'It's okay. I understand you also have a life so can't go around babysitting me all day.' He giggles at your comment. 'Nathan, if you ever need to drink my blood, you have my permission'. Nathan looks a bit surprised that you would say that him.
'I hadn't actually drank any human blood before I drank yours you know.' He looks down 'I think that's why I found it so hard to stop. My self-restraint had been knocked out of practice. And now I've gotten the taste for it, especially yours, I'm afraid I'll take advantage.' You approach him and put your hand on his shoulder.
'Cray, oh' you notice you called him his online name 'Nathan, you have my permission. You do not need to worry.' He looks up at you see him glance at your neck. His eyes turn a little red but he turns away looking out the window instead. He takes a deep breath.
'I appreciate that Y/N. But anyway, he says changing the subject 'you must have many questions do you not? I think it's time for a Crayator Q&A.' he says smiling, picking up on you calling him that. You both sit on your bed and you know you have loads of questions but you aren't sure where to start. You recall the night it all happened and realise you had completely forgotten the vampire that started all this in the first place.
'The other vampire who bit me, who was he? He seemed frightened of you when you threatened him.' Nathan sways his head in dismay.
'That was Kiro, another vampire from a family around here. He likes to cause trouble where he can. But I've never known him to go this far. His need to experiment must have gotten the better of him. You don't need to worry about him though. He was threatened by me because I now work for his father, Lord Orpheous Belmont.' He seems a little out of breath from all the explaining.
'I see. What do you do for his father?'. You are rather interested in the vampire heritage and lifestyle now you are living it.
'I make sure we all follow the law to keep our peace with humans without allowing them to discover us and that includes his son.' You nod your head in interest. 'There aren't many vampires, not as many as those films and tv programmes make you think.' You are surprised. You thought it would be a whole secret underworld around the globe.
'So, how many of you are there then?' 'Well as far as we know in this area, there are only 3 families. Mine the Ryans, Kiros the Belmonts and then there's the Sanguis family. We don't have much contact with them but there are rumours they still prey on humans in the shadows of our force even though they have the blood tablets.' You are surprised that there are so little of them.
'Are there no others in the world?' you ask. Surely there would be some sort of other group. Could it only just be here?
'Well, it's hard to find a being who is trying so hard not to be found.' You agree, he does make sense. For all they know they could have some neighbouring vampires in a different region of Australia but both circles are so discreet they don't recognise each other as fellow vampires. 'Luckily we have the advantage of having someone in the Belmonts family being a scientist so he was able to create the blood tablets for us. It was only a recent discovery within the last 40 years. But it has worked a charm. I have grown up on them so it was easier to adapt. Some of the older vampires still have trouble controlling themselves over blood. They were so used to drinking both animal and human blood that it was a big part of their lifestyle they had to change. Anyhow, I have talked a lot. Any more questions Y/N?' he asks you.
'I remember you talking about curses and that Kiro was cursed. Does everyone have a curse?' He smiles at you.
'Not everyone has a curse. Kiros family is just cursed as a whole. Vampires can also have powers. Even though I have the curse to change humans, I have the power to wipe people memories. Much like Hana. My mother has the power to heal in which I gained by drinking her blood which I needed to fulfil to become a vampire.' You feel you have suddenly learned a lot so you become filled with more questions.
'So you can gain powers from other vampires by drinking their blood?' you ask curiously.
'Yes, so that means you now have the power to wipe memories and heal from myself and my mother.' He explains. 'Luckily curses don't get transferred. But also, each new vampire has a power. Or most do anyway. So, you have yet to find out what yours may be.' You become excited. A power of your own? What could it possibly be? And how on earth would you be able to find out? 'Don't worry about knowing what it is yet.' Nathan states, as if reading your mind. 'You'll find out when you need it most.' You nod your head in agreement. 'Right' Nathan continues, 'I'm going to tell you the vampire law real quick, just so I don't have to arrest you' he smirks. 'Number one, do not tell anyone, not even your closest family member or friend, that you are a vampire. Humans always run their mouths no matter what it is. Number two, no drinking human blood. It risks us being found and also puts you in bad habit and no self-control. Last but not least, if for any reason a human has discovered your true form, be sure to wipe their memory. Got it?' You nod smiling. He smiles back at you and you feel the connection again. He must be feeling it too judging by what he says next. 'Y/N, can I offer you the human tradition of a date?'. The subject change caught you off guard a little but you instantly reply with
'Yes! Of course!'. You can't keep your excitement inside and your mouth open in a wide smile revealing your fangs. He looks at them smiling too and revealing his. Before the moment passes he leans in and kisses you on the lips. You weren't expecting it and are still smiling when he kisses you. You both laugh.
'Shall we get a second take of that?' he says to you. You giggle
'yes, of course'. You both look at each others lips and lean in for a proper kiss this time. You feel a slight tickle of his moustache but it doesn't bother you. His lips are so soft and he kisses as if he has all the passion in the world. He puts his hand around your head to bring you closer. It's just a nice simple make out session. A few seconds later you both release from each others lips and smile at each other. Your eyes are both now full of passion and excitement more so than the craving of blood.
'The Dover Café, 10am tomorrow? Before I stream?' he asks.
'I don't know where that is but luckily google maps exists!' you say comically. He smiles at your comment.
'It's a date my Lady' he responds in a gentlemanly voice. You both get up and you walk him to your door. 'I'll see you tomorrow' he says as he walks to the door. As he is about to leave you notice a patch of blood on his neck.
'Nathan, wait!' he turns around not knowing what you wanted. 'You have some blood on you' you say. He is about to wipe it off but instead you stop him and slowly lean into his neck. You lick the blood off to show him your control.
'Mhm very impressive Miss Y/N. I'm proud of you,' he says. You lighten up inside at this comment. 'See you tomorrow' he says as he gives you one last kiss before he goes. You savour the kiss on your lips for as long as you can. He turns to leave with a smile on his face and heads back home. You close the door and lean on it and take a huge breath. It's as if all your dreams are coming true. It feels so weird that you are still doubting if you are really awake. You smile to yourself and chill out on your computer for the rest of the evening.
