"Transformed"

It’d been only four days since John walked out on Alex and she kept dreaming of it like it was just yesterday. In her dreams she willed herself to say it. To say that she loved John more than Jacques, or even more, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t lie to herself, how was she supposed to lie to John just to keep him? No. It wasn’t right. Even if she was able to say it and mean it, she’d still have lost him because of everything she put him through. It was her fault he almost died. It was her fault that he had a mark on his back. He even looked past the devious vampire that wanted to kill him, but John honestly couldn’t handle the fact that she had three personalities, and sadly, only 1 of them wanted him. She couldn’t blame him for leaving the way he did.

If it wasn’t for Trey she’d fall apart. He was a good friend and she never really thought of crossing that line with him, ever. She was grateful for his hospitality in letter her stay in his room. He even slept on the pullout couch. He was always looking after her. And how did she thank him? She would sneak out and go off to John’s dorm room and watch him. She didn’t know why she felt the need to still protect him, watch over him like some silent guardian, but she did, even if he didn’t want her there. A part of her ached to know if he knew she was there. She prayed for it. She wasn’t good for anyone, Trey felt a way about her that she couldn’t act on, she caused John pain, and Xander of course, he felt everything she felt and was probably going insane right now.

Alex turned in her sleep as the midday sun shone dimly through the heavy layer of curtains Trey used his star power to get. He tried his best to make it as dark as possible in his hotel suite, and Alex appreciated it. She tossed and turned again. She was dreaming again. John was screaming and she begged him to stay. The look in his eye and the sound of his voice still haunted her. She put that pain and anger there and it even followed her to her only place of sanity, her dreams. Those weren’t even immune. She rolled over once more as Trey walked into the room and stood in the doorway. He looked at her, observed her and sighed. His phone vibrated and Alex turned.

“I’m not here.” She mumbled. Trey shook his head in disapproval. He was baffled still by how she was able to hear his phone vibrate in his pocket. Trey answered the phone.

“Hey, Xander. No, she’s not with me. If I see her I’ll tell her you’re lookin’ for her. Yeah. Ok. Keep me posted.” He hung up and looked at Alex who was now sitting up and looking at him, almost snarling.

“I don’t know why you always ask him to keep you posted. You know everything. I’m right here.”

“Ok, since you have all this criticism on how I lie; how about you tell him that you’re not here when he calls?” Alex fell silent and hung her head. “Exactly, now let me do this. Plus if I don’t ask him to keep me posted he might suspect I’m lying. Wow, you being depressed has really messed you’re lyin’ game up Alex. I’m gonna need for you to get it together, I didn’t know that vampires got this sad.” He joked. Alex tossed a pillow at his head and tried to go back to sleep. All she wanted to do was sleep and write. She didn’t eat much and sleep made it hurt less.

After epically failing to go back to sleep without seeing John’s face, she decided that she needed to get her day started whatever that consisted of. She sat up and looked out the window. She couldn’t see anything so she drew back the curtains. She didn’t have the heart to tell Trey that the hotel had tempered slightly tinted windows. She looked over the city and the humans that were hustling from place to place, wishing she was one of them. If she was she could be happy and with the one whom a part of her wanted. Alex shook the thought of him from her mind and decided to head to the bathroom to take a shower.

When Alex got out of the shower she was dripping wet. Her hair was slicked back as she was wrapped up in nothing but a towel. She looked around the room. She didn’t want this. This isn’t how it was supposed to happen. Where was her happy ending? Why couldn’t she ever get what she wanted? All she wanted was love and no one was giving that to her.

“Why me? Huh? Why? What did I do to deserve this?” Alex shouted through tears as she looked up to the ceiling. She thought it’d make her feel better to blame some higher power. She thought it’d make her feel better to place a name and likeness to her plight. Overwhelmed with anger and pain Alex dropped to her knees and sobbed.

Trey knocked on the door and entered the room. He heard Alex shouting and rushed in. Alex looked up at him her eyes were filled with tears. She sniffled and was instantly in his arms. Trey tried his best to comfort her.

“It’s ok. I’m here. You’re going to be ok. I got you.” Trey whispered in her ear. Alex looked up at Trey. Their eyes locked on each other’s.

No. You can’t do this. I know you’re hurting, but imagine the aftermath.

Girl you better do it. He’s fine, and he’s right here offering himself to you. Take it.

Ignoring the back and forth going on in her head, Alex leaned in and kissed Trey. As she brought her arms up to wrap around his neck Trey pushed her off slightly. Their bodies were still close together.

“Alex. We can’t do—”

“Shhhh.” She told him as she placed a finger on his lips. “It’s ok. It’s what I want.”

“Alex-“

“Don’t fight it. Plus, you want it more than you’re putting on, so stop fighting and just give in. You’re losing this fight slowly anyway.” She said as she placed his lips on his gently. Trey pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her waist. Alex felt him getting harder as the kiss got deeper.

