Blood Dripping Fingertips by Meghan Escott (read ebook pdf .txt) 📕

obviously didn’t like me. They were staring me down and I just couldn’t stand the way Josh wasn’t doing anything.
I can’t believe what they’re doing to her, they know how I feel about her and there acting as if it was her fault we broke up. I told them as much as I could but not how I’m a murderer.
Josh was thinking. He noticed me looking at him.
I’m so sorry babe. I couldn’t tell them any more then I did. I want them as my friend who will protect me and that is what they are doing now. Protecting me, or they think they are protecting me. I need to see what I did to you and how much damage I’ve caused in your life like there wasn’t enough. You heard me didn’t you babe; I said that I loved you that night before you came round from your coma. I love you Lucy. I really love you.
“I can’t do this Sam.” I said turning towards him. I knew that he had heard what Josh had thought as well and he wasn’t happy about it. “I seriously can’t do this Sam. You just heard what he thought. I can’t do this on my own.”
“Don’t worry. I’m here and I always will be; to help you with magic, blood lust, mental activity. Anything. I will always be here for you Lucy. I love you. Always have and always will. You’re the reason I didn’t leave here when I was allowed to. You, Lucy, are everything to me. It breaks me to see you in so much pain and it killed me to see you and Josh or you and Tom together. I will protect your life with mine and protect your body with mine. Just don’t leave me. I can’t stand life without you now I have you. Please don’t leave me.” He said all this in a whisper into my ear so no one but me could hear him. I leant in towards him so I could whisper in his ear. “I’ll never leave you.” I whispered to him. He pulled away and walked me into the classroom because the bell had just gone.
I went in and sat in my normal place and Sam sat behind me at the back of the class. I did my usual magic and more. I had more strength then normal and Professor Heyla seemed to notice that my magical ability had increased. “Drinking the pure stuff?” She called across the room when everyone was trying to set things on fire. I, of course, could already do this and scared Professor Heyla when I had set her on fire. “Yes Professor.” I said back to her, slightly embarrassed that she was talking about my blood drinking habits across the classroom. I looked back at Sam, who winked at me and smiled. I smiled back at him then set his shoes on fire with a click of my fingers. He laughed while the fire spread up his leg and onto his chair. I clicked my fingers again and the fire burned out. He did thumbs up and I turned back to the class.
For the second half of the lesson, I had to work on getting liquids to move. I had five liquids each one more viscous then each other. I had to move them from one container to the next. Everyone had to do this but I completed it quite quickly so I started messing around with the water. I made it do spirals in the air and lots of different patterns. I made it hover over people’s heads without them knowing and letting one drop of the water drop onto their head. It was the best lesson ever.
As the bell rang, Sam stood up and pulled me behind him. He had seen the magic I had done that day and thought I was way over my head doing it all so freely. He hadn't warned me about the side effects of using magic too much. I was feeling drowsy once again and my sense of magnified smell caught a whiff of Sam's cool and bubbly blood. That sent me off guard and I got the attention of Sam when I turned to face him. Everyone in the room was gone apart from the two off us and Professor Heyla. He had cut his wrist and was beckoning me with it.
Professor Heyla was carefully watching us with intent to see what I would do Sam didn't want to have to feed me in the middle of the classroom with the Professor watching us but he had no choice. I was weak and I needed blood and Sam had no option of me breaking down in a corridor. He needed to do this now and we both knew it.
I looked over to him and my gaze met the blood on his wrist which was slowly moving towards me. “Don't do this Sam. I'm weak, I know but not here. Not in front of Professor Heyla. Please Sam. Don't do this. Not now.” I said this to him with no hope in my voice. He noticed this and shook his head. His wrist was almost straight in front of my mouth. I leaned forward, longing filled me. I wanted to have his blood. I needed his blood. But how would it affect me? I forgot about the wonder and put my mouth to his wrist and began sucking.


