Chapter 9

He smiled down at me and I couldn’t help but smile back. This was all very confusing I should feel the presence of danger, but nothing came, no need to run or flinch at his touch. Everything about him felt right…

“You must be wondering” I looked into his eyes trying to make sense of what he was trying to say.

“Wondering what exactly?” The corner of his mouth twitched as if trying not to smile.

“I’ll explain everything, but right now I need you not to scream” I stared at him confused. Without a single word coming out of my own mouth he lifted his wrist and bared his teeth making a ripping sound, I should be scared; however, I felt safe.

“This won’t hurt. I promise” I nodded as if I understood everything. Placing his other hand around the back of my neck, he placed his wrist only inches away from my lips. I then knew where the ripping sound came from, his veins where no longer in tack, deep red blood dripped from his wrist as if it were offering to me in temptation. Placing my hands around his wrist I slowly licked the open wound allowing the little blood to run down my tongue and down my throat.

He pulled his wrist away from my lips, making me frown.

“Let’s go then” I glared at him.

“What the hell was that?!” I was brought back to my own thoughts and knowing I just tasted blood, his blood for that matter made me shutter in disgust. The moment he touched my bare arm I was calm again.

“Come on” His hand traced down my arm and slowly wrapped his hand around mine, allowing our fingers to intertwine. I was paralyzed, not physically, but mentally. My own body knew what to do but I had no control what so ever. My right foot took a step and then my left and so on. I couldn’t speak or anything to control my body and what I should do with it.

“I know a faster way” He let go of my hand and smiled and only a split second I was afraid, but the moment I was touched those thoughts were long forgotten. He took my hand once more and had me jump on his back, holding tightly I couldn’t dare wonder what the hell I was doing.

Feeling free was an understatement of what I was experiencing at this moment. I had the urge to spread my arms out, but that would result in falling. I didn’t want that to happen. Everything was a blur, but I could see every tree leaf as we passed as if it was under a microscope. I knew then I had to be hallucinating.

Time seemed to slow as I watched a Doe and Fawn drink from a nearby pond unaware of all the danger around them. I am to close for words. Everything hitting me all at once was overwhelming, but it all felt unbelievable as if it were all a dream. Somebody pinch me. Alive was all I could feel through my veins, excitement, daring, lust. I shook my head to clear those awful thoughts running through my mind at this moment, what was I even thinking?

Time began to slow and became a sudden stop. It took me a moment to understand what was going on. As if on command I jumped off his back and placed my hand on his shoulder for balance.

“You’ll get used to that” I heard him chuckle as he took my hand in his and faced me. I couldn’t say a word, I wanted to, but couldn’t. Strange as it might sound, I trust him.

“We better get going” I nodded and had him lead the way as our fingers were intertwined.

He walked smoothly as if he glided on the forest floor. His free hand was pushing away branches as I walked a step behind him, still hand in hand. He suddenly stopped and turned toward me.

“Were here” I took in a deep breath as he removed his hand from mine. The side of his lip formed half of a smile. He brought his wrist toward his mouth and bared his fangs again. I immediately reached for his wrist but he took a step back.

“This time you need more” I shuddered at the thought of his blood, but it was as if I was taking life and receiving more energy than I ever had before. That is my reaction of seeing his blood moments ago. Which of course made me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

“You need more” He took a step toward me placing his hand on the back of my neck and pushed me gently closer to him. I starred at his now bloody wrist with amusement and most of all thirst.

“Don’t worry you’re not becoming one” I giggled at the sound of his voice when he reassured me, as if he was reading my mind. That would be the icing on the cake. Clearing my “human” thoughts, I focused again on the blood that made my mouth water. Slowly I reached for his wrist out in front of me and brought it an inch away from my lips. Licking my lips I knew then I never wanted something more in my entire life. Giving in, I slowly licked off the dripping blood and went for the open vein. Blood entered my mouth in full, allowing me to drink in satisfaction. My heart came to life, allowing his blood to go through my own veins, giving me a life I never even dreamed of. A rush of wind made me take a step back, no skin contact between us both.

“Heinrik who is she?” I turned slowly facing at least five of what I could tell to be very strong men, that won’t give up a fight.

“This is Katreena, who’ve we been waiting for” I looked at whose name happened to be Heinrik, puzzled. He looked back at me and did a small short nod as to play along. I gave him a quick smile in response and turned my attention back to the men. I kept a strong face to keep focused. One man stepped forward and drew his sword. I took in a sharp breath to all of their appearances. Well fit, but surprisingly pale.

“I will introduce myself and your guardians”

“My guardians?” I asked questionably, cocking my head to the side confused.

“You don’t think we would leave you unprotected, would you?” I shook my head trying to make things seem like I knew everything, when really I didn’t have a single clue.

“Well then I am Everit the leader of our covenant” He stepped aside allowing myself to see the others. They all had long hair as if they were Indians with no tan of course. All their hair was the same, but each of their appearance was very unique from the each other’s. A strong squared face structured man took a step toward me and kneeled.

“I am Karver your highness” I took a step back at the name he had given me. He stood and took a step back with his fellow mates.

“Hunter your highness” Delicate features caught me in an instant, but quickly went away, who knew what he was or I thought he was. Who really knows at this point?

“Trixter” I nodded as he stood and smiled when seeing hazel eyes sparkle. I didn’t know that was possible. Oh well.

“And I am Viktor at your service” He didn’t meet my eyes, but once he stood I took in a deep breath as I saw his face, but he was different somehow.

“Sean…” I said below a whisper, but he had no memory of me what so ever.
