Introduction

Image

On a small island in Italy, five vampires rule alongside one another. In their past years they have managed to slaughter every remaining human on their Isle, not including the ones that managed to slip away. But now, they have changed. After five years of starving, they are starting over. Each one has traveled to the mainland and picked a human of their choice and are bringing them back to their Isle. The third oldest vampire is a man, if you could call him that, named Gale. His human, Kat, is the exact opposite of himself. Gale is cold, harsh, uncaring. Or is that only whom he pretends to be? As Gale and Kat open up to each other, they begin to discover these pesky little things called feelings.

Castle doors are locked at all times. There is no escaping, unless a vampire lets you out. Vampires do not sparkle or burn in the sunlight, but they are considerably weaker in it, only holding a bit more strength over a regular human. They can see fairly well in the dark, move faster and are stronger than humans, and have been alive since the 1600's.

Kat continued to wander the halls. No one seemed to be around, or at least no one was acknowledging her. Though as she was about to turn and go back to her room, she heard a noise behind her. Eyes widening, she turned, but was suddenly thrown towards and pinned against a wall. "Did your vampire forget to explain the rules?" She heard a low chuckle, and shivered as his lips brushed her ear. This was so different then what had happened with Gale, this scared her. "The dogs aren't allowed out unless they're on a leash." Kat trembled, a bit of anger igniting in her as he compared humans to dogs. But realization his as she realized, they were like animals to these beasts. Simply here to be their food, and perhaps pet if that was what they desired. Suddenly he let go, and she dropped to the floor as he laughed again. "Pathetic."

She heard his footsteps fade. Pulling her knees up to her chest, she buried her face in her hands and stayed there, shaking. Where was Gale?

Gale exited the room, looking for Kat. Could she have gone to the library? No, her book was still on the bed. Gale thought he heard footsteps and tried to go where he heard them. "Kat?" Gale shouted. Dammit! Where could she be. Had she tried to escape? Where was she and why was she there? "Kat?" Gale shouted, louder this time.

Kat heard her name being called, and she lifted her face from her hands to look around for the source. "G-Gale?" Her voice was quiet, but she hoped it was loud enough for the vampire to hear. "Gale?" She choked back a sob as she saw a shadow on the wall, pressing her hand against her mouth to try and be silent.

Gale heard Kat call his name. Gale ran to the sound of her voice. Kat finally was visible. She was on the ground, in tears. "What happened to you?" Gale asked, both angrily and caring. He realized the questions would have to wait. Gale picked Kat up and jogged back to the room. Hadsomeone attacked her ? She was laying on the ground, and had a red mark on her kneck. Gale pushed the door open with his leg and layed Kat on the bed. "Kat? Calm down your safe now." Someone had deffinitly attacked her. Why else would she be so scared. Kat was fighting to hold back tears and anger. She looked like she wa s going to ecplode. "Its okay, let it all out." Gale said to Kat. "Its okay your safe."

She was lifted off the ground, and she wrapped her arms around the person, already knowing it was Gale. "I'm sorry." It was all she could say, and she just kept mumbling it over and over as she shook her head, fighting to hold back tears. This was all her fault, if she hadn't left the room, if she hadn't made Gale go away..Kat trembled. After she was placed on the bed she curled up, hiding her face from Gale, but still not allowing any tears to fall. "I am so, so sorry Gale." She heard herself say, before finally going quiet. The warm, red blood dripped down her neck from where the other vampire had bitten her, and she cringed as she lifted her hand and saw the blood on it. The other vampire was careless, and had left a rather nasty, and bleeding, wound on her neck.

Gale wasted no time. He quickly laid the girl down. He ran into the bathroom and grabbed two towels, wet them, and ran back. He placed one towel under Kat's head, and the other on the wound, pressing it. Gale fought back the urge to drink the blood. "Kat who did this to you? Was it a boy or girl? Older or younger than me?" There weren't to many people in this building who could bite Kat in such a way. It helped since Gale was in the middle, there was one older and one younger brother, same thing for his sisters. Gale cleaned the blood off of Kat's neck, but the blood would keep flowing. He used the towel to clog the wound. She had lost a lot of blood, she was lucky to be alive.

Breathing heavy, Kat closed her eyes and tried to remember the vampire. "H-he...it wasn't any of your siblings." She stuttered out between ragged breaths, still trying not to cry as Gale cleaned the wound. "I'm tired Gale, l-let me sleep." Weakly, she tried to push his hand away from her neck, but thought twice about it and instead intertwined her fingers with his. "Nighty night Gale," Her eyes fluttered shut and she almost succumbed to the blackness. "I loves you." Falling into the deep pit of unconsciousness, her grip on his hand loosened, and her's fell to the bed beside her.

"Shit. No!" Kat passed out. But, not any of his siblings? Then who the hell was there? No. Gale needed to focus on Kat. Gale kept his hand on the towel at all times. At this point his arm was covered in blood. "Don't die on me," Gale said to himself. Gale lifted her head up onto the pillow. Gale keeled above Kat holding the towel there. He stayed there for a few hours. Occasionally checking Kat's pulse. Gale tried to gently shake Kat awake, as if that would work. It was now close to mid-night, the bleeding had stopped and a large clot of dried blood remained on her neck.

