Her face was very warm, her forehead glazed in a layer of sweat when he kissed her. She was shivering violently in the hands, and she seemed to bob back down into weakness when he lifted her off of the unmerciful floor. Her legs were limp and heavy, and she didn’t— perhaps couldn’t— help him with any of her weight, which was already so light. She leaned her head up against his chest, showing the deep jagged scratch that revealed a bit of white in her skull from the hard metal of her shattered music player. Yet she still managed to cling to him, as if he were her lifeline and if she let go, she’d fly away into nothingness.
His eyes widened as he saw the extent of her injuries. "Sumika." he says softly, his eyes begging. She inspected Aliana and took a deep breath. "My lord…" She paused. "Cain." She says softly, her eyes gentle as she gazed at her older brother. "Her only option may be turning her. Her injuries are to the extent where she's dying, and she doesn't have much time left." She places a hand on Aliana's forehead. He bit his lip. "Aliana. I must heal you… but." He held her gently, but close to him. "I do not want to force something so drastic onto you." He whispers.
Aliana’s eyes flickered open again. “Do whatever it takes so we can stay together,” She murmured with the rest of her strength, tilting her head forward into his hand, desperate for any sort of support. She looped her fingers slowly through his, holding them closer to her face as if trying to smell his fingers. Instead she just held it close, her lids heavy and shut limply as she struggled to stay sitting up in the slightest within his arms.
He took a shuddering breath before he gently kissed her lips. "Very well, my love." He whispers. His lips travel towards her neck and he relaxed himself completely before biting into her shoulder. Instead of sucking the blood out he released a liquid from his fangs. He stayed there for a moment before pulling away. The liquid would mix with her blood, turning her into a vampire. He stayed beside her as Sumika settled beside him.
Her lips tasted of blood, and when he trailed his lips down to bite her, her blood still welled up slightly. She didn’t gasp at the pain, or even stir. All of the pain from her head was taking over her entire body. Her blood still tasted quite sweet, like honey pulled directly from a bee sanctuary. The wound on her head seemed to neatly stitch itself up, as if at the hands of a skilled doctor. It was still open, but her scalp came together to make it much less mortal and dangerous to infection. It hurt immensely, and yet Aliana did not scream. From her very roots, she was used to intense pain. Her cheeks seemed to have come in on themselves, her noise became pointier and her limbs seemed to grow out more. But she still seemed soft and recognizable as a Human into a Vampire.
He gazed at her sadly, watching the transformation. He was happy she was going to live. But what if she didn't want to be a monster like him? What if one day she would regret it? He held onto her, her blood delectable, but he didn't crave for more. He only wanted her to be safe. To live. But was he being selfish? He watched her wound heal carefully, making sure it was okay. He knew she had to be in pain, so he pressed soft and loving kisses to her forehead and lips. "I'm sorry I couldn't be faster, Aliana." He whispers.
Aliana jerked her head forward as though she were about to puke from the pain, but she rather released a pair of teeth. It was a pair of dull k-9s, which were promptly replaced by the sharper, whiter ones of a vampire. She actually continued to shed them, dropping them from her lips like she had just eaten sunflower seeds. Soon her full mouth was completely different, much nicer and straighter than her original jaw alignment was. The magic was merciful enough to allow her to keep her mottled, already somewhat sharp jaw, her pretty blue eyes and her long, straight blonde hair, while her limbs grew out of her dress.
He watched and gently removed his cloak to wrap it around her. He watched her transformation, not saying anything. He was guilty, but glad she was coming back. He ran a soft hand through her hair and sighed softly. He didn't want her to hurt, he felt that he had failed her as her husband and king. He gazes at her and sighed softly. "I'm sorry my love. I'm so sorry…" He whispers.
Aliana relaxed back again into the cloak, her teeth finished dropping from her lips. She turned her head slightly to gaze at him with a small smile, showing him her new teeth.
“Thank you, Cain,” She murmured softly, smiling at him as she gazed up at him with her happy eyes. “I’m so thankful for you…”
He gazes at her and smiles faintly. "I love you, Aliana." He mutters as he gazes upon her. He loved her dearly. Cain runs a hand through her hair and smiled in reply. He holds her close, smiling a little bit. "And I am thankful for you, my love." He whispers. Sumika smiled gently at the interaction. "Shall we go home, brother?" Cain nods. "Yes. She needs her rest for her to heal."
“I love you too, Cain,” She murmured back. Her head fell back and her eyes fluttered shut, and she relaxed with a soft yawn. She still held onto him like he was a life source for her, but rather relaxed all of her body but her hands. She continued to whisper her love for her king, but it was sort of like a test to see how quiet she could talk again.
He held onto her and carried her out of the blood ridden house. "Sumika. I want the house burned to the ground." He hisses as he gazes at the wretched house. Sumika nods before turning to the house. Cain carries her through the shadows and back to the palace. He places her in his bed and brushes some hair from her face. He heard her faint whispering and smiled gently.
She immediately relaxed upon the bed, sighing deeply. The newly turned vampire clinging to him still.
“Will you stay with me?” She didn’t want to be left alone. After the attack she didn’t want to be left vulnerable and afraid without her Cain. She was unable to grasp his shoulders more than she was, but she tried.
"Of course, my love." He settles beside her and settled down beside her, wrapping his arms around her. He kissed her forehead and presses a soft kiss on her forehead. "I will always stay by your side." He hums softly and smiles at her. He understood her fear. So he stayed, wrapped around her protectively.
Aliana sighed happily as he wrapped himself around her, tucking her head away and sighing softly.
“My things are still in my room, right?” She asked faintly, tilting her head up again to look at his pretty, calm face.
He held onto her gently and smiled a little bit as he held her. He nods slowly. "Yes. They're all still there. Blizzard checked." He mutters as he smiles gently at her. He ran a hand through her hair, making sure to keep her warm and keep her comfortable.
She tilted her head back down with a soft sigh, shutting her eyes a little with another small yawn. “It feels strange to be a vampire, Cain. I’m glad you did it, though.” And after that, she fell asleep, and she stayed asleep until the morning.
