I can't believe all of this was really taking place right now! Some of them went ahead and occupied the rooms. The moans and their ecstatic screams are heard all around me. I couldn't bear it anymore.
“Can I leave to my room?" I asked softly, looking away from the girls and vampires as I look at Alexander . He takes a sip of blood from his glass and I held back the urge to puke on him.
“No. If you're not going to join us, then you're going to stay here and get used to it." He said, leaning back in his
chair . I just stood there not knowing how to leave from here. " Danny appear out of nowhere and tried to drag me.
“For god's sake Katarina," David whined across the room and I kept silent, tears threatening to fall. Was tonight finally
the night they were going to feed on me?
"Come here.” David called me but I shook my head. He seem not to take “no” for an answer because the next thing I knew, he cupped my cheeks, causing me to look at him .
"I can't, please.." I choked out . He let out a sigh before leaning closer to my face.
“I like you Katarina, I do," he started and my eyes widened when I noticed his blue eyes getting a shade darker, a sign
that he was either mad or starving. "But it's getting very hard to resist you.” He barely mumbled the words as I froze in my position.
“David, don't, give her a little more time. Kat come here, I'll keep you safe." Franklin said, raising his voice as David groan in frustration before standing up straight and releasing me from his grip.
I decided to sit near Franklin but just as I stood up from my position, my knees connected to the corner of the table, I crunched with pain on the floor. Worse happened next. The moment I got up on my feet, my head collided on the back of the table and I heard a loud "crash” before everyone in the room grew quiet. My eyes widened when I saw the wine glass shattered all over the floor . I quickly rushed to pick up the pieces of broken glass.
“I'm sorry, it was an accident." I apologized quickly, trying to pick the pieces up and clean up the mess.
“Don't, you're going to-" before Alexander could finish, I winced in pain when I felt a sharp object pierce through my skin.
"Cut through your skin” Alexander muttered as I stared at the blood trickling down my finger and onto my palm.
"I'm sorry for causing so much trouble!" I said out loud while standing up. It took me a few seconds to realize that every single guy in the room was now staring at me, their eyes growing pitch black, sending shivers down my spine. What's wrong with them?
"Be more careful! Why do you always keep messing things up for all of us and-"
“Katarina, you're hurt..." Joey cut off Kristen as I stared at him in confusion before realization came crashing down
on me like waves.
“Ah-this, I'm fine!" I said, quickly wiping the blood on my sweater and taking a step back.
"Your blood, it smells. " Joey trailed off, pushing the girl off his lap. Almost every guy in the room took a step towards me, causing me panic. Wh-what was going on?
"Delicious." Danny finished as all nodded. " I'll be going.” I choked out quickly and turned to leave when soem guy appeared in front of me, causing me to gasp and
recoil in fear.
“I knew there was something special about you." He said, fixating his eyes on my fingers and I took several steps back
before bumping into someone else. I spun around to face Joey who was now glaring down at me. It wasn't long
before half of the guys huddled around me like predators.
"Stop..." was all I could choke out, tears already streaming down my face as I tried to keep calm.
"You guys, calm the fuck down!" I heard David shout across the room but none of them seemed to listen. They all closing in on me.
"Leave her alone." Upon hearing Alexander's voice, they took a step
back obediently. By now, I was on the floor, my whole body trembling as I tried to take in what was happening.
Seeing a shadow tower over me , I look up to face Alexander who is looking at me intensely.
"I-I didn't do anything, I swear I was just-"
“I know." He said softly, picking me up in his arms before my head started to feel dizzy. It wasn't long before I ended
up in my room.
"Clean that up." He said shortly, pointing at my fingers and then my knees. I looked down and noticed the small
scrape on my right knee before going silent.
“I'm lost, why were they-?" I stopped when Alexander glared at me.
“The blood obviously! Now hurry up and clean it up before I change my mind and take you back downstairs." He spat
out, hunger filling his eyes . I quickly shook my head, fear rushing all over my face. I don't understand. My blood was
just like any other blood so why were they all trying to attack me?
Alexander took a deep breath before
disappearing out of the room. He returned back with a small first-aid box and ordered me to sit down on the bed. I did as I was told and quietly sat on the bed as I tried to figure out why the guys have gone all maniac on me back there.
"Give me your finger.” Draven said, sitting down on the bed next to me and I didn't question him. He was about to fix it up but stopped to stare at the blood dripping down my finger.
“Alexander." I choked out when he held my hands, bringing them closer to his lips and inhaling deeply. “Don't.” I pleaded but it was too late. He licked off the blood from my fingers and exhaled deeply, as if he was satisfied with what he just tasted. I closed my eyes shut, ready to face what was coming next but to my surprise, I felt no more pain.
"I'm not going to do anything, relax." I heard him say and I opened my eyes to see him bandaging my cut.
"I-I thought you were going to..." trailed away.
"Feed on you? I can assure you, barbie doll that day will be coming very soon." He said, motioning me to turn around
and bring up my knee. I turned to face him and brought up my knees on the bed and he stared at my small scratch as if contemplating whether he should lick off the blood or not.
"What happened to them back there?" I asked and stopped as He gave me a rather annoyed look before picking out another Band-Aid from the box and patching up my knee.
“I told you already." He muttered, closing the box and standing up to leave.
"Wait, but I don't understand," I started, grabbing his finger . I quickly let go and mumbled a sorry, feeling a little embarrassed for getting too clingy.
"It's your blood. It's different." He finally said, turning away. “It has a different smell and taste than the normal
ones we've drank so far" He finished and my mind went blank at his words.
"Is-is that a bad thing?" I finally stammered and I heard him chuckle softly. He glanced back at me before the corner of his lips curled into his usual cold smirk.
"For you? Yes," he said, slipping his hands inside his pockets and turning away again.
"For me? No."with that said, he left me. I have to extra careful now that my blood lures them.
When Alexander drank from my dad, he didn't say anything nor did it lure other vampires. Then how my blood differ from his? I don't understand what's happening to me.
