The wave of heat emanating from the vampire crashed down like a furnace. Selthia backed down, but she was still on guard in case anything happened. The vampire looked like a wild animal caught between two hunters.
Her eyes darted to Selthia, then back to me, but her gaze lingered on my neck, which she was just snacking on.
'Vampires were all the same.' I thought.
She was too delirious to talk to, so I needed to calm her down. Without wasting another second, I slit my wrist.
"Darling?"
Blood immediately poured out the wound and dripped onto the bed. She watched my blood greedily.
"I don't have any intention of hurting you." I said as I offered her my wrist.
She hesitated and looked up at me warily, but she appeared in front of me in an instant and sank her teeth into my wrist, drinking greedily. I slowly began stroking her hair as she drank, and the flames covering her body began to fade.
Her racing heartbeat also subsided.
