She sat in a dark corner, hunger took over her. She didn't know what to do, she didn't know what was happening to her. The body in front of her lay lifeless, blood pooling around its neck. She wiped the blood off her lips and cried out when she realized what she had done. She had killed that poor soul by draining it of its blood. A few guys walked up, picking up the body. They looked around for who did, noticing her in the corner.
"What do you want us to do with her?" someone asked.
"I'll take care of this," he said as he nodded at them. They took the body away. He made his way to where she was and sat next to her.
"I didn't do that, '' she said, her hands shaking.
"I know you didn't mean to kill him, but you don't understand the hunger," He said.
"What am I?" she asked, her tears slipping from her eyes onto her cheeks.
"A vampire" he looked at her. "Who turned you?" he asked.
"Turned me?" she looked at him. "I was in a cage I-I-I don't know" she closed her eyes, leaning it against the wall.
"Just breathe," he said.
"Is he dead?" she asked.
"Yes, he is," he spoke softly.
"Oh god," she started crying and started to panic.
"Breath," he said as he grabbed her hands. "Just breathe" he tilted her chin up so she was looking at him.
"I'm going to jail" she looked at him, trying to slow her breathing to match his.
"There you go," he said. "What is your name?" he asked
"Kylie," she responded.
"I can ask around and see what happened to you," he nodded. "But now we need to get you inside" he stood up, helping her up.
He placed his arm around her waist and led her to his place. Bringing her inside before the sun started to rise. He moved her to the couch as he went into the bedroom. He came back with a few things and placed them on the table as he sat next to her.
"Ok so you need to be branded so you don't turn feral" he looked at her.
"What? I don't understand any of this" she said.
"I know that and I'll try my best to explain it to you" he took her hand. "But right now we need to do this so you can stay well," he said.
"What's branding?" she asked.
"I burn my branding onto you so that you are protected and so that you don't turn feral," he said.
"So be part of your clan?" she questioned.
"Yes," he nodded.
"Ok," She nodded.
He pushed up her skirt and cleaned off a patch on her thigh. He started a fire and put the metal in the fire, making sure it was hot enough. He made sure she was stable and placed the hot metal on her leg. She screamed out in pain, gripping his arm. He removed the metal and brushed his hand over her skin. It quickly healed and now she was a part of his clan. He placed his hand against her jawline, tilting her face up.
"You should be fine now," he said.
"Thank you" she locked eyes with him. "You never told me your name" she whispered as she moved closer to him.
"I'm Raphael" he looked at her.
"Nice to meet you," she said as her eyes never left him.
"So what do you want to know?" he asked as he sat next to her.
"Everything" she turned to face him.
They stayed up and he explained everything to her. He still didn't know who turned her or where she came from. She nodded off to sleep on the couch, he picked her up and placed her in the bed. Covering her up before calling as many vampires as he knew. Asking everyone if they heard anything about Kylie or who turned her. Unfortunately, no one knew where she came from or even who turned her.
"Someone has to KNOW something," Raphael said.
"We can ask around, sir," one vampire said.
"Yea do that" Raphael sighed as he poured blood in a glass. Taking a few sips before turning to Simon.
"Was it you?" Raphael asked.
"Of course not," Simon replied.
"You do have those drunk black-out spells," Raphael looked at Simon. "Where were you two nights ago?" he asked.
"With Clary," Simon said.
"Alright," Raphael said. "She was terrified on the street, she didn't understand anything," Raphael said.
"Is she branded?" Simon asked.
"Yea now because I did it" Raphael placed his glass down. "She could have turned feral and killed so many more" he sighed.
"I know but she's lucky you were around," Simon said.
"Yes, I'm thankful," Raphael said.
"She didn't know what she was?" Simon asked.
"No, she didn't, the poor thing was in a panic after killing that guy," he said.
"Who would do that?" Simon sighed. "Poor girl," Simon said.
"Someone who wants to start a war," Raphael said.
"No No please don't" Kylie tossed in the bed. "PLEASE NO" she screamed.
"Hey hey" Ralpheal rushed over to the bed. "It's ok" he took her in his arms.
"Let me out," she pleaded.
"Wake up" Raphael rubbed her back, waking her up.
"Uh?" Kylie asked as she tried to catch her breath.
"It was just a nightmare," Raphael said.
"But it wasn't, it was real" she sighed.
"Can you tell us?" Simon asked.
"Who is he?" Kylie asked as she moved away from Simon.
"It's ok, he's in my clan," Raphael placed his hand over hers.
"Ok," she nodded. As she started to tell the story, they were transformed into the story.
