A Vampire's Promise Chapter 14: Whenever You're Ready
Mia's POV"So what's the deal with you and that guy anyway?" Kaya asked me once we had gotten out of class and into the car Sol had lent me."Sol?" I asked as I buckled myself in and pulled out of the parking lot. "Nothing's going on. Why?" The woman scoffed beside me and shot me a sideways glance. I laughed and looked at her funny. "What?" I stressed as she only shook her head."Oh, come on, Mia! Even you can't be that blind. He offers you a job with a very, very decent salary from what I've heard. He gives you a room in his gorgeous mansion plus a car to use as you please, just because you are his old family friend?"I bit my bottom lip as I turned at the sight of the green light. From our new position on the road, I could see the light of the setting sun. I pulled the visor down to protect my eyes. "He's a really good old family friend." Kaya groaned at my weak reply. "Sure, really good family friends give you cars and comfortable rooms in their mansions. Seriously, he
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 15: Beverages And Blood
Mia's POVWe both turned our heads at the sound of feet coming toward us and saw that it was Kaya. She held her phone in one hand and her bag in the other as she waved at us descending from the stairs."Hey, so um…" I walked toward her when she began speaking. "I just went ahead and called a taxi."I crossed my brows together in confusion. "You didn't need to do that. I could have taken you home.""Yeah, thank you, I know you offered, but…" She waved me off. "It's late, and I'm sure you're both tired. Plus, I have to hand in this report." She waved a flash drive in front of me. "I was supposed to take it in last night, but I ended up going into that club instead."Sol stepped forward and asked her something I was shocked by. "Do you still not remember how you got to the club or who took you there last night?" He was standing directly next to me now. I tried not to think about the way his arm was brushing mine.Kaya shrugged as she placed her phone and drove inside of her pu
A Vampire's Promise Chapter 16: A Small Taste
Mia's POV"So, this is your little food box," I murmured as my eyes never left the blood in the safe. It was placed in all types of different containers, from small and medium-sized vials to blood bags and blood patches.They were organized and labeled by date and blood type, which surprised me. I had never seen a blood collection before, never mind something as refined as this. The more I stared at it, the more confused I became at the limited amount of blood in the safe. I turned to Sol and asked, "Is this enough for you?"He nodded and pulled out a small vial of O positive from the larger pool supply in front of us. "Usually, this is all I need through the week." I was shocked by his statement. I listened as he continued. "Older purebloods need less blood to survive than the younger ones."I felt my eyebrows pull together at the information. What Sol told me now was different from what I had heard since I was a child, and I wasn't sure whether to believe his admission or
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
