My Dark Angel : Chapter 05

"If I die and we are mates how would he live with himself, he said before it would destroy someone to lose their mate"

He smiled and I grinned weakly back, before changing I didn't want to express those questions yet. Maybe it was because I was afraid of the answers he may have given. Instead, I changed the topic
"How do you become your mate?"

He smiled and I grinned weakly back as he looked at me then said,
"We would have to have sex and exchange much blood soon after. It is the same way for two vampires as a vampire and a human."

I though on that and then asked,
"Has my taking your blood made some sort of link between us?"

He nodded, then said slowly,
"I am able to sense your emotions and it strengthens our feelings for each other."

My mind moved quickly, thinking it explained why I trusted him already. But I didn't want to think that all the feelings were because of our link by blood.

"Was the love I felt for him because of the bond? Did he love Marcus?"

"What were you like when you were still human?" I asked hesitantly.

He smiled, but I could see the tension in his shoulders as he said, "It fades over time but I remember that I had private piano lessons and went to church in Dublin where I lived. I remember my sister and my mother and father. I loved running in the green fields near my aunt's house, but the individual details have faded."

I knew I had more questions but I wanted to digest all he had told me. Louis took his turn to ask me questions.
"What is your favourite Shakespeare play?"

I thought that an odd question out of all he could have asked, but quickly said, "Richard the Third, what's yours?"

He answered, "The Merry Wives of Windsor."

We continued to ask each other questions about likes and dislikes as we steadily learned more about one another.

I found out that his favourite piece of music was Allegri's Miserere. He described some of his travels around the world after 1948 when he though Marcus had died. He visited Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain, France, China and many other countries.

I listened intently to his stories. He had spent 64 years travelling after Marcus' supposed death.

I spoke as well and described some of my favourite pieces of music many of which were on the violin.

While Louis was describing one of his many stories, I toed off my shoes and moved my leg under the table and ran it up his leg. He stuttered and whatever he was saying cut off. I moved my foot over his crotch, he leaned back in his chair and I slowly rubbed teasing circles with my foot.

He growled and I felt him go hard under his jeans. I pulled away after a short minute because most people had left the cafeteria. I moved round to his side of the table and kissed him lightly on the lips. I smiled seeing how his eyes had grown slightly darker than their usual green.

Everybody seemed to know my name wherever I went in the school, word seemed to have traveled fast, about how I had vanished with Louis yesterday, and now seemed to give me a wide berth in class, that was apart from 1 boy who kept winking at me in class.

He was probably the one who kept throwing pencils at me, but my spell held out against it, but I did notice a slight drain in my strength each time a pencil collided with me, I considered spelling him but that seemed slightly drastic, I have no idea how to do any complex spells, and any of the powerful spells at the my current skill level would probably kill me.

As I was walking towards my next class a boy walked into me and froze, I looked up to see a boy face to face with me, a buzz seemed to emanate from him when our skin touched, I looked up and his eyes locked with mine he exclaimed

"You have magic, don't you"

I nodded then he smiled

"Hi I'm Niclaus a descendant of the Uthar coven, and might I ask from which coven you are descended?"

I thought for a second still trying to take in the information just presented to me

"I am a descendant of the Danaro coven and Hakara coven"

his eyes widened in surprise when I said Danaro and even more so when I said Hakara, he whispered quickly

" I have never heard of someone descended from two covens, the Danaro in itself is an extremely powerful coven but combined with their rival the Hakara, how long have you known you have had magic?"

"Less than a day"

"So new? But when I touched you I felt so much power, so powerful yet inexperienced, allow me to be the first from the Uthar coven to greet you, I have a warning for you, there is a blód drincere in the school he does not seem dangerous but I warn you that he would make a formidable enemy, judging by the amount of power you possess to him your blood would smell irresistible"

I laughed out loud

"I already know that there is a Vampire, I know him more intimately than you, in fact it was his blood that awakened my magic"

I said, he looked as though I had just slapped him,

"I thought most people knew that I had been hanging around him but obviously not everyone has."

I left him there with a look of shock on his face as I continued to my next lesson which was chemistry.

The class was half full when I arrived, and I took a seat towards the back of the classroom and waited for the class to begin, Louis strolled in casually a god in flesh, he spotted me at the back of the classroom and strolled up to join me.

It hadn't been long since I had last seen him but It felt good to have him near me, his hand found mine and he rubbed soothing circles on the skin it, he leaned against my shoulder and moved towards me neck gliding his nose along the skin of it and inhaling.

He sighed in contentment before gently kissing my neck, he leaned back and caught my gaze, he whispered quietly

"So hard to resist you have no idea, I just can't wait to bite into it again"

I laughed under my breath,
"Louis if someone has magic does it change the taste of their blood?"

He nodded before saying
"Some things change the taste of blood but magic has a more desirable taste than other causes. You are the sweetest that I have ever smelled, I am guessing that you have a lot of power at your disposal, you just need to learn how to channel it, but I will be with you to help you"

I thought about this for a second before continuing

"Are there any other witches at this school?"

