Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 161

Blake

I want to be with Nora again, but I can't...

She looked at me with those alarmed eyes. And for a good reason since something was and is still hap Something bad.

What am I supposed to do about it?

I'm pacing around inside a cave. I have no idea where I am. I don't even know in what part of the worl Will it ever stop?

It's slicing me apart.

Everything burns like a furnace, coils, and tightens inside me until I wish to die. How do I escape the p 'Blake... You can't escape from us...' The darkness thickens in my veins and snickers in my ears. 'We are "Then please, make the headache end! And stop whispering inside my head! I can't take it anymore! I 'Monster? You won't be a monster.'

"You're lying!" I shout back while shutting my eyes. I'm down on my knees and pulling at my black hai My wings aren't glimmering anymore but turning darker, and my black hair is longer while my muscles Would she be terrified of me?

Probably.

It's not that important. The pain is what takes up my thoughts.

ed, and we got plans for you. Brilliant plans.

ant to hurt anyone, and I don't want to transform into a monster!"

owing longer. "I can already feel this growing thirst for blood..."

enching. I have a feeling my eyes are purely black. What would Nora think if she saw me?

I look different. It feels like my canine teeth are growing larger. I cut my tongue on their sharpness a nago, and now I'm unsure what to do with my mouth. 'Blake... We, the darkness, we don't want blood. It won't sustain us for very long, and there is somethi we want.'

I blink. "Excuse me?"

'Flesh is what we are craving!

Discomfort crawls over my skin. The darkness can't be serious? What does it expect me to do? Shrinkan and eat them? I would never do that to anyone! "I can't... I can't give you that... I won't eat human flesh..." The mere thought of doing that disgusts me.

There are hungry snickers. 'Human flesh would satisfy us for a far longer time than blood ever could. You would only have to eat like one of them weak humans. It would satisfy us!

"I don't want to eat a human! What part about that don't you understand?!" I shake my head at the madness going on. "How would I even go about doing that, huh? Do I look like a predator?!" 'You have all the right kind of magic for it. You can shrink people and devour them. We would be waiting for them in dark alleys, like old school vampires, and bring them home!' "STOP!" I yell. "JUST STOP TALKING!"

The darkness laughs and snickers inside me. Countless voices are about to drive me insane. All I wanted was to be with Nora, and now this happens?

I find a corner of the cave and slump down.

There is a tiny patch of grass, and I shrink to fit there. It feels like home to be around flowers, but darkness spreads from my feet the instant I'm comfortable. What the hell?

My eyes widen, and my chest constricts when the green grass turns into a pale grey color. A second longer, and the flowers wither as well. It's like life got sucked out of the grass and the flowers. "What is happening?"

'It's only temporary... If you find a human to eat, or at least some blood, your body won't be bringing death wherever you go. The solution is simple, Blake.

I sigh heavily. "Isn't there any other way?!"

'Blood from your mate.'

"Say what now?"

'Find your mate, and their blood will satisfy us... It won't be as fun, but it will definitely do.'

Hurting my own mate isn't something I wish to do, but I rather drink their blood than kill someone. Is my mate still Erika?

"I might set out to find my mate then... After I've had some rest... I'm so freaking terrified..."

'Good night Blake.'

I open my eyes and find myself witnessing nightmares. They are about Nora and Leo making love, but the scene doesn't bring me happiness. No. Not when I wish to be part of it.

"I love you, Leo," Nora says as she lays down on the linen bedsheets, entirely naked. There is a glint in her eye. "And I want you tonight. Only you, not Blake. Only you."

Leo's smile turns wolfish, and Nora laughs in delight when he is over her, pushing her into the bedsheets. They are smiling and kissing, breathing hard, and loving each other.

'She will never be yours, Blake,' the whispers of the dark haunt me again. Even in my dream. 'You knew that when you fell for her too, she wasn't your mate, yet it didn't stop you. Nora is the one you want, even if loving her will be your downfall.

My chest constricts. Pain and jealousy are overwhelming me. I try to shut it out and block out how it makes me feel, but I can't. All I see is Leo's face as he smiles at Nora.

It makes the darkness grow stronger.

Anyone can feel jealous, but such a simple emotion can lead to terrifying consequences for a demon.

I can feel myself growing bitter already. My heart is turning black, and there is nothing I can do.

I want what belongs to the angel.

'Do you wish to kill him?' The darkness asks me. They aren't evil, but they listen to my emotions. I understand that now.

"No," I tell them, glaring into the stone wall. "Killing Leo won't solve anything, and I'm not weak. Do not underestimate me. I won't let this transformation turn me evil."

'We feed on your desires, Blake... We aren't evil, but most of your emotions are twisted, dark, and painful. They are what shape us. If you feel a certain way, we will make that emotion a hundred times stronger.

I take a deep breath, hissing. "There is only one thing to do then..."

'And that is?'

"Get over, Nora... And that means staying away from her."

'It's not that simple... The five demon princes want the girl. She is the only time guardian who can control her powers. They know this, and they want that power for themselves. She isn't safe-if you leave her, she might die. And then, she will be gone forever! "Then what should I do?"

The darkness snickers. 'That's up to you... What path are you going to choose, Blake? You decide, and we follow.'
