my hand. Even though he talked about me like I wasn’t there, he knew I was and through that one movement, I knew that he loved me.
“It is a thing that has to be done. Procedure, that’s all. Usually, newly turned vampires don’t storm out like that.” When he said that last bit he shifted his attention from Tom to me and stared straight into my eyes.
“How are you going to be able to help me? What are you going to do to me?” I asked him looking straight back at him. He had longing in his eyes and he was showing that want to me. It took me a moment to understand that longing but as soon as I did it disappeared and he was staring at me with cold and hard eyes.
“I’m going to teach you the vampire way. I’m to help you learn your strengths and weaknesses and what to and what not to do in everyday life.” He said back to me as if he had done this so many times before then he turned his gaze away from me and onto Tom who had been interestingly listening to our conversation. “Would you leave for a couple of minutes please Tom? Lucy and I have a lot to discuss and some things will be unpleasant for a human to hear. Thank you.”
Before Tom could protest I turned on him and kissed him lightly on the cheek and whispered to him.
“Do what he says. Do it for me. Please? I will shout for you if I need you.” I whispered to him. He seemed satisfied with that and walked out the door mouthing the words ‘I love you’ as he shut the door. I was now alone with the vampire that had turned me, something I never wanted to do but now had to.
“Sit down Lucy. Most of this will freak you out and I don’t want you fainting on me.” He said to me as soon as Tom was out the door. He then walked over to my bed and asked wordlessly whether he could sit down. I nodded and he sat. I walked over to the bed and sat near him but not close enough for him to touch me.
“I am the Turner, as you may have worked out, but my real name is Samuel, but you can call me Sam.” I nodded. “I am telepathic. Could you hear me talking to you through your mind?” I nodded again. “That means you are also telepathic. Once you have learned, you will be able to control people’s minds, talk to other telepaths and read everyone’s minds. To learn all of this, you will have to have lessons three times a week with a telepath. I have said to the Head, the Head of all vampires, that I will teach you because I am your Turner and now Mentor. Any questions on that?”
“What is a mentor?” I managed to say. Sam was absolutely right about me sitting down.
“A mentor is the person that a student can go to if they need any problems solved. So if you need anything, anything at all, you come to me. To summon me, you have to cut an ‘M’ into your left palm.” I instantly looked at my left hand and saw that, though my cuts were completely random, there was an ‘M’ made of the scars. He looked down into my palm. “You doing that caused me much discomfort. Now that I have turned you, I can feel your pain and your discomfort. I suffered the same amount when I turned you.”
“What did you tell Tom to do? He said he had done what you said to do.” I asked tentatively.
“I told him to give you blood. You need blood of a vampire to survive the first week but since there was no chance of me getting to sooner, I had to make him give you blood. You will need to feed regularly on a vampire’s blood. I have also told the Head that it will be my responsibility to give you that.” He started holding out his wrist to me. “Drink from me. Order not request.”
I knew determination when I see it and as I glanced at his wrist then back into his eyes, the want and longing was there again. I opened my mouth to ask him what was up with that when he shoved his wrist near enough into my mouth and forced me to bite.


Chapter Four

Sam’s blood was different from Tom’s. It was cool and it was more pleasurable to drink because it didn’t burn the inside of my mouth. I had one mouthful then pulled back. I had had enough blood for one day. As I rubbed my fingers of the cuts I had made, Sam was looking at me with intent and love.
“Why do you keep on staring at me like that?”
I love you
“What?!”
I love you
“Prove it?!”
I have never had sex. I would never willingly have sex with anyone but my love. I would willingly have sex with you any day.
Then before I could stop him he leaned over to me and cut my arm and put his mouth to the cut and began sucking. Intense pleasure overwhelmed my and before I could stop myself, I had his wrist in my mouth again and was sucking his blood. I wanted this to never end. It was so amazing and it was so new to both of us.
I defiantly believed that he loved me now. As he pulled away, I pulled away and pulled our hands back from each other’s grasps. He pulled his hand away from mine so easily but when I tried to, I couldn’t. He still had a hold of it. He bent down again and sucked once more like he couldn’t get enough.
Once we had both been healed, him healing me and himself, he started speaking to me again but not in the same voice. His voice wasn’t sweet any more; it was low and even sexier then Tom’s.
“Do you believe me now?” I couldn’t speak so I just nodded. “Good. Do you want Tom to come back in?” I shook my head. “Good. He would be most distraught if he saw me do this.”
He leaned over to me and kissed my lips softly, then when I didn’t object, hardly. It wasn’t as good as the blood sucking but Sam was defiantly better then Tom. He kissed softly and gentle and then hard and rough. Before I knew it I was laid back on my bed with Sam on top of me, still kissing me. When he started to undo the buttons on my dress, I knew I was going too far and the second I thought it, Sam pulled back from me. He evidently was listening to my thoughts so I didn’t have to say anything.
“This is the address of the school you will be attending. Have someone drive you there as soon as possible with clothing and other essentials. I will escort you to your room and then work out your schedule. You will have to attend other classes as well as my telepathy classes but on most days you will be able to school and visit family and friends. However, there are rules and regulations about outside school activity. I will explain this when you get to school.”
With all the excitement, I could hardly speak but I managed a nod and realised the buttons on my dress where still undone. I started to do them up hastily as Sam called for Tom to come back in. Tom came near enough running back in as I was doing the last button up. He didn’t know anything was up as I had wisely sat up on my bed. I took the piece of paper from Sam and put it on my bed side table.
“Thank you for calling Sam Tom. He has been a great help. I will be at school as soon as possible Sam.” With that Sam looked into my eyes once more and then walked out of my bedroom leaving me and Tom together.
“All your scars are gone from your cheek and hands. What did he do to you?” Tom asked me in a genuinely scared voice.
“He didn’t do anything to me. He just explained some things. He also gave me the address to my new school. It’s a boarding school so I have to pack.” I got up off my bed and rummaged about under my bed for my suitcase. Once I found it, I folded and packed all my clothes into the main section. Tom just sat and watched, evidently thinking.
After the clothes, I packed my toothbrush, toothpaste and all my hair products and straighteners and curlers. After I finish all my packing, I carried my suitcase down the stairs to see me mum and my dad sat on the couch together. I had to turn away from the sight because my eyes started tearing up.
I glanced at the table next to the mirror to see mum’s car keys with a note on top of them. The note said:
Have fun darling. You can come and visit whenever you like.
Love Mum and Dad x
My eyes welled up again and I picked up the note and put it in my pocket, neatly folded. I went out the front door and put my suitcase in the boot of the car. I put the keys in my seat and then entered the house again. I paused at the front room door to see mum and dad in mid hug. I walked past them and up the stairs and into my bedroom.
Tom wasn’t there any more and I rushed into the room. The window was wide open and wind was sweeping around the room. I ran over to the window and looked out of it. There was no sign of a bloody mess or anything. Nothing at all. Just then someone ran up behind her and grabbed her into his embrace.
Tom’s hands covered her eyes and her mouth as she tried to scream. She got turned around to face him and then he took his hands away from her eyes and mouth. As soon as he could, Tom kissed Lucy with all the passion in the world. His hands started to explore her body making her shiver all over. He placed Lucy’s hands on his chest and began exploring again.
When he pulled away he grabbed my hands and sat me down on the bed. Then he started unbuttoning the buttons of my dress. I reached out to him and grabbed his hands to stop him. He glanced up at me with a frown on his face. I smiled at him and then started to undo the buttons on his shirt. When he realised what I was doing, he smiled at leant over the top of me to roll me onto the bed on my
