Ten - Magic

Dev knocks on the door, grabbing our attention. “Girls? Can I come in?”

Britt mustn’t have heard the knock with all of her magic floating around, because his voice makes her jump and drop everything that was levitating around the room. Thankfully only one lamp breaks. I hope the guys weren’t in love with it.

“Yeah, we’re decent,” Britt responds, laughing her ass off when I send her a glare. It looks like using her magic makes her a little loopy.

He pushes the door open, playfully peeking in, with one hand covering his eyes with a slight slit between his fingers. It reminds me of a child playing hide and seek, but catching a peek as the others run off and hide. It’s charming. “You need to have the blood bag, Em. Your parents sent word that you were to have it before Britt starts, just in case your beast gets frightened by Britt using magic on you. We want her to be calm during the process and not attack anyone,” he explains, pulling his hand away from his face, pointedly looking at the bag I had put on the side table.

Sighing, I give in. “Fine! Britt, do you mind leaving for a bit?” I ask, not wanting to offend her. It’s just the thought of drinking blood in front of her is weird. The thought of drinking blood at all is a foreign concept but with an audience is even more uncomfortable.

She nods, not even slightly offended. “Sure thing hun, I’ll just be in the lounge making a coffee. You want one?” she offers pausing at the door.

“God yes,” I grin. That girl knows me well, although it makes sense for her to offer one since she was the one who got me addicted in the first place.

“Alright,” she nods before facing Dev pointing her finger threateningly at him. “You have five minutes Prince Charming, before I storm back in, got it?” she stares down Dev until he nods, hiding a smirk.

Once the door closes, I look to Dev, a feeling of panic overtaking me. He comes straight to me, crouching down in front of me, “I’m sorry Em but you need to drink. We have no idea what will happen if the vampire side of you goes hungry for too long. Just give it a try and if you can’t stomach it, you can stop,” he reassures me, giving my knee a gentle squeeze.

I take a deep breath comforted he’s here and rip the bag open, gulping down the sweet, metallic liquid. I’ve been starving since I got up, but I thought I just needed food. In under a minute, the bag is drained and a feeling of contentment washes over me.

Dev just stares at me gobsmacked. “What the hell, Emerald?! Why were you starving yourself? Why didn’t you say you were hungry?!” he questions, anger in his voice before turning to concern as he looks down at the empty bag. “Do you need more?”

I’m about to say no, when my stomach gurgles.
