That's... Odd

As my eyes adjust to the dimly lit room, I look around with a growing frown. It's empty? No... that can't be right. They wouldn't be guarding an empty room... I walk further into the room and stop when I see a designer shoe sticking out from behind the large black desk.

I slowly tilt my head to the side when I see the foot slightly moving, like the owner of the foot was... crawling? I slowly start walking over but as I grow closer, I'm more and more certain the foot belongs to Ambrose himself.

As I walk up behind him, I see his ass sticking straight up in the air with his face so close to the carpet... it looks like he's making out with it. I watch him for a few seconds and see him mumbling something under his breath as he gently brushes his hand over the red plush carpet.

Did I perhaps... walk in on something? Should I come back at another time? Wait... no. Something's clearly wrong here. "Uh... Ambrose?" He doesn't look up but he does say "Shhhh... you'll scare them."

I arch a dark eyebrow in confusion and slowly lean to the side to try and see around him but nothing's there. Nothing! I look around the room for clues but when I find nothing, I try again "Ambrose... who will I scare?"

He suddenly sits up and quickly turns to look at me, startling me as he moves with his vampire speed. His pupils are so dilated, they're nearly all black as he lifts a finger to his full lips and says "SHHH! Can't you see them?"

He uses his other hand to point to the carpet so I look past him to glace at the carpet before looking back to him. "Uh... I don't see anything Ambrose." He suddenly grabs my wrist with his vampire speed and pulls me down next to him.

He then shoves my face down next to the carpet as he whispers "It's alive... everything's alive..." I stare at the carpet for a few seconds before pulling my head back and saying "Ooookaaay... Ambrose. Does this happen a lot?"

He continues to gently stroke the carpet so I snap my fingers in front of his face to get his attention. He blinks and looks up at me with large eyes and smiles as he says "Oh, Eris, it's you! So this is your world... so much life and wonder."

I try to keep a straight face as I look at him but I was failing miserably as I ask "My world? What do you mean?" He leans over, practically falling on top of me as he pats my face saying "Your blood... it's magical." Suddenly, it clicks.

Was he... tripping on my blood? Was that even possible!? He starts petting me like he did the carpet and says "Shhh... I will keep it a secret. No one will know... no one knows that I know what you know... you know?"

I sigh and try to push him off as I say "Yes, I know... Can you sit in your chair?" He looks at me in confusion before swinging his head to the chair behind him and saying "Oh, there it is! It likes to roll off..." I help him up and sit him down in the chair as I try to straighten my clothes.

"When did you drink my blood, Ambrose?" I ask straightening my hair. He scrunches up his face in thought before saying "I drank it.... AH!! Ahhhh.... I see what you're trying to do! My lips are sealed because I know what you know and no one can know."

I throw my head back and try to reach for my inner strength as I say "Okay, Ambrose, you need to come with me until this... whatever this is, wears off, okay?" He looks like he's about to disagree until I say "It's to show you what I know... that you should know... you know?"

His face blanks before he shoots himself out of the chair and says "I know! We must be off!" I roll my eyes and follow him to the door. He swings the door open so hard that it hits the wall with a loud crack, causing poor Frank to nearly pee himself as the other vampires look on with murderous glares.

The vampires all nod to Ambrose and say "Forgive us, Boss, she was extremely fast..." I walk up next to Ambrose and arch a dark brow at the vampires with humor but Ambrose ignores them and starts walking. I follow after him and smile when the other vampires part like the red sea.

"B..Boss! Where are you going? I thought you were busy?" The lead vampire asks with confusion and concern. Ambrose turns to look at the vampire before saying "She's taking me with her so that I can explore every inch of her and know all that I should know. We will become one with everything as.."

I slap my hand over his mouth as I say "Busy... very busy." Ambrose suddenly grabs my wrist and pulls it back a little to lick the palm of my hand like some kind of animal! The vampires all have mixed reactions but all of them now think that Ambrose and I are in some kind of sexual relationship as I try to push him out of the club.

He looks at my hand and says "It's mesmerizing... your skin is alive... no, it's you. You are alive!!" I'm nearly foaming at the mouth as we leave the bar. I quickly walk him to my car but he keeps stopping to say "It's ALIVE!! It's all ALIVEEEE!!"

When I finally get him in the car, I buckle him up and use my magic to keep him restrained. I take several deep breaths before walking over to the car and getting in. I look over to find him rubbing his face against the window as he says "It's all connected... don't you feel it?"

I sigh and take off. The sooner I get him in the house and away from people, the better. I really don't want him telling others about my blood and even if he didn't, they have ways they could eventually find out. I need to hide him until this wears off.
