Recovery? or another excuse for blood drinking?

Scarlett turned her head, her jet black fringe falling in front of her crystal blue eyes. Ash removed his hands and gently touched Scarlett's face, moving it ever so gently to match his. Scarlett moved her eyes down avoiding eye contact.

"Hey love, Is everything okay?" Ash asked concerned.

Scarlett nodded slowly.

Ash placed one of his gentle and soft hands on her chin and lifted her face up. Scarlett shut her eyes and ash slowly lent in and pressed his lips against Scarlett's. The coldness of her piercings in her lips sent shivers down his spine, her lips were so soft and sweet like the inside of a rose. Ash pulled away after a couple of seconds. He smiled at Scarlett, and she opened her eyes ever so slowly and battered her eyelashes a couple of times. Ash took Scarlett's hand and walked down the stairs, Holding her hand firmly as she slowly walked down in her heeled boots. They walked into the kitchen and Ash picked Scarlett up by the waist and lifted her onto the work surface in the kitchen.

"How are you recovering? you went through hell these past few days, I was so worried. Why did you not tell me all that information before? you being hunted? I mean are you being hunted? I knew you were a hunter but damn, look what they did to you. I care about you and it hurts me to see you get hurt yourself Scarlett. You know that" Ash explained.

"I'm recovering fine. Coping. Just a little over the place nothing I haven't dealt with before. I lost a lot of blood, I know that, and don't think I don't know what you did when you brought me home. I know you fed me blood. I woke up with it on my face, I saw the lines on your arms under your bandana. So please, Don't act like its all okay because I know its not. I know what I did was wrong, But it was the best thing I could think of. None of us got killed. So it is all good I suppose so." Scarlett explained.

"I know, You did lose a lot of blood and those stupid hunters paid for it. I wont ever let you go through it again! I can't. I was so god damn worried you were gonna die or something crazy like that. I need you alive and you know that. But I'm here to help. I know what you're needing, I know and I can tell its what you want, You need to recover before we can go any further. Your life is on the line, and I wanna help. So here." Ash said helping Scarlett to the near by couch.

Ash took a knife out of his cowboy boots and poked it into his skin, dragged it slowly but deeply, blood started to appear not much, but enough for Scarlett to get a decent amount. Scarlett placed her gentle lips onto his arm, began drinking. Ash could feel her biting down, then drinking. The noises as she swallowed the blood Scarlett felt happy. Good and refreshed. The taste of Ash's blood was the one thing that kept her going, Kept her alive. She loved that feeling, the thick liquid going down her throat, Gentle. The sweet taste but, leaving a trace of metal afterwards. She loved it. Ash knew she loved it too. Scarlett finished drinking, kissed the area and looked directly at Ash. Ash handed the blade to Scarlett, She tightly gripped the handle and moved over to the other side of Ash. She didn't think twice. She instantly cut his shirt at the top next to his shoulder blade.

"S-s-carlett?" Ash muttered.

"Don't worry I know what I am doing" Scarlett said softly.

Scarlett placed her lips onto his warm skin. Ash could feel her warm breathe on his skin. The touch of her soft lips and the coldness of her piercings all heightened on this area. Scarlett placed the blade onto his "sweet spot" as people called it. That area in the middle of your collar bones and shoulder blade. A little towards the back. She dragged it, The instant sharp pain Ash felt of inflicted pain by somebody else he could feel the blood dribble down his back. He could feel this blade cut him a few times. Deeply. Scarlett dropped the knife and traced her tongue over the blood trail following it up to the top, The source, where the most sweet tasting blood was. She closed her eyes and placed her lips onto the area and bit down and began drinking, Ash felt great as he knew he was helping Scarlett. Ash picked up the blade off the floor and slid it back into his boots.

"You okay?" Ash asked.

"I am fine. Great in fact. Best blood I've ever had to be fair. I've waited so long for the blood of this area. Its so good. " Scarlett smiled.

Ash turned to face Scarlett. He looked at her and smiled.

"You know, you are super cute with that crimson red blood on your lips. The face of a true vampire. Covered in blood. Blood of your "lover" " Ash explained.

Ash leaned in, and ever so gently cleaned the blood off Scarlett's face.

"Here. Once more okay. Then we call it enough?" Ash said pulling the knife back out his boot.

Scarlett took a hold of the blade once again. Tracing over the lines she once made before. Ash's back was covered in bite marks and lines of dried up blood. She placed the knife onto his skin and dragged it and repeated the feeding process. She kept biting then drinking. Ash could hear her drinking. Hear her breathing, and her kissing his "sweet spot". He loved it. Ash once again took the blade off Scarlett and placed it back into his cowboy boot. Scarlett placed a hand on his shoulder and Ash took a hold of the other. This is what they both always wanted. Scarlett kept drinking. Until a figure in the door way emerged Ash nor Scarlett noticed this figure. They were too focused, But the noise of Scarlett drinking was soon broken.

"What the heck is going on here!!?" The voice yelled from the doorway.

The figure was a girl. Tall, ivory skin, long sharp nails and pointed teeth. Fangs if you like. Her long apple green hair was stuck up into the style of a Mohawk. The sides beside the Mohawk were shaved and graced with a purple background and leopard prints and her pale green eyes were outlined with black eyeliner and thick black eye shadow. Her lips were tinted with a crimson lipstick. She was in punk attire with knee high Gothic boots, belts and chains hanging from her skinny jeans and her black button shirt was covered by a tartan and leather jacket. She had closer together Snake bites, Labret, double studs on her left side of her nose. She had 5 lobe piercings in left ear, and 6 in right with Daith piercing. Both ears were finish with Industrials and stretchers.

"What the!? How the hell did you get here!?" Ash exclaimed turning around,

"Well, I walked through that door. Did I not?" The girl said sarcastically.

The girl strutted up to Ash and Scarlett and yanked Ash away from Scarlett.

"Seriously! I heard the bad news about Scarlett. I came here to see how she was and here you are, Letting her feed off you!" The girl yelled with rage.

Scarlett walked towards Ash and the girl. She whipped her hair out her face and made direct eye contact with this girl, face to face.