Trey pulled the towel off Alex and threw let it drop to the floor. He took in Alex’s body inch by inch. He couldn’t take admiring the art without touching it any longer. He ran his hands gently down her soft smooth skin. He kissed her lips again and led her to the edge of the bed. Trey sat her down and placed his hand on her chest and gently pushed her down. He kissed her neck and bit down gently. Alex let out a small moan. Now she knew how it felt for someone else to be doing the biting. Trey made his way down to her breasts and took one of her nipples in his mouth. Alex sighed as he flicked his tongue against her nipple. She was feeling something before that she never felt before. Lust? Pure sexual energy? She was trying to figure out what she was feeling until Trey made it down between her thighs. Alex arched her back as she felt his tongue enter her. She instantly grabbed the sheets. Trey took his tongue out of her and flicked it against her soft spot. Alex moaned louder as she grinded her hips against his tongue.

Just as she was about to go over, Trey stopped suddenly. She let out a low growl of frustration. Trey went to take off his wife beater. Alex thought he was taking too long and slashed her fingernail against his shirt ripping it down the middle. Trey giggled as he picked her up and laid her in the bed. He slid his basketball shorts and Alex’s legs found their way around his waist. Alex let out a slight moan when she felt Trey enter her.

Trey started to move his hips slowly. Alex wrapped her arms around his shoulder as she took him in deeper. Trey sped up the pace of his movements as his hips went in circles. Alex’s body instantly responded as it shivered. Trey was hitting all the spots and taking her to a place she had never been before.

Now it’s your turn to take over. He made you feel good now return the favor.

Alex turned them both over so she was on top. She slowly rode Trey. She looked down at him and saw his eyes roll back into his head with every sway of her hips against him. Trey grunted and grabbed Alex’s waist as he went deeper into her. Alex sped up and Trey went crazy. They were both close to climaxing, she could feel it. Alex moaned loudly and was about to reach completion. She grabbed the headboard and brought herself closer to Trey. She sniffed his neck and went crazy. As she was on the climax she bit into Trey’s neck. As the blood entered her mouth and slid down her throat she climaxed. She sucked harder as she rode it out her orgasm and felt Trey climax as well.

Alex sat up and rolled over her chest heaving from all the hard work she had put in. She licked around her mouth and tasted the blood. She looked at Trey. He looked so peaceful. She looked at the sheets and saw blood. She quickly looked at Trey’s neck. She saw the bite marks.

“Where did those come from?” she said out loud. Trey didn’t look dead. She checked his pulse he was still alive…barely. She quickly got dressed and called 911.

“9-1-1 what is our emergency?” the dispatcher asked in a thivk New York accent.

“I need help. My friend, something’s happened to him. He’s bleeding pretty bad and his pulse is weak. Please send help!” Alex cried frantically.

“Ok ma’m we’ll send someone out right away. Where is your location?”

“He’s in the Hudson Hotel on the top floor. Suite 822. Please hurry.”

“Ok ma’m help is on the way.”

Alex immediately hug up the phone. She called from the hotel so it’d be easier for her to leave out without being seen. She put on her clothes and redressed Trey. She then decided that she had to make herself unseen. She kissed Trey and whispered in his ear.

“I’ll see you at the hospital. I’m so sorry.” She said as a tear fell on his cheek. She silently and invisibly exited the hospital. Alex found her bike right where she’d left it. She put on her helmet and rode off to the only place she could go…home.

Xander stood in the driveway as if he was waiting for her.

“I knew you’d come back eventually.” He snarled at her. “Of all the people in the world you had to sleep with the only one that gave a damn about you. Why are you here? What happened?”

“What are you going on about? Trey and I had sex, it was good, and then I bit him. Problem?” she said smartly.

“And you just left him there?”

“No! I called the ambulance and left as soon as possible. If I would’ve stayed they would’ve suspected me and I can’t have that!” she looked at Xander and he knew she wasn’t sorry. She didn’t regretted sleeping with Trey, but she did regret that she left him there. Xander looked in her eyes and saw it. Alex had checked out and Alexandria took her place.

“So the blood sucking was your idea huh?” he asked with his arms crossed.

“Yeah and it was good. There’s nothing better than the blood of your lover to send you into the best climax you’ve ever had.” She laughed.

Alexandria pushed past Xander and made her way to her room. She took a quick shower and looked in her closet. She picked out a black low cut v-neck t-shirt with a plaid Playboy bunny on the front. She grabbed her short pink and black plaid mini skirt and some black leggings. She put on her skirt and put on some thigh high black leather lace-up boots. As Alexandria was tying her boots up she heard Xander yelling. She raced downstairs and laughed.

“What’s all this screaming for?” she asked. Xander moved and she saw Damian standing in the doorway. Alexandria smiled and walked past Xander.

“Let’s go.” She said flatly.

“Go where?” Damian asked.

“I’m sick of being here with all the goody-two-shoes. I need to be somewhere where I can be me and not have to hide like a coward.” She hissed. As she made her way out the door Xander grabbed her arm.

“Lex, don’t do this. Stay here with us and I can help you.”Xander begged. Alexandria looked down at Xander’s hand with disgust. She snatched her arm away and marched out. She climbed into her car with Damian following close behind. As she pulled out the driveway and sped off, it hit him. Alex was gone and there was no telling when she’d come back. She was lost inside her own pain. He had to get himself ready for what was to come. He might have to fight his own sister. Xander looked up at the sky trying to gather himself together. He was ready now. Now the only question was, was the rest of the world?
