Chapter two
I was back in the bed this time my right temple was blazing with fairy pain. “This time you’re not getting up until I think that you are able to not faint and destroy some more of my clothes with you body fluids.” I herd Bran’s voice tell me half joking with me and the rest painfully serious. I felt Bran’s cold skin holding on to my hand. I took the free hand and slowly lifted it to the pain that I could hardly stand. “Annika is getting some stuff for you. I’m sorry that dhampires aren’t fast healers like us.” he said griping my hand a little harder. “First; why do I hurt and then what is a what ever you called me?” I asked kind of slurring my words like a drunken Irish women. “When I proved to you that I wasn’t lying to you about vampires you skittered back and fell. You hit your head against the bed side table. You hurt your self quite bad, and I called you a dhampire it’s what you call a vampire human hybrid.” He said over the screams I was crying out of agony. “I don’t have any pain killers, but I do have something that will help until Anni comes back with some.” He told me. “Give it to me!” I streaked at him then went back to my screaming.
I felt a sharp puncture against my wrist then a wave of pleasure took over my body. My head felt like it was going to explode, but not for the same reason. I started to moan and then I looked Bran to see what he had done to me. When I saw him what I thought kissing my wrist I was proven wrong with the sodden stream of crimson running from his mouth down my skin to the bed covers when he swallowed my thick blood. Then he drank some more and we both moaned. He took his mouth away from my bleeding wrist to look at me. “I’m back!” Annika said bursting in the room disrupting the strong sexual desire we both wanted for the other. “You bit her!” She streaked. “She was in pain! Was I supposed to just let her take that agony that I caused?” he out lased at Annika. “You were gone for two hours Anni!” he shouted. I think he would have scared me if I wasn’t high off of his bite. “Sorry.” She whispered then gave him the bag full of supplies. He came back to the sit where he was before Annika walked in. I think once this buzz is gone I will fell embarrassed.
“Sorry; you shouldn’t have had to seen that.” He told me fixing my wounds up. “It’s all good.” I said with a droopy smile. He laughed at me with his angelic laugh. “I shouldn’t have done that.” He told me with a smile that said beg to differ. “You liked it; I liked it. I’m good; you’re good.” I told him sounding even drunker then when I spoke before. “Well then.” He said with an awkward smile. “You see; we Andries don’t get fresh blood like that, so I’m on a high like you. That’s why Anni is so mad. Well jealous rather then mad.” He said talking to me on and on. Just talking to be talking I guess. “So; you say that my father was…is a royal?” I said when he ran out of things to say. “Was.” He said helping me sit up.
“My grandfather; Theodoric Andries wanted to rule the vampire would, so he killed the king. His name was Ludwig Alwen; he was your grandfather. When Theodoric did this he had taken over the royal name and started the well known Andries/Alwen family feud. His wife Sorne Alwen was expecting her first. She has Cornelis and Erwin Alwen–“I cut him off with “Erwin Alwen? Poor kid!” my face got back to the story “Then what?” I asked. “He was your father.” He said. “He had an affair – that was then illegal at the time – with a human nineteen years ago. That is why you and your mother are not in the royal family by name but you can’t help the blood that flows in your veins. Your mother’s last name – and yours – Birger in it self is a prophecy. It means ‘to help, to save, and to protect’ you are prophesized by name to end the family feud, but you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to.” He told me.
“I’m not going to give you this until the venom is out of your system.” He told me holding up some pain killers changing the subject quickly. “Venom?” I asked. “All vampires have venom in their saliva. Depending on what the vampire wants to do with the victim. They can turn them; that what I used, but I didn’t give you vary much so you won’t turn don’t worry. It just makes you feel high. Then you can kill the victim with the venom.” He told me checking on my wrist. “Almost healed.” He told me with a little smile. “What about how I felt when you bit me. I felt like…like…” I was trying to find a word when he said. “Orgasmic?” he said with I bigger smile. “Yeah; why?” I asked. “The saliva has that effect on everybody’s both victims; turning or killing. I use to joke with Alexander he was my brother when you die like that; that it was a good way to die. The vampire also feels it.” He said blushing. I never thought that he could look even more gorgeous then he already was.
“You are so adorable when you blush.” I put my hand on his rose colored cheeks and stroked his butter skin. “Sunlight?” I asked randomly. “Will not kill us, but it bothers us.” he said taking the hand I had on his cheek and holds it in his. “Garlic, holy water, coffins, stake to the hart?” I said as I poked him in the chest at the stake to the hart part. He gave me the sweet laugh that I think I’m getting addicted to. “Garlic is just plain nasty. Holy thing in general don’t bother us, and you can only kill us by beheading. That why they invented the gelatin.” He said opening the pain killers. “You should start feeling pain in a bit take these.” He said handing me three little pills. “I’m going to need something to drink.” I told him. “Oh; right hold on.” He said getting off the bed. He moved out of the room so fast I could hardly see his blur.
He came back with in seconds with a glass of water. He sat next to me handing me to water. I put the pills in my mouth then took a sip of the water. “Thank you my head was getting a little fuzzy.” I told him. The bottle said that it mat cause drowsiness. So why don’t you just go ahead and lay down and sleep.” I looked into Brans eyes one last time. He took the covers and helped me get in them. They were so smooth; it was like lying in water. Then he left the room and I shut my eyes. Just as I was slipping into a well needed sleep I heard a noise from the window.
