Pain Without Love by K Lime (best books for students to read txt) 📕

The group packs up there junk before heading down the stairs. On a couch sure enough Bethany is sleeping. Mikey grabs her a bottle of beer and wakes her up.

"Joe honey why did you ignore me?" She asks practically throwning herself towards him.

October steps between them and Bethany stops seeing the ring hanging from her neck.

"You have his ring?"

"He is my fiance."

"Have fun with that thought." Bethany sneers before storming back to her couch.

October and her group shrug before piling onto the section that the vamps usually claim. Soon people start coming downstairs to get drunk before leaving.

When it is just the vampires left October looks at Joe.

"I know your parents love you. But can you move out?"

"I'll be eighteen in two weeks. They want me out by then."

"Come live with me?'

"Can I say no?"

"You could. But it wouldn't be appreciated."

"Then yes."

October smiles at him before nodding to paul who does the whole vampire thing and manages to get tons of totes in like five minutes. They help Joe get everything packed up before moving it all into October's truck and some into Joe's car.

"Is that your bike?"

"Yes."

"That thing is expensive."

"Joe."

"Yeah right."

They laugh and pile into the vehicles for only the third time that night. Back at home October would need to move some of her stuff around for Joe to be able to put his things in her room as well. Mainly just put her books in order, arrange class pictures and that kind of stuff back into her study at her personal house, and make sure he would have plenty of space at both.

Once they arrive Joe gawks a little before helping them to carry things inside. October introduces him to everyone on the staff before leading him to their rooms.

"These are our rooms. You should find everything you need in the closet clothing wise. Anything you need just ask. I'll get you a card for the account but don't be stupid and go blowing money."

"Alright."

"Now i'm all for some of Paul and Ella's cooking in the kitchen. Want some?"

"I'm starving."

"We should get you some blood but I don't think you need a human until your bloodlust will be safe enough. We'll get you some food first then find you some blood."

"I thought you didn't hurt people."

"We don't. There are willing donors. And plenty of blood put back in blood banks and stuff. Or you could get an animal for now."

"You drank from another vampire."

"Angelita will not keep me full since she was weak. I would need a normal human for me to be satisfied. Jacobi actually let's me feed from him occassionally. I'm sure it is from him you will be feeding tonight."

"A dude?"

"Don't worry the whole arousal thing never really goes away but it gets better. Usually it doesn't cause embarrassment because most vampires know that it is just part of you. It happens."

"To you too?"

"Yes."

"Who is Jacobi?"

"I am."

Joe jumps and spins to face the figure in the darkness. Jacobi steps forward and comes to October's side.

"Looks like I get to play dinner for two tonight?"

"What?" October asks confused.

"You will need to get stronger to help him out. Fledglings are dependant enough when first changed. Mates will use you as a food source until they are safe enough. Since you turned him he will look to you for food also because you are his sire."

"I would ask if you would be alright, but you will stop him if he becomes too greedy."

"Let's go get some food. And Joe this is my sire, or the one who turned me, Jacobi."

"He was there tonight."

"Yes. Do not let me catch you hurting her."

They all head down to smell wonderful cooking almost halfway down. October laughs before taking off full speed to get her coffee that Paul had apparently just made for her.

Most everyone is down there and they all pile in around the table leaving the ends for Jacobi and October. People pile the food  on their plates and stuff their faces laughing and making polite conversation.

"So you guys going to eat tonight?" October asks the group.

"Most of us have decided yes. Some of us have decided just to bag it or wait."

"Bag it?" Joe asks between bites.

"Blood bag. From a blood bank."

Joe nods and continues eating. The group finishes up and they all try to help as much as possible with cleaning up. Which means half of them getting told to leave and go eat already by Ella. It seemed that only Jacobi, October, Jacob, Paul, Ella, Tony, and Gracie.

"Are you feeding him?" Paul asks October.

"No. He is."

"Just checking. Have a good night guys." Paul says to the group before leaving with Ella, Tony, and Gracie.

"Jacob?"

"I'm just checking on you. I'll be next door if you need anything." With that he heads up the stairs to his room.

"Ready Joe?"

"For?"

"I don't want a messy bed. I'd rather we did this thing down here."

"What do we do?"

