Dark Love
Chapter 1
The pain was like being stabbed with a thousand knives right into my heart.
“Dimitri!” I heard myself shout at the top of my voice, also heavy with pain and fright.
A soft, “shhhhhhhhh,” came from my left ear, the most gentle and mesmerising voice then told me, “There’s nothing to fear, my love. I'm here, I will protect you. Nothing will harm you ever, ever again in my presence.” His voice was only a whisper but my hearing had increased immensely so I heard the next thing very well, “welcome to your new life my love,” then the magical laugh I knew too well came to his full and delicious lips.
Then, right at that point in time, my memory crashed back into me.
“Emma, Emma, oh my gosh, it’s a fucking zoo in there, why don't you come in and enjoy yourself for once, come on please,” she gave me the cheesy smile that only she could wear. Then she grabbed my arm and pulled me off of the comfy sofa into the party of one of the most famous teenagers at Lawrence high, which made this one of the biggest parties of the year. And Talia (short for Natalia) and I were oh so lucky to be going.
By the end of the night I had seven hook ups and given my cell phone number out to around about nine guys and now I was totally wasted.
As I was starting my eighth hook up of the night I felt a slight tap on my shoulder. It was Talia. Her face was full of pain with tears falling down her chubby and baby like cheeks. “Oh my god, what happened?” I said slowly easing my way off of what’s his face that I was sitting on.
“Nothing. Just leave it. I’ll tell you later. Can we just go please?” she said in her cute but hurt baby voice.
So I left it for now, but I knew I was going to get it off of her sooner or later.
Once we got outside I breathed a sigh of relief. It was so nice to get out of that place.
We started to walk home but I said, “Talia, come this way, I found us a short cut.” So just like normal she followed without question.
As we were walking I suddenly remembered then asked, “So why did we have to leave?” but when I looked over at her she wasn’t there. “Hey, Talia, where’d you go?” that’s when I saw the man. He was just standing there steering straight at me. “Hey, um, did you see a young blonde? Around my height? Really pretty?”
“I'm sorry, my dear, I did not see a young girl with you,” he replied.
“Um, ha, ok?”
Suddenly he stepped into the light, now I could get a good look at him. But for some reason my memory was really fuzzy at that time and I couldn’t see him at all. So he turned out to be one big bluer. But at the same time very familiar.
I stepped back as he stepped forward. I didn’t feel like being raped tonight. But right then, so fast I didn’t see him move, he grabbed me by the shoulders and then kissed me fiercely. I nearly fell but he had put his arms around me and was holding me up right. I tried to push him away but he was too strong. Then, finally, he pulled away just as the pain sprung up. It was coming from the side of my neck then went away just as fast as it came. It was replaced with a pleasure so intense I didn’t feel myself falling, and then hit the ground. When I woke up I was in my bed, and that's when I meet Dimitri.
Back in the present I was still lying on my bed in agonising pain while Dimitri held me in his large, strong arms, on my bed. He stroked the hair back that was sticking to my sweaty face while singing my song he wrote for me in his home language. He comes from the whales. Mmm... My sexy Whelsh guy.
I suddenly heard a huge thud and the pain was gone.
“It’s finished, your more alive than you have ever been before,” Dimitri whispered in my ear. He then sat up and got off of the bed and went to the corner of my dark and closed off room. Clothes covering the floor where he had just walked.
It should have made sense what he was talking about but I had no idea. Was he talking about the pain, the intense and most excruciating pain I had ever felt? I had no idea so I asked. “What are you talking about? I'm sorry but obviously I'm missing out on something really good so spit it out, what are you on about?”
He looked at me, with his large brown, deep eyes that made my face go bright red. He looked dazed and confused. He also did that thing were you tilt your head to the side when you get really confused, I found it cute whenever he did it. Then realisation set in to his features, “you have no recollection of what has happened in the past twenty four hours have you?” I shook my head. I loved it when he talked all proper like. “Well then I have some explaining to do, don't I?” and there it was again, the one laugh I could never forget. “Do you remember what I am?” it seemed ridiculous what he had just asked but his face was dead serious.
“Of course, you’re a human,” I said pretty sure I was dead right until I looked into his eyes, “aren’t you?” I then asked. He then took about two steps and he was at my bed side while it would take me about four.
He took my chin in his huge strong hands and held it steady.
“Emma, I am no longer a human, I have not been a human for five hundred years now,” his face was hard but it had a hint of compassion in it.
I felt the confusion come over my face. What the hell was he on about? He looked like a human, his skin didn’t have any fur on it, so he couldn’t have been an animal, and he couldn’t have been some sort of hairless one either. I mean seriously, have you ever seen a hairless animal that looked like a human? Well I haven’t, that's for sure.
