Blood Thirsty

*Andy's POV*

It's been about six months since Ash and I got together. So far, I've been able to keep in control by drinking wolves blood, and not getting too physical with him, but as of late, my thirst has started to become overwhelming. I want to mark Ashley as mine, which means we would bound to each other. It's kind of like marriage, accept it comes with a side affect. Ashley would become a vampire and our souls would be bound together. The only way to undo the binding is to ask the vampire elders in Romania, and most of the time they say no. He would still remain a vampire, even if we weren't bound together anymore. "Hey bright eyes!" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Ashes voice. I looked up and saw him standing in the doorway of the tour bus with his luggage. We were starting another tour, after having a two month long break. I smiled at my boyfriend as he clumsily dragged his bags into the bunk room, and ran back to me, tackling me on the couch. "I missed you!" He giggled. I love seeing him like this! "Ashes, we saw each other yesterday, goofball!" I teased, tickling him. He squealed as he tried to get me to stop. His sent hit me like a train, causing me to jump back. He looked at me, confused. "What's wrong, Andy?" Hurt frosting his words. "I'm sorry Ash. The wolf blood remedy is starting to not work any more..." I said sullenly. He gasped and backed away. Just then, CC walked in from the bunk room, and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the fear in Ash's eyes. "What's going on?" He asked cautiously as Jake and Jinxx walked in, making the room way too crowded. "Andy's wolf blood remedy isn't working anymore." Ash whispered. A thick layer of silence passed over the room. All eyes were on me, and it was aggravating me. Jinxx could tell that the tension wasn't helping the situation. "Well, as long as Andy feeds at least once a day, he should be fine. And he has to stay away from deer blood. That's why he got so bad in the first place." We all looked at Jinxx, puzzled by his knowledge. "I did research while we were on break, because I was worried that this would happen." He explained. Jake and CC shrugged and went into the back room to play COD. Jinxx sat down on the couch across from Ash and I. Everything was silent for a few moments be Jinxx spoke up. "So, how are we going to get you fed everyday, Andy? Are you going to feed from Ashley?" He asked bluntly. I almost laughed at his bluntness, but the serious look on his face kept me from it. "I can't feed from Ashes.... I'm in love with him, and that would risk me marking him...." I whispered. Ash looked at me, confused. "Marking me? I don't understand what that means." I looked at Jinxx, silently begging for him to explain since he probably knew more about it than I did. He sighed and got the hint. "When a vampire marks someone, it's them claiming that person as their soul-mate. During the process, the person that the vampire has marked is turned into a vampire as well, and their souls are, metaphorically, bound together. Basically, if he marks you, you two are bound to each other forever, no if, ands, or buts. It's serious shit. The only way to undo the mark is if one of you die, or the elders in romania reverse the mark, but neither party can mark another person ever again, and you would remain a vampire." He explained to Ashley. Ash's eyes widened. "But wait! Why isn't he able to mark anyone else?" He asked. "Because you have to be in love with the person. Marking someone is an act of love." Jinxx answered. I sat there quietly, letting Jinxx answer Ash's questions. What if Ash never wants me to mark him? I don't want to force Ash to be with me forever, also forcing him to be a vampire. "This is a lot for me to take in.... I'm going to go to sleep.... Goodnight...." Ash whispered, not looking at me as he went. I look at Jinxx, feeling the tears falling from my eyes. Jinxx sat next to me, wrapping me in his arms as I silently cried. "What if he doesn't want to be with me, Jinxx?" I whispered softly. "Then he isn't the one for you." Jinxx answered quietly. I buried my head in his chest, ignoring the thirst scratching at my brain. He leaned back so we were cuddling, and I fell asleep in his arms.
