Tables have Turned

Max and Ace silently walk down the chamber stairs into the dark pit. Ace holding on to Max's arms expecting the worst, feels a cold shiver down her spine. Looking across the room she spots nick right away. Nick looks in bad shape, he's chained up by his ankles and his wrist tied up in thick white rope. His face is swollen and puffy. His body covered in blood.

Ace started to panic what if Nick was dying, she would be locked up for murder. She rapidly ran over to him and untied him. As she did Max became annoyed.

"Max unchain his ankles I need to take him to hospital" I ordered at once.

"He doesn't deserve a hospital" Max scoffed.

"Max, please now is not the time, he could be dying" I shouted back.

"If I unchain him, how do I know he won't say anything" max responds with little effort.

"Max please, we spoke about this. You said you would let him go" I sobbed quietly.

" fine give me five minutes alone with him, I will bring him up when I'm done" max promised.

"OK," I sniff with tears rolling down my cheeks.

Before I reach the exit max grabs my arm and pulls me closer to him. Losing my balance I fall into him. He hugs me tightly and kisses my head. Whispering in my ears. "Everything will be ok, you can trust me" he exhales with a smile.

As I gain my balance back, I nodd and smiles returning his love I kiss him and stroke my fingers down his chest.

"I believe you, I will always have your back" I say with a smile to resure him.

5 minutes later the lads come walking out the Chambers. Nick doesn't seem to remember where he is or who Max is. Before I even begin to question max, he already steps in front of me and pulls me close.

" I had to erase his memory, he won't remember what happened today. But I've told him if he lays even a finger on you I will be back for him" Max signs with a gentle tone in his voice.

" How is that possible?" I replied.

"Its a long story" max resumes.

"Your a?" Before I can even finish my sentence max nodds and places his finger over my lips.

Ace knew there was something special about Max but she had no idea he was a vampire. As questions enter her mind she begins to feel disy and light headed. Max reading her body language, sweeps her off her feet and Carried her home.

As soon as they got back to her flat max ordered some Chinese. He knew Ace hadn't eaten much lately and decided she needed some food in her stomach.

Ace laid quietly in her bed repeating to herself she was in love with a vampire.

Not long after max brings in her chinse food and slowly Ace begins to eat. Max actually manages to eat some to. Amazed by this Ace smiles at him giving him the thumbs up.

"I bet your wondering why I'm eating this food, you probably think vampires only live on blood." He says with a huge grin on his face.

"Pretty much" Ace chuckles

"Well we don't just live on blood, we can eat whatever we want. That whole vampires can only live on blood is a load of fantasy made up crap" he laughs trying to keep a straight face.

"We only drink blood if we're desperately hungry or if we need it to restore ourselves. Some vampires drink it to consume energy or powers" he explains.

"Do you drink blood?" Ace quietly says trying to sound as causal as she can.

"Sometimes I do, but not in the way your thinking. I've never bitten anyone I've had blood out of bags and drips. To bite someone has to either be a intimacy thing for vampires or a merciful death." He fires back with a emotional answer.

Ace takes a moment to think and then blurts out " Would you bite me"

Max taken back in amusement, pauses trying to read Aces emotions.

"Yes, from the moment I meet you, all I've wanted to do was take a bite on that sexy structured neck of yours and taste that gorgeous body of yours" he doesn't hold back the truth, but judging the way Ace smiles, Max knew he could be up front with Ace about how he felt about her and she wouldn't hold back from him either. It was like they were made for each other.

"Well feel free to help yourself to some desert" she beamed.

Max thought about it for a second or so and then said screw it. He drops the food onto the floor and places Ace into his arms. she automatically chucks her food to the floor. She looks up with a glowing smile and slides her hair behind her ear. Max's eyes turn Amber then to a bright red. His face changes and all his veins rise to the surface of his skin. His teeth change into thangs. Just like that he looks like a completely different person.

Max slowly pierces her skin and sinks his thangs into her neck. As she let's out a loud moan, he loses control and begins to get deeper. Ace feeling numb falls into a day dream. Moments later Max tries to control him self and let go of his grip on her, but his body doesn't respond. Feeling Ace's blood run through his veins was like ecstasy taking control of him. Max never knew such rich blood existed. He wanted to drink every drop of it but if he didn't immediately stop himself Ace would die or become seriously ill. Max desperately tried to stop but he just couldn't.

In was in seconds that Trydon stepped in and pulled Max of Ace. Ace who appears to be in a deep sleep doesn't respond. Max who is now torn away from Ace growls in fury.

"Max stop, otherwise your going to kill her" roars Trydon.

Max steps back and feels himself back in control. Looking down at Ace who is deeply a sound asleep unaware of what is going on. Her blood pouring out of her neck he quickly put his hands over her wound and bites his own wrist and slowly feeds his blood to Ace. As the blood drips down Ace's throat her wounds all heal instantly and she awakens looking confused. Max looks up at Trydon, who gives him a sign of relief.

"What happened" asked Ace, noticing Trydon at the end of her bed and max on top of her.

"We should go, I just wanted to kiss you good night" Max whispered.

Ace feel back to sleep within seconds and Max and Trydon left the room.

"BROTHER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" Trydon growls with anger. Max knew he had just broken a law and now he was going to suffer the consequences for it.

"Brother, I love her" Max answered in a small sob.

"Are you mad she is a human, you know the law's" hissed Trydon.

"I don't care about the stupid laws anymore" max snapped.

"BROTHER, you can't fall in love with her, if you don't walk away now. you might as well go in there and finish her, before Totoul or one of the others do!" Trydon says with sadness and empathy.

"If I turn her what will happen to her?" Max suddenly begins to feel sick.

"Well if she does survive and does turn then you will have to take her to court on conjur and hope that they decide to show you mercy and hope that they don't kill her and that she might have some hope of use to them" synthetically explained Trydon.

"But brother , I can't risk losing her" exhales Max.

"You may not have a choice" he quietly responds.