Something suddenly dawned on me. Did he say five hundred years? Once he realised I wasn’t going to say anything more he continued, “Emma, sweet heart, I am a vampire.”
A harsh laugh came to my lips. “You think you’re a vampire?” I said in a very harsh tone.
“Um, I don't think, I kow for a fact that I am a vampire and now you are too,” he then kissed me on the forehead.
And that's when another memory came crashing back into me.
After Dimitri found me lying on the ground dyeing of blood loss we became inseparable while we searched the country for any sign of Talia. But unfortunately, Talia had vanished off of the face of the earth; well that's what it seemed like.
About two months after that night, we had rented a flat for a couple of weeks while we searched this part of the country.
It was a dark stormy night when I suddenly saw the scar on his left hand. It was a circle, but with a darker crescent moon in the middle.
“Oh my gosh!” I exclaimed, and then I grabbed his hand so I could have a better look. Yep it was exactly as I have said it was before, a circle with a crescent moon in it.
He suddenly got harsh and pulled his hand away sharply. His nails sliced through my bear skin like sharp scissors to paper. “Ah,” I mumbled as I took a better look at the gash. Yep certainly a gash.
Dimitri quickly got up and ran gracefully to the kitchen and two seconds later re-emerged with a handful on paper towels. He strode so quickly and peacefully over to me and rapped my hand up. He had a strange face on, it looked like he was battling with himself deep inside but I didn’t understand why. I was watching him as he whipped away the blood. Suddenly he paused and only looked at my hands and the blood that was still pawing out of the gash.
“Emma...” he said without meeting my eyes.
“Yes?” he was hesitating, and that was not like him.
“We have to talk.” He said still not looking at me, instead, he rapped up my hand and sat back down in the same place as before but he sat further away from me now.
“Talk about what?” This was not looking good. Normally a guy says that kinda stuff only if he wants to break up with you.
“Well, there are things... that I haven't told you about... me,” there was huge hesitation now and I was getting worried.
“Hey, you know you can tell me anything, right?” I tried to move closer but he moved further away.
“Well, I'm sorry I have never told you this, but I didn’t realise how much I love you until this very moment, don't mistake what I am saying, I've always loved you, I knew I would as soon as I looked into those deep, friendly brown eyes, that I would love you until the end of time, but I didn’t realise just how much that love could grow, but now I do and this is the time. I have to tell you about me, all about me now, not tomorrow, not next week, now.” He now had a solemn look on his face. He then looked me in the eyes and put his strong hand under my chin so that I could only look at him, he was too strong for me to pull away, not that I wanted to, his touch was mesmerising.
“Dimitri... what are you talking about, your starting to scare me...” I held a very concerned mask on my face.
“Emma I am no longer a human... I am a creature of the night... a vampire as you may call us,” he was looking me straight in the eyes, but yet not at me at all, like he was looking into the past, his memories.
I felt my face shift from concerned girlfriend to... anger? Was I angry at him?
I said it before I realised, “you think you’re a vampire... like Dracula?”
“Well... yes I do, have you not noticed anything different about me? I haven’t needed to shave and my hair hasn’t grown at all. That's what the scar is about, it’s kind of like how vampires are supposedly pail white-“ that wasn’t true if what he was saying was true because he have a beautiful bronze colour to his skin, it seems to glow in the sun “- and can’t go into the sun or have fangs and sleep in coffins... well the vampires I know aren’t pail white and they can go out in sun light, they do have fangs but there are no coffins. I have fangs; have you ever noticed how sometimes when we are closed and I may look like I'm in pain?” I nodded, “well that's because I am, I feel pain whenever we are very close, I feel a deep desire to kiss you but... but I am to strong, I don't want to harm you Emma, but with my strength and my speed and all of my extra abilities that in some ways can be a fantastic thing to behold but in others... let’s just say it can become very dangerous for you to be anywhere near me at times, but I try to contain myself. Emma, I love you too much to have anything bad happen to you. If you got hurt in my presence, I don't know what I would do.” He suddenly stood up and went to the bathroom.
This is my only chance. I thought to myself. If I don't say something now, I may lose him forever.
“Dimitri!” I called after him, “Dimitri, I don't care what you are, as long as you never, ever leave me, then I'm fine with anything.”
I stopped at the door; he turned and looked straight in to my eyes. I loved it when he did that, because he's not looking at anything else, only me, it’s like I'm the only thing in the world that matters to him, but then suddenly, something cold and nasty appeared out of nowhere and I cringed away for his gaze.
“You don't understand, and you never will... unless...” and then the warmth was back. He took one long step to me and wrapped his long and strong arms around me, “unless you agree to become... like me,” He said, a dangerous and sexy smile on his face.
