Bloodthirsty Beast

Erin has lost her way to the room after drinking water since it's too dark to see. She is having it hard to find the switches and it's suddenly raining outside. On top of that, the frequent flashes of lightning and thundering are scaring her. It was too easy to go to the kitchen, but why is it hard to go back to the room?

She is wandering around the hall, walking far away from the windows. It's scary! "I should have brought aunt Serena with me if I knew it was going to rain suddenly.", says Erin. Her voice is breaking the silence of the hall, working perfectly with the rebellious nature. Well...she is doing this to kick out her inner fear.

Erin is getting angry being unable to find the right way and feeling the urge to shout out to someone! But she restrains herself since she has no intention to wake up others for such an unnecessary matter. It will be so embarrassing. So she keeps walking using her own intuition. Though she doesn't know where it will lead her in the end.

She has found some switches, but they are of other rooms. Suddenly she comes across a big door and it's half-opened. It's so dark inside! She tries to find a switch outside the door. But there's none.

"Urghh! Who is it?", a strange voice calls out. It's a hoarse voice mixed with pain. Somehow it resembles Edward's. Erin can guess it easily since she had heard it before when she kicked him. Erin is feeling that Edward might need some help. But she suddenly gives it a second thought. Cause she doesn't know his condition.

Erin recalls Serena's words about Edward's being a bloodthirsty vampire like his father. And if she recalls correctly then he hasn't drunk even a drop of blood since he went to rescue her. Even she doesn't think that he would have had some in the morning because he was in the office. This is the time to work sensibly, not emotionally.

Erin is about to leave and search for Kevin or Julius or even Serena for help. But before she passes the room, someone pulls her inside and holds her mouth with a hand. There are claws on those hands and it's hurting her mouth a lot. But she can't even scream.

Erin is unable to see the person's face but she can guess that it's none other than Edward. His breathing is heavy but cold. And his hand is even colder. His one hand is on Erin's mouth while the other one is wrapped around Erin's waist to hold her close to him.

"Nice timing! I was dying for blood and yours is the best for such a situation.", Edward's sniffing Erin's neck and rubbing his nose against it. Erin didn't know her skin is so sensitive, it's ticklish when Edward rubs his nose!

Edward starts kissing her neck and Erin's feeling the sensitivity more. She is struggling against Edward. But somehow she can feel that he is even stronger than the previous night. No matter how she tries, she can't get out of his embrace.

Edward gets angry and suddenly throws Erin on the bed near the door. He jumps on her and holds her hands tightly and locks her legs with his. Erin is trying to fight but she is losing her energy. Edward's very strong. She didn't realise it before but when he jumped on her, she figured that Edward has no clothes on the top. Though he is cold, he is sweating a lot.

Erin can't understand this vampire's body temperature at all. But she knows that Edward's behaving like this because he is not in his right mind due to his thirst. She needs to calm him down first. Erin is thinking of a way to handle this situation, unlike last time.

But before she could say anything, Edward bites Erin's neck and starts sucking blood. It's so painful, but Erin's trying her best not to shout. Edward's sucking her blood as if he's drinking water after coming home from a long run. Will there be any blood left in Erin's body if he keeps drinking in this manner?

Erin's biting her lips to endure the pain. Her lips are bleeding because of it.

Edward smells blood other than Erin's neck and notices that there's blood flowing from her lips. He gently kisses her lips. It's so gentle that Erin gives up on struggling. He was rough the other night and it felt tempting.

But this one is like a caring one. As if Edward's telling Erin not to bite her precious lips cause it will hurt a lot.  He is licking the blood from her lips. His lips are cold but so soft. Even though he is being gentle with her lips, he isn't letting go of her hands. He will leave bruises if he keeps holding them.

"Don't waste even a single drop of blood! It's precious!", says Edward in an angry tone. And again starts sucking blood from Erin's neck. For a moment there, Erin thought that Edward cares for her even if it's just a little bit. But now! "He will never change!", Erin shouts in her mind.

