Coeur du Vampire
Chapter One: Burning in Water
The day I became immortal, yes I remember it well. Ruben asked if he could drink from me because he was feeling a bit weak and it had been a few days since he last fed.
“But won’t that turn me into a vampire as well?” I asked.
“Yes,” smiling he answered back, “It will. But don’t worry Isabella, I love you and we can live immortally together forever.”
So, I let him feed from me. It was like my whole life flashed before my eyes. It was exhilarating, really. It was the best feeling I’d ever had, other than being with my fiancé Ruben, or Benny as I sometimes called him.
His teeth sank into my vein. When he was done, he rose up then smiled with my blood on his lips. He kissed me and said it was my turn. He bit right through the vein in his left arm and I drank.
“Take as much as you need,” he said as he rubbed my head with his right hand.
I was scared at first, not knowing what would happen. Then, I slowly moved towards his arm asking myself if I was sure this was what I wanted to do.
“Don’t be stupid Isabella,” I thought to myself, “It’s all going to be okay. Just do it and be with Ruben forever.”
I raised my head, smiling at him. I put my lips on his wound and began to do as he did when he fed from me.
“Remember, you can take as much as you need. It’s okay Bella,” he reassured me.
When I finally pulled away, I looked up at him and smiled. He then leaned in and kissed me.
“I’ll love you forever Bella. Always, no matter what,” he smiled.
Isabella’s my name but Ruben likes to call me Bella. Whenever he says my name, it’s like music to my ears. I never want to let go of him. He means so much to me.
“Bella, how are you feeling honey?” He asked with such care in his voice.
“I’m feeling better than ever, Ruben. I-” I stopped, suddenly dropping to my knees. Right to my face, I went. My arms found themselves wrapped tight around my stomach. I had gotten this God awful, pulsing pain. I rose up, still holding my stomach and I looked at him painfully.
“Benny, is this supposed to happen? It hurts. I’ve never felt such pain!” This was true seeing how it was achingly horrible. It was like a freight train coming through the walls of my stomach.
“Bella, darling, it will only last a few minutes. Would you like to sit up on my knee while it hurts?” He was so sweet; he always was and still is.
“Only if you hold my hands and promise to make it better,” I groaned reluctantly letting go of my stomach.
“Anything you want baby.”
So, I sat on his knee, after wiping the blood from my mouth. My hands found themselves right back around my stomach. The pain had increased. He removed my hands and placed them within his. I leaned towards his body, resting my head on his shoulder, now crying.
After about three minutes, the pain stopped. I laughed softly then began kissing his neck. His hands moved from mine to my back, rubbing it softly.
“Bella, honey, I love you and we’re going to be together for the rest of our lives.”
After hearing him say that, I knew I was ready too. With all that’d happened to us lately, and that… I was ready.
I took his hand and placed it over my heart.
“Do you feel that?” I asked him, smiling.
“Yes, of course, it’s your heart beat.”
“It beats only for you. You really don’t have any clue as to how much I love you, do you?” I asked, as his faced slowly dropped in confusion.
“Why would you ask such a question? Of course, and I feel the same about you, Bella.”
I looked down towards the floor, not wanting to tell him what I had been keeping inside. He immediately noticed there was something wrong. I didn’t exactly have the right words to say. I sat, thinking of the best way to tell him so instead I just smiled. But he knew there was something wrong.
“Are you okay? You got quiet on me.”
I got up, and sat on the floor in front of him. I rested my head on his knee and put my hands on my stomach.
“Benny, well…” I stammered, still trying the right words to say, “I have something to tell you but I’m afraid to. I know I shouldn’t be, but I don’t know how you’d react.”
“You’re not… with… Bella? You mean to tell me after all this, you’re ending us?” He asked this, filled with raging hurt. I hurt me even more to hear him say that.
“How could you think that?” I said, crying.
“If his isn’t you breaking us apart, then what is it?” He asked, rubbing my cheek. He then kissed my forehead
“I uhm, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for making you think I was ending us,” I said, crying harder now. That still wasn’t it. I was so scared by this point, I wasn’t sure if id ever get it out.
“Bella, I’ve known you for too long to know that that wasn’t what you wanted to say.” He was right. He knew me pretty well.
“I’m… We’re…” I was still searching for the right way to start my sentence. At this point, I didn’t care. I looked him in the eyes and lovingly said, “We’re having a baby. I’m pregnant. I’ve know for a week now, and I was afraid to tell you.”
“A baby, you’re kidding? No, you’re serious… I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless, but I’m happy,” he smiled, and then kissed me. “I love you, and we will be everything to our child. I promise.”
