Free Vampyre Blue by Davena Slade Nicolaou

Blue, it’s really Pierre.'
    In her dream Blue turned on him, walking right up to him, she pulled him off the bed,
    'Where did you go? Why did you bite me?'
    Blue stared into his eyes with burning fury, confused and agitated. Pierre stroked the hair from her face, resting his head on her shoulders, embracing her. He pulled back, looking into her eyes,
    'Blue you must know the truth.'
    She frowned at him, the hurt blazing though her eyes. Tears forming in her eyes.
    'You bit me.' she whispered and slumped onto the bed.
    'No, no, no. Blue, I didn’t. Remember. I didn’t look the same. It wasn’t me. I swear. It was someone else pretending to be me.' He begged her to listen to him.
    'Convenient.' She gave him an angry scowl.
    'No Blue it isn’t. I did want to bite you. Turn you. But I wanted it to be on your terms. Not forced upon you. How could I want that? I love you Blue.'
    She looked up into his eyes, the tears still rolling down her face. He held her in his arms.
    'Blue I love you so much, I would never wish harm upon you. I miss you so much. I will see you soon.'
    'When? When will I see you?' She pleaded.
    As Blue asked the question, her body violently jumped awake. She sat up startled, then lay back down, her head on her pillow. She looked around and realised she was alone…
    'I love you too.' She said aloud alone in her room.
     
    Pierre regained consciousness next to Isis, in her temple.
    'So how was that?' She asked.
    'Was that real?' Pierre asked.
    'As real as you and I right here and now.'
    'Oh Isis.' He sighed, 'It was so strange and so realistic. Like I was really there. I don’t know if she knows it was real or if she thinks it was just a dream. Oh God I can’t remember if I told her about Daen. I don’t think I warned her about him. I was just totally there in the moment. I forgot to tell her everything!'
    'Don’t worry Pierre, it will be okay. I promise you, it will be okay.'
    Isis was smiling at him, he lay there still half dazed. Her warm eyes reassuring Pierre that in fact this whole mess would work out in the end.

    Blue lay there in bed startled.
    'I could swear he was right here.' She thought to herself. The covers in Star’s guest room (Blue's temporary paradise) were more comfortable than ever she just wanted to go back to sleep and dream of Pierre. She could swear Pierre was just here. She thought she may be feeling guilty because she slept with Daen, and she wondered what the hell he meant that he, Pierre didn't bite her. She was confused, she wondered who had bitten her. She slammed her head back into her pillow, she covered herself with the huge duvet and screamed 'OH MY FUCKING GOD!' at the top of her voice, muffled in the covers.
     
    'I do miss Pierre,' Blue was thinking to herself, 'What the hell was I thinking sleeping with Daen. I must have been crazy, I don't love him, it's because I miss Pierre and he makes me forget about it. His blood tasted good. Pierre was just a dream. Where the hell were you Pierre when I needed you? I got bitten by you or someone pretending to be you. As soon as someone else came along off I went, so much as a sniff and I'm anyone's??? I am my own worst enemy!'
     
    Star walked in at that moment, as Blue struggled with her inner daemons. She walked over to the bed, took a seat and peeled back the covers.
    'Honey are you alright? I heard muffled screaming. I thought you might be having one of those horrific nightmares again.'
    'No nothing like that. Just me doing my own head in. Convincing myself that Pierre is still around.'
    'That Monster! That fucking Monster! So you were having Nightmares! God I swear that bastard Pierre is the devil incarnate and he was the one that changed you into this animal you have become… no offence.'
    Star gave Blue a hug, after she had just called her an animal.
    'I don’t know Star.' Blue said, 'I think there's more to it than we know. I don’t even know if Pierre was the one that bit me.'
    'But that’s all you could say
