, a time when she was deeply upset every time he left, now she was always excited about Lucias's nightly feeds, as she did deeply enjoy being his “donor” She pushed her wrist towards Lucias's top lip, in an attempt to entice him into biting her.
Lucias at first tried to resist Lilly's offer, knowing that feeding from her wrist could do some damage to her, but the pains from his hunger where terrible so he gave in to them and his vampritic instincts. His eyes began to glow brighter as he opened his mouth, his pearly white fangs shimmering slightly in the light. He stopped, he closed his mouth and pulled his head away from Lilly's wrist.
“No, I won't do it, I won't hurt you.” He looked away from her. He was then suddenly hit with another strong wave of pain, as if a punishment for being so close to feeding and refusing. Lilly simply smiled and got up, withdrawing her wrist. She walked over a an old wooden chest of drawers and wrapped her hand around the brass handle of the top left drawer, her smile widening as she pulled it open.
“Don't worry Lucias, I know how to make you want to feed so desperately you won't care if you hurt me.” Her voice was slightly patronising and sarcastic as she said those words. Her face was split more by a smile that was filled with some deranged glee, as she pulled out a knife from the drawer and placing it swiftly in to her left hand. Her thin and wiry smile grew to almost seem like a line dividing her face as she walked slowly towards Lucias, her right hand closing the drawer as her left hand turned the knife constantly. Lilly knelt down in front of Lucias once again, putting her right wrist up and moving the knife towards it with her left. She slit her wrist in one quick and elegant movement, wincing for a second in pain, but her face instantly returned to a smile as she offered her bleeding wrist to Lucias once more, knowing that he could not resist it now that he could see and smell her blood from the wound.
Lucias was about to object to what Lilly was doing, but he was stopped, instead he just looked at the crimson drops of blood falling slowly from the cut on Lilly's wrist. He was suddenly hit with constant waves of intense pain as he stared at her blood, dropping from her wrist to the carpet. He opened his mouth slowly and stuck out his long and knife like tongue, moving it slowly towards the wound.
Lilly smiled as she saw Lucias move closer to the blood. She believed herself safe in the fact that Lucias could not resist an offering of blood if he could see it and smell it. Her smile grew wider still as he began to lick the blood from the surface of the wound
After ten minutes Lucias had taken enough blood but he continued to suck blood from the cut until, another three minutes later, Lilly pulled her hand away from Lucias, a smile wide on her face.
“There Lucias, feeling better?” She was smiling normally now, though there was a slight change in her voice, a slight secretive quality. Lucias licked up the last of the blood that was left on his lips, smiling slightly, his eyes still burning red. He spoke quickly, his smile not kindly but that of a mad man, his eyes looking at Lilly hungrily.
“I am not finished, I want more.” His eyes began to grow brighter as he got up and walked towards Lilly, his smile parting, showing his two long and gleaming fangs to the world. Lilly smiled slightly maliciously back at Lucias, closing her eyes slightly as she began to talk. “Now Lucias, you can't have all my blood, or you'll be alone.”
