A Broken Promise

She just thought it over one more time and, realizing that there is no other choice for them as well, she decided to give in.

Alright, I will do it. She spoke. Dylan's mother came to her and held her hands, not knowing how to thank her. It was clear that though the situation wasn't serious, if he was let alone like that for another while, it would have been life threatening.

After all, he was all they had.

"Rayme, by any chance do you have that jewelry set that I gave you? If you have it with you, things will be much easier for you." Mrs. Night said.

"Oh, I have them in my bag. I will quickly get it from the car." Rayme ran out of the house to get the box. When she returned, Mr. and Mrs. Night was slowly moving him to a room.

"Rayme, go ahead and wear them before coming into the room! Make sure you put the rosary into the chain in the jewelry box Dylan gave to you!" They took him upstairs while Rayme changed her jewelry. While she was doing so, Mrs. Night came back to her in a white dress.

"You can wear this. If a single bit of blood is on your clothes, your parents will get scared."

"Alright, thank you Mrs. Night. I will be up in a minute." Disregarding the fact that she was in the living room, she quickly changed into the dress they gave. Though it was a bit smaller than her size, she walked up to his room wearing the dress.

When she got there, Dylan was already on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Rayme, do you know why we told you to wear that jewelry set? It is because that is the only thing that can protect you during a night like this. Regardless of how much we have trained our life after the coming of age ceremony, every and each vampire loses their mind on full moon nights."

"Since that jewelry belonged to a vampire, it can cut off the smell of your blood. That is the reason why so many humans wanted to get it, but in the end I who was supposed to be the original owner of it, got it back."

"Lady Rosalyn was my grandmother, to be exact. Now that is all I am going to tell you. We are sorry to ask you for this favor. If we could access someone else, we wouldn't have asked you. We are truly sorry for this."

"It's alright Mr. and Mrs. Night. There is no need for you guys to be this sorry. You are doing this for your only child. I am pretty sure that any other parents would have done the same thing."

"You can go out and close the door. I will take care of the situation here." She said like a brave girl but infect she was scared. All she wanted by behaving that way was for them to think that they can trust their son in her hands.

After Mr. and Mrs. Night walked out of the room, Rayme went to Dylan and sat on his bed. His body was more pale than before, even though she wasn't that close to him she could feel the coldness of his body.

"Dylan, wake up!" She whispered into his ear.

His eyes opened. They looked completely different. They were red, as if he was bleeding.

"I am going to let you do whatever you want to me, but before that, you have to escape from the state you are in. You can bite me, but don't suck all of my blood, okay? I want to be in a relationship with you even after this."

Realizing that jewelry was what keeping him from biting her, she took off all of them and put them aside.

"Take me!" She said.

Dylan grabbed Rayme and pushed her against the bed. She could feel his icy breath on her neck. Goosebumps were all over her body, though she didn't like the shivery feeling she knew that she had no other choice.

"I don't care about what you are going to do to me, but if it is something indescribable, please save it for later, because I don't want our first time to be like this."

Though she said all these words, he couldn't hear them at all. All he wanted was her warm blood. He bit the same place he bit a while ago, this time much harder that Rayme couldn't help but scream. She could feel his teeth penetrating through her skin and how he gulped down her blood like water.

She was slowly losing her consciousness due to the low level of blood in her body, but she held on, not wanting to lose conscious as she knew that if something else happens, she will have no way of protecting herself.

She kept looking straight into his eyes, wondering when he will be back to normal and even before she could imagine, his eyes slowly started to turn back to blue. He regained consciousness in a matter of minutes after he drank her blood.

He took his teeth off her neck, when he realized that it was Rayme from whom he was sucking blood from. He felt his world collapsing; he looked at her, who was now lying on his bed about to lose her consciousness. She was just as pale as he was before.

"Rayme, are you alright?" He asked as soon as he came back to his senses.

"Yes," she replied with a smile. "I am glad you are alright now. Can you call your parents in now? Otherwise, I will die." Though it was a bit hard for her to say those words, she managed to utter those words out of her mouth, knowing that was her only choice.

"Mom! Dad!" Dylan cried out. Mr. and Mrs. Nigh entered the room with a doctor, but before they took another step in, Mrs. Night stopped everyone.

"Dylan put on her jewelry, otherwise we will lose our senses in a matter of seconds." Dylan jumped out of bed and grabbed all the jewelry she had kept aside and carefully put them on her. Though Rayme seemed to be still alive, she seemed like a person who was at the brink of her death.

His parents and the doctor who was behind them quickly rushed to Rayme while Dylan just stood there with tears in his eyes. Never in his life he had imagined things to turn out this way, and he didn't imagine that Rayme would give herself in for his sake.

"Dad, was it you guys who asked her to give me blood?" He asked before he uttered anything else.

"Dylan,Dylan, you probably are angry at us now, but we had no other choice. You know that the human prey that you need on your coming of age ceremony has to be someone of your own blood type, right? She was the only person we could find because you went into your vampire state out of nowhere."

"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't go out of the house. You dared to go out of the house, disregarding the fact that today was a full moon day."

"Don't worry, she will be alright by tomorrow morning. I called her parents and told them that she will stay here."

"Let's go out of the room for now." Mr. Night said. "Your mom said that she will be by her side tonight in case she gains a fever."

"I am not going anywhere. Other than the doctor, I want both of you to get of this room. Regardless of what might have happened to me, you shouldn't have done this to her. She wasn't someone who could go through something like this."

Dylan's parents walked out of the room, not wanting to get on their sons' nerves. They understood what they were telling but from their perspective they were just parents who were concerned about their child.

Dylan said by her side, hoping that she will get up any second, but that didn't happen like he wanted to. After the doctor left, he kept strocking her head, telling her to be strong, and he was sorry. She wiped down the sweat on her body as if he was taking care of his sick wife.

As the morning slowly approached, her skin color was much water. She was turning pink little by little, which was a good sign. He stayed there looking after her till the sun came out.

Rayme opened her eyes to see Dylan by his side with his eyes red with tears. The moment she regained consciousness, he hugged her hard.

"It hurts, it hurts;" she said.

He quickly got away from her upon hearing those words.

"Tell me where does it hurt, I will call back the doctor".

"No, there is no need to bring him back. The needle on my hand is the one that hurts. Now I am alright." She spoke.

"I am sorry that my parents did that for you." He spoke.

"No don't be sorry, there is no need to do so." She said.