“When you say ‘like you’ are you referring to the vampire part?” I said with a sceptical mask on my face.
He laughed, and it felt as if the whole word stopped, “of cause I'm referring to the vampire part, what part would I be referring to?” he asked, still wearing a smile.
“I don't know... you could of ment the guy part. You might have wanted me to have a sex change...” I felt my face flush scarlet red, and I refused to meet his gaze.
He laughed again, and again, the world stood still. “Um... no I don't want you to be a ‘guy’ like me, I would never do this with a ‘guy’” he said, then he pulled me up in his arms and sat me on the bed. And before I could say anything father, he kissed me. Sure I had kissed heaps of other guys in my time, but this wasn’t any random hook up, this was me and Dimitri, my sexy, godlike, kickass Whelsh guy.
He push his body onto mine, forcing me to lie down. One of his hands slowly slide down my waste, underneath my back and pulled my chest into his. With his other hands he moved up my waste, and under my neck, still pushing me towards him. It was like... he couldn’t get enough of me, like I was the only thing on earth that he's ever wanted and now that he's got it, he needs more and more but it’s never enough.
We kissed like that for so long I lost count of minutes, I was to mesmerised in his touch, and the feel of his hands go under my top... but when he tried to talk off my undies I pulled away. I didn’t want to lose my virginity at this moment in time, I mean, Dimitri and I had only spent a couple of months together, I didn’t really know a whole lot about him.
But before I saw his response I was back in the present, and Dimitri was searching my eyes, looking for a sign, any sign that I was ok.
“Emma? Emma are you ok? Emma?” His voice heavy with worry.
“Um... yeah... I'm ok, I'm fine,” I smiled, then stud up so fast I didn’t realise I had moved.
“Hey, not so fast,” he says with a smile.
As I stud there I suddenly felt a slight sting on my left hand, I looked and looked and looked but I couldn’t decipher what it was, I knew it was a scar but... where did it come from. I looked up at Dimitri with a puzzled look on my face.
His smile widened as he walked over to where I stud, “it’s our scar, remember? I told you about them. When you become one of us, you get the privilege of having a... hmm... how would you put it? A... cool scar. Yep that's the word,” he said, taking my hand and kissing me on the cheek. He then looked back at me, “what's wrong, my dear?” and just at that moment my tummy rumbled, “ah, I see now, you’re hungry, aren’t you?” my face flushed scarlet red, and ducked my head in shame, “ it’s ok darling, its normal to want to eat after you’ve only just been changed.”
Chapter 2
He led me out of the apartment that we were staying in while in New Mexico, we had finished looking all through America, but still no sign of Talia.
Outside of our apartment, we went to the woods that were just over the road from us.
I heard my tummy rumble again and flush scarlet red.
“There is no reason to be ashamed that you are hungry, my dear. Even I get hungry after two or three days of mot eating,” he said while squeezing my head in his, as a human that would have hurt or even broken the bone but nothing, no pain, just... the sense that he's there, holding my hand and squeezing it hard enough that it would have broken but it didn’t.
Then suddenly, what he just said registered and I said, “Two or three days did you say?” I could hear the alarm in my voice.
But all he did was laugh. It was musical, enchanting, and powerful; I would have gone to the end of the earth and back to hear that laugh.
Unlike usual I didn’t have any problem with keeping up with him, normally I would be way back behind him, especially in a forest like this. Ok sure, I grow up in the country, in the bush, but ever since coming to the city I have lost everything that I gained and learnt throughout my childhood, so this normally would have been very difficult but I was finding it easy, maybe it was a part of the change or maybe the change has awaken the playful, friendly child in me. Well, I didn’t know but I'm now thinking that anything is possible.
Suddenly we stop and he turns to me and looks me straight in the eyes, “now, don't be upset if you don't get the whole gist of this on your first go, I know how you like to be the best,” he paused and lifts his head and sniffs the air, just as the most mouth watering, delightful smell floats softly through the air. I get the sudden erg to chase the feel and slaughter it, let the soft, soothing taste slide down my throat... but what was it, I had never smelt anything like it, I mean it was fantastic; no one has every smelt anything like this.
I felt a frantic need to sprint towards it but Dimitri had to go a grip of me and I couldn’t get away.
“Emma, calm yourself, we aren’t hunting that, we are hunting something much more mouth watering,” he says as his hand slid down from my shoulders back to my hands. Then he leads me the opposite way, away from the glorious sent.
“What are we hunting then?” I whisper, not sure if I really want to know that answer.
“humans.” One word and the world stopped, but not because I'm happy, but because I'm... horrified.
“What?!” I scream.
“Emma, don't worry, we’re not hunting anyone you could possibly know, we are going to hunt the homeless, that way it won’t be too hard for you, mostly they give up their lives anyway, they feel that the world would be better without them,” he wouldn’t look at me.