-What happened to Kylie-
It was a chilly night in November as she walked out of the club she worked out. Pulling her jacket closed as she walked towards her car. She could hear someone behind her so she walked faster. Unfortunately not fast enough because soon he was right on her tracks.
"Ma'am can I ask you something?" he asked.
"What?" Kylie said as she turned, not realizing how close he was.
"I noticed you working tonight," he said. "And I wanted to say hi but was too scared," he said.
"And you thought by coming up to me now is better?" she questioned. "It's creepy," she said.
"I'm sorry you feel that way" he looked at her. "Can I ask you a favor?" he asked.
"What?" she replied.
"Don't scream," he said.
"What?" she looked at him confused.
"Don't scream" he said as he grabbed her arm.
"Let me go" she tried to pull away.
"Oh sweetheart you are so naive" he chuckled as he pulled her to his car.
"LET ME GO" She screamed.
"See now you pissed me off" he picked her up, placing her over his shoulder.
As she kept fighting he opened the trunk of his car and put her inside. Placing tape over her mouth before closing the trunk. It seemed like he drove for hours before opening the trunk again. He picked her up and took her into an abandoned house. Placing her in the basement where no one could hear her scream. There was no way out besides a steel door, which was locked. He kept her down there for weeks, just coming down once a day. Using her as a human blood bag, enjoying how naive she was.
"Pretty girl I wish you would just eat" he placed the food in front of her.
"Go to hell," she said.
"I'm already there" he sat next to her, placing his hand on her leg.
"Don't touch me" she said as she moved away from him.
"See if you just did what I ask then everything will be better," he said.
"I'm not drinking blood or whatever the hell you want me to do," she said.
"You will eventually when I turn you," he said.
"What?" she asked.
"It's cute, a naive human" he chuckled slightly.
"What do you want from me?" she asked.
"Blood mainly," he said. "My blood bank," he said.
"What are you?" she asked.
"A bloodsucker" he chuckled. "A vampire," he said.
"Vampires aren't real," she said.
"Yet here I am," he said.
She leaned back against the wall as she hugged her knees to her chest. He moved to where she was at, moving her hair from her neck. Pinning her down he started to drink from her, she couldn't fight because she was already weak. This time he drank too much and she passed out. He didn't think much of it and left her alone. He didn't realize that she had drunk his blood and when she woke up this time things were different. The next day when he entered the room she still had not moved from where he placed her at. Â
"Guess I got too selfish," he said as he picked her up.
He placed her in the car and drove to an ally, just dropping her off. He got in his car and left as if nothing happened. She wouldn't awake until nightfall but when she did, she realized she was free. She stood up on her feet, holding the wall as she was still weak. She could smell blood, hear heartbeats. She was confused and didn't know what was wrong with her. Once she realized where she was she went back to the club.
"There you are," Scott said.
"Hey Scott," she said as she walked up to him. She could hear his blood running through his veins, his heart pumping.
"We have been worried sick about you girl," He said as he hugged her.
"God you smell amazing," she said as she smelled his neck, her fangs coming out.
"What?" he asked. "Where were you?" he questioned.
"I need blood," she said as she gripped his arms, sinking her fangs into his neck.
She drained his blood, allowing his body to fall to the ground. That's when Raphael found her.
-End of what happened to Kylie-
"Did you get his name?" Simon asked.
"I never asked," She said.
"Do you remember anything else?" Raphael asked.
"I told you everything I can remember. '' She looked at Raphael. "I'm sorry," she said.
"Don't be, we will figure this out" Raphael nodded.
"I'm hungry," she said. "Human," she said as she sniffed the air.
"Simon get that human NOW," Raphael said as he grabbed Kylie.
Simon rushed to the door and ushered the human away from the house. Raphael keeps hold of Kylie but it was hard since she was a new vampire she was strong.
"Calm down and I'll teach you, '' Raphael said.
"I need blood," she said as her breath caught in her throat. The hunger growing larger, she needed it. He sat her down on the bed and kneeled in front of her. Locking eyes with her once again, she calmed down but the hunger was still growing. Once he knew she was in control he nodded towards Simon to bring one of the humans in. Simon went outside and got a human to enter the house with him. Simon did mind control on the human to allow whatever Kylie needed.
"She's ready," Simon said.
"Ok Kylie" Raphael grabbed her hand leading her to the human. "Now you need to find the jugular vein," Raphael said.
"I hear it," Kylie said.
"I know you do now slowly," Raphael said as he moved the hair from the human's neck. "Find a spot and allow your fangs out," he said.
