Chapter 21:Alex took me to a thrift store down the street so I could pick out something more conferrable than my satin gown. I picked out some black ripped skinny jeans, a black laced corset, black combat boots and a black sweatshirt with pink hearts. I pulled my red hair back in some feathered chopsticks and applies some very red lipstick and a pair of sunglasses, to hid my already black turning lips and red turning eyes a signal I'm getting hungry.
"Are you okay Christa? You seem a little on edge" Alex said.
"I'm just starving, haven't eating in 2 or 3 days is all, no biggy" I replied in a sarcastic tone. Alex grabbed my hand and pulled me through big wroth iron gates. We were standing in the middle of a cemetery, which would have been creepy if I wasn't already a vampire and the fact that on a sunny day it looked beautiful.
"Why did you bring me here, I mean just because I'm a vampire and slightly gothic doesn't mean I like cemeteries" I said. Alex just laughed, then he began to drag me farther and farther into the cemetery till there was nothing but tomb stones and monuments in sight.
"Why did you bring me here anyway?" I asked.
"You said you were hungry and I'm not about to let you continue killing people" he answered. "The only person you are allowed to feed off of is me."
"Alex I'm not sure that's such a good idea" I countered.
"Well one, I'm not giving you much of a choice and two, I trust you. Unless this is like the horror movies were you bite me and I turn into a vampire" he said with a smirk. I looked up at him and was instantly flooded by his sad endearing blue eyes, I almost forgot what we were debating.
"Oh come on Christa, I'm going to help you steer clear of your clan, protect you but I can't let you keep killing people." I felt the thick red liquid begin to flow from my eyes again, crap I'm losing it again I thought.
"doesn't that bother you? To think I've killed people and drained their life blood, that I could most likely kill you and on top of it Christa isn't my real name, I borrowed it from an earlier victim that doesn't make you sick!" I yelled at him. I was so confused, why was I falling in love with a human, why was he offering his blood to me, why wasn't he killing me. I turned to run but Alex grabbed my arm and pulled me in, cradling me against his chest. Genevieve just like that, as soon as I was close to Alex I remembered that had been my name a long time ago.
Chapter 22:"Genevieve, that was the name my parents gave me. God I hated and still hate that name."
'Why?" asked Alex.
"Because it was my grandmothers name and she was a bigger drunk than my father" I replied.
"Well in that case I think Christa's a much better name." The flow of red from my eyes stopped but left a stain on Alex's black AC DC t-shirt which he didn't seem to mind. We stood in silence for a few moments, him holding me in his arms. Finally I pulled away so I could see his face.
"Now there's still the matter of getting you fed" he said.
"Okay fine but only because you don't want me killing people. I just want you to be aware how much it pains me to drink your blood." I said.
"Well don't let it because it could be kind of romantic." He looked me right in the eyes with such an intensity that I could tell he was a little nervous.
"I doesn't hurt allot" I said "just a prick." I stood on my tip toes so I could reach his neck, I felt my fangs extend as I listened to the steady, strong thump of Alex's heart. I stuck my fangs into his flesh, piercing the veins and gently licking the blood as it flowed from the puncture wound I created. I felt Alex tense up and then slightly relax.
"That was more than a pinch you know, but its kind of worth it" he said to me. Once I was satisfied ,which seemed to be way to fast, I pulled away and brought my lips to Alex's. His were soft like velvet and intoxicating, and clearly we were both enjoying this kiss because we didn't stop till Alex almost passed out.
"I must say" Alex said "I've never been bitten then kissed by a girl before." I sit him on the grass holding the scarf from my bag to his neck.
"I've never kissed a boy who didn't bite me back" I replied.
"I'm all about new experiences" he said pulling me down for a second kiss.
"Are you okay Christa? You seem a little on edge" Alex said.
"I'm just starving, haven't eating in 2 or 3 days is all, no biggy" I replied in a sarcastic tone. Alex grabbed my hand and pulled me through big wroth iron gates.

I found this poem on the back of my Vampire Vineyards Pinot Noir bottle.
But first on this earth as vampire sent,
Thy corpse shall from tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the blood of all thy race;
There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
At midnight drain the stream of life;
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
Must feed thy livid living corpse.
Thy victims are they yet expire
Shall know the demon for the sire,
As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
Thy flowers are withered on the stem.
But first on this earth as vampire sent,
Thy corpse shall from tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the blood of all thy race;
There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
At midnight drain the stream of life;
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
Must feed thy livid living corpse.
Thy victims are they yet expire
Shall know the demon for the sire,
As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
Thy flowers are withered on the stem.
