TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Saved By The Vampire
Chapter 1Clara's POV "Why do I have to go with you to this party again" I asked for the 5th time. "Oh darling, I'm doing this for you!" Lydia groaned."How?!" I exclaimed. Here I was, almost freezing to death, walking to a strange party in the middle of the night, when I had a mountain of books to read and a ton of assignments to do! Sorry but I could not for the life of me see how any of this was for my benefit. It was supposed to be a short stroll to the venue, but it was so cold outside that it felt like I've been walking since eternity. Don't get me wrong, I love my roommate….. sometimes, and right now tonight wasn't part of those times. "You can't fall in love with your books Clara" she replied. "Well that's exactly what I have been doing so far and it has been quite alright," I informed her."Quit alright shouldn't be enough! You have to actually go out and meet someone, a living breathing being!" She groaned."That's why I have you darling" I pointed out."Not me dummy,
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Did My Heart Just Beat
Chapter 2 Nicholas's POV The moment she stepped into the house I could not help but notice her. I was drawn to her with a force I have never experienced in my 200 years of existence, even though I did not look a day older than 23, thanks to being a vampire. The party had been fun, not as fun as expected, somehow I was not at the top of my game tonight. I've flirted with a few girls whom thanks to my vampire aura and might I add my irresistible looks, were practically falling all over me. The strange thing though was that I didn't even care like I used to. Something in me felt numb, making me almost regretting that I allowed Hunter, my only human friend, to throw this party.However from the moment I saw the gorgeous brunette in her pretty shirt and her crazy looking friend, I thanked my stars. I stood upstairs as usual and from this point I had a perfect view of my mansion and everything that was going on. Plus I could hear every single thing happening but at nights like this I
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Am I really with a vampire?!
Chapter 3Clara's POV"How dare he!" I groaned, "do I look like a joke to him?!" I screamed at Lydia. She seemed a little bit shocked, I was not the screaming type, but she was way too drunk to understand a word I said. She was in a world of her own entirely. I had to drag her out of the party with me. Firstly because I could not just leave her on her own, secondly because the dude she was with looked way too suspicious to be trusted with my roommate. So here we were, walking back to our apartment. Thankfully we were staying outside the university campus. I could not bear all these if I might have to face being scolded by any hostel warden. My mind swayed back and forth between getting my completely drunk roommate home safely and the dude who saved me, Nicholas Young. He had such a unique name and a memorable one at that, but it was his personality that was unforgettable. When it was just the two of us in that balcony I felt like I was home, but he was so remarkably handsome th
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Dad??!
Chapter 4Clara.I'm sure I would have fainted if that was my thing, but no, I was as strong headed as they come. However there are some things that should not be discovered or discussed while standing and I felt like my legs would not support me for long if I just stood there."I need to sit down," I told him. "Oh my! Of course, follow me," he said.Then he led me to the sitting room and it looked so beautiful. One would not imagine that just a few hours ago it was full to the brim with hormone driven party mongers and alcohol in every corner.One look around and I could tell that everything here screamed expensive. From the softest sofa I have ever sat on to the beautiful curtains and vintage work of art here and there. I knew a thing or two about old stuff, even though Lydia continuously teased me about it every chance she had. Nicholas called this his home, could this all really belong to him? Now I understand why he could wear socks to the party. It was probably just another
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Who would like a Vampire anyway?
Chapter 5Nicholas"I came to see my son but I can see that you have company," he said, referring to Clara. Trust my dad to make a famous entrance like this. The one and only Henry Young always making life a living hell for me. I mean he already stole my soul and he is bent on stealing any chance of happiness I could have, still I called him dad.Henry was not my biological father, truth be told none of my family was actually related to me by blood. We all came together as one just because we had one thing in common and that is the fact that we are all vampires. He was the man that made me a vampire and I pretty much learnt everything I know about this world from him. Oh how I loathe him so much for what he turned me into, this blood sucking beast with no mercy, no real emotion, no compassion. Even though he did what he did out of some twisted compassion to save my life, still, I hated him."Why didn't you tell me you were coming? You know the rules!," I reminded him. "Yes I know

TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Hold unto me
Chapter 7Clara. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I came here to apologize," he replied. "For what exactly?" I asked like I didn't know what he was going to say. "For everything, for treating you that way, for acting the way I did, I'm really sorry. I can't take it all back, but I want to make it up to you…. Please," he answered. Here he was surprising me with his every action. Never did I think that someone like him could apologize so easily. It must have taken a lot for him to say those words, certainly he is not someone to throw the word "I'm sorry" around so easily. "Well you're forgiven, but I don't know how you can make up for what you did," I told him. His mood immediately lit up like he had been given his first gift ever. He actually smiled this time around and his perfect dentition reminded me that I might actually need to pay a visit to the dentist as soon as possible. "Don't worry about that babe, I've got you covered," he said, giving me a seductive wicked win
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE it's a date!!