When Kat came-to everything was dark, then she realized that she hadn't opened her eyes yet. When she finally did, the first thing she saw was Gale. "Hey." She mumbled sleepily, weakly raising a hand to put over her mouth while yawning. "What's up?" As she attempted to turn over to face him, a sharp pang shot through her body, starting at her neck. Shuddering, she moved her hand from her mouth to her neck, feeling the dried blood. "W-What happened?" Her eyes widened, and she pushed herself away from him. Did he do this to her? But..he couldn't have. Why would he want to hurt her? Hadn't he just said last night that he liked her?...

"You seriously don't remember anything?" Gale asked shocked. "You wandered outside the room and you got attacked. I was actually going to ask you what happened. Why you were outside." Gale remembered telling Kat he needed to run a few errands. Could she have come looking for him? Gale looked at he dry blood on her neck. He would eventually need to remove it to treat the developing scar underneath. "Try to remember what happened." Gale told Kat. "Were going to need to eventually find this intruder." Gale thought though, for some reason this intruder was much more than just that. "Not until you're healed though." Gale lied down next to Kat. "So you really don't remember anything, huh?" He asked sighing.

"Um...I think I told you I loved you." She laughed a bit, though a bit of red rose in her pale cheeks. "Sorry about that, I must've been totally out of it." It made her even more nervous to know that perhaps she hadn't been that out of it, that half of what she said could have been true. Sighing, she moved over nearer to Gale, laying her head on his chest. At the moment she sort of felt like someone was beating nails into her skull, but with Gale nearer she felt a tiny bit better. "I can't remember. I don't want to." Her head hurt worse as she tried thinking about it. If she tried hard enough..maybe she could remember bits and pieces, but right now even thinking about it made her want to cry. "Can we just..I just want to be with you for awhile." She looked away from him, not knowing how he would react. "Please Gale?"

Gale sighed. "I'll stay here with you. But I'm still upset about before. The rules aren't there to imprison you they are there to protect you. What if you would have died?" Gale shuddered at that thought. Gale's shirt was still covered in Kat's blood. "Kat I need to take this shirt off, I'm not going to let you lay so close to your own blood. I have to get a different shirt." Waiting for her response Gale also decided to bring up another topic. "You still have to tell me when your birthday is." Gale said smiling. "I'm not giving up until you tell me." Gale needed to know when her birthday was, he couldn't give her her present on any random day.

"Then you would have had to get another blood bag." She winced, realizing how harsh that probably sounded. Mumbling a quick apology, she glanced at his shirt which was covered in her blood. It freaked her out a bit, but she'd been this close to so much of her blood before. The thought made a shiver run through her, and she immediately expelled the thought. "Well, you don't have to get another shirt." There was a bit of mischievous glint in her eyes, and she bit her lip slightly.

Again he asked about her birthday. With a sigh, she tried to decide if she was going to brush it off again. Though knowing Gale he'd probably just keep asking until she answered. "Well, if it's after midnight, today. If it's still yesterday, then in one day." She shrugged. "It's no big deal though, I've said that."

Gale smiled at Kat. "Its up to you, but either way I need to get this shirt off." Gale said playing along with Kat. Then, Gale finally broke Kat and she told him when his birthday was. It was almost midnight, and Gale needed to break off the dried blood, for the scab under neath would have finished forming by now. "Listen, I'm going to need to break off that dried blood on your neck, then I'm going to need to apply rubbing alcohol to the scar underneath. Both processes are gonna sting. Are you ready to do it now before your birthday? Get it over with." Gale said smiling. She would need to have it done sooner than later.

Kat let her hands move down, playing with the hem of Gale's shirt. "I'm sorry I ruined your shirt." Though she smiled, inching the shirt up until her fingers trailed along his stomach. But he began talking about scabs and scars and her hands left his skin, letting the shirt fall back down as she swallowed the bile in her throat. "Um, okay. Let's just do it." Then she blushed. "I mean, let's just do what you said, not it." She felt like slapping herself, he probably hadn't even thought of that before she had to go and say something. "Do you need me to get up or anything?" She'd probably fall over if she had to stand up, but she would try if he told her to.

Gale got up from the bed. "No, in fact I need you to lay completely still." He said leaving the room. He came back with some rubbing alcohol and 3 cotton balls, he was lucky enough to have in his bathroom. He knelt down on the floor next to Kat. "This is going to hurt but you have to trust me." He said looking Kat in the eyes. "Unless you want an ugly red blob on your face for a month, and it to feel like someone is choking you for a month, you need to go through with this. Just look up at the ceiling, and don't move." Gale began to break off pieces from the outer part of the dried blood. It would be harder to break pieces off from the inner part, for that was where the scab was. Hopefully there was little to no pain present before he had outlined the scar. Gale put some alcohol on a cotton ball. He began to pick off pieces of the blood from where the scab was. These pieces were harder to break off and hurt more. As the scar appeared Gale rubbed it with the cotton ball. "You're doing good." Gale said, "Keep it up."

