Get off my back

[Lilthea Rose Rainmorn]

As usual the day starts and everything is blinding. It wasn't always like this. The strong smells, blinding lights, and being able to listen to the conversations down the hall. Everything was heightened and all thanks to a chance encounter with a Vampire. What was the world coming too when fantasy creatures walked among you? Starting off the routine, close the drapes, make a call to the Kiersted's house, take a shower, and wait. That's all Lilthea would do in the mornings. Hehe, that's all she could do.

After her shower and drying her shoulder length red hair. She went to her closet and found some blue jean shorts, one of her comfy yellow t-shirts, and she slipped on some flip flops. Hanging the wet towel up in the bathroom after she got dressed. She then went into her living room where she turned on the news and started to drag a brush through her hair. Lilthea was trying to keep her mind off all the pulsating blood in her building while she waited for her babysitting to bring a donor over for her to feed on.

Kiersted's usual wanted their clan members to stay in the same home. Where they could keep an eye on young Vampires and rule your life. Well, that's how Lilthea felt anyway. Actually, the Kiersted's believe in family and liked to keep each other close in case something happened. Which I guess was smart, for the dark ages. Lilthea had to beg and plead to get the Kiersted's and the Council to let her keep her apartment. The deal was, she would spend half the time at her apartment and the rest of the time at the Kiersted's household. Oh, she also had to beg them to let her keep her job at the night club. She didn't want the bank account that came with being part of the Kiersted's.

While watching one of those health segments on the television. She heard a car pulled up outside of her building. There was one person who didn't make a sound even though two car doors closed almost at the same time. He was here to feed her. 'About time!', she said loudly knowing that he would hear her. They had made their way upstairs to her apartment and before he could knock Lilthea said, "Unlocked". As if the guy with her happy meal was right by her. He opened the door and let a black haired woman about in her forties walk into the room first. He closed the door behind the food bag and moved quickly to sit on the sofa.

Lilthea dropped her brush and was on the woman before she could even make her way to the chair to sit down. She hated this, but the warm blood that now gushed into her mouth was wonderful. Lilthea could feel her itchy throat become less and less irritated by every drop she took from the woman she now held in her arms.

He crossed his legs as he sat there on the sofa. This young vampire was eager to feed, always. It reminded him of another young vampire that was no longer with their family. The one that turned this girl now in front of him. He looked around the room and wondered why she insisted to live on her own. This place was dismal at best. Not like the home where the rest of the Kiersted family lived. He threw his right arm on the the back on the couch and looked at the feeding girl. "Enough! Want to kill her?", his voice was sharp and forward. He meant what he said and if she didn't stop feeding. He would make her easy enough. "Why do you continue to live here?", he knew the question had been asked many times before, but he still didn't believe her answer.

After this meal. He would have to go to the night club and bring her another. He hated to be at this one new born's beckon call. However, it was what the leader of the Kiersted house hold wished him to do. He knew he had patience with young vampires. But, it wasn't because he wanted too or that he wished to welcome them into the house. No, it was because he knew that if he did not. He would be made too anyway. 

((sorry. pressed for time. next post will be better.))

Hearing Artemis's voice brought her back from her own thoughts and the gushing blood that was flowing down her throat. She moved her arms that were holding the woman up and watched as her body went limp. Lilthea looked at Artemis, "You know why, so stop asking the stupid question. Or, do you just like hearing yourself". She gave him a go to hell look and disappeared into her room. She had to get dressed for the night club. She would continue to live her own way and try to be normal. She was not living in a house full of vampires that hardly knew her and just wanted to use her. She was going to cling to her former life even if it meant fighting for it.

She came back into the living room after changing into some hip hugger blue jeans, a blue tank top, and some sneakers. Her red hair was up in a pony tail and he had put some black eye shadow on as well as some lip gloss. She grabbed her keys and looked at Artemis. "Well, I have work in two hours. Out.", she knew she didn't answer his question about wanting to kill the woman. But, it was hard for her to admit such a thing. A couple of years ago she was human and now she was a monster. Now every fiber in her body screamed kill and she was trying very hard to fight back. Something told her that she would kill eventually and she wasn't looking forward too it.

Lilthea was waiting for lazy bones to get up, but he was tending to the feed bags wounds. She didn't understand why they couldn't use blood bags instead of people. It would be less mess and she wouldn't have to breathe in the sweet smell of blood being pumped through this womans' body. She sighed as she stood by the door waiting. Artemis could be so weird at times, or was this his way of annoying her? Either way, he and the blood bag were going out the door one way or another. Though, throwing Artemis out her door might come back and bite her in the ass later. She sighed and gave Artemis another go to hell look. Why couldn't she have someone else watch her for her first hundred years. She already wanted to rip his throat out and feed him to the nearest dogs. She was going to have to pace herself.

When Lilthea was done with her blood rush coma. Artemis caught the woman that Lilthea let drop to the floor. He wondered if she was like this as a human. She seemed as if she didn't care for other people. Then again, she was a predator now. So, her ability to not feel might be because of the change. He didn't know for sure when it came to her. He swept up the human who was unconscious and placed her on Lilthea's sofa. He looked at Lilthea and saw how she wanted him gone way before her words reached his ears.

He looked back at the human on the sofa and took her pulse. It was a bit weak, but she would recover. "You need to listen to the preys heart beat, or take their pulse when you feed. You don't want to bodies about, do you?" He knew the mood Lilthea and the words he just spoke would get her blood boiling. "As for you human job. I could careless if you make it in time or not." He looked back at Lilthea and stood with a commanding presence. "This notion of you clinging to your pathetic human life will come to a stop. You need to learn our ways for your survival and your new clan."

The human on the sofa started to cough and Artemis looked back at her. Color was coming back to her face which was a good sign. He turned to Lilthea not knowing what lashing he was going to get. Though, a fight with a human be side them would not bode well. He was ready to deflect her attack and put Lilthea in a hold for the human's sake. But, Lilthea's anger needed to come to the surface sooner whether than later.
