He was right there in the doorway when the drop of blood fell from John’s finger onto the counter. Erik noticed as he looked around nervously and turned to a vampire. Only a drop…it would only take a drop…one single drop…he could give her everything she ever wanted.
He, the oldest and most powerful vampire in North America, perhaps the world, could give his wife a human child…human…normal for all intents and purposes. But could he do it. 4000 years was a very long time. 4000 years, new viruses, new pollutants…he had to…what kind of husband would he be if he didn’t give her the one thing he could never give her as a vampire; his own human seed. It was a risk he was willing to take…
When John turned his back, Erik froze time. He slowly walked up to the drop of blood and touched it in the middle, to get just a very smallest amount on his finger. Hopefully it was minuscule enough that John would not notice. He stared at the droplet as he turned and slowly walked up the stairs, down the hall and to his private wing of the house where no one but he, Artemis, their hybrid child, Joshua and his youngest vampire child Gunnar were allowed to be.
He continued to stare at the droplet as he entered their suite. It was only then that he spared a glance at his sleeping wife. She was so beautiful, so…human. She deserved this, more than anyone else he knew. He curled his fingers in so he could take off his shirt without losing the precious drop of blood, then changed into a pair of black silk sleep pants with great care.
He climbed into the bed with his wife and looked at her for a moment. He was about to start time again but thought he had better turn his back to her because from her own reaction, the transformation was painful and he did not want her to see weakness in his face.
He turned over on his other side, took a deep breath and started time just as he placed the drop of blood on his tongue. It was the sweetest drop of blood he had ever tasted. No wonder John was known as everybody’s singer. But his enjoyment was not long lived as he was suddenly filled with the most excruciating pain he had ever felt in his life. He fought not to cry out as he felt things in his body begin to wake up, beginning with is heart, then his lungs.
He felt his veins open and begin to fill with blood instead of venom. He shook with agony and gritted his teeth, unaware of his surroundings, lost in the pain. His body suddenly broke into a sweat, his nerves began to jerk and send shooting pains through his body. He gasped and struggled to keep himself still. This went on for hours until finally, the pain was so intense he felt like he was going to go mad, thankfully, he was finally human enough to pass out.