I couldn’t answer, I just looked at him in shock, and I knew he knew I was staring at him but he didn’t pay any attention. How could he eat someone? The thoughts wouldn’t stop coming. Has he done this while being with me these past months? How does he do it? When does he get away...? On and on they went.
Until he stopped and turned to me again. “Are you ready?” he asked, searching me eyes again.
“Um yeah... I think so...” I didn’t know if I was ready but my stomach wouldn’t shut up, it just carried on groaning and crying for me to eat.
“Just follow my lead...” he said as he crouched down and approached his unknowing, homeless victims.
So I did. This felt so wrong, but just as I was about to stop him a gust of wind sent the overweight mans scent over to me, and before I couldn’t stop myself I jumped on him and sunk my sharp teeth into his fatty neck. It was hard to get my teeth in far enough but when I did... my mouth filled with the wonderful tasting stuff (I refused to actually call it by its name). My mouth filled with its pleasure and when my mouth was full I swallowed and I nearly fell limp, but the thought of the wonderful taste leaving my mouth kept me from falling to the ground and rolling around in pleasure. I couldn’t hear any of the screaming around me but I knew it was there. I knew that no matter what, I was doing a bad thing, very bad. I was killing an innocent person. It doesn’t matter that he was homeless and had nothing to live for, I was killing him, and I was taking away his chance to turn his life around. And even worse was; I was a murderer.
I felt the man’s body start to go very limp in my arms and let him down slowly after taking my mouth away from his neck. I could still taste that fantastically mouth watering taste on my lips. But as I looked down at the dead man’s lifeless face and body, I feel a horrible pain in my stomach, it increased as I look around at all the people standing, steering at the monster that stood in front of them. I couldn’t believe what I had done. I would never forgive myself for eating (I cringed at the thought) a person that could of had a fantastic life, I didn’t know this man but I didn’t need to know that he was known by many, all the homeless people around looked devastated, a woman holding a baby and a child around the age of four ran over and sat beside him with tears streaming down their faces. The woman then looked up at me, hatred clear in her deep auburn coloured eyes, her hair was short and messy with leaves and dirt in it, she was dressed in a once long dress, cut and jagged at the end and a black cardigan, also cut and jagged at the bottom and the sleeves.
Suddenly she started shouting at me in another language, French I think it was. I felt a strong tug at my side and let Dimitri pull me away, back into the safe darkness.
“Why did you allow me to do that? I'm-I'm a murderer...” my mind wouldn’t allow me to process it very well, I just couldn’t get my head around it. I am a murderer. Keep going through and wouldn’t stop.
“It would have happened regardless, Emma. Stop beating yourself up about it.” I cringed at the cruelty in his voice; it was so harsh and strange coming from him...
I couldn’t say anything; I just steered at him with a puzzled look on my face that I couldn’t hide once out.
Once I found my tongue again I asked “where are we going now?” he looked at me from the side and I acted like I didn’t realize.
“We are going to see one of my friends. At the moment he lives in New Zealand, two small islands somewhere in the pacific.”
“Ok, well what's his name?” I asked, starting to become very curious to whom this guy was, and wait Dimitri has friends? I didn’t know that, I didn’t know that he knew anyone outside of...well us.
“He doesn’t stay with one name; he always changes his name so he won’t be tracked. But at the moment his name is Mathew.” He said, he seems to have calmed down from he's early... well I didn’t know what that was... was it rage? Or... I don't know, but he's seemed to have calmed down now.
“Does he have a last name?” hey actually, now that I think about it, I have never heard Dimitri’s last name, if he has a last name... there goes that laugh again. I loved that laugh, could live without it. I cringed at the thought of never hearing Dimitri's magical and mystical laugh ever again.
“We don't have last names any more, there not needed since we’re no longer apart of society any more. But some of us choose to live a proper life, like Mathew, but you and I? We don't have last names. Everyone we’ve ever known now thinks we’ve died or simple disappeared. Mathew has chosen to keep his really last name, Mathew Edward.”
I thought for a couple of minutes, then asked “so... what was your last name before you chose this life?” we were back at the apartment now, resent events forgotten. We went straight up stairs and started packing.
“Dibin, it’s a very old name. I hardly remember it.” I smile at the friendly and happy smile that spreads over his face as he remembers his past.
“Ok, well where does Dimitri come from, isn’t that Russian?” I asked.
“Yes, it is Russian. My mother was Russian while my father was Welsh. My mother was on holiday in the Wales when she met my father, and fell in love with him while he fell in love with her. She ended up moving to the Wales and having a happy family scene... up until...” he suddenly stopped, sorrow deep in his eyes as his past unfolds.
