~Alice (Allie)~
Alice kept quiet as she looked up into her sire's golden eyes. She felt weak and most of all...desperately hungry. She sat up and hissed. A rat scurried along the cave floor. She lurched forward, but missed the rodent as it ran deeper into the cave. She frowned and slowly stood up, using the wall to help her. She watched her sire stand up in order to keep her balanced. She leaned against his arm for support and smiled up at him. She tensed when she heard the hell hounds moving in closer. She backed away, further into the cave. The chilly air did not affect her. She was already cold to the touch.
She spotted another rat and scrambled down onto the ground after it. She dug her claw like nails into the rodent's back and felt its warm blood drip onto her hand. She scooted back and placed herself behind a rock in the cave. She brought the rat to her mouth and her lips curled up as she sank her fangs into its flesh. She groaned as the blood hit her tongue filling her senses with a coppery bitter taste. She drank quickly as if she hadn't feasted in weeks. She had lost too much blood from the demons and hell hounds. The cost was her being weakened, tired, dizzy, and more paler than she already was.
~Xavior~
Xavior watched Alice and felt himself smile slyly when she leaned against him for support. He too had heard the hounds, but was shocked to see her behave so rapidly. He followed her, watching her drag the pest up close to her. He scowled in disgust.
"Why feast from such a foul tasting rodent, Alice?" She shrugged and continued to drain the creature dry. He plucked the dead animal from her hands and tossed it. He knelt down and rolled up his sleeve. He peeled off his leather glove and held his wrist out to her.
"Take some. I feasted this morning." She hesitated but was soon clinging onto his wrist as her fangs pierced his cold flesh. He closed his eyes, shivering. She dug her nails into his arm and drank more. He gently moved her dark hair back and grabbed her by the back of the neck.
"Enough, Allie. Stop." She clutched more tightly, but let go when he added pressure onto her neck. She fell back and licked her lips. He licked the wound, sealing it closed. He sat down beside her, rolling his sleeve down and pulling his glove back on.
"You were...really hungry." "Sorry." she muttered.
"No need to be. Hunger will take its toll like that, Alice."