Chapter 8Nicholas It was great seeing her admire the gorgeous restaurant. From the moment she stepped out of the limo, she has been completely blown away. The place was beautiful, I wouldn't lie, but it was strange because my friend Alberto, a fellow vampire, decided to open it. Sure he was just the money behind the project, he left the cooking and actual running of the restaurant to a very known chef. Still I found it funny that he chose to open a restaurant of all businesses. Maybe he felt nostalgia for a time in the past when he could actually enjoy real human food. As vampires we could eat normal food alright but we derived no satisfaction from it. Still I never shy away from eating it just because I could. It was a necessary skill to get used to, especially when we try to blend with humans and make them think that we were just like them, even though we really weren't. However, knowing Alberto, I'm sure he had a very private area for just vampires, I just hope he wasn't doi

Chapter 21NicholasAs we walked to see every one, hand in hand, there was a certain kind of peace that I felt. This was my woman and I was proud to call her mine. I was proud to show her to the world and the first people who could get that privilege were my family. When I brought her in yesterday every single one of them were on edge. I got to find out that nobody knew of Matthew's intentions to do something so drastic, so terrible. Sure, Henry knew when he went out but he didn't know that he was going out with the intentions of murdering Clara. But I was afraid that even if he had known he wouldn't have done much to stop him. Matthew was a very powerful vampire, much older than Henry for sure, but he wasn't the head of the family, even though he wanted to. Henry could be ruthless sometimes but he had the qualities of a leader and he was the one that turned most of us. The family was already gathered in the sitting room, waiting for us. "Oh dear, you gave me a heart attack, I'm
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Your wish is my command baby
Chapter 20ClaraI woke up in a bed that was not mine. I felt good, like I have never felt before. There was a bandage on my head and over where I remember Matthew stabbed me, but I felt no pain. I felt perfectly fine. I looked around and discovered that I was in Nicholas's room. How did I get here? Just then the door opened and Nicholas stepped in. He looked exhausted but as handsome as always. I had so many questions to ask him but I planned on asking them one at a time. "Hello baby, how are you feeling?" He asked, sitting down beside me. "Perfectly alright," I told him. "It must be the vampire blood working, you almost died and I had to do what I vowed never to do," he said. "And what's that?" I asked. "Give you my blood, with my blood now in your system you would become a vampire if you ever died, and I don't want you to be like me," he said. I knew he was being serious. I have never imagined myself as a vampire but I didn't want to do that now. I didn't know if I would b
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Drink baby, drink!!!
Chapter 19Clara"So where are you off to now?" I asked Lydia. "I was invited to this party on campus and it promises to be lit. You can come too, maybe that would make you feel better," she suggested. "There's no way I'm going to another party with you, it is the party you dragged me into that's putting me in this emotional trauma!" I groaned. "Well I didn't make you fall hopelessly in love, you can thank Nicholas for that," she said. "Ugh! I hate you!" I exclaimed. "You wish darling, you wish!" She said, then she seemed to have a change of heart and came closer to me, "was it that bad?" She asked. If only she knew half of it! I still haven't told her that I was falling in love with a vampire but still it was getting harder to tell her about my feelings without being completely honest with her."Yes it was, it was terrible!" I groaned. "Why? What did his family have against you?" She asked. "Well nothing really, apart from the fact that I'm human," I said. "What do you mean
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Hunter Cage
Chapter 18Nicholas It wasn't long before I found myself at the door of Hunter Cage, the only human friend who could bear to be with me despite my numerous strange idiosyncrasies. Luckily for me he wasn't having a party tonight, so he must be alone. He was someone that you called a real party planner. It was either he was throwing the most expensive party or he was attending one. He wasn't your typical college student though. He knew where he was going and still found time to hit his books hard and pass with outstanding results. He was from a very wealthy home but he didn't always show it, unless when it was time to party. Many people would say he was a spoiled rich kid but that was because they didn't know him but loved to simply put him in the status quo. He was smart, kind and a real gentleman. He was actually the only friend that I could cope with. We met when I took a stroll to the campus and stumbled upon him and a few of his friends arguing about history. Being 200 years o
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE No one wants to hear a story Matthew