Chapter Twenty Five

When I pulled away from Sam, Professor Heyla just stared at me in shock. She had obviously never seen a student as young as me drinking blood so dearly and lovingly. She didn't say anything as I healed Sam’s wrist and thought at him very deliberately.
This is not over. You shouldn't have done that and you know it. Next lesson I'm going to say yes to Josh because he genuinely is sorry and I want him to see how much damage he really did to me.
Sam flinched and looked down. I glanced at Professor Heyla and saw that she had gotten back to her paper work. I looked back at Sam who looked back at me. I walked over to him and held his hand. He held mine back and pulled me into a hug. He started to mutter words of apology and 'it was the only thing I could do' kind of thing but that didn't matter to me. I was in an embrace with the man I thought I loved and I just didn't care about anything or anyone else. Just me and Sam in this moment together mattered.
A cough made us jump out of our world and look around to see that Professor Heyla was waiting to let her next class in. We left without any further warning and Sam led me to my Survival class. Josh would be there but I was ready to kick anyone's ass today especially with my rage with Sam. He had pulled it out of me but my first lesson to actually kick Josh's ass into gear suddenly brought it back.
As we got to the classroom door, all my classmates were very quiet and didn't talk to me. Everyone knew what a destructive mood I was in and didn't want to get in the way of that. The bell went and everyone filed inside while Sam held me back. “Don't do anything to hurt yourself Lucy.” He warned. “I know you want to show Josh what you can really do but don't hurt yourself in there. Especially in your condition.” He said pointing at my neck. I instantly put my hand up to it and felt the tender spot where Josh's teeth had sunk into my skin. Remembering that made me want to be sick but I stood up tall, gave a nod and walked into the classroom.
I got changed and looked for Josh. He was surprisingly easy to find. He was in front of my locker when I came out of the changing rooms and I walked over to him in a casual and calm way. He looked away from me and I knew what he was thinking.
How stupid am I to bite my beautiful and amazing girlfriend like that? What was I thinking? Although, she did help me more than anyone else ever did. I wonder if she is going to let me see what I did to her? I had never been given the opportunity to look at the injuries, just the death.
“Yes.” I said abruptly. I looked at his puzzle face. “Yes I will let you see what you did to me. You know what time I get off school. Come to my room then and don't be surprised if Sam is there.” I turned around and started walking towards the gymnastics mats while Josh stood staring at me and Sam at Josh. I rolled my eyes at both of them and looked at wall for what to do.
By the end of the lesson I was doing many complex tumbles going corner to corner while people applauded me and gave me wide smiles; no one bringing up the topic of my neck. I did see some people eyeing the jumper I had opted to wear with suspicion but Sam always tapped them on the shoulder and made then jump and look away from my neck.
The bell rang and I quickly went into an empty changing room to get changed. I came out quickly and found Sam who was talking to Professor Buttercup. When he saw he finished the conversation he was having and came over to me. He squeezed my shoulder briefly and led me out of the room.
I was fine in Magic Control and Professor Slakovitch congratulated me on my full recovery and on Daksha’s and Abbas’s magic test results. They both improved by 100 but neither of them were close to my full marks 500. I smiled at them cheerfully and continued with my magic. Professor Slakovitch made me do all kinds of things and I was exhausted by the end. I had been drinking blood out of a bottle but it wasn’t doing anything for me.
Five minutes before the end of the lesson, Sam called me to Professor Slakovitch’s office. I came in and he signed for me close the door. I closed it and locked it with magic and slid down onto the floor just in front of the door. He stood up immediately and came and sat beside me. He took my wrist in his hand and bit into it. He began sucking and I began to feel intense pleasure. I took his wrist into my hand and bit into it and began to suck.
Pleasure filled us both as we sucked blood out of each other. I was glad I had locked the door now. Some things must have happened while we were both feeling intense and undying emotion for each other because when I pulled back – a great effort- I was on my back on the floor and he was on top of me with no
