I jerked awake. The room came into focus one slow blink at a time. Hovering above my face was Eddie, fangs bared, eyes glowing red, but that wasn't what twisted my stomach. A long drop of blood trickled down his wrist, which he held over my mouth. I already tasted something on my lips, like blood, but sweeter.
Eddie's worried gaze came into focus next. "I have to give you more, Sunshine. It's this or the hospital. You're bleeding too much, and your slayer healing isn't kicking in fast enough."
That was his blood I tasted. Vampire blood. I didn't know the exact consequences for a slayer to drink vamp blood, but I didn't exactly have time for a trip to Eddie's library to find out.
"Vampire..." I breathed.
He shook his head, able to read my doubts from that one simple word. "You're the slayer. It takes a lot more than vampire blood to turn you into one of us."