“Until?” I prompted. I decided that if he refused to tell me once then I wouldn’t push it.
He hesitated, “until the accident happened... well it wasn’t an accident, I can tell you that, but everyone thought it was so no one investigated, it was just left as is. There was no accident though, some one murdered my parents and left me orphaned all though I was old enough to leave home. You see, my father was a scientist. A very well known one at that. And when he got very close to inventing a time machine (although it was a preposterous hypothesis) , a very rich man tried to buy it off of him and when my father denied his request, the man sent others out to kill my father and the rest of my family. He succeeded in killing all of my family, and almost me, but Theodor found me dying and turned me over. When the rich man, Andreas Buel’s men came back, confirming that my father and the rest of his family had died in a horrible fire accident he went in search for my father’s notes but never found them, partly because he died soon after he killed my family and partly because all of my father’s notes got burnt in the fire and were never recovered.”
I waited for him to continue but he didn’t, so I asked “who's Theodor?” he looked at me, but he was really looking at me, he had this far away look in his eyes as we carried all of our stuff back to the car and started to drive to the airport.
“Oh...yes sorry, Theodor is Mathews real name, before he was changed.” And before I could process what he said, he handed me a passport. “Look after this; you will need it at the airport. And remember, your name is now Brooke Andorran.” He said as he turned into the airport parking lot. “Um... ok.” He found us a park, got out and started to get all our stuff out. “Wait, where does... Mathew was it?” he nodded, “well, where does he live again?”
“A little country called New Zealand. I studied some of their native culture, for a couple of years, I got bored. So don't worry, I have it covered. But if its anything like America...and any other country actually, they’ll be pretty similar to us and our modern culture.” He explained.
“Yeah, actually, I know of that country. Their native culture, or whatever is Maori right?” I said sudden realization all over my face.
“Yes, you are right. Do you know what New Zealand’s real name is?” we walked into the airport with our bags.
“Um... na I don't know that one.”
“Hold on for just one second. I’ll just go get our tickets and I’ll be right back, ok?” he said, and before I could answer ha was gone, walking gracefully with his giant strides. I couldn’t look away, I just stood there, looking very stupid, watching as he walked away in all his gorgeous glory, I found it hard to look away as a girl around my age came running up to me.
“Tammy? Tammy is that really you?” she asked, looking very frantic.
“Um... sorry, I'm not Tammy, my names Emma, Emma Thomas. Sorry to disappoint you. Could I help in anyway?” I ask, but she just shakes her head and looks away. “What’s your name?”
“Um... ahh... I'm Lilith, Lendra’s sister, you know Lendra don't you? Ha everyone knows Lendra.” She was still very frantic, looking everywhere.
“Ok. Lilith, you should go to the help desk. It’s just over there. Ask them if they can help you find um... Tammy was it? Well ask them, I'm sure they’ll help you.”
So she went, I watched her go and didn’t realize when Dimitri returned.
“Who was that?” he asked as his hand slipped around my waste.
“Um...her name is Lilith, but I don't actually know her. She’s just some random, talking strangely. She's looking for someone called Tammy, but I don't know, she’s probably crazy.” I just shrugged but Dimitri seemed to take it more seriously then I. “are you ok honey?” I asked but he just nodded and started to pull me away.
I suddenly remembered that we were at an airport and needed to get on a plan, I wonder when the plan leaves. I hope he got good seats.
“we’re leaving in one hour so we have hurry, and don't worry, I know how you like to have leg room, and to sit by to window, so I got you a window seat with extra leg room,” how does he do that? This was one of many times when he answers my thoughts without me specking them. “It’s because I can read some of your thoughts, not all though. Only the ones that are careless and free, the ones that you would have spoken, but I read and answered then first.” Hmm... Ok, I wonder if I can do that... I opened my mouth to ask but he cut me off, “yes. You will be able to read mine, but it takes years of practise, but once you have it, it’ll start to come easier in time and we have an endless amount of that,” he looked at me and gave me his perfect smile. My favourite smile. the one that I woke to this morning. The one that sits on the side of his face, kinda like a half smile. It’s very sexy. “You find me sexy?” he asked, and then I only just remembered that he can read my mind, well parts of it anyway.
I felt my face flush every shade of red possible. And then I heard his mesmerising laugh and my knees fell from under me. I almost hit the ground but he court me first, and then steadied me back on my own feet. “Um... yes. Who couldn’t? I mean, look at you. You’re too sexy to... I don't know, but you are really sexy.” And I'm so lucky to have him, but I didn’t say that, even though I knew he would have read that part but I didn’t care, I was lucky, and happy to admit it.