"Oww." Kat whined once it began to hurt more, and she initially flinched away from him until realizing that hurt even more. Trying to stay still was terribly difficult for three reasons. The first being her ADHD, which made her want to move even more since she was forced to stay still. Second would be that she was still trying not to shiver, considering she still lacked pants and the shirt seemed to have shrunk or something. And the last reason being how god damn close Gale was to her, don't think we need to explain that one any further. "Are you almost done?" She asked, wincing. When the cotton touched her neck she jumped, not entirely expecting the sudden pain and coldness. "Warn me first!" She cried before reluctantly laying back down so he could finish.

"Almost done." He said. Hopefully he could get the last of it off in one piece. Gale got the cotton with the alcohol on it and got it ready. "Last one, then you'll be done." Gale said sliding his finger next to the last piece of dried up blood. He ripped it off quickly for it was the one that would hurt the most taking off and wanted to be sure it was only one piece. Gale quickly covered the scar with the cotton ball and held it there for a few minutes. He took it off and the bleeding had stopped. She had a few scars on her neck still but they would heal quicker then they would under the dried blood. She could now move her head more freely without the dried blood cracking and digging into her neck. "All done." He said smiling.

"Jesus, fuck, ouch! What did you do?!" Kat held her hand against her neck, biting her lip to keep from screaming again. The last time she'd gotten hurt this badly, meaning badly enough to land her in the hospital, was when she was trampled by a horse. A vampire was not a horse! Tears welled up in her eyes and she quickly pushed them away, but then realized her hand was still covered in blood. "G-Gale..m-my hand.." The tears came to her eyes again, it was like suddenly she was some blubbering mess. Though it was bound to happen some time, right? She'd just been ripped away from her brother, brought to an island to be a vampires meal, and then attacked by another vampire that could possibly be plotting to kill them. Post traumatic stress much? It was then she noticed that her shirt was fairly bloody too, at least around the neck, and she'd gotten Gale's shirt all gross too.

Without caring that Gale was watching her, she peeled the black shirt off and set it on the end of the bed, leaving her in her undergarments(LOL, funny word). Crawling back to the top of the bed, she got under the covers and curled up with a pillow. "Ouch."

"I'm sorry, I had t get it off." Gale said, standing up. Kat curled up in the bed. "You can wash your hands." Gale said. He let her be. "Hey before you go to sleep I have something for you." He said. Gale realized he still had the shirt covered in blood on him, now that he was done dealing with blood he could take it off. Gale picked up the cotton balls and pieces of dried up blood and put them in a garbage pail. He put the alcohol back in the bathroom. He figured he would take the bag out of the hiding place now, while Kat wasn't looking, just in case he would need to hide something else from her. He hadn't wrapped anything for her, it was all just in a bag. He hoped she wouldn't mind. Gale looked through his drawers to find another shirt to put on.

"What did you go out for anyways?" If he'd never gone out, she'd never have left the room, that freaky bloodsucker wouldn't have bitten her, and none of this would have ever happened. She wanted to blame it on him, but she really couldn't. Gale had told her the rules, and one of those rules were to not leave the room without him or his permission. Glancing at the clock, she sighed. Three more minutes and she would be eighteen. Pulling herself to the side of the bed, she reached behind the dresser, grabbing the plug for the clock and pulling it out of the wall, as if that would stop time and keep her seventeen forever.

"That's what I have for you." Gale said putting another shirt on. Gale picked up the bag with the "gifts" he had for her. He put the bag in front of her and sat down next to her. "Happy birthday." He said smiling. He hoped she would appreciate the gift. It cost him quite a lot of money. That wasn't an issue though, he could steal from more people any day. "Open it." Gale said looking at her, perhaps more excited then her.

Kat was hesitant to open the bag, giving Gale a look that said are you sure? as she pulled it nearer. "I told you my birthday isn't a big deal." She mumbled, slowly opening the bag and pulling the items out one by one. Soon she had a few outfits sitting in front of her, bathroom things, and to her actual excitement, a toothbrush. That was one of the only things she'd regretted not bringing, and she'd felt so gross the last two days. Looking up at Gale she offered a small smile. "Thanks, but you really didn't have to."

"I know." Gale said laying down. "But I wanted to." Gale figured it was a nice thing to do. It would be wrong to pull her out here a few days before her birthday, and then not do anything for her. "So do you like it?" Gale asked looking up at her. "I'm sorry if it wasn't exactly what you wanted. I needed to get back, then I found out your birthday is tomorr-today." Gale sat up a little bit, still laying on his pillow. "I guess I'm not god at shopping for people, but I saved your life, so I think that was a nice addition to your birthday present.

Kat rolled her eyes, laughing quietly as she got up and brought all the stuff over to the desk before running back to warmness of the bed. "Shut up, I love what you got me." Smiling, she leaned up to give him a quick kiss before pulling back, blushing. "Thank you." Her smile was genuine, and so were her words. He didn't have to get her anything, he didn't have to save her, but he did, and that meant something to her.
