BloodLines

“You can go back to sleep Antje.” Oh yeah she was afraid of the dark… he thought to himself. Sighing he walked over to her and climbed back into bed with her. He was too afraid to leave her for longer than a few minutes and go further than a few feet. He couldn’t bring himself to go buy candles while she slept. It was like asking for someone to knock down his door a run off with her. Wrapping his arms around her he pulled her onto his chest gently, trying not to hurt her soar body. She probably really hurt internally still, regardless if her chest wounds had completely sealed up. “Don’t be afraid of the dark, because nothing is scarier in the dark then me, Lucifer Lancaster.” He said with a grin and a laugh. It was true, out of anyone in the world, a Lancaster was the last thing you wanted to run into in the dark.
 
Antje stuck out her tongue and wrapped herself around him again, the soreness seemed muted when she was next to him.


"I was very relieved to run into you in the dark, though. And you're not so scary when you're all cuddly." she murmured. She'd talk to him a little before she fell back asleep. She didn't feel as awkward as she'd thought she would laying next to him, even cuddling didn't feel weird. She'd never spent so much time with someone in her life, but she didn't see that as bad. She was Princess Zelda and he was Link. Sort of.


"If you want you can get up and do stuff when I fall asleep.." she added, her face practically buried in his shoulder/neck. She'd clearly found her favorite spot, and she felt like a weirdo cat or something. He smelled nice, like they complimented each other's scent. Not that he smelled appetizing in any way to her. She preferred human blood, even if he was slightly tempting. She hoped he wasn't so bothered by her scent.
 
When she cuddled to him closer he felt his stomach turn in embarrassment a bit. Was this going to be his life from now on? He smiled, he can deal with this. Pressing his face into her hair he took in her scents more. He was starting to feel light headed again. When she fell asleep he’ll go catch a breather in a bit. “No, I already told you I can’t leave you alone till we leave.” He whispered back gently. Ever since he had seen her mauled on the ground he felt like she really was a breakable kitten. “Did you know, I like cats. I always wanted to try and take care of one. Not that animals like Vamps or Werewolves.”


Soon he started to gently rub her back, hopping she will sleep before he completely goes under her scent spell. This will be the second thing he teaches her how to control next to hunting. If she could get this under control, he would not have to leave her at all.
 
Antje smiled. "Are you insinuating that I'm a cat?" him rubbing her back made her stomach become filled with butterflies. It accidentally got her body to lightly produce pheremones. She could sort of tell since he seemed like he was affected. She hoped it didn't hurt him or anything. She blushed to think that she wouldn't be terribly upset at another kiss, but it wouldn't be a real kiss; just his reaction.


"Why did you kiss me before?" she asked quietly. She wanted to understand. She didn't know why her pheremones made him kiss her and very nearly bite her. Was that her effect on other vampires? Or just him?
 
“You know how vampires have Pheromones to help put people in a daze, where a mere suggestion makes them want to do everything in their power to please us? They lose themselves in a drugged state, they can barely understand what goes on around them. Part of them goes numb.” He stopped rubbing her back, noticing that the scent around him increased when he did so. “Well as Dhampire, you have the same thing, except yours works specifically on Vampires. Yours basically entices other Vampires with your blood.” He paused, thinking that she still did not know anything about her blood.


“Your blood… Your blood Antje will increase a vampire’s power immensely. It makes them stronger and faster, its rumored even some super natural powers.” He voice shock a bit when he said that. He opened the link between them and shared his fear of power. The fear of corruption. The fear of turning into something horrible and unseen. Lastly the fear of becoming a monster. He needs Luke or he will be a monster. Without Luke… Without the human personality half of him he would be nothing but a blood sucking creature.


His grip tightened around Antje as he grit his teeth. He wished he never was a Vampire sometimes.
 
