At first Lucy did not hear or see Jude. When she finally let go blood poured from her mouth. Had she really taken that much from him? Her body quivered with excitement, it felt as if life had returned to her. She no longer felt hungry. Her eyes were wide, she felt light headed. She hated the lingering taste of filth in her mouth, she wanted water to wash it away.

She brought her hand to her mouth, tears formed in her eyes when she realised that she had killed him. Was she really that strong? Her heart felt like it was never going to stop pounding in her chest. Her eyes shifted up to Jude. Was he scared of her now? Maybe he just thinks that I bit him, like a normal bite. Maybe he will think that he bled out because of his wound.

"I'm sorry," she sobbed. She could not hold the tears in, her body quivered but this time in sadness. Lucy had never drank from someone before. She was only given blood to drink. Her family also cooked food, even though it wasn't that satisfying. It made them seem more wealthier that they could afford unnecessary food. She buried her face in her hands. When she stopped sobbing she stood and nodded. "I'll help with the wounded, if needed."
