Blood Bond

Ezra's eyes flitted between the two vampires in front of him.

Never in a million years did he think he'd be in a situation like this.

He had to pick which vampire lady to be with for the rest of his eternal life. Not only that. He can choose other ladies too.

He looked up, sending a prayer of thanks to the lord. Many men would kill for this chance.

The silence stretched as he pondered.

"Don't choose her Ezra!" Genesis broke the silence as she tried to convince him. "You'll be getting into a battle you can't handle."

"And you think you're any better?" Olivia raised an eyebrow. "Everyone knows you'll be dead in a week without coven support. We're in the same boat, Genesis. You can't deny that."

Genesis gritted her teeth at Olivia's words. "AIright. If I can't have him, no one else can have him."

Silence filled the alley.

"You'll kill him?" Olivia said in disbelief.

"Yes."

A cold feeling descended as the two women stared at each other. Ezra shivered as he heard that.

"W-w-wait a minute. Let's not do that. There's enough of me to go around. Why don't we do this?" He suggested, scrambling for a way to save his own skin.

"I'll sign with both of you. Since there's no exclusivity clause, there's nothing stopping us from signing together, right?"

There was silence as both vampires heard him. "It can't be that simple, right?" Genesis asked Olivia.

"You want to share?" Olivia asked in surprise.

"This is the only way we can both get what we want." Genesis leaned forward like a cat.

"We both need a coven now, Olivia. This way, we get strength in numbers. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty desperate. Will this even work?"

"I don't know." Olivia frowned. "I've never heard of a coven with three leaders. All coven leaders have a blood bond. Will it work with three?"

"Only one way to find out."

"Wait a minute." Ezra asked, looking between both women. "You want to perform an experiment on me? Explain this blood bond to me."

Olivia stared at him like he was an idiot. "We are going to be bonding with you through blood." She said.

"Ah." Ezra nodded. That was… self explanatory.

Then, he asked what was in his opinion the most important question. "Any chance of death?"

"Of course, you'll have to die." She really had the idiot stare down pat. "Have you forgotten the dead in undead? What part of becoming a vampire don't you understand?"

Ezra frowned at her tone. That wasn't what he had been asking about and she knew it.

Everyone and their grandma knew from pop culture that vampires were undead creatures and this meant that they had to die first before becoming vampires.

"Don't worry. Your death won't be painful." Olivia assured him.

"Weeeeell," Genesis drawled, "the pain will be very, very tiny."

Ezra frowned at her. "Now, you're just trying to scare me."

"Before we continue, let's sign the contract." Olivia nodded.

Both ladies exchanged contracts and scrutinized it to make sure that one wasn't taking advantage of the other.

Ezra couldn't have found better lawyers.

After the examination of contracts, they all signed with a bloody thumbprint.

"Let's begin." Olivia kneeled in front of him.

"Okay." Ezra nodded. "There's no need to fear death. Life is all about risks after all."

Olivia leaned forward, exposed her fangs and bit into his neck. With a slurp, she began to drink his blood.

Ezra shuddered as a very pleasant feeling began to tingle from his neck. In a word, the feeling could best be described as… euphoria.

A few seconds passed before Genesis spoke up.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't drain him! Leave some for the rest of us." She pushed Olivia out of the way.

Olivia knelt by the side with a look of pure ecstasy on her face. With blood dripping down her lips, she looked even more like a demon. An incredibly beautiful demon.

"I feel faint." Ezra muttered as a wave of dizziness came over him.

"Don't worry, it'll all be over soon." Genesis licked her lips as she looked down at him.

She grinned before straddling him. With a crazy smile on her face, she cupped his cheeks.

Leaning forward, she pressed their forehead together, stopping when their lips were barely touching. "Let me show you a hint of what's to come, Ezra." She whispered sinfully. "Forget Olivia. Focus on me. Only me."

She kissed him and Ezra replied like a starving man in front of a plate of food. Her mouth had a subtle taste of iron, sending a pleasant tingle down his spine.

She broke the kiss with a big smile. "Get ready, Ezra."

She inhaled the crook of his neck, taking in the alluring scent of the blood hidden under his skin and bit down opposite where Olivia used.

The increasingly familiar feeling of euphoria spread from his neck, to the rest of his body as she began to suck his blood.

He sighed in pleasure, a stupid smile appearing on his face.

But the more Genesis drank, he began to feel a familiar darkness creeping at the corner of his vision.

It was like a message to his brain, jolting him awake.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute," He called out hoarsely. "Wait a minute, I think, I think..."

Before he could finish, he began to feel the lethargy creeping in as he grew slower and slower.

"Hey, get off. You've almost killed him." Olivia's voice echoed like she was speaking from underwater.

Ezra watched, his head spinning.

"It's time." Olivia slashed her wrist with a claw that grew out of her finger and put it in his mouth. "Drink." She commanded.

With a gulp, the tangy iron blood flowed into his mouth.

He could feel his energy replenishing. With every gulp, a wave of energy entered his body. After ten seconds of drinking, Olivia was replaced by Genesis.

"Drink." The white-haired vampire crooned as she stroked his hair. "You'll be my salvation."

After drinking to his satisfaction, he sighed, wiping the blood stains from his mouth.

He felt amazing. He felt like he could stand up at any moment and race non stop till the next morning.

"Is that it?" He said, looking at the vampires in front of him in confusion.

"Remember that teeeny tiiiny pain we talked about?" Genesis asked as Ezra nodded. "It's about to arrive."

"Huh?"

Sizzle!

A flame ignited under Ezra's skin and an indescribable wave of pain hit him.

Before his blood curdling scream could rend the air, Olivia was already there in a flash with a hand over his mouth.

Ezra could feel the blood of the vampires slowly cooking him from the inside as all rational thought fled his brain. Even his brain was on the verge of collapse.

With a hand over his mouth and another at the back of his head, Olivia leaned forward. "Be reborn." She whispered.

Then she snapped his neck.
