Chapter 12 – Angelina
Ienvied my sisterin a way, but then again, I didn’t envy the life she had to live.
I sighed as I turned from her, “I can’t remember the last time someone took my vein.”
“I know.” She went to sit on the couch, putting her face into her hands. “It sucks, it really does.”
“Who has taken your vein since Alex died?” I asked as I took a seat near her.
“You mean the ones that lived or died?” Her laugh was brittle. “Jacques Berger did once, and Clayton has. They are the only two that have survived.”
“Josh will be alright.” I told her.
“Will he? God, I can’t believe I let him do that.”
“Trust me, I understand. Sometimes I just want someone to take my vein because I feel so full that I will explode. I’d rather it kills them then for me to have to keep going on with that feeling.”
“But Cameron used to take your vein.”
“Yes, he’s older, not quite elder, but he’s older, and I think that back then when he did take it, my blood wasn’t as lethal as it is now. I’m not sure if it would kill him now if he took it.”
“I wonder what makes our blood so lethal.” She said just above a whisper.
“You know that the only thing that anyone can come up with is that we’re reborn. There are so few of us, that they aren’t able to test any theories.”
“That has to be the reason.”
I stared at her momentarily, “Do you think if you mated with a reborn, it would hurt or strength the blood?”
She turned to me, “I have no idea. Like you said, there aren’t enough of us around to be able to test that.”
“Someday I’d like to test that. Maybe I need to cozy up to Richard for a little while. I know I’m not you, but it would be nice to have someone around who could fulfill that desire.”
“He’s all yours.” She laughed, “I’m not in the least bit interested in him.”
“Yeah, but what about Hugh?”
“What about him?”
“You’re interested in him. Why?”
She exhaled loudly, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s because he makes me feel something that I haven’t felt in a long time. He doesn’t treat me like the Mistress.” She grew quiet, “He asked me to take his vein tonight, practically begged for me to do it.”
“Why didn’t you?”
“I told him that I wanted to forget the difference between us. I just wanted to be a woman desired, and with a man that I wanted to be with. It has been years since I have had that.”
“Yeah, I guess eighteen years is a long time.”
“No, it’s been much longer than that. Yes, I cared about Alex, and sex was great, but I didn’t feel for him what Hugh makes me feel. What Alex and I had was understanding and commitment.”
“You know you can’t keep Hugh forever.”
