All Chapters of TAINTED BY THE VAMPIRE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12 ClaraIt has been 3 days since I have seen or heard from Nicholas. After our complicated dinner date and that awful nightmare I have not so much as received a call from him. Nothing at all, no explanation, no apology, no greeting, nothing. I wanted to be strong and say it didn't affect me, that I didn't care, but it did, much more than I can admit to. I thought about him every single second that I wasn't deliberately keeping my mind busy. I could not concentrate in class. Every lecture I attended felt like a complete waste of time when I could not be with him. I wondered why he hadn't called me back yet. It was so strange. A few days ago he was confessing his undying love for me and now he couldn't even care to know if I was alright. Sure we didn't exactly part ways in the best of terms, but we were having a very good time before his brother came and made it very awkward. I was getting to know him a little behind all his witty remarks and his huge ego. I was starting

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

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

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

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