Antje hugged him tightly. She wished she could do something to make him feel better. God, she could influence other vampires? News to her. She would always be careful. And he clearly didn't see how much Luke had changed Lucifer. But she could see why he would be fearful. On an impulse she kissed the only place her reach would allow, which was just a little bit above his jawline.


"It'll be okay, promise." she murmured, hoping she didn't make him uncomfortable. She just wanted to try and reassure him. She cuddled to him again, her heart beating awkwardly in slight embarrassment.
 
He felt embarrassed, when she had kissed him, he wanted to kiss her back. On the lips. But now was not the time… no he was still fighting his own feelings, now was not the right time. When he can come to terms with himself he will confess and kiss her. When He can help her get her own powers under control he can tell her how he feels. Right now he just needed to get her away. “Sleep again Antje, sleep as much as you can right now. We need you to get your strength up. When you parents send word and everything we need to travel, we will disappear even from their sights. From there we will try and settle else ware. Or travel, whatever your preface Miss Antje. We will feed on the plane, who ever sits next to us trust me. The first stop we will make me your guardian. I don’t want to risk feeding here.” His sudden spout of the plan he so tenderly thought of, he just wanted to get her bound to him and get her to safety.
 
Antje closed her eyes and laid her head near his. She had no idea where to go. She'd never been out of the city. She'd never been on a plane. "Where do you wanna go?" she said, closing her eyes. Her hand came up to gently pet his hair. Her body didn't pheremone out when she touched him. But if he touched her? That was weird. She was worried about that.
 
Where would he want to go? “Somewhere safe I suppose.” He said. Not very helpful or relevant to her question. “I guess we will figure out from where ever your parents send us.” He sat up, he was getting fuzzy headed. “Is there anything you really want to take? Because we can’t take a lot with us. I usually just take whatever I am wearing and then take a train until I don’t feel like I am being watched. Build up from there.” With the money they should be getting, that won’t be hard.
 
Antje thought about it. She wished she could take her art with her. But you can't bring walls. But she had her new sketch pads from Lucifer. She'd definitely want to take those with her. She wouldn't be tagging anywhere for a while. She'd need to pack herself some clothes, and her little photo album. Not very much, but enough to travel. She'd buy a new iPod and laptop eventually. For now she'd disable her iPod's wifi and use that, but she was pretty sure it had a tracker that activated with the technology.


She was sad to leave, even if she'd always wanted to leave. She showed him her travel list throug the link. He seemed fuzzy, and she immediately felt guilty. I'm sorry! Are you okay?
 
“I am fine, when I get like this it would be best to give me negative emotions through the link. It will help keep me alert. At least not trying to molest you, In less you want me too then that’s fine too.” He said, going back to his old jokes. “But really, we need to get that under control. I sadly have no idea how to began to go about helping you do that. Seriously, most vampires just kind learn on their own. Most of us control ours through feelings. I think.” He said, not completely sure. “Just give me a few minutes, I will be right back.” He said, getting up and leaving the room for a bit.
 
Antje happily obliged him, sending how bad she felt that he had to leave the room because of her. She'd get up if she could, but she was still really tired. Her stomach growled and she lifted her shirt to glare at her stomach. The deeper cuts on her sides still had the appearance of welts, and she couldn't imagine being hungry for anything.


I think if I change more, I'll be able to control it better.


​She sighed.
 
You will be able to. He said encouraging her, also trying fight the urge to comfort her. Do you need to hunt? I really really really don’t want to hunt here anymore, but if you are hungry, I will go get a human and drag them back here. Pacing a bit outside the room he thought about what he could too. He can just seduce some chick like usual and then just bring her home. That usually takes longer than normal…


By the way… would you want to drink from a male or female? He asked suddenly, leaning on the door.
 
Antje blinked. "Whuh..what?" Well that was awkward. She pondered for a moment.


