Posting my AO3 work 'The Start of an Unwanted Forever' on here
I quietly sat by the window, pulling the robe tight around myself as I studied the stars. I looked back down at my book, an old, carefully preserved copy of 'The Illiad', detailing the heroes took Death's gentle hand, when someone suddenly grabbed me from behind.
He pulled me to his chest, and bit into my neck without warning, causing me to gasp in pain.
"V-Vlad, what-" I stuttered, turning to look at him. His eyes were blood red.
The kind of red that meant they went too long without feeding and succumbed to bloodlust.
He was going to drain me dry.
I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stay calm as I became dizzy, and eventually lost consciousness, smiling to myself.
I awoke with the irony taste of blood in my mouth, and opened my eyes to see Vlad holding me, forcing his bleeding wrist to my mouth. I immediately started coughing, trying to force the blood out.
"What did you do!?" I yelled, scrambling away from him, and tried to breathe.
Vlad grabbed my wrists, pulling me back to him.
"I was not going to let death take you, little bird." He said, so calmly, so casually.
"Y-you turned me into a monster!" I yelled, tears welling up in my eyes.
"I saved your life." He said, his eyes darkening.
"WELL MAYBE I WANTED TO DIE!" I screamed, pushing him away.
Vlad was pushed back a little.
No no no no no nononononononononoNO!
I curled up into a ball, crying.
"I didn't want this." I whispered. Vlad moved closer to me, taking my face into his hands and forcing me to look up.
"You are mine, Kael." He whispered, then leaned in, kissing me. I pulled away, shaking my head.
"J-just get out." I whispered, squeezing my eyes shut, knowing he wouldn't listen.
There was silence, and then I heard the mattress creak, and the sound of the door opening.
"I'll... send a thrall up with some blood. Animal or human?" He quietly said, though I could still hear him.
"Animal, then." He said, then I heard the door close. I lied down on my bed, and grabbed a pillow, burying my face into it, and started sobbing.
