My Mr Vampire has gone Mad Again

AZALEA~

“Daffy had another heart attack”

I stand frozen on the sidewalk, the doctor’s voice echoing in my ear. 

Daffodil again? 

The pain rises to my chest, but there’s no time to cry. 

I end the call and pocket my phone before sprinting towards the subway. I can’t lose Daffy. 

No.

My phone rings again and I quickly pick it up, thinking it’s the doctor but it’s Poppy, my sister. 

“Where on earth are you, Lea? Have you forgotten I have to hand in my assignment before the next class?” she barks like she always does.

“I can’t!” I snap breathlessly. “The doctor just called, Daffy had a heart attack again. I have to…..” My voice cracks. “Poppy, I have to be there for him, please” 

“Who cares if that sickle – celled kid dies, Huh?” Poppy cuts in venomously, “Come back to school right now before the next class or else I’ll….”

I hang up before she can finish whatever she wants to say.

No one else is going to stay with Daffy if I don’t. Mum died last spring, Dad died years ago bringing Daffy’s meds. 

Now he has only me. 

Poppy is just my stepsister, she hates us like poo. 

Minutes later, the public transport arrives and I barely wait for the doors to open before leaping inside. 

--

By the time I get to the hospital, my lungs are burning. I nearly collide with a nurse at the door. 

“Miss Lea, you’re here” the nurse says. 

“Nurse, where’s Daffy I hope nothing has happened to him” I ask impatiently. 

She hands me a tabloid, “He’s out of danger, the doctor wants you to get these medicine before they take him back to the ward”

I feel relieved as though a wave of cold water is poured on me. For years since after his fifth birthday, Daffodil has been battling with heart disease. The Sickle Cell complication that twisted his bones and poisoned his heart was called cardiomytopathy but I call it madness and bondage.

I walk through the busy and aesthetic hospital environment out of the pharmacy, clutching the prescription tabloid and the medicine in my shaky hands. 

Now that Daffy is okay, I want to call Poppy back to tell her the state of things but the sound stops me.

My hand freezes in the mid air, immediately I hear the slurping sound.

What sound can that be in a hospital?  

I turn my head toward the garden, where the sound seems to be coming from and I freeze!

It looks as if two men are kissing but no, as the first raises his head, the patient falls to the ground like a withered flower and the other man, has blood dripping from the corners of his lips and I could see some elongated fangs. 

 My heart seizes immediately! No, this couldn’t be real. 

I watch, as he grabs another man and as swift as possible, his teeth sink into the fellow’s neck while the latter cries in pain.

How can there be no one here at this moment except me? 

 I look around urgently for security footage, a nurse, even a patient but I see no one!

 As if I’m the only one programmed to see this. I yell with fear and the medicine packet drops from my hand.

The man with fangs looks up, and for a splitting moment, he stares at me without any reaction and in the next moment, he disappears.

My blood goes cold and my throat dries up immediately devoid of any emotions.

I thought that’s all but again, I feel a presence behind me. Something eerie and fearsome, I turn around and in that second, I am face to face with the long fanged man. 

My eyes widens as I sink back in fear while praying fervently under my breathe, “Holy Moly, please save me”

I whimper in fear as the man starts to proceed towards me with his blood stained fangs. My fears soared and panic rises to my tongue making me yell loudly in a way I can never imagine. 

All of a sudden, I felt something windy brush past me — that wasn’t even a wind, as if someone push him away with a gust of wind when I open my eyes, he’s gone. But who pushed him away?

My heart thumps fearfully hoping that he might appear anytime soon but I only see nurses and patients coming at me to ask questions.

“Are you okay?” 

“Did you get lost?” 

“Are you a patient?”

“Why did you yell so much this is a hospital”

Unable to control my sanity through these wave of questions, I run out of the building and bump into a man. 

“So….. So…. Sorry” I pick my pace again to continue running but something held me back. 

Something that feels more like a hand pulling me back. I turn my head again even though the fear and panic in my heart. A well dressed young man that looked as though he was in his thirties. And those peerless golden eyes that almost looked like that of a cat.

“Thank goodness, I… just saw a…. a man drinking blood. I almost died,” I blurts even when the fellow did not ask. 

I thought I was in safe hands until I feel the air around me cold and he suddenly grabs my neck making me groan. “W…What are you doing to me?” I choke through my difficulty in breathing. 

“You’re not almost dead, you’re already dead!” he whispers and before I could process what he had just say, he lowers his head again, as if he wanted to kiss me but... "..." 

A cold sharp pain spread to my neck and my eyes widens. He raises his head and I saw those fangs and his golden eyes glittering under the hazy glow. 

Did…. Did he… did he just bite me? No… I really have to freak out, this is too crazy to be true and just as I was about to open my mouth to yell, the glow on his eyes disappear.

He looks as if he just got his brain back. His eyes narrowing like he smelt something strange in me or tasted something different from my blood. Panic and fear rents his face and it feels as if he’d just met someone he lost long ago. “You… You’re……”

 The pain makes my body hot, my head becomes heavy and I feel as if I was thrown under the layers of hell.

I can't make out his words, my eyes start to close due to the pain and I didn't see it clearly when he placed his hand on my neck that he bite, and immediately, the pain stop.... 

But as it stops, something else is happening to me, my hands shake and my throat dries up. A molten need unfurls inside of me and I crave something soft, something MALE!

I feel so horny more than I'd ever be, even when I watched pornography in the past. 

Then he opens his mouth and breathe out the two words that I never imagine to hear “My Mate?”