"Well..aren't women easier to cajole?" Men usually had a weird, ruffage-type taste. She wasn't very thirsty. "Well, do you have any meats? Then you wouldn't have to go." she knew he wanted to stand by and comfort her as best he could. She was touched by how devoted he was. He was really a dream come true.
 
“Well…” he thought for a moment. “Women are softer… their skin is easier to pierce. Men have more flavor though, When they take care of themselves. Women use a lot of perfumes and lotions, makes their blood taste strange sometimes. I guess blood is blood, women are just easier for me to catch because… well… you know…” He shifted from one foot to the other and then walked to her and picked her up.


“Anyway… no eating in my bed… so we will go to the couch.” Walking out to the living room he sat her on the couch and then quickly walked into the room to get some meat. Earlier in the year, he threw a bunch of snow in the fridge, which made it a lot colder than usual. Coming back he opened the package and then sat down next to her. “To be honest, the best ones to eat are the ones who just go done from the gym or running…. Their blood is flowing the most then.” He said, ripping the meat up in pieces for her. “I read that you will grow some proper fangs in a few years. So I will be hunting and biting for you until then.
 
Antje ate a little, and it certainly felt good. She blushed to bring it up, but she'd read that some vampires would..seduce humans. "Tante said that people who've finished exercising are easiest. She said that a lot of changelings or darklings sometimes sexually stimulate their host." she'd be pretty terrible at that. To Antje sex was unrealistically about love. She could never do that to a stranger, even if it were a faster, more efficient method. Vampires were practically sexual creatures. But where did that leave her?


She got excited just holding hands with someone. Not very excited, but it definitely brightened her affections for Luke when she held his hand.


"I don't think you'd have to bite them for me," she added, "If I carried knife and knocked them out and cut them from behind, it would be a lot less messy, and they wouldn't remember much.."
 
Lucifer coughed, “Uh… yeah Tante is…er right.” He would admit he did that for years, when hunting he enjoyed it. He would hate to admit it to Antje, because it would probably make her mad. “I won’t lie, it is an extremely easy method. I mostly throw them in a daze. Mostly…” When he lived at the castle, he shamelessly did such things with their blood slaves, but when he got in the real world he became more aware. Women sometimes were not as willing, so he tried never to go to far.


When she brought up knocking someone out and cutting them, “No no nooooo, Antje. That will attract hunters like you would not believe! Human cops too. Seriously, let me catch your food for you, please. Besides…” He was going to say ‘I need to watch you while you feed so you don’t kill anyone.’ But went with, “it would be easier and less dangerous for you if I picked who you feed from. Make sure their blood is not tainted. I will teach you while we wait for your fangs. We will get your pheromones under control too.” Maybe he should let her practice on him. “Do you think you can cut me now? So I can get the guardian powers? I don’t care what is on my back, we can just put an X.”
 
Antje looked at him warily. "O-okay... I've never..Er, marked anyone but myself..." she pulled her shirt up to show him the visible, large rose tattoo poking above the hem of her jeans. "Which is kinda a good sign that I have some venom in me, but I don't think it'll do as well on you because there's nothing familiar in you that would correspond to me..." she looked down, a little anxious. Well..maybe if you bit me and took some blood it might work better...But that'd make you less of a guardian and more of a master... But she couldn't see it working any other way. But maybe him taking blood from her would lessen the effects of her pheremones on him. (So maybe she could kiss him for reals and not get him fuzzed out...)
 
Completely ignoring and dodging the fact she just offered blood to him, Lucifer laughed, You are thinking too much about this. He thought to her. Putting the meat down on the counter, Lucifer took his shirt off and threw it on the floor. Walking into his own room he brought back a rag. Walking into the kitchen he brought out a knife. Sitting down on the floor next to her he handed her the knife.


