All love comes at a price, but of what is something many will never know until it’s been done. For you it wasn’t even something you were aware of until you woke up and couldn’t see yourself in the mirror, no reflection to be seen.

That was when you were forced to live a life hidden away from the warmth of the sun. Halse wasn’t meant to cause harm or panic, more so sooth and comfort. That’s what Halse always had you believe anyways, that’s what he himself believed.

“Come, mon chéri~ you’ll get used to this, even enjoy it, just give it time”

Halse wanted you intoxicated that night. It was the only way to make sure you’d agree to let him bite you whilst using the dull excuse of being peckish at the time. Halse barely made any effort to hide he turned you on purpose.

“You know I didn’t mean to, I was just as gone as you were that night”

A blunt lie that still sounded more like comforting smooth spoken words rather than a manipulative bastard.

Halse doesn’t like seeing you so down, arms slithering around your waist from behind as he nuzzled into the twin marks on your neck where he had punctured the tender flesh just a few nights ago. He was trying to make you forget and just be happy with him, but for some reason being human sounded better than being an immortal beauty for the rest of your life. To you anyways.

It truly baffled him but he would be patient, and more manipulative and convincing if you continued to be so sullen.
