No escape - Anne Louise Guest (scary books to read TXT) 📗

“Really” I was impressed.
“Have I lost my powers” I asked.
“No love you are still as you were just new and improved” he said seriously.
“What do u mean” I growled at him. “Did I just growl?” I asked. Basically Joshua and who knows who else chose to save me and the only way to do that was to turn me so now I am a god dam vampire. Secondly all the vampire’s I stole the powers from have recovered but slightly diminished but Joshua said that will return once they have aged a little. So basically all the power that I stole I had held on to for to long, I then fed it into Alex who was not strong enough to hold it needed a new host and chose me being the nearest mage. I don’t feel this new power but I sense its there.
“How’s Raul” I then ask.
“You mean Kath” he corrects. I shut my eyes as the pain flashes through me “Kath has passed as you know” he informs me.
“I’m tired” I tell him as I lie down to settle back into bed. “The pain of losing Kath was too much that I wanted to hide even from myself. He surprised me by kissed my head and leaving only to promising to check in with me later as I would soon need to feed. I closed my eyes and let the darkness take me away again.

I woke again and felt warm and safe. I wriggled down further into my bed and felt arms wrap around my waist and pull me closer to a firm male body. My whole body went stiff not knowing who I was sharing my bed with. I tried to turn to look at the male in question.
“Sleep Sarah you need the rest” my companion said. My heart fluttered as I would have recognised that voice anywhere.
“Joshua” I state “what you doing here?” I ask him.
“I was sleeping” was his very annoying answer that made me turn to face him which he let me do this time but still pulled me close. He looked relaxed and at the same time tired.
“What are you doing here?” I ask again not believing he was with me.
“I was sleeping Sarah next to my life mate” he followed his statement by giving me a gentle kiss on lips. He went to pull back but I flung my arms round him and pressed my lips firmly against his making the kiss now full of passion. He moved and covered me pressing my body down into the mattress with his own weight that felt wonderful against me. I felt his arousal against my stomach but didn’t want to push him just in case he left me. He pulled back and I let him this time but our bodies remained close. He rested his head against mine and whispered my name.
“Mr Palmer” I whispered back to him causing a growl to rumble through his chest, he kissed me again but with more passion. I tried to press closer trying to pull him even closer to me, but again he moved away this time taking his weight off me to lie at my side.
“You make me forget myself Sarah” he said still not looking at me.
“Is that good or a bad thing” I held my breath while I waited for the answer,
“Just then very good” he turned to look at me with a crooked smile upon his lips. “We need to talk first Sarah so please behave” he added. I didn’t like the sound of this but kept my lips sealed. Taking it as consent he spoke again.
“I turned you myself making you a member of my coven just has Kath was” he said and I nodded in understanding. “Your first feeding is immanent and we usually feed from our sires. In your case I’m offering to give up my right if you would prefer another in my place.”
I was completely shocked and it must have shown as he became very still and watched me intently.
“You didn’t want me; you said I had wasted time I had endangered everyone and then trying to make Raul offer himself to me. Why would you want to feed me? Is it revenge or punishment to get even with me?” I had started to cry and Joshua had gathered me into his arms.
“shhhh” he softly whispered to me while his hand stroked my back “I understand why you did what and why you felt you couldn’t trust me. I had opened myself up to you and then moments later you then to reveal a plot to destroy all that I had worked for I was beyond angry.”
“I’m sorry”
“I was even angrier with you for the stunt you pulled at your brother’s club. You would have died Sarah don’t you ever do that again” his voice slightly wavered as he said my name.
“it was bad enough that you had escaped Raul but to then go and try kill yourself along with that sick bastard of a brother I was worried and I realised that I wanted you and had to get to you.”
As his words sank it occurred to me “how did you know where I was and what I had planned?”
“Raul had reached me and told me about you knocking him out which may I say he is rather put out with, but I had a call that I couldn’t ignore.” he answered.
“Did she give a name?”
“No” he replied.
I thanked Trinity in my head and promised to pay my debt. I felt Joshua move beside me and my full attention returned to him. “What about us?”
“I know I want you, and my body burns for yours. I care for you enough that I want you safe and by my side but I cannot give promises of love as I don’t know if this is what this is. Sarah.” He wanted me but he didn’t know if he loved me, could I live like this I thought to myself. His voice turned cold and unfeeling as he continued “lets just take it a day at a time but be warned Sarah I don’t usually give second chances if you hide things from me again and put my house in danger again then there is no going back.”
“I understand” I looked in to his eyes and tried to convey my acceptance of his rules. He smiled leaned into kiss me, before he made contact with me a pain shot through me drawing my legs into my stomach forcing a scream out from between my lips. I heard Joshua talking to me but not understanding what he was telling me the pain last a few more moments and gradually faded leaving me exhausted in Joshua arms.
“What the hell was that?” I asked as I buried my face into his chest.
“ it’s the hunger you need blood if we starve ourselves we suffer pain as our body tries to devour its self and that’s what’s happening to you” he told me “the pain is more intense as this will be your first true feeding.” the pain started again and made my whole body cramp. I held on to Joshua to ground my self, the pain past and I could feel the sweat drip down my back and between my breasts.
“Well let’s get on with it” I managed to say once the pain had stopped.
“It’s not that simple Sarah” he said as he sat up with his back against my head board and pulled me up to settle me against him. And that’s when I noticed that he was naked which immediately had me blushing. “If you take my blood Sarah because of my earlier bites and love making you would be bound to me as I am already bound to you. That’s why we don’t feed from one another so no mistakes are made” he added once both of us were settled. Before I could answer another bout of pain shot through I leaving me even more drained than the previous one.
“What if that not what I want?” I ask.
“I would fetch you a human or another to finish the change.” he answered simply.
Again the pain hit me, there was less time between each episode and the pain was more intense.
“I will have you any way I can get you “I ground out when I was able to talk again.
Joshua put me away from him and reached for a small silver handled knife and bought it his neck, with a quick movement he cut across his neck and collar bone leaving a red trail where the
