4. Into the bitting room

We walk behind the curtain and I feel my legs starting to shake and my heart pumping in fear. Why is he doing this? I don't want to die here.

Xandros is still walking with me in the hallway where there are all rooms on the left side, some had curtains closed and some you could watch them sucking the human's blood.

Xander takes me into one of these rooms and puts me on the red velvet couch that takes half of the room in. He walks to the window and closes the curtain.

"Xandros, why are there even windows. Why did you take me here?" I asked with an unsteady voice. My body starts to shake from fear. What I can't hide anymore.

He sits next to me and lets me look into his eyes, where I feel he is doing something to me. Like he is enchanting me with just his stare. He takes my hand and starts to speak in a low voice.

"These windows are for the ones that would watch. I don't know if you remember when I first bite you? The feeling you were getting is what all the humans get addicted to, and sometimes it happens that the vampire has sex with them. That's what they are looking at, how the humans enjoying being bitten." And he turns back to the curtain and opens it, where there are a lot of vampires already starring. There is starting a scary feeling creeping up on me. Finding out what he is going to do.

I feel so exposed and uncomfortable with this situation, not only to get bitten but also the feeling he gives me. I don't want to have sex with him, I don't even like him! He comes back to me and I know it's going to happen again. I can't do anything about it.

Before he put his fangs into my neck, he looked even apologetic to me. It could be me that imagine it. Feeling a little released that he bite me and not that barbarian, of a brother of him.

Letting my head fall back on the couch behind me, feeling the excitement pumping in my veins again. I groan, feeling him watching me. I don't even care anymore about the vampires watching from the window. Then he quickly looks away. It was as if he caught his own doing something he shouldn't.

I feel my body shake in desire, and I am scared of myself. I never had been this turned on. My body takes it over from me. I am in some kind of trance, and he is even surprised I am touching him. Touching his face, looking deeply into his eyes as he bites me, continues to stare at each other. Not knowing what I am doing. But before he stops, I look at myself into the window, and I'm shocked to see in the reflection how my eyes are even more orange of color and my skin has turned all red.

Xandros is taking his handkerchief and wiping my blood off his mouth. What I had felt before was now all gone, and I am looking angry at him. How could he! That, with all these audiences. I felt used and broken by his bloodsucking on me.

†......†......†........†........†

When we are back in the car, I am happy to be gone from this awful party. He even gets applause from the vampires after he had bitten me. What is he a sort of god to them?

After a drive of almost an hour, we are back into the castle lane where we step out, and made me stop into the main entrance hall of the castle, turned his face to me:

"You did great. We will be invited to a lot of these parties, do get used to it. That makes it more pleasant for both of us." What an ass. I storm to my room, not even giving him another look before I step into the room. I know he could see me from downstairs because my room is laying just after you take the big staircase upside.

In my room, I take a shower, to wash his touch off me. When I step out of the shower and look in the mirror, I see the two-bite wounds in my flesh. I take a hand wash glove and start scrubbing the wounds. It bleeds a little after I scrub my neck hard to get rid of the memory of him and his touch.

As I walk out of the bathroom, I see Xandros sitting on the chair that is standing in my little seating area. With my hand going to my neck I look at him, scared, mad, and annoyed he dared again to come and do what he wanted to do, and I can't do anything about it.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him while I tie my robe tighter around me. Not wanting him to see me naked under the bathrobe. He knew it and was uncomfortable with it too.

"I was wondering if you are hurt," Stepping closer to me, taking my head to see my neck. He suddenly licks at my wounds and when I feel at the wounds that there were before, they are now gone. Scared, I step backward, away from him.

He comes again closer to me till he is suddenly gone. Me, still standing in the middle of the room, feeling my neck. Relieved, he is gone and no longer with me in the room.

As I step downstairs to go look around the castle, I hear Xandros talking to his pet. They are whispering for a moment till I hear them talking to each other:

"You know that the Ecliptics are going to be next week? We had to do a lot of preparation, and now we are almost ready."

Where are they talking about? Ecliptics? I had heard of an Eclipse that would happen next week, but what are they planning to do. This can't be good.

"Grimor, It's harder than thought to marry and be so cruel to let them play. At another wife, I had always had fun, but now my own had to participate, It's difficult."

I hear his pet mumble something until he speaks more clearly like he wanted me to hear. If he knew I was listening.

"It's the blood that is talking to you, let it go and have some fun. Eat some more, have intercourse. Do what you please, sire, but you can't back out on this."

What intercourse? Never! I step quickly aside when I hear footsteps coming my way. Scared, I try to hide, but I was too late.

"Cara, what are you doing here?"

He is looking at me, wondering what I had heard.

"My name isn't Cara! I was looking around the castle." Quickly, I try to defend myself. All did, I saw it in his eyes that he didn't believe me.

He looks suspicious, but goes with me to the dining room. He sits at the head of the table, and I'm sitting next to him on his left side. As I looked at him, he almost looked ill. He didn't eat that night, only looked at me.

"Are you sick?" I ask him, not that I care for him. And why do I ask him this, he is a vampire, he can't die! But I am afraid if there is something and I got in another vampire's hands, what they are going to do with me. Xandros I know, I think I know that he will not kill me, but I can't be sure.

Now that I look at him closely, his eyes look a little glassy and his skin tone is also starting to take on a more grayish tone. He is now looking more like a vampire. And that made me scared as hell.

"You will find out inventively. I have a blood disease, all from before I was a vampire. I thought if I turn it would be over, but it stayed the same. If I didn't turn, I would be dead by now."

He looked almost scared to think back to that time he was so sick. I was almost sorry for him. But I know they can say and let me believe anything with their powers.

"I have to tell you something else."

Is he going to tell what I have to participate in and what is so bad about it, on his words to hear on that conversation with his pet, is it something I will not like.

"I was a cruel vampire for years. I took what I wanted, and the games made me feel alive. But after so many years to be alone and only being cruel and killing people, it made me bored out." Xandros explained to me. What made me feel not better, but even more afraid of what he is and how wrong I judged him.

The word he said: "It made me bored," Made my bloodstream stop out of fear. He was bored by killing people, What is this for kind of man? Why am I still thinking of him like a man! He is a freaking vampire who bites me not once but two times. What if he gets bored again and kills me like I am some kind of meat bag.

"I choose you not only for your looks, but also for your blood." He said next, but don't make me feel great or even believe he really needs me.

"You require my blood, why? There are so many humans with blood." I ask him, with my eyes on my plate, to not have to look at him. I pushed the plate away. My hunger was over with all that talking about blood.

"Your blood type is unique."

His eyes started to turn reddish with a yellowish shine. And I feel he is going to bite me. When is this nightmare going to be over?
