Chapter 3 - Change Me

*Romance/Supernatural*

What started out as a fun night ended up becoming something I wasn't prepared for. Alison, my closest friend, decided it was time to get me out of my apartment. My boyfriend had broken up with me two weeks ago and I had refused to leave my home ever since. We had been together for years but he decided that someone else had caught his attention.

It was hard on me. He had helped me get through so much and then in the end, he left. Just like everyone else had seemed to. I was just barely feeling okay again. It was a struggle but I was making it through the best I could.

I straightened my strawberry blonde hair. I then put on some makeup so I felt at least somewhat decent. I put on a black spaghetti strapped dress and then looked myself over in the mirror. I looked good, the first time I had any confidence since the break up.

"Maci are you ready?" Alison called out as she entered the apartment. She had a spare key so she could come and go as she pleased.

"Yeah." I answered as I exited my bedroom. "Is this okay?"

Alison looked me over. Her approval meant a lot to me. She was definitely the more attractive one out of the two of us with her tanned skin and dark hair. Men always were drawn to her.

"You look hot." She smiled. "Now let's get going before all the cute guys are gone!"

"Okay, okay." I responded as she practically dragged me out of the apartment.

I stopped long enough to lock up and then we headed for the club down the street. It was convenient because we didn't have to worry about driving. We could drink as much as we wanted and walk right back here. It's something we had done many many times.

It was eight thirty in the evening once we reached the club and entered inside. It was dimly lit with only some flashing lights here and there. The music blared throughout the entire building. A bunch of people had already taken over the dance floor. This was a pretty popular place to come to.

Alison and I headed for the bar. Ordered our drinks and looked around once we got them. "See anyone who's caught your interest?" She asked with a raised voice so I could hear her.

I looked around. "Not really."

"Mace, come on. You know the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else." She winked at me.

I felt myself blush. "Shut up!" I spoke in a warning tone.

It didn't take long before we caught the attention of a pair of guys. They offered us to dance and we figured why not. I was nervous but pushed it aside. I needed to allow myself to let loose and have fun.

The man who asked me to dance introduced himself as Charlie. He was tall and I could tell he had a muscular build. His hair was a dirty blonde and on the longer side. His face was clean shaven and his eyes were a copper color.

We got on the dancefloor and moved in sync together. As we continued on I began to get more comfortable with him. I turned around so my backside was towards him and his hands grasped my hips. He held me firmly against him and I could feel his excitement as his pants held back his erection that was now pressed against me.

That's when the fun had stopped. A pair of hands yanked me away from Charlie. I looked back to see the confusion on his face and then looked towards the one pulling me away. My eyes met his blue orbs as he looked back at me. I recognized his short brown hair and jawline that was so perfect. It was my ex boyfriend Jake.

I tried to yank my arm away but his grip was tight. I didn't remember him being this strong. It probably was because he was obviously pissed off. He almost had me out of the door when Alison got in his way.

"Do you have a problem?" She asked in a snarky tone. "You dumped her, you can't just take her away when she's enjoying her time with another guy who isn't you!"

"Get out of the way." His voice was dark and threatening. I had never seen him like this before. Something was clearly wrong.

"It's okay Ali." I spoke up. "I'll just be a few minutes, okay?"

A look of defeat crossed her face. "Fine. But if you're not back soon I'll send a search party." She let out a low sigh.

"Understood." I responded as Jake was back to pulling me to the exit.

We got outside and he continued walking til we were at the back of the building. No one else was around. It was clear he wanted his privacy right now. By the look on his face I could tell this was not going to be a good thing.

"What do you want?" I asked calmly.

"What were you doing with that man?" He practically growled.

"None of you're fucking business Jake!" I was instantly angry with him. "Did you forget you're the one who left me for someone else?!"

He pinned me against the brick wall before I knew it. He had an arm on each side of me to cage me in. I wasn't going anywhere until he had decided. His nostrils flared and his once blue eyes seemed to be black.

"It's complicated. Okay?" He responded. I could tell he was trying to conceal his anger but it wasn't working.

"Complicated? Don't lie to me." I tried to push him away but he was stronger than me so it did no good.

He thought for a moment. His eyes then looked into mine. "Mace, there was no other girl. I had to because I could no longer be around you."

I didn't know what hurt more. Thinking he had been with someone else or him admitting he couldn't stand to be with me. "If I annoyed you that much you could have just said so." My eyes began to tear up as the hurt from the break up came back.

He shook his head. "It's not that Maci. I promise." His voice was softer as he spoke.

"Then tell me." I demanded. "Why did you leave me Jake? You were the most important person to me and you just left me like I was nothing!"

He let out a low sigh. "If I show you, you can't freak out. Okay?"

I was a little confused by his words but curiosity was clearly going to get the best of me. "Okay. I promise."

His eyes looked back into mine. He opened his mouth and I watched as a pair of fangs extended out. My eyes went wide with shock and horror. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Am I dreaming? This couldn't be real.

"W-What?" I started out.

"The night before we broke up, I was attacked by something. Turns out it was a vampire." He explained. I could see the seriousness on his face. "I left because I didn't want to do something I would regret to you. I didn't want to hurt you."

"This is real?" I was still trying to process his confession.

"Yes." He responded. "If you really think there's nothing else that walks among the living you would be surprised."

"So you're a vampire now?" I just wanted him to say the words to really clarify it for me.

"Yes. I'm a vampire." He gave me exactly what I needed to hear. "I need to go away, but I wanted to see you one more time."

"Where are you going?" I questioned. My heart felt like it broke again at the thought of him leaving town for good.

"I don't know yet. But I can't be here. I'm too drawn to you Mace. It's too risky." He looked away from me.

I used my hand to make him look at me again. "So change me."

"You don't understand Maci. You'll be giving up everything." He responded.

"I don't care Jake. My family is gone, my job sucks, I have nothing to lose. You were my everything and when you left I felt like part of me died." I explained. "Change me. Let me be with you forever."

After further conversation he finally agreed. He would change me and then we can figure out our lives from there. What mattered is we would be together. Forever. I would never have to feel the loneliness again that I had been dealing with.

He used a finger to mess with the strap of my dress. "You know Mace, I've always liked this dress on you."

His hands then grasped my ass as he lifted me up to him. My legs wrapped around him and he pressed my back into the wall again. His lips met mine and he kissed me as if it had been years since the last time we were this close. His tongue entered my mouth and battled with mine.

He moved a hand from my ass and brought it in between my legs. He moved up my dress and moved my underwear to the side. His lips broke away from mine as he entered a finger inside of me. I leaned my head back as a moan escaped my lips.

He pumped in and out of me. He started off slow and then quickened the pace. I let out small moans for him as his thumb brushed over my clit. Jake knew my body well and knew all the ways to make me feel good.

He removed his finger from me and used his hand to undo his pants. He then positioned his erection at my opening. I let out another gasp as he forcefully entered me. He pounded me over and over. He had already started to get me close with his fingers and I continued getting closer and closer to my edge as he filled me up over and over.

I was on the verge of my climax, he could sense it. He picked up his pace and I leaned my head back once more. As the climax took over my body he sank his fangs into my neck. I could feel his venom enter my veins as I began to come down from my orgasm.

I don't remember anything after that. When I opened my eyes I was in my bed. This time instead of being alone I had Jake next to me. I wasn't sure what exactly the future held for us, but we were together. One thing was certain though, I was starving and I needed to find me my first meal.