It's hurting a lot. And Erin is having trouble speaking. Even so, she says to Edward, "Please...stop! It's...I..It's...paining!"

"Shut up! You don't have the right to speak.", Edward replies. He says so but he stops sucking and looks at Erin with mischievous eyes, " From now on, you're my prisoner. My one and only blood bank. I am addicted to your blood. I don't think I can let go of it anymore. So bear it! My SWEET RARE PRISONER."

Erin's heart skips a bit in fear. "One and only? His prisoner? What's he talking about?", is what going in her head right now. She wants to shout at him and give him a tight slap. This guy is crazy. Playing with others however he wants! This is ridiculous.

Erin's struggling to get out from Edward's clutch. She shouts at him, "Let go of...". But before she could finish her line Edward holds her mouth and says, "Shhh!" He stops his sucking business and looks around seriously. Erin can't understand what's going on.

"Don't make a sound and be a good girl.", he gets off from the bed and goes near the window. But he's trying to keep some distance. He is looking so intensely that it's making Erin nervous. Suddenly someone knocks the door.

"Edward? Is Erin inside with you?", a man asks. It's Julius who is knocking at the door. There's a worry in his voice.

Edward opens the door and Julius comes inside. Behind him, there's Serena and Kevin. After Serena enters the room, she rushes to Erin and hides her with the soft shawl that she was wearing.

Serena whispers to her, "Don't come out of this shawl until we tell you to. I am staying in this room. So no need to be scared."

"Have you noticed them?", asks Edward to Julius.

"Yes! I haven't sensed them in decades. I was surprised when I got the scent of newborn vampires! They were so smelly.", replies Julius.

"There are other vampires other than those newborns. The pure and impure vampires. I don't think only one person is after her. There are others. I can vaguely read their minds. So I'm confused.", Serena cuts their conversation.

Everyone's quiet now. Nobody knows how many there are outside.

"Let them come near a little bit. Then I can guess their number in total.", suggests Serena when others are wondering what to do.

"Okay then I will go and wipe them out and uncle Julius and Kevin, you both stay here with aunt and Erin.", Edward says to Julius and Kevin. He is wearing a black shirt which is kept in the wardrobe of the room. The shirt is a little short. But it will work since his motive is keeping himself hidden.

"Let me go with you. You can't tackle them alone.", Julius protests Edward's decision.

"No, uncle. I don't want to disrespect you but you are old now. You can't fight like before. And also we need someone here who can protect them. If we both go after them, they might get the chance to come inside. So please stay here.", Edward politely asks Julius.

"There's about thirty of them and they are approaching really fast. You should go, Edward. Otherwise, they will come inside before we know.", Serena cuts them again and there's fear in her voice.

Edward gets out of the room. Everyone in the room is feeling scared of the situation. Nobody knows what will happen. They can only pray for Edward's safety now. The one who's worried most is Erin. She doesn't know who is after her. And now everyone close to her is in danger only because of her. Serena, Julius, Kevin, Erin's mother, everyone! Even Edward's fighting for her life, risking his own.

"Don't think too much, sweetheart! We are all here for you. Nothing will happen. Just stay hidden under the shawl. There are some vampires who can see through in a close distance. If they detect your position, it will be a problem for Edward.", says Serena politely.

Erin stays in the shawl and sits behind Serena for not being noticed. She can't do anything other than this for now. Her powers are still sealed and she doesn't even know how to break them free. So she has no choice but to wait for the right opportunity.

Erin is praying for Edward even if he doesn't listen to her when she wants to. But he has helped her this far. And he has even gone out to fight those vampires who are large in number only to protect her. He is doing a lot for her! So she can at least do this for him.

"Please, God! Please look after Edward. Please, please, please, please. I beg you.", Erin is begging for Edward's protection.

Serena hears her plead and smiles. "What a sweet girl. She is praying for the man who is after her blood. Edward doesn't even believe in God. They are the complete opposite! And still, they are compatible. I wonder what the future holds!", Serena is wondering about Erin and Edward and hoping that everything will turn out good for both of them.
