I couldnt help but stare into Tamani's bright green eyes. They were the only things keeping me from letting myself fall into the dark nothingness that was overcasting my vision. Tamani moved across the room, his dark black wings shadowing behind him.
You could see every feather, every detail, but with my blurring vision it was hard to focus clearly on. He reached into a droor and scuffled around in it for a few seconds before pulling out a butchers knife. What the hell is he doing? I thought. Suddenly he took the tip of his knife and drew it across his wrist.
The seductive smell hit me imediately and i screamed at an ear peircing pitch. The heart stopping scream was enough to slow him down, but not enough to stop him. He was going to want me to drink it, and as much as i wanted to, i refused to. He strode across the room to the side of my bed.The sweet smelling blood grew even stonger as the captivating scent made my head swirl and my body tremble.
"Drink it" Tamami said.I threw my head in the opposite direction.i was actually refusing blood. Blood that healed my body, that helped me get through hard times as a vampyre, and i was refusing it." Drink my blood Auroura. If you dont you'll die. I cant let that happen to you!" He screasmed the last sentence an i felt a single, salty tear of his drop into a slit on my neck.
And with that, he pressed his wrist against my mouth. The flavor exploded on my mouth and all the things that happened in the past three hours hit me. Cole had befriended me. he'd had me in the right place at the right time. he'd attempted to slit my throught, tied me to a boulder and rolled it into a raging river. Tamani had saved me just before it was to late and here i am drinking his blood for strength.
I yanked Tamani's arm away from my mouth and started to calm my breathing. He swiftly drew his tounge down the cut on his wrist and it immediately started to clot.
"I'm so glad I changed you. If i hadn't there would've been absolutly no chance that you'd still be alive." My vision started clearing and i could finnaly see those gorgeous green eyes that have captivated me for so long. i extendend my wings a little bit and drifted into a dreamless sleep.

When I woke I was in a daze. I could just barely make out Tamani's figure at the foot of the bed. His superman like hair, and those dazzling green eyes. How long had he been sitting there? Had he been there all night? He shifts his weight and somehow notices that im awake.
"Mornin' sleepy head."He cheerfuly announces. For a second I'd forgoten how to talk. I only had a few seconds to get myself together before he would worry.
"How long have I been out?" I ask, but it's all slurred together, like my tounge had swollen up or something.
"You sound like your drunk!" He exclaimed with a giggle. "Oh and you've been out for about two days," He continued with more laughter, "and the morphine should wear off in a few minnutes."
That last scentence enraged me. Tamani knew I hated morphine. It made me groggy and I couldn't remember anything once he gave it to me. I slowly started to sit up, and as Tamani is telling me that sitting up could lead to future problems, I punch him smack in the jaw.
"Crap! Dammit Auroura! what the hell was that for?!" He Shouted. I furiously glared at him.
"What was it for?! Why dont you ask the morphine?!" I was screaming right in his face. I could see pain in his eyes. Not from the punch but because I was right. Morphine meantally messed with my head.
"Auroura, I am so sorry. I, I didn't know. I forgot. If there's anyth-" and at that moment I leaned in and kissed him.he tasted of smoke, cinnomon, and something else i couldnt place- but it was sweet, and i liked it. For a moment he didnt say anything.
"Thank you" Tamani said. Thank you? Thank you for what? I didn't do anything for him.
"For what?" I asked.
"For giving me that small speck of hope, that someday, you'll truly love me." What he didn't know, is that that day, was already here.