Chapter 17Nicholas"Matthew, there's no polite way to ask this so I'm just going to be honest with you, how do you want to die?" I asked. "Well in the arms of a pretty woman wouldn't be bad, maybe I'll get your little play thing to attend to me too," he said with a stupid smirk. "Be careful what you wish for Matthew," I told him and I wasn't joking. He was pushing me to the wall and there was practically nowhere else to go to. There was no telling what I could do from here. If he had a death wish then he was playing his cards right for a quick one. I heard beheading a vampire would do the trick, I have never seen it being done but I know it was how Luka's family was wiped out by the other vampire family they went to war with."Matthew, why were you so rash to the girl?" Aunt Cherry asked. I didn't really care about his reasons. They didn't matter a bit to me. All I cared about were his actions and his actions drove Clara away and that was the only truth here. "I have a story t
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE Please take care of yourself
Chapter 16It seemed like we were perfect for each other only in our little bubble, but once we stepped out of it, we were faced with overwhelming obstacles. I walked out and Steven was already by the car. It was amazing how he always knew that it was time to get away. Maybe he used that super hearing vampire thing I read about a lot, yeah, that must be it. "Take me home Steven," I told him. "Okay miss Clara," he said as he got into the car. I didn't look back. I didn't want to change my mind and decide to stand my ground with his family. I didn't want to put him in a situation where he had to choose between me and his family.It looked like he had a strained relationship with some of his family members, if not all. It wouldn't be nice if I made things worse instead of making things better. I could not bear to see how much I hurt him, it was better this way. I wasn't angry with him or his family… okay maybe I am getting to dislike that Uncle Matthew guy, but apart from that it w
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE It's Okay Nicholas
Chapter 15ClaraI got tired of waiting for him so I let my heart lead me to go find him. When he said family meeting I knew it was going to be something serious from the look on his face, but I never envisioned it to be something like this. Everyone was staring at me like I was some strange being, even Kevin gave me a weird look and I felt like saying "man you practically invited me here, why are you acting like you don't even know me," but I didn't, there were so many scary faces around that the only person that I could look at for more than 5 seconds was Nicholas. "Okay everyone this is Clara Shawn, Clara, this is my family, you've already met Kevin and father, this is Elizabeth my sister, Luka my best friend, that is aunt Cherry, Uncle Alberto you already know, and there is Uncle Matthew, whom you can totally ignore," he said."Nice to meet you all," I told them gently. Somehow he knew I was nervous but he didn't want me to be, so he squeezed my hand tightly and it gave me a ce
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE The woman I love
NicholasI was a fool to starve myself, to trick myself into believing that I really wanted to die. At the end of the day, it was the very same person that my heart was bleeding for, that came to my rescue. Clara Shawn saved my life and for that I was eternally indebted to her. She looked so beautiful as she slept. What was she thinking anyway? Offering herself like that to me, I could have killed her. Gosh! I could have killed her, I don't know how I stopped myself from draining all her blood but I did. I was this close to taking too much but something in me reminded me that this was the woman I was in love with. Gosh I was going to give Kevin an earful! Why did he bring her to me?! What was he thinking?! I was trying to hide away from her, I was too ashamed to face her after the other night. I blamed myself for destroying what was supposed to be a perfect date. I blamed myself for not being able to share my problems with her. I blamed myself for being a vampire. I blamed myself
TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE I love you Clara
Chapter 13Clara"Well because of Nicholas," He answered. That just plunged me into the depths of more confusion. "I don't understand you Steven, please what is going on?" I asked. "I'm not in the place to explain that to you, miss, when we get to the mansion I'm sure Kevin can explain it better," he said. Kevin again! Never in a million worlds did I think that Kevin would want to explain anything to me. Heck I didn't even think that he would have a reason to speak to me. Now here I was driving to go meet him, well Steven was actually the one doing the driving but still I was in the car and it was heading to the mansion where I was supposed to go talk to him so it's kind of the same thing. The drive to the mansion was super weird and surprisingly longer than I imagined. It was this same distance that Lydia and I walked past the other night, but somehow the journey seemed farther now in this vehicle. Sure I know that it was because of the awkward environment, still me knowing di
