                richie was NEVER ashamed of who he was——  he’d embraced becoming a culebra with open arms.  it was the thing he always felt was missing in his life  &  even with the terrible side effects it came with, it was everything he wanted to be.  but it was also the very thing that he always felt he was: A MONSTER.  it was the very thing that he was trying to protect kate of because there were times when the hunger would get too much that it would cloud his mind  &  he wouldn’t be so in control of himself as he always seems to be.  most of the time he’s just GRASPING at the seams trying to keep them together  &  it as his unspoken fear that one day she’d get caught in the crossfires.  it was why he spent all his efforts to try  &  keep her away, but during days like these he couldn’t—–  &  the danger lay in the fact that he hadn’t fed in nearly a week  &  she was there, a main food supply for his species.  fingernails DUG into the palms of his hands as he closed his eyes  &  shielded his fangs from her, jaw so set that he was sure it’d shatter if he wasn’t careful as she touched him  &  his body was tense; so tense.  ❛  maybe you SHOULD be,  ❜  he said what felt like minutes later when his fangs disappeared, but his eyes were still bright yellow when he opened them, a slither of black down the middle.  his hands reached up to grab her upper arms  &  he stepped forward, pushing her back until she bumped into something solid, yet he wasn’t rough.  he was being held together by tape  &  glue but he didn’t want to hurt her.  ❛  maybe you should be afraid, kate, cause one day i might not be able to restrain myself from feeding on you.  &  goddamn it, you have no idea how much i wanna feed on you..  ❜  one hand lifted to DRAG his finger along her collarbone to push back dark locks of hair, exposing her delicate neck.  ❛  this hunger, i can’t explain it.  &  i’ll hurt you——–    one day, i WILL hurt you.  ❜

                       ❝  do   it.  ❞      she  didn’t  flinch  when  her  back  hit   THE   WALL.   she  just  uttered  the  two  word  sentence ,   simple  but  catching  her  completely  off  guard.  she  had  meant  what  she  said ;   SHE   WASN’T   AFRAID   OF   HIM.   as  dangerous  as  he  was ,   she   TRUSTED   HIM.   but  that..  she  had  never  been  expecting  that.  it  was  one  thing  for  him  to  want  to  feed  from  her.  she  could  have  seen  that  coming  a  mile  away.  they’d  been  intimate  in   SO   MANY   WAYS.   she  didn’t  know  how  he  kept  himself  from  tearing  out  her  throat  most  nights.  he’d  always  made  it  look  so  easy ,   like  nothing  bothered  him.  she  couldn’t  imagine  what  kind  of  weight  that  meant  he  had  to  carry ,   but  she  wanted  to  ease   SOME   OF   IT.   her  head  tipped  to  the  side.  she  exposed  more  of  her  neck  to  him ,   eyes  never  straying  from  his  as  teeth  sunk  into  her  lower  lip.      ❝  y-you…   you   won’t   hurt   me.  ❞      it  was  the  equivalent  of  placing  her  life   IN   HIS   HANDS.   there  was  still  a  small  voice  in  the  back  of  her  head  that  screamed  at  her.  she  was  being   STUPID   &   RECKLESS.   a  naive  little  girl  that  believed  whatever  they  felt  for  each  other  would  conquer  it  all.  but  she  also  remembered  her  brother.  how   EASY   it  had  been  for  him  to  topple  over  his  urges  because  he  had  been   DENYING   HIMSELF.   if  richie  continued  to  restrain  himself ,   he   WOULD   HURT   HER.   he  might  even  kill  her  one  days.  fingers  again  lifted ,   tracing  his  jaw  as  if  she  was  committing  it  to  memory.  a  smile  set  across  her  lip ,   small  but  vulnerable.      ❝  i   trust   you ,   richie.   i-i   know   you’ll   be   able   to   stop.  ❞

s  u r v i v  e  d.
so why  shouldn’t  you  ?

is long gone.
