Chapter 39
Rebeccas POV
After training so hard, I took a bath. I waited for Bryan to get back from what he was doing. He then explained the ceremony to me. I was prepared for whatever I needed to. I was not happy about the amount of blood that I had to consume; however, I would do it for him. We then got ready for the dance. As we walked down the stairs to the dance, everyone was staring at us. I was shocked that they were staring at us. The music was beautiful, slow, and nice, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. I sat down at the table, enjoying watching people dancing. Bryan and I danced a few times. Being close to him and smelling his scent was amazing. I wanted to take him upstairs and make love to him.
I could see the lust in his eyes as well. My thoughts were going from making love to him, and also to the amount of blood that I would have to consume tomorrow. I didn't want to go into the feeding frenzy he said might happen. There was no blood moon. It was a full moon. I found out that young vampires came into their first change on a full moon. I did not want anybody to get hurt. Bryan had said that there were a couple of humans who had been sentenced to death, and tomorrow might be their execution date, depending on my thirst. I knew that he was actually going to bite me and, this time, release his venom, where I became a full vampire. I wanted to either be a full vampire or go back to being human. I was late on my period. However, my periods have always been irregular. So, for me, missing a period was OK.
I will just keep track if I don't have a period by the beginning of next month, then I will worry about being pregnant. Right now, I'm going to enjoy myself. Bryan and I were dancing. It was a beautiful thing. The lights were dimmed. I believe that there were just torches lit. Vampires don't really like bright lights. The torches kind of had a romantic feel. I was staring into his eyes. I could see the lust in Bryan's eyes. I'm sure that he could feel the same thing. I wanted to make love to him right now. I knew that I could not. There were some vampires that were hiding in the corners of the room, making love. You could smell their lust. It was actually a disgusting type of smell. It did not smell good at all.
Even with the smell of food and blood, it was not pleasant.
" Can you tell the people in the corners to stop having sex?"
" No, I can not."
" Baby girl, it is acceptable to do that sort of thing at parties like this."
That was disgusting. Why on earth would you want to have sex where you could possibly get caught? I mean, we all do it; however, I prefer to keep it a private affair. I knew that Bryan did not want anyone else to see me naked. I did not want anyone to see me naked either.
"Baby girl, what's wrong?"
"I'm thinking about you."
The truth is that I was thinking about him. I was thinking that he grew up in this life. I did not. I grew up wearing dresses that showed my boobs off. As a gypsy, we would invite people to watch us dance. That is what I needed to do here was just dance.
" Bryan, can you have them play some of the music I dance to?"
" Sure, baby."
He walked over to the band, and they started playing music I was used to dancing to. I started to dance. Bryan sat back and watched me dance. It was good to move my hips again and ance. Everyone at the dance stopped and watched me dance. They all seemed mesmerized by the way I was dancing. It was nice to open up and just feel the music. I was starting to enjoy myself. I was really getting used to dancing when people started to join in. I was shocked. A lot of the vampire women knew how to dance to music. I knew that gypsy music was popular. All the girls were dancing and enjoying themselves when a man approached me. He took out a knife and held it to my ribs.
" Rebecca, you need to come with me."
I have no idea who this man is. I had never seen him before.
"I'm your brother, and you need to come with me."
He's my brother. I was unaware that I had a brother. Why do I need to go with him? Why is he trying to take me at knife point? There was no reason for him to be doing what he was doing.
"I'm not going with you."
I turned myself onto the knife. It stabbed me in the ribs. It hurt, and I dropped to my knees. Bryan was already there at my side and was carrying me up the stairs. I could hear fighting in the dance hall. What is going on? I knew whoever that man was, who claimed to be my brother, was getting beaten up. He had touched me, and nobody touches me unless Bryan says so. I also got stabbed, which was not a good thing. I had intentionally stabbed myself so that I could get away from that man. I was upstairs in bed getting examined by William.
" Get me some water."
People were running around getting water and bandages. I started to feel woozy. I was losing a lot of blood. They started to give me cup after cup of blood to drink. Vampires heal faster with blood in their bodies. William started to get the bleeding to stop. He started to stitch me up. It hurt like hell while he stitched me up. I kicked and squirmed while he did. Bryan was holding my hand, telling me I was strong and that everything was OK. How could things be OK? I had gotten stabbed by my own doing, but I still got stabbed. Whoever said they were my brother was not true. I had a stepbrother or someone who called himself my brother, but he was also a bully, mean, and nasty. This man was not him.
" Bryan, what's going to happen to the man?"
" We are going to interrogate him and find out who he really is."
I don't know if he is a vampire. He did not seem to smell like one. Vampires smell like blood and death unless they use something to mask their scent. I was so confused at this point. Bryan brought me a glass of wine with that white powder stuff in it. He did not mix it very well. It was still sitting on top of the wine. I used my finger to mix it better, then I downed the wine in one gulp. I licked my finger and lay down. I knew that I would be asleep in a matter of minutes.