A grimace crossed his face before he responded
"I have not been entirely honest, not only are there other witches, but there Is a whole coven of them which migrated here from russia 18 years ago. They are the Uthar coven, not the most powerful coven but not weak either, they are around 40 in number."

"They tolerate me." he continued "But have made it clear to me that I should 'clean up my mess or face them.' What they do not know is that I am the governor of this area. I am in charge of keeping order among the younger vampires and to make sure that they clean up their mess."

"I met one of them, Niclaus he seemed nice, he said that he sensed my power when he touched me but Louis, why are you keeping such big things from me? You're the governor of the vampires in the area and didn't think I'd like to know that? I am surrounded by others who have magic, a whole coven full, and you didn't tell me. What else are you keeping from me? Do you have other progeny? I want to be your mate, but I want to make sure that I will be an equal to you and that you will treat me like a mate and not a child."

Louis lowered his head then his eyes flickered towards the door, Niclaus had just walked through the door, his eyes flickered around the room, they found me at the back of the classroom and I nodded at him, his eyes met Louis and froze.

He began to move again a few seconds later and took a seat in the middle of the classroom, his shoulders remained tense until the teacher walked in and began our chemistry class.

The teacher was a middle aged man beginning to go bald, short and chubby.His voice seemed to match his appearance nasal in tone, "Right then, since this is our last full day I think we will have a more relaxed lesson. First, I believe we have a new student with us today." He looked down at his register to read my name, "James Almer," he said raising his eyes to search the to the class for a new face.

I groaned as he looked around and I stood up and waited for the rest of the class to notice me. I wasn't surprised when the teacher to call me to the front of the class. I spared one look back at Louis before walking to the front of the classroom, where the teacher introduced himself as Mr. Hobbs and told me he was the head of the chemistry department. When I reached the front of the class, he asked me to introduce myself to the class.

"hi, my name is James I come from England as you can probably by my accent"

I answered a few more questions from Mr Hobbs and then I returned to my seat at the back of the class. I was unsure why, but Louis had a smug smile on his face when I sat down next to him, Mr Hobbs had decided to watch a film for the lesson, he pulled the blinds and turned off the lights leaving the room in darkness.

In the darkness, I moved my hand towards Louis, I knew he could see it, his eyes were better than any humans but it was the fact that the rest of the class could not see us was why I did it, my hand found his leg in the darkness.

I squeezed his leg affectionately feeling the cool skin beneath his jeans, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, I ran my hand up his leg slowly causing a low growl to emanate from his chest, my hand reached his upper thigh, each second coming closer to his crotch.

When I reached it, he groaned a little too loudly and was rock hard beneath the fabric which was an achievement in his tight jeans, I leaned over and whispered in his ear, close enough that he felt my warm breath on the cold skin of his ear and neck
"I just wanted to make sure you're ready for tonight I want tonight to be just between me and you".

I moved upwards to his jawbone while rubbing my hand over his cock.
I found his lips cold and soft, his hands moved to cup my face and pulled me closer towards him, his tongue pushed against my lips, I accepted him eagerly and sucked on his tongue coiling my own around it, his lips moved from mine and down to my neck.

I pushed him away a few minutes later and tried to slow down my heartbeat, his hand was over my chest a few moments later, feeling my heartbeat through my t-shirt, I sighed and leaned back in my chair as he rubbed my chest gently.

I leaned towards his face and then quickly moved and nibbled on his neck and then planted a kiss on top of it. We resumed our original positions as the film on the screen began to end and the lights came on. Louis and I only remained in contact through our hands.

I pushed him away a few minutes later and tried to slow down my heartbeat, his hand was over my chest a few moments later, feeling my heartbeat through my t-shirt, I sighed and leaned back in my chair as he rubbed my chest gently.

I pulled his hand up to my face and pressed it against my cheek, he curved his hand around my face and his thumb stroked my cheekbone affectionately.

We resumed our original positions as the film on the screen began to end, the lights came on and me and Louis only remained in contact through our hands.

"Feel grateful I altered their perception of us, or else they wouldn't have been quite so oblivious" he said quietly

We left the classroom and Louis kissed me quickly on the cheek before he rushed off to his ethics class. I moved to my locker and dumped my books into it before I grabbed my geography books for my next lesson.

I was walking down the corridor toward my next class. I was running late and there was no-one in the corridor except for three boys who were leaning against the lockers on the opposite side of the corridor from me.

Their eyes flickered to me as I walked past, the one in the middle was clearly the leader of their group, his hair was greasy and off black, the other 2 looked like brothers with brown hair down to their collars, as I passed them the leader laughed and then said,
"Fucking faggot, I see you found that gay prick, Louis. If I had a chance I'd stick him in a hole and leave him to fucking rot"

I stopped dead, it was one thing to insult me, I was used to it but as soon as he insulted Louis I immediately moved to the defensive and dropped my bag on the floor.

The walls on either side of me were lined with lockers, I felt confident that I could fight off 2 of them maybe the third, I had spent the past four years slaving over my body in a gym, taking countless runs and lifting weights. I was grateful for it because they had already begun to surround me. I knew I was in trouble because I still didn't know if my magic could help me. I wondered if Louis could sense my concern. How would I get out of this?
