A Woman Turned

“Just tell me. I don’t care if you have to go into details. Just tell me what the hell is going on,” he stated.

I took a deep breath, trying to figure out what to say. Did I trust Donte with the information I was about to give him? Was he going to be able to handle this? I honestly wasn’t sure.

“Are you sure you can handle what I’m about to say?” I asked.

Donte looked at me with curiosity. He was probably trying to decipher what the hell I meant by that. Especially since, I was comfortable with telling him anything.

“It’s fine Alice. I’m not going to judge you or treat you any different. I’m a friend, and honestly you don’t have to worry about what I’m going to say,” he explained.

I believed him. I truly did believe him. He didn’t seem to have any malicious intent. Plus, he didn’t seem to be jealous of Ryan or anything. Despite my worries, I was going to let him know what was going on.

“Well I went to see him, and when I got there he did make a remark about my appearance. I told him it had to do with work, and he believed me. I wanted to just leave, but there was an urge inside of me. It was almost like a carnal urge that wouldn’t go away. I thought I was going mad or something, but soon I was making out with Ryan. I wanted to have s*x with him, even though it was something that I never did with him before. We had a weird relationship when we were together, but neither of us was willing to take the next step. We had s*x, but after that I still felt unsatiated. I felt like my body was moving on instinct. It was then when I did it. I bit him, and he looked at me with a shocked and disgusted face. I was so ashamed I didn’t even stay to talk. I ran out of there,” I replied.

Donte listened to me. I didn’t see any hate or annoyance on his face. Maybe he was okay with hearing these types of things. I was worried to talk about this sort of thing, but Donte seemed happy to hear. He shook his head.

“I was afraid this might happen. That was part of the reason why I didn’t want you to go. Humans and vampires have a hard time getting along. They don’t mingle well together. I’ve seen it firsthand. I’ve seen the hatred that humans have for vampires. Most of the time, it’s a very irrational hate, but I can tell that most of them are scared of what we are. There is also the factor of us needing blood. We all love to bite, and when you smell a human’s blood it will intoxicate you. You’re a young vampire, so it’s even harder to resist. I have trouble resisting the urge to bite humans as well. It’s an instinct we all have, and it’s another reason why humans and vampires can’t coexist,” he explained.

I listened to this in an intent manner. I couldn’t believe that Ryan and I wouldn’t be able to be together so long as I’m a vampire.

“Did I turn him when I bit him?” I asked.

“Was there blood?”

I shook my head. “No. He just yelped and gave me a look of shock and disgust,” I explained.

Donte sighed in relief. “You didn’t turn him. If you broke the skin, then we might have a problem. One of us would have to drain him before he completely turns. And I don’t think you want to do that,” he replied.

Sh*t. So if I didn’t pull away when I did I could’ve turned him. Or even killed him if I didn’t stop. It scared me to think that I saved his life just now.

“Damn. But I realized after I did that it’ll be harder to even be around humans. There’s no way I could go to work, and there was no way I could have a relationship with Ryan. That’s why I wanted to come back here. I wanted to end my old life. At least until things settled down,” I explained.

He nodded. I wasn’t going back to Ryan after I ended it. Regardless of if I turned back into a human or not, I didn’t want to be with someone who was disgusted when he looked at me. I wanted a man who would accept me for whatever I was.

“Well, I think the best thing to do at this point is to end everything. Then we can get the hell out of here. But thank you for telling me Alice. I know that was probably one of the hardest things you’ve done, but I do understand. Hell I lost my wife when I turned. We had to get a divorce, and when she found out about the vampire thing she called the cops. Raphael heard about it, and he swore to protect me. They had a fight, but eventually she conceded and let me go. It was hard, but I know that I couldn’t go back. Not just because of what happened with Raphael, but because we were too different. I didn’t want to risk killing her,” he replied.

Hearing that shocked me. So Donte was married when he got turned. That’s got to be harder than my situation. At least in mine I didn’t have to worry about paperwork or anything.

“Well I’m glad you’re safe now,” I said.

“Thank you. But yes, you should end this now. Can you call him from here?” Donte asked.

I nodded and gestured to my phone. “It should still work. I can call him from here,” I replied.

“Do that, and then we’ll figure out what to do next,” he stated.

I nodded, grabbing the phone and dialing his number. Ryan’s was the only one that I remembered. After hearing it ring three times I heard his voice.

“What do you want Alice?” he asked.

He wasn’t happy at all. He was still mad about what I did earlier.

“I wanted to talk to you. It’s important,” I said.

“Yeah, I would love an explanation as to why you bit me earlier. Seriously, what kind of sick fetish do you have?” he asked.

I didn’t think biting was a sick fetish, but that’s just me.

“Well I wanted to tell you that I don’t think we should see each other anymore. I don’t feel comfortable around you. Things have changed, and life has become more stressful. I don’t think I can handle it,” I said.

Silence was the only thing I heard from him. I took a deep breath, hoping that it might turn out okay. It had to turn out okay, it just had to.

“I think that’s for the best Alice. You’re nice, but I don’t think we’ll be able to connect in the way that you want to. You have kinks that I don’t, and I don’t think we’ll be able to mesh well together,” he replied.