Kylie nodded and found a spot, allowing her fangs to come out. Pricking the skin allowing blood to run out, she retracted her fangs and started sucking the blood.
"Ok, Kylie '' Raphael said. Kylie didn't stop so Ralpheal grabbed the back of her neck, allowing the human to be free.
"I NEED MORE" Kylie said as she was blood-hungry.
"Stop," Raphael said. "Control yourself," he said.
"I need more" Kylie pulled from Raphael.
"No, you don't." He placed his arm around her waist. "You have to learn how to control it," he said.
"You are doing better than me, my first time," Simon said.
"Thank you" she nodded.
A few weeks went by and she learned how to control her hunger. She also learned how to drink from a blood bag and not always needed to drink from a human. She stayed with Raphael as he showed her the ropes.
"Can I ask you something?" she asked as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Go for it" he looked at her.
"Do you like me?" she asked.
"Yea I do actually" he smirked.
"Ok then why haven't you tried anything with me?" she asked.
"Because I'm not into sex" he admitted.
"Oh so you are asexual" she nodded.
"Yea I am" he nodded. "Is that a problem?" he asked.
"Of course not" she looked at him. "So what are you ok with?" she sat next to him.
"Kissing, touching but just not sexual" he watched her.
"Touching?" She raised an eyebrow. "That could be fun," she smiled.
"I'm sure whatever is on your mind right now, it will be fun," he said.
"Well first," she said as she placed her hand against his chin, turning him to face her. "We have to start somewhere" she looked at him.
"And where is that?" He looked at her.
She leaned in, allowing her lips to brush against his. Gently kissing him waiting for his response, he placed his hand on her cheek. Brushing his thumb against her skin as he kissed her back. She placed her hand against his shirt, pulling his shirt as she kept the kiss. He gently tugged at her bottom lip as he pulled her onto his lap. She started undoing his shirt, rubbing his chest as she pulled on his bottom lip. He gripped her hips, keeping her close to him as he pulled away slightly. Resting his forehead against his as they both caught their breaths.
"Is that ok?" she asked.
"Yea more than ok" he nodded.
"Good," She smiled. "I like you," she admitted.
"I like you too," he said as he moved her from his lap, standing up.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I can't offer you more," he said.
"I want whatever you offer me" she placed her arms around his waist, resting her head against his shoulder.
"It won't be enough," he sighed.
"You are enough," she whispered in his ear. "I don't want sex," she said.
"What?" He turned to face her.
"I want your heart, I want your love" she looked into his eyes.
"Not sexual?" He placed his hand against her cheek.
"Not sexual, just you" she placed her hand against his chest. "Just your heart," she said.
"No one has ever asked for that" he rested his forehead against hers. "I'm never enough," he said.
"You are enough," she whispered.
He leaned in and kissed her softly, wrapping his arm around her. She smiled against his lips before kissing him back. Pulling his shirt as she kept the kiss. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him. He moved them back to the bedroom, laying her on the bed. Moving over top of her as he kisses her lips softly, pulling at her bottom lip. She runs her hand down his chest, resting them against his hips. He pulled away and laid beside her, she snuggled to him resting her head against his chest. Listening to his heartbeat everything around them seemed to melt away.
"I have some things to get done today, I'll be back later," he said.
"Oh ok," she nodded. "Can I ask something?" she asked.
"Sure" he sat up.
"How can you walk in the daylight but I can't?" she asked.
"It's complicated" he looked at her.
"Ok," she nodded. "You'll tell me when you are ready," she said.
"Yea" he pulled her to him, kissing her softly. He pulled away and kissed her forehead before leaving.
"I'll see you later," she said.
"I want to try something with you later," he said as he stood up. "You'll enjoy it" he smiled before leaving.
She stayed inside and got some sleep. She was still asleep when Raphael came back to the house. He smiled as he saw her sleeping, making his way to the bed. He leaned down kissing her cheek softly, waking her up gently. She groaned as she woke up, rubbing her eyes as she stretched
"So you are invited to the institute," he said.
"And what is that?" she questioned.
"Where the shadowhunters stay," he said.
"Shadowhunters?" she looked at him.
"Yea all the legends are true" he chuckled. "My friends want to meet you," he said.
"Ok sure," she nodded. "Anyone I need to worry about?" she asked.
"Not really but just so you know I had a thing with Isobella" he nodded.
"Isobella? What happened?" She asked.
"The things we wanted in a relationship weren't the same" he sat on the bed.
"So she did not accept you" she moved behind him, wrapping her arms around him. Resting her head against his shoulder.
