I sat in my classroom, my cold, calculating eyes scanning the room with disinterest. As a pure-blooded vampire, I was a creature of the night, and this mundane school was a prison for me. My corruption, a dark and dangerous force within me, lay dormant, waiting to be unleashed by the scent of a specific blood type.
Suddenly, a warm, foolish mortal, Max, strode in and kissed me without warning. I was taken aback, my eyes flashing with anger. But Max knew the truth - I was a vampire, and he was the only one who knew.
"You fool," I hissed, my voice like ice. "You think you can awaken my corruption with your petty gestures?", I whispered loud enough for only him to hear.
Max smiled, his eyes burning with passion. "I know your secret, Valeria Salvadore. I know my blood can awaken your true nature. And I'm willing to risk everything to be the one to unleash it."
I laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You think your blood is special? You think you can tame me?"
Max's eyes gleamed with determination. "I know my blood is the key to unlocking your true potential. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make you mine."
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite myself. Max's blood did have a peculiar scent, one that stirred something deep within me. But I would never admit it.
"Leave me alone, mortal," I spat, trying to maintain my composure. "You don't know what you're playing with." But it seemed like he didn't hear me or he did hear me but refused to listen.
Max leaned in closer, his breath warm against my skin. "I know exactly what I'm playing with.
His words danced on the edge of temptation, and for a moment, I felt my corruption stir. But I pushed it back, my cold heart refusing to yield.
"We'll see about that," I whispered, my eyes flashing with warning. Little did Max know, his persistence would be his downfall. And mine.
Max's eyes gleamed with determination as he pulled out a small knife and pricked his finger. A drop of blood welled up, and he held it out to me.
I was stunned into silence and then again he did something really shocking…