He laughed again and tightened his grip around my waste. “You will always have me. And you will always be mine,” he whispered into my ear, then brought his lips to mine and we stood there kissing, his hands cupping my face while my hands went around him into a light hug. But before the kiss became too intense a guard person, man thing walked over and asked us to keep going. Apparently there aren’t any PDAs in this airport.
Chapter 3
I didn’t know how long the flight took but it must have been a long flight since I woke with my face in a puddle of droll. I only wake in a puddle of droll when I've slept for a long time.
“Morning sleepy head. How was your sleep, love?” Dimitri asked from my left. He looked perfect, just as usual. He wore different clothes from when we first got on the plan though, his team Jacob from twilight t-shirt was replaced with a green t-shirt with some strange sgwiggaly thing. And his blue jeans swapped for black jeans. And when I looked down, I see that I've changed to. I was wearing a pink t-shirt with a purplely green dragon and now? I'm wearing a sun dress with flowers and leaves all over it. It’s strappy to, and shows a lot of cleavage.
Dimitri laughed as he watched me inspect our clothes. “I hope you don't mind but I changed your clothes for you. I didn’t think you would wake before we landed and I also thought that you would like to be in something clean when we get there. New Zealand is a very nice place, very clean and green.” He laughed at his poem joke thing, then turned to me and said, “So... how was your sleep dear?”
I just gave him a smile and said, “Yeah, it was great thanks babe,” then I turn away just as the seat belt light came on.
“Buckle up, love,” said Dimitri as he leans over to cheek my belt, which I didn’t like, he made me feel like a child, but I was nearly eighteen so I didn’t need a parent watching over my every steep. And as soon as I think it I immediately hope Dimitri didn’t read it out of my mind, but he didn’t pull away or flinch or anything so I think he didn’t, thank God.
After he finished cheeking and securing my belt he lent back and buckled his own.
Ten minutes later we were landing and leaving the plan. It was worm in New Zealand, not as worm as New Mexico but still very worm. We landed in Auckland. It wasn’t as crowded as America or any other place that I've been to.
“Where’s does Mathew life again?” I asked as we carry our stuff outside and sit to wait for his friend.
“Not far from here. He’ll be here soon to pick us up. Don't worry, love.” And just as he says it, a black BMW comes around the corner and Dimitri stood up, “come on then, here’s our ride, sweet heart.” He said then giving me a sweet smile and helping me with my bags.
The boot popped and a tall man with black hair and green eyes stepped out from the driver’s side of the car.
Dimitri quickly put the bags into the boot, then turned and opened his arms to the man.
“Oh Mathew, I have not see you in so long. How long has it been, friend? Like a century or so?” Dimitri wore the warmest smile that I have ever seen on him. They hugged and reunited for a couple of minutes before Dimitri remembered that I was still standing there. “This is Emma, my new... um...”
“Girl?” said Mathew, well I think that was Mathew but I wasn’t sure, “she seems a little young for you mate,” he continued. I was shocked at what he had said.
“Um... age is only a number friend. And when you love someone as much as I love her, then it makes no difference if she’s twice my age, or I'm twice her age. But do you know what I think, friend? I think you’re just jealous that I have a girl and you don't, and mine just happens to be very sexy.” My face went bright red as he said that, and even worse was when he looked at me and winked. I looked away, trying to hide my flushed face, instead I looked over at Mathew, just as he looked me up and down with a hungry look on his face.
“You are right there, Dimitri. She most certainly is sexy. But you are wrong about me not having anyone. I've meet this girl, well she's no longer a girl, she’s an elegant woman. And at least she's not still a virgin.” He gave me a knowing look and I felt disgusted, and a little shamed out.
“Enough. Emma, you must already know, but if you haven’t court on yet, this is Mathew. And now that you have both meet we can go.
So we all hop into the car, Dimitri sat at the back with me, while Mathew drove. It was a long drive, about forty five minutes from the airport.
But soon we were on a long stretch of a dirt road. We drove for about another ten, maybe fifteen minutes before we turned onto a road with tar seal on it and an elegant long fence that led to a large mansion like house, similar to the one that my grandparents lived it before they died and it got given to my mum’s sister, my aunt.
It had a large fence surrounding the whole thing, a huge gate that opened automatically at the sight of Mathew’s car. Mathew then parked and we all hoped out, I started to get my stuff out when Dimitri court my hand and stopped me.
“Mathew has maids that do that for you, you don't need to get them. They'll be put into your room later. Let’s go inside and have a look around,” he said as his hand slid off of my arm and around my waste.
As we walk inside I'm blown away as the elegant and huge structure of the house unfolds in fount of me, a vast stair case leading to a labyrinth of rooms, a huge opening, and lino floors with a table in the middle of the room with a large vase with exotic flowers and there were chandeliers and... and...
I nearly fainted with how vast and grand the house was.
