I wake up in the same room as before. Although this time it's not to someone hitting me in the side demanding I open my eyes at once. Instead, there's an arm wrapped tightly around my bare waist. A quick glance down tell me I'm not naked, that the oversized shirt I wore to bed has just ridden up. I attempt to turn my head to see who's beside, surely Mr. Masters wouldn't want to cuddle with me like this, but am unable to identify the person. His face is buried in my neck, and although I can't feel his breath, I am sure he's inhaling my scent.
"Well this is sure a sight I never expected to see."
I jump, startled by the sudden stranger standing at the foot of the bed.
Mr. Masters mumbles something and pulls me closer to him, pressing me into his chest.
"Who are you?" I ask, not all that frightened anymore. It’ll take a lot to frighten me now that I'm dead. Well, Undead.
The stranger laughs. "Of course you wouldn't know me, darling. But you're in bed with my mate. And I'm not so sure I like you touching him."
"Technically he's touching me. And he made me sleep here." I shrug. "Fighting him won't get me answers."
She tilts her head to the side, smirking. That's when I notice how similar we look. Actually, minus the black hair, she could be my identical twin. How... odd. Is this what he meant by I "look just like her"?
"I believe it was, my dear. Now tell me, who are you? And why are you here with my Aiden?"
She can read my mind? Cool. I wonder if I can read minds.."I'm Anastasia Blut. I'm Mr. Masters' student. Im here because I went clubbing with my bestie's bf and got bit by this asshole. The next day I turned and he took me hunting last night after I woke up. I’m not sure how I got here exactly, I think I feel asleep after feeding.."
Her smirk fades. "He turned you? Impossible. A human hasn't been successfully turned in almost 5 centuries."
Mr. Masters groans beside me. "That better be my Anastasia talking to herself, and not you, Elizabeth."
She freezes, any signs of hospitality gone from her features.
She looks at me. "You little tramp! How dare you take my Adrian from me!"
I shrink away from her, maybe I can be frightened...
Mr. Masters sits up and glances at me briefly before appearing in front of Elizabeth.
"Relax, Elizabethia. I was only joking."
She growls.
"Who is she Ady?' She's pouting at him now. I groan. Great. Not only have I been thrown into a world where vampires, and god knows what else, actually exist, but I have to deal with a jealous girlfriend. I climb off the bed, letting out a yawn. Who knew Vampires need sleep?
"She's my protégé. I accidentally turned her."
"She looks just like me, Ady. Are you trying to replace me?" It's almost embarrassing watching her bat her eyes at him and look all innocent.
"Her looks are purely coincidental, I swear." She pulls him into her arms, I look away. Im not sure why, but seeing him in another woman’s arms infuriates me.
I brush past them and head towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Mr. Masters asks me.
I touch the doorknob. "To take a shower. Wanna join me, Ady?" I hear a growl and suddenly time slows down. I turn around in normal speed as Elizabeth is lunging at me in slow motion. Instead of sidestepping her, like I probably should, I grip her outstretched claw and flip her over me, making her hit the top of the doorframe hard and go through the door. Time speeds back up as I release her hand. Woah. Talk about the matrix. I look at Aiden, hoping he'll know what happened. His expression is blank, like always, but I think I see surprise flicker through his eyes briefly. I turn and look at the shocked Vampiress on the floor.
"How did you do that?" She asks, awe in her voice.
I shrug. "All this is new to me." I step over her and head to the bathroom, praying to god I don't rip the door off its hinges again.
A hand stops me from closing the door. I look up to see Mr. Masters. He brushes past me and into the bathroom, I watch him, curious. What is he doing?
After watching him walk from the doorway, to the toilet on the far side of the room and back I realise he’s pacing. I move to stand in his way, but he just walks around me. I grab his arm. He attempts to pull away, but fails. His eyes meet mine and I’m surprised to see they’re not glowing. Usually they start to glow when I initiate contact with him.
“Why are you pacing?” I ask him. He shakes his head.
She can hear. Speak through our bond.
We have a bond?
I am your Maker. We share that bond.
Oh. Why are you pacing, sir?
It’s that woman. I can’t stand her.
That’s odd.. She called him her mate. That generally requires equal feelings on both parts.
She considers me her mate. At one time, I thought she was mine.. but she’s not.
Oh. Well, she seemed pretty possessive. Can you not get rid of her?
He shakes his head. She's too insistent. I’ve tried everything. Who would have guessed, the mean Mr. Masters has a stalker problem.
Really? Want me to help?
You want to help me? After I've been nothing but an ass to you?
I shrug. I'm a nice person, sir.
How do you plan on helping?
Before I agree to help, I want you to promise to answer my questions once she's gone. Okay?
He nods.
