"I want blood," the words continued to repeat in his mind like it was stuck in a loop he couldn't escape from, all while she stood towering over him, her face so close he could feel every breath she took.
Every time she inhaled his scent like a starving animal finally smelling food, as she said before, she was hungry
Sooo fucking hungry
And he just so happened to smell like her favorite food Blood
Now he knew why she was constantly trying to get away from him: she was starving for blood and him. He smelled like nothing more than what she wanted.
He was covered in the scent from head to toe as his already dried blood stained his clothes and masked his actual scent with a cologne of blood.
She was looking down at him, her primal yellow eyes treating him like he was the only thing that mattered in that moment, and to her, he was.
She didn't care that she had practically just undressed in front of him or that she had told him something that was really none of his business
Age didn't even care that they were still standing in the school's hallway while everyone else was in one class or another. No, the only thing that mattered in that moment to her was him and how good he would taste
He could feel her tail start to wrap itself around his leg; it was soft and fluffy even though the hairs didn't seem to have much volume when you looked at them, but its hold was still firm, refusing to let him go
Just as her eyes locked him in place, drinking in the sight of him along with his intoxicating smell
But even with her towering over him and holding him in place, his expression still didn't move much, only showing a bit of interest and surprise
Because even though she was holding him in place, she didn't bite him, she didn't lunge, and she didn't rip him to pieces to get what she wanted
She just stood there drawing in his smell while her body shook from being denied what it was craving
But as she closed her eyes, took one more long, deep breath, and opened them again, it stopped.
Her tail released his leg, her primal yellow eyes scanned his empty black eyes once more before she took three steps back and sat down against the wall again
He stood there expressionless for what felt like three minutes, letting her relax before completely ignoring that he had almost been sucked dry asking
"If you want blood so much then what, just get it from the school" he posed for a second seeing she didn't say anything he continued
"Don't that give Vampires and some of the other races blood packs every day?"
This time she did answer her voice filled with frustration and anger "Yeah that does, but those are only for the students who "need it" or whatever, can you believe it"
"And you're not classified as someone who "needs it" are you"
"No by the school's standards, I don't, so I have to pay for them"
This is what truly surprised him if she could still get it then why not just pay for it instead of being miserable was she too poor
"Then why don't you just pay for it, are you too poor, can you not afford it?"
As soon as his words entered her ears her head shot up locking eyes with him, her face screaming offense
"Who the hell are you calling a poor bastard!, If I beat you the fuck up and take all your money then would I be poor"
Her voice was filled with anger as how dare he imply that she was broke, you didn't just go around saying stuff like that but it looked like he didn't get the memo as he continued to look at her blankly
Even though her anger and obvious threat his expression didn't change much as he turned out his pockets saying
"I don't have any money"
"If anything, I am the poorest person in this school"
The air went quiet as she looked at him displaying his financial status until eventually her laughter collapsed that silence
The sound was sweet and beautiful but was followed by words that were made to put any man down
"Haha, well no wonder you always look like shit"
But it didn't really matter to him as even when she pointed and laughed at him he just looked at her saying in response
"We all wear the same uniform"
To which she didn't hear or at least pretended not to as her laughter died down plunging the hallway back into silence before she broke it once again wiping a tear of joy from her eye
"No, I'm not poor"
"I actually make money by winning the bronze league every month, I'm surprised you haven't heard of me, have you and your friends ever been to a match before?"
"I don't have any… Friends, and I have never even heard of the bronze league before, but if it makes you enough money why not just buy the blood packs then?, You look and sound miserable"
"You think I don't know that, If I could buy them, I would but for the last couple of weeks the school has stopped selling them"
"Why"
"Apparently they have a shortage in town, not a lot of people are going to the hospitals to donate blood for some reason so the school is only giving it to the races who need it to survive"
This made him think for a moment "And Chupacabras don't need it to live?"
"Yup, we don't"
"If you don't need it, then what's the problem?"
"The problem is… is…, everything else tastes too fucking bland"
"What"
"Yeah everything else just tastes like bland sludge, I don't understand how you all eat everything with a smile on your faces, when all I taste is nothing if I'm lucky and eat meat"
"Everything apart from meat just tastes disgusting, but blood, depending on the type can taste anywhere from sweet to just savory, and sometimes both oh those are the best ones"
"Ok then why not just get blood from someone, if the school won't give you"
While he thought it was a simple solution to her it was nothing more than a joke