“Em, are you ok, love?” called Dimitri from a couple of feet away were he stood with Mathew, examining me carefully. “you look as if you are about to faint, my love. Would you like to have a seat? Come on over here and sit with me,” he then came over and took my hand and lead me to the large lather couch that sat it the corner. “It is very exotic isn’t it?” he asked as his hand slide down from mine to the tip of my knee, and then slowly back up... “Yeah, how does he afford it?” I whisper in to his ear.
“He works, Emma. You did not think we all do as we do, did you?” he laughed and I actually did faint...
only for a couple of seconds though. Dimitri court me before I feel on to the floor. “Emma? Emma? Are you ok, my dear? Emma?”
I look up to the voice but its Mathew and not Dimitri who court me. I look down and Mathews hand is on my left boob. I quickly move away, almost fumbling out of his arms and onto the floor. But Dimitri opens his arms and I fumble into his instead.
“Emma? What happened? Are you ok, honey?” he asked and I only nod in response. My face flushed bright red again at the stupidity of fainting because I heard Dimitri's laugh.
Seriously, who faints at the sound of their boyfriends laugh? Me, that's who, stupid little me. With my brown hair and my now orange eyes, (it comes with the change, our eyes change with the colour of our aura) my slightly tanned skin and nicely curved body, I'm slightly on the tubby side but that doesn’t concern Dimitri. He loves me unconditionally. There is nothing that will separate us, nothing that will come between us. I'm quite tall too. Not that tall, but still tall. My hair is curly and comes down to the tips of my boobs. I have a C cup, and I'm size twelve in New Zealand. So I'm pretty... ish.
“Emma, are you ok, my sweet?” asked Dimitri, as he eases me on to his knees. I rest my head in his rock hard, and warm chest. “I think I should take her up to bed. You did organise that we shear a room, didn’t you?” Dimitri wasn’t talking to me anymore. I think he was talking to Mathew but I wasn’t sure, I was too tired to open my eyes.
“Damn. I forgot. Sorry mate. I could organise that but it will take at least one night. You can share a room tomorrow night, okay?” that was definitely Mathew, I could tell.
“Fine. I’ll take her to bed now.” I could hear Dimitri's distress with the room problem. He was angry and I hated when he got angry. “Come on. Let’s get you to bed.” He helped me off of his knee and then put his arm around my waste and led me up stairs.
The stairs seemed to just keep going, a never ending spiral. But eventually we got to the top. And as I had said down stairs. It was a labyrinth of room. It also seemed to never end. It just kept going on and on.
Dimitri led me to the third door along. The door was huge and very fancy. I didn’t feel worthy to even touch the door handle let alone go inside. But once Dimitri had opened the door I fainted again.
This time it lasted about ten minutes. After the first like two minute Dimitri was getting really worried and once five came around, he was hyperventilating.
I opened my eyes to a large exotic room. I was I'm a double canopy bed. Huge windows with huge velvet drapes. Famous paintings framed the walls, Van Gogh, Picasso, De Vinci, all the well known famous people of the past. But while in was researching my surroundings I didn’t see that I had visitors.
They were all standing in a line around my bed. There was about five of them, and I did know any of them.
“Hello I'm sorry, but do I know any of you’s?” I asked as I sat up in the huge canopy bed that I was in.
A little gipsy woman then took a step forward, like they were in the army or something. “I am Aisha Malia. And we are all like you Emma. We are all vampires.”
I looked into her eyes to see if she was telling the truth. And she was her aura was a perfect white, perfect balance. And to top it off, she was gorgeous, absolutely stunning. She had long brown wavy hair that came to about the top of her hips. She had a slender body, and she wore a long skirt with sequins’ on it forming a huge flower. She also wore a purple singlet top and loads of jewellery.
“Emma? We have come to warn you... we are vampires but we are the good ones, we are the daughters and sons of Athena, but you Dimitri and Mathew? You are the bad vampires; there are two names for you three, Penanggalan or the sons’ and daughters of Dragamir. Emma, you cannot trust Dimitri, he is evil and has turned you evil as well but if you do as we say you will for fill your destiny and save the world, but if you do not and you stay with Dimitri, you will kill all vampires. You have the power to save or destroy the world... choose wisely young one.”
“What the hell are you on about? This is so cheesy... it’s not even funny,” I said trying to get out of bed.
“Emma, this is no laughing matter,” said one of the youngest of the five, steeping forward just as Aisha had, it was a boy this time though. “Emma, you must do as we say. If you don't, it will spell disaster for everyone, not only vampires but humans as well.”
“Umm... look; I have no idea what the hell you guys are all talking about. And Dimitri? Is not what so ever evil. How could you say that?” I said as I walked around to the bathroom.
