My Rose

Chapter Seventeen: Turned

My fangs jumped back out with less pain than last time. I scanned the field and saw nothing that smells of blood. "Where is it," I demanded. Following the scent down into the base. It didn't take me long to find it. Bags of blood sitting behind the counter. Without thinking, I started chugging every single bag of blood. Rose and Alex followed me downstairs. Alex had the look of amusement, while Rose had the look of concern. "I had a feeling she'd need a little something to tie her over," Alex said, folding his arms. "Why don't I feel full-filled? I just drank 20 large bags of fucking blood,"

"Because that isn't human blood. It's animal's blood. It'll take the edge off until we get you a human to feed on," Rose said, wiping the blood from my mouth. Funny, it used to be just me doing that to her. "You should know, once you've had human blood, you'll be fully turned," Alex explained. After being with Rose, Beth and Alex, I'm not afraid of being one of them. Although I am afraid of harming innocent people. "I don't want to feed on innocent people," I stated. "You won't have to. You can do what we do, and go after people who aren't so innocent. The ones who deserve it," Rose explains. Okay, I like that idea. "I actually found a guy who most definitely deserves it. He's tied up in the woods right now," Alex said matter of factly.

That peaked my interest. "What did he do," I demanded. "He likes to rape woman and children," Alex said with a disgusted face. "Then he definitely deserves it," I grinned. "How about this, Alex, you inform everyone of Skye's arrival. And Skye and I will pay a visit to the man," Rose said. "Yes your majesty," Alex bowed. He smiled at me then left. "Wait, we don't know where he is tied up. How are we going to find him?" I asked confused. "You are going to track his scent, his blood," Rose said, walking up the stairs. "But I don't know how to do that,"

"Yes you do. You just did it. You found the blood down here didn't you?" She grinned. "Yeah, I guess I did," I said proudly. Maybe I'm better at this whole vampire thing than I think I am. I followed Rose to the middle of the front yard. "Alright, start tracking," Rose said, resting her hands behind her back. I took a deep breath and relaxed. Focusing on my sense of smell, I could smell the bark on the trees, the flowers scattered all around, the grass, and water. There must be a body of water nearby. "I can smell the trees, flowers, grass and water. But I don't smell any blood or sweaty gross men," I sighed. "Try moving around. Walk over to the tree line," Rose suggested. Taking her suggestion, I walked over to the tree line.

I immediately picked up a slight scent of what I think is the man. I turned my body towards the direction where the scent was the strongest. "Have you picked up on something?" Rose walked up behind me. "I think it's him," I said a little hesitantly. I kind of want to impress her, but I also need to know if I'm right. Rose smelled the air, her eyes turned a slight shade of red. "Am I right?" I asked. "Yes you are. No follow it, just like you did before,"

I started walking in the direction where the scent was its strongest. Finding a constant trail, I wanted to go a little faster. I looked over at Rose with an evil grin. "And what is it that you're thinking of?" She questioned, raising her eyebrow. Everytime she does that, it makes me want to stop whatever it is that I'm doing or planning to do. But not this time. "Just wondering if you could keep up with me,"

"What do you mean by that? Of course I can-"

I cut her off by running off as fast as I could. To me, it looked like I was in a moving car. But it was just me running. I could get used to this speed thing. To no surprise, Rose had caught up with me, running at my side. "I thought I told you to stop running from me!" She shouted. "Yeah, I don't listen very well," I joked back. "Guess we're going to have to train you to," She smiled devilishly. Before I could say anything, she sped up. She was now way ahead of me, but not out of sight. Not wanting to let her win, I ran faster. I soon caught up with her with ease. I looked at her with challenging eyes. She was shocked to see me beside her. "Why so shocked?" I taunted jokingly. "You are the first to ever be able to keep up with me," She said in disbelief. "And I bet I could outrun you," I yelled, running even faster. I was now running at full speed. I looked behind me and saw that Rose was actually struggling to keep up with me, cute.

Looking back ahead of me, the man's scent became stronger. He is definitely close by. A split second later, I could see him tied up to a tree. Probably about a hundred yards ahead. I stopped, trying to strain my eyes to see him better. "Is that him?" I asked Rose. "Wait just a second. It was actually tiring trying to keep up with you princess," Rose said out of breath. "Oh come on. I wasn't going that fast. Was I?"

"I am the fastest vampire out there and even I had a hard time keeping up with you,"

"Oh," I shrugged my shoulders. I looked back over to the man, Rose still hadn't answered my question. "Can you answer my question now?" I said, not taking my eyes off of him. "Yes, that's him. Follow your instincts and go for it,"

I wasn't sure what to do at first, so I slowly walked up to him. Careful to not be seen just yet. I walked around so that I was now behind him. The closer I got, the more I felt my fangs burn. I need a taste.

**SNAP**

Fucking idiot! I stepped on a damn stick. The man threw his head up and looked around frantically. I could hear his heart beating out of his chest. I looked over at Rose and she was just smiling in amusement. Ignoring her, I focused on the man once again. I could smell the fear coming off him. It made me feel..great. Like a drug I've never had before. A powerful and addictive one. I think I'm going to mess with him a little, before having a bite. It sounds..fun. I quickly ran up to the tree he was tied to. "Boo," I whispered in his ear.

"Ahh! Please don't hurt me! Please just let me go!" The man begged. His eyes wide from fear. He looked like he was staring death in the eyes. I mean, I guess he is. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I can't just let you go. See, I've been told that you aren't as innocent as you have claimed to be," I taunted. I grabbed his arm and forced him to stand. The cuts on his arms were cut open again from being dragged on the tree bark. I could see Rose out of the corner of my eye. She wanted to step in and have him, but she was too interested in how I was handling him. "Do you like to rape women and children?"

"What?! N-no-"

"Don't lie to me! That would be a very stupid thing to do!" I spat, choking him. Not only was I filled with hunger for this man's blood, but I was filled with rage for the pain that he has inflicted. Pain that I could relate to. The man is now shaking, and I love it. "I'm going to make this easy for you," I said. I let his throat go and put my hands on my waist. I took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. "You will tell me the truth. Do you like to rape innocent women and children," I said calmly, but with a slight hiss in my tone. "Yes," He said blankly. "Now was that so hard?" I taunted, blinking to stop the trance.

"What?! H-how did you do that?!" he cried. "It's called persuasion," I grinned. "Please, please don't hurt me," the man begged. I've gotten my answer, and the hunger is starting to become unbearable. "Aww. Too bad," I said, before digging my teeth into his neck. I found the vein on my first try. It's a good thing that he deserves this, because I can't stop myself from draining him. I felt the life leave his body as he fell limp. Soon he was bone dry. I stood up feeling satisfied. This strange feeling of peace is a little overwhelming. Something I can't really describe. My senses had definitely gotten stronger as I was feeding on him.

My eyesight is incredible. I can hear every little movement all around me, and my sense of smell is about a thousand times better. Now I can really smell a body of water nearby. I looked back at Rose who just stood in awe. "How was that for my first kill?" I asked, smiling. I walked up to her with my hands resting on my hips. "That wasn't so bad, little one," She smiled. "Now you have officially turned my love.."
