Your Existence is a Threat
"Your mother may have seen your blood in your veins as green as money, but all I saw is hope. A chance for me to finally live a human life once again.", Calvin went closer and took Diana's hand as he trail the veins on her arm.
Diana clenched her fist so hard, until her fingernails dug into her palm. Her mother uses her blood for money, after giving her a perfect life every little girl dreams of. How ironic, she thought. Her mother's acquainted love to her only daughter suffocated her, doubting if they are really related by blood and by heart strings.
"After I drank your blood, I suddenly felt my chest thump which I thought would never beat again in a hundred years.", he placed Diana's palm on his chest. It left her stupefied on the soft thump that she felt on the dead man's heart.
"For how long?", Diana asked as she retrieve her hand keeping it close to her chest.
"Just for a few days..", he exhaled sharply and swept his hair back. "A drop of your blood can make any vampire human, with no scents, no powers, and no cravings for blood.", he said as he heave his chair closer to Diana, this alerted her to move back.
Diana felt reposed. The fact that Calvin drank her blood, that makes him human at this time. Thinking she wouldn't end up ravaged with vampire fangs sinking in her skin.
"You know, I want to give vampires a new breath of life, but not all want what I envision.." moving his face closer, looking to her eyes.
"Like the one who attacked me?", Diana didn't moved, she just glanced at Calvin with her head down.
"He plainly wants to kill you. They thought, your existence is a threat to ours. The goddamn wolves can easily vanquish the vampire clan in a sweep when we're on our vulnerable state if we're drugged with your blood. Either way, I still choose to live", he suddenly grabbed her hands.
"..and love again.", Calvin placed her fingers in his mouth. Diana flinched and pulled her hand back, but Calvin gripped it harder. "I will never hurt you, or put your life in danger.. not even a strand of your hair", his brimming hazel eyes reflected his best efforts to soften the girl he's desperate to fall back to him.
"A chance to be human is a chance to love one. And there's no one out there for me, but you Diana.", Calvin stood up and let Diana stand in front of him. He soothed her by rubbing her shoulders. Diana knitted her brows at Calvin, thinking that this clouded vampire doesn't even have the slightest idea that she's a wolf.
"What about my mother? Isn't her blood the same as mine?", Diana asked, as she breathe shakily.
"You're the only who has this precious blood, Diana", Calvin said, grazing her neck with his finger, down to her clavicles.
"Diana, come back home. The wolves and other vampires won't get you there. Your mother and I will protect you", Calvin convinces her with that cunning look in his eyes.
So it has come to this, she realized that Calvin will always be her mother's ally to get her shackled in their home like a milking cow. For Diana, Calvin just wanted her blood, nothing else.
"That Scott is no good for you. Do you even know he's a wolf?? They imprint on wolves, so you won't be taken seriously by that dog.", Calvin said it as his face hardened. Diana scoffed at him as she move away from his grip.
"Calvin.", Diana tried to back away but Calvin grabbed by her wrist. "I want to choose a life for myself. I won't go back. Whether I choose a dog or a human, that's doesn't concern you", she gritted her teeth as she forcibly wriggle her hand from Calvin's tight grasp.
Calvin suddenly held the back of her head, grabbed her hair, then pushed her head slamming down the table, pinning her down. Diana winced and left out a tear, placing her hands on the table struggling to get up.
"Diana, I am losing my f*cking patience!", he placed his both hands on her back, as he shouted behind her ear. "I'll kill that Scott with my bare hands, and you'll come back to me", he grunted as he turn her over to face him.
Before Calvin could make his next move, they heard someone banging on the door. It was Cory shouting for Diana.
While distracted, Diana kicked Calvin in the crotch, and thrusted him away. She rushed to the door without looking back.
Limping from pain, Calvin panted as he tried to get a hold of Diana before she could reach the door. He stopped midway when he saw Diana in the arms of Cory.
"Are you okay Luna?", Cory held the trembling Luna holding her face with her palm as he let her out. He scanned the room and saw Calvin leaning on the table, wincing in pain. "Luna, stay here..", he said.
When he's about to go in, Diana held him back. "Cory, let's go", she said leaving Calvin sharply breathing in pain and darkening his eyes in disappointment.
*************
"IT'S JUST A SMALL PARTY", Reina scoffed at her brother, who's scolding her about the number of people she invited tonight. She landed on the couch heavily with her arms folded.
"300 guests Reina?! Where did you even get all those people?", Scott scowled, raising his voice at her. He knows how extravagant Reina could be, but he never expected a ball party with as big as three hundred guests.
"Those are just friends and family. Everyone's looking forward for your birthday! Imagine, I just invited them yesterday, and VOILA! They all cleared their evening for you. You're that special!", she said excitingly as she leaned over with delighted eyes.
"I am?", he furrowed his brows with the thought of him being special to other people. With all honesty, he just wanted to be special to his Luna, not just any other random people.
"Yes!", Reina widened her eyes and lifted her fanned fingers to Scott. "Okay! So, see you later brother!!", Reina sprinted out quickly to avoid further interrogation from his brother. Besides, it's too late to cancel the party now, she have placed so much effort for Scott's white party in the Devlins Ballroom at the mansion.
Scott sighed sharply as he look for his lighter. When he checked his pocket, he saw the cannister of T-pills. He opened the lid, and sniffed inside. "Interesting..", he whispered as he closed the lid in disgust.