“Emma please, you must trust us. We are not here to hurt you” but just as he finished his sentence he vanished with the rest of them, and then a few seconds later Dimitri stepped through the door.
“I thought you were awake. Who were you talking to?” he asked as he walked over to me and pulled me up into his arms. “You know what? It doesn’t matter. Now, let’s go to bed.”
“But I only just woke up?” I said but he was already pulling me towards the bed.
“I don't want to sleep,” and before I could protest he kissed me. It was such an intense kiss. It was full with longing and heat and love and loads more things that I couldn’t name.
He was the one to break it off, because he needed to pull me onto the bed and get on top of me. Then he kissed me again and it was full of the same things. One of his ands was behind my neck pulling me closer, the other was sliding slowly down the side of me to the bottom of my top, and then it slid under and back up. His fingers playing with the wire on the bra.
I end up finding myself pulling his top off. His chest was so hard and curved into perfect muscles.
He pulled my top off and kept kissing me.
This is it, I thought to myself. This is the day I lose my virginity. Oh my gosh. And better still, to the hottest nicest most gorgeous guy alive... although we are no longer alive.
But as soon as I thought it the door opened and Mathew stepped through.
“Nice, mate. Nice.”
Dimitri got off of me and re-buckled his pants.
“Oh no. Don't stop on my account. I should have brought some popcorn,”
“what are you doing in here Mathew?” Dimitri looked really pissed off. Sounded really pissed off too actually.
“I just came up to cheek on our patient and my visitor. Is there something wrong with that?”
“No but as you can see, we were a little busy so you should have knocked.” He was still pissed, but he was cooling down a little. He came over to me and picked up his top... then I suddenly realise I still didn’t have a top on, I was wearing a fancy black bra and my under wear. So I quickly go under the covers hoping that Mathew didn’t see.
“Don’t worry little lady, I saw and it was a very nice view.” He gave me a flirtatious smile , which sent creepy crawlies down my spine.
“Would you give us some room please?” Dimitri was getting very angry again, I could see it in his eyes. Mathew must have seen it to because he started to back off.
“Sure thing, mate. Carry on as you were.” Then he turned and left without anything more.
We were alone again.
“I need some air,” Dimitri said as he put on a jersey, “you can come if you want.” Then he turned and went to the dresser, opened it and got me some clothes. I took that as tough he wanted me to come.
He chose a short dress with no sleeves and was low cut. So I quickly put it on over what I was already wearing . He looked me up and down then took my hand and showed me the way out to the very huge garden out the back.
It was glorious, with exotic plants you would only find in the most remote places . Tree stood so high up you would see the sky tower (one of New Zealand’s land marks). The flowers were huge and colour full, they were so huge you could sleep in one like you were a fairy.
Dimitri just stood there and let me take it all in.
“Do you see what I see?!” I asked as I pulled my eyes from the glorious sight to Dimitri watching me.
“Um... no, I don't. This is a one of the last magical gardens. It shows you the most glorious things you could ever imagine. So you would see something much different to me.” He never took his eyes away from me. Not for one second.
“Well... what do you see then?” I asked. This was so strange, I thought he was joking.
“This is no joke my sweet. You want to know what I see?” I nodded. “Well then let me show you.” He said, and then he came down to my level and looked me square in the eyes. But after like three seconds everything went blank and then a picture of a small cottage came into view. Dimitri was there sitting on the deck in a rocking chair.
Suddenly the door swung open and I stood out. I was wearing a pretty sun dress with my hair long straight and down around my shoulders. When I came out I went and sat beside Dimitri, soon after that two little children came out. Running and screaming in playful laughter. There was a little girl, she looked to be around the age of five, and she was gorgeous, blue eyes and long blonde hair that fell into perfect ringlets. She was perfect, running around in her pretty little dress and her ringlets falling around her perfect face.
There was also a boy. He was around the age of two. He was also just as perfect as the little girl. But he had brown hair, around the same shade a Dimitri's. And his eyes were gorgeous, A light brown with hazel.
Just as I was getting into the beautiful picture, it vanished before my eyes.
“Oh no! Where’d it go?” I shouted.
“Don’t worry my love. It’s a vision. It will come back. And if not, that means it will come true.” He said. Grabbing me in his arms.
“What does that mean? Who were those kids?” My voice was frantic now. My eyes searching his face for the answers.
“Those are our kids, sweet heart. Those are our children. Her name will be Lea Renee. And the boys name will be Isaac.” He said with a smile wide across his face.
“Really? You want to have children with me?”
“Of course I do. How could you ask me that? I have officially fallen in love with you, and when that happens there's no going back. I don't want to go back. I count myself as the luckiest man that's ever lived.”
My face was blushed bright red and he laughed. Then once again he pulled me into his arms and then, hand in hand, went carried on walking.