I got up to see what it was. A white haired guy was staring at me with pure black eyes. He ran toward me and put me in a hold that had my neck exposed. I scram for Bram, but as soon as I got the ‘b’ out I was silenced by a fist running into my through. “You sssmell nissse young one.” He said then went to bite me. Then I was on the floor with Bran standing over me protectively hissing; he was really hissing. The white hair was like a bolt of lighting in a black mass when he ran back out the window in a blur. I looked at Bran then I blacked out completely.
When I came to for the third time in a three hour radius Bran was sitting over me playing with my hand. Intertwining my fingers with his and then untwining our fingers to do it again. “I think you’re having a rough night Sonya.” Whenever he said my name it was like chocolate toped with chocolate syrup in my mouth. “I would say so; a lot of black out and me falling. Was their ant bodily fluids this time?” I ask jokingly. “No not this time.” He said with a little smile. “What was that?” I asked. “It was an Ide. They are a type of vampire, always thirsty; which is why they are called Ide. It means thirst in Celtic.” He said stroking my hair with his free hand.
“So was I almost his little snack?” I asked smiling so he wouldn’t think that I was scared out of the Wiggins’. “Yes, but I would prefer if you were my little snack only.” He said with a guilty pleaser look. “I don’t mean it as I wanted to eat you to death.” He said after I fell silent. We both ended up almost peeing our pants at a dirty twist of words.
“I didn’t mean that ether.” He said with an even guiltier look that I look as the wanted to do what we had twisted. “Dirty vampire.” I said with a smug smile. “I am only when I’m with you.” He said looking up from our intertwined hands. He moved closer to me; his whole body at first then his face coming closer to mine to kiss me. When he was close enough I leaned in to close the space between our lips.
Kissing his soft lips was the move beautiful thing I have ever done, and I didn’t even know that kissing can be beautiful. Within seconds out lips touched Annika came bursting in the room all dramatic like. “You can’t just glamour her into liking you Bran!” she said standing just in the room. “I’m not using glamour on anyone Anni. Stop overreacting; she kissed me. He said staring into my eyes with a happy glow from my white flag to my trust. “What’s glamour?” I asked. “It’s when a vampire or even a little dhampire like you can have anybody do something against their will and to yours.” Annika said staying where she stood looking totally discussed that she was in the same room with me. “I can do what vampires can?” I asked Bran but as soon as he opened his mouth Annika interrupted him “Not everything but glamour is one.” She said worming up to me a little more. “What else can I do?” I asked eagerly. I moved away from Bran a little to see Annika better. “I’ll leave you two for some girl time. Maybe Anni could take you home?” Bran said asking. I could tell that he didn’t want for me to leave and when I wanted to he wanted to take me. “I’ll leave that to you I’m not getting attacked by Ide for a little dhampire. Why are you so intrigued by vampire shit anyway?” she asked getting defensive.
“It’s my background. I have been trying for years to find out about my past. About my father.” I told her as simple as I was counting to three. This shocked her; she just stood just inside of the room. It was minutes before she had any other reaction. Before she took a breath in then she lunched on top of me teeth bearing. “This.” She hissed at me. Gosh what’s up with all the hissing? “This is what your daddy was you filthy dhampire!” She took in an execrating inhale. “You do smell good.” She looked at Bran. “I don’t mind if the feud goes on. I want to drink. I’m awfully thirsty.” She was just about my neck when Bran grabbed her by the neck. He tossed her to the other side of the room “You know that’s how Ide become what they are. We have enough as is we don’t need to tie another royal Ide in the world. That would just create another feud and being here would just be a waste.” He said. “I’m a waste?” I asked when it fell silent. “NO!” he said coming back to me. “You would in no way become a waste; well unless you would give yourself to the Ide community like Annika over their.” he gave a sneer to Annika over on the other side of the room. She looked like a little girl that just got beaten.
“I think you need to go home lets go.” He took me by the arm and led me down stars. “Can we get something to eat?” I asked starved. “Food; yes human girl needs good. Lets see what’s open at four in the AM.” He said grabbing a coat for me and took me out side. “Lets take my car.” He said. “Stay here.” He said. He turned the corner to the side of the “house”. After a few seconds a 2007 BMW M6 convertible…red. My jaw dropped. Wow I thought to myself. “Here you go my lady.” He said getting out of the car and walking to the passengers’ side to open it. “Nice, nice car.” I said. I walked over to the car; standing in front of him. “Is something wrong Sonya?” he asked.
“No nothings wrong.” I told him
“Do you want to get in, or walk?” He smiled.
“Tell me more about my family.” I said getting in the car. He closed the door and before I could blink he was sitting next to me. I smiled. “Your family huh?” I started the car and took of. “I don’t really know about them. With the feud we never got to be friends.” I smiled at me. “I do think that your father loved you mother very much to break the laws.” I didn’t talk much after that. “Your sister doesn’t like me very much.” I said breaking the silence. “She’ll learn to.” He said in a firm told.