Jacobi laughs and sits down in a chair. October hops on the counter and hands him a knife. Jacobi slices across his wrist. The blood draws Joe's attention and in a heart beat he is drinking deeply from Jacobi's blood.

October watches her sire carefully. He was strong but a fledgling was dangerous. Jacobi reaches down after about a minute and a half pushing Joe back. Joe growls and tries to go back. This being October's que she jumps off the counter and pins Joe down until he calms down. Once calm he looks up at her. She kisses him softly before allowing her fangs to enlongate and moves to Jacobi's shoulder. He was normally taller than her by quite a bit so sitting down was just the right height. She sinks her teeth into the flesh and drinks.

After a little while Jacobi tries to pull her away but she fights him. Her blood lust was very strong since she hadn't fed in a while not including Angelita. Jacobi tries to push her away again put she clings to him.

"PAUL!" Jacobi shouts.

Paul comes running in and pulls October off and slices his wrist allowing her to drink before looking at Jacobi.

"She has not eaten in a long time. Be careful. I will go get another elder."

The group inside the kitchen trades off on feeding October until Jacobi gets back with not one, not two, but three other elders.

October turns on the fresh blood as soon as the scent reaches her. She was starving. She drank deeply of the first two and slowly of the third before becoming full.

She curls up in Joe's lap sleepy. The other's regard her carefully. All of them slightly weak.

"Childe you need to eat more. That was very dangerous."

"It hasn't been that bad."

"You almost drained all of us. If it would have been just me I could not have fed you."

"I'm sorry."

"You have your mate to look after now. With so much vampiric blood you will be strong enough for him to get way ahead in his power. You will want to feed daily. Maybe two or three times. If you feed him twice with blood eat three times."

"ok."

"Go to bed Childe."

"ok. 'm sleepy."

Jacobi laughs as Joe kisses her forhead and nods at them before carrying October up the stairs.

"Jacobi it is dangerous to feed her. Her blood is becoming as strong if not stronger than yours." One elder says.

"It will be alright."

"If you kill yourself it isn't" The other elder comments.

"She and I will be fine. You know my reasoning."

"When you do go, will it be because she drains you?" Paul asks.

"No. She will only need to feed from me once a month for another year before her power out ranks mine. If you test her blood strength it is so much vampiric that the cells are close to matching the blood from the Cursed One."

"Are they related?"

"She is a decendent. We suspect she is the one to reunite vampires with our own world and ways."

"Why?"

"If you test her blood, the strength is that of a vampire that is my age. It was strong even before I turned her and her mother. It is her."

"Jacobi she is young." An elder says.

"But she knows it is her. She's spoken to him."

"You mean?"

"Yes."

"What exactly will happen?"

"She will drink his blood while in a semi sleep state that she has gone into herself. Then it will cause all of us to join her in the vampiric realm. You know the stories."

"I didn't think it was real."

"It's very real. We will all be safe. She will be very respected among the vampires but not necessarily treated as a queen unless she wants it. Which i doubt. I just can't wait to see Elicia."

"You will see her?"

"The mate rules will be re-established and by that they will be given another chance. If a vampire loses a mate there, they will be rematched with another. Usually another who has lost a mate as well. Sometimes not."

"Sounds harsh."

"It could be. But she will be fine."

"Goodnight."

"Night children. Sleep well. Check on her in the morning for me?"

"Always Jacobi."

"Goodnight."

"You left me. For many long years you left me. You ignored me simply because you did not want my love. You think that by them forcing you back that you can trick me into being foolish. You my childe are the fool. You will be forced to live by my terms and accept them, or become a slave and watch me be happy with another."

Those were the words Angelita heard before fainting again. She was very weak and as nobody felt the need to feed her she was not getting stronger. Thorn was angry. She had never liked him when he was angry. He was known as one of the most vicious vampires. He was not as old as October but yet he was well known.

She hated the fact that she loved him with a passion. She wanted to end it. So she ran from him. It had made him angry. But in turn he had made her angry. She would play nice. If only to get her vengance. October would pay. So would Jacobi. They would all bow before her. After all without their little "curse" to bring the curse to end where would they be....

The door opens inturrupting her thoughts. The room was rather lavish. A large four poster bed, large bathroom, large everything. It was an elegant room. Which meant it was Thorns. She turns and