“On my right shoulder on my back, make a cut, let what eve blood is in my body now leak out. Make sure you cut deep, no pansy scratches. If you want to cut a design by all means, it’s going to hurt for me either way. After you are done, cut yourself a bit and just pour some blood on top of the cut. If it burns and scars over in a few hours, then we know it worked. If it does not leave a scar, because vamps don’t scar, then it did not work and we can try something else.” He finished. He wondered if she could even see what she was doing, though he was close enough to her she should. He turned around, “Go head, just do it.”
 
Antje took a deep breath. She took the knife and made a cut on his shoulder, the size of the swallow design. He smelled good, but she hated to realize that. Sometimes vampires' constant bloodlust made her feel like a mindless shark.


She wiped the blood with the towel and she bit her lower lip hard enough to bleed. She did the same with her tongue, drawing blood and a little bit of venom.


Carefully she licked at the cut, her blood and venom reacting to him. She saw it mark him, and she watched closely as the swallow design materialized in black ink, as if a professional tattoo.


"You okay? Does it hurt?" she asked quietly.
 
The dagger hurt, but not as bad as he though. Antje was quick about carving whatever she decides to carve in his flesh. Lucifer shivered when he felt Antje lick him. He would have savored the moment is a searing burning pain did not appear soon after. He was not expecting for this to work as fast as it did, nor the way it did.


“Does it hurt? Nah, I am just peachy right now.” He lied. Besides the burning in his whole body, he felt dull pain around his stomach and chest. It did not hurt, but he was aware of the pain. It was a strange feeling, feeling pain but not. That was the only way he could describe it. Must be Antje’s Injuries, the wired phantom pains.


Standing up he sat down next Antje then leaned over and put his head on her shoulder. Taking a long breath he put the cut meat back on her lap. Man he hoped the burning did not last long. He made sure the link was tightly shut. “Make sure you eat the rest of that blood.” He paused and then laughed, “How did my blood taste?”
 
Antje smiled, even though he was faking. "Better than humans or meat." she stuck out her tongue. She really wished he'd taken her proposal of him taking blood from her, because it would probably hurt him much less. He really did taste good though, and it was rare she ever thought blood tasted good. His head on her shoulder was unexpected, but she liked it anyways. She finished what was on the plate quietly, wondering what it was like to be on the guardian's side and what new telepathies might bring with it.


She knew he felt almost as sore as she did, and she wished she could make both of their pains stop.
 
He laughed, “Glad you think I taste good.” He said, man he was in a lot of pain. He had not felt so much in years. His shoulder burned and it felt like it was zapping most of his Energy. “When you are done, we will go back to bed… until your parents send us money and tickets.” He said. When she did finish, he did exactly as he said and fell asleep several minutes later when they laid down. He has no idea the ceremony was going to be so draining. He hopes it will be worth it later.
 
Antje woke up with her legs tangled with Lucifer's, to her embarrassment. He was awake, too, and the amusement on his face made her blush all the harder.


"..hi." she quietly spoke. She decided on giving up on untangling her legs from his. He didn't seem too bothered. "How's your shoulder?" she asked, ignoring their almost suggestive twining. She had a feeling that they were leaving today, and she wasn't sure how to feel about that. She ached less but felt like her legs were like cinder blocks. Oh boy. Planes. She'd never been on a plane, or out with so many other people.
 
Lucifer smiled and then placed on her face an envelope. “Look what you parents dropped off for us.” Rolling over where he was on top of her he smiled down at her. “Your parents are sending us to Organ in the Untied States of America. We will be going to Minnesota. Say good bye Italy Miss Antje. Can you walk at all? Don’t answer that because I already know you can’t.” He said in a rather proud tone. Sliding out of bed he began to pack things.


“My shoulder is doing great. I was not expecting what happened to happen… but that’s ok. What’s done is done and it worked.” He said again. When he was finished packing he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to sit up on the edge of the bed. “We will take a taxi to the airport and catch a flight in a few hours. I think I want to get there early just to make sure everything goes as planned. Are you ready?” He finally asked. “Also, forget about the feeding on the plane, stupid plan, it won’t work.”
