Description
Just before Nicole could strike the stake one final time the door downstairs slammed.
Vlad had forgotten his set of poker chips and had been putting off coming back to get them until now. Mina had been scolding him for the hour since they left to go back and only now he had broken and agreed to come back. The momently the couple walked in the door it was obvious something was wrong. The smell of infected blood filled the air.
He ran upstairs and nearly ran right into Nicole. She left Thomas, who was still curled around Sarah, back arching and groaning from the awful pain. The woman reached to her belt to grab another stake but Vlad grabbed her by the wrist. She screamed and dropped the weapon as her wrist cracked.
The vampire very firmly considered killing her. She deserved it. He thought of all the monsters she had probably killed, all the families she had taken from, almost his own even! But a slow and villainous smile creased Vlad's brow. She would pay in blood, yes, but a much more worthy fate awaited her afterwards.
Mina, not wanting to watch whatever Vlad was about to do, ran over to her daughter and stepson. She was amazed that Thomas was still alive. The woman pulled Sarah from under him. The girl was sobbing in fear. "Shhh, its okay honey." She rocked the little girl gently before setting her aside to attend to Thomas. He dug his claws into the stone. The ground was wet with his blood. "Hold still." She said slightly apologetically and gripped the stake. Thomas didn't get to react before she ripped the piece of wood out of his back. He screamed in pain one last time before collapsing with a deep sigh. His body immediately began to heal itself.
Nicole only had time to think of her son and husband, and what would become of them, before the vampire leaned in close. She expected death but was surprised that he didn't tear her throat directly out- but he did bite into her neck savagely. She screeched in pain again as he began to drink. Soon the world was beginning to fade in greys and whites and she thought he was simply draining all her blood, and cursed herself for her carelessness. But he pulled away.
The vampire slit his wrist with a fang and forced it against her lips. "Drink." He commanded angrily. Nicole realized in terror what was going on and pulled her head back, weakly refusing. He rubbed the blood over her lips. Now no matter what she did she would end up drinking it. "Drink, human." He said again and glared at her, bringing his face close to hers. Nicole's eyes fluttered at the smell of her blood on his breath and sadly did as she was told.
As soon as the blood was down the human's throat she felt herself begin to change and screamed in pain. She writhed, once again thinking of her son and husband. The ones she would never see again. Now she would have to leave them and live as one of the creatures she had hated for so long.
****
Nicole's consciousness slowly returned to her. The woman blinked the grog away slowly and realized she was lying in a coffin. At first she could not remember what had happened but did, and wished greatly that she hadn't. Now her throat burned and the woman would have to face it- she had been turned into a vampire for her crimes.
"Are you avake?" Vlad had to keep himself from saying 'human'. "...Nicole."
The woman sighed sadly and nodded. She managed to sit up and face her new reality.
