So, for six days he was stuck in a hospital bed with no chance of escape Tubes and monitors were stuck in his went off and people ca He almost cried He needed to eat and a variable buffet caony

As was the first two days of visitors Endless visitors came People he didn’t even know ca After the first minute of each visit he "nodded off" It was either that or let thery he was Finally he put his foot down and demanded to be left alone Mrs Bucknore his wishes

For the last four days he had to put up with Mrs Buckman and a few of the other renters The children tried to come, but ran off within the first thirty seconds when he started screawas also the only thing that saved thery He just needed a few pints to force the poison out and heal his wounds God, how they itched His entire body itched Six days of sponge baths That was bullshit How could they call that a bath? He sross He could feel the griain

Blood

He needed blood If he was stuck here for a week then he was out of luck He hadn’t been here to accept his blood deliveries Every two days at three in theblood was delivered by an unmarked van

After two no shows they wouldn’t make another attempt to deliver until he contacted them with a new safe drop He needed to call them to setup new delivery So, now he had no hopes of blood being delivered He had to suffer another week But that wasn’t his greatest fear If he didn’t keep everyone out of his rooe to feed was overpowering everything else His control was almost nonexistent

It would only take Madison for the last thread of control to snap Of course, she wasn’t likely to see him She didn’t even try to see hiies and flowers, but didn’t come He tried to tell hied her for some blood either hers or so he wouldn’t beg If she ca to take

His eyes drifted to the adjoining bathroom door She could at least check and see hoas That wasn’t too much to ask after all he did take a wound for her She probably didn’t think much of it She knew he couldn’t die, but did she realize that he would still feel every ounce of pain and nothing in the world could take the edge off his pain but blood? He was suffering and she couldn’t even bother to see hi pissed

"Fuck her I don’t want to see her anyway" But he did He really did Never ht and day He wanted to see her He wanted to see her brown eyes light up when he annoyed her

She was so cute when she’d attacked hi about her She was funny, smart and kind But she was a human, a human whose blood screamed for him and him alone He could never have her She would never be his

He wanted to kill someone He needed to hurt someone This was too much There was a reason he didn’t allow attachht Once he was healed he was going to leave and start over He couldn’t handle the pain and disappointment

"Wow, you stink"

Ephraim forced his eyes open "What?"

"I said you smell," Madison said istered as in his roorabbed her He dragged her down He couldn’t fight it any longer He was starving and his obsession was here He didn’t even stop to consider if they were alone or if he could stop in time He needed her too daistered that she wasn’t screa on her own That was odd

"Here you go, open up," she said as she stuck so in his mouth He froze, shocked at the sensation

His eyes left her neck and moved down to the object in her hands He chuckled weakly She stuck a straw in a bag of blood He suckled, slowly savoring the taste of type O blood hitting his lips, his tongue, the roof of his mouth and finally down his throat He closed his eyes and ood, huh?" she chuckled He nodded but didn’t stop sucking The straas too slow He took the bag away fro hands He pulled the straw out with histo his teeth He chugged the red liquid down until he had every drop "More" It was a deo" She sat patiently by his side while he finished ten bags of blood He couldn’t help but notice how adorable she looked in those cute little cotton shorts of hers Finally he burped and sighed He was done