Okay. We'll get rid of her by pretending you have a new girl. Although it’ll have to be someone who can take her.. from what I saw out there she'll get violent.
She's an Elder. Few are stronger than her. That's why she was surprised when you moved faster than her.
"Well I guess that leaves one option, hon. We make it official about us."
He stares at me for a second then nods. "Okay."
You'll have to get a little physical with me if we want her to believe us.
I tilt my head to the side. I didn't really think about that. A little touching and kissing never hurt anyone, right?
All the acting will be on you. She knows me as an unemotional creature.
But wouldn't it be more convincing if you show some emotion towards me? It’d prove to her its real if I get what she never did.
He thinks a bit, then nods. "Come here." I do as he says and step into his open arms. He pulls me close, then surprises me by gripping my hair and pulling my head back, exposing my neck.
"Don't move." He commands before leaning forwards and sinking his teeth in my neck. I gasp at the sharp pain, but relax into his arms as a warm feeling spreads throughout my body. The warmth slowly starts to gain heat and I find myself moaning, pressing myself to him. He grunts and pulls away, not even bothering with closing the wound, it’ll heal itself. A hand on the back of my head pushes me forward, pressing my face into his neck. "Bite." What? He wants me to bite him? I breath in through my nose, taking in his scent. Without thinking about it much, I open my mouth and sink my teeth into him. He grunts, but is otherwise silent. I moan when his blood hits my tongue. He tastes.. delicious. His hands moves from holding my head to him to holding me firmly against him. I continue swallowing mouthfuls of his blood, revelling in the unfamiliar rush. His arms tighten, and I hear him moan. I freeze. He’s Mr. Masters, he’s not supposed to show any reactions. I start to pull away, but he stops me.
“Keep going.” I obey, unable to hold back the shudder as his hands travel down my back and to my bottom. He tugs on my leg and I jump up to wrap both around him. He takes a few steps and I feel my back hit something hard. A tug of my hair rips me from his neck and I meet his eyes, licking my lips. He growls and smashes his lips to mine. In the few seconds it takes me to get over my surprise one of his hands has gone under my shirt. Just as I start to kiss him back, he's ripped from my arms. I easily stop myself from falling on my ass and blink a few times.
"You told me she wasn't my replacement!" Elizabeth screeches. She has her arms around Mr. Masters and is glaring at me.
Mr. Masters attempts to break free but is unable. I smile and step closer. I wrap my fingers around her wrist and pull. Mr. Masters escapes as Elizabeth screams in pain from her broken wrist.
"From what I was told, there's no replacing happening." Time slows down again as she lunges at me. I consider just stepping aside, but Mr. Masters is right behind me. I let her get within inches of clawing my face before knocking her outstretched arm aside and hitting my palm to the center of her chest. She crumples to the floor almost instantly. She appears to be unconscious. Time speeds up as I feel arms encircle my waist.
"She'll be out for hours after that." If she's unable to see, why is he being all touchy? I pull away and step over the Vampiress.
"Time for my questions?"
He nods and pushes past me. I follow him to a room I haven't been in yet. It's a living room with a couch, a recliner chair and a TV. I sit down on the couch as he sits in the chair.
"Before you start asking questions, I'm going to tell you a brief history.
"Vampyres, with a y, have been around longer than humans. They're born, not created, and tend to live longer than the Turned. I was born, but several centuries after humans came around.
"Before we had humans to feed from, we'd feed from each other. Now biting another Vampyre, of either kind, is considered an intimate act.
"When humans first came around, Turned Vampires came into existence. Vampyres weren't killing their prey, and at that time, the venom from a single bite would turn the human.
"Eventually it became common practice to fully drain their victims. Thus cutting back the amount of Vampires Turned.
"After several thousand years, it was discovered that humans could no longer be turned. That's why Elizabeth was surprised to learn you were Turned. And before you ask, no. I do not know why you did." He looks at me expectantly.
"Why did you bite me? There were a lot of people at the club."
He shrugs. "I just couldn't resist you. I followed you home, then to the club. Your blood smelled, still smells, very...intoxicating."
I tilt my head to the side. "Technically it's not my blood anymore."
"No, but once it's running through your veins it takes on your scent and taste."
"How come my hair and eyes changed colors?"
"Eyes change to the color of the Maker's. I'm not sure about your hair. You're... different. As a Newborn, it's understandable why you're so strong, but not how you moved so fast. Nor how you instinctively knew to hit Elizabeth in the chest."
Great, so I'm a freak in the Vampire world.
"What about school? My family?"
"At the moment you're parents are out of town, they were given the message that you went to the hospital, but will be fine in a few days. The school, and your friends also think that you're in the hospital. You'll go back to school in a few days, once I'm certain you won't attack anyone. Since you're 18, you'll