"Not really but we are friends now" He placed his hand over the top of her.
"Ok, as long as she knows you are mine" she whispered in his ear.
"I'm sure you will tell her," he smiled, leaning back against her.
"Oh I surely will, '' she said. "When?" she asked.
"Tonight will be fine if you are up for it," he said.
"Sure but what was it that you wanted to try with me?" she asked.
"We can do that another time," he smiled.
"Ok babe" she kissed his cheek.
She got up out of bed and went into the bathroom. She took a quick shower and got ready to go meet his friends. She didn't know what to expect but she knew Raphael would be right beside her. He also changed and waited for her in the living room. She came down in a pair of jeans and a crop top. He stood up as she made her way to where he was. He grabbed her hand and spun her around so he could take her all in.
"Damn" he smiled.
"Like what you see?" she asked.
"You look good" He leaned in and kissed her.
"Thank you," she said.
"Ready?" he asked as he offered him her arm.
"Always ready with you" she linked her arm with his.
They left the house and he took her to the institute, he showed her around before introducing her to his friends.
"Ok guys you can come out," Raphael said. They all came out and stood in front of Kylie and Raphael.
"Whoa," Kylie said.
"This is Clary, Jace, Simon, Isobella, Magnus, and Alec," Raphael said as he pointed to each one when he said their names.
"Nice to meet you all," Kylie smiled.
"Nice to meet the girl that makes Raphael smile," Clary said.
"Yea, you've changed him" Jace smiled.
"Oh, hush" Raphael rolled his eyes.
"Yea how did you do it?" Isobella asked.
"Just show him that he's enough, '' Kylie said as she grabbed Raphael's hand.
"That's good, he deserves the world," Isobella said as she looked at Raphael.
"Thank you Isobella," Raphael nodded.
"Uh-huh," Kylie said.
'Play nice '' Raphael whispered into Kylie's ear.
"I always do" she smirked as she looked at Isobella. "How do you know Raphael?" she asked.
"We used to date and blood share," Isobella said.
"Blood share?" she questioned.
"We will talk about this later," Raphael said.
"Yes I'm sure we will," Kylie said.
"She's so innocent, Raphael," Isobella said.
"She is but she's learning," Raphael said as he gave Isobella a look.
"We have dinner prepared and then a movie outside," Magnus said as he tried to distract from the conversation.
"Thank you," Raphael said.
Raphael kept his hold on Kylie as they walked through the institute but he knew that she was upset. She kept to herself during the dinner.
"So tell us more about yourself," Jace said.
"Uh?" Kylie said.
"Where you were born, tell us anything," Jace said.
"I'm from Paris and I don't know," she shrugged.
"Did something make you upset?" Clary asked.
"No I just like to keep to myself," Kylie said.
"It's ok," Raphael said as he grabbed her hand.
"Yea everything is fine" she nodded.
They finished the dinner and everyone else went outside to start the movie. Raphael held Kylie back so they could talk. He knew she was upset about the blood share thing because he didn't tell her. He wasn't even sure if she knew what it truly meant.
"Talk to me," He said.
"Why?" Kylie said. "You brought me here to make me look like a joke," she said.
"I didn't," he said. "I just haven't told you about blood sharing," he said.
"I know what it is and how personal it is" she looked at Raphael.
"Ok I should have told you" he sighed. "It was when Isobella was addicted to vampire blood," he said.
"Like that makes it better?" she said. "It's personal and you told me no one has gotten deep with you," she said.
"No I told you no one has ever made me feel like I'm enough, but you have" he tilted her chin to look at him but she pulled away.
"I wish you had told me" she looked down.
"I'm sorry," he said as he tilted her chin back up. "No more secrets, I'm an open book" he looked at her.
"I care for you and I just don't know," she said as she let her tears slip from her eyes.
"Please don't cry" he wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry" he leaned in and kissed her softly.
"I trust you but you can't keep this from me," she said. "I walked in here looking stupid," she said.
"Don't worry about Isobella, she brought that up to rattle you" he said.
"Well, it worked" she looked down, grabbing his hand.
"Don't let it work please" he pulled her to him. "I don't want to lose this" he whispered in her ear.
"I'm not going anywhere" she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Good" he kissed the top of her head.
They went outside where everyone was and grabbed a seat. She sat between his legs and laid back against him. He wrapped his arms around her, keeping her close. She played with his hands as they watched the movie. He never had someone who looked at him the way she did. Nor did he have someone that made him feel like he was enough. He knew he had to be more open with her and change or she would leave. On that night when he found her, he never thought it would turn into something worth fighting for.
