A Vampire's Promise Chapter 17: Side Effects
Mia's POVSol offered me another one after that. This time, it was a bag of O positive. The taste wasn't as rich and good as the Rh-negative, but it was still good. He then offered me another one and another one.Each time he ripped open the bag to give it to me, I could feel myself growing hungrier and hungrier. I was ravenous for it like I had never eaten a day in my life. I could feel my stomach tightening each time the blood ran down my throat.My throat was dry and wet at the same time, and I could barely see or hear anything other than the blood in front of me. It was on the third bag that I dissolved into a coughing fit and held my hand in front of my mouth. My eyes shot to Sol. The expression in his eyes affirmed what I was thinking. There was confusion laced there, along with a concern of sorts. I knew he was able to read my emotions very clearly at that moment. It was sort of a comforting thing. If I didn't know how I was feeling at that exact moment, I could just
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 18: Blood Uses
Mia's POVSol walked into the bathroom as I began to sit down beside the bathtub. I watched him as he surveyed the room around me. His eyes landed on the pile of bloodied clothes on the floor. To my surprise, Sol picked up the clothes from the floor and went before I could blink. He was back inside the bathroom the next moment without the bloodied clothes. I was shocked that he had done something like that. Maybe he knew it was making me uncomfortable to be in a room with the bloodied objects.He grabbed a smaller towel from the side of the bathroom and began wringing the water out from my hair. "You're going to get sick if you don't put on something warm," he told me softly. I shook my head."Vampires don't get sick." I shot him a cheeky grin despite myself, but he shook his head in return. "Humans do.""Am I human?" I asked mockingly. "Humans don't drink blood from other people. They're really against that, you know? They created an entire category for it. Heard of c
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 19: A Promise
Mia's POVA shiver ran through my body. I pulled the towel tighter."We should get you into bed," Sol suggested. Before I could protest, he was gone and back in less than a flash of light with a bundle of clothes in his hand and gave them to me. "Put these on."I nodded as I quickly got dressed. He turned his back to me. Once I was dressed and my hair somewhat dry, Sol helped me to the bed as my feet wobbled beneath me. The warm blankets felt like heaven against my cold skin. Sol rested on top of the covers as he pulled them tightly over me. He began pushing my hair from my face and tying it at the back of my head in a low ponytail.I was too exhausted to fight him, so I only hummed as he took care of me. "Do you want some tea?" I heard him asking. "It might make you feel better."I shook my head. I couldn't even stomach the thought of eating or drinking anything right now. I just held onto his hand and pressed the coldness against my cheek. Moments stretched on like
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 20: A Bloody Hangover
Mia's POVAfter Sol left me to sleep, I awoke the next night. I felt my entire body reeling from the events of the previous night and the effect the blood had on my body. Just thinking of it, I almost wanted to throw up again.When I turned my head to the side, I noticed that the curtains were still tightly shut, despite the sun not threatening my growing headache. There was a tall glass of water with a jug and some painkillers on the bedside table.I smiled at Sol's great care and chugged down the glass immediately, feeling dehydrated and numb. I left the painkiller because I knew it would only worsen the blood's effect. A note beside it let me know that Sol had emailed my professors and retrieved some worksheets from the classes I had missed. It was thoughtful that he had managed to do this, which made his care even grander.Opening my phone, I noticed I received emails and about a dozen calls and messages from Kaya over the past twenty-four hours. Sending her a quick mess
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 21: Panic Button
Mia's POV"Thanks again for taking care of Kaya," I told Sol as I cleaned up the mugs we had used for tea. "I'm sure she really appreciated getting to know you more."Sol waved his hand. "She's lovely. It was a pleasure. Aren't you more impressed that I remembered how to make the tea?"I laughed and nodded my head at his question. "And who said old dogs can't learn new tricks?" I teased as I turned around after finishing up with the dishes and looked at him.I watched as Sol raised his eyebrow at me in question and took a step toward me."Oh?" he asked with a sly smile on his face, "There are quite a number of tricks I know. Don't you worry."My eyes widened at his suggestion. I felt my ears heat up under his gaze. Before I could say anything else, a blaring sound overcame my senses. A red light flashed somewhere in the house, and Sol was gone from my sight in an instant.When he came back, he held a brightly lit up phone in his hand and was checking something frantically
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 22: Half And Half
Mia's POVIt wasn't more than fifteen minutes before Serin had arrived at Sol's house. He was without a car or any other physical means of transport, so it was obvious he had run here.I watched as he walked to Francis from the side of the gate. His presence spoke about something dangerous, and even Sol shifted on his feet when he saw Serin. I wondered for a moment if it was a good idea to have called the other vampire, not knowing how he may act in stressful situations. But the relief of having somehow at Sol's side quickly overcame any doubt I had in calling Serin.I left the window for a moment to fetch my phone and sent a chain of quick messages to Kaya asking if she was alright and where she was. When I didn't get her reply, I left my phone on the kitchen counter and walked back to the window."And I think it might be time for you to leave." I heard Serin's voice. He was now on the other side of the gate at Sol's side, and they were both facing an enraged-looking Franci
A Vampire's Promise Chaper 23: Kaya MIA
Mia's POV"When was the last time you heard from her?" Sol asked me as the three of us got into one of his cars and pulled out into the main road. Serin had taken the back seat as he was on the call with Sarah, and I tried to navigate Sol to Kaya's apartment. "Before she left your house," I told him. "I had told her to get back to me when she got home, but I figured she was just tired from the day."I ran my hand through my hair as the stress began to pile up and blew a stream of hot air from my mouth. I sensed Sol watching me from the corner of his eye but didn't take much notice of him as I dialed Kaya's number again.His hand gripping my knee gave me some semblance of reassurance before he pulled it away and focused on the road."Mia," Serin called out, "what's Kaya's home address? Sarah is going to meet us there." I repeated the address to Serin, and he told his wife on the other line. I mumbled thanks to him once he got off the phone, and he nodded understandingly. "I should've
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 24: Clues
Sol's POVI could feel the anxiousness that resided in her before I saw her. It was like that fear and anxiety was a blaring, flashing lighthouse light leading me straight to her. I felt my feet move before I gave them the instruction. The next thing I knew was that I had her in my arms.I saw Sarah come up behind Mia later, car keys in one hand and the other reaching out to Serin behind me. She was leading him somewhere else, to the car maybe, to give us some space. I nodded my head at her in thanks.She didn't return the nod, but I could see the worry that was settled in her eyes. A huge part of me was warmed at the fact that she and Mia had taken to each other so quickly. I didn't doubt the fact that Mia was half-human played a part in it. I had seen Serin try to integrate Sarah into vampire society, and it almost never ended gracefully. Vampires, especially purebloods, were too cut off from their human side. Not that there had been any in the first place.The prime example of th
