Fallen

“Will you turn me now?” Ian asked hoarsely in the darkness of the bedroom. The smell of sex still lingered in the air, although it’s been hours since that.

Jared listened to the heavy breathing for a minute. He knew he went too far this time. He had to make the decision: does he want to become the father of a creature, another freak that was like him in nature? Does he want to change Ian’s life even more? Does he want to condemn him to an endless life filled with blood, death and silent suffering? Does he want to create another murderer, another leech that tortures and eats up people? He should have stopped. But he couldn’t. He tasted so damned good and he wanted to become one with their now beloved pet that he lost control.

“No” he finally answered drily and looked away from the actor. He didn’t want to see accusation, pain or confusion in the blue eyes that he got used to during the years they had Ian around. Maybe it was supposed to happen this way. Maybe it was time for them to part. Nothing good lasts forever – that Jared had to learn the hard way during his long life. His race was no exception from under this universal truth either.

“Why not?” he heard the barely audible question from his left. He could nearly feel the life leave Ian’s body. Only a little from his own blood wouldn’t be enough to save him anymore. The options were clear: live as a vampire or die as a mortal – and hopefully find some peace, not like Jared’s troubled mind.

“I made a promise to myself and Shannon a long time ago that I won’t put this curse on anyone else.”

“So…” Ian started but went silent, feeling dizzy from the huge blood-loss. He was surprised that he was still conscious. “… you’ll let me die? This was it?” he finished his question, not knowing how to feel or what to think. These two became difficult anyway. He felt oddly light-headed and tired at the same time.

“I’m afraid it was” he murmured looking back at Ian and although the expression on his face was neutral and emotionless, the actor saw the sadness in the big blue eyes that he always liked.

“Then… go.”

Jared blinked at him. This reaction surprised him. “What?”

“You’ve… heard me… I don’t want you… to see this” he gritted through his teeth then closed his eyes, showing Jared that he closed the conversation too. He didn’t want audience – especially not him – for what was to come.

Jared nodded and got out of bed, putting his clothes on and walked to the door. There he looked back at Ian once more. He looked as if he was just sleeping, but the faint scent of death and decay were already starting to invade Jay’s nose and mind. It was time. He closed the door behind him. He’ll have to live with this decision for the rest of his long immortal life, but he knew he’d eventually get used to it and put Ian’s figure on the shelves of his memories. “I made the right choice…” he growled and got out of the house, walking out into the garden just to take off into the night.

Ian was drifting further away from reality. The room’s familiar features got blurry and he closed his eyes once again. He knew he was dying. He knew that he should have been angry with Jared for leaving him here to die, but he couldn’t find anger in him anymore. Only his racing thoughts stayed with him. What will his colleagues, family and the world think once his body will be found? Or maybe the brothers will get rid of it and Ian will become yet another missing person whom no one will ever see again? He saw how the Letos disposed of the bodies they sucked dry. And will Zac be the new him? The pet that will live and travel with them in secret? Because – even if they considered the younger actor as Shannon’s plaything – until now he just appeared every once in a while to have fun and stay only for a few days or a couple of weeks tops.

Something went very wrong, Ian knew. He was… disappointed. He surrendered himself to Jared and his brother. He’s been a good pet for them and he thought… he hoped that these strange creatures loved him enough to make him stay with them as their progeny. Because they were capable of love, he saw that in their eyes when they looked at each other. Ian thought that everything he’s done for them would matter something and they wouldn’t forget and abandon him like this. Though he understood why Jared didn’t want to do this. He didn’t want to spread this disease further. This invisible virus that lurked underneath the surface of their inhuman bodies. He wanted to spare those unknown lives Ian would end as a vampire. Or… was it that he got bored of Ian and wanted to move on with tying the loose ends – his thread of life that was soon coming to an end?

Ian couldn’t be sure. They were after all monsters. They killed to survive, they sucked the life out of their victims to prolong their own. There was nothing romantic in it. Now it sounded silly for Ian expecting more. What was he thinking? That he could come out easily and unharmed from this fucked up situation? He should accept his fate. He should let it go and drift into the unknown. He didn’t know if there was something more awaiting him on the other side or if the lights would only go out and end scene – but soon he’ll see.

The only problem was that he didn’t want to die yet. He was still young and his heart belonged here with these siblings who showed him another world and such things about himself that he had no idea he had in him.

Someone was there. He could feel it. Someone touched his body, although he didn’t feel it with his skin – he just somehow knew in the dark he drifted into meanwhile. Something warm and powerful slid down his numb throat. It burned his insides. He knew this taste. He felt the strength slowly coming back into his limbs. Now he felt, not just knew that he was lying in Jared’s bed. He came back, Ian thought still with closed eyes as the warmth was still touching his dry lips and throat. So it was happening after all? What made him change his mind? Did he love him too after all?

He felt his heart swell with relief as he got more and more conscious. He wanted to thank him for this gift that slowly but surely filled him up with the strength he stole from him earlier. He wanted to tell him how much he’ll treasure it and that he will be a good progeny now that death was loosing his grip on him. He was saved at the end!

He opened his eyes to look into the shiny blue irises he knew like the back of his hand, but the shock set in since the blue was golden-brown and calm.

“Shannon…” he whispered.
